Two of Grant's Anecdotes. lu his "Campaigning with Grant." in the Century, General Horace l'or ter gives the following anecdotes that were related by Grant at the head quarters mess : "I was with Geueral Taylor's com mand in Mexico when he not only failed to receive re-enforcements, but found that nearly all his regulars were to be sent away from him to join Gen eral Scott. Taylor was apt to be a little absentminded when absorbed in any perplexing problem, and the morn ing he received the discouraging news he sat down to breakfast in a brown study, poured out a cupof coffee, and, instead of putting in the sugar, he reached out and got hold of the mus tard pot and stirred half a dozen spoonfuls of its contents into the coffee. He didn't realize what he had done till he took a mouthful and then he broke out in a towering rage. "We learned something at Shiloh about the way in which the reports of losses are sometimes exaggerated in battle. At the close of the first day's fight Sherman met a colonel of one of his regiments with only about 100 of his soldiers in ranks and said to him, 'Why, where are your men?' The colonel cast his eyes sadly along the line, wiped a tear from his cheek and replied in a whispering voice, 'We went in S00 strong, and that's all that's left of us. 'You don'ttell me!' exclaimed Sherman, beginning to be deeply affected by the fearful result of the carnage. 'Yes,' said the col onel, 'the rebs appeared to have a spe cialspiteagainstus.' Sherman passed along some hours afterward, when the commissary was issuing rations, and found that the colonel's men were re turning on the run from under the bank of theriver where they had taken shelter from the firing, and in a few minutes nearly all of the lost 700 had returned and were boiling coffee and eating a hearty meal, with as appetite that showed they were still very much alive." Grandma Criticises. "When I was a young lady." says grandmamma, "we were not allowed to help ourselves in our walk with our arms, in the jerky, ung-aceful way that girls do nowadays, and which gives such a particularly ugly gait. Only apes and monkeys use their arms to assist locomotion, I used to be told. With man arms and hands should be only the servants of the brain, and when they are not in use they should be taught repose. Girls especially were trained to cultivate a quiet de meanor. What were then called 'fid gets' were never allowed, and acting on the principle inculcated by Dr. Watts that 'Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do,' the latter were always provided with some sort of occupation. "When a young lady went out in the evening she invariably carried a fan and a lace handkerchief. In the street she had her muff or her parasol, and at home she had always some dainty bit of work in the drawing room that she could take up at odd times. "As for crossing our legs or stick ing out our feet in the way they do nowadays, we would have as soon thought of flying." "No one will ever make me believe," said another venerable grande dame of the olden school, "that Miss Par venne, whom they all think so charm ing, is a lady. She called on my granddaughter the other day and had on only one glove, the other hand she kept in her muff, but I could see that it was actually bare." That gloves should be put on and neatly buttoned at home is another time-honored precept that is taken little heed of at present, but which in the good old days, when everything was as it should be?according to our grandparents?was an unwritten law equal to those of the Medes and Per sians in strictness. A well-bred wo man would have no more thought of leaving her house ungloved than un bounded. "Thank heaven that we are rid of such primes and primsy nonsense !" exclaims Miss Fin de Si?cle ; butit is a question whether the girls of the period would not be more attractive if they had a little of the sweet primness of yore.?New York Tribune. Are Women as Honest as Men? Women of a certain kind have al ways been addicted to shoplifting, and their inclination has always attracted attention, partly from its extreme in convenience to shopkeepers, whose very business compels them to expose their goods to this risk, and partly, we imagine, because menare so accustom ed to trusting the honesty of women that this particular abberration from their usual habits excites a sense of surprise. Women have much less op portunity of stealing than men, as they could hardly take to burglary, highway robbery or the work of the footpad, women, we notice, being rarely accused of snatching jewels or purses from other women, though they can approach them so closoly. They are, besides, we feel sure, more hon est. They feel the temptation of money less, and the sense of its im portance, and of their own trusteeship in regard to it much more. That is the universal opinion of the Continent, where women are implicitly trusted with the till, and we notice that the practice is spreading here, so that charge of the cash receipts of shops is becoming one of the most frequent of female employments. There are bold female swindles, but theo generally swindle by using their capacity for histrionics. The charges of embezzlement alleged against women are extraordinarily few, while their honesty as servants, when they must often be grievously tempt ed, is really marvellous. The ordi nary well-to-do house mistress takes no more precautions against her maids' thieving propensities than against her daughters, and, if she is a shrew, dilates upon every fault possible ex cept this one. Nine times out of ten when a maid steals it is under the in fluence of some man outside, a remark which experienced policemen say is true eveu of the street girls who are frequently charged with the offence. Women, in fact, steal much less fre quently than men do.?London S}>?c tator. ? Licorice root comes principally from Asia Minor, and is the root of a bush not more than 3 or 4 feet high.

