Thomas Ewing. and attended school in Lancaster until 1836, whffn he entered the military academy at West PoihV graduating from that institution In 1840, standing sixth in a class of forty-two members He received his first commis­ sion as"a Second Lieutenant in the Third Artillery, July 1, 1840, and was sent with that command to Florida. On Nor. 30, 1841, he was promoted to a First Lieu­ tenancy. fir 1843, on his return from a short leave, he began the study of law, net to make it a profession, but to ren­ der himself a more Intelligent sol­ dier. In 1846, when the Mexican war broke out, he was sent with troops to California, where he acted as adjutant general to Gen. Stephen W. Kearney. On his return, in 1850, he was married to Ellen Boyle Ewing at Washington, her father, his old friend, then being Secretary of the Interior. He was ap­ pointed a captain in the commissary de­ partment Sept. 21, 1850, but resigned in 1853 and was appointed manager of a bank in San Francisco, but subsequently took up his residence in New York as agent for a St. Louis firm. In 1858-59 he practiced law in Leavenworth, Kan., and the following year became Super- tendent of the Louisiana state Mili­ tary Academy. It was while he was acting in this connection that Louisi­ ana seceded from the Union, and General Sherman promptly resigned his office. On May 13, 1861, he was com­ missioned Colonel of the Thirteenth Infantry, with instructions to report to General Soott at Washington. Sher­ man was put in command of a brigade in Tyler's division. On Aug. 3, 1861, h« was made a Brigadier General of Volun­ teers, and, was sent to be second in com­ mand to General Anderson, in Kentucky. On account of broken health, General Anderson was relieved from the com­ mand, and G«n. Sherman succeeded him on Oct. 17. Just after the capture of Forts Henry and Donelson, in 1862, Gen. Sherman was assigned to the Army of the Tennessee. In the great battle of Shiloh, Sherman's division served as a sort of pivot He was wounded in the hand during the fight, but refused to leave the field. General Halleck de­ clared that "Sherman saved the fortunes of the day on the 6th, and contributed largely to the glorious victory of the 7th." General Sherman was always conspicuous for judgment and dash. He was made a Major General next, and on July 15 he was ordered to Memphis. On account of brilliant services in the Vicksburg campaign he was appointed a Brigadier General. After General Grant had been made Lieutenant General he assigned General Sherman to the command of the Military Division of the Mississippi. On Feb. 19, 1804, General Sherman received the thanks of Congress for his services in the Chattanooga campaign. On April 10 he received his orders to move against Atlanta. Hla^rces then consisted of f>&,000 men, with 254 guns, while the Confederate army, under Johnston, was composed of 62.000 men. Sherman repeat­ edly attacked the enemy, who gradually fell back. On July 17 Sherman began the direct attack on Atlanta. In a num­ ber of severe sorties the Union forces were victorious, and on Sept. 1 the enemy evacuated the place. Sherman immediately moved forward to the works that covered Savannah, and soon cap­ tured that city. His army had marched 300 miles in twenty-four days through the heart of Georgia, and had achieved a splendid victory. Sherman was made a Major General, and received the thanks of Congress for his trrumphal march. Upon the appointment of Grant as General of the Army, Sherman was pro­ moted to be Lieutenant General, and when Grant became President of the United States, March 4, 1869, Sherman succeeded him as General, with head­ quarters at Washington. At his own re­ quest, and in order to make Sheridan General-in-chief he was placed on the retired list, with full pay and emolu­ ments, on Feb. 8, 1884. For a while fffter that the General resided in St Louis, but some years ago moved to New Ycfk, where he became a great fa­ vorite. There was hardly a night that he did not attend some dinner, enteiv tainment, or theater party, and he be­ came well known as an eloquent after- dinner speaker. The General lived very quietly with his family at his house in Seventy-first street, near Central Park. The General's wife died a few years age, and two of his daughters are married. One of his sons is a Jesuit priest. Two unmarried daughters and a son, a law­ yer, comprise the General's household in this city. Divination in Mongolia. He was t native of eastern Tibet, and was known as the Lab jyal-se-re. He passed his time in prayer, thus warding off all calamities from the country, the people, and their flocks and herds. Especially was his wonder­ ful foreknowledge of use to all those who were about to start on journeys or to undertake perilous expeditions, for he could foretell all that was to befall them. Taking a few presents, and aooom- parned by the two Mongols who had offered me their services, I went to the Gegen's tent, and having given him a long blue silk scarf called a kaia--the indispensable accompaniment of any present or request --together with the other presents, which comprised A con­ vex and concave looking-glass, a razor and a piece of soap, I begged that he would deign to disclose to me the fate of my expedition; should I be able to cross the terrible Dre ch'u and eastern Tibet, or should I be obliged to retrace my steps and fail in my attempt ? He took tip from beside him a little gold box in which were dice, held it up to his forehead while he muttered a prayer, opened it and looked at the dice. Then he took a book, and turn­ ing over the leaves till he reached one whose number corresponded with that MEW YORK'S TRIBUTE TO 8HBR- ;.W "TIAN'S MEMOFTY.'S.; :7R • injftati°ofimlilne Services at the* Residence--Buildings Drsp»d With Em­ blems of the* Ketion's Gri#f--The Koute of the Funeral ivrtmf Thronged wiUf People,^ * At an *early hour the people began tp assemble in West Seventy-first street op­ posite the residence of General Sherman.'

