Thedeath of General Sherman has had
the effect of creating a demand for his
memoirs. The publishers tell me that
the demand Is something wholly unex-
pected, and yet they might have known
from past experience that the death of a
famous and great man is sure to arouse
such interest. Sherlnan's memoirs are
pronounced by literary critics, in some
respects, the most fascinating literature
of tho war.
In his style Sherman was unique and
original, just as he was in his action and
habits of thought. A distinguished
teacher Of Connecticut said recently that
he had advised his scholars to read
Grants memoirs and those of Sherman,
so that they might learn what a splendid
thing simplicity, lucidity and directness
were in a literary style. Sherman's
memoirs never had the sale that was e1-
pected of them, and in fact none Of the
r~ecollections published by the distin-
guished actor in the civil war aver
made much money, excepting Grants
Memoirs"
In his case, the extremely dramatic
and pitiful circumstances associated
with the writing of them did as much to
bring about the enol nous sale as did
Grants reputation as the great com
mander.-E. j. Edw ards in Philadel-

Secretary Proctor Will Mt Resign.
WASHINGTON, April lit is learned
on good authority hat Secretary Proctor
has no intention OF resignInS his office
Immediately. His return from the West
to Washington was caused by a personal
reason IN addition to his desire to see the
president before the latter started on mis-
western and southern tour. He will re-
sumo the discharge OF the duties of his
Office when lie returns to Washington; but
if Governor Page, during the adjourn
ment Of the Vermont legislature, which
does not reassemble until a year from
next autumn, should conclude TO appoint
Secretary Proctor 10 the senate to fill the
vacancy to be caused by Senator Ed
munds retirement, il is stated by the
same authority that the secretary will
accept the appointment. The action is
not likely to he taken until next fall, and
meantime Secretary Proctor will doubt
less continue to be a mem err of Presi-
dent 6srrison's cabinet.

DRAMATIC NOTES.

Not since 1855, according TO The Mirror,
have the deaths In the dramatic profession
been so numerous in the same length Of
time as they have been this year.
Tony Pastor recently celebrated in New
York the twenty-sixth anniversary Of his
theatrical career.
Justin McCarthy's son Is at the read Of
a Sunday subscription theater scheme in
London.
An opera entitled Elaine, - and founded
on Teanyson's famous poem, will succeed
"~Ivanhoe" at D'OyIy Carte's London the
ater. Mr.. Bernberg is its composer.
The friends Of William S. Gilbert and
Sir Arthur Sullivan now almost despair Of
healing the breach between them.
Mrs. Scott-SIddons will, it Is said, return
70 the stage next season, and bring with
her a new play.
There is a good deal Of talk In England
In favor Of the adjustment of the censor
ship Of the drama The system as it
stand has been most emphatically de
nOunced by managers and Others. although
the censor very seldom exercises his prerog-
alive Of suppression.
Mime. Bernhard will appear In New
York again In the fall.
Bronson Howard has received so far SsI.-
w IN royalties on shenandoah Al one
time Shenandoah" was being played in
New York, London and Chicago. with two
extra" companies on the road. giving him
royalties on five companies At once.
Mr. A. NJ Palmer's prophecy that the
day Of long runs Is over" Is hardly borne
out by facts. The Old Homestead" is
about TO close its fourth year in New York,
The County Fair" ended its third season
before II left, Blue Jeans" moved away
after five months only because no theater
could be obtained for It. Men and
Women" ran 24 nights, Ned Harrigan has
carried his Reilly and the 4OO' past the

floating i'm the water near his ship, and
when a Subsequent examination OF the
body disclosed documents aud n passport
bearing the name OF Carl Ruttiugcr, the

The son of Mr.. AL Tin Howes, of Pal
myra, is considered rbout the smartest
boy in this section. He is 9 years old
and is master Of Greenleafs Complete
Arithmetic, having interest, equation of
payments, mensuration, square root, cube
root, etc, at his tongues end. He will
perform calculations with large num-
bers readily without slate or pencil, and
rarely, if ever, make a mistake. With
him a thing once learned is never for
gotten. he began to learn geography
when he was 8 years old by hearing his
brother reciting his lessons to his mother,
and now it is e to an impossibility to
ask him a question in that study that he
cannot readily answer.
He has a better knowledge Of physiol-
ogy than most teachers possess, and
withal is quite a politician, 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 well developed, healthy
looking child Of modest and pleasing
manners. -Hartland Cor. Pittsfeld CMe.j
