HERO WORSHIP.
Schurz in His Autobiography Tells
How Sherman Was Applauded.

When he (Gen. Sherman) called
himself happy man" there was a
tone of just eXultation in his words.
He was, indeed, happy man. He
had won great renown as soldier
and an immense popularity all over
the Northern country. THIS he knew,
and he thoroughly relished 1t. All
sorts of societies and public organi-
cations had made him their honorary
member. and he appeared among them
as often as he could. Whenever he
entered a theatre. which ne did very
often, the orchestra would strike UP
Marching through Georgia; the
whole audience would rise and clap
their hands, sometimes even singing
the tune, and his rugged face would
fairly glow and beam with pleasure.
Every social circle greeted him as a
most welcome guest. and at receptions
and evening parties and other gath
erings the pretty girls would come
up and kiss him-and how he did
enjoy all this.-McClure's Magazine.