Sherman, and his sisters, Mrs. Thackara and Miss Racbel Sherman. He did not go then to view his father's remains, but after a short, sad talk with his brother and sisters, retired for the night to pass the hours till morning in restless sleep. During the morning a large flofal shield was received at the house from tlib West Point cadetv The shield was six feet in height and four feet broad. It was made of white and blue immortelles and bore the inscription, "William Te- cumseh Sherman, from his West Point boys'class ef 1810." A short Catholic service was performed about the casket of General Sherman. To this none were admitted but the members of tho family and near rela­ tives. The services were very simple and consisted of prayer and singing. After these services the casket was closed. President Harrison did not look upon the remains of tl;e General. The. family sent &n invitation to him, but tho President kindly replied that ho pre­ ferred to keep witfi him the remem­ brances of the General while alive. The caisson, draped in black and drawn by four white horses, was drawn up in front of the Sliprmu^i house. Tho horses were mounted, by regulars, and an army officer was' In charge. At tho caisson was an orderly leading-the black charger which boire the military trap­ pings of the General. A black velvet covering almost hid tlie horse from view. But the boots and saddle wer^ "plainly conspicuous. The services oyo£, the wit move toward the formation of tke 'profes­ sion was began.

The casket of the General was borne slowly to tho funeral carriage amid uncovered heads. The procession began to move down Eighth avenue, but the progress was very slow. On the sido. streets were hundreds of carriages waiting for a place In the immense procession. The order of the column, following the relatives and fam­ ily, was as follows.

There is a good story told of the out­ witting of a gambler and a confeder­ ate, who was looking on, by an ap­ parent inuocent. The game, which wa* Napoleon, is played in this man­ ner: Five cards are dealt and the players in turn declare the number of tricks each claims to make. Whoever declares the highest number plays against the rest< and the first card led is trumps. There were in this case only two players, and to the "innocent" was dealt ace, king, queen, knave of clubs and ace of diamonds. He naturally backed himself to get five tricks, the chances in favor of his doing so bei g enormous. He intended, of course, to make clubs trumps, but the readiness with which his wagers were accepted by the onlooker who saw his opponent's hand, aroused his suspicions, and when the stake had risen to a high amount, he made his solitary diamond the trump, and found hi* adversary with five clubs, and so made every triok. .94* .51 .«8 <g .68 @>*.75 & 5.75 @ 4.00 @3 6 00 & 1.18 <3 .60 & .65 ,99 .16* u this remarkable prophecy: "You want to go through Ch'amdo?

