sherman ana sheridan.

The Albany Argus shashes oil the fol-
lowing pen-and-ink sketch Of these two
military worthless:
Gen. VIM. I. Sherman on Thursday
yielded command Of the army to Lieut..
Gen. Philip II. Sheridan. The powers
of the latter are inc ceased, but not his
rank. The law is that ithe rank OF ge-
eral shall lapse on the death Of Sher-
man. and that of Acknowledgement on
the death OF Sheridan. This was with
the view of restoring eventually the old
system Of having tie highest rank that
of maio' general, the senior maior-ge-
neral to command the army, under the
constitutional control of the president as
commandments of the land and
naval forces both. The change from
Sherman to Sheridan is an interesting
historical event. Both are men of ge-
MUS. The genius OF each is similar in its
intense vitality, but unlike in all other
respects. sherman Bis a great s~trdtegist
rs we'll as a great campaigneT, a scholar,
a cynic, an orator, a waiter, kisser, a
strong hater for a short while, an egOtist,
terrible in war, lazy in peace, with
a sporadic energy in authorship,
full OF cheer for the
bows" n OF ralilery tOr tne glTis.
Peace makes a Bohemian Of him-but
he has an old soldiers dogmatism, testi-
ness, a~necdote, and as a citizen his COM
mon sense is amazing in its amount.
His are the weaknesses which hang on
the neck Of strength. Sheridan's genius
has so far been illustrated only by nand-
ling troops in action, by ~improvising re-
sources or devices in great emergencies
and by his ability t. inspire confidence
Of spirit and celebrity of movement
among his men. In these regards he
never had a superior in the Union Army.
He has a few powers extraordinarily de-
veloped. Sherman has SO many 20 pow
eruily developed, that they border on
the thin partiti IN which divides grand
capacity from Ecblimated crankism. Re-
speeding books, society and pleasure,
Sheridan is commonplace. He is intense
in battle, but not intellectual out of il

New York World.
Four gentlemen we're seated at a
table in the smoking Of the steam
err Alaska, of the Guion line, on her re-
cent remarkable trip across. The sea
was running heavy, and the smoking
room steward found it a delicate matter
to place a glass and a bottle before each
ofthe four gentlemen and TO uncork the
complimentary giugera ale otherwise.t than
on his head. The conversation turned
on the extraordinary good speed the
steamer was making, and led to a BET
In covering" the wager Of a sovereign
uDon a trivial matter, n OF the four
gentlemen took from his purse a guinea
OF the reign OF William and Mary.
There are only two of them in exist
ence," he said proudly, "and this piece
is worth a hundred times its face valua
Had / the other, the collection of tive
would be simply invaluable to numis-
matists."
He laid II on the table as he spoke,
and in a moment afte. the coin had dis
appeared. Nobody saw it fall or glide
off the table. Nobody saw anybody else
take it. Its owner searched high and
low; his three companions and the
steward helped him. No other per-
sons were in the compartment, and
yet the coin could not be found.
These four men had been strangers TO
each other when the voyage began.
They had been Eve DAYS out, and were
rapidly nearing port. The owner Of the
va liable coin was inconsOlable, suspicious
and p~rofane bv turns.

rolled through the ceiling. Somebody
here must have it. Let all of us be
searched"
All agreed but one gentleman, who
had hitherto said nothing. He positively
refused TO suffer such an indignity. When
it was suggested to him that where all
Others agreed no single person ought to
object, he simply declined, made ms
bow, took his drink alone and left for bis
siateroom.
The good ship AlaskaSploughed on 70
her sixth day, and Just after her com
plotting it Fire Island was sighted. The
gentleman who had Frefused to be
searched had been put in coventry; the
three others who had eat at the table
with him had unanimously suspected
him.
But Just as the pilot came abos d the
Alaska tne gentleman who had lost the
guinea found it sticking in the sole of his
boot, where il had been wedged ever
since he had first displayed it. He was
overjoyed at his discovery and anxiJ us
10 make amends for his unjust suspic-
ions.
"But," said he, to the gentleman who
had refused TO be searched, why OF
earth did you not agree as We all did t
| such a simple test? That would have
settled the matter instantly"
"No, it wouldn't" answered the other
"Why not?"
Because (oroducing his pursel there
is the only other coin o; the kind in the
world-same date, same color, worn the
same! That is the reason | refused tC
be searched, for nothing en- earth would
have made yon believe this was not you
own coin had you not been so lucky al
to recover it."
As the Alaska steamed into port a So
cial glass removed all traces Of unpleas
