BRIDOEPORT, CONN., August 29.
Horace Greeley, in passing through this city,
was greeted by a vast impromptu crowd,
which be addressed as follows:
This great gathering ! receive as something
which forty years of active and earnest life
may possibly have In some measure invited,
bat which I did not anticipate. Allow me.
then, when I receive its evidence of personal
good-will and some measure of confidence, to
make a single remark with reference to one
aspect of the great struggle now gol og on in
our country. Strategy in politics lo the tribute
which cralt pays to strength-the wolfskin
proving too short, the foxes tail is pressed
into service to piece lt out. [Laughter and
cries ] Tou see at this day a great party
straggling to avert defeat by distracting and
breaking up the host which ls opposed to lt.
Toni would not bave Federal officeholders
working so hard to get up a third ticket ll
they did not feel suretnat between two tickets
already In field the verdict was against them.
[Cheers, and cbles of right, old noss.] The
effort, thea, to distract tbe host on our side ls
a confession of despair, and as such we re?
ceived. The confession remains, and the
despair ls not likely to pass away. [Applause. ]

WORCESTER, MASS., August 29.
The Republican Stale Convention, in see
sion here Unlay, renominated Governor Wm.
B. Washburn and the rest of the present State
officers except the lieutenant-governor, in
whose place they Dominated Thomas Talbott,
the defeated Republican-candidate in 1871 for
mayor of Boston. B. F. Butler received 259
votes out of 950 cast. The platform adopted !
to-day accepts and ratifies the platform aud ;
nominations ol the Philadelphia Convention; ;
eulogizes the national administration for its ,
home and foreign policy; declares that the
treatment of the Southern Slates during and :
since the war has been characterized by un- !
parallelled moderation,clemency and magnan?
imity. It repudiates the pretensions of the !
Democratic party and its recent "recruits,"
and declares that the statement that they are
partisans of a new policy of reconciliation is
utterly disproved by the record of the past
twelve years, and ls an unworthy attempt for
the sake of supposed political advantage to
fasten reproach upon the fair tame of the
country.
The West Virginia Election-Jacobs
Elected and the.Constitution Adopted. I
WHEELING, August 23.
The Intelligencer says corrected reports
from forty-six counties, most of them official,
give Governor Jacobs a majority of 3206. Re
portaron the adoption of the constitution from
forty-one counties give a majority of '090 for
ratification. Eight counties are yet to be
heard from on governor, and thirteen on the
constitution. The Intelligencer estimates that .
this will reduce Jacobs'* majority to 2500 and i
increase tbe majority for tbe const lunion 2000. i

CROPS IN THE STATE.
The Abbeville Medium says: "The late rains
have been very hurtful to the cotton crops in
various portions ol our county, producing
rust."
Tbe Aiken Journal says : "The corn crop
throughout the county is generally good.
Everybody bas got t0 picking colton. The
crop in thia section is taking the rust badly."
The Abbeville banner says: "From all sec?
tions ol our district we hear tho most favora?
ble reports of the growing croi s. The crops
of cation and corn are both good. The cotton
is maturing raploiy. and the fields are whiten?
ing for the harvest."
The Camden Journal says: "The preva?
lence ot rust in this vicinity bas caused cot?
ton to open very freely, though this disease
has materially reduced tho quantity of the
?leld. About twenty-five bales ot new cotton
ave been BO far received in this market this
season, and we quote the price yesterday as
ranging Irom 18 to 19 cents per pound."
The Sumter Watchman says: "Cotton is
opening with unnsal rapidity. It is thought
that fatly one-third of the crop of this section
ls now ready for picking. Rust prevails in
?ery many places, and the growth ot the weed
on all such has entirely ceased. With favora^

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
The Victim an Infirm and Venerable
Ladr-Tbc Crime Enveloped In Mys?
tery-Suspicion Directed Against the
.Vc;>hew and Heir of the Murdered
IVoman.
Baltimore is excited Just now over a mur?
der which is enshrouded In impenetrable
mystery. The Gazette gives the following
r?sum? of the facts as far as ihey are known:
Mrs. Amelia Wheat waa an old lady ot
eighty years, residing nearly on the extreme
limits ot the city, at No. 66-1 West Lombard
street, a few doors above Mount street. She
was possessed of considerable wealth, and
her heir was understood to be her nephew,
Jesse Upper-cue, a young man twenty-two
years of age, a graduate ot St. John's College,
and a student ot law in the office of John P.
