HERO WORSHIP.
Schun In His Autobiography Tells
How Sherman Was Applauded.
When he (Gen. Sherman) tailed
himself a "happy man" there was a
tono of juf.t exultation in his words.
He was, Indeed, a happy man. He
had won great renown as a soldier
and an Immense popularity all over
the Northern country. Th.'s he knew,
and he thoroughly relUhcd It. All
sorts of societies and public organl.
zations 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, soruettmos 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.
Descendant of Confucius.
Here Is a little sketch of Confuci
us' seventy-sixth lineal uescendant,
who lives in a Yaman of China:
Duke K'ung received us in his official
robes, and was most kind and affable.
He is a tall, strongly made man of
35 years of age. The Duke speaks no
English. His Highness does not of.
ten leave his home, and has only
twice visited Peking. The large num.
ber of members of his establishment
who crowded into the hall to listen to
tho audience caused me to ask the
Duke If he kept a large establish
ment, and he Informed that it con
sisted of fully 400 souls. His revenue
is derived from the villages of the
neighborhood for many miles around,
one village as far away from Chufou
as 400 11 (HO miles) paying an an
nual sum. His Highness expressed
friendly sentiments toward foreign
ers, whom he alleges he is always
glad to receive when they vledt Clui
fou. -He expressed the opinion that
English was practically the olllclal
language of China."
Provision for Self-Advertlsernoni.
