For years past-ever since the close
Of the late civil war, in fact, i have
asked every great general Of both the
northern and southern armies whom
have met, to jot down for me in his own
words what he considered the funniest
aud also the saddest incident that had
come under his observation arising from
our great conflict. This request was
kindly complied with, and II was thus
that the appended symposium was
obtained, the last Of the contributions
comprising It having been received from
the late Gen. Sherman only q lew
months before his death. Doubtless
some OF these anecdotes may have been
related by their present narrators TO
other correspondents prior to their
publication here, and thus may have
been previously published, but so far as
| know this is their first appearance IN
print, as II most certainly Is In their
present attractive form over the sigma
lures of the distinguished gentlemen
now telling them.

think the funniest inciden, observed
during the civil war were some OF those
that occurred among the colored people
during my march from "Ailanta 10 the
sea-" Many OF the negroes hailed the
coming OF the Yankees, bringing the
freedom Of the colored people with
them, as certain indication of the
immediate approach Of the judgment
day and the end OF the world. Conse-
quently there was great religious excite
ment among the darkies, and by many
OF their preachers ''protracted" or
revival" meetings were held. The
incidents that occurred at some OF these
meetings beggar description. remem-
Der on one occasion the preacher tried
his utmost to induce one big buck negro
to come 20 the "moumer's bench" but
without avail. AT length losing all
patience he exclaimed: "By de
holy apostle de wohd oh de Lohd
shall done sinite dat cullud man." and
suiting the action 10 the word he ielled
the buck senseless to the ground by
tremendous blow on the head, delivered
with a ponderous volume OF the
Scriptures. w. +. SHERMAN.

Many OF the most beautiful and paihe-
tic incidents OF the war occurred after Ii
was ali over. AT a holel in Washington
in 1905, a gentleman whose face could
moi remember exactly, though i seemed
strangely familiar, intro iueed himself
and asked permission TO present me to
his mother, a singuarly beautiful old
lady OF queenly and dignihied bearing,
TO whom he said: Moher, let me
present to you Gen. X. /. Lee, OF the
iate confederate army, whose sober
thrust paye me this scar on my right

lady threw her arms afound my neck
and wept on my shoulder In that
