 Who is Now in an Asylum
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The man who was arrested a few days ago at the White House, while eudeavoring to gain an audience with the President, has been adjudged insane by board of physicians. He gave his name as Thomas Henry Mercer Hogg, and wrote the following letter to MT. Harrison:

Aug. 30, l84S, the then rising young law
year led to the altar Miss Cecilia Stewart,
daughter of Jude Stewart, who came to
Mansfield from western Pennsylvania at
an early date, and was long judge of the
common pleas court. For a number of
years Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman resided in a
comfortable house, erected in 1s49, on what
was then called West Market street.
In 1855 the senator purchased the place
which has since been the home of himself
and family. 1t is situated on the same
street as his former residence, but the
thoroughfare is now known as Park
avenue west, and is the principal residence
street of the city.
The Sherman mansion is located nearly
a mile from the business center of the city,
upon an elevation. The approach is so
gradual that one can scarcely realize the
altitude until gazing to the north and east
from the residence the city lies spread be-
fore the eye
The house, which was thoroughly re-
paired few years ago, stands about 200
feet from the road, nearly in the center Of
a tract of several acres of ground beauti
fully shaded by trees of half century's
growth, and is approached by a winding
driveway. All that art can suggest in the
way of landscape gardening has been done,
and the walks, drives and flower beds are
laid out with a precision which suggests
that the senator has made practical use of
the civil engineering which he learned as
young man when employed on the Ohio
board of public works Numerous rustic

place. and among the treasures OF the
library are hundreds of letters from the
general to the senator, written when both
occupied high official station. In this
room, during the past twenty-five years,
have been held many political consultations
of great moment.
But politicians and interviewers are not
the only visitors. The senator and Mrs.
Sherman, as well as Miss Sherman, have
many callers from among the townspeople.
Owing to their absence from Mansfield so
much of the time, the intimates OF the
family are necessarily from the ranks OF
the older citizens. Mrs. Sherman enter
tains gracefully, and accommodating years
only seem to render her more pleasant and
agreeable, though she has always been
noted for her amiability and happy dispo-
sition. Not only do they receive social
calls, but several times each week they
may be seen riding about the city visiting
oldtime friends. While they do not enter
tain upon a large scale, many Of their
neighbors enjoy their hospitality in quiet
and transformations manner. Sometimes
of an evening two or three gentleman drop
in for an hours chat, or perchance for
game at cards, as the senator enjoys
rubber at whist and plays we'll BE is also
sometimes induced to take hand at cro-
quet with the younger people, but does not
claim to be an expert.
Mrs. Sherman is of a decidedly domestic
turn, and understands the details OF house
keeping perfectly, giving personal super
vision to the gathering, canning, preserV-
ing and picking of the fruits and vegeta-
bles which are produced in the gardens
and on the farm, and below stairs" IT -

T. Sherman spoke briefly to the veterans
who called TO pay their respects a few
years ago upon the occasion of his last visit

In this spacious home Senator Sherman
and his family spend the summer months,
enjoying TO the utmost the rest and quiet
which cannot be had in the national cap
ital The social life OF the Shermsns is
most delightful. OF the immediate fam
lily there are the senator, Mrs. Sherman
and their adopted daughter, Miss Mary
Sherman. In addition nephew, Mr.. Hoyt
NcCombs, and his wife are included in the
household, and the senator's private score

him. There are generally guests st the
house. especially Young friends of Miss
Sherman. Nothing pretentious marks the

II has been stated that the last horse
that shifted the powder of the great re-
bellion died short time ago, but George
Mortimer. a farmer, who resides near
Arlington, Va, says he can bring relia-
bic neighbors to prove that the old bay
horse which he owns and every two
weeks drives into town not only followed
the Union army for some time over tine
hills and through the valleys of Vir-
ginia, but was captured and branded by
the COnfederates and remained in their
possession until the battle of Berkeley
Springs was fought, when the involun-
tary renegade was recaptured by the
northern boys
Then the four footed warrior went
through the remainder of the struggle
with the stamp Of two armies on his
side. His owner states that when he
was purchased in 1861 he was 10 years
old. so that forty summers and forty
winters have passed over his now tooth

puted to be 81 years old, but his life has
been only an ordinary one, and in per-

A Hard Working Emperor.

Those born to the purple have as many
trials as most of their subjects. The Chi
nese emperor, for example, follows a dull
and hard working routine. Winter and
summer he rises at a. m, and after some
light refreshment goes to the palace tenn
pie for prayer and meditation. He then
reads dispatches till breakfast time. at Z
O'Clock, and later works with his chief
ministers till IL o'clock, when he either
walks in the gardens or spends short
time with his wives. This is his only
period of recreation, for when dinner has
been dispatched, about 8 in the afternoon,
he sets hard at work again at public bust
ness until he retires to rest at sunset.
