ANOTHER SHERMAN sLUNDER.

General Grant once said of Admiral
Porter that it would have been good
thing for him if he had never been
ihaught to read ar write. Admiral
Porter is not the only man of note Of
whom the same may be said. General
Sherman has remarkable faculty OF
getting himself into trouble with bis
pen. He has just succeeded in explain-
ing away the remark that If General
G. F. Smith had lived General Grant
would have disappeared after the capt
ure of Fort Donelson, when he makes
fresh trouble for himself by the letter
giving his reasons why he could not
make donation for the benefit OF a
worthy lady fofa long time connected
with the public schools of st. Louis.
Insiead Of simply declining, as many
richer men Than General Sherman do,
he mus 90 on 10 Stale that his vile
regards public schools and common
bar.roonls as upon subs antial equal
ity as educators OF the young. Mrs,
Sherman, OF course, has right to her
own opinions, but she is unfortunate in
having husband who cannot keep
her opinions within the family
range. II General Shel man is forced
to pay for the teaehing of his children
al private schools because his wife will
NOT permit them 10 attend public
schools, the matter l. one with which
the public have nothing TO do. Gen
eral Sherman Is not candidate for
public Office, and if he was, he would
knock himself out in the first rogad.
