I fl ?? ? ? jTho last'tneeting b'ciwcb'uT^rbsiclent: Grant and 'Vice-Presi?ont Wilson is I thus described; Tho last meeting be tween President Grant and Vioe-Presi- j dent Wilson was on the day after tho Vice-President was originally .attack ed?Thursday, Nov. lith. The Presi dent, much to the surprise of many who lind supposed that Mr. Wilson's outspoken utterances on the third' terra question and his criticism of some of tho President's official acts had seriously impaired the friendly relations which had previously existed between them, visited the Vice-Prcsi deht at his room .at. tfic Capitol, lie wns met by Dr. Baxter, wlio,'pre ccding him, said to Mr. Wilson. 'Mr. Vice-Prcsidcnt, the President has come to sco you.' Mr. Wilson, with great effort, par tially raised himself on his elbows in the bod, when the Pr?sident advancing extended his baud, which Mr. Wilson grasped," the President saying:. 'Woll, how is the Vice-President? I am very sorry to find you ill.' The^'ice-Presi^ept replied: 'How do you. do, Mr. President? I ara glad to see your I am feeling somewhat easier to-daj'.' The President, who had meanwhile taken a sea it by tTie bed, then 5aid : iHow did this come about ? When wore you attacked? I just arrived from New York this morning,' The Vico-Prosideht then proceeded to narrate with considerable particu larity, but in.a low, feeble voice, the Kianncr in wheeh he was seized iu the Senate barber shop after taking a, warm bath, and tola how, when in New York, he underwent n severe surgical -opcialiuu,..the seating of t.he llesli over his spinal column between the shoulders with a white heated iron, und added: 'I imagine the oper ation had .something to do with hvy present prosit ration. Don't you, doctor?' 'Oh, no,' replied Dr. Baxter; 'it will undoubtedly have a ycry beneficial effect. The immediate cause was the warm bath,'which it was very impru dent in you to tnkc, I fear.' He ad ded, pleasantly turning to the Presi dent, 'the Viec-Presi'lent ate loo many good dinners in Now York. Conversation then turned on tho President's visit to JS'ewYork. lie staled that, J\e;wcnt there with Mrs. Grat|t, who -wautc&to do .someshop ping! and that his visit was one of business merely. He referred to the weather in New York as very fine' A pause ensuing in the conversation, the Vicc-Presidcnt asked : 'Do you hear from Nellie' (meaning Mrs. Snr tons) 'often?' 'Oh, yes,' replied the President; 'Her mother gcU a letter almost every wcek;?by every steamer. Mic writes long and very interesting letters. She writes with great facility.' The President remained about fif teen .minutes, when, taking up his hat and rising, he said : 'I hope you will be better soon, Mr. Vice-president. I will come up nguiu this evening or send up to see how you arc getting along.' 'Thank you, Mr. President,' said Mr. Wilson, again partially rising on his elbows. 'I nm obliged to you for your call.' Thi.i was tho last meeting between the President and the Vicc-Prcsidcut. i ??im .-^.-criBi i ,; A Buavu Captain.?A very cour ageous feat was performed by a Nor wegian captain named 1 lausen, in the latter' part of October, off tho coast of England. His bark,loaded with iron and deals, was badly iujurcd in a fear ful gale, and all her pumps were dis abled. A smack Came in sight, and Capt. Hanson's crow, not believing the vessel could live, left him. He re futed j to leave, hoping to got his .bark into IGrtmsby. Ho managed, all alone, to set tho foresail, and to light the side-lights and the binnacle light, antf then steered toward the west. He fell down several times from sheer weariness. ? Tho cabin was full of water] but ho finally succeeded iu get ting liis vessel into port. r What to Do with Tramps. : : Tho authorities of a city have sent a circulnr to the authorities of other cities, requoatlug them to meet in con vention to discuss the propor treat ment of tramps. Referring to this . an cxchaugo adds : The evil ie so large and so universally diffused, that the action of town or State authorities can alone grapple with it successfully; and the effort now being 'made to se cure uniform municipal legislation in tho mattor is a wise and necessary one. What is needed is to set tramps at work. No doubt, there is occasionally an1 honest and iudustrous man who becontfs a tramp because he cannot . lind work. It would be hard to refuse such a man the temporary relief which hcso.cly needs, but indiscrimi nate privato charily encourages a score of idle vagrants where it relieves one real