Sherman once declined an offer of $10,000 a year to contribute regularly to a Grand Array paper. Daring the past year the Department of Indiana made no gain in posts, the gain in membership being only eight. The present membership is 15,173.,, Captain Charles H. Manley, who served in Co. A, 1st Michigan, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, who lost an arm at Gettys­ burg, has been appointed Commandant of the Michigan Soldiers' Home. Capt. Warner E. Walker, Co. D, 4th Mich., also of Ann Arbor, has been appointed adjutant of the Home. It is a remarkable fact that the three greatest generals of the rebellion, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan were bora within a radius of 100 miles in the southern part of Ohio. March 13,1862, army corps were or­ ganised in the army of the Potomac and Gens. McDowell, Sumner, Hdmtzdman Keyes and Banks assigned aa com manders, A project is on foot in New York among the intimate friends of the late Gen Sherman to raise a fund of f100,000 to provide for the younger members of the General's family, who have been left by his death in somewhat straitened circum­ stances. It is understood that the fund is to go exclusively to the two unmarried daughters, as this is the only condition upon which the members of the General's family will accept the gift. It is thought that the amount will shortly be raised, as a number of wealthy friends of Gen. Sherman, outside of New York, have expressed a desire to contribute to the fund. •arriving Army Generals The death of Gen. Sherman renews interest in the diminishing list of those still living who held high rank in the war for the Union. Of army commanders there are Gen. Rosecrans, and Gen. Buell, Army of the Cumbrrland; Gen. Scofleld, Army of the Ohio; Gen. Butler, Army of the James; Gen. Pope, Army of Virginia; Gen. John G. Parke, Army of the Poto­ mac; Gen. Banks, the Army of the Gulf and in the Shenandoah; Gen. Howard, the Army of the Tennessee, and Gen. Slocum, the Army of Georgia. Of these Gen. Scofield is in command of the army, Gen. Rosecrans is Register of the treas­ ury, Gen. Buell resides in Kentucky, Gen. Pope is on the retired list and lives in St. Louis, Gen. Parke is on the retired list hale and hearty. He commanded the Army of the Potomac temporarily and the Ninth Corps, both at the East and the West. Cren. Banks is a representative in Congress, Gen. Howard is stationed in New York,Jkgd Gen. Slocum resides in -M4a Brooklyn.^ inati Gazette.

The Board of Managers of theNational Homes for disabled Volunteer Soldiers met at the war department in Washing- too on Fiiday, April 24. There were pres nt G^n. Franklin, President; Gen. McM«hon. Secretary; Gen. Black, Col. Mitchel, Maj. Morril, Gen. Pearson, Gen Barnett, and Maj. Bonebrake. The first business was the election of officers for the year, and the following were chosen: Pres., Gen. W. B. Franklin; First V. P., Gen. W. J. Sewell; Second V. P., Gen. John C. Black; Secretary, Gen. W. T. McMahon. Gen. Black and Majs. Morrill and Bonebrake were appointed a com­ mittee to audit accounts. Several anecdotes have been told since the death of Gen. Joe Johnston regard­ ing his indifference to danger in battle, but he had his weaknesses like all other persons. He said this of himself: "I am the most timid man in the world, and dreadfully afraid of a kerosene lamp. The other day a servant put one in my room. I was but half dressed, and I hurried out as fast as I could run. I knew it was going to burst. Then think of it! The very" next night some kind of a patent kerosene lamp was sent me as a present, and the donor lit it, explaining to me the method of working it. Such was my nervousness that I never knew he was talking to me. Later, after some­ body had extinguished the lamp, I tried to reason out to myself what a poltroon I was. We get hardened in time, but I assure you nothing could ever induce me to light or extinguish a kerosene lamp. * * * * An enemy armed with kero­ sene lamps would drive me off the field. I should be panic personified." "Regular Picniea." The Nashville .American says editori­ ally : I renitmber that in our regiment it was commonly said, "Give us an open field and we have a fighting chance, if the Federals outnumber us three to one; we have a fair chance if they are two to one, and it we are man to man we have a reg­ ular picnic." We should really like to know where the editor of the American found these "regular picnics." It could not have been near