ton Traveller correspondent that Sherman was
not ehrstened until after he was eighteen years
of age. The Clergyman objected, at the cere-
mony, to christen him William Tecumseh, on the
ground that the second name was heather
one. The future general of the army then said
that the name which his father had given him
was good enough for him, ana If the minister

AFTER the Emperor, Field Marshal Won Moltke
is, beyond question, the most popular man in
Germany. The King of saxOny is specially at
taohed to him, and never fails TO visit him when
both are in Berlin. when at court festivals the
magnates file past the Emperor and other royal
personages, the King of Saxcny, when present,
always rises at the approach of the Field Mar
shall, and this gives the signal for the whole
court to follow his example. Count Won Moltke
is wdOwer, and has no children. He was hap
PLY married for twenty-six years to lady
whose maiden name was Burt, who died in
1868. Being very simple in his tastes, he spends
little on himself, but ls ever ready to help his
relations.
GATH's gossip; ST shook hands with General
Sherman i'll Broadway last week. He is nearly
straight, but 1 thought looked little white and
| hOury, sif moving had been too much for him.

home-ike feeling at the prospect of having our
own time, we hope, for some remaining years.
Sherman and Grant were both st. Louis men be-
fore the war. Grant drove in cord wood, they
say; Sherman was president of "a borse-car line;
Sheridan dug and carried earth out of canal
cutting in Ohio. They all started so plainly
that, although a-horse, they feel the opposite of
Sidney Smith coming through the toll-gate:
How much is the tollP said he. Nothing, sir,
for foot passengers. Dear me- exclaimed
Smith, looking down, Il thought was on horse
back"
