Gen. sherman's Antipathy.

I remember some years ago, writes q
New York Continent reporter, inter-
viewing the late Gen. Sherman in San
Francisco. The great General met the
newspaper men about o'clock in the
afternoon, and whether it was the inhu-
ence OF the royal welcome given TO him
by old friends, he was in one OF those
moods in which man is willing to talk
freely. Someone of the group asked
him if he had any antipathies, and in a
way that made us all roar with laugh
ter, he said, eyes"
"There is but one man whom | would
put to painful death, he went on,
with twinkle of fun in his eyes. 1T
is the man who wrote Marching
Through Georgia." That tune has pur'
sued me for years in way that may not
be described. AT first | liked it, but as
time went on it wore on me until really
I hated to see band leader wave
his baton, for | knew what would
follow. The dislike of the air got
stronger and stronger; it was rapidly be-
coming sort of nightmare to me,
At last went to Europe, and | remem-
Der, as l stepped on the steamer, think
ing I'd have rest from Marching
Through Georgia, at least until l got
back. In Berlin l went with Gen. Won
Moltke to a review of some troops and
| noticed the great band massed on one
side. AS l live, when we rode up that
band broke out with the old tune, and
never in a long course of that tune have
| heard it played so loudly"

Very nice people do very odd things

season when piety forbids out and out
dissipation. The lap dog may be a new

last blow to the hopes of those who
valued that friendship. If Crispi's
overthrow is TO be Interpreted as dis
rupting the Triple Alliance, 1t may be
of the utmost significance to Europe.
But while the Italian people, and
especially the politicians, are still dis
.cussing Cabinet troubles in way
that shows their uncertainty as to the
outcome, and while King Humoert Is
vet apparently undecided about taking
the risk of a temporary Ministry under
the MARQUIS de Budini, or awaiting a
fitting opportunity TO recall the DIS
graced Premier, there is one element
in Italian affairs that is profoundly glad
of the downfall of the Old-time Sicilian
revolutionist. The Vatican bears no
love TO the ex-Premier, whose hand OF
steel has more than once been raised
against it in Sullen menace, ana, VINO
aimed. with the assistance OF the allied
Cabinets. to control the approaching
Papal conclave. with the ultimate view
of influencing the choice Of successor
10 the present POntiff who would be ac-
ceptable to the Alliance. Thirteen
wears ago he attempted to influence a
similar conclave and failed, and while
the Sacred College holds that a like re-
suit would have followed any further
attempt in the same direction, 1t Is a
moral certainty that, had CriSpi retained
the Premiership, the interference would
not have been wanting.
These matters, together with the I'M
settled health of the aged Pontiff, have
again brought the question OF the Papal
succession into prominence. There is
now mere possibility Of break in the
long line of Italians who have been
chosen for the high Office, although, as
Vatican politics cryStalize slowly, IL Is
vet too early to venture a prediction in
that respect. Among the cardinal can
didateS who are likely to be prominent
ly before the conclaYe when it assem-
bles are seven who are considered TO De
ambitious of occupying the chair OF
st. Peter, viz: Parocchi, Battaglinl'
San Felce, Agostino, Alimonda,
La Valleta and Dusmet. The hrst
is the Vicar of Rome and President
of the Sacred College, vigorous
Genoese, still under sixty, with a strong
nature vailed by mild, paternai man,
ner. He was formerly Archbishop OF
Bologna and is to-day virtually the ru-
ling spirit of the church. He is man
of the rarest erudition and the broad
est and most liberal view, although
in matters affecting the church
he is inGexible. His most powerful
rival is perhaps Cardinal La Villeta, the
dean of the Sacred College, who is Pa

Proceeding with the election by pal

dicated until choice is reached, ana
This is made known to the people by the
absence of the smoke, for although the
ballots. as In the Unsuccessful instances
are also burned, the smoke Is not per-

ger new Ring of the Fisher" the o.d
one having been broken in pieces ac-
cording 10 custom immemorial. Each
cardinal in turn approaches and salutes
the hand and foot Of the Pontitt with
the ..two-fold kiss and the assemblage
dissolves.
When one remembers that thirty-four
of the sixty odd cardinals are Italians
and that a two-thirds vote is needed to
elect. it will be seen how difficult II

But not always is this vote united; some
are. like Alimonda, leaning toward the
royal house of Italy, although they
would still preserve the papacy free

