Worrying Happiness. The bishop of Manchester, speaking at a meeting at Church House, Westminster, said the secret of happiness was to have a sufficient multitude of worries. The man who had only one worry, a blind that would not be pulled up straight by the Servant, or a coal scuttle the bottom of which was always coming out, found his way to the lunatic asylum. But the man who had no time to dwell upon his worries because he had to go from one to another, and back again and round and round like a squirrel in a.cage, could be a perfectly happy man.

They Put Aside Presidency

Sherrnan and Sheridan Both Declared They Would Not Accept the Nomination, Not Being Fitted for the High Office. General Sheridan and General Sherman were of the same opinion respecting the expediency’ of electing to the presidency a man who had made his career in the army. Sherman expressed his opposition forcibly and publicly. In the latter part of President Arthur’s administration there was the nomination of General Sherman for the presidency in 1884. At first Sherman paid little heed to it, but when his brother John, assured him that the movement was gaining head, he wrote the now historic letter in which he intimated that even if elected he would not accept the office of president. Sherman never concealed bls opinion that Grant, for whom he bore the most devoted friendship and affection, would acted with greater wisdom had he declined to permit any organization to be effected for his nomination for the presidency. In Sherman’s view, to be general of the army was for a military man a greater distinction than to be president of the United States. Some of. Sheridan’s friends said to him after it was known that Sherman had put his foot upon any movement having his nomination for the presidnecy in view: “General, they are beginning to talk some of you as a presidential candidate.’ “Sheridan laughed and made no other comment than, “Oh, 1 guess not.” “But they are, general,” his friends Insisted. "Who is?” “Well, some Republicans up in New York state. They say that if you are nominated for president you will sweep the country, and get as big a majority as Grant did in 1868.” “Well, they had better look out,” Sheridan replied. “I know what I am fit for. I don’t want the presidency and wouldn’t take it.” Neverthcles, in spite of Sheridan’s statement, there was begun an organization which had his nomination for the presidency in view. The Republican leaders wanted comeJ man of universal popularity, for it was known that there was grave danger of factional disturbance in case either General Arthur or James G. Blaine were nominated. A curious and unexpected incident, however, put an end to the Sheridan movement. A little conference of his friends took place in New York city. In the midst of it one Republican, who was a most enthusiastic Sheridan admirer, said: “It wouldn’t do; you can’t do it.” “Why not? Why not?” broke forth a chorus. “We’ll nominate ‘Little Phil’ in spite of himself.” “Well,” said the friend, “the difficulty is just here: There has always been grave doubts whether Sheridan was actually born in Albany, or whether he was brought there by his parents

Grant’s Opinion of Sheridan

He Considered Him, as a Fighting J Commander, an Extraordinary Combination of Great Dar- "' ing and dautlon. John Russell Young, the distinguished Civil war and Franco-Russian war correspondent and newspaper editor, who accompanied General Grant In his tour of the world, was chatting with some friends at his hotel in Washington shortly after President McKinley, in 1897, had made him librarian of the new Congressional library, when some reference was made by one of the party* to General Grant, and especially to Grant’s very high regard for General Sheridan, both as a soldier and as a man. ‘‘Yes, I know,” said Mr. Young, “in what high regard General Grant held Sheridan, for I often heard Grant say that he was sure that Sheridan had no superior, living or dead, as the* commander of an army. “I remember, on one occasion, Grant met several Americans one evening after a reception, and in the course of conversation he was asked what he thought Sheridan would have done had he been in command at Gettysburg instead of General Meade. General Grant replied practically in these words: “ ‘There should be very little or no criticism of the manner in which Meade fought the battle of Gettysburg. In a three days’ battle there are always sure |o be some mistakes. Whatever these may have been upon our side, Meade speedily rectified them. “ ‘But you have asked me what Sheridan would have done had he been there. Sheridan, as a fighting general, was an extraordinary combination of great daring and great caution. His judgments were intuitive. He believed in very swift action and in taking great risks, if the chances were in his favor. He had no patience with those critics w*ho spoke of a battle as a

