LIFE OF GENERAL GRANT, by Oliver
ogtic, very pretty little volume Of $50
pages. crown octave. This is the fortieih
or fifticth life Of the General, and is prob
ably the best OF all. Mr. Adams style is
too we'll known to need any commenr
from us, and the volume before us is writ
ten in his pleasant lively manner, and
anybody wanting a life Of General Grant
cannot get q better, but as there are so
few AT present who take an interest in
Grant, we fear very deserving little book
will not meet with tho sale which it,
merits deserve. The volume can h'
bought at the Rutland bookstore.

SCENE IL 4 PARIS THEATER.-A ter
rible scene occurred the other day at the
Paris Odeon. An actor on the stage had
10 fire a pistol: some villain must have
put bullet into the pistol, and the con-
sequence was that when the shot was fired,
the bullet shattered the leg of young
ballet girl standing behind the
scenes. The doctors who were sent for
declared the leg must be amputated.
This drove the poor girl 10 despair. Obi
she cried again, ''it is not the pain that
| am afraid of But what is TO become
of me and my mother
All her colleagues surrounded her,
weeping, and trying to calm her, but her
grief burst forth again and again, Finally
the manager FASTENED to her side, gave
her thousand franc note, and told her
that he would give her benefit in thC
course of few days. This reassured her
+ little, and her leg was then amputated,
while she convulsively clutched the bank
note. The actor who had fired the shot
was almost as distracted as the poor ballet
girl He knelt weeping beside her, and
begged her to forgive him. Such n scene
had never before been witnessed at the
Odeon The performance was at once
interrupted, the manager explaining to
the audience what had happened.

From a private letter which we have
received from !. Member of Congress, we
make the following extract:
Il feel very anxious that our State
should show good gain in september
Il would show how the current WAS set

help SD much in the other States.
Vermont j. one Of the first States to cast
its vote this fall and her verdict will
exert an imhense, influence upon the cleo
tlonS in other States. She has always
been regarded rs one Of the staunchest OF
Republican States She has always been
regard, / as one Of the staunehest of Re
publican States, and has, by her vote
heretofore. contributed no little to the
success, Of the principles underlying this
party in the Union.
Ia the last Presidential contest Vermont
rolled mp majority of over 10000 for
Abr ham Lincoln Who shall determine
how much her majority, in the September
election, contributed to the success of the
Union armies in prosecuting the war
What weud have been the result had her
majoIity been reduced to 10000 to oppo-
sitlou to party declaring in its platform
that the war was future, and calling
for the appointment Of commissioners for
a peaceful termination of the contest,
Little less to-day is depending upon the
result Of this canvass. The utterances OF
Wade Hampton, Admiral Semmes and
Gen. Forrest give no uncertain Indication
as to the object they seek to effect by the
election of Seymour and Blair. Foiled

feat 81, the polls, their success to-day
mean, the virtual undoing OF the results
gained by its successful prosecution, Look
as candid men at the record, and see
what else is at stake.
/ The most desperate efforts are being
made by the Democracy to reduce the Re
publican majority in the State. vii

miles out He had several children, a coach
fine horses and driver, and took pleasure in
riding every day with his children.
One day, when riding, The thought struck
him that each one OF his children would ex-
pect to have fine house, and coach, and
horses, aud driver as their father had be-
fore them, and to live as he lived and ifthoy
did not they would be unhappy. He did not
think that all of them could have things as
he had them, or as he was living; and he rode
home; sent his coach and horses to market
and sold them bought cheap carryall, and
became his own driver.
With emphasis he declared that no amount
of wealth could induce him to return to his
former mode of living, for if any Of his chill
dren should chance to be poor, as In all prob
ability some of them would be, they should
not suffer in their feelings by the reflection
that their father rode in his. coach, while they
had to rough it on foot. The example he
gave them afforded him satisfaction greater