Poe, Esq., who, with bis mother and sis?
ter, resided in the same house. About
two o'clock yesterday morning the sharp
report ola pistol-shot was heard in the room
of Mrs. Wheat. The cry of murder was raised
by young Uppercue, from the front door, and
upon an inspection ot the chamber in which
Mrs. Wheat slept, her body was found lying on
the bed, with a pistol shot through th? temple.
She had apparently died calmly, and without
a struggle. The room was in disorder. The
only statement purporting to give a clue to
the murder is that of young Uppercue him?
self. According to his declaration, he
was in his usual apartment, in the sec?
ond story, next to that of his aunt,
when she called him to come Into her room,
and remain there, saying that she felt ner?
vous. He complied with her request, and fell
asleep. He was awakened by the report ol the
pistol; perceived the form of a man retreat?
ing from the room, and followed him, firing
two shots irom his revolver at bim, without
apparent effect From this statement the
theory would be formed that robbers bad
broken ia the house, and were the perpetra?
tors of the crime. The testimony before the
jury goes to discredit, to some extent, this
supposition. An examination of the kitchen
door, through which the robbers are said to
have entered, resulted in a distinct and une
qulvocal opinion from the officers who were
on the premises, that the door had not been
forced from the outside. Suspicion, we re
fret to say. has fallen upon young Uppercue.
he jury wno heard the testimony, nevertne
less, have not though', it sufficiently BtroDg to
warrant a verdict against him. His previous
good character, the affection his aunt enter
tamed for him, and the contradictory nature
of the evidence, so far elicited, are In his
favor. There is also the further fact that
there appears to have been a iamlly ieud, in
which young Uppercue was involved, result?
ing from the partiality shown by Mrs. Wheat
for him, and which may have tlii??d the tes?
timony of some of the witnesses. A day or
two will probably clear up much that ls now
obscure, and enable the public to fi rm a bet?
ter Judgment as to the guilty paity or parties.

the army worm ns mere thorough and disas?

eaten away the leaves and lorens until the j
fields are as bare as after a killing frost. The f

Fears of almost universal bankruptcy among
the planters are entertained. No one expectB

A REMINISCENCE OF '76.
WASHINGTON AS A. HUSBAND AND A
PATRIOT.
An Intercepted Letter to Urs. Washing,
ton-Inner Lire In the Revolutionary
Days.
Ia the "Craftsman." an English newspaper
bearing date January 3, 1778, ls printed the
following letter from General Washington to
bis wife. It never reached her hands, having
been intercepted by the British authorities
but it contains matter of peculiar interest, as
showing the inner lite of the Patriot amid the
most trying scenes of the Revolution :
JUNE 24, 177G.
To Mrs. Washington-My Dearest Life and
Love : You have hurt me, I know not how
much, by the Information In your last, that
my letters to you have lately been less fre?
quent because I have felt less concerned for
you. The suspicion IB most unjust; may I not
add, lt ls most unkind ? Have we lived, now
almost a score ot years. In the closest and
dearest conjugal Intimacy, to so little purpose
that, on an appearance ot inattention to yon,
and when you mlgni nave accounted for me lu
a thousand* ways more natural and more prob?
able, you should pitch upon that single mo?
tive which alone is Injurious to me? I have not,
I own, wrote so often to you as I wished, and
as I ought. But think oi my situation, and
then ask your heart If I be without ex?
cuse. We are not, my dearest, In circum?
stances the most favorub'e to our happiness;
but let us not, I beseech you, idly make them
worse by indulging suspicions and aprehen
slous, which minds In distress are but too apt
to give way to. I never was, os you have
often told me, even In my better and more
disengaged day, so attentive to the little punc?
tilios of friendship as, lt may be, become me,
Out my heart tells me there never was a mo?
ment in my life, since I first knew you, In
which I did not cleave and cling to you with
the warmest affection, and lt must cease to
seat ere lt can cease to wish fer your happi?
