IN his abrupt way Sherman said some
good things. He was standing near bat
terry one day as his troops were Smelling
along the line previous to an advance, and
with his glass he was examining the enemy's
position. Seeing them getting up bat
terry at certain point, he turned to one
of his Captains and said: Look here do
you see that point on the right of the
woOd?"
Yes, General"
Put shell in there; yes, let them have
it. They are trying 10 start battery there
to sweep this poiut. Start 'em out of it, you
first"
Sherman himself went to sight the first
gun, and as he did so a sharpshooter sent a
bullet glanciug along the barrel close to his
cheek.
"Ha! close shaving, that. Well, let's pay
back tile compliment Fire" Bang went
the shell into the midst of the rebels.
Very good. very good,' said Sherman
with a grin. that kicked up dust, and
some heels, too, think; give them more of
'em with my compliments"
The rebel battery was compelled to with
draw.

sPARTAN sIMPIICITY.

Thoroughly transformations as a soldier,
Sherman set an example of Spartan sim
plicty while in the field, and one old wall
tent and two or three dilapidated fires
served for headquarters for himself and
staff. Thomas headquarters, on the con-
tTary, comprised most gorgeous outlay of
tents of all knds-wal tents, SiLley tents.
fly tents, ociagon tents, and all kinds of
tents, in fact, known to armies. Every Off
Ger and every servant was provided with
tent, and that belonging 10 the Adjutant-
General was a sort Of open rebellion against
all restrictory orders.
Sherman, who did not like the example
thus set by Thomls, never let slip an op-
portunity to pass a joke at the latter's eX-
pense.
1t was his constant delight to rein up his
horse in front of Thomas quarters and,
after surveying them critically, ask, Whose
quarters are these ?"
General Thomas General" would be
the invarable reply.
Yes, yes, | see-ThomastOwn, Thomas
vile, very pretty place, Indeed; seems to
be growing quite rapidly" and he would
chuckle audibly and ride away.

A GALATIANS DISCONTINUE.

On one occasion Sherman was dining out
with Howard. a very devout chaplain
present thought the occasion demanded an
unusually strong grace. He was in the
midst oft when Sherman, who saeat the
other end OF the table, unconscious of the
chaplain, was bitterly denouncing some one
and wound up by bringing his hand down
OIL the table with resounding crash, at the
same. time exclaiming: Hang the man!
Will he never stop?"
The chaplain, thinking the expression
meant for him, let fall his hands and
gazed at Sherm in open-mouthed aston
ishment. The latter took no: the slightest
heed of the incident IN spite of the sup
pressed litter that went round the table.
The chaplain did not regain his compos-
ure during the entire evening.

THREW STONES AT HIM.

During the progress of battle a man
almost dead with fear crouched under the
roots of an uprOoted tree. Sherman CHANGED
to- take shelter from a fierce fire near BY.
When a shell burst the fellow would writhe
and cry out: "Oh, Lord; if get out of
this I'll never he caught again. Oh, dear,
oh, dear; If | only get home once more,
but | know I'll be killed"
Sherman was so amused at the fellows
cowardice that he began throwing stones
at the tree, and as each one struck the
skulker would cry out: 'Oh, Lord; it's
dreadful. l know III be killed"
THAT'S hard firing, my man." exclaimed
the General.
''Hardl Why IT'S simply awful. / am
sure at least thirty shells have struck this
tree"
well. it's all over now; come out" The
trembling wretch crawled out, and when
he saw Sherman standing coolly looking at
him he darted away to his command, leav-
ing the General chuckling over his discom-
future,

WANItD TO INVADE ENGLAND.
one OF the most amusing anecdotes of the
dead General, however. is that of mis- inter-
view with the British Consul at Savannah.
The latter called at Sherman's Headquarters
and complained that the Federal soldiers
were removing cotton from warehouse
when 1t was protected by the English flag.
" have noticed great many such flags
protecting cotton in this city," replied Sher
man, and | have seized it all in the name
of my Government"
"Well, sir" said the consul, swelling
himself up with dignity and turning very
red In the face, u shall report this to my
hear of this, sir!"
"Ahl And who are you?"
Consul to her British Majesty, sirr'
"Oh, indeedi" RESPONDED the General.

COUNTRY PRoDUCE-(Jobbing Prices)-
Poultry receipts proved larger than was
generally anticipated, and the prophecy
made in this column few days ago that the
Christmas turkey would not be so costly as
the Thanksgiving one has proved true.
There was a large quantity of tainted stock
on sale and for this prices were nominal.
Choice stock was steady at our quotations.
Storage eggs are Shade weaker than they
we're at the beginning of the week. Cream
cry butter of high grade is no more than
steady, and all low grades, together with
country roll butter, are drug on the mar
ket. The unfavorable element of trade all
the week has been the miserable state of
the weather. Frosty, clear weather would
have been great advantage to trade.

BULLS MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The Grain Markets Very Dull, but Tending
Upward-strong Cables and Rumors OF
Coming Cold Snap the Features-Pro-
visions Up.
CHICAGO. Wheat displayed more
strength to-day. Cables were about steady
and firm at the start, with domestic mar
kets tending upward. and there was less
disposition TO sell. The liberal engagements
at New York yesterday, the rumors of the
advancing cold wave, and later the strong
and higher cables from the Continent,
started shorts to covering and developed
some investment buying on the theory that
1t had been going one way long enough.
Also, with a three days holiday coming:
with the uncertainties as to developments
during that time. and with good profits in
sight, shorts saw the wisdom OF covering
their sales, and proceeded to do so.
The calls last night were so close to the
market that almost the first thing this
morning they were passed and there was
considerable hustling to buy against them,
which was another help to firm prices. Late
Berlin cables were firm and showed an adj
vance Of marks IN wheat. Trade, as q
rule, was dull and OF quite a holiday char
acter. During the last hour the market
eased off some, with trade very dull. May
opened at $3.50; advanced TO 971Sc, and
closed at 9624c.
Corn was strong and higher. The pres
sure Of the long corn on the market seems
to be over for the present, and shorts were
more generally disposed to cover and take
in profits. There was also feeling on the
part OF specula tors that about all the break
which could be expected had taken place,
and that purchases for an up turn were in
order During the closing hour trade was
very slack, and prices reacted somewhat.
January opened at 4l1ac, sold up to 1896,
and closed at 41Ec.
Oats was quiet, firm and without feature.
The receipts of hogs were moderate, with
prices fairly well maintained, and the re-
cent decline induced increasing buying
orders with the result that the market was
firm during most of the day and somewhat
higher range of prices was reached.
The leading futures ranged as follows as cor
rected by Join NJ. Oakley Co., IS Sixth street,
members of the Chicago Board of Trade.
