President Lincoln was General
Grants earnest friend and ADVISER
The following incident Is one Of bis
many tributes to the Republican cam
didate for Presideati ~
Just before the Baltimore Conven-
tion, d few delegates called upon aim,
pursuant 10 appointment, and we
found him free and Communicative as
well as hopeful and agreeable. -.
One OF our party asked his opinion on
the military situation. HWeIl, gentle
men" said he, "Grant now has entire
control, and / can only relate q ron
yersation l had with him the other
day. lie said bis plan was 70 hold
lee and his army in the vicinity Of
Richmond, while no sent Sherman
through to destroy the Confederacy.
Il said TO HIM" and the sunbeams
played over the Presidents homeIy
face, making II appear positively
handsome, "Grant, l don't know much
about tho technioalities OF your pro-
fession, but as near az l do under
stand you, yoe propose to bold the
leg,' while Sherman takes Oft the skin
Yes, replied Grant, that Is Just what
\ mean. With what an iron grasp
Grant held the leg, and how brilliant
" Sherman stripped the hide from the
rebellion, has now passed into the do
main Of history. t.a

the annexed short article which we
find afOat on the sea Of Ofliterature:
MANY mon fall because they have
no definite aim. Their energies are
scattered Oversee wide surface that
they are dissipated And lost. They
are not concentrated sufficiently on
any one point TO make themselves felt
Hence universal geninses are almost
always universal failures and the
promises or early life are not res
deemed in the achievements of ma,
ture age. "a manesets out in life
with talents enough to command sue-
cess in any field of enterprise, tries
the whole round of pursuits and
everywhere fails. The simple cause
of his failure Is because he has tried
tho whole round, instead Of adopt
ing one as his life-work, and con-
eentrate all his energies upon it.
pSingleness of aim needs also TO be
reinforced BY tenacity Of purpose,
that quality Of mind exressed by the
Yankee word stick Effectiveness.

come obstacles and wiring success

A BRAVE SOLDIER UNDER THE hNlfE-
The following instance belongs TO the
record of military surgery. During our
late war several thousand wounded sol
diers. brought from the battles OF Virgin
ia. were receive ed into Bellevue Hospital
for treatment Some remarkable In>tan-
ccs OF .spluck" occurred during the opcr-
etions that were made by those brave
fellows. In one instance 1t was neccH-
sary to remove large PORTIONS OF dead
bone from the leg of Il soldier. y groove
nearly a foot in length was to be chissel-
ed, with malet and gouge, in the living
! tissues of the hJu. This cooperation for
necrosis" as surgeons call it, Is one of
| the most painful and tedious IN surgery.
But the gallant fellow would take no
chIorolorm. Throwing himself upon the
black couch he resolutely underwent this
bitter torture during long half-hour.
| But not as stole; he laughed, he ours
ed. he uttered the most grotesque and
humorous CALCULATIONS alternately; he
chatftd the operator, the students and
the science of surgery. The students,
tu!l of enthusiasm. checrcd him and en-
couragtd him. He bore TIE pain like a
pagan martyr The wil'le-t applause
greeted hiln at the close of the Operation.
Some of the students, with quite Par~i,n
enthusiasm, could hardly be kept from
leaping INTO the operating MT and en-
b.acing the sturdy little solder. Ho
rose from the couch Of pain smiung ans
covered with blood. 1t was Just befor,
the reign OF silver coin had ended, and :
the students threw down TO h,m ii SHOW
er of quarters and halves that srlat'crc'
over the surface Of the arena. A. suol

he would take bag with his teeth, and
with a swing and the aid of a push from
the knee, throw it into the cart. He
had double teeth in front, aud would
hold a tenpenny nail by them and break
