The Way John Sherman Puts 1t.

There Is something epigramatic
in the way Mr.. John Sherman,
Secretary of the Treasury, and
brother of William Tecumseh Shel-
man, de- crit es The administration
of Grant IN Louisiana. He says it
reads like IL history of hell. This
is strong language; but Mr.. Sher-
man processes to have made him.
self familiar with the subject, and
he was supporter of Grant.
1t is proposed to re.elect Gen.
Grant. Since he went out of Office
he has spent his time courting hon.
ors from the monarchical Govern
ments of the Old World. He has
been studying those Governments.
There is no reason to expect that,
II reelected, he would make an
administration anywise different
from what he made before, unless
1t should bo more monarchical.
Grant was particularly felt In LOU
isiana, and there his friend Sher.
man tells us that the history of his
rule reads like the history of hell.
All persons in favor of converting
this country into q pandemonium
will support Gen. Grant for re-
election.-N Y S,n.

Poker in Colorado.

The town Of Fairplay, Colorado,
so named from the fair manner in
which its people play poker, was
enliveued not long since by a little
game whose satisfactory result will
commend it favorably to all who
become entangled in like disputes.
Before the draw, Mr.. Graves held a
king full and Walker rejoiced IN
three aces, but after that interest
ing ceremony, Walker exhibited
four aces, and claimed the stakes,
whereupon Graves drew a sixshoot-
er and reckoned his hand was the
best. Walker imm ediately supple
mented the four aces with u bowie
knife, and the dispute was settled
to the perfect satisfaction of the
outsiders. There was enough in
the pot to purchase two handsome
collins, and the next day both gen.
tlemen took up permanent resi-
dences. side by side, in the beauti-
full cemetery that reflects SO much
credit upon Fairplay.

An Old Mans Melancholy.

We were impressed not long
since with q brief experience Of q
good old man who was slightly in
toxicated, for one night only, as
related by himself: II went home
angry and ashamed" he said, "and
half gone with horror, in anticIpa-
tion of what my wife Sarah would
say about 1t. l took off my shoes
and hung them on the gate post in
the excess of my timidity. I got
into the house with marvellous
dexterlty and into the bedroom
without making the slightest
noise. Sarah always slept in front.
The footboard was unusually high,
and / never was much of u gym.
mast; but my success thus far had
impressed me SO that felt equal to
almost anything"
His sadness was such that his
hearers were sad too, and one
young person was SO much agitated
at his long pause and deep signs
that he burst forth, III sea how it
is; you probably fell and broke
your neck"
"NO, my young friend" replied
the old man, ''it wasn't that; 1
climbed that foot-board slowly,
painfully. and with the utmost
caution aud secrecy. You have
heard, perhaps, how excessively
large aud threatening every noise
is In the stiffness of u dark night,
when you are trying to keep still
yourself and occasionally straining
your ears in fear of some sound
that is nevertheless expected and
pretty sure to come. That was
what allied me. My heart beat like
drum, and the clock ih the room
licked as if 1t would like to arouse
the whole neighborhood. 1 got
safely down into that bed and un.
der the clothes. L laughed to N.Y.
self until the bed shook. My fear
had given place to an unnatural
hilarity. grinned and chuckIed
and was exceedingly absurd. |
can never think of that time with.
out shuddering and wishing that
somebody would hand me sponge
wherewith to wipe it out. 1t struck
me suddenly that Sarah was uu.
naturally still. 1 put my hand
over to her side of the bed and,
merciful heavens! -r
Was she dead?" inquired the
young person. his jaw falling and
his eyes standing out with intense
anxiety.
"No, young feiier," replied the
good old men, "she was not there.
She had gone to neighbours to pass
the night, AID, insuffarable idiot
that l was, l had forgotten all
about it," He bowed his head in
his trembling hands, and the tears
trickied through his fingers and
ran down his long gray beard.

Any mum ber of English law
lords and judges have been men of
humble origin. Lords Eldon and
Stowell sprang from a coal filter;
Tenterden and st. Leonards from
BARRIERS; Lord Hardwicke, who be-
came Attorney General at 81, from
Dover attorney, who, according
TO some, was hung for forgery.
Chief Baron Pollock-whose broth
er became Field Marshal-was
the son of a Charing Cross saddler.
Sir William Follett-the ablest ad-
v0cate of the century-was son of
an Exeter tradesman, as was also
Lord Clifford. When rising in the
world lawyers generally show a
strong conservative bias. De
Tocqueville pointed out that they
were the conservative ele ment in
this country.

Frederick the Great was peculiar
In dietetics as in other things. A
strong man, he took strong food.
To-day" Zimmerman writes,
"the King has taken great guam.

large tablespoonful of pounded
mace and pounded ginger. He
then ate large slice of beef stewed
in brandy. This he followed up by
copious allowance of an Italian
dish, composed half of maize flour
and half of Parmesan cheese. Tc
this he added the juice of garlic

Lord Beaconsfield meant the
present United States when, in his
speech to parliament explaining
his course in Berlin, he said that
England lost most of her most
precious possessions through bad
government-a loss which every
Englishman must deplore at this
moment, and which would not
have occurred If the principle
which now governs her relations
with the colonies had been then
observed" 1t is interesting to
know that even at this day, more
than one hundred years from the
Declaration Of Independence, the
loss of the thirteen colonies Is de-
plored by Engiand's greatest states
