Gen. Sherman's Domestic Troubles.

Gen. Sherman has not gone out into
New Mexico, With the border troubles in
his mind, but has sought novelty, and
the excitement of travelling as a distrac-
ton. Within the last six months Gen.
Sherman has grown old very fast. The
attempt to reduce the army wore upon
him more than one would suppose it
would, but the crushing weight was the
| departure of his favo1ite son for Eu-
ropean monastery. Most people do not
know that the General is as much of a
foe to Catholicism as his wife is friend,
and the reason that he lives apart from
his family-he in Washington and they
in st. Louis-is that he will not tolerate
the presence Of priest under the same
roof with him.
Mrs. Sherman is the most ardent and
active lay worker that the Pope has in
America; she stands high in the counsels
of the church, both at home and abroad;
and her name is as familiar in Rome as
the name of st. Agatha, although she
was never there in her life. She is the
trustee in this country of ''Peter's
pence the offerings OF devout Catho-
lies to the Pope's private treasury-and,
shortly before he died, on the occasion
of the anniversary of his Pontifcate, the
late Plus TX. sent her rosary OF solid
gold, with fragment of "the true
cross" set in the crucifx as gem.
On the contrary, Gen. Sherman hates
priest with a profound hatred; but
Mrs. Sherman was a Catholic before he
married her-the Ewings are all Ctaho-
lics-and, while his married life has al
ways been a happy one, he has never
been able to abide with priest, and
Mrs. Sherman has never been able to
abide without one.
Thomas Ewing Sherman, the oldest
son, was intended by the General for
the bar, and he was educated ut George
town College, Catholic institution,
chosen by Mrs. Sherman, and afterward
at the Yale Law School, an institution
chosen by his father. After he gradu-
ated at Yale, he went to his mothers
house in st. Louis, and entered the law
office of the Hon. Samuel Reber. The
second son Gen. Sherman wants to make
soldier of, and the boy, now at the
age of Il years, is well read in the whole
library of military history, and can de-
scribe in detail all the military opera
tions of the war. There are but two
sons, and Mrs. Sherman had fixed her
mothers heart on having one of them
for the church. To any suggestion Of
this he would not listen, and she knew
him we'll enough to realize that an al
gument on the subject would do no
good. But, while The eldest son has had
his eyes on his law-books, his mother
has been inspiring in him an ambition
to distinguish himself in the priesthood,
and not until his conviction was formed,
and his plans decided upon, did his
father have the slightest suspicion OF a
change of intentions. When the decis-
ion was announced to him, Gen. Sher-
man is said to have groaned with sorrow,
ana he has not since seen his wife or
son. Washington Cor. Chicago Inter

A Neat SVindIe.

A new and successful mode of swim
ding has just been developed in Clarion
county, Pa. A notion peddler named
Goodman dreamed that he had found a
hidden treasure, and prevailed on a
farmer named Logue to accompany him
to the spot. The peddler pointed out a
large oak as the one he saw in his vision.
It. was apparently sound at the butt, but,
about twenty feet up, a limb had been
broken off. Mr.. Logue did not feel like
humoring what he supposed to be SUI
perstitious whim, but Goodman had
such confidence in his vision that he
offered Mr.. Logue one-half of the spoils
if he would help him cut down the tree.
He did so. When the tree fell there
was rattle of coins near where the
limb had been broken off, and small
hollow was found. Ensconsed therein
were loads OF silver. Both seemed to
be wild with delight, and, on counting
up, found the pile amounted to 1000.
The peddler expressed his unwillingness
to carry arouud so much silver in his
pocket, and inquired where he would
be likely to get greenbacks for his share.
Mr.. Logue having considerable money
in the house Immediately gave Good
man $4,000 in paper money and took
charge of the entire bulk of silver. The
peddler went off and has not since been
heard from. On endeavoring to pass
some of the silver it was found to be a
counterfeit of the poorest kind. Mr..
Logue is So, 500 out, and the story ends.
1t was clever job of gang of counter
feiters which probably infests that
county. a.s~