ness above anything on earth. I congratulate
von most cordially on the fair prospects ol
recovery of your amiable daughter-in-law;
nor can I wonder that this second loss of a
lttle one should effect you. I lear the latiguee
if a Journey and the perpetual agitations of
i camp were loo much for her. They are,
lowever, both young and healthy, so that
here can be little doubt oi their Boon repalr
ng the IOBS. And now will my dearest love
permit me, a little more earnestly than I have
iver yet done, to press you to consent to that
io necessary, so safe, so easy, though so
Ireadful a thing, the being Innoculated ? It
vas always advisable, but at this Juncture it
teems to be almost absolutely necessary. I
tm far (rom being sure that that reckless
madman, our quondam Governor, from the
nero lust of doing mischief, will not Boon be?
take himself to carrying on a predatory war
n onr rivers. And as Potomac will cer
ainly be thought most favorable for his pur?
poses, as affording him scope to keep within
;he reach of annoyance, I have little reason to
latter myself that It would not be particular
y pleasing to him to vent his spite at my
louse. Let him; it would affect me as it
night affect you, and for this reason among
piners, I wish you out ol his reach. Yet I
.hink I would not have you quit your
pouse professedly from an apprehen?
sion of a visit from him. An appearance of
[earfulneBS and timidity even In a woman of
ny family might have a bad effect; but I must
pe something more or less than man not to
ivUh yon out of danger which, to say the least,
must be dlsgreeable to yon and could do no
?ood to any one. All this mukes for your go?
ng lo Ph il adel ph ?a, a p'ioe ot perfect se
jurlty; and it would be almost worth while
o be inocculated, If It were only for the fair
pretence lt furnishes you with quitting Vir
tinta, at a time when I could not but be ex
ieedlngly uneasy at your remaining In lu
Jut I flatter myself any further arguments
viii be unnecessary when I shall add, as I now
lo, that, HU you have had the small-pox, anx
ously as else I should wish for lt, I never
?an think of consenting to your passing the
?liner here In quarters with me. I would
lave Lud Washington Immediately remove
di the unmarried and suspicious of the
daves to the quarters In Frederick. The har?
vesting must be got in by hirelings. Let him
ceep any large slock of grain trod oui, especl
illy at the mill or within the reach of water
ferriages; and, In particular, let BB Utile as
nay be left at Clifton's quarters. It will not
pe too late even In the first week of July lo
low the additional supply ol hemp and flax?
seed which Mr. biffin has procured for me In
Philadelphia, and which I hope will be with
,'ou before this letter. For obvious reasons
jon will not sow lt on the leland, nor by the
waler Bide. But I hope you will have a good
;rop on the Ohio. If Brldgey continues refrac?
tory and riotous, though I know you can 111
spare him, let him by all means be sent off, as
[ hope CuBtls's boy Joe already Is. for his sauci?
ness at Cambridge. My attention ls this mo?
ppen t called off to the discovery, or pretended
ilscovery. of a most wild and daring plot. It
s Impossible as yet to develop the mystery in
which lt either IB or ls not supposed to be in?
volved. This much only I find out, with
les ou both sides. No doubt lt will
nake a good deal of noise In the conn
ry; and there ore some who think it
iseful to have the minds ol the people kept
ionlinually on the tret by rumors of this sort.
For my part I, who am said to be the object
principally aimed at In lt, lind myself perfectly
it my ease, and I have mentioned it io you
pnly from an apprehension that, hearing lt
rom others and not Irom me, you might im
iglne-I was in the midst of danger that I knew
lot ol. Tne perpetual solicitude of your poor
peart about me Is certainly highly Haltering to
ne, yet I should be happy to be able to quiet
pour [ears. Why do you complain of my re?
serve, or how could you imagine thal I dis?
trusted either your prudence or fidelity ? I
nave the highest opinion of ihem both. But
wiry should I tease you with ledlous details of
schemes and views which are perpetually
varying, and which, therefore, might not . im?
probably mislead when I mean to inform you?
suffice lt that I say, what I have often before
told you, that as far as I have control of ihem,
ill our preparations aim only al peace. Neither
lo I at this moment see the least likelihood
pi there being any considerable military
pperatlou this season; and if not this season,
:ertalnly lo no other. It is impossible to sup?
pose that in the leisure and quiet of winter -
quarters men will not have the virtue to lis?
ten io the dictates of plain common sense and
sober reason. The only true interest ol both
sides ls reconciliation; nor can there be a
point In the world clearer than that boih
sides must be losers by the war, In a manner
which even peace will not compensate for.
iVe muBtat last agree and be friends, for we
cannot live without them, and they will not
without us; and a bystander might well be
puzzled to find out wh;, as good terms cannot
pe given and taken now os when we shall
lave well-nigh ruined each other by the mu?
tual madness of cutting one another's throats,
for all these reasons, which cannot but be
is obvious to the English commissioners, and
jurs, as they are to me, I am at a IOBS to
maglne how anything can arise lo obstruct a
?egotlation, and ol consequence a piciilca
Jon.
