NEW YORK, October 1.
1t is the duty of correspondent to report thing
az they are, not as hs would have them be, where
fore must report that the reception tendered las
| night to General SHERIDAN was all that his mos
ardent admirers and most enthusiastic supporter
could have desired. The club-room OF the Unloi
League is located on Seventeenth street, next u
the Everett House, and directly facing unloi
Square. At an early hour Of the night this hand

around, shedding sun-like glare that played IAN
tastically upon the upturneds scountenanceS Oh

lungs that had come cut in the bleal
atmosphere OF an autumn hight' W run

the pleasant and selfimposed task OF cheering

one pair Of lungs in that lst sea thst did not JOIN
in the chasring exercise, it was not pecause 'ne
owner thereof is wanting either IN Loyalty 10 .he
Union as it ought to bs, or ins admiration Oh 1he
great soldier, who, as a, soldier, won meritcdre-
hown but lost it in the field Of politics. but because
said lungs arelocsted in too close proximity "
heart that pulsater at times with palniui I'LL
bings as memory recalls the form and ieatures o'
many well beloved friend who, but aIe" years
since, were in the bloem of life and health, Dut
whose ewes we're closed in death, and who, when
the battle ragged hotly, lay dead upon the bloody
field, martyrs to cause now lost forever.
The General made his appearance al the CluD
Rooms about a couple of hours after the appointed
time, accompanied by his staff, andlmmediateiy the
sea undulatsd in big and ittIa wayelets, and the

there were loud calls for SHERIDAN. He came not
vet; the lion was not yet to be seen or rather nc
did not come and was seen, but was not yet des-
tined to open his mouth and hold forth: The per-
formsnce was opened by speech from Mr. JAY
who INTRODUCED the lion to the crowd OF lockers

PHIL. himself addressed the mulh.ude. OF course
the great man began by stating as all great men
do on similar occasions, that he was particularly
honored and hugely delighted, after winch
he -complim@ted the minority the expense OF
the majority by paying, rtribats to "the men in
the ranks" Now, there were thousands present
who hadnot besnsins the farks, but Who, neverthe-
ehessed the loudest, and as they cheered they
chuckled at the thought that, though in hundred

besides these there we're number Of ladaes IN me tae

vited to take Tea with CEsAR's wife, were, never
tneess, sufficiently imbred with patriotic fervor to
indnce them to cone sout into the, pheumoma-
threatening night air to catch glimpse OF little

they would also drink their fill.

perhsps greater German rival FANNY JANAuscHEK
has arrived. FANNY JANAuscHEK, the wonderful
actress, the worid-renowned German tragedlenne'
said to be superior to RIsroRT. 1t has been re-
lated Of GARRIoK that his great genius, added TO
his extraordinary control over his features and
countenance enabled him at times to enter room
of company and assume so perfectly the look and
manrsFos, an Sequsinfance as actually to deceive
tbe vats ere.sieht of the nearest afriends of the
individual whose features and expression he as
sumed. There is no direct evidence OF the truth
of this, ahfss the thins SsSora@ themaryelous
