TIE SOLDIERS FRIEND. An incidep
lately occurred on one of the New York anc
Jersey City ferry y-boats which is Illustrative Of
more than one trait in Gen Grants character
Gen. Grant lately paid a visit to West Point
and being desirous of avoiding that greatest Of
nulSanceS to modest man like himself-the
over-clylllty of the people along his route
Travelled incOgnito; not exactly in disguise,
Dut dressed so differently from his usual habit
that he was recognizable to but few. While
Gen. Grant remained in the cabin ofthe boat
he was approached by one of those disabled
veterans who are employed, or who employ
themselves, in selling the newspaper known
as The Soldier Friend" journal, blythe
way, Of unusual merit aside from its charitable
object, and copy was laid on his knee. The
General, recognizing and admitting the claim
of the disabled veteran on his aid nd charity
drew from his pocket $5 greenback and
quietly handed it to the much astonished SOL
der. The latter was in doubt what to do until
the General, with nod, dismissed him. AS
he turned away, the soldier, observing his
friend more closely, recognized his old leader
and would have spoken; but glance from the
General silenced him and he bowed and pass.

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGORY.-- Mr. Crittenden wa
engaged in defending man who had been indi
ted for capital offence After an elaborat,
and powerful defence, he closed his efforts i,
the following beautiful allegory:
When God in his eternal counsel conceived
the three ministers who wait upon his tbronem a.-
Justice Truth, and Mercy-and thus address
:. Shall we make man? Then said Justice
U God, make him not, for he will irample
upon the laws" Truth made answer, also,
rO God, make him not, for he will pollute
Thy sanctuaries, But Mercy, dropping upon
her kn es and looking up through her tears,
exclaimed 90 God make him-I will watch
over him with my care through all the dark
paths W hich he may have to tread. " Then
God made man, and said to him, 80 man,
thou art the child of Mercy-go deal with thy
brother"
The jury, when he had finished, were in
tears, and against evidence, and what must
have been their own convictions, brought in
verdict Of" Not Guilty"

WALTON SMITH.

The way new style of skirt has lately come
into fashion was invented is thus described -
"A Brooklyn halter, for amusement, promised
his wife that he would make her skirt-such
as was never before known. He took some
felt, and adopting the process by which felt
hats are made, he stretched the material over
a frame and beat it in successive layers till a
thick, full sized seamless skirt was made, i'm
pervious to rain or damp, warm and not heavy.
1t was regarded as wonder by the ladies' of
New York, and more were demanded until an
immense factory has been opened, one hundred
hands employed and the demand cannot be
supplied
