BIG INJUN JOHN SHERMAN.
The Fight He Did Not Fight.--COIOneI
John S%avage's Version.

NASHVILLE, November 24.-Colo-
mel John ii. Savage, speaking to-day
Of the Sherman Wright affair, says he.
is the mar alluded to as being Wright
companion. Savage regards Wright's
card, with the exception of one or two
minor details, as a literally true state
ment and contributes a chapter him
self to Sherman's record as a big
brave.
Savage served in congress with
Sherman and knew him well. Sher-
maj was chairman, or leading man Of
the committee which reported on
Kansas affairs, and the admission of
Whitfield as delegate from that Ter.
ritory. The report raised a storm on
the Southern side. Whitfield was
originally from Tennessee, and Savage
was put forward to answer the report.
In a lengthy speech, which caused
great comment throughout the coun-
try at the time he branded it as false,
a forgery, and dishonorable, with
special reference to Sherman, giving
him an opportunity to take it up if he
wished to. Sherman took no action
whatever in the matter. This was
three weeks before the Wright en-
counter. Savage said hat knowing
Sherman as he did, he expected no
trouble but of course, as was custo-
nary. he prepared himself for emer-
genoies.
As TO the episode at the capitol,
Savage says he came out with Wright.
Zollicoffer had advised a street fight ;
but Savage, on account of Wright
inexperience in such matters, had
counseled against that method, pre-
ferring a duel. They were coming
down the walk. Sherman surrounded
by six or eight friends, was approach
ing from another direction, the paths
crossing neal a fountain. Wright and
Savage we're walking slowly, as the
latter wanted to keep his man cool.
Sherman and his friends were going at
a rapid gait and when Wright reached
the crossingpoint, Sherman had passed
on some thirty or forty yards. One of
Sherman's friends-Kelsey a New
York congressman-had Jagged be-
hind, and had to doublequick to catch
up. In this way did Sherman corner
his adversary.
Sherman's attack on a man whom
he supposed to be dead is regarded
throughout the State with contempt.
and is an illustration that not South
ern Democrats but Northern Republi-
cans are reviving unpleasant sectional
incidents.

ON home interests and on people,
instead OF ideas and things; and

Sally Halls Irritation and this,
not among vulgar, ignorant peo-
pie, but men and women of some
culture and refinement. 1t would
be a good rule to establish at every
table that people should seldom be
mentioned, and dress never. No
education can enlarge, the minds
of children constantly cramped by
such petty bounds. The only rem
edy for such be-littling thoughts il
for parents to test their own posi-
ton in the world, and to find out
how insignificant place they and
their village and their State hold
in it. They would begin to learn
that life was given them for noblei
ends than intending chatter over d
new bonnet or gown or the gossip