"There are plenty of women in Oregon now," observed a prominent Oregon pol itician, w?o is here to see that that State is Dot forgotten in the matter of patronage, "but it is within the memory of many of us when women were very scarce there. We gave it out that we wanted them for school teachers and the like, and encour aged them toc?me out there, but the truth was the mon wantod them for wives. I romember onco we sent a youug manto Massachusetts, where he was well ac quainted, with orders to collect 100 young women and to oscort them back to Oregon. We guaranteed every one of them one year's employment. The active man in tho matter was a line-locking j'oung man, who afterward served two terms in con gress from our State. lie 6pent two months iu selecting the party and started west with them. On the trip out ho courted one of the school teachers on his own hook and actually got her consent to a marriage on tho arrival of the train at Portland. The boys howled considerably about it, claiming that he had treated them unfairly, in having lirst choice, but there was a lot of line, marriageable ma terial left. Some of those women are to day the leading l?dik? of the society of the State. More than three-fourths" of the hundred were married inside of three years, and many in less than one year. A few of the lot, however, aro teaching school there to-day, not that they did not have any offors, but because thoy would not accept any of the fellows who offered themselves. Now that Senator Mitchell has about given up his contest to return as senator, he will likely be succeeded by a gentleman who married one of the party of school teachers to which I refer, lie will bring his wife hero with him, and your Washington folks can seo for them selves the kind of ladies we had out there for school teachers. They can't be sur Eassed even if equalled anywhere. I may e an interested perfon, though, for it happons that my wife was one of the party."? Washington Star. Like a Dime Novel Story. Houston, Texas, March IS?-Tho most daring attempt at crime ever kuown here was frustrated this morning at 3 o'clock, when detectivos killed Walter Hughes as he was in the act of entering the house of Frank Dunn, a wealthy resident of this city. The police received information some time ago that a scheme was on foot to kidnap Dunn's little daughter. The purpose of tho kidnappers was to keep tho girl in captivity and demand ?40,000 ransom for restoring her to her parents. Detectives have been on guard at Mr. Dunn's house for several nights, but no developments occurred until this morn ing, when it was discovered that a man was attempting to force one of the win dows of the Dunn residence. One of the officers inadvertently attracted the atten tion of the marauder, who, Gndinghe was discovered, drew a revolver and fired twice at the detective. The detective then opened fire and tho intruder fell dead. Hughes vas a railroad man, but has late ly been working as a carpenter. He had rented a house near Dunn's, and under the lloor of one of the rooms had dug a cave in which the kidnapped child was to be secreted until the ransom was paid. At a point some distance from the city Hughes had arranged a number of tin boxes, where he intended to direct that the ransom money bo deposited. Hughes also intended to give notice that if any watch was kept over these depositories it would result in tho death of the child. When llughes'a body was searched a revolver, keen-odged butcher knif? and a bottle of chloroform were found. An immense crowd had gathered in and around the morgue where tho body lies. Mrs. Hughes has been amsted, but will not talk. X-Rnys Prevent Fraud. Baltimore, March 10.? Officials of the City and Suburban Railway Company, of this city, have found the cathode X-rays an efficient detective to prevent a scheme to defraud the company. A man whose name the officers declino to disclose, brought a claim against the company and threatened suit. He repn ? inted that he had had one of his arms broken by a car of tho company and, through an attorney, he demanded ?3,500 damages. His arm was tied up from the wrist to the elbow, and he pretended to be in great pain. Rather than go to the expenso of a lawsuit the railway company offered to compromise the claim by the payment of ?100, which was refused. The company then thought of the X rays, and, believing the claimant to be a fraud, they arranged to have a picture taken of the bones of the man'e arm. The photograph showed that the bones were intact, and that they had never boen fractured. ? Philadelphia Times. Georgia Horror. Harlem, Ca., March 19 ?News reached here this morniDg of an