Nashville. At Shiloh the rebels had 45,000 to Grant's 33,000, and if there was anything like picnic on the banks of the Tennessee for those two days we shall beg to be exewed fram at­ tending any more picnics. At Stone River the two armies were as nearly equal in numbers as armies ever get to be on the battlefield, and the only picnic there for four days was for the Grim Reaper with the scythe and the hour-glass. At Chickamauga the rebels had about 80,000 men to 65,000 in the Army of the Cumberland, and God spare this land from any mpre such picnics. The official reports of the rebel regimental, brigade, division and corps commanders show that from 25 to 60 per cent of the men whom they took into battle were killed or wounded in those two days of awful fighting.--Nat. Tribune. The Grant Monument Ground was broken on Monday, April 27th, at Riverside Park, New York city, for the Grant monument. Troops were present from the forts around New York; and the U. S. steamer Yantic fired an appropriate salute from the river in front of the tomb. Department Commander of the G. A. R. of New York, Charles H Freeman, and his staff had charge of the entire ceremony. The Grand Army Posts of New York city, Brooklyn and several from points outside the city were present. The following was the order of exercises: Overture by the United States band; prayer by the Rev. Clark Wright; "The Star Spangled Banner," sung by achorus under the direction of S. G. Pratt (W. H. Lawton/the tenor, sung the solo); intro- ductory# remarks, by Department com­ mander Freeman; oration by Gen. Horace Porter; Song, "America" by the chorus, during which the ground was broken by the Department Commander, G. A. R., salutes fired by the Yantic and by the battery of United States artillery. Doxology by the chorus and audience. In the evening the annual banquet of the Grant Birthday-Dinner Association was held at Delmonico's. Joseph H. Choate presided, and Hon. William M. Evarts responded to the toast, "Gen. Grant." Informal speeches were made by Senator Hiseock and a number of veterans of the late war, both Union and Confederate. Gen. Howard; Admiral Braine, and Gen. Floyd Clarkson, Past Department Commander of the Grand Army of New York; were present. The New York Hernia, and other sol­ dier-hating papers which follow its lead are loud in their wails of distress because the Government has withdrawn from the favored National banks some $60,000,- 000 which Cleveland's Administration piled up there, and have distributed it to the people to whom it belonged, in the shape of pensions, refunded direct taxes, etc. No act of Mr. Cleveland's Adminis­ tration was more culpable than this, He took money which belonged to the peo­ ple, and to the people alone, and gave it free of interest, to National bank pets, to lend out to the people and get interest Upon it. Tf the banks got an average of 6 per cent upon this vast sum, and those who are familiar with National bank practices feel assured that they did not make less, they squeezed out of the people Of the United States the enormous sum 1.1,600,000 a year for interest on their own* 'money. This would have been enough to pay the pensions of over 37,- 000 men at f8 a month! The Herald absurdly claims that the withdrawl of this money has a tendency to bring about stringency and precipitate a panici. Nothing could be more preposterous*,; The panic threatened last fall was diW tinctly averted by the fact that the . $ money was taken out of the clutches of ft i few, and was distributed among the \ many. It was taken from where it did not belong, and put where it did belong, C| and the direct result was the easing up , , of the financial situation, the restoration fj of confidence, and the general resumption of prosperity. The wails the Herald , < are the groan? of money-leeches who were frustrated in their schemes to fattea ' i 2 on the troubles of the people.--National • "j Tribune. Depew's Eulogy of Ihemaa. At a meeting of the Union League Club in New York, the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, its President, spoke thus of Gen* eral Sherman: He was the one man of the distinguished; statesmen and soldiers produced by ou!'t civil war who had genius--the genius of . of originality. It nearly destroyed hia career at one time, while it made it at another. He was pronounced a vision, ary enthusiast, when he said it would ! fake 200,000 men to hold the border State*, and some went so far as officially to pronounce him a lunatic. When be ^ grasped the real weakness of the Confed- '4, eracy and marched from Atlanta to the , --A sea, he became a hero. Nearly all grea& Z men hedge themselves abont with stage k( dignity, and are always posing for effect, ^ but Sherman was the one eminent mat .