You, who know my heart, know that there
s not a wish nearer to it than this ls; but I nm
prepared for every event, one only excepted ;
: mean a dishonorable peace. Hither than
.hat, let me, though lt be with the loss of
sverything else I hold dear, continue this
torrid trade, and by the most unlikely means
>e ihe unworthy instrument ol preserving
political security and happiness to them as
veil os to ourselves. Pity Lilla cannot be ac
iompllshed without fixing on me the sad name
.ebel. I love my king; you know I do; a sol
lier, a good man, cannot but love him. How
peculiarly hard, then, is our fortune to be
leemed traitors to so good a king ? But I am
lot without hopes that even he will yet see
iutise to do me Justice; posterity I am sure will.
Meanwhile, I comfort myself with the reflec
ion that this hos been the lute of the best and
pravest men. even of ihe barons who obtained
H agu a Churla, while ihe dispute was de?
pending. This, however, anxiously as I wish
or lt, la not mine to command; I see my duty,
hat of Btandlog up for the liberties ol my
?ountry, and whatever difficulties and dlscour
igements be in my way, I cannot shrink from
i ; and I rely on that Being who ha3 not left
is io the choice of duties; that while I con?
scientiously discharge mine I Bhall not Anally
ose my reward. Il I really am a bad man, I
shall not long be so set down. Assure your?
self I will pay all possible attention to your
recommendations. But happy as I am In an
opportunity of obliging you, even in the small
eat things, take lc not amiss that I use the
freedom with you to whisper In your ear to be
sparing ot them. You know how I am cir?
cumstanced; hardly the promotion of a subal?
tern ls left to me, and tree and Independent
as I am, I resolve to remain so.
I owe ibe Congress no obligation for per?
sonal favors done to myself; nor will I ran in
debt to them for favors to others. Besides, I
am mortified to bave to ask of them what, in
sound policy (If other motives had been want?
ing) they ought to have granted to me un?
asked. I cannot describe to you the incon?
venience this army suffered for want' of this
confidence being given to Its commander-in
chief.
But as these might be increased, were my
peculiar situation in this respect generativ
known, I forbear, only enjoying your cautious
alienee on this head. In a regular army our
Virginia young men would certainly, in gene?
ral, make the best officers; bat I regret that
they have not now put in my power Justly to
Say them thia compliment. They dislike their
orthern allies; and this dislike is the source
of infinite mischief and vexations to me. In
the many disputes and quarrels of this sort,
which we have bad, one thing has particularly
struck me. My countrymen are not Inferior
In understanding, and are certainly supe?
rior in that distinguished spirit and high sense
ot honor which should form the character of I
an officer, yet, somehow or other, lt iorever f
happens tint they are in the wrong, and they
expect of me attention and partialities which
lt ls not in my power to show them. Let me |
rely that your answer to this will bo dated in
Philadelphia. If lam not verv busily en?
gaged, (which I hope may not be the case,)
perhaps I may find ways and means lo pay j
you a visit in a day or two; bnt this I rather ?
hint as what I wish, than what I dare bid you
expect. If yon still think the fragments of the
set ot grays I bought of Lord Botelourt une?
qual to the Journey, let Lad Washington sell
them, singly or otherwise, as he can to th?
best advantage, and purchase a new set ol' |
bays. I could, as you desire, get them here,
and, perhaps, on better terms, but I bave a |
notion, whether well or Ill-founded I know
not, that they never answer well in Virginia.
I beg to be affectionately remembered to all
our friends and relatives, and that you will
continue to believe me to be your most faith?
ful and tender husband, O. W.
THE SMALL-POX IX PHILADELPHIA.