when an Infant only two weeks old. Sheridan himself has always claimed Albany for his birthplace, but there doesn’t seem to be any authentic record showing that he was actually born there. “His parents came from Ireland in 1831 by emigrant ship. They went to Albany, where they had friends. They had with them an infant, and that infant was Phil Sheridan. Just as sure as the attempt is made to nominate him for the presidency, just as certainly the claim will be made that he is ineligible "because he is not native born. He would be elected hands down, if he were nominated, but the chances are that the convention would not nominate a candidate for the presidency about whose constitutional eligibility there is the slightest doubt.” “They nominated Arthur for vicepresident, although it was said of him that he was born in Canada, just over the Vermont line,” a member of the conference declared. “Yes, but it took a search of the records and an actual measurement from the parsonage in which Arthur was born to the international boundary line to demonstrate that he had missed ineligibility by only a little over a mile. But you can’t find any record of the emigrant ship upon which Sheridan’s parents came to America, although you might get some " record that would identify him. No, it won’t do to make him a candidate.” When Sheridan was inf ormed of this discussion,: he simply said: “They needn’t bother themselves

How He Planned to po South

General Sherman Was a Little Uncertain About George H. Thomas’ Position When War Broke Out, but Was Soon Reassured. A few years before his death Gen. W. T. Sherman was asked: “General, you knew Gen. George H. Thomas well, didn’t you?” “Knew him well?” was the reply. “I should say I did. We were in the same class and very intimate at West Point, and we saw a good deal of each other after we had been graduated. 1 came to know him at West Point as one of the noblest characters that I have .ever met. He was absolutely truthful. He was the soul of honor. He planted his feet slowly, but when he did plant they were planted surely upon principle. We drifted apart, however, about 1848, or right after the Mexican war, although we kept track of one another. I say all this to explain what I am leading up to. “I think it was in June, 1861 —anyway, I know that hot weather had come in that year—when I happened to call at the White House one day, having some business with President Lincoln. “I don’t remember now what it was

drawn battle. He w r as of the opinion that every battle was a victory to one side or the other, although the advantage may have been slight. Now, his temperament, his understanding of warfare and his methods would, I believe, have persuaded Sheridan, had he been in command at Gettysburg, that there was only one thing to do after Lee began to retreat, and that was to follow Lee so swiftly that he would be unable to reform his lines. I have sometimes thought that if Sheridan had been there there wouldn’t have been much of Lee’s army left after Gettysburg was fought. However, I do not say this in the way of any criticism of General Meade.’ “Then,”? continued Mr. Young, “one of those present suggested to General Grant that Meade’s army was probably exhausted by three days’ fighting, and it might have been perilous to put the army in pursuit of Lee. “For a moment or two General Grant was silent, and then he said: “ ‘lf Sheridan had an army of not more than 20,000 men, every man in that army being a soldier trained under Sheridan, as -much like Sheridan as it is possible for private soldiers to be like a commander to whom they are devoted, then I am certain that Sheridan, with such an army, could defeat any army in the world. I don’t know how I can better express my opinion of General Sheridan as a soldier, so that I will say again, an army of 20,000 men, trained under Sheridan so that each man was as nearly like him as possible, and commanded by Sheridan, would, I am sure, be the match of any army in the world. He would have had an army of that kind had he been at Gettysburg. You remember how, under him, and with a rather small army at his command, the Shenandoah valley was completely cleared of Confederate soldiers and remained in our hands until the close of the war,’ ” (Copyright, mi. by E.

about my eligibility; I am Ineligible simply because I don’t want it and wan’t take it." So both Sherman and Sheridan turned aside from the temptations of a presidential nomination, and they are believed to be the only persons in the entire history of the United States who have done this.

