VOLUME XXXVT-TiO 47 Truth About Grant. The following timely article is a communication recently published in the tlunto Constitution : Editor Conatitution : Not long ago yon "reproduced by permission from the New York World'* Sunday Maga sine" an artiole by Mrs. Jefferson Davis on "Tho Humanity of Gen. Grant." Mrs. Dsvis has certainly depended apon imagination snd hearsay in this eulogy on Grant. Speaking of the sword story of Appomattox, she says : "General Grant did not keep it as a trophy, 3ut respectfully returned it to tho hand which had made its fame SB deathless as that of Excalibur." In Grants Memoirs, volume 2, page 494, he says: "The much talked of sur rendering of Lee's nword snd my handing it back, this and mach more that has beon said about it ss the purest romance." It was pore ra diance about Grant receiving tho sword, and it follows that it was not "respectfully oi ru u." In his memoirs, Gen. Grant says that Geo. Lee told bim that in tho Confederate army the cavalrymen and artillerists owned their own horses. Gen. Grant was of opinion that the war was about ended; that most of the j Confederates were small farmers and would not bo able to make a crop without "the aid of the horses they were then riding." He said to Gen. Lee about the horses: "The United States did not want them, and I would, therefore, iostruct the officers I left behind to receive the parolos of his troops to let every man of the Con federate army who claimed to own a horse or male to take the animal to hia home." From this it will be seen that Gen. Grant, according to his own statement, was influenced by two facts in allowing the Confederates to retain their horso3, to wit: The horses were the private property of the sol diet i, and."thc United States did not want them." This means that the I horses would have been taken if they bcd belonged to the Confed rate States, or they would have been taken anyway if tho United States had want ed them. This horse story has been told so of ten that no doubt some persons be lieve that Gen. Grant sent Gen. Lee's soldiers home on horseback, but tn at is not the case. When the surrender oame Gen. Lee had only 7,892 inf an* j try with arms in their hands. Before the paroles were made ont stragglers enough came up to run tho number np to about 25,000. Of these about 5,000 were osvalry and artillery. Then at least 20,000 men had to walk home, and were not beneficiaries of ! Grant's magnanimity. The men who ' did ride home were allowed to keep their horses only until they got in <?ood condition. Then treasury agents b warmed through the country and car ried off every horse that had the brand U S. or C. 8. on it. But this did not satisfy them, for they took away every horae that some trifling negro would say had bee i in the army. When it comeB to magnanimous treatment of Confederates, Grant is not to be classed wit'i Sherman. Gen. Bonjamin F. Butler states that there was an agreement between Sherman and his leading officers to provide a ship at Charleston for the escape from tho country of Jefferson Davis and such of his cabinet and others as chose to ro. with him. it is a fact that Sherman proposed *<-' alicT tbs men uf Johnston's army who surrendered at Greensboro to take their guns and go home as if no war had taken place. He said he would rather have the paroled Confederates control the Sooth than to see it turn ed over to the negro rule., Mrs. Davis should write no more saoh snides, for the newspapers until eho ia sure of her facts. ROBERT H. HEMPHILL. The Land of Besodlcts. Tho men in South America hold their women in highest respect. Not only do they accord them the polite distinction of outward deference, but they guard them with an earnest so licitude that protects them from every care, and they bear from them every burden that man oan carry f:.~ woman. The ohivalry of the oldem time sur vives among these people, and that is doubtless ono reason why the women are 80; contented with their lot. A charming senora assured me that the South American women make tho best wives in the world. After matriage, tho woman is ns ono lost to the world. Her career is Sotshed.Bofar aa matters autaide her domestic affairs aro eon cered. Her sphere of influence ia henceforth inclosed within the triple couria of her husband's house, and conaietB in bringing np her children and in exercising a n:itd sovereignty in her domestic domain. Thor are no married flirts in Sooth America, no scandals caused by un faithful wives, no ambitions, woman pining in their secluded homes, so far aa ia known. There' are co wemcu's rights* conventions, temperance socie ties, no daU&hte s' or mothers* mees ogs. There is not evan a woman** whist club in the whole country. The wife know* (withing of he issi!? : fi u ano: 3, and ehe is not OJ U au I ted in the consideration of her husband's j serious affairs The question maj I well be asked, "What in the world do these women do with their time?" And the answer is, that their days are quite ss fall of activities, mental and physical, as they wish them to be. South American women do not orate the freedom and publicity of life they see enjoyed by their sisters in other countries. They prefer the sedation with the protection of their own method of life. They are very chari table, too, and tho kindness itself to the poor people in their neighborhood, as they send portions of bread and meat every day to their, poor neigh bors.