We learn that Col. Henry c. Deming, who was
much distinguished in the last Congress for his
cloquence and power In debate, and who was
greatly instrumental in procuring the passage OF
the act creating the office Of Lieutenant General,
has been engaged for some time on the Life OF
Gen. Grant. The terms OF intimacy and conf.
dence which subsist between the eloquent author
and Grant and his friends-Gen. washburne, of
Illinois; Gov. Yates and others-give him greater
facilities in his labor than any other writer
could have. Those who have seen portions Of
the manuscript speak Of it as being written with
great power and of absorbing interest. II will
be published by $. S. Scranton Co., Hartford,
Connecticut, and the National Publishing Com.
pany, Cincinnati, Ohio.

city Railway Cars.

There Is no doubt OF the great benefit derived
from the horse cars-an institution decidedly q
blessing when compared with the old rumbling
omnibus. The cars have their uses, and yet may
be an evil with US II we allow carelessness with
drivers and conductors to stand In lieu Of watch.
fulness and care for the safety Of passengers.
This city has been particularly fortunate In es-
Gaping the many accidents prevalent In other
large cities through the railway cars, and we
seldom record any occurring. or late, however,
some few of the conductors have not acted with
the care necessary, and an incessAnt hankering
of their fingers after the bell strap has thrown
persons Oft the step as they were about getting
on or off, very much to the danger Of said per.
sons limbs, and also 10 the company pecuniarily
A case on Sunday evening last, occurring at the
Seventh street junction, by which the wife OF
the Rev. Alfred Homead was not allowed to get
fairly upon the step while attempting to get on,
came very near proving a serious one. The con
duetor pulled the strap, and the car starting,
Mrs. Holmead was thrown, but partially caught
In the arms OF her husband. The car, however
kept on, and notwithstanding the remonstrsnces
OF Mr.. Holmead, the conductor did not stop, and
It was only when a gentleman In the car pulled
the strap that It was broughtto. Mrs. Holmead
the while, had been knocked of and injured con
| siderably. This Ii one of the few Instances
which of late have occurred, and we hope that
the company will exercise a rigid surveillance

them render a strict obedience to the rules
adopted by the company for the safety OF ALL

NATIONAL SOLDIERS HOMEs.-The committee
appointed by the board OF managers Of the Ma
tional Soldiers Homes, to visit those institu-
tions, is composed of Ex-Governor Smythe, Of
New Hampshire, and l.. b. Gunckel, of Ohio.
The Philadelphia Soldiers Home, formerly sup
ported by private contributions and donations
from the State OF Pennsylvania, has been trans.
ferred to the National Institution. The mana.
gers have decided to retain the services Of the
present matron Of the Philadelphia Home, Mrs.
Catharine Sprigman, whose experience, ability
and worth eminently adapt her for the position.
All the old officers are to be retained, we under
stand; and this, In the satisfactory and excellent
manner In which the Home has heretofore been
conducted, is wise and proper.

NATIONAL THEATRE.-A very lne house en-
joyed the unctuous humor OF Mr.. John T.. Owens
last night, in his representation OF Major Wei
lington de Boots and Scion Single. That ex-
eeiiOnt modern comedy "Everybody's Friend
was judlciously penned and performed through.
out, in u capital manner. Tne reminine cnarae.
tiers OF the dramatic pcrJOhG had very good repre-
sentatives in Mrs. Grafton, Mas Walt and Mrs.
yiola Barrett The last-named has not been cast
in any part for the past week or two, aud her
presence last night was a welcome reappesr-
ance. Mr.. Vandenhof played Featherby true
to the character, a character too, for which he
scenes specially adapted; and Mr.. Fosters Ice.
brook, is deserving OF especial eommeudstion.
The character is dificult to portray properly, q
bashful yet cool, Indifferent person, is no ordi
nary character, and he showed an intelligent
conception Of It,
Tonight Mr.. Owens will appear as Cslel
