That 40 years back Sherman was thus licked by innumerable Southerners (without poisonous effect) and that his likeness underwent besmirchment at the hands of many a Southern postmaster makes the present sputtering of legislative bodies in South Carolina and Georgia seem pointless indeed...

George Apley, with his five-button coat, is to America as the Breton peasant woman with her super-headdress is to France; perhaps some day he too will adorn the pages of the National Geographic on the dentist's waiting-room table...