-Richmond JNeto*. Ma airier a Hushanri ; "Aunt" Charlotte (colored-very much so) was so mild a creature that we had never suspected it cf her. The good anntie was a widow, a faot of which sho seemed rather proud, though she always spoke of the late departed with the greatest respect and often deplored her condition; but the state of widowhood appeared to be rare in her circle, and it gave her a sort of distinction. Somehow, too, she seemed to hold vaguely that it rendered her judgment clearer and made her decisions leserving of great er attention. "Fact is," she begin" one day, with out warning, "yo' gotter know how to get er-long wid a man. Ain't np man wot ain't gotter be managed, 'deed there aint. There was my 'Gustus jess the bes test-meaning man, but whah would I been if I hadn't managed him? Yo'see, he used tobeapotah on a sleeping kyar, an* he'd come homo sleepy and cross, which was natural. Well he'd eome an' scold round 'bout this thing an' udder thing. Course I koo wed he didn't mean it, but I seen it didn't do him no good, an' didn't do me no good. - So I jess made np my mine to see 'bout it.. "One mohnin' in ho come 'bout i) o'clock, an' he jess kinder found fault in er gen'ral way 'bout everything, an* don went into do udder room an1 jess flopped himself down on de white bed spread 'thout so much as taken' off his shoes an'went to sleep. This was jess a little too rauch for me, an' I says to myself. 'Ho's mah lawful 'os band thter promised to lovo an' honah an' 'boy, bot I gotter tek him in hand fer his own good, so I havel' "So, after awhile, when he was snorin' right lively, I jess tek mah needle an' mah thread and goes in an' I draws do spread all up around him, an' I sews it good an' strong all up around him, jess like a oat in a bag, tight, an' says I, 'when I let dst eat oater dal bag he'll he er better oit, so he will!' Den I gets de tater m a sh ah an' I jess gives it to him good, hard's I could pound. He wakes upan* 'gins to holler mighty loud, I tells yo'; bat I jess keeps on a-swioging dat mashah. He keeps tearing round right smaht, but he oan't get erway nohow. "Den I rests a little an' asks him how he feels 'bout de future, an' he don't seem to feel right, an' keeps trying to get ont, an' pretty soon turns ovah; so 1 gets upan* pretty soon tums ovah; so ' I gets up an' I jess mash him some moah on t'other side, mebby little was dan beffoh, seeing I had a hard BabjeCt that wa'n't ready tc listen to reason. An byme-by he 'comes more still, an' I seen he was coming to be rekenoiled, sol stops, an' says I, "Gastas, do you reckon yo' be good now an' stop yo' fault finding?' an' says he, 'Deed I will, Cha'lotte!

An' I seen he meant it, t ) I jess ripped de seams wid mah shears an' let him out: an' a mighty meek col uh ed man he was, too, an' nevah wasn't cross no moah, an' took off his shoes befoh he went to bed. It's jess as I ssy-yo' gotter manage a man."-Harper s Mag - azine._ - "I'd like to know why lt is," exclaimed the angry father to his in dolent son, "that you always stand at tho foot of your class io school?" "It's cause the teacher won't let me sit down," drawled the lazy youth. - "Dootor, I shall never forget that to youl owe my life." "Ob, no," said the doctor, mildly, "you only owe me for fifteen visits I made you during your illness." - "So he wants to marry you, eh?" demanded her father. "Do you know anything about his means?" "AU I know is that he means to marry me," replied the girl. - There are 7,400 members of the New York poliee force.

The Washington Relics. j A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun ^ from Washington says: The corres pondence between Senator Daniel of Virginia, and,*President McKinley, looking to the placing of the relics of . George Washington io the hands of George Washington Curtis Leo has aroused interest of those priceless treasures now io the Nctional Mu seum. In a collection of this sort it is almost impossible to seiest the most interesting, bnt perhaps the tents used by Washington during the Revolu tionary War appeal most strongly to the visitors to tuc uiuseum. Tue sleeping tent is of linen and a mar quee tent is of wool with a complete i iinen cover. They arc so well pre served that it is almost impossible to believe that they were made over 125 years ago, and that they passed through severe service. The style is ver muoh the same as that prevail ing to-day. The china is of that rioh old pattern whioh attracts the eye of the antiqu ary. Of all, the most conspicuous are the Cincinnalus pieces, which have a curious history with some mys tery attached. They were made in China, the decorations being largely on the border, but in the center of the design of an angel bearing thc arms of the Society of the Cincinnati, The ourious feature of this is that thc the Chinese should have knowu any thing about this society, then justin its infancy. Thc bill of lading calh for two sets, but it is not known foi whom either was imported. Washington, it appears, heard ol their arrival at Baltimore and sent ai agent to buy ono. No ono seems tc know what became of the others set. Other pieces in tho collection an associated with Martha Washington these belonging to a service said ti have been presented to her by th French officers who participated ii the Revolution. Thoy consist of i j largo plate, a small plate and a cu and saucer of whuc porcelain bearing the initials "M \V."' in a gold mo .0 gram in the eeutcr of odch piece. The border bearu the names of the 13 orig inal States in oval |incdallioo8 of green. These pieces are badly crack ed Another article belonging to the original First Lady of the Land is an iron treasure ehest, in which Mrs. Washington was wont to keep her jewels, papers and other valuable pos sessions. In the same case with this ure tho iron hall lantern from Mount Vernon and a pair of wrought iron andirons. The moBt valuable items ic the col lection aro t.vo Worcester vasos, 13} and 18 inches high respectively. Tiny are of the dark blue porcelain, relieved with gold and are decorated in O'Neal's best manner, with some of his celebrated animal paintings. A broken punoh bowl of Chinese porce lain, a large mirror and a few minor articles complete the Lee collection. - Uoe of tho laws of Texas imposes heavy linc and imprisonment on law yers who forment suits against railroads and other corporations, or who advance money to clients to secure such cisca. - Marry in haste and let your father-in-law repent at leisure.
