TALES OF THE DAY.
Sherman's Gallantry.

General, 1 never understood how it
was o came to gain the reputation of
the Great American Beau won't you
enlighten us?"
The question tickled him. proceeds Ed
waro S. Ellis in the Chautaucuan. The
scanned face dissolved into wrinkles. and.
after laughing in his silent way for a
minute or two, he said:
We'll, now, you Will be surprised when
l tell you that that whole thing was the
work of General Grant, but it's a fact.
Just after the war closed Grant asked me
TO take a ride with him IN Washington
behind a horse he had Just bought and of
which he was very fond. AS we pun
down the avenue / said, See here, Grant,
now that the piping. times of peace have
come; we must choose a fad. -,
What are you driving al, Sherman
he asked.
- mean to say that if we don't fix
upon something. the public will do it for
US. and it may not be pleasant.
"'Well. it is pretty generally known
that l am fond of horses; I suppose that
will answer for me. What have you in
mind?'
Il told him 1 la fixed upon nothing as
yet. but would try to do so. Meanwhile. 1
asked for his help. He said he would be
glad to serve me.
Now. what do you suppose Grant did?'
asked Sherman, with pretended indiSna-
ton. Why. he made straight for the
newspaper correspondents n told them
that / had formed the resolution to de-
vote the rest of my life to earning the
name of a gallant for all the young ladies
in the country. At the same time he init
mated to the newspaper men that he
would take il as a personal favor If they
would do what they could to spread the
news; it would doubtless be of assistance
to me. and he was sure 1 would appreciate
the kindness.
well. those correspondents didn't need
any urging. The whole thing was her
aided from one end of the country to the
other, my first knowledge coming from
the papers themselves. l saw through the
whole thing. though Grant tried to play
innocent All, he was a sly wag, but,
added Sherman. Il forgave him. and 1
find the work of trying TO live up to the
reputation he made for me the most de-
lightful pursuit of my life"

Sir Henry Irving's Dog.

The latest number of the London La
dies Kennel Journal has several stories
about famous men and their dogs. One
is to the effect that Sir Henry Irving had
some years ago a dog he called Midsum-
mer Nights Dream. He thought it was a
bull-te-rier. and made a present of it to
G. ". Childs. The animal was exhibited
in a Philadelphia exhibition. where it at
tracted considerable attention. This
reused the ire of the other exhibitors,
and they declared that Midsummer
Nights Dream was not a bull-terrier. but
a half-bred bulldog. One of them wrote
on a piece of paper. which was attached
to the dogs ennel Henry Irving may
know a great deal about Shakespeare but
he knows nothing about bull-terriers."
Clearly. as is pointed out, the opinion of
a great actor counts for nothing in the
matter of dog-hesh.

NO MODIFICATION OF THE
PEACE TERMS.

SPANS reply to the demands of the
United States is said to be on h way
to Washington. but it is coming very
slowly. At Washington it is not known
whether the reply will be an absolute or
conditional acceptance of the terms.
So grave and important a matter as
agreeing or disagreeing to terms of
peace hat dismember an empire can
hardly be expected to be concluded
without some delay. but it begins to
look somewhat as though Spain We're
trying to start a diplomatic fence over
the matter. This cannot be positively
asserted at this time, but there are
indications that way. Spain should not
be censured for this, for she is looking
III for her interests, and if she can by
hook or crook draw this government
into playing her favorite game, not she,
but the administration, will be to
blame
The terms on which this government
will agree to peace are clear and well
defined, and are incapable of misinter-
probation. Spain can accept or reject
them as she chooses, but h should not
be permitted to modify them in any
particular. If she is permitted TO mod
ify a phrase here and to change an
other there, she will continue to ask and
maneuver for notifications here and
changes there. There must be nothing
of this kind. To do anything other than
insist on the terms now asked would
be more or less OF a weakness. and
would subject the administration to
just censure.
If Spain wants more time, let her
have it, nothing will be lost by grant
ing it; but let there be no change in the
+arpoc of paace
