GsSEasAE SHERMAN

In a letter to the Richmond Dis
2)atch, nabney II. Maurey handles
General T cumseh Sherman with
gloves off. After reviewing Sherman s
military operations and demonstra-
ting that his strategic abilities are
greatly overrated, he closes as fol-
lows:
You know he was captain commits
sary IN the Mexican war and resigned
soon after to take charge of banking
house III California. His bank soon
broke, ard he was destitute aud home
less, aud VIII nigh crazy. In his dis
ress he did not receive aid aud COM
fort from his kinsfolk IL New England, =,
but from these very Louisiana gen
tiemen whom Sheridan wants now
TO shoot as banditti These iden-
teal individuals are some of those
who took Sherman by the hand III
that time of his poverty and distress.
Gen. Mason Graham. Gen Dick lay
lor, Duncan Kenuer and other infu-
ential planters, had sherman made
superintendent Of the Louisiana State
Seminary. with good salary and a
broke out.
When Louisiana seeded Sherm; u
resigned his position in her service,
and prepared to go back 70 the North
\ numoer of gentlemen dined with
him on the eve of his departure. His
leavetaking was affecting. He told
them we are on the verge of a fierce
war, the end Of which none may live
to see For myself, [ shall go to some
far-on country and await the close OF
the dreadful strife, for nothing can
ever induce me to draw my sword
against people who have befriended
me as you gentlemen of Louisiana
have

purposes and f"ul ISLANDERS upon these
gentlemen fill the whole country with

A GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.
THE FUNERAL OF AN OLD PoRTER-FORTl
YEARS OF FAITHFUL SERVICE.

THE FUNERAL OF AN OLD PoRTER-FoRTY
YEARS OF FAITHFUL SERVICE.
The following story of beautiful affection
between an employee and his employers is
told by the New York Sun: A little funeral
train bore to Greenwood yesterday the
remains of one of the most faithful, honest
and eccentric men of New York city. II was
the body of "Old Peter" Meyers for 40 years
porter in the bonded warehouses at 266
Front and 29l Water streets. Not much is
known of the early history of Old Peter
except that 40 years ago he entered
the service of the late Mr.. G.. Merle,
who then owned the warehouses at 2SS
Water street, and remained with him, the
most fiithful of servants, until the death of
master. He rented little place in the rear
of the stores, and so constant was his at
tention to duty that he almost grew into
the niche between the stone pillars OF the
doorway where he worked. Day after day
and year after year he stood unfailingly at
mis- post, scarcely ever going of the block,
and there was hardly merchant or carman
in the lower part of the city but knew Of
the 'old Dutchman," as he was called. On
the death of Mr.. Merle, his business went
into the hands of Mr.. Frank Squire, and
Peter went with it as naturally as did the
walls and doOrposts of the warehouse.
just preceding his death Mr.. Merle said to
his successor, Peter has been
GOOD SERVANT,
and / want you to take good care of him
after am gone. and see that he never sui
fers for any thiL G." Mr.. Squire gave the
promise and sacredly Kept it up to the death
of the old porter. At the time of the war OF
the rebellion, Mr.. Squire prevailed upon
Peter to go up to Astor place to get a wooden
leg to replace leg that had been crushed,
and that was his first visit to any street so
far up town after the memorable celebration
of the opening of Croton Aqueduct. He
once lived in Broom street and used to ride
down on the Third avenue cars every morn
ing, until one day the car which he hailed
refused to stop for him. After that he de-
| clsred be would never ride on the cars
again. and never pay them another cent,
and this VOW he faithfully kept. Every
morning thereafter he hoDbled down, re.
turned at night in the same manner, un-
bucKled his woooen leg and went to bed.
About seven months ago the authorities
began pulling down part Of the old store
house to make room for the anchorage of
the new bridge. Peter looked upon the
demolition of the old landmark with deep
concern. and his heart could not brook the
change. He tell sick, bis wounded limb
panied him more and more, and he was
confined to his bed. Mr.. Squire, who has
paid the rent of the old porter for several
years, kept bis promise and continued
Pet RS salary, and provided medical attend
ance. Peter dice, and the store in which he had
served so long and faithfully was closed on
the day of his burial for the first time in
many years. All his associates folio wed
his body to the grave.

