So, deciding that we could not defer

hearty will, and soon succeeded in de-

tying dishes Of ice cream, strawberries

scores of other enemies of the human

Hardly was the banquet over ere
rockets began TO pierce the sky, shoot

a brilliant display of fireworks crowned
the magnificent sight with truly inde-

He had some business to attend 10 for
his children, and, oddly enough, thought
that he could go abou; ii like any other
man." He took Col. Badeau, one of his
aids, as companion. and walked down
Chestnut street, dressed in civilians
clothes and a larse-brimmed slouched hat.
There was nothing about him to indicate
his military profession. least of all his rank.
The inevitable cigar fumed beneath his
nose, and he walked along probably con-
graduating himself in the completeness of
his incoenito. The little boot-blacks look
ed at his unpublished understandings and
rushed for "job," but made nothing.-
Just below Sixth street, soldier, with one
arm, walking upon crutch, looked into
his face. " God be praised !" was his in
voluntary exclamation, ,"here's Gen. Grant"
The soldier rushed towards him, seized his
hand, and kissed it as a girl would kiss a
cherished pet. General" said he,
was with you at Vicksburg." There was
hearty squeeze of hands, and, with a
manipulation that would have done no dis
credit to Signor Blitz, the General trans
ferred TO the hand of the soldier two pieces
of greenbacked paper with cross upon
the face of each. The soldier walked one
way, the General the other. 1t was all uE
with Gen. Grant. There were at leas
twenty soldiers on the other side Of the
street. They discovered at glance tina
the stranger in the slouched hat was NJ

them had spaded their way into Vicksburg
and with lightning celerity they Learned
that Gen. Grant was among them. In les

A. Brave Woman her Own
Protector.

The St. Louis Republican tells this story
of brave woman:
"On The night of the 18th ult., four
armed men went 20 the residence of Judge
John Jsillett, whu lives in Carroll county,
some nine miles west of Brunswick, and
demanded admiltance. Only Mrs. Gillett
a little daughter of thirteen years, and FIVE
younger children we're at home. Mrs.
Gillett demanded of the men to know who
they were and what trey wanted. They
replied that they were Federals, and want
ed 10 get any arms and money they might
have in the house. Mrs. Gillett reached
them an old pistol through the door, but
refused to admit them unless they would
say who they were. They then threatened
to break in. The lady told them to do
that if they dared. Meanwhile she had
armed herself with cup of hot water,
while her little daughter had secured a
corn knife, and another cup Of hot water,
preparatory to defending her castle from
assault.
The rascals at once proceeded to break
down the door, and succeeded in getting il
partially open, when Mrs. Gillett threw the
hot water at them. Whether hitting them
or not she did not know, but they withdrew
cursing this unexpected weapon of defence
One of them then approached window il
another room of the house, and commenced
smashing ii in, calling to the men in The
house to come out, and dared any one tC
put his head out. Mrs. Gillett said ther,
was no man in the house, and she did no
intend TO put her head out. All this Will
the thieving rascals we're threatening t
break in, while Mrs. Gillett, with cour
age rarely met with, dared them to ente
the house at their peril. Finally they GO
on to tleir horses and rode off, leaving tn
brave-hearted woman mistress of her hom
and courageous protectress of her six Iii
tie children. Since this event, Mrs. Gillet
has fortified herself little better, but sh
keeps her trusty kettle of hot water o
hand, ready for an adventure. 1t is hare
ly necessary to say that home defende
by such lady as Mrs. Gillett is not likel

Anecdote of Webster.

The following anecdote Of the great
statesman, just related to us by a friend,
we believe, has never been in print; and
as it is illustrative of trait in his character,
we give it as it was told TO us.
Daniel, with gun in hand, and pouch and
horn slung across a seedy hunting coat, was
out on the marshes Of Marsh6eld, enjoying
"a days shootin," when he espied several
sailors on the flats, in the vain endeavor to
shove off boat which had been left high
and dry by the receding tide, and which
belonged to a schooner anchored few
cables length from the shore. They were
about to give up their task as fruilless, and
wait for the flowing in of the tide, when
the athletic looking form of Mr.. Webster
hove in sight, his rusty attire and slouched
hat giving him rather an uncouth appear
ance Tor one in his position.
Helloa old chap, ahoyP cried the
skipper, hailing the unknown; bear a
hand here will ye, and help US get the boat
afoat.
| SAY, ay, sir p responded Daniel, in a
deep gruf voice and he laid down bis
gun on dry spot, and into the mud he
went to lend hand to the boatman.
+" Now continued the statesman, LET'S
have long push, strong push, and push
altogether, and we may succeed. Yo
heave, yeo!"
With these words they showed mos
lustily,-the boat started, and by few
efforts, the craft was soon afoat.
Thank ye, thank ye, sir" said the skip
per; you're strong as lion, come aboard
and take glass of grog."
No, I'm obliged to you," said Daniel
"but if you'll walk up to my house yon
der, III give you all glass of wine"
Wer-wer-wha, that big house u
tha-,here ?" stammered the skipper.
"That is my house."
"Then you are-
The skipper hesitated
"Daniel Webster said the statesma
flushing the sentence 'and whenever ye
are in like dilemma, just call on the o
chap and he'll bear a hand 10 help "
out Of it."
The skipper was dumb with confusio
and Daniel started off after brace
wild ducks, which had alighted at a. di
tance of few hundred yards.
