NEW YonK, Nov. 2.--Genefal Sher-
man expects TO leave Washington in q
few days, coming first to New York and
then going to st. Louis. The General
gets hot when jested with as to his pos
sible candidacy for the Presidency. To
q friend who asked him II he would ac-
cept the nomination II he got II. he said;
Accept III no, not much. Don't you
suppose know what ii means, II they
nominate met The politicians don't
care anything about me, and II they
should nominate me It would be only be-
cause they thought they couldn't win
with any one else. I've got too old to
be made a catspaw by politicians. l
have ample provision for the rest OF my
days and don't think would sell my
self out for that bauble."

As there is large and most respecta-
Bile element Of the best people OF the
United States who are elamorous for the
reading Of the Bible in the pablic schools,
we are certainly not venturing too much
in appropriating remarkable sentence
from the Scriptures, and applying II to
the present plight Of the Republican
party. It ran that wicked and an adul-
ferrous generation were seeking for q
sign, which is precisely what the Repub.
liean party are doing just now. In this
eager quest thay have tried to drag Con.
eral Tecumseh Sherman into their tolls,
but that wary and sagacious statesman
and warrior declines to be thus used.
He tells this peculiar generation that
they must look elsewhere for their sign,
and that he declines to be Presidential
catspaw. II Ulysses s. Grant had had
a quarter of the sense of old Tecumseh,
be would not now be obliged to play
"eapper" for corporations to eke out a
miserable living, Sherman knows when
he is well off, and he proposes to main
tain his respectable attitude to the end.
He has hung out the lettering from his
modest st. Louis home. ''No politicians
need apply"

moment an inquisitive stranger at the
corner of Vine street heard man on
top of the pole in that neighborhood
swear and snap his fingers. The
stranger proceeded to "tree" the man
on the pole Pretty soon he came down.
He was small and why and carried a
carpet-bag full of gilded crayons.
''Do the lights sink because you swear
