IT Is reported around the country that
Gen. Sherman Was offered by his publish
crs 100000 for the copyright of his Me-
Inoirs. "This," says tho Now York Sur,
'fs not true. The publishers told him,
probably, that If he would let the book
lie sold by subscription, its sale would
amount TO sixty thousand copies; and MS
his copyright is halfn dollar volume,
or ono dollar on each copy Of the Whole
book, such sale would net 100000. The
General, however, rejected this proposal,
prcfcrring to have tho work sold through
tho ordinary channel Of tho book trade.
AS every expert knows, this mode Of sell
ing n book produces much smaller re.

JESSE POMEROY.
A Description of the .sBOy Ftend'' of
Boston.

A correspondent furnishes the
Brooklyn Eagle with the following
description of Jesse Pomeroy, who was
sentenced to be hanged:
/ have known Jesse and his father
and mother for some time, and am
furthermore acquainted with all the
facts of the many atrocities perpe-
trated by the youthful criminal.
Jesse's father, up to two years ago,
was a porter in shipping house. He
is a rough, big looking man, some
what morose, but by no means given
to vice of any grade. Mrs. Pomeroy
is medium sized woman, of fair edu-
cation and excellent character, and
for some time kept a millinery store
in South Boston. Before that they
resided in Charleston. Jesse first at
tended Methodist and then Uni
versalist Sunday school, and was a
diligent and attentive scholar. His
teachers all speak we'll of him, and
there is no record of his ever having
been addicted to cruelty in any form
until the crimes which brought him
into notoriety were discovered.
AT the time when Jesse thus became
known he was twelve years old. He
stood nearly five feet high. His chest
was as deep and square as that of
full-grown man. His legs and arms
were moulded in symmetry and
strength. When he was examined by
medical man, was present, and but
for the testimony of his mother and
the official registry of his birth, we
should have fixed his age at eighteen
or nineteen instead of twelve. His
feet and hands were small, his flesh
was delicately white, and his muscu-
lar developments were perfect. The
most remarkable point in his physique
was the head. 1t was perfect study.
1t was almost large enough for two
boys of his age. The forehead rose
straight M nearly four inches, and
was of great breadth. The back was
nearly in straight line with the
spinal column. The ears, small and
clean cut, were low down. The lower
Jaw was broad and nIasolve. The
mouth was wide, and the lips were
thin, and formed like Cupid's bow,
the upper being very deep. The nose
was somewhat short and broad, and
the nostrils were disclosed. The eye
brows were dark, heavy and beetling.
Thr features that attracted most at
tention were the eyes. The right eye
was pale blue or gray full of intelli-
gence. The left eye was covered
with cataract, and almost perfectly
white. This was his. distinguishing
mark, and but for this defect, Jesse
Pomeroy might have been still at lib
erty furnishing fresh horrors for the
public, and new surprises for the po-
lice. Jesse's attainments as scholar
were by no means meagre. He was
educated at the public schools, and
was always diligent. At home he
spent his leisure in leading books of
travel and adventure and he could
converse intelligently, and in a pecul-
idaly winning tone. His voice was
low and melodious, and he was par
ticular favorite with other boys, on
account of his gentle manners. He
was never known to be rough or
boisterous, and always manifested af-
fection for his parents and a DISPOSE
ton to oblige strangers. He was,
however, of a retiring disposition, and
had very few, if any, playmates OF his
own age. All of his companions We're
boys younger than himself.

TWICE ASLEEP.

A child lies sleeping in calm repose,
AS sweet and fair as dewy rose;
Her little white hands are laid at rest
Over her gently heaving breast.
Sunny smiles on her red lips play.
Linger moment, then pass away
Forms and faces of earth and air
Fit through her mind as.she slumbers there
Amid the misty and mellow skies,
Their white wings dazzle her dreaming eyes
Until she wakens in mute dismay
While her fleeting fancies fade away.
She sleeps again-in her last repose;
She lies like withered and faded rose.
Over her forehead, pale and fair,
Ripple her tresseS of golden hair.
Her little white hands are laid at rest
Over her tranquil and lifeless breast.
Her voice is silent, and, come what may,
No smile will gladden. her lips of clay;
For the happy dreams she dreamed are
through;
How sweet to hope they all came true!
