4 Man Who Looks Like General Grant.
A Funny Incident.

We sympathize with our respected fell
lowtownsman, Colonel Strong, who,
on the occasion of the Presidents funcr-
al in Philadelphia, found himself more
conspicuous than was pleasant. 1t seems
that, in company with three officers, he
was riding in a barouche, about ten rods
in the rear of the funeral car, when the
crowd took him for General Grant and
kept calling out, "Thcrc's Grant! there's
Grant!" The women lifted up their
children TO see him; men ran up to the
carriage to look him in the face, and it
became such a nuisance that the Colonel
kept telling them ait wasn't Grant;
Grant was not there" They replied,
You can't fool us, General" One fell
low said: have seen you too often ut
the front" The Colopel having on a
cape which concealed his uniform threw
it off, so that the crowd could see the
eagles and be convinced that he was not
Grant, then they shouted, "Hc has rot
on ColOnei's coat to fool U.S." One re-
spectacle looking man rushed up TO The
carriage, looked him square in the face,
and then sung out, !" Ii il him there IS
no mistake about it / have seen him
often" Colonel s. told him that he was
mistaken, and got for an answer, You
can't deceive me, General; you will have
TO put on something beside u Colonets
coat to do that Colonel Strong then
told them that he was wounded officer,
but it was Of no use. They crowded
around the carriage, hung OH it, and the
people along the street in the civic pro-
| cession that faced the curb stone took
off their hats; and finally, after ii had
spread down the line in front that Grant
was coming in n carriage, (thc other Off
thnan in m, nd nf
were on foot; the Colonel and company
being in a carriage gave little consis.
tcncy to the report), it became such
nuisance, and was creating so much dis
turbance, as some unthinling fellows
several times started "Thrce cheers for
General Grant!n that IL was very em-
barrassing. One of the marshals of the
day rode up to the carriage, and, touch
ing the Colonel on the shoulder, said
General, come to the Continental as
soon as you are through" The matter
became so bad, finally, that Colonel s.
ordered the driver to turn out and leave
the procession, and he tried several
times and could not on account of the
crowd. Finally, he called several po-
licemen, who cleared the way, and he
drove from the procession, hundreds
following the carriage and crying -
.'Sit i'S So.s! tiieic nc goes. I1e
is in that carriage.' The carriage was
again stopped, and the Colonel told them
he was not Grant, and they must go
away, as he did not want to create such
a disturbance. One fellow stepped up
and said, Well, General, shake hands
with me and | will go away. l have
seen you at the front too often, and you
can't disguise yourself!n
This incident occurred exactly as
above.

WAS IT PRoFANE?--A gentleman
from the interior Of the State relates to
US the following incident, to which he
was an eye witness:
At the village of Alton, Union coun-
~, Iowa, when the news of the assassi-
nation of the President was received, a
meeting of the citizens of that place
was called, and, after stirring sermon
by q minister Of the PRESBYTERIAN de-
nomination, IA Methodist clergyman Of
fered patriotic and thrilling prayer.
in the course Of which he PRAYED that
" the assassins might be detected and
punished in this world or If they es-
capped capture here, that they might be
punishedan the world to come. 4 good
brother In the body Of the church re-
spondcd TO this sentiment by n hearty
amen kneeling beside the last
named parsonage (fOr the entire eongre-
cation were on their knees was a f,l-
nous cattle dealer, who occasionally in
dulges in the tallest kind Of "cuss
words" Carried away by the fervor of
the prayer and the excitement of the
OCCASION, the cattle dealer capped the
brothers amen by the unconscious cX-
clamation "givc 'cm Hell!n II was
not until after the meeting had dispers-
cd, and he was taken to task for his
profanity, that he was aware of having
uttered single word. The minister af-
terwards said that "his prayers had of
ten been responded to i'm various ways,
but never before in quite that style. -

Corbett, who shot Booth, is well
known i'm this city. He was constant
attendant at the Fulton Street Meeting,

part frequently, and in his prayers was
in the habit of adding "er' to all his
words, as, "Oh, Lord-er, hcar-er our
prayer-cr. When anything pleased
him he would shout "Amen," "Glory
to God" in sharp shrill voice, to the
great horror of the Dutchman who con-
trolls the meeting. All remonstrance
was in vain and he shouted to the very
last. He enlisted i'm the 18th regiment,
and made conscience his guide there. -
He was perpetually in hot water because

science rather than the military order.

Sanitary Fair, wrote to Gen. Sherman

sumption-mortgaged, music-murdering
novel-devouring daughters of Fashion
and ldleness-you are no more fit for

The truth is, my dear girls, you want,
generally speaking, more liberty and
less fashionable restraints--more kitch-
en- and less parlor- more exercise and
less sofa-more pudding and less piano
more frankncss and less mock modes
ignore breakfast and less bustle.-
Loosen yourselves a little; enjoy more
liberty and less restraint by fashion
breathe the pure air freely, and become
as lovely and beautiful US the God OF

from blockade service, was drifting leis-
urcly down the fashionable side of Chest
nut street, the last pleasant, sunshiny
day we were blessed with, keeping a
bright lookout for breakers, when he
happened to fall into the wake of a

skysails, and trailing three quarters OF

that the upper end of the dresses were