The pmall-pox, which bas made such fearfu
ravages In Philadelphia and New York, and
bas had its season also in Ballimore, seems to J
have practically disappeared from the Atlantic
Stales. Of the disease in Philadelphia, where
lt raged, with such fatal effect, the Record, ol' |
that city, says :
Perhaps the most striking fact in our mortu?
ary record for the past week is that but one
death occurred from small-pox. We may now,
therefore, safely claim that the disease, as an
epidemic, Is ended in Philadelphia, for this
city, like most other large cities, is never
wholly without small-pox. If we take the
records for the last fifty years-that ls to say,
from 1823 to 1872, Inclusive-we shall find that
not a single year was free from deaths bv
small-pox. In 1859 there wero bat two, and
In 162G but three; In all other years there were
over thirty-five deaths per aunum from small?
pox. Hence we may confidently declare that
the ordinary condition of the city regarding
small-pox has been restored.
The past twelvemonth bas witnessed by all
odds the most terrible volution of small-pox
ever known to our city. The disease took its
rise just about a year ago, with the week be?
ginning September 2, when one death was re?
ported; the next week there were s<x, and so
the disease went on gathering strength uni II
Its visitations began io be numbered at more
than thirty a day, or two hundred and twenty
and two hundred and thirty per week. At
last, with the coming of warmer weather, its
power seemed lo be exhausted, and a steady
decline was noticed down to. the past week,
when a solitary death waa reported, thus
almost completing the terrible twelvemonth
precisely aa lt began.
Exactly bow many victims to smaU-pox must I
be reckoned for this fatal and unprecedented
year the official facts will in due time set lort n.
During 1871 the small-pox mortality was 1879,
the greater part of which occurred within
three months, or even within two. During
the present year the deaths from small-pox
have probably numbered about 2700; nr, let in
say, In round numbers, 4600 dealhs in our ch y
from this single cause during the post twelve
months. The highest absolute small-pox mor?
tality ever previously known here was In 18G1,
when lt reached 758, while in 18G5 lt was 521.
WOMAX AXD MARRIAOE.
[Prom Blackwoods Magazine.]
Every woman with any romance or mag?
nanimity has, so far as she contemplates mar?
riage for herself merely In tho abs'ract, an
ideal, or some vague assemblage of high quali?
ties which stands for such. She can only
suppose herself voluntarily linking lier fate
with another, if that other la a man excep
tionably good or noble, or, at least, distin?
guished among his fellows. At al events, he
must be something quite above the common
ron of men about her. The typical old maid
baa had this ideal, and been faithful to it; lt |
may be for want of adequate temptation to
inconstancy. Some women-the charming
woman for example-have not been allowed
to keep their Ideal. They have lost sight ol
lt In finding themselves the ideal ot some one
else. Our typical vestal has never been a
charin lng woman, though she may have many
excellent gifts and grace.?. Women are so
made, happily for men, that gratitude, pity,
the exquisite pleasure of pleasing, the sweet
surprise of finding themselves necessary to
another's happiness (or being flattered into
the notloD,) altogether obscure and confuse
the Judgment ; they either forget their Ideal al?
together, or think they have lound It in the '
very commonplace mortal who is their choice.
But to some women this does not happen. The
natural Instinct to please ls not strong in them.
They only care to please where their taste
and Judgment approve, and their manner ls
cold and indifferent in general society. There
Is a French proverb compounded of resigna?
tion and worldly policy, whloh representa thc
submission and destiny of the attractive
woman: Quand on n'a pas ce qu'on anne il
faut aimer ce qu'on a. lt is not thu the
other ls deliberately Inattractive, but she
recognizes no necessity. She does not want |
to please out of her plane of sympathies and
the alternative has no terror tor her. In fact,
Bhe has foreseen that a single life is her prob- i
able destiny. It ls not at all necessary that
this attractiveness should have to do with a
conscious want ol beauty, A beautiful
woraa?, as far as color and outline constitute
beauly-but falling in bewitching qualities
may repel admiration by Indifference, and
live to glorify the sisterhood to which her
manner devotes her; but lt is the woman of I
common place exterior and sensitive mind
that is most commonly led alone with lier
Ideal. We believe lhat almost any woman
who ls not what ls called "particular" may
marry if she chosen; that ls, if fha does not
speculate upon herself, or share the world's |
unfavorable view of her personal pretensions.
THE SWEETEST MOMEXT IX LOVE
MAKIXG.
