WHAT GEN. GRANT SAID IN 1861.

The Randolph, Missouri, Citizen pub
fishes some interesting "reminiscences of
Gen. GRANT, one of which we copy below:
In the summer of 1861, General GRANT.
then Colonel of the Dist Illinois regiment
of infantry, vas stationed at Mexico, on
the North Missouri railroad, and had COM
mand of the post. Ulysses Tie silent was
then Ulysses the garrulous, and embraced
every fair opportunity which came in his
way TO express his sentiments and opinions
in regard TO political affairs. One Of these
declarations we distinctly remember. In
public conversation in Bingos banking
house, sterling Union man put this qucs-
ton to him: "What do you honestly
think was the real object of this war on the
part of the Federal Government %
"Sir," said Grant, ~ have no doubt in
the world that the sole object is the resto-
ration of the Union. / will say further,
though | am a Democrat-every man in
my regiment is Democrat-and whcnev-
er | shall be convinced that this war has
for its object anything else than what |
have mentioned, or that the Government
designs using its soldiers to execute the
purposes of the abolitionists, pledge you
my word as n man and soldier, that will
not only resign my commission, but will
carry my sword to the other side, and cast
my lot with that people"

TEST YOUR KERosENE.-In view Of the
many lamp explosions resulting almost in
variably from the use Of bad Kerosene we
urge upon the heads of families the impor-
lance of testing their oil before use in the
lamp. This may be readily done by any
man, woman, or child, by means of Their
mometer, n little warm water and table
spoonful of the oil. Fill the cup with warm
water, the temperature Of which is 10 be
brought to 10 Fab. Pour the oil on the
water; apply fame to the h,ating oil by
match or otherwise If the oil is unsafe il
will take fire, and its use in the lamp is
dangerous, for a as Liable to erplotle. But
if the oil is safe and good it will not take fire
All persons who sell kerosene that will
not staud the fire test at j ID are liable to

BEWARE OF BENZINE.-From the faeil-
ity with which it removes grease spots from
fabrics, this substance has come 10 be re-
garded almost rs a household indispensa-
bic. But few persons, however, realize tho
explosive character of benzne or the dan
gers attending the careless handling of the
liquid. Being one of the most volatile aud
inflammable products resulting from the dis
tillation of petroleum, it vaporizcs with
great rapidity, so that the contents Of a four
ounce vial, if overturned, would render the
air of moderate sized room highly cxplo-
sive. The greatest care should be exercis-
ed in handling this substance, in proximi-
ty to fire, and it is important to remember
that the vapor escaping from an uncorked
bottle VIII cause fame to leap over space

q Stragetical Widow.

y widow woman residing in the eastern
section Of Wheeling, Va, had occasion TO
resort to q piece of strategy to meet the de-
mands of her landlord aud save her home.
Her means were very limited, and to the
frequent duns of her landlord she was COM
PEELED to give him many excuses until he
became cxasporatcd and demanded when
she could pay him. She then told him
that she had no money now, but was OK
pecting some from son who was absent,
and that probably in few days she would
discharge the debt The landlord is a
prompt old fellow, especially when there
IS money in the question, so it was but n
few days before he showed his grim visage'
at the widows door again, buoyant with
the hope of receiving the amount due him
But unfortunately the woman was not pre-
pared to meet her obligations, and did not
know what TO DO under the circumstances
Feeling ashamed to postpone the payment
any longer by promises, she rosorted to Q
piece Of strategy to accomplish the same
end. The landlord knocked at the door
and made his business known. The widow
Informed him that she had the money for
some time, but that herself and her child
