SENATOR SHERMAN.


Mansfield, Senator Sherman's home, is situ-
ated on the highest point in Ohio 1t is Q
beautiful town Of about $1,000 people, with
streets crossing each other at right angles
and running out from public park filed with
old forest trees which lies in its center. The
town covers half dozen hills and the rich
farming country surrounding it is picturesque
and rolling. The best street Of Mansfield runs
from the park directly westward. 1t is lined
with green lawns and avenues OF maple trees
and about a mile from the park stands the
residence Of Senator Sherman. This is right in
the city, but it has twenty acres Of velvety
lawn about il and great pine. elm and chestnut
trees interlock their branches about the house
and make the semi-circular roadway which
leads up to it q wooded drive. The half moon
Of lawn which lies in front Of the house is,
judge, at least 200 feet deep, and Mansfield
people use this q sort of park and visitors
drive into the Senator'S yard round the house
and out again ad libitum. Back of the house
are orchards of various kinds and the pear
trees and peach trees are propped up lest their
branches be broken by the rich yield of the
present year. To the left of the house as you
60 in and some distance away is the new barn
which Senator Sherman said he was going to
build when he came home to Ohio this summer.

I asked him IL he had ever met Bismarck
He replied: 81 met him in 1867. II was at

greater part OF our conversation was az to the
war which had then just closed, and Bismarck
told me that he was glad to say that the sympa-
thies Of every man in Germany, from the king
in his palace to the peasant in his cottage, were
with the north in that struggle. Bismarck was
am and much heavier. His features were de-
