General Grants Father tells
How lac got HIS Name.

When tho question arose after his
birth what he should be called, his
mother and ono ofhls aunts proposed
Abort, for Albert GalIatin; another
aunt proposed Theodore; his grand
father proposed Hiram, because no
thought that was q handsome name
HIS neutrality-suspicious. by
courtesy-that is, his mothers stop
mother was u great student of history
and had an enthusiastic admiration
for the ancient commander Ulysses !;
and she urged that the babe should be
named Ulysses. l seconed that, and
he was chrlstened Hiram Ulysses but
he was always called by the latter
name, which he himself preferred when
he got old enough to know about it.
But Mr.. Hamor, knowing Mrs. Grants
name wal Simpson, and that we had n
son named Simpson; somehow got tho
matter II little mixed in making tho
nomination, and sent the namo in,
Ulyssus S. Grant instead of Hiram
Ulysses Grant, My son tried IN VAN,
afterwards, to get ii set right by the
authorities and | suppose he is now
content with his name as 1t stands.

The Case well stated.

Ex-Governor Horato Seymour ad-
dressed largo meeting at Bridgeport,
Conn, last week From his speech
we make the following extract, and
ASK for it the attention of every read
er:
81 ventured to ask to-day very
intelligent man, whose position in life
ls prooi' of his capacity and saga ,ity,
how much it would cost tho laborlng
man, or how many hours laboring
man would have TO toll in order TO
support himself if no had no such
thing rs taxation; If, for example, n
working man could procure his food
and clothing at first cost, how many
hours he wo uld have 20 toll To sup~
port himself? and the answer was,
"siX hours" which we may consider n
very fair estimate. Now you are to
remember how much the cost Of cvery
thing is multiplied by taxation in its
various forms. Now, all labor above
six hours is put upon you by the tax
gatherer. 1t is put upon you by tho
policy Of the Government. OF course
wo can not lift the load OF taxation
altogether from the people. You can
not reduce the hours of labor to six
hours per day but tell you, those OF
you VINO toll in tho workshops, whom
you have laborod your six hours,
when you are beginning to fe,l your
arms weary, and you desire either
mental occupation or enjoyment with
your families, the tax -gathorer comes
in and says: No, VIC own four hours
OF your labor yot-You must pay them
to us [Applause.] Now | ask you,
laborng men, can you afford all that
in order that these. gentlemen may
amuse themselves with their policy Of
Southern reconstruction

says;
''Thcro is q rumor about the streets
to-day that Grant is getting disgusted
with politics, and especially with tho
persistent opportunities Of expoctart
office holders. Ho may retro from

would bo great deal of difference
