«In the first volume of his : memoirs
Senator Sherman gives an account of
his ancéstors; and particulatly of Ed-
mond Sherman, a cloth manufacturer
and grim Puritan of considerable repu-
tation, who once lived in Dedham, Es-
sex county, England, where he'was born
in 1585, and who died in Dedham, Nor-
folk county, Mass...He came to this
country in 1654. The senator adds:
oWhen in London in the summer of
1889 I concluded to make a visit to the
graves of my ancestors. I examined
BlackTs Universal atlas to locate Ded-
ham, but it was not to be found. I
made inquiries, but could discover no
one who knew anything about Dedham,
and concluded that there was no such
place, although I had often read of it.
I was compelled, therefore, to give up
my visit.� But Senator Hoar, through
Lis mother, a descendant of Roger Sher-
man, omore fortunate, or more persist-
nt,� found the place, ~and verified the
accounts we had of our common ances-
ter.�
Dedham is otwo or three miles from
Manningtree, a more modern town on
the line of the railroad, which has sub-
stantially obscured the ancient and de-
cayed village of Dedham.� Manning-
tree, as. shown by the atlas, is near the
mouth of the River Stour, and the. bor-
oder of Essex and Swioll:. The fnevewn

of Norfolli county, and, as one may see
fav ia Postal Guide, there is a Dedham
in liancoek county, Me.; in Douglas
county, Wis., and Dedham is the capital
of Carroll county, Ila, The name of all
these placés can ~be traced beck through
New Englanders to that ancient and de-
cayed village of Essex, and yet one of
the foremost American statesmen,
whose grandfather and grandmother
were Connecticut Yankees, could not
SHAY from, any. bok or person in
Londee that such a place as the English
ham existed. . It. was Senator Hoar,

Its Interesting Featares"Scenes of
Hilarity Among the Dusky
Participants.
Uncle Moses and his wife, Aunt Dilsy,
both being very old and afflicted, were
allowed to occupy.a little old cabin and
je | use whut land they could tend, rent
free. #
Uncle Moses requested that he be per-
mitted oto cut de trees offen dat ar 1iTl
branch, what runs ~from my bac yard,
please, sah.�
Permission granted, Uncle Moses
didnTt look as if he eould fell a sapling.
He was so afflicted that he couldn't
plow. It was Aunt Dilsy that plowed,
But he displayed an ability toeut down
trees that was truly astonishing. Soon
he had-a long, narrow strip of rich, low
ground, and Aunt Dilsy plowed it with
the cow, She plowed with the cow be
cause she was of a timid natur be-
sides being afflicted. She would have
been afraid of any other beast, even if
she had had one, which she nadnTt. And| =
now, behold the corn! . Such a pile of
corn had been raised on ocat ar tiT
branch Lottom,� that its fame had
spread abroad over the plantation.
Very proud and boastful was Uncle
Moses, ind great was the crowd at his
corn shucking. Old and young, rent-
ers and hired hands, and even Uncle
Bristol Tfunt, who owned seven acres
of land, were all there. As it was not
a olicker corn shucking,� but a ~supper
corn shucking,� the ladies were out in
full force.
Conspicuous among them were the
Conitchee girls, in red skirts and new
shirt waists, the belles of the evening.
Running them pretty close, though,
were the, Turner girls, who wore only
gingham dresses, but had side combs
in their bangs and their back hair ar-
ranged in Psyches. The boys were
numerous and jolly, several from. oover
the erick� being. present. Jimmie
Goode, the crack banjo player, was also
there, .
oYou, Jimmie, dar!� cried Uncle
Moses. oDonTt you shuck none oT my
corn; you pick dat banjo, so dese nig-
pers can wuk fast. Dis ainTt no one-
horse corn pile!�
oAll. right,
| Jimmie, readily.
| pick it ut supper time,� and the fasei-
nating strains: of oGeorgie es filled
the air.
The shucking went on briskly with
increasing hilarity.
oHi, dar, you niggers!� interrupted
Unele Moses. ~DonTt you ~dassen't ~play
baseball wid my years oT corn,� and
oYou stop dat rasslinT, you Sam Jones
en Kiah Hawkins! Miss Pattie Belle
Conitchee ainTt lookinT at yer en yer
ainTt got her ter study.�
The task of preserving order kept
Uncle Moses busy and gave him little
time, for telling any of his stories of
ode good old time befoT de war.�
When the huge pile of corn was get-
ting low, the magic announcement of
oSupper!� was made"and such a sup-
per! Fax roasted pig, luscious chicken
custards and the most wonderfu! cakes.
Aunt Dilsy was a cook oshore nuff.�
The compliments she received from
the appreciative consumers were fairly

It was a veritable cake, brown and de-
4.licious, in the eenter. of which was a
bird, alive andT flutteri vote was
otaken to decide welch Gene younpTTa-
dies should have the honor of cutting
the cake and liberating the bird.
Exeitement ran high, and through
} the enerretie efforts of Siah Hawkins,
Miss Pattie Belle Conitchee came very
near being elected to that Lonor. But
Miss Ginky Turner received the most
votes in the end, greatly to the elation
cf the Turner faction. Miss Ginky Tur-
ner was led up to the cake table by Jim-
mie Goode, his banjo swung jauntily
over his shoulder, and she sliced the
cake with much grace and dexterity.
The live bird hopped out, and after -