His groorns and horses are fat and sleek,
He has lackeys behind and lackeys before,
He rides at s. hundred guineas week
The anvil is sing ng its ten pounds ten,
The navis pipes from the birken spray
And this IS the song that hlls the glen'
John O'the Smithy has all 10 pay.
John has a daughter rosy and sweet,
My lord has a son with a wicked eye,
When she hears the sound of his horses feet,
Her heart beats quicker, she knows not why :
She Will know very wen oelore lhe emu
Wnen she has the young lords babe to tend,
And the bishops daughter becomes his bride
There will be the old, old story TO tell,
OF villainous wrongs in places nigh,
A bishop glorying the deeds OF hell,
The priest and the Levite passing by;
And the father may bow his frosted head,
AS he sees the young bride up at the hail.
And say, - 'Tyvere better my child was dead,
But John the Smithy must bear IL all.
The smith and his daughter will pass away,
and anothe- will maze the anvil ring,
For the daily bred ard the holden .ray.
But the profits shall go 70 the P-@ ana KING

Each to mis- task in tire old dull way,
To grind measure OF priestly corn.
And the smiths shall live on the coarsest fare,
With title that they may call thei own,
While the ider is free from toll and care,
And the best of all shall go 10 the drone;
And the smiths complain of the anvil song,
Complain Of the years they have wrought and
pined,
For priests and rulers are swift to wrong,
And the mills of God are slow TO grind.
But clear strong voice from over lhe sea,
SO piercing The mark of the mOralnlght,
Time was, time is, and time shall be
That John U'Jhe Smithy shall have his right
And those who have worn the mitre crown,
Who have pressed him sore in body and soul,
Shall perish nom earth when the grist is ground
And the mighty miller has claimed his toll.

able than that proven by the first. It is
positively stated that Jackson is known to
have visited
wELL-KNowN AssIeNATIoN HOUSE
on Green street number of times during
the last year. The woman who keeps the
house SAYS that he was not in the habit of
meeting any one person, but that she sent
out for different women on his several
visits. 1t is not believed, however, that he
speIt any considerable amount OF the stolen
money on women. In the house re-
TERED to, the proprietress saws that
be did not spend more than $50 during
all the time that he visited her establish
ment. Neither is there any evidence that
he ever gambled, but, as yet, there is not the
least clue of what he did with the money.
1t may be definitely stated that the bulk of
the money-probably S75,000-was stolen
during last February. The existence of a
confederate, who has invested the proceeds
of Jackson's crime, is the most probable
theory of bow the money was disposed OF.
1t is said that this self possessed scoundrel
stole $1,000 during the very progress OF
the investigation which disclosed his guilt.
1t is very curious that Jackson kept in his
desk regular account of his robberies. Two
full sets of bis monthly reports were found !;
one set copy of the fraudulent reports sent
to Washington, the other set containing the
exact amount of his stealings. This looked
as If he felt it necessary to keep an account
of stock, in order to know the exact amount
of his prosperity in stealing. This amount
corresponds te a cent with that which the
Investigations of the treasury officials dis
covered in the accounts Of the Office. Mrs.
Jackson was informed of her husband S
crime on Tuesday afternoon, and is said 80
have been greatly prOstrated since.

THE RESTING PLACE OF GEN. NArHANIR


THE RESTING PLACE OF GEN. NATHANIEL
LYON.
Picturesque indeed, writes Con
necticut correspondent of the Springfield
Mass Union, is the region where the re-
mains of the brave Gen. Nathaniel Lyon re-
pose in the Phcenixville (Eastford) cemetery.
This burial ground is on hillside, aud Is
half overgrown with brush and weeds,
while several dilapidated wooden factories
hard by are fast going to decay. The Lvon
family lot itself is not negle ected and the
monument erected by his friends shows an
equestrian figure OF the little general in bss
relief. About two miles distant is the farm
house where he was born and the little
school house where he began the education
that was finished at West Point, and in the
same neighborhood still lives Lorenzo Lyon,
a brother of the general, He treasures the
hsro's watch. worn by him when he fell at
Wilson's creek, August 10, 1861; also the
commission of brigadier general, issued and
signed the day previous, August 8, by Presi-
dent Lincoln, to date from Lyons capture OF
Camp Jackson in Maya document Lyon
never saw.

hot season, keeps little CELLAR open for the

Wondering what becomes OF all the lead
pencils is in order. In one week of last
month a firm near New York received or
ders for AS miles of lead pencils. To make
these only $1,000 feet of cedar lumber are re-
quired, and after they are made they will
load six freight cars. This immense con-
sumption of lead pencils is doubtless caused
by the attempts of women to sharpen them
with pair of scissors or dull case knife.
Persons who have witnessed these efforts
need no longer wonder at the demand.
