GENERAL SHERMAN.
Ills Feasibility and Petulance - His One
Trouble with Grant.

ntA 1FASCAB1uty and RetulanCe HIS One
Trouble with Grant.
New York Letter.
The mental condition of General w. T. Sher-
man is giving his friends much uneasiness. He
has shown an Feasibility and petulance Of late
that revives all the old stories of his moods dur
ing certain periods of the war; | know from
their own lips that some of his relatives in the
East are alarmed for him. He has written lei
tiers to persons East and West in such tenor and
OF such character as to leave no doubt that he is
seriously unsettled in his mind. It may DO
merely the effect of the sharp controversy with
General Fry and the consequent irritation; but
whatever 1T 10 it causes much anxiety among his
friends. There is just trace of insanity in the
Generals family His father Judge Sherman,
OF Ohio married a Hoyt She was sister. | be-
lieve, of the grandfather of Mary Irene Hoyt,
who has been fighting in the courts here for pos
session of fortune that her father put out of her
hands at his death, because ne believed her to
be insane. She was once incarcerated for months
in Pennsylvania mad house-a private asylum.
Old Tecumseh Is accounted among his intimates
as much greater man than the ordinary esti-
mate of him by the public. An army officer said
to me about him to-day
Sherman had that greatest of all possessions
OF really great man, the capacity to sacrifice
himself for the public good can give you two
forcible illustrations 1t is common knowledge
that II he would have permitted it o bill would
have been passed exempting the Office of General
of the Army from the operations of the law of
retirement. He thought it unfair to his comrades
in arms, and refused to allow the exemption Co
be made The op'y cloud that came between
him and Grant was because he refused to APP
polnt Fred Grant to place on his staff. Fred
had graduated at the tail of his class, and Sher-
man thought it would be a serious discourage
ment TO the young officers of the army to put
him forward for favor when so many deserved
the place for merit 1t was brave thing to do,
because there was at the time necessity that
Sherman should keep on good terms with Grant.
Mrs. Grant never quite forgave Sherman.

CARDINAL MCLosKEY,s RED HAT.
The Ornament that Now Occupies q Place In
ST Patrick's Cathedral.


ST Patrlck's Cathedral
New York Herald.
Visitors to the cathedral during the lenten
services will notice that there is now suspended
from the keystone of the groned roof, right over
the high altar, somewhat remarkable object.
Its great height above the floor may render it
somewhat difficult for those who do not possess
good sight to tell what it is, but if they look at
it carefully they will find it to be low-crowned,
broad brlmmed hat of red color, with red
and gold cords hanging from the inside of
the crown, to each of which are attached
fifteen small red and gold tassels It Is the hat
which marked the elevation of the first Ameri-
can who ever attained the honor to the dignity
of the Roman purple and is the one placed on
the head of the late Cardinal McCloskey by his
Holiness Pope Plus TX, when the Archbishop
was created cardinal by the title OF Sta. Maris
supra Minervam. The Pope, with his own
hands, placed this hat on the head of the Cardi-
nal ON that occasion, and it has never been worn
since. At his Eminence's funeral it may have
been observed thatit was put at the foot OF the
casket which contained his body, and it is ia
miliar to all by its representation over the Car
dlnals arms, over the main door of the cathedral
and elsewhere.
After the death of any of the Roman cardinals
the red hat is always hung up in his church,
though generally in that from which he takes
his title in the Eternal City; in fact, so far as
known. there is but one other Cardinals hat pre-
served outside of Rome-namely, that of the
late Cardinal Wiseman, which is hung in the
Church of st. Mary, Moorfelds, London. The
presence of the hat in the Cathedral of New
York will remind future generations of the ami
able prelate, whose talents and virtues caused
the Pope to elevate him to the highest dignity
within his power to confer. The red hat itself
represents to the cardinal that it is his duty at
all times to be ready. and willing, if
occasion arises. to lay down mis- life
for the faith, or for even the least of the
privileges of the Holy See; and thus, while it
confers dignity which entities the owner to
more royal honors in the church, it also reminds
him that the duties which are inseparable from
that Office may call upon him to be stained in the
imperial purple of his own blood
The presence of the cardinals hat within st.
Patricks Cathedral will recall to mind that,
whatever may happen in the future and else
where, this, at least, is the honor of New York
that it gave to the church the first American
cardinal, aud that it was in this cathedral that
first was seen in the great republic of the West
the imperial purple of Rome; that here presided
who, although an American citizen and
proud to claim his citizenship, was also prince
of the church. and representative of vigorous
Western life within the innermost circle of her
ruling councillors

DAHvILLE, Ind. March 13.-The most time

is the postofhce question. A Democratic admin

Democracy; but If Colonel Matson does not take
