The elocutionist was delighted with it and recited it that night." The expression used in the poem which describes his riding down with a "terrible oath" has been a source of annoyance to the General. There has been an idea among those who did not know him personally that he was a very profane man, and this has been proved by anecdotes concerning him, is which he has been so quoted. During the ! war he received a number of curious letters on the subject. The good fathers and mothers of the soldier boys wrote him earnestly, begging that he would not set such an example before their sons, who admired him so much that they might even emulate his faults. General (Sheridan on some oocasions during the war found tbo ordinary vocabulary of conversation Inadequate to express his thoughts in action, and probably made use of language that could not be misunderstood, but the prevalence given such yarns about his profanity was always greatly annoying. "Well, you see," continued the General, "after tho battle of Cedar Creek there was published in Harper'i Weekly a story of my ride from Winchester and a picture of me on the back of old Rlenzi. Murdoch had agreed" to recite a poem at a fair then being held in Cincinnati and Read had promised to write something now and appropriate for him. But when Murdoch called in for the manuscript the afternoon he was to reeite he hadn't touched a pen to paper—said ha didn't know what to write about. Well, Murdoch hod just seen a man who waa in the battle and was full of the battle, being a friend of mine, you see; so ho just pulled the copy of Harper's Weekly from his pocket and repeated to Read all the officer had told him. Read jumped up, locked himself in his were occupying the place where the young aoldier was buried, and the father decided to wait until the ground was regained. On Sundays the elocutionist used to recite poems to the troops around headquarters, and there was one of Browning's that the soldiers always called for, namely, the story of the ride from Qhent to Aix. Dnjing the Franco-German war General Sheridan visited Europe and was presentaa a spectator at several famous engagements. November 1, 1883, by direction of President Arthur, he assumed command of the army of the United Slates, with headquartera at Washington, in place of General Sherman, who was relieved by request, preparatory to his retirement in the spring of 1881 On the first day of June, 1888, a bill reviving the rank of General passed both houses of Congress, and on the same day the President appointed Sheridan General. His death, which oocurred Sunday, August S, 1888, was duo to heart failure, an affliction from which he had been suffering for eleven weeks previous to his demise. General Sheridan has told in his own words of how the poem " Sheridan's Ride " came to be written. It seems that Murdoch, the elocutionist, waa a great friend of his during the war. He had a son with Sheridan who was killed at Missionary Ridge, and the old man came from Cincinnati to get the body. The Confedoratea Later in April Sheridan conducted an expedition into North Carolina, and on June 8 took command of the Military Division of the Southwest at New Orleaus. Relieved by President Johnson August 30,1867, during the reconstruction troubles in Louisiana, he was assigned, September 12, to the Department of tho Missouri. March 4,1809, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant- General, and twelve days later assumed oommand of the Division of the Missouri, with headquarters in this city. stantly.

Doting June and July Sheridan was engaged in a number of minor battles, serving With the greatest distinction. Toward the end of July he moved north of tho James to aid General Hancock's operations at Deep Bottom, and July 28 he was engaged at Darbytown.