awful tragedy eight miles south of this place yesterday afternoon. Wiight Smith, a one-legged Confederate veteran, went to Thomsom yesterday, drew his pension and went home. He paid some debts in the neighborhood and then asked his three children to go with him to feed some hogs. For some reason his oldest girl, of about S years, refused to go. Ho carried the two young est, both boys, aged 2 and 1, to the cotton house, where he crushed their brains out with his wooden crutch and then sent a pistol ball through his own brains. He lived several hours but never spoke. An empty laudanum bottle was found near and the supposition is that he took the contents before shooting himsdlf. Tree Falls and Kills Girls. Montgomery, Ala., March 20 ?At Mountain Creek, a Station a few miles north of Montgomery, on the Louieville and Nashville road, yestorday, two daughters of James 1 . Norroll, aged thir teen and sixteen years, were instantly killed by a falling tree. The older girl was at the spring when the storm came upon her, and her sister started to meet her with an umbrella. Just as they met the tree was blown down, crushing them to death. ? Tho erroneous idea is li9ld by some that lead shot are made spherical by fall ing from a height. Tho only purpose of lofty shot towers is to givo tho shot a chance to cool and harden as they tumble. They aro just as perfect spheres when they start from the top as when they reach the well of water 200 feet or so below. The usefulness of the water is merely as a soft cushion to receive them. Shot can not be formed from pure load, but an ad mixture of arsenic causes tho lead to form globules, like mercury. The molten mix ture is placed in an iron saucepan with perforated bottom, and the drops falling through are the shot. They must fail some distanco in order to get time to cool and harden. When a batch is thus made they are scooped out of the water, tum bled about in a revolving barrel with plumbago, and finally put through a se ries of sieves to sort them into sizes for the market. ? A London judge has recently decided that where a worshipper by mistake puts a larger amount than intended into the church collection box tho money cannot be refunded on a plea of error. The de cision grew out of a suit brought by a woman who attends service in a fashlon ahle Episcopal church, against tho vicar and church wardens, her contention being that, during a fit of mental aberration she had placed in the plate a sovereign instead of a shilling. She therefore sought to recover some ?4-75. The court held that the moment the money fell into the plate it became an accepted offering to the Lord and that neither the church officials nor the courts are at liberty to authorize the return to the donor. ? Tho mayor of tho town of Bowling Green, O., is a stickler for the law. Hence, when ho got drunk and disorderly the other night he had himself arrested and locked up in a cell along with a crowd of other drunks and disorderlies. The next morning when he was called upon to plead before himself to the charge made by himself, ho entered a plea of guilty, with extenuarme circumstances, and then fined himself ?">. Notwithstanding this show of determination to do the right thing, the people of tho town are talking about forcing tho mayor to give up his office. ? Congressman Charles P. Sprague, of Boston is probably the richest man who will sit in the LVIth congress. Ho is but 40 years old, while his wife, who was a Miss Pratt, of Brookline, Mass., is some years his junior. The joint wealth of this fortunato couple is estimated at?20,000,000. Mr. Sprague comes from an old historic Plymouth farail}'. He was graduated from Harvard college. He is a lawyer, but is seldom srou in tho courts, his timo being taken up m looking aftor his own and his wife's cxtonsive financial inter ests. ? Horseflesh appears to bo a popular food in tho larger towns of or many, According to an cllicial statement. 7,G")0 horses were slaughtered in Berlin and 2,2S4 in Breslau, while more than 1,000 were sold at Munich, Dresden, Madge burg and Cologne respectively. The tomi number of borsos slaughtered and con Bumed in Germany during 1896 reached the astonishing figure of 18,161, Suicide Horse. Under most peculiar circumstances a horse that had been for many years in the family of Mr. Frederick Goetz, of 1022 Wenze street, strangled itself last night by pulling on the halter, and was found lying dead in his stall this morning, says the Louisville Post. Mr. Goetz, who reported the occur rence, says that it is the most remark able instance of brute intelligence of which he ever heard. Mr. Goetz 1:ought the horse 20 years ago. when but a colt, and has used him for a family horse ever since. Three gener ations of the family have driven him, and the children and grandchildren have ridden him and petted him. until lie knew them all, and exhibited an extraordinary fondness for them. Of late years the horse has become so devoted to the family that he grew very impatient if anyone else approach ed him. For the last few weeks Mr. Goetz has been considering an offer for the animal, but was very loath to sell him. As he has another horse, he decided eventually that he could not afford to keep both, and accepted the offer. Last evening, shortly after supper, Mr. Goetz