"Perhaps thsre ls no period," says Anthony
Trollope, "so pleasant among all the pleasant
periods of love-making as. that lo which the
intimacy between lovers Is so assured, und the
coming event so near, as to produce and en?
dure conversa ion about the ordinary little
matters of life; what can be done with the
ilmlied means at their disposal; how that life
shall be begun whloh they shall lead together;
what idea each has of the other's duties; what
each can do for the other. There was a true
sense ol the delight of intimacy in the girl
who declared that she never loved her lover
so well os when she told him how many pairs
of stockings she had got. It ls very sweet to
gaze at the stars, and lt is sweet to sit out
among the haycocks. The reading of poetry
together, out of the same book, wlih brows
all close, and arms all mingled, Is very sweet;
the pouring out of whole hearts In writing
words, which the writer knows would be held
to be ridiculous by anybody but the dear one to
whom they are sent, is very sweet; but for the
f'lrl who has made a shirt for the man she
oves, there bas come a moment in the last
stitch of lt sweeter than any stars, haycock,
poetry, or superlative epithets have pro?
duced."
THE DRUNKEN CANDIDATE.
THE PRIVATE POT.HOVSE IN THE
CITY OF WASHINGTON.
The Endeavors of tike Lamented Haw.
linga tc Keep Grant Sober-How the
Gi rr- rake r, when General, Spent Hie
Nights at the Capital-Unfit to Lead
His Army.
To the Editor oj the New York Sun :
Sm-The world will never fully know how
much Grant was Indebted to John A. Rawlings
for his successes lo the held, In politics and
in obtaining the high office of President. The
poor man ls dead, and lt has been truly said
that when be died Grant lost his brains. Raw.
lings was Grant's compass. Since his death
Grant has lived a comparatively loose life, has
had no system in his private affairs or the
public concern. Rawlings led Grant through
ali his troubles In the West. He got him
sober after Shiloh, when President Lincoln
wrote Grant to stop drinking. Rawlings, by j
great watchfulness, managed to keep Grant
sober for abont a year up to the time when he
reached Washington to assume command as
general'ln-cblef of the army. There he fell in
with Borne of his old companions. He spent
much of his time there In private rooms, and
renewed his old drinking habits. '
THE RENDEZVOUS.
Their principal rendezvous was directly op?
posite Willard's Hotel, in Pennsylvania ave?
nue. It was run chiefly by a United States j
Benator and a quartermaster in the army. A
gay old set of boys inhabited that ranche.
Home of the mOBt gallant and distinguished
officers in the army and the ablest officers in
the civil government, from the Executive j
down, were among the frequenters there.
Many were mere callers or sitters, so te speak;
others tarried all night. It was no uncommon
thing for frequenters of the hotel and resi?
dents of the neighborhood to see lights In their
rooms until near morning, and to hear the
bacchanalian harangues aud laughter therein;
and those who were among the night birds or
Washington frequently saw Grant and his
friends wending tDelr way from the place in
the gray hours of the morning. Sometimes
Grant and his friends had their Jollifications in
bis rooms in Willard's Hotel. He liked to
visit (he office of that home and get behind
the screen to take a quiet tod with Chadwick,
the bummer landlord of the hotel at that'time.
GARD PLAYING AND DRINKING.
' Ono of Grant's particular friends told me a ?
good story about him with reference to his
liable In Washington lust alter he was made
gene ral-la-chief, and Just before be took the
?eld to go to Richmond. Grant's family was
in Philadelphia and he was at Willard's Hotel
in Washington. He occupied a Iront room on
the second floor above the office. Alter din- J
ner, with three friends, Grant took to his
room and they spent the night in card play*
log and drinking.' Daylight next morning
found them at the oard table, all well set up,
although, os my informant stated ll, they felt
as though they could not Bet up much longer.
Grant was the worse for wear, and on his ac?
count mainly they determined to withdraw
and let him go to bed, which he proceeded to
do. Before they went he was sound asleep,
and the last one out locked tbe door and took
the key to tbe office.
THK PRESENT-TAKER LOOKED IN.
About two o'clock in the afternoon, one of
the party thought bj? would call up and see
whether the general had slept long enough.
