SHERMAN's LAST PORTRAIT.
A Talk With james III. Beard About
Great Mems Pictures.

New York, March 16.-TSpecial Cores
pondence. lit is Sherman to the life.
Sherman as he was in the last years, with
the furrowed and thoughtful brow, the
close-cropped snowy beard. His express
sion is intent and powerful. as might fit
the taking of the boldest chance in the
march to the sea, and yet no stronger
than his face would wear sometimes,
even in this very year, when conversation
touched point which fully reused him.
! saw the picture in the studio Of James
II. Beard. the veteran artist who had made
name before most of Us were born. He
knew Sherman well, had known him
since ante-hellum days. Those who were
acquainted with the great generals pecul-
iarities will realize that the artist must
have had strong claim or he would not
have been granted sitting. The manner
of granting it, too. was quite character
istic. -
It was in the fall of 1857 that Beard
wrote note to Sherman asking the favor
of a sitting. The general replied with a
courteous, but unmistakabie refusal
Beard was disappointed, although he had
not been very sanguine of obtaining the
desired favor. A few days later, as he sat
in his studio. the door was pushed open,
and in walked Sherman.
Beard, sald he, II haven't used you
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-03-22
fairly. You shall have sitting as soon
as You want it, and as many more as You

fairly. You shall have sitting as soon
as You want it, and as many more as you
need -
When the sitting began Beard was able
to realize more fully the sacrifice which
the general had made to friendship. He
was too restless to maintain the pose more
than minute or two, and then he would
shift, first one way and then the other.
and beg to be allowed the consolation Of .
cigar. When his nervousness would be-
come unbearable he would walk over and
note the artists progress. In his most
restless moments during q sitting, when
he had shifted his pose till it bore no re-
lation to the one in which he had been
placed, he could always be brought back
BY q word. At the sound of it he would
assume the correct position with military
precision.
He was always punctual in keeping his
appointments for sitting, the artist told
me, except in one instance when he was
fifteen minutes late. In that case he be-
gan to apologize before he had fairly got
the door Open He liked the portrait very
much when it was done. Ii has been ex-
hibited for few days in the Chamber of
Commerce but has not been shown else
where, except in the studio.
The portrait shows him in his uniform,
hut there are no other military insignia.
Sherman asked that they should be
omitted. He did not wish the sword or
the golden plumes to figure on the canvas.

HER own LONELINESS.

In NO country 10 the world has beauty received
greater homage and inspired more ardent enthust-
asm than In ancient Greece. Twas there espcc-
tally that beauty won It's most brilliant triunphs
There . beautiful woman was an object OF real
