an interesting auecdote about Gen. sherman, who
was present at the dinner Of the Iron and steel
. Institute at DcIm0nicos. THE English visitors''

the General spoke Of Queen Victoria. He said that
Americans would never forget that Her Majesty
bad been their friend in the civil war; and had used
her influence in opposition to the recognition Of
the south as a nation. Ills frank. OufspOken ex-
clamution, The Queen, God bless her touched
every heart. After the General bad spoken an
incident occurred illustrative Of the completes
eonciatiou Of the North and South. Mr. Calhoun,
President Of the Central Railway Of Georgia, and

Last week Mr. Carr Carpenter. of Buffnlo, n Y,
received $500 from Erie County n. T.. In pay
ment Of a loan Of S2iOOO0 made when the war do
manded tile money Of the County. For this he
has waited % years. and suffered from poverty
made almost unbearabe by disease contracted
during the war; which leaves him blind one day
and deaf parayzed the next When the war
broke out Carpenter wealthy, and loaned all
his fortune to Erie County TO promote recruiting
when money was scarce in the treasury. He Is
said to have furnished lO3 men at a cost to him Of
$4,000. With the RESI- Of his fortune he started =
line Of steamboats, on the Mississippi and carried
negro refugees to the Northern States. While thus
engaged he stricken with the fearful bone
break fever" which turned his skin completely
black At the close Of the war he fled his claim
: against the County and while the State forwarded
the money, il coniscated by some rascaly
County Supervisors who also stole the records
which were necessary for Carpenter to produce to
prove his claim. Lawsuits were brought without
avail. A short time ago one Of the Supervisors
when dying sent for Carpenter and told him where
the records were hidden. The County, seeing the
futility of further litigation took advantages OF
Carpenters ahject poverty to force him to compro-
mise for $4,000. OF this s. 200 goes 70 his attor-
neys. Carpenter is over 20 years Of age, and has
been living charity for years. as he is helpless
from disease.