case of suffering. The lion est tramp will glnd'y pay for food and lodging by work, and the lazy tramp, who discovers that he can no,longer livo on charity, will find the charm of profession gone. Let us have, in every town, ? relief committee of the town officials, who will turn no man away hungry, but who wi|l require tramps tu work out the full value of what they receive. In this way the tramp nuisance *can be speedily abol ished, householders can be saved from annoyance aud danger, while no .in justice will bo done to tho deserving poor, 'lhc experiment has been en tirely successful. . The uniform^action of all tho towns in the country, how ever, is needed before the tramp nui sance can be finally and effectually suppressed. Where the Sun Does Not Set. A scene witnessed by spine travelers in the north of .Norway, from a cliff elevated a thousand feet above the sea, is thus described: ? At our feet the ocean stretched away in silent vuslncss; the sound oi' its waves scarcely reached our airy lookout; away in the north; the huge old sun swung low along the horizon, like tho slow beat of the pendulum in the tall clock of our grandfather's parlor corner. We all stood silent, locking at our watches. When both hands came together at twelve, mid night, tho full round orb hung" triumphantly above the waves, a bridge of gold running due. north, spanning the water between us and him. There lie shone in silcnti^ajes- ? ty, w&chiUknfew 1 nr>r settihg. ' $rV involuntarily took off our hats; no word was said. Combine, if you can, the incest brilliant sunrise and sunset you ever saw, and tho beauties will pale before the gorgeous coloring which now lit up ^thc ocean, heaven and mountain. In half on hour the sun had swung up perceptibly on his bent, the colors changed to those of morning, a fresh breeze rippled ovor the flood, one songster after another piped up in tho grove behind us?we had slid into another day: Von Moltke's Strategy.?Count Moltke, says a London writer, on a recent visit to Rostock, returning homo l?te ono night, was unable to find his way to his lodgings. lie thought-ovcr various schemes for fiud ing out the rond without betraying who he was. ntfd at last hit upon the following device: Ho went up to a man who appeared to bo a native of the town, and inquired, in the broad local dialect 'of the neighborhood : 'Cau you tell mc where'Count Moltke is staying?' 'That I eun,'replied tho man in ..tho same tone, 'he is staying in tho large houso opposite tho school in the next street to this.' 'Yes/ ic turncd the count, 'that's just what I thought myself,' and he returned to his lodgings delighted with the suc cess of his stratagem. Gmef that Kills.?In one of tl.o cars of a Portland train, tho Argus says, was a beautiful young lady dressed in tho deepest mourning who was taking home tho dend body of her mother, which was forward in the baggage car. Suddenly tho girl s^raugj'?p^ ih-':lieit ;?ent and began Bh()uUlig-^''Murd(^I inuider!" :?ovT oral of the-pasaeugers at ouco rushed to her, but fo?ndUlJat Jior- reason had left her'and sho was a raving lunatic, doubtless caused fey excess pf sorrow. She was borne frqiri the orowdetl^car. straggling vi?leritlyj and it required tho united exertions of sevdral men to restrain her from, doing violence eith er to herself or tq^jthers, till tho strain arrived at a place where she could be1 safely confined. { -? v,'-? Tue Wine.?*A-t a Kentucky din ner, and bctwppn the sherry nnd ehnmpagno, to wliic^ period the en fant terrible oi?tho family had been unfortunately permitted to linger, the 'host had gone.jbj), praising his qwn wine in a.fashion winch was certaihJy an evidence of its intoxicating quali ties : '"That sherry, sir, cost me sixty dollars a dozen.' I bought it at the auction of tho.. Emperor Napoleon's wines, and imported it myself." "Wy, papa,"iiiterrupted the enfant, "that was alHgonc long ago, and mamma filled the bottles iip from that California keg), Sho said you never had any friends who could tell the difference." 'I , The other ,day a young man, de cidedly incbrrated, walked into the executive chamber und asked for the governor. " Vyhat do you want with him?' inquired the secretary. 'Oh, I want an oflitje with a good salary?a sinecure.' 'Well,' replied the secre tary, 'I can toll you something better for you thaii. 'a cinOcure?you had better try a water-cure.' A new idea seemed to stjeike the young man, and he vanished.' The Stat(& of South Carolina, iffy- ? < ' OB^^featviK.?. cjouxrrrv, By AUG. B.
