Phil. sheridan.

In view of his great services in achieving
victory upon the battle field, and in securing
the fruits of that victory in the administra-
tion of his department under the reconstruc-
ton act, and especially since he, as the rep
resentative Of the national sentiment on the
question Of reconstruction, has been re-
moved, that through him the national feel
ing and sentiment might be insulted, the
birth place and personal history of Phil.
Sheridan is becoming one of decided interest
to the people of this country.
We gather the following facts from a
somewhat lengthy biographical sketch of
him, given by correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial =
Philip II. Sheridan was born at the city of
Albany, State of New York, in February,
1881. His parents are natives Of Ireland,
county of Kerry. Their Oldest child, Pat
rick, was also born in Ireland. About the
year 1929 John Sheridan and wife, with their
first-born, bid farewell to their native land
and came to America, their adopted and
chosen home. They first located at Albany,
N. Y, where, as before stated, Philip H..
Sheridan was born. They resided here about
five years. While Philip was very young
his parents removed to Somerset, Perry
county, Ohio. The parents were in limited
circumstances. Pills early experience was
that of other boys similarly situated. When
the turnpike was being built through Somer-
set, Phil's father used to own and drive a
cart Men of Pills age tell us that they
have often seen him hanging on his fathers
cart, and once-in-a-while when he woult
get TO drive he would be highly delighted
Phil. must have been regarded as very
honest boy, for while very young in years
he was taken by John Talbot, hardware
merchant, to serve in his store. He served
| MIR. Talbot satisfactorily about two years
After leaving Mr.. Talbot, the subject o
our sketch went TO stand in the store OF ID
Whitehead, dry goods merchant of Somer
set. Here, we believe, hcremained until HI
was appointed a cadet at West Point
General Thomas Ritchey, a farmer livins
five miles east of Somerset, had been elcctet
to Congress for the district composed o
Perry, Morgan, and Washington. Mr.
Ritchey was a good judge OF character
He was acquainted with young Sheridan
took q fancy to him, and proposed to SEN
him to West Point. Young Sheridan wa
willing, and his parents agreed to 1t. Tn
lawyer who drew up the papers in the cas-
told me they were not very sanguine that M
would be accepted, an account of his size
He was very small for his age, but he wa
duly accepted, and took his place as al
humble student at this great military school
In due course of time he graduated, re
ceiyed an appointment, and was placed O.
duty west of the Rocky mountains. Here
in some encounter with the Indians, he wo
and received his first promotion. Ther
was not much opportunity to achieve mill
tary distinction there, but at length the wa
came on, and his subsequent military caree
is well known.

Literary Notes.

The Nation In its review of two recent works OF
Mrs. Lydia Maria Child, while bestowing much
well merted praise does it in tone of affecionatc
familiarity, which, however, proper In friendly
social intercourse is improper In public journal.
The frequent play upon the authors name seems
To us Inconsistent with the dignity of paper of
the character and standing of the Nation and
lacking in proper respect towards the venerable
and well-beloved auther.
The popular German novelist Fritz Renter, In
Ills story recently translated into English, en-
titled " In the Year 13;" thus describes Herr
Amtshauptmann the chief character in the story,
and out of the authors four God-iathers, " He
used to wear well-brushed blue coat, yellowish
trousers and well-blackcd boots and his face was
SO marked by the smallpox that 1t looked as il
the devil had been thrashing his peas on It, or as
il he had sat down upon his face on cane bot
toned chair. On his broad forehead there stood
written, and in his eyes, too, you could read,
Not the fear of man but the fear of God : and he
was the right man in the right place."

The baggage of a Fashionable Lady.
The Boston Traveller says:-

The question has been frequently asked,
how much room fashionable lady requires
to pack away her dresses and garments to
make Summer tour to the watering places.
This has never been satisfactorily determin-
ed,but young lady arrived in this city from
New York, Tuesday morning, on her way
probably to- the White Mountains, who had
seven large trunks and two-good sized boxes,
in addition to her reticule, parasol, &c. She
occupied seat all alone in one of the stage
coaches during her trip across the city, and
the rack and roof of the coach were com
pletely filled with her paraphernalia.

This disease has beer canvassed hv

the sabjeet of colloeuial discussion
among the members of our Farmers

caused by an insect which punctured
the new growth upon tile tree with
ninHte holes. laboring in this way, as
was supposed, fer its sustenauce-the
sap. Some claimed they had seen
these minute oritices with the naked
eye. One who had presented twir
or twigs SO affected to scientific gen
1l.man Of this city for microscopic ex-
animation, reported the party could
distinctly see into the punctures made
by the insect, aud as no ova was dis
covered in them, he felt they must
have been made by the insect for its
livelihood. As none had seen the in

seen the insect at all, it was sn unsat-
