on floor and gallery, and the vast au-
lience was following the speech with
the closest attention. Suddenly. rs
Conkling came to point where he de-
sired to have rather long extract
read, instead of following custom and
sending the book up to the clerk )
desk. he paused with his characteristic lc

A GLIMPSE OF TWO GENERALS.


Two famous men strolled through
the corridors OF the Fifth Avenue ho-
tie, one evening this week. One was
tall and spare in form. His gray beard
was short and thin. His eye was as
clear as "a hawks. His companion
was short and pudgy. His hair and
mustache were gray, but lac had a mil
itary air about him that proclaimed
him a soldier. The first was Gen.
William II. Sherman and his compan-
ion was Gen. Phil Sheridan. AS they
paced the floor together they attracted
good deal of attention. a reporter
for one OF the morning papers espled
them, and concluded he would inter-
view them. lie walked up bravely,
touched his hat very properly, and be-
