A TALE OF A SHIFT.
The Length of Time the Great Iowa
Statesman Wore One.
Denver (Col.) Tribune.

Aprcpos of General Sherman's visit to
Denver, story is told of the generals expe-
rience with Henry Clay Dean. The two had
been friends for years, and when Sherman
became general and Dean happened to be IN
Washington, the latter, naturally enough,
felt desire to renew his old acquaintance.
So he called at Sherman's house, and the gen.
eral received him with open arms. They
talked over old times, and nothing would do
but Dean must stay to dinner. .But, Gen.
eral," demonstrated Mrs. Sherman in her hus-
bands ear, 81 can't have such dirty-look-
ing man at my table; can't you spruce him
up little?" The general said he'd tx that,
and so at an opportune moment he hustled
Mr. Dean upstairs, ransacb ed bureau, and
produced a clean shirt for him to put on.
Mrs. Sherman was Modified and the dinner
was really charming affair, for there is no
more delightful, entertaining and in
structive conyersationalist than Henry
Clay Dean. One year after this event
General Sherman was at the Lin
dell Hotel, ST. Louis, with his family. A
card was brought up bearing Henry Clay
Deans name. Mrs Sherman was very much
pleased. ale is such a charming talker; We
rnust have him for dinner. Only, you mus
see that he looks presentable." These were
ma adams words to the warrior. So sherman
welcomed Dean, and, Just before going TO
dinner. slipped him in a zide room and gave
him clean shirt to wear. Dean dofied ms
coat and vest, and, after brief struggle, oil

it had seen long and hard service. Then
they all went down to dinner. Mr.. Dean
was more charming than ever, and Mrs.
Sherman was in ecstacies. The next day, a.
Mira. Sherman was getting her husbands
du1J and clothes together, preparatory to
packing them for the onward march, she
gave q sort OF wild, hunted scream.
"What is it, my dear" called the general
from the next room.
"Just come in here Tor minute" replied
Mrs. Sherman, with faint gasps.
The general went in. There stood Mrs.
Sherman, holding in her LETT hand the be-
grimed shirt Henry Clay Dean had left.
With her right hand she pointed to certain
initials on the lower edge OF the bosom.
The initials read, "W. T. s." 1t was the
identical shirt General Sherman had loaned
Henry Clay Dean in Washington twelve
months before.

A Assembly. there can be no lodging OF the
issua Much curiosity is felt by the
p,e.bvterians in every part OF the
country as to how the assembly VIII
decide the matter. The Quincy tlll.)
WHO remarks that "no doubt many
Presbyterian ministers, oil liberal turn oil
mind. sincerely believe that if dancing Is
nroperJy conducted in the home circle, 1t is
neither contrary to the law OF God or the
policy Of the church; but the vast majority
entertain different estimate OF the amuse-
ment, which they consider detrimental to
spiritual growth. Perhaps none oil them,
even the most liberal, would consent to offer
open encouragement TO dancing; while if the
assembly positively upholds the Erie synod,
and declares dancing an ungodly sin Tor
which a church member may be expelled,
there will be a genuine uprosr among the
younger Presbyterians OF the city churches"
This is great moral question that ought to
be finally and forever disposed OF. In other
days dancing was looked upon by nearly all
the religious denominations one OF the
blacklist of sins But it has been tolerated
OF late years, and now the fresDy-
terians are called upon to meet
the issuse face to face. The problem
is full of complications. For the assembly
to prohibit dancing will be to invite GER
tain disobedience to its DEGREES, occasion
many church trials and explosions. On the
other hand, TO pronounce dancing, per sc, a
sinless diversion will be to open wide tine
door and to invite and encourage this health
full exercise. The difficulty is to know where
to draw the line. As we understand the row
as far as it has progressed, Mr.. Donaldson
sinnsd mildly in a parlor dance. If the as
sembly con6rm the action of his local
synod divisions will follow. If he be exon
Grated every Presbyterian divine would be
at liberty 10 caper to the fiddle, provided, OF
course, that he cuts the pigeon-wing grace
fully and iu a m hammer of solemnity becoming
a minister and not calculated to encourage
licentieusness The question is momentoui
one, and il Donaldson should be expelled We
presume he will set up new school, to b
called the Dancing Presbyterians.