and the would-be purchaser walked out to the stable and examined the horse. After a talk they closed the bargain. Before leav ing the stable he told the purchaser how long the horse had been in the family and how much he regretted selling him. The horse was to change hands this morning, but when the stables wa3 opened it was found that he had drawn the halter, which was always left in a loose knot around his neck, taut, and had died of strangulation. Mr. Goetz thinks there is no doubt but that the intelligent animal comprehended the sale, and voluntarily drew the rope on his neck. He says that such a faith ful animal shall not pass into the hands of the dead animal contractor, but he will give him a solemn funeral to-morrow. The whole family is much grieved over the occurrence. Some Late New Things. A machine has just been invented for the production of duplicate statu ary, the mechanism consisting of a system of revolving cutters attached to frames operated by a tracer running over the pattern. The combination of a cane and stool is accomplished by means of a hollow handle in which are placed a number of steel rods fastened to a center post to spread out flat like the ribs of an umbrella. A wick tube for lamp buruers that can be opened for cleaning is hinged at one side and has a spring clasp on the other, the wick-raiser being fas tened on one side, and the tube can be opened to insert a new wick. To do away with the neccessity of taking out railroad tickets to show the conductor a glass ticket-holder is fastened to the back of the car seat, which holds the ticket always insight. For checking or unchecking a horse a recently patented device has a strap attached to therr'n, running through a ring in the checkhook to pull the check back and fasten it or release it when fastened. The latest novelty in the bicycle line consists in gearing the steering bar to the seat post, which is turned from side to side by the motion of the body, both the hands and feet being used to propel the wheel. The latest device for the extraction of dust from cushions, car seats, etc., consists of a metal bell to slide over the cushions, a pipe being attached to the upper end and connected with an air pump to draw the dust out. A recently patented lamp that will not tip over and always remains in an upright position is composed of a hol low glass ball weighted at the bottom and having a light globe on top, the weight always righting the lamp when it is tipped. For use in cleaning a comb a new device-is formed of rubber and has slots into which the teeth of the comb fit, the cleaner having clasps to fit over the ends of the comb so that it can be carried when traveling to pre vent the teeth from breaking. m ? Law and Gospel Given Even When it was not Wanted. The itinerant preacher was one of the features of our early American life. Many anecdotes are told of the stern old gospelcrs who traveled on foot or on horsebock many miles yearly from one scattered flock to an other in the wilderness, giving personal counsel and preaching "godliness of life." One of the most noted of these rough but earnest men was Alexander Bolles, who preached in three States among the Alleghany Mountains. "Father Bolles," as he was called, was much tormented by the influence of one John Kodgers, a Jerseyman, who openly taught atheism and the abolishment of marriage. On one oc casion while holding a meeting in the woods in Virginia, a young man and woman pushed their way up to the stump which served as a pulpit. The man, interrupting the sermon, said de fiantly, "I'd like you to know that we are ltogerines." The old man looked at him over his spectacles, and waited. "We don't believe in no God." "No? And then??" t "Nor in marriage. This is my wife because I choose her to be; but I'll have no preacher nor squire meddlin' with us." "Do you mean to tell me," thun dered Father Bolles, "that you have taken this girl home as your wife?" "Yes, I do," said the fellow dog gedly. "And have you gone willingly to live with him as your husband?" "Yes," said thefrightened girl. "Then I pronounce you man and wife, and whom God hath joined to gether let not man put asunder. Be off with you. You are married now according to the law and gospel.? Youth's Companion. ? One of the iruidcs at the Capitol had an amusing experience, says the Washington Star. A coutryman was shown the wonders of the whispering gallery and the stone which deadens all sound. After the usual experiments were completed, he astonished the guide by saying, "Mister, kin a body get a stone like that thar hyar in Washington ? Yo, see, my wife gits cantankerous at times, au' she kin talk pow'ful hard when she gits started. If I could git one o' them things tor stan' on out in our kitchen, I'd be willin' ter pay well fer it." ? The Revivalist Ilammand once preached at Yallejo, Cal., from the words, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me ?" In the audience there was an engineer named Saul, who was accompanied by his wife and little girl. The reverend gentleman repeated his text several times, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me ?" At last the little one, who thought that the text had a personal application, lojkcd up into the face of her parent and said, "Father, don'tmind him; he's drunk." ?
