come into the Ebbitt House the other evening to
make call He stopped moment in the ro
tunda to talk to some friends. A group Of mill
tary officers immediately gathered about him.
A stranger would never have selected him as
their Commander-inC Chief. A more unmihtary-
looking man never lived in civilians dress. He
needs his uniform. Most of theofficers about him
were in civilians dress Also but there was hardly
one of them who did not wear some outward
sign Of his military character. Sheridan is very
short and each year seems to add to the rotund-
ity of his pndgy figure. When / saw him in the
lobby he wore upon the back of his round. bullet
head, a very slim, high old-fashioned silk hat of
style that was very popular about the time of
the close of the war 1t was about two sizes too
small His short, iron gray hair stood out from
under the rim of his hat at nearly right angles
with it. His red weatherb beaten face does not
show any new lines of advancing age, but his
grizzly, Iron-gray mustache and imperial are
whitening very fast He wore short, light,
yellow gray overcoat, which had emily two but
tons, and they were nearly reaay to fly off from
the undue strain of Sheridan round figure. The
coat, like the hat appeared to have been long

to lock at the General square in the face, its

he is not as popular as was General Sherman

A year ago intelligence was received from
Rome that many of the relics purchased there
from time to time were fraudulent and that for

the genuineness or falsity of his relics, and an
answer was received that they were fraudulent.
