Gems. sherman and sheridan

When you hear Of the impending death OF
any person. especially Of celebrity, your
mind recurs at once to the last time you saw
him. Therefore, the writer thinks Of Gen.
Sheridan as he appeared at small social
gathering in Fifth avenue one evening last
winter It was in part an assembage OF
Ohio men, with some connection or other
with the formation Of the Ohio club. with
which Cen Sheridan and other sons OF Ohio
were interested Of course, Sherman and
Sheridan were u, Lions Of the night, and
they were admired and petted great deal
by the ladies, especially by half dozeu girls
from Madam Reeds schoOl-the institution
from which Rose Elizabeth Cleveland has
just retired as an instIuctress Sherman is
famous for kissing girls at every proper op-
portunity and. although there may have
been some exaggerated accounts Of his doings
in that line, it is fact that his fatherly
kisses are apt to be bestowed upon good prov
ocation. The school girls did not dissemhia
their interest in the two warriors, but gaze'i
on them after the manner Of the aesthetic
maidess at GrosvenOr in Patience" Sher-
man bore it with adamantine fortitude and
even seemed to enjoy ii, but Sheridan seemed
different and rather i'll at ease under the
ordeal of adulation. After a while matrOn
presented her daughter TO Sherman. He
took her hand and said, 81 am very glad to
know you"
''Oh, the gladncss is all on the part of my
daughter, am sure, " said the elusive dame
"Now, general, if you would give her one OF
those celebrated kissss''---.
Sherman needed no further invitation
He kissed tho not unwilling girl with loud
smaok on the check. There was somo laugh
ter and well bred exclamatioiis at this, and
Sherman turned 10 Sheridan, introducing
the very pretty recipient Of his kiss.
''Now, Gen. Sheridan" said a gentleman,
you surely won't let Sherman get an ndvan-
tage Of you"
Sheridan had to kiss the girl or run.
There was no alternative. She stood de
murely ready for the contact He reddened
visibly, aud then, instead Of kissing the girl
on the cheek as Sherman had done, he lifted
her hand TO his lips II was something of a
disappointment 10 tho spectators, If not to
the girl, but it was dignified and handsome.

statistics of '.Guarantee oompaniea.,.

Statistics of Guarantee Companiea.s
We succeed in getting together some in
teresting statistics in our business. We keep
record Of the percentages Of loss 70 premi-
uuis, which show the average Of defalcntions
in various classes Of business When the
percentage is under 4 Of / per cent we re-
gard the risk as fair. In banks the percent
age is 81 of I per cent employees Of tele-
graph companies have averaged .Ss5 Of per
cent. with US so far, but there is an improve
ment due, as | believe, to the bonding Of
whole companies, and the consequent weed
ing out through our Investigations Of the
employees with bad records and loose habits.
Cashiers and bookkeepers have usually been
considered bad risk, but with US they have
shown a loss of only IA Of / per cent, which
makes them a very good risk.
with state and municipal officers, not
withstanding the cry Of corruption, we have
not yet met with single loss. Officers Of
corporations are perhaps the best risk on the
whole, because they are best paid and can af-
ford to be honest. After all. that is a great
thing. We find that collectors and drivers
are not an acceptable risk, for the reason that
they are so niserably paid in proportion to
the amount Of money which they handle.
Our loss with them was LIZ per cent It
isn't fair to put $4,000 or 10000 day into
the hands Of man with a wife and four
children who is drawing a salary Of $500 a
year. We consider that question very care
fully, and where a mans income seems mani
testify smaller than his needs we decline to
bond In many cases our refusal on these
grounds has shamed employers into paying.

The peeulIarItles Of sta,ne..

The personal peculiarities and passing
preferences Of Boston statues, considered
quite apart from their permanent aspect.
make a subject that the Listener may take
up when he has nothing else to do but Hoat
about and look ut things Just at this mo-
nent he can only refer TO the evident distress
which Sam Adams, always so bumptiously
erect on his pedestal in Adams square, feels
whenever it rains or SHOWS With bis ex-
quisitely dressed hair, quite discovered and
hanging in a superb queue down his back.
and his general air Of recent acquaintance
with tue interior OF a apre-revolutionary band
box, Mr.. Adams looks very comfortable in
pleasant weather, but painfully bareheaded
and awfully wet in a rain storm: and when
he appears in winter, with his fercely folded
arms laden down with snow and an icicle
hanging from either elbow, his aspect is posi-
lively pathetic.
The Listener may just notice in passing
a personal peculiarity OF another Boston
statue, to wit, the appearance which the
stony Alexander Hamilton, in Common
wealth avenue, has Of dragging the pave
ment along with him whenever the snow
covers his immense trailing mantle. 1t was
necessary, it seems TO provide the statue with
a trailing mantle in order to give additional
support for the figure. In good weather
Hamilton merely has the appearance OF lean
ing ON his mantle, but when the whole struc-
ture IS covered with snow, as It often is In
winter, he seems to be marching along and
tearing up the sidewalk sitter him Us he goes.
