GEN. GRANT AND THE PONY.
FOR TIE BOYS.

In the village Of Georgetown, Ohio
where Gen. Grant and the writer Of
this article spent part of their boy
hood, the arrival of show of any
kind was great event, and the one
with which my story is connected
was a circus. People came from
every part of the country in all kinds
of conveyances, to see the wonder
full feats. To the boys, the pony
and the monkey were the great OBJ
jects of attraction. The boys and
tie monkey, as if enjoying peculiar
favors, were permitted to ride the
pony.
This pony was well trained to per.
form his part. On the occasion of
which 1 speak, after the pony and
the monkey had performed to the
great delight of the spectators, the
manager asked if there was not boy
who would like to ride the pony
The word had 70 sooner been spo-
ken, than ous stepped good sized
boy from the country, and took his
seat upon the pony. The pony un
derstood well the part to be perform
ed now, and as soon as he was turned
into the ring, began running at the
top Of his speed, and to rear and
kick as high as he could; then sud
denly turning around, the boy went
suddenly into the dust, to the great
amusement of lockers on. The pony
seemed to enjoy the trick as much as
the audience.
The manager then said, perhaps
there is another boy who VII like to
take ride" Finally, out stepped
Ulysses S. Grant. He was much
smaller in size than the boy who had
just been thrown by the pony. Fhe
manager placed young Grant upon
the back of the pony. Ulysses took
the reins into his hands, and tucked
his heels close in behind the shoul-
der blades of the pony. He seemed
to comprehend the situation. The
manager seeing his composure and
selfreliance, thought he would give
the pony hint of what he must do.
So he gave him 3 smart crack with
the whip, and away he went at the
top of has speed, now rearing so high
as to be nearly erect on his hind feet,
then kicking up so as to be perpen-
dicular upon his fore feet; but Ulys-
ses never lost his equilibrium. the
pony fine ing he could not unhorse
him this way run around the ring at
the top of his speed, and then sud-
denly wheeled about. But the rider
was lot to be taken by surprise; he
threw both arms tightly about the
neck of the pony and stuck to him
amidst the great cheering of the
crowd. The pony could no more
throw him from his back than he
could the monkey. "He fought it
out on that line," as much as in TAX
ing Richmond and Vicksburg. What
ever Ulysses s. Grant undertook to
do, he did.

HOW TO BE INDEPENDENT.

Mr.. Peter c. Brooks maxim was
that 'the whole value of wealth con-
sists in the personal independence it
secures. An amusing and singular
illustration of that distinguished mer-
chants maxim is thus given
"a merchant named Porter, once
had clerical friend between whom
and himself there existed great init
macy. Every Saturday night, as
Porter was sitting balancing his cash,
note would come requesting the
loan of a five dollar bill" The
money was always punetually re-
stored at eight O'Clock on the Mon
day morning following. But what
puzzled the lender was, the person
always returned the identical note he
borrowed. Since the discovery of
this fact he had made private marks
on the note; still the same was han
ded back on Monday morning.
"One Saturday evening Porter
sent five dollar gold piece instead
of note and marked it. Still the
very same coin was returned on
Monday. Porter got nervous and
bilious about 1t; he could hardly
sleep at night for thinking about it;
he would wake his wife in the mid
die of the night and ask her what
she thought of such a strange occur
renee. He was last boiling over
with curiosity, when news came from
the reverend borrower, one Christ
mas eve, asking the loan of ten dol
lars. A brilliant thought nov struck
him. He put on his great coat, re-
solving to call and demand an ex-
planation of the mystery. When he
was shown into his friends study, he
found him plunged in the profundest
melancholy.
Mr.. B." said the lender, if you
will answer me one question I will
lend you that ten dollars. How does
it happen that you always pay me the
money you borrow on Saturday night
in the very same coin or note on
Monday morning"
nC pdlSOn IdlScu HIS Hcau, duu,
after q violent internal struggle, as
though he were about to upyeil tn,
boarded mystery of his soul, said in
faltering tones: Porter, you are a
gentleman, Chris:i ian, and q New
Yorker; ] know I can rely on your
invielate seereeF.-Listen to the Sc.
eret of my eloquence. You know
that I am poor; and when, on Satur
day, have bought my Sunday din
ner, ] seldom have red cent left in
my pocket. Now, / maintain that
no man can preach the Gospe. and
blow up his congregation properly
without he has something in bis
pocket to inspire him with conf
dence. I,have, therefore, borrowed
five dollars of you every Saturday,
that 1 might feel it occasionally as ]
preach ON Sunday. You know hoa
independently do preach--how ]
make the rich shake in their shoes.
Well, it is all owing to my knowing
that have a FIVE dollar bill in my
pocket OF course never hsvine to
use it Tor any other purpose, 1t is
not changed, but invariably r,-tarned
to you the next morning BIT, to

