On Whose Arm He Leans.
New York Sun.

Mr.. John Sherman, Secretary of
the Treasury of the United States.
appears in public, on an occasion of
interest. and to him of great solem-
nifty, leaning on the arm of woman
for support. This woman, for sew:
eral days past, has been communion
ting information about various mat
ters and about herself. When she
talks on other subjects, there is too
much reason TO believe that her
statements are to be taken with
many grains of allowance. When
she speaks of herself, we will con-
cede her description TO be truthful.
This woman is one Mrs. jerks, Of
whom we have had occasion to dis
course already. A letter was intrus-
ted to Mrs. jerks by a friend, Mr.
Weber, to be delivered TO Mr.. John
Sherman, at the time one of the Wis.
iting statesmen. She opened THIS letter
and read it. 1t demanded written
pledges-such as he had already
given orally-of Mr.. Sherman. This
'white-souled' woman, according to
her own story, twas Disguised with
Weber for presuming to demand
written pledges from such a man as
John Sherman And so the white
SON. woman wrote or dictated just
such letter as Mr.. Weber requested,
and signed John Sherman's name to
it! Her own estimate Of this per-
formance is given very briefly in her
own words. She says: IT toaS q

What importance Mrs. jerks at
taches to perjury we are not advis~
ed. We are left to infer her esti-
mate Of the gravity of one crime by
her own statement of her views of
another Of corresponding heinous-
ness. Forgery she esteems "a small

In reference to q elerkship which
Mrs. jerks at one time held in the
Treasury Department, she testified {:

much by my services. X I
went there almost every day when 1
had nothing else to do.
We suspect Mrs. jerks will prove
just as Improbable to Mr.. Secretary
Sherman as she did to the Govern
ment. When he Promenades-to
speak fguratively but aptly-before

arm Of this woman, every one alrea-
dy begins to preceive that ne -leans

He Believed in Immortality.

In Mr.. -Bryant's poem, @The

are these lines:
So they pass
From the stage to stage along the shi-
ming course Ea z.-..
Of that fair river, broadened like a sea.
AS its smooth eddies curl along their
way, UilE
They bring old friends together hands
are clasped
In joy unspeakable the mothers arm
Again are folded round the child she
loved
And lost. Ola sorrows are forgotten
now,
Or but remembered to make sweet the
hour
That overpays them wounded hearts
that bled
Or broke are healed forever.
A gentleman who had been sorely
bereaved was SC struck by the un-
questioning faith in immortality here
expressed, that he wrote to Mr..
Bryant, asking if the lines were to
be understood as a statement Of his
own belief. Mr.. Bryant instantly
replied in the following note, which
has not been published before, aud
which has peculiar interest at this
time.
