Sherman Anecdotes.

The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes: "There
are few men living who possess Gen.
eral Sherman's faculty for rarely re-
peating the same anecdote. 1t is not
often that any man can be found, after
reaching the age of sixty, who does not
unconsciously tell the same story two
or three times, if at all given to reminis-
cence, but it is generally safe to assume
that the commander of the Army of the
Tennessee tells something new every
time he opens his mouth. While
swapping stories with General Lew
Wallace and Senator Daniels, the other
day, he said: Down at Selma wanted
to get good personal inspection of the
ground, and left my horse with an Or
DERBY while | took trip on foot. The
main body had advanced and the
skirmishers had gone to the rear.
passed two fellows lying flat on their
stomachs in the underbrush. They
were playing poker. | heard one of
them say: | see you five hundred
and raise you thousand This struck
me as an extraordinary stake for soldiers
who got SIG month, and my curiosity
was excited. | stepped up and saw
that each one of them had haversack
packed with bank-notes. AS | got
closer, however, | found it was con-
federate money that they were playing
with. | suppose they had 100000 be-
tween them. Why, the ante in that
game was 500 no limit"
General Wallace made good sally at
Sherman's expense just after this rela-
ton. Sherman was telling about a
very clever woman spy, who had passed
through the confederate lines and had
travelled nearly 900 miles to reach his
headquarters and report She was
one of the most extraordinary women
ever saw" he said, "and supplied me
with very valuable information. She
not only gave plans and drawings, but
she was able to tell of intended move
ments that ought not to have been
known to any person outside of the
commander of the opposing forces and
his most trusted advisers. | asked her
if she needed money, and she said that
to continue her work she must have
$500 in greenbacks and $4,000 in con-
federate money. / got the $500, but l
was doubtful about getting such large
sum as SO 900, even in rebel scrip.
called in General Fitzpatrick and asked
him if he could get some contraband
money. How much do you need?' he
asked. A pretty good sum- l re-
piled; $1,000 oh said Fitzpatrick,
: that is small matter. always

pulled $4,000 out of his pocket and

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Gus
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and &,
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inlamed condition of the mucus
surfaces.

another hole there and continues to

NJ. H., STowE.-Since the clerks of the

rerating their own pensions, with SUM or

$1,000 year or more, IL is often asked II 1T
would not be better when pensioner ac-