*- who could be simply Sherman, and no* ' " detract anything from his reputation or dignity. One story which General Sheiv / " man told me, gives the inside history of 45 the famous march to the sea. Shermaa " had been importuning General Grant* s President Lincoln and the War Depart. Jj| ment every day for permission to cut loose from his base of supplies and march through the country from Atlanta to t ha. 1 • coast. Stanton thought he was foolish. / ; Lincoln was afraid he'd lose his army^ and while General Grant in the maia V agreed with the plan there were staff in- fluences around him that were hostile to its execution. One day Sherman received ' "t a telegram from Lincoln saying that ht • ' might use his discretion. He instantly "V; ordered one of his staff to take a detach- ment and tear down the wires for fifty ' i miles between Atlanta and Washington. * ^ ̂ This circumstance he never told publicly, I but he said, that when General Grant's book was published he was interested in a statement it contained to the effect . '4 that General Rawlins went to Washing*. .- ton to countermand the order permitting 4 | Sherman to march to the sea, but ba . <' found that "the rebels had cut the wires." i , V v£i , - "£{1 't-'i •••ni Sherman's Kelatioas 'With His Xea» A gentleman of this city who, during the war. commanded a brigade under Generals Grant, Sherman and Thoma% and knew them all personally, mentioni " a striking point of difference in their re* lations to the armies they commanded "I have seen Grant," says this gentlemaaT ' "ride from rear no front of a moving column, or from right to left of the army ^ receiving salutes all the time, but making; none in retyni. He was never cheered and never a word passed between hita and the lines. He always passed ab- ' sorbed in thought, and with a cigar held , firmly between his teeth he looked . : ; straight ahead, as if at some objective point that nobody else could see. Hi was too absorbed to return the salute^ and the men never tried to break in oa ' V 'J» his reserve. General Thomas was a good deal the same way, only sterner' . J looking than Grant. When he rode past . ^ a column it was always with soma definite object itt view, and he seemed too full of that to notice anything else. Tha men had the greatest confidence in him and for him, but there was never any familiarity or demonstration of affection. With Sherman it was entirely different^ I have seen him ride from front to rear -4 of a column, and it would be a continue < ^ ous cheer the whole way. Not only thia but a continuous exchange of salutationa and remarks. Between their cheers tha * men would shout good-natured remark# » ^ at 'Uncle Billy' and he would talk to *. -*• them in return, passing remarks about' • J his plans, what we were going to do next^ . ̂ etc. It seemed to me sometimes as if h^' would speak to almost every man in thflf column while he was passing. No xnattef ^ what he had on his mind he never seeme<| • ' j abstracted, and was always ready to chaff the boys. On horseback he was the * least soldierly-looking of the three, an<| * he had a slouchy way ol riding that used to tickle the boys. But what pleased "35 them most was his free and easy manner , % and his way of talking to everybody aa be rode along the lines. He got mora: cheering than military salutes." " % This difference of manner and of treat- ~%1 ment by the men indicates to some extent •; J a difference of temperament and charaetei- istics in the three generals. Sherman had A more of what is called personal magnet- ^j| ism than either of the others. His own -S i feelings were more impulsive, and he ' <$[ possessed in a higher degree the faculty '|| of stirring the feelings and exciting the enthusiasm of others. He was nearer to ^1 his men than either of the other generals, ,v,| and more in sympathy with volunteer soldiei s. The men had no more eoafi- * dence in him than they had in tiraat or £>' Tl o na^, but they loved him more. He could unbeud more gracefully than the others, and enjoyed doing it. The result was a peculiar feeling of comradeship " between Sherman and his soldiers which „ seemed to strengthen as the years passed bj.--lBdiiutapoim Joamtl, f •! * s 1
