GENERAL sHERMAN's FAMILY
Some Pleasant Gossip Concern
ing q Distinguished Family.

From Washington letter.
Mrs. Gen Sherman has not ming
led in gay society for the past two
winters. leaving her socis. matters in
the hands of her daughters, Miss
Lizzie and Miss Rachel Sherman.
Their kouse is net as gay as it used
to be when the married daughters
were at home. but it is yet the center
Of army and navy circles. There is .
general regret over their prospective
departure from here next season. as
from the general down every member
Of the family is endeared BY their win
ming qualities to legion Of friends.
Mrs. Sherman enjoys good health,
and finds her greatest happiness in
the undisiurbed routine of home lite
and attention to her church matters.
She is always present at one of the
early masses at st. Matthews church,
which almost adjoins her residence,
and she still actively engages in be-
nevOIent works of every kind The
eldest daughter has her mothers quiet
disposition and whining manner. Miss
Rachel, the youngest daughter. is
charming girl with peachy complex
ION. correct features and deep blue.
All the daughters have been fond of
travelling with the general. and in
that way have seen nearly every nook
and corner from ocean to ocean. Miss
Rachel enjoyed about six months of
European travel with II family Of
ex -Secretary Evarts, before her entry
into society. All the Shermans are
fond of outdoor exercise, and will be
met more frequently walking than
riding. Miss Rachel is an accom-
plished hOrsewoman, and with her
young brother, "Cump." is a familiar
figure on the suburban roads every
fair day in the spring and fall when
in town. Their house entertainments
are entirely devoid OF formality, and
when they give party everybody
enjoys it. There are ALWAYS beaux
enough to 60 around, aud the general
may always be found i'm the middle
ct the fem. He generally assists his
on their recep ion days. and
makes visitors linger-stay longer
than the accustomed ''call."

An Interview that was Forgotten.

A reporter employed Oh the paper now

column interview, yesterday, with several
citizens OF Sedalia on the manner in which
the postofice is managed, but be could
have strung il out still further had he pub
lished his interview with J. A. Fisher.
clerk at the Garrison house. Thinking ii
possible the reporter referred to had lost n
portion OF his notes. and was thus deferred
from furnishing Mr.. Fishers remarks, the
BAzoO takes pleasure in laying them ne
fore the public, as follows:

Burying the Baby.


| remember that the far-away re.

the gray dawn, and as We stood on ouI
feet and listened more intentiy, we
could now and then catch the echoes
of an internal war-whoop
There were twenty of US, miners all.

Jun attack and butchery," whisper
ell our leader as We listened; and
without another word We picked up
our traps and headed for the spot at a
half run.
Two immigrant families, FARMERS
from Indiana, who had started for the
land of gold and had separated from
the train from within or accident, had
encamped in a bit of green valley be-
side the trail. There were thirteen
souls of them, and one might wonder
if the bravest among them did not
shsdder with fear a. the night crept
down and the howl Of the wolf came
from the rocky hills.
The men had seen their danger,
and both had set out to act as sentinels
through the long night. Hour after
hour had passed away without an
alarm, and just as dawn was breaking
The merciless savages, creeping along
like snakes. had found one of the SEN
tinels asleep. A thrust from knife
finished him 60 quickly that he did
not even throw up HE arms. Perhaps he
uttered a single cry or groan and
alarmed the other, for the second one
was shot while running towards the
wagon.
Then, with both men dead. came
the rush: upon the women and children.
Only ferds could do such work ~ was
done there, and when We came to look
at it the strongest men in the party
grow white and faint. Every head
but one was scalped, and no doubt the
scalps had been taken while the vic
Tins lived. The bodies were backed
and gashed-hands and arms severed,
brains beaten out-children flung into
the campfire, and the spectacle was
one to live in memory when all else
had been forgotten. The fepds had
finished their work of butchery before
We were near enough to open Gre, and
it was poor consolation to save the
wagons. While all the bodies were
vet warm, life had departed from each
and every one. We were collecting
them in heap, TO make ready for
burial, when . sudden wall startled
everybody.

Another Hicks. Lord A flair.

Mrs. Reid, widow of Colonel Reid,
brother of Whitelaw Reid, of the New
York Tribune, was married in New
Haven, Conn, on Thursday to John NJ.
Quackenbos, Of Brooklyn. She came to
New Haven 10 days ago alone, and at
first we to the Tontine Hotel, but sub
sequcntly took room at the Selden
House. 1t was soon whispered about
that she was awaiting the arrival of her
intended husband, and they were to be
quickly welded in church. 1t was re-
ported that the groom was gentleman
Of large wealth, much her senior in age,
and bearing an old and respected name
All this proved to be true. Mrs. Reid
is about 3s years old, while her husband
is 70. She received the bridegroom on
Thursday morning in the hotel parlors,
and later in the day they We're quietly
married, and then took the train for
New York. 1t is supposed that it is a
runaway match, and that Mr.. Quacken-
bos had good reasons to evade certain
relatives who Nave been anxiouSly
awaiting the final disposition Of his
property. The sequel, it is thought,
may not be unlike that of the famous
Hicks Lord case in New York.

answer, rose to his feet and advancing
a step toward the witness, asked, "werr
