ton yesterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock. General
Sherman dined at the residence of Major w. Fl.
Calkine. and did not attend the musical festi-
val in the evening. The Major is an old ac-
quaintance and friend of the General, having
been for time on his staff during the war.

L. Brown, of the executive committee, called on
the General few minutes before he left on the
train for st. Louis. to express to him their
thanks for his attendance. The General was
smoking cigar, and it must be said

graceful smoker He forsets to draw upon it
and the fire is most of the time extinct. 'Im
'glad l came" he said with great warmth. In an
swer 70 Colonel Blacks remarks. ut has been
an exceedingly pleasant time to me. That mon

every fallen Indiana soldier upon it. If you

graved on copper ard put under the

might be carved the stone, at least the colo

pense not too great The copper-plates would
not cost much, and the record would be valuable.

As the General left he expressed the hope that
he might some day pay another visit to Indian
apolis, his reception here and the welcome of SO
many former comrades having evidently touched
the old heros heart
