Grant Would Not Permit Defeated Con* federates to be Put to Death. Of all the stories told of Uly66es 8. Grant one of the mocjt remarkable is that related by Justice Wendell P. Stafford of the supreme court of the District of Columbia. Justice Stafford said that shortly after Lincoln's assassination Johnson told Grant he Intended' to execute alt Confederate officers and officials and that Grant turned him from his course by threatening to seize Washington with' his victorious army and proclaim martial law. "Not long after the death of LJn coin, Johnson summoned Grant to the White House," said the justice. "When they were alone he said, "I intend to fix it forever in the minds of the American people that secession is a crime.' Grant was silent. 'I intend to have all Confederate officers and officials put to a public death.' Grant did not speak. -When Johnson had finished iris harangne, which continued for a quarter of an hour, Grant rose in silence to take his leave. 'What do you mean to do?' said Johnson. "Then the quiet man made answer: 'I am -going back to the camp; 1 shall move' my army upon Washing ton.^ I shall proclaim martial law and take command. My reason for so do ing is this: I received the surrender of General Lee, which ended the war. That surrender put In my hands the life and safety ftf^every officer and of ficial on the Confederate side, and I hold myself In duty and honor bound to see that they are protected accord ing to the rules of war and' common | right. You <*n oommnnlcate." wlth me at my headquarters.' j! "Grant- returned to hla camp, Issued the necessary orders and wailed for the proclamation. He received word .that. Johnson had changed his mind. A victorious general refusing to re linquish his command and calling his | demoted legions to lift him to a throne |? 4hat is an old fiart oh the stage of history. But when before dfd a trl uuiphant chieftalit threaten to take power iuto his own bands for the sole purpose of seeing Justice (lone to a fallen foe?

Sunday Herald of Cork says there was on the Lusltanla 00 babies who were less than 12 months old and more than one hundred others, whose ages did not reach two years. They all have been drowned. The, babies were the talk pf the ship and everybody tried to look after tfyem when the time came. There are nu merous cases recorded where both pas sengersand crew ^stripped* themselves of their Own lifeboats to put around the little ones, but it was useless and about 160 of the Infants, It Is calculated, died from shock and exposure. They were afterward seen floating In- the wa ter with lifebelts .tied around their lit tle bodies, but they were past saving. Their mothers recovered conscious ness in the -rescuing boats only to flud that the little ones they were hugging to their bosoms were dead. One mother lost all of her three chil dren, one six years, oc? four and the third a babe in her arms, six months old. She herself lives. She held up the three of. them In the water all the .time shrieking for help. When res died" by a boat party the two elder I children were dead. Their room was as brave enough tc -onlize it "Give them to rne," she shrieked. "Give them to me, my bonnle . wee things, I will bury them. They aro mine to . bury as they- were mine to keep." .. With toer hair streaming down her back and her form, shaking with sor row, she took hold'1 of each little one from the rescuers and reverently plac ed. It lit -the -water again, and people in the boat wept with her as she mur mured a little sobbing prayer to the great God above. But her cop of sor row was not completed. Just as the rescuers were landing ,her third and only remaining child died in her arms. '? 1 -1-'? 7. -Sale to Continue.
