EX-SENATOR sHARoNs TROUBLES.
Mr. Sharon, who has been having such an
unpleasant time in San Francisco is also hav-
ing some troubles in Washington, where he
owns about $500, 900 worth of real estate. A few
| months ago some of this property was sold, but
all the legal requirements in regard to the trans
fer were not completed, and since the verdict
which made Miss Hill the ex-Senator's wife
was rendered the purchasers, one of whom was
Secretary Frelinghuysen, have refused TO have
anything further to do with the matter. They
have no desire whatever to have brush with
the virtuous Sarah Althea in the courts.
GEN. SHERMAN,
The distinguished ex-General Of the Army,
arrived in the city last Saturday evening, un-
announced, and proceeded at once to the house
of his brother, Senator Sherman, where he will
remain during his stay here, which may be
week or 10 days. His first visits were to his
nieces,-the wives of Senator J. Don Cameron,
OF Pa and Gen. Nelson A. Mies,-after which
he called on the President, Secretary of War,
and Gen. Sheridan, and paid his respects to his
numerous old friends and admirers in the city.
UNION SOLDIERS ALLIANCE.
One Of the very pleasant little groups Of SOL
dier5 in this city goes by the name of the Union
Soldiers Alliance Its objects are simply COM
radeship and pleasant social intercourse.
Therefore, its membership is limited to 100,
and as one backball defeats a candidate, no
one ever gets in who is not entirely agreeable
to every other member. The Alliance has now
entered upon its seventh year, which it signal
lied by banquet last week in the spacious
dining-rooms of the National Hotel, and a
very charming occasion it was with splendid
menu, and a true feast of reason and flow Of
SOUL Gen. Rosecrans was the guest of the ALI
ance, and was given royal welcome. A bright
little speech that he made was cheered to the
echo, and the last thing done before breaking up
was to give :" three cheers for Old Rosey." The
following were the regular toasts and responses:

rade G. E. Coon; "The Republic-Its Safety
and Perpetuity," Comrade S. S. Burdette; The