Some time ago the Independence Beige
declared that it had positive informa-
ton that the Pontiff desired that Car
dinal Lavigerie should be selected As his
successor, and had intimated as much

however than the wish of certain poll

to the world mainly through his anti

period of twenty years travelled over

tuagenaran, his robust physique and

world. and TO secure the absolute pri-
vacy of which the most extraordinary
precautions are taken. Doors and win
dows are bricked up, single entrance
being left for the use of the car
dinals. In the interval between the
death and the funeral ample opportu-
nifty has been afforded the cardinals
living in Rome, as well as those from
distance, to meet their friends, and
during these days there is apt TO be
good deal of political maneuvering; but
after the tenth day each cardinal re-
tires to his own little apartment
which is more like cell than anything
else-and thereafter he sees no one eX-
cept his confrereS, until the election IS
over. On the day Of the conclave all
are summoned from their cell by bell
thrice rung, and repair 10 the assembly
chamber. From this moment until the
result of the voting is announced they
have no communication save with the
Vatican officials, who act more ike

and even their food is searched, lest
they should contain correspondence

ted, he must speak to the injured car
dinal through an iron grating and in a
tone loud enough to be heard by the
watchers. After night of this imprison-
ment, the conclave is formally assem-
bled early next forenoon, and all repair
to the Sistine Chapel, where desk has
been provided for each cardinal. In
the middle of the hall are six tables,
and behind these an altar. Immediately
in front of the altar is table on which
are two silver bowls for holding the bal
lots. Before proceeding further, a
search is made in the chapel TO assure
the concave of the fact that none but
those entitled TO vote are present.
Three inspectors of the election are
then chosen by ballot. Should any
cardinal be so iii that he is unable TO
leave his dormitory, committee is APP
pointed to visit him and take his vote,
which is brought to the cOnclave sealed
and deposited in one Of the silver bowls.

Preliminaries being settled, the bal
loting begins. First TO cast his ballot Is
the dean of the college, who writes the
name of his candidate on slip OF paper
eight inches in length and four in width,
which he folds, and, sealing it at both
ends, folds it once more in the middle,
and then drops it in the bowl nearest
his desk. All follow in the order of
their rank as members of the college.
As each deposits his ballot he holds it in
his hand, and advancing to the foot OF
the altar, kneels and solemnly calls
the Deity to witness that he chooses
for Pontiff the person whose name
is written therein. On the vote
being finished the inspectors advance to
the bowls and taking out the ballots
unfold them and make a list OF the
vote. showing the number of ballots
cast for each candidate, To elect a
Pope it is necessary that the successful
candidate should receive not less than
two-thirds of the entire vote cast. Fail
ing in this the ballots are torn, thrown
into straw heap and burned, and the
straw being dampened, the thick smoke
that aScendS is signal to the outside
world of the progress of the conclave.
The incarceration of the ballots closes
the session for the day, and the con-
clave does not reasSemble until evening.
At the evening session an opportunity
is given to those cardinals representing
foreign powers to state whatever seri-
Gus objections may exist to any of the
candidates, and which, in the event Of
that candidates election as Pope, might
operate to the disadvantage of the
Vatican abroad. These objections are
duly considered. Twice in the present
century have the foreign cardinals sue
ceSSfully opposed the election Of lead
ing candidates. There are many modes
of conducting a papal election, but the
simplest aud most generally used is
that described. One of the oldest, by
which many Popes were chosen in the
early years of the church, was acclama-
ton. all the cardinals simultaneously
designating their choice. Compromising
candidates have several times been
taken by general agreement, whenever

One Maine Boy.

Hartland Letter in Phtsfeld (Ne.) AdUertiser.
The son of Mr.. Alvin Howes, of Pal
myra, is considered about the smartest
boy in this section. He is nine years
old and is master of Greenleaf's Com
plete Arithmetic, having interest, equa-
tion of payments, mensuration, square
root, cubic root, etc, at his tongues
end. He will perform calculations with
large numbers readily without slate or
pencil, and rarely, if ever, makes a mis-
take. With him a thing once learned
is never forgotten. He began to learn
geography when he was three years old
by hearing his brother reciting his les
sons TO his mother, and now it is next
to an impossibility to ask him ques-
ton in that study that he cannot read
lily answer. He has better knowledge
of physiology than most teachers pos
sess, and withal is quite politicians
being better posted on the events of the
day than many who go to the polls and
vote. He has not been drilled at home
to show off: he has only been assisted
when he called for help. He is a we'll
developed, healthy looking child Of
modest and pleasing manners.
