washington July 81.
Little Phil Snerioan, born IN 1881, in
Somerset, Ohio, of Irish parentage, had
very lively and vivacous boyhood He
was active and fearless, and he kept up
good deal Of excitement in Perry county
during the decade in which he made his
appearance. He might have sat for the
portrait OF Pee s Bad Boy" for he was
up TO oil the mischief there was. lie
rode every horse that nobody else could
ride, and whipped every boy within five
miles. When an attempt was made TO
discipline him at school he liclSed' the
school-master and ran away and was
seen no more for O week. He was Ia
nous for his pranlxs and depredations.
In a novel Of somewhat scanty circu-
lation, said to be based on certain Curl
GUS circumstances Of Sheridan's life, the
boy is thus spoken of:
This incormgible Phil was queer
little chap TO look at Stunted in fig
ure, with long, thin arms, short legs,
and disproportionately broad shoulders,
nature had refused to give him neck
but generously made amends by bestow-
ing an enormous cad, that seemed twice
TOO large for his dwarfed little body
Combntiveness and destruetiVeness were
Unfortunately large and this wonderful
head was round at the top and looked
as hard as a new bullet, characteristic
of the warlilSe element that pervaded his
fierce nature. Tough, wiry and agile
as young Indian, cold or heat, storm OF
sunshine, had little effect on him. Hard
words and hard knocks he took and gave
uninchingly as if that were what he
cgme into the world for and had no
other mission to accomplish. A crop Of
stiff black hair, cut as short as possible,
and of even exactness, came to an abrupt
point where il met the bold forehead and,
curving away from the temples, made