miles from about 800 fathoms to nearly
1900. Such a rapid descent has natural
ly been regarded with alarm by the tele~
graphic engineers, and this alarm had led
to a most careful sounding survey of the
whole Of the supposed bank by Captain
Dayman, acting under the instructions of
the Admiralty. The result of this shows
that the supposed precipitous bank, or
submarine cliff, is a gradual slope of
nearly sixty miles. Over this long slope
the difference between its greatest height
and greatest depth is only 0,760 feet, so
that the average incline is, in round num-
bers, about 145 feet per mile. A good
gradient on a railway is now generally
considered to be one i'll 100 feet, or about
ifty-three in a mile, so that the incline
on this supposed bank is only about three
times that of an ordinary railway. Twice

signals will be sent through from the ship
to Valentia, stating where the vessel is,

ted direct to London. Anything, there
fore, occurring on board the ship will be
instantly known in England, while, onthe
other hand, anything going wrong with
the cable itself will be as quickly ascer-
tained-not alone from the cessation of
signals, but from the tests that can be
applied to the end at Valentia. All that
science and skill can do has been done for
the cable, and everything now depends
on moderately fair weather for the voy-
Age. 1t that additional good fortune
should be vouchsafed to the undertaking,

The German Princes are dreadfully

strongly pressed. German emigrants usu-

Government, which regards them as ma

sion, and requests the princes either to re-
peal the law or abstain from putting it
into force. The Princes, embarrassed
by the extreme popularity of the North
in Germany, would comply, but they say
compliance would enormously increase an
emigration which already alarms them.
They will probably c%ontrive to comply Sc

From the Spectator, July IL

The Austrian Ministry has fallen, why
is not yet clear. It appears that the
Reichsrath demanded a reduction of
2,GOO,O 00L. on the estimates, chiefly in the
War Department, that Herr Won Plener
opposed it, and that the Emperor after
long consideration finally conceded the
point. The reduction cannot have been
pleasing to His Majesty, who probably
gave way to the argument used by Count
Auersperg, that taxation had reached It's
limits, and the agricultural population
could pay no more. This accounts for
the resignation Of the Finance Minister,
but Herr SchmerlIng has resigned too,
and indeed all the Ministers except those
for Wan and Foreign Affairs. AS they
were not responsible for finance, it is pre-
sumed that the Emperor has insisted on
concessions to Hungary, which were
drawn up by Herr Schmerling in the
German interest. Little, however, is yet
known except that Count BeIcredl has
accepted the Secretaryshlp of State, and
that the Hungarian Chancellor is to be
Count Won Mailath.

"Foreign Office, June %, 1865.
"Sir,-I am directed by Earl Russell to
acquaint you, for the information of the

intelligence, which his Lordship has great
pleasure in communicating through you,
without delay, to the society. Mr.. Con-
sul-general CoIquhoun reports from AL

Nav had been received from Khartum,
stating that Mr.. Baker has succeeded in
discovering the second great source of the
Nile-second, not in Importance, but on

Sir Roderick Murchison says:-EIt IS
known to all who take an interest in AZ

soushwards in a bold attempt. to extend
the discoveries of those travellers. The
Royal Geographical Society have recently
awarded to Mr.. Baker their Victoria gold
medal for his spirited undertaking. entire
ly at his own cost; and it is highly graft
flying TO find that he has already justified
their award by this splendid achievement.
AS one of the kilograms informs us that
this second great Nilotic lake lies in north

surmise that it is the Luta Nzige, heard