Shiraz, now seething with angry an-ti-British passions, sleeps in the heart of one of the four Persian paradises—fit birthplace of Hafiz and Sadi. This ancient capital of Persia, although lying in a valley, is yet as high above the sea as Ben Nevis itself. Outside of the City of Passion are Edens of flowers and rest. The narcissus spreads itself like a white carpet over the sunny slopes. “All our party,” writes a traveler, “pushed into this rich parterre up to the horses’ girths to enjoy the fragrance as much as possible.” The only way to banish the all-embracing narcissus is to sow the ground with cotton, rice or wheat. Let the ground lie fallow, and along comes the beautiful white tyrant from the “Isle of Flowers.” The Ocean Snored All Night. A resident of Nahant tells this one of a new servant his wife took down from Boston. “Did you sleep well, Mary?” the girl was asked the following morning. “Sure, 1 did not, ma’am,” was the reply; “the snorin’ of the ocean kept me awake all night.*’

that called me to the White House, but I do remember that the president told me that he was going on that day or the next to send several nominations to the senate for brigadier general. He asked me to look over the list. I glanced at the names rapidly, and saw that they were all good names. But it occurred to me that the president had overlooked one army officer, and I ventured to say to him: “‘Mr. President, I don’t see the name of Col. Georgej H. Thomas here.’ “ T don’t know much about Thomas,’ said Lincoln. ‘Would he make a good general?’ “ ‘None better,’ I said, ‘and if you want any guarantee for him, I’ll give it.’ “ ‘Well, Sherman, Mr. Lincoln replied, ‘if you say so, it must be so, and I’ll send his name in soon.* “A little later, as I was on my way up to the capltol to see my brother, John Sherman, it suddenly flashed over me that I had not seen Thomas for some 13 years, that he .was a Virginian by birth, and that possibly he might take the same view that Lee had in April, when he resigned his commision as lieutenant coolnel in the Second cavalry, with which Thomas had been stationed since 1855, to go with the Confederacy. It was a startling thought in view of the fact that I had just guaranteed Thomas to the president. I worried over the situation for awhile, and then I said to myself: ‘Well, I know what he was, and I will find out what he is. My own intuition tells me that he says with the Union, but I will find out.’ “I learned that Thomas Was with hi® regiment in Pennsylvania, not so very far north of Baltimore, and I hastened there as soon as railroad train and horse would carry me. When I reached the regiment and was shown to the colonel’s headquarters, I found nobody there but an orderly. He told me that Colonel Thomas had gone out a little ways on horseback, but thought he would be back speedily. "By any by I saw him coming and I went out in front of the tent to greet him. He knew m® instantly, and called out: ’“Hello, Billy!’ “ ‘Hello, Tom,’ I replied. We always called him Tom. “ ‘Have you come out to see me?* he asked. “ ‘Yas,’ I said, ‘I have some important nfrws for you.’ “He dismounted and we Sat down together. ‘Tom,’ I said, T have come to tell you that the president has told me that he will nominate you for brigadier general.’ "He showed his joy, more by the expresion of his countenance than by any words. He simply said: ‘Billy, you couldn’t have brought me any more agreeable news.’ “ ‘But,’ said I, ‘Tom, I have com® to find out exactly where you stand.’ “ ‘What do you mean, Billy?’ he asked. “ ‘Well, you know that Lee has gone over to the other side. You are both from Virginia.’ “ ‘Oh, that’s what you mean, is it?* said Tom. 'Well, TH tell you, Billy— I’m going south.’ “ ‘You are going south?’ I said. ” ‘Yes, Billy,’ he said, 'I am going south, but I am going at the head of my boys, and I am never going to turn my face the ether way until it’s all over.’ “And he never did,” said Sherman.

WHERE THEY DRAW THE LINE Naturally Men Disapprove of Extravagance When Their Own Purse Is Concerned. Mrs. William B. Leeds, who took Mrs. George Keppel’s house in London for the coronation season, came from New York with 40 huge trunks, all the same size, and all mounted with shining brass, all claret-colored, and all as lustrous as the body of a motor car. Mrs. Leeds, as her 40 trunks imply, dresses very beautifully. She spends a large amount on her wardrobe, and discussing the fact that womans dress is so much more expensive and so much less durable than man’s, she once said: women dress foolishly, and we will continue* to do so till men disapprove; but—" she smiled on the men at the table —“no man in the world ever disapproved of dress extravagance in a woman unless she happened to be his wife.”—Detroit Free Press.
