the country which was in due time of I'M

1t now seems very strange that Gen. Sher-
man should have been a state officer of Lou
isiana, at the head OF her military school,
when the state seeded, and that many Of his
closest personal friends should have been Con-
federateS; yet SO il was, and his case was but
one of many thousands who had TO wrench
asunder the most pleasant ties and Ego with
their states" Stranger still, it was not till
the 18th of May, 1861, that the government
venJured to commission him. He started in
the war as colonel of the Thirteenth regular
infantry Since the death of Sheridan he is the
sole survivor Of those who attained the high
est commands, and long may he live to enjoy
the honor.
His brother John attained fame much ear
lier, and has been a public man for thirty
five years. He and William A. Howard, OF
Michigan, were the two Republican mem
bers as Mordecai Oliver was the Democratic
member, of the celebrated congressional COM
mittee sent TO investigate" Kansas in 1856.
These facts have already caused the public
to partially forget the invaluable service he
rendered to the national finances during the
middle era Of his career-let us say from 1868
TO 1881; yet it is as great fnancier that he
must take rank in history.

scholars and men Of lettevs to look into

NEW YORK, Feb. 1o.-My acquaintance
with Wait Whitman, ''the good gray poet"
dates back to 1857, and I have known him and
his ways more or less intimately ever since.
He learned the printers trade in a job
printing Office in Brooklyn. In his young
manhood he and the late Frank Otterson, who
was many years a writer on The Tribune,
were setting type side by side in printing
Office in Spruce street. The brothers Fowler
were then creating a sensation in phrenology.
One day Whitman and Otterson were chatting
each other as to what might be said of their
mental endowments should they submit their
craniums to a poking and q b-uising by the
digits of the Fovlers

am little ahead of my story, but it
makes small difference.
After Whitman abandoned the printers
case for poetry he was many times In sore
need. He went to New Orleans and tried his
hand at reporting, but poetry and reporting
do not run together and he returned to New
York. He soon made the acquaintance OF
some Broadway omnibus drivers. The omnA-
bus Jehus of thosetimes were wild, muscular,
reckless fellows, whose occupation made them
more reckless still. Many of them lived out
in an old disreputable caravansary near Gem
trail park. Walt was always Samaritan,
and he entered ON reformation at the awful
rookery. But 1 never learned that he sue
ceeded further than finding a subject for u
"barbaric yaup," for which he was after
ward dismissed from a clerkship in the post
master generals Office at Washington, and
which clerkship he had earned as nurse to
wounded soldiers round Washington during
the war.
While dividing his time between the Jehu
rookery and Charley Pfaff's Bohemian cellar
on Broadway, little south Of where the old
Winter Garden stood, and where the Grand
Central hotel now stands, one OF his happy
diversions was to drive q Broadway onzaaibus
for some Jehu when sick. For this work he
would never accept pay, and there was not
driver on Broadway from the Park to tho
Battery who would not check his wild career
TO tip his hat to Volt when he saw him on
the great thoroughfare, heaving along and
'sloafing with his soul"
In PfstFs there was 4 long table that eI-
tended under the sidewalk. It was sacredly
reserved for the Bohemian band, who were
always to be found around that table in the
evening, and bright men they we're. They
included in their number George Arnold,
William Wiusar, Harry Clapp, Ed Wilkins,
Frank Otterson, Consul to Japan House,
William Ross Wallace, who wrote 1.-The
Sword Of Bunker Hill" for which he received
three dollars, and out Of which the music
publishers made at least hundred thousand;
Fitziames O'Brien. who wrote Diamond

these Fitz-Greene Hai}eck was periodical
visitor-that is, he always dropped In to SEQ
tho boys and drink hot Scotch with them

About twice week Walt Whitman had
new ''barbaric yaup" TO read he never
failed TO begin business on entering Pfaf1s by
hanging up his jertin On nail Then he
would proceed to roll up his shirt sleeves and
rest his elbows on the table. Without utter
ing q word he would sule on everybody
around him. he feEx there waSa great sur

he determined to adopt both. One of them
died; the other, as Miss Mary Sherman, grew
up TO be very pretty young lady, and is the
very apple of her adopted parents eyes.
Long before this he had shown the warmer
side OF his nature by taking his mother and
sisters to his home as soon as he had earned
money enough TO make a home. The sisters
were married at his house, and the mother
made it her homo till death. His devotion 10