Going to the room he found it deserted. He
Inquired ol Ure chambermaid whether she
knew when the gentleman who occupied that
room went out. She replied that, at about
eleven o'clock In the forenoon, abe beard rap?
ping, but could not distinguish exactly where
lt was until she discovered the face of General
Giant looking out over tbe transom, saying j
that he was locked. in, and asking her to let
him out. She suld she unlocked the door, and
the general with his little bag and characteris?
tic reticence, quietly walked away without so
much as "I thank you."
THK DISAPPEARANCE OF "HIRAM.
The General was Immediately the object of |
search. Hin ti lend was a little worried about
him, as ids condition that morning was not
encouraging; so be Inquired at the office of j
the hotel. They knew nothing whatever of
his whereabouts. A call was made at private |
quurters, opposite willard's, on the avenue.
The General had not been there. The friend
in search of the General, learning that be was
not at head quine rs nor at tbe War Office, and
knowing that Grant knew too much to go to
the White House in his condition, determined
to go to tbe depot and Inquire for him. Dpon
doing so, he ascertained that the General qui?
etly Jumped on board tbe noon train for Phila?
delphia, where be turned up in safety. This
little Btory snows how Grant spent many of |
his days and nights between the time of hie
arrival in Washington from the West and
when he assumed command ol the army and
went to the front.
CUANOINd FOR THE WORSE.
Prom the time he reached Washington his
habits changed for the worse. This was very
much du? to the tact that besides visiting the
rendezvous referred to, he was thrown much
Into society, and was irequently invited lo
dinners and banquets, wuere wines and
liquors flowed In abundance. Not being in
the Held, he released iilmsell Iromall restraint
and drank freely. What he drank in society
would not have damaged him much, because
there he WUP supplied with the bust ot' pure
liquors. Hts irregular babita and all-nlxht
revelry at the card table, consuming rank
hotel whiskey, contributed to destroy his
energies aud place him hors de combat fre?
quently on his march to Richmond and the
Appomalox. But tor Meade and Hancock,
and Warren and Sheridan, and Butler, aa im?
mediate directors ol military operations in tho
field, and the brave, clear-headed and sensible
Rawlings at headquarters to do the mental
work, write or dictate the orders and see that
thoy were executed, we should never have
heard ol Lee's surrender to Grant.
WHO WON HIS VICTORIES.
His gallant comrades have olten told bow
the gallant Hancock personally led his coros
In action at Spottsylvanla Courthouse, repuls?
ing the advancing enemy, and saving the
army ol (he Potomac from a disgraceful sur?
prise and rout, while Grant was in his tent,
not only Ignorant ol what was going on, bul I
In an untie condition to show himself, and in?
capable of givlDg an order.
Again, at Cold Harbor, because he had over?
powering numbers, looking rather to his own
early success than to the economy of life in
his army, he rashly ordered murderous and
unmllltary charges to be made against tbe
well disciplined and ingeniously scattered and
manoeuvred lines ol the Confederate sharp
shooters. Only when warned by some of his
generals that the men would not charge again,
and that be bad belter make a flank move?
ment, be followed their advice, wnlch proved
auncesslul.
But for the engineering of such men as
Meade and Hancock In the field, and the
genius and foresight of a Rawlings lu camp,
Warren and Sheridan and Custer and Stone
man, and the host 01 other brave commanders,
Grant would never have wrought out the
great final victory which culminated at Appo?
mattox. H.

How TO DRESS THE HAIR.-A Saratoga
correspondent gives this chapter on iiair, im?
parted to him by a lady lriend:
Every lady ls crazy about the mode class?
ique. The Greeley corner caugnt lt first, and
yesterday alternoon Jenny Wood, the pretty
hair-dresser here, had almost every lady in
the bouse alter her. Wnat Is wonderful, the
high-hair mania has started with the dressy
married ladies. Tue young ladles don't seem
to know or care anything about lt. In fact,
Hie young ladies are leaving al! tue dressing
here this year to their stylish mothers. No?
body knows what lo call the Bew style, but It's
got io come. The "Dolly Vardens" started
here in Saratoga two years ago, and so did the
"Grecian Bena," and now the new high-hair
styles is coming in vogue. It should not be
called the mode classique, but rather the mode
renaissance, for the ladies whose heads are
dressed alter lt look as If they had Just stepped
from a cut cameo of 1600, or from a portrait I
painted. In the renaissance period
