1'he Committee Wait Upon the bishop.
The committee appointed at the
mass meeting held at st. Paufs Cath
olic Church last Sunday evening to
wait upon Bishop Curtis In regard to
the disposition OF the fund raised at
the bazaar, attended to their duty last
evening. Bishop Curtis fecelyed them
Bordially, and the committee stated
that the people of st. Pauls we're
hinder the impression that the money
obtained by the bazaar was to be di-
sided into three paits-one.third to go
TO Ireland, one-third to st. Josophs
Church, and one-lhird to st. Patricks
and other churches
They were opposed to giving the
money TO st. Joseph's Church, as there
hre other churches which need II much
worse. They also protested against
the parade held last Wednt sday night,
and said they considered il an insult
10 Father Berningham.
The bishop regretted that the affair
had occurred. l'he first thing he knew
Of the parade OF the Reilly Lyceum,
he said, was when tho Rev. Father Ber-
mingham notified him OF 1t the even
Ing 1t was to take place. Then he put
IN immediate stop to the parade, and
Sent word to the Rev. Father Flynn
hOt to allow tho lyoeum TO go out to
bhat portion of the town in which the
Rev. Father Birmingham lived, or
there would certainly be a dangerous
Conflict.
He regretted the bad feelings that
have been engendered by tho contest.
and said that such contest would
hove- take place again, with his per-
mission. while he lived.
He promised the committee that but
el,000 Of the receipts should be sent

church, and that the largest portion
would be appropriated to st, Patrick's
Church. Whatever may remain will

ahe Man General sherman Captured.


The most interesting of the warriors
attending General Sherman's funeral
to-day will be General Joseph E.
Johnston who. In accordance with a
promise mutually made between him
self and Sherman, will come on from
Washington and will serve as one OF
tho pall-bearers. Some years ago
General Sherman and General john
ston agreed that the survivor OF them
would, II health permitted, attend the
funeral OF the other. The friendship
between these two great adversaries
on the field became after the war was
closed an Intimacy which was touching
In It's tenderness.
When General Johnston was mem
Der OF the House of Representatives
Sherman used to go frequently to tho
Capitol and sit with Johnston for an
hour or two during session OF Con-
grcss. And they visited one another
at their homes frequently. Sherman's
admiration of Johnston as a soldier
was very great. He regarded him us
the wlsest soldier on the Confederate
side, because he knew perfectly well
from Johnston's tactics in Georgia
that the great Confederate soldier was
convinced that the South was beaten
after vicksburg fell, and Lee was
beaten at Gettysburg.
Johnston felt, In the fall OF '6S, that
no military man could doubt what the
end was TO be, and no did not hesitate
to express his opinion, although this
made him extremely unpopular and
Brought upon him the emnity OF Presi-
dent Davis.
General Johnston told me some years
ago that Sherman told him, while they
were chatting over memories of the
hat ln.
fectly we'll that Johnston was lodging
fight, because he knew that even II
he had a temporary victory it would
be valuelcss to the South, because it
could not alter the final result. And
during all OF the Atlanta campaign
and Sherman's subsequent chasing OF
him through North Carolina, he avoid
ed giving or receiving battle, because
he wanted TO avert useless sacrifice of
life.
III Sherman's opinion, tho tactics
Johnston displayed In avoiding battle
and yet constantly threatening Sher-
mans army was one Of the best speci-
mems of military workmanship which
occurred during the entire war-tak-
In view Johnston's real purpose, which
WIS to spare life, 1t was Sherman's
opinion also that Johnston might have
been more dangerous commander
than Lee was and sherman always felt
that one Of tho severest calamities
tho South had was the withdrawal of
Johnston from the field for year on
account of dangerous wounds re-
ceived in the Peninsula campaign.
where he commanded the Confederate
Army,
General Johnston expected that Sher-
man would outllve him, as the Union
commander was ten years his junior.
He has had abundant proof of the
affection Of sherman, for there have
been times of late years when Johnston
needed friendship, and when Sherman
used his influence to make his declining

he left that body severely alone and in re-
turn the Republican members Of the
Legislature did not poster him with re
quests for advice. While this may all be
true. that the editor Of the Sun Is so
densely ignorant as be affects to be of the
trades and deals which we're made to
bring about Warren's nomination is quite
beyond belief As a thoroughly alive
newspaper nan be should have been
aware Of this deal with the Carbon dele

some suspicious of the influences which
were brought to bear upon the Uinta
delegation to bring about in them such
a sudden aud radical change OF heart.

But we 10 not for a moment believe
that the editor OF the Sun vas so com

well aware OF how the job was set MP

reasons sets up a general denial whose

planned IN THE LEADER logically answers
this question. As to the deal between
Warren and the Carbon county delegation,
it is true, every word OF it, and was well
known to nearly if not quite all the mem-
bers on the floor Of the house. The Car
bon county men themselves never sought
to conceal the fact, and did not attempt
to hide their disgust when their bill, so
dearly bought, was held over their heads
as a club to force the passage of the CAPT

Thackeray composed and wrote his
novels on long note paper in the most
feminine handwriting. The manuscript
he frequently took down to his publisher
in the crown of his hat, stopping en- route
at the Garrick club to take lunch. His
habit Of composition was methodical.
When writing philip on His Way
Through the World" he told, with serio-
comic ea~rnestness, of the necessity he
was under of spinning out more chapters
because it was necessary to put another
story on his house at Kensington Gar
dens, and Philip must do the job.
On that occasion he said, 'Do you
know that both Dickens and myself are
imposing on the public, for we have
worked out our own views very much,
and dig out more dross thar ORE" Thack-
cray was too sensitive to make a good
lecturer or take pleasure in appearing
personally before the public, as Dickens
did. He used to say: Hang this lectur-
ing; it Is the most unsatisfactory thing
to me you can imagine. If my audience
does not applaud me l feel mortified be-
cause l have failed to interest them. If
they applaud me, 1 feel like a successful
mountebanki it is equally uncomfortable
both ways."-Sheffield Telegraph.