Porter, the ranking BAval officer of tho United States, long ?omiQ£n<tor-in-chief of the United States !avy? died it ^tis home in this city at 1:15 this morning Of fatty degeneration >f the heart, rfis death would not have >een a surprise bad it occurred at any lime within a year. He has been aeri- iusly ill for many montns, yet at the •st the end came swiftly and suddenly, irith but a few minutes of WArning. Twelve years ago the Admiral had a ?e- rere. stomach trouble which greatly weakened his system, and from which he jever recovered. Five years ago Dr. Wales, then Surgeon General of • LTnited States navytnmdQ examinfi- ;ion, and told the ola Sailor that there W3STC Symptoms which pointed to the fail- are of the action of the heart. Admiral Porter was an optimist. He laughed, and iaid to Dr. Wales: "Nonsense, my heart !s as good as yours and better." But tven to the last hours of his conscious­ ness Admiral Porter exhibited a feeble hope that there was a euro in store for Mm. Last summer ho began to show marked signs of rapid decline. His mem- Dry became visibly weaker, his strength was sapped, and his nerves seemed to lose their vitality. From the drain which was manifest upon his vital re­ sources then he never fully recovered. He was brought to Washington from his imtimer home at Jamestown, near New­ port, almost a dying man, and at times during the Winter had been in a state of leml-coma. For the past five months* In consequence of the nature of his dis- aase, it had been necessary to keep the patient in an upright position, and for that time he had either ~ occupied a treat arm-chair in his bed room or had half-lounged upon a cushion on the sofa. It was not until eight o'clock this morning that young Mr. Porter no­ ticed a startling change come over his father. There was a fluttering of the breath and pulse, a slight movement of the body, and in fifteen minutes the end sad come. There was no struggle, there was no movement to indicate a conscious- aess. The encumbered heart had stopped. Mr. Richard Porter, at the time of death, tteld one hand of the Admiral, and his lister, Mrs. Lieutenant Logan, the other. There were in the room at the time, be­ tides Lieutenant Theodoric Porter, of the navy, son of the Admiral, Lieu­ tenant L. C. Logan, of .the army; the nurse, James McDonald, a Scotch­ man; and William Wilkes, a colored iervaBt who has been with the Admiral fot* twenty-five years. Mrs. Porter, who was ill in bed, overcome by the long at­ tentions to her husband, and who had aever abandoned hope of his recovery, was not summoned to the death-bed, ilthough.she was in the adjoining room. The interment will take place in Arling­ ton in a lot selected by the Admiral ibout one year ago. He then drove there, accompanied by one of his sons ind his daughter, Mrs. Logan, and pointed to a lot near to that occupied by the remains of Gen. Sheridan, down the sastern terrace, overlooking the Poto- <nac and the capital. He said: "Drive t stake theie, for there is where my body lhall rest"" For weeks Admiral Porter had not Oeen permitted to see his friends. Not rery long ago General Sherman called lad left a message of sympathy. Ho laid to Admiral Porter's daughter: "I would rather not see Porter unless I sould see him as he always was when I have met him. I will be the next one, ind perhaps I may go before Porter does. Anyhow, it's nothing to die, and it is just M netural as It is to be born." In the death of Admiral David Dixon Porter the country loses the last of a trio of aaval commanders who sustained in the civil war the finest traditions of the old bavy. Though far from being alone In this record of gallantry, the names of Farragut, Foote and Porter have a pre-eminence of their own. David D. Porter was born in Ohester, Pa., June 8, 1818, and thus lacked a few months'of completing his 78th year. He had his first experience in tbe Mexican •ervice In 1827, being then 14 years of age. In 1829 he was appointed midshipman in the United States navy and attained his lieutenancy in 1841. He served during the entire Mexican war, had charge of the naval rendezvous at New Orleans and was engaged in every action on the coast. Afterward he commanded for some years steamships in the Pacific Mall service between New York and the Isthmus of Panama. At the beginning of the civil war he was appointed to the command of tbe Powhatan, on service in the Gulf, In Farragut's attack on New OrleHns, Por­ ter, now promoted to Commander, com­ manded the mortar fleet. Farragut, having destroyed the enemy's fleet of fifteen ves- »els, left the reduction of Fort Jackson and Fort St. Philip to Porter, while he proceed­ ed to the city. The forts surrendered In April, 1862. Porter then assisted Farragut In all the latter's operations between New Orleans and Vicksburg, where he effectively bombarded the forts and enabled the fleet to pass in safety. After his service at Vicksburg, Porter received the thanks of Congress and th3 commission of Rear Ad­ miral, dated July 4, IS63, the date of the fall of that town. He ran past the batteries af Vicksburg and captured the Confederate forts at Grand Gulf, which put his fleet into communication ' with Gen. Grant. In the ipring of 1864 Porter co-operated with Gen. Banks in the Bed Klver fiasco, and later in the same year was transferred to the North Atlantic squadron and reduced Ft. Fisber. Rear Admiral Porter received a vote of thanks from Congress, which was the fourth that he received during the, war. Rear Admiral Porter was promoted to be Vice Admiral on July 25, 1866, served a while as Superintendent of the Naval Academy and was then transferred to Washington. On Aug. 15,1870, be was ap­ pointed Admiral of the Navy, the.highest grade in the service. In 1882, Porter pub­ lished "Incidents and Anecdotes of the Civil War," and in 1887 "History of the Navy in the War of the Rebellion," a work of sub­ stantial merit. He was married in 1830 to Anne Paterson, a daughter of Commodore D. T. Paterson. He leaves one son In the navy, one in the Marine Corps, besides two others in private life, and two daughters.