MAY 81, ISS:
WOMEN IN POLITICS.


The question of woman suffrage seems to
have received new impulse in all parts OF
The country. 1t will come sooner or later,
and the time of IFS arrival depends upon the
women themselves. Whenever majority OF
the women demand the right to vote as
matter Of self-protectiOn, the right will be
granted. Men are too gallant TO thrust upon
women z boon they do not want. The posi-
bilily Of woman suffrage will accomplish
good in one respect. 1t will induce women
to read less about fashionable frivolities, and
more about all that concerns their great
material interests. Every day the women are
heard to say: 81 don't know anything about
politics. ] never read the newspaper articles
or speeches in Congress about politics"
The women do themselves injustice by this
confession Of ignorance. They. are inter-
ested in politics. The clothes they wear,
the food they eat, and the educa-
ton of their children are all bound
mp in politics. Prices go up because base
politicians spend and plumber go much OF
the public money that taxes have to be in
creased Women ought to understand poll
lice, 20 that she can instill honest politics
into the minds Of the boys at her knee. The
woman who supposes that she has nothing to
do with politics, and politics nothing to do
with her, Is very much mistaken. She is as
directly interested as her husband, father or
brother. The men do the voting, but women
can induenc these votes if they will devote
rs much time to politics as to fashion. Every
true woman should understand politics-how
a protective tariff increases the price Of
everything they wear, eat and drink; how
Inonopolies Cypress the labor of their hands,
and how the Importation OF the Chinese
will reduce the poor to penury and
want. When the women take more in
terest in politics we will have better
men in the Legislatures and better
lave a large majority Of the women declars
that they do not wish to vote themselves, Oh
to participate in the ruck and noise of mass
meetings and conventions. But by reading
politics and understanding the tissues in

fashions, hey can quietly but effec tually in

to-day when James E. Doyle, the convicted
eounierfsiter. was brought in for sentence.
It was intimate ted that potent influences had
been at work and that he would not go TO
the penitentiary. The event justified the
statement. Judge Bangs, the prisone: s
counsel, said to the court that he learned,
on trustworthy authority, that the Wash-

suspended for time, at least and the
prisoner admitted tc bail. District-Attorney
Leake said the at:orney-general had in
structed him to Withdraw the motion for

accordingly did. The court refused to
reduce the bail, but it is believed Doyle will

% CLEVELAND, o, May 20.-Probably the
Youngest man OF Ohio who ever assumed the
fights and responsibilities which appertain
to- the position of head of family Is
Eddie Marshall, of Cleveland, son of a
wealthy and weil-known merchant. Ohio
leads in everything, and there are many
rapid youths within Its boundaries, but little
Eddie crowds precedent to the wall and en-
tiers upon the responsibilities OF married
life with cheerful haste at the age OF Jour
teen, and If The statements of the newly
made Mrs. Marshall are true, he will discount
all previous records and become a father
before his fifteenth birthday. The bride, as a
result of her own plentiful lack OF discre-
ton and her boy husbands absence of good
Judgment that should characterize man OF
such assumption, is now under arrest
on a charge of perjury, sworn out
by Mr. f. H. Marshall, her unwilling father
in-law. The details of this romantic little
affair, as nearly as the correspondent can
ascertain. are as follows: Annie Heilan, the
heroine OF the romance, six months ago was
tender and trusted maiden of twenty-six
and half years, occupying the newly Sc.
cured position as master mechanic IN chief
of the household of Mr.. Charles Pease, Mar
shalrs neighbor. Being of an attractive
disposition, she soon formed the intimate ac-
auaintanee of Eddie Marshall, whose smooth

| H., rAar- n ,lr-ra or
ried by proper minister in this city. Mr.
| Marshall Immediately swore out a warrant
charging Miss Heilan with perjury, in de.
posing that her prospective husband hao
attained his legal majority, and she wa'
arrested, but gave bond for her appearance
and is now at liberty. She states, positively
that they were married, but that she has moi
seen her husband since that event. To thu
false swearing she pleads not guilty, anC

clerk whether the other party to the licens'
was twenty.one years old or not.
