Two Occasions when Gen.
Grant was angry.

From tho New York Times,
No man I'm the country possesses
greater control over himself than
Gen. Grant. Gen. Webster, iIfs form
er Chief of Staff states that during his
long and intimate connection with
him he never saw his chief display an
exhibition Of temper except upon two
occasions; once when he detected a
private soldier defiling spring of wa
ter near Donelson, and afterward at
Corinth, when suffering an indignity
from Halleck. After JoililsoD's defeat
and death at Shiloh, Beauregard. It
will be remembered, retreated at Cor
intl and fortified. Hallcck snniiuoiI-
ed his General to council of war to
determin upon the best means for dis
Logging the enemy. One after another
was called upon for Iris view. When
Grant guggested his plan of attack.
Halleck pto-hooked 1t In the most
insulting and indignant manner.
The former made no reply. His lower
lip, however, became very tremulnus,
showing that he keenly felt the indig-
nifty, and upon returning to bis tent
was depressed for hours. lie yet made
no illusion to tho Occurrences. beyond
remarking to his Chief Of Staff that
Halleck had deeply wronged him.
subsequently,, when Bcauregard had
escaped southward, II became clearly
apparent to all tho Generals that, had
Grants advice been followed, Corinth
would not only been captured, but
Beauregard's army w0tid have been cut
In twain, and the retreat Of q portion
Of II cut off,

On a recent Sunday evening, young
man, whom for the sake OF coEveii-
ience we will call John, went to visit
the girl whom he called his own. The
fair one resides near the canal. During
the evening the young man of the
name of John was unable to conceal
The wish OF his heart and I'm tender ac-
cents declared his desire that the young
lady should consccnt to bc his. He met
with flat refusal. The ardent John
still pressed her further, declaring that,
II she would not accept him he would
then and there drown himself In the
briny waters Of the canal. As this
threat did not effect the desired pur-
pose, he proceeded to carry it out. He
plunged fearlessly into the murky food,
and waded out until the chilly water
reached over his shoulders. It will be
remembered that the evening on which
this occurred was none Of the warmest.
Retreating before finally carrying out
his purpose, John cried out, shivering
with cold:
"W.w-will you marry me now ~
NOR
In lie plunged again, this time until
the water reached his neck, and again
he halted before the last plunge.
"W-w-will you marry me now Y"
"No!u
Again he went In, this time going
fairly under the water, so far taat only
the top Of his head could'be discovered
above the surface, but he emerged and
staggered out Of the canal and shiyeriflg
worse than ever, spnttered out:

Not half the gentlemen in society
appreciate the value and importance of
''little attentions.u Many assume to
regard them with kind Of contempt !;
others neglect them through thought
lessness; others are too supremely self
ish TO extend them to others, although
they can fully appreciate them from
theirs to themselves. We have all
seen men whom it seems almost
impossible to classify; royalty good
hearted Fellows who would do every
thing and any thing, accommodate a
friend, and yet we cannot call them
gentlemen Ruskin attributes this to
the absence Of what he calls sensitive
ness" This dlstiction between the
"gentleman" and the good fellown in
excellent. We would Include In the
definition of ''sensitiveness" that del.
icate PERCEPTION of the thousand and
one little attention which will con.
tribute To another's comfort. The true
gentleman not only perceives the prop
per time and place for these, but iisoi-
plines himself never To forget them.
How often do we hear young men spo.
ken of ms 'perfect gentlemen" when
no tangible reason can be given why
he should claim this title more than
the young man on his right or left. IL
IL not because he has a larger heart or
Is better acquainted with the general
laws of etiquette. II Is because he
gives you his entire attention when
you speak to him; he anticipates your
wishes in a hundred little matters
which hpassunnoticedby you, except that
youenjoy his society; he compliments
You perhaps, without saying o word,
by seeming to appreciate what you
do or say; and he often flatters your
vanity by what he says, not intending
it himself, and without suspicion on
your part that he is doing 1t. None of
us are Indifferent to these little atten.
tions, and those who boast that they
are, show as little knowledge Of their
own human nature as Of good taste.
We have heard IL said that IL was tire
little annoyances, the ''musquito bites
of life,''as a friend expressed 1t, that
make the miseries OF existence. So II
Is with happiness-it Is the "little
things" that make life pleasant or dis
agreeable. The true gentleman recog-
nizes that In his treatment Of his
friends, and here it is that he differs
