THE SHERMAN RELIGION.
a Sensation Touching the Administration
ofExtreme UnctlOn TO the General.

ofFxtreme UnctIOn TO the General.
lBy telegraph to the Dispateh.l
Nrw YoRK. February ia report pub
hshed in a morning paper rejecting on the
conduct OF members of General Sherman's
family IN calling in priest to administer
extreme unctlon has called forth great
many comments in reference TO the rel;
qious belief entertained by the General
and his family. There Is no doubt but
that the ceremony was performed thurs
dav at about IL o'clock in the forenoon.
The members of the family have
resented the article referred TO as an attack
upon them and their aged father, now 80
low. The article was TO the effect that the
General had been administered extreme
upction while in an unconscious state, IN
ferring. therefore, that it was without his
permission.
To-day Senator Sherman addressed the
following letter TO the newspaper publish
inc the Objectionable matter:
Gentlemen,-A paragraph IN your
paper this morning gives very erroneous
view of an incident in General Sherman
sick chamber which wounds the sensitive
feelings of his children now in deep dis
tress and which under the circumstances
| deem it proper 10 correct. Your reporter
intimates that advantage was taken OF my
temporary absence to introduce CathOic
priest INTO General Sherman's chamber TO
administer the rite OF extreme JUNCTION 10
the sick man in the nature OF a
claim that he was a Catholic. IL Is
well known that his family have been
reared bv their mother. a devoted Catho-
lie in her faith, and now cling to II. IL is
eoually well known that General sherman
and myself, as well as all my mothers chill;
dren, are by inheritance, education, and
conviction Christians, but not Catholics,
and this has been openly averred on All
proper occasions by General sherman.
But he is too good a Christian and too hu-
name a man to deny to his children
the consolation of their religion
He was insensible at the time and
apparently at the verge OF death
but if be had been well and IN the
full exercise of his faculties he would hO'
have denied 10 them the consolation OF the
PRAYERS and religious obseryances lot theli
father Of any class or denomination o.
hristians-priests or preachers CeTtalniy

quest Of the family have assented 10 anu

Almighty for the life here and hereattei
of INV brother, whether called prayer
or extreme unction, and whether
uttered by priest or by. preacher
or by any other good man who believed
what he spoke and had an honest taltn II

tBy telegraph 70 the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, February lS.-Admiral Por-
ter died suddenly at 8:lE o'clock this morn
ing at his residence, liza H street. Death
resulted from fatty degeneration of the
heart, which relentless disease asserted ITS
fatal clutch upon him at Newport, Il. L..
last summer, when, contrary to the per-
sistent advice of bis physician, he over
taxed his strength by taking violent exer-
else, and was stricken down with a compli-
ton of diseases, including congestion of
the lungs and dropsY. AS soon he could
be moved with safety he was brought TO
his home in Washington. and all the means
known 10 science and medicine were re-
sorted TO for his benefit. Despite these,
however, there were slight but unmlstaka-
bic symptoms of approaching dissolution.
Mental disabilities were added to the other
troubles. and the patient failed TO realize
the seriousness OF his condition. The
family were made aware weeks ago that
death was only question Of q short time,
and that the efforts of the physicians were
directed solely to a postponement Of the
inevitable and TO making his last hours as
comfortable and as free from pain as posi-
BILE.
