GEN. M'CLERNAND's MEETING WITH GEN. SHEER
MAN ABOUT YEAR AGO.
From the Chicago News
Gen. John A. McClernand, who has been
brought to the front as a candidate for the
Springfield collectorship in opposition to the
man backed by Congressman Springer, is one
of the old school politicians Of illinois, He be-
longs to the class Of men that never forgives an
injury and never forgets q wrong. Gen. Nc
Clernand was one Of the bravest and best vol
cess as an officer naturally drew him into the
jealOusies which existed between the West
that entire struggle Gen McGiernand gioried
in the success of the volunteer officers and
strongly maintained his own right to distinc-
ton. The history OF his quarrels with the other
generals would I'LL a large book. Probably the
| most bitter dispute was with Gen. Sherman.
with sherman and positively refused to forgive
the real or supposed injury.
The two generals seldom met. but when they
did neither recognized the other Time how
ever, had n sOftening influence upon Gen. Sher-
man, and when, little over year ago, he went
Battle-fiag Memorial hall, he was ready to kiss
and make up with Gen. McClernand. The lat
ter was in no such mind: Unlike Gen. Palmer,
refused to pay the distinguished soldier who
visited Springfield that day any honor. Palmer
the state house, and paid him other attentions
McCernand ignored Shermans presence, and,
| in order to avoid meeting him, did not enter
until after Gen. BLACK had begun the delivery
of the Grafton of the day Even then he entered
by n side door and took seat down among the
audience, though requested to go on the stage
Gen. Palmer caught sight of him and remarked
to Gen. Sherman: 'Gen. McClernand has just
come in"
"Ask him to come up here" replied sher-
man.
Palmer edged his way to McClernand and
said: "Gen. McClernand, GenSherman requests
that you come upon the stage"
"Did Gen. sherman send this message to me?"
asked Mct'lernand, Us he assumed his most dig
nificd air; land SO you, Gen. Palmer, bring such

cot course: why not?" questioned Palmer.
"Gen. Palmer" said the still more dignified
McClernand, "have you condoned the wrongs
of 20 years agO?
~ haven't condoned anything" said Palmer.
l. "but think it is about time we gray-haired
fools had quit making asses of ourselves. Why
should we keep up old quarrels which interest
nobody and do us no gOOd?"
"Well, said McClernand, 81 will 90: but con
vcntiOnally, Sir, conventiOnally, remember
and they proceeded to the stage When they
arrived before Gen. Sherman thai DISTINGUISHED
gentleman arose and offered his hand. The au-
dicnce was composed mainly OF old soldiers,
who knew Of the longstanding quarrel. Be
iieving this to be n reconciliation the soldiers
heartily applauded, and Gen. Black was com
PEELED to discontinue his speech for short time
Even now there are very few who were i'm that
audience who know that the handshaking was
only conventional"

Why the Working Classes DO Not Go to
Church.

According to information given to the Chris
tian Union by large number of clergymen,
not more than five per cent Of American ar
tisans in cities habitually attend religious SER
vices of any kind All but two OF the letters
say that the attendance is diminishing, and all
but one that the neglect is not from unbelief in
Christianity. The cause of nOn-church attend
ance, as given by these experts, may
he summed As follows: The men have to
work all the week, and~t they recreate on
Sunday. They cannot dress as we'll as those
s MIN whom s,o they must associate, and
secret societies are as good as the church. They
are unable to pay for the privileges becauseO
the high prices OF things which they must have.
The large salaries OF the ministers disgust some.
Some feel that the minister is hireling, and
therefore seeks to npbuild his church as doctor
seeks TO increase his practice, not from love OF
souls, but to increase his salary. Some employ
ers III labor are SO bad in their treatment of their
employees that the men do not want to 60 where
they shall meet those in whose real Chrfstianity
they have so little faith All the letters indf-
cate that especially In the large places, artisans
feel that they are not welcomed in churches
frequented by the Weather classes.

which her betrothed belonged was insolvent.
She Immediately wrote him Il letter breaking

no more than time to stop the preparations for
the wedding. Two hours after it had been

insolvency was false. Accompanied by her
parents she fastened to the post Office 10 de-
mand the return of her letter. The postmaster
politely declined to give it up. The young lady
insisted, but the postmaster remained firm
The parents began to argue the case. 1t was
useless. They became excited; their daughter
became hystcrical, and there was a scene. But
appeals, entreaties, tears, wringing of hands
and threats of flnting were all in vain: the
polite postmaster had but one answer The
rule admitted of no exception, and the letter
was already, in the eyes of the law, the nrOn-

the moods and lenses OF the verb 'to be-" She

time it seemed as If no one could prevent it.
Finally Aunt Kate made rule not to answer
an incorrect question, but to wait until 1t was

Presently doll society became tedious, and the
