SENATOR SHERMAN OF Ono. The New
York Sun is authority for the assertion that
Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, went to
Washington sixteen years ago, poor man, f,
being worth about $50, 900 in property al
Mansfield; that he is now worth 81 ,OO0, 900
and has an income of $50, 900 per annum,
and that his fortune was made in connection
with the Senate Financial Committee, and
his peculiar intimacy with the banking firm
of Jay Cooke Il Co. The Sun also says it
is easy to count twenty or twenty-five Sen
aiors who went to " ashington poor and are
now rolling in wealth. Such charges as these
ought not to 60 unno,ced. John Sherman
owes it to his good name to defy the proof OF
the truth of this charge; and if he does not
we shall be al liberty to believe it.

popular desires and needs. Indeed, when we
think into how many homes it penetrates every

for its vast popularity has been won by no
appeal to stupid preiudIces or depraved tastes.

The character which this Magazine possesses
for variety, enterprise, artistic wealth, and
literary culture that has kept pace with, If 1t
