SHERMAN'S HUMORS.
Characteristic Stories Of the Dead
General.
His Goodness in Time of Dsnger-A Grim Com.
pliment Spartan Simplicity Wanted
to Invade England.

Now that he is dead, numberless are the
stories related of General Sherman, who,
though cold and undemonstrative in his
manners, was not without certain sense of
grim humor, that often led him to perpetrate
jokes on those about him, and some of which
at this time may be of interest.
His strange, coarse face, which was usu-
ally stern and thoughtful. would at times
light up with a smile that was positively
captivating, and again he would laugh i'm
moderately at his own jokes. While such
Generals as Logan, Hooker and Mcpherson
might create unbounded enthusiasm among
their troops, Sherman never did, but in spite
of this Re possessed the confidence of the
men who followed him TO a degree not eX-
celled by any commander of modern times
Whatever "Old Billy" as the army de-
lighted to call him, said or did was all right,
and no one ever Qestioned the wisdom of
his orders.

HE REBUKED THE SOLDIER.

Previous to the battle of Resaca Sherman
had been anXiousIy engaged during the
night in maturing his plans for the morn
ing, and on the next day, wearied and
sleepy, he sat down under the shade of a
tree to rest. He soon fell asleep, and as he
was accc mpanied by a single orderly very
few Of the men, as they marched by, knew
it was Sherman.
rs that a General?" asked a private
soldier.
Yes" said the orderly.
- pretty way we are commanded when
our generals are lying drunk beside the
Toad!' exclaimed the soldier, walking off
ia disgust.

Steering last night l was planning for you,
sir, and was taking a much needed nap"
Then Strengthening himself up to his full

The soldier was allowed to stink away,
and he probably never disturbed sleeping
general again.

POWDER INSTEAD OF Tracts.

Sherman's abrupt manner of dealing
with persons whose business was distastefni
to him gave rise to good many stories
about him. On one occasion a deputation
from some commission waited on him for
transportation to bring up supplies, and
particularly: tracts anu Bibles for the SOL
ders.
Tracts and Bibles, gentlemen" was the
curt reply, ''may be all right in their way,
but rations and ammunition are much better.

GOODNESS IN DANGER.

The Illustrate his GOODNESS while under
fire, it is related that during the five or six
days operations while in front of Rock Face
Ridge the different corps and division COM
manderS had their headquarters contiguous
10 their commands. Major General Howard,
who commanded the Fourth Army Corps,
had his unassumiDg quarters OF fly tents in
the rear of his command, and under fire of
the enemy's long-range guns. Several shells
fell quite near, creating some commotion in
the camp without disturbing Howard in the
least. The latter had ridden out in front
OF his lines and was struck by a spent ball.
Meantime Sherman called at his quarters.
and being told that Howard was expected
back i'll few moments, sat down to rest. A
moment later a shell hurtled through the air,
aud was followed by another, which burst
near Sherman. Some of the staff officers
became uneasy and suggested that they
move on as Howard was not likely to return
soon.
sherman arose and began walking to and
fro In his nervous, fdgetty way, when he
CHANGED to espy Howard, who rode up. Adj
dressing the latter he said, with a smile:
Il say, Howard, do you know you are the
pOlitest man in.the arny?"