The roceed- -'v* ™ ' They Die Abroad. The death of King Kalakaua in a foreign land, 2,500 miles from his King­ dom, recalls the death of his prede­ cessor, Kamehameha II., in London, nearly'sixty-six years ago. Kameha­ meha II., succeeded his father, Kame­ hameha I., the Great, in 1819, when the old native religion was beginning to give way before tho whites. Ameri- cam missionaries arrived in 1820, and soon thereafter the king abolished the tabu and idolatry. On November 27, turned up on the dice, he conned it tor }Sf' th,e T h°j long *e8*r.eJ a while and then delivered himself of tr*Ve1, 8ftlled f°r Londonon a Brltlal» man-of-war, acoompanied by his queen, Kamehamalu, and a suite. They were received by George IV., and attracted much attention in London. Early in July, 1824, they were attacked by a malignant form of measles, and on the 14th the king die A; the queen died shortly afterward. The man-of-war Blonde was detailed to carry the re­ mains of the king and queen to their kingdom, and on May 6,1825, it arrived ' at Honolulu, where the dead sovereigns ' werG buried with Christian ceremonies.

Foster oi^phio will be called to succeed the late Secretary Windom. The President is said to have a very high opinion of Mr. Foster's financial * ability, and close friends of the latter claim that the appointment has been offered him. The executive branch of the govern­ ment has atjfut abandoned Washington. The President and his cabinet, with most of the department beads, are in New York at­ tending tbe obsequies of Geneeal Sherman. vl Terribly Aggravating. A high official of the government was in a communicative mood to-day. He sat, tipped back in his comfortable office <ehair, and said to the Traveler correspondent: "I have made a dis­ covery that is worth millions to bashful men. You know there are some fellows who never can go into ladies' company ^ without being embarrassed, but I have t J J found out something that will make aw 4^: bashful man the equal of the most self- j conscious woman that ever lived. Now • let me tell you* my secret. I started out on the broad, general platform that a woman is more sensitive about her feet than anything else. Having set­ tled that in my mind, I began a series of experiments. The horsecar is my favorite place. I love to see a queenly looking woman get into the car and sit. down with the air of knowing that she- is the best-dressed lady present. In an apparently unconcerned way I at­ tract her attention by looking steadily at her feet, with an occasional glance at her face. Of course, I avoid all ap­ pearance of impertinence. I assume, the air of a man who sees something:, ^ t h a t i n t e r e s t s h i m .

She may have the handsomest foot in the world, and know that it is encased, in a nicelv fitting shoe, but she will. wilt all the same. It is a woman's weakness. I have tried it on youngt girls of sixteen and old women of eighty --the result is the same.
