GEN. GRANT ON HIS MUsCLE.-While
at West Point, Grant was run on" by
the older scholars, according to the
custom of that institution. he en-
dured good deal without resentment,
until, one day, being on mock parade.
company, when he stepped from the
ranks, threw of his jacket, and chal.
leneed the captain TO fight. Abbott
tells the story as follows:
Such a challenge could not be de-
clined; all the company looked eagerly
on; the captain soon succumbed be-
meath the sturdy and swift telling
blows of Grant, and cried for quarter.
He had been very soundly whipped
before his pride would permit him TO
yield.
The young champion, not at all
fatigued, and showing no excitement
over his victory, turned to the lieu-
tenant, and said very blandly to him:
sit Is now, lieutenant your turn.
Perhaps. you would like 70 try to re-
venge the captain. shall be happy to
meet you.N exc lnE 80
The lieutenant, who had taken an
active partin the insolent joke upon the
young cadet, could not In. honor refuse.
To have shown q towards discretion
would have exposed him to the endless
jeers of his comrades. Grant made
abort work with him, and gave him q
very thorough thrashing.
he then with apparently as much
composure as IL he had been attending
to ordinary duties, turned to his COM
panions in line and said:
"Who comes next7 want peace,
but I am willing to fight the whole
company, one by one, II that Is neces-
sary TO gain peace.o
His comrades now greeted him with
three enthusiastic cheers. They came
forward tumultuously, and shook him
by the hand, declaring that one pos
sessing so much pluck should no lon.
ger be subject 10 their annoyance. II
was In reference to this offer 70 hghi
the wholecompany that he received the
nickname of company Grant" This
name he retained until, on memora-
conditional Surrender Grant.

all the requisite power on the Secretary,
for inaugurating such a measure, but
1t seems that he hesltates to exercise 1t,

The Shepherdstown Register of Sat-
urday says concerning the crops in
Jefferson:
mOur farmers are now busily en-
gagged in making hay. and from what
we can learn the grass crop, both clover
and timothy, is splendid, and If the
weather remains favorable an immense
quantity of hay will be made through
out the county. By the middle of next
week the wheat will be ready for the
sickle. Like the grass crop, it is most
excellent, and If nothing happens to it,
which is not very likely as it is pretty
we'll matured, the yield will be much
heavier than last year. The rye also
looks we'll and promises good yield.
We never had better prospect Tor
bountiful harvest, for which we should
be truly thankful to the Giver of all
good.
The poor OF Upshur county who
are county charges, were sold by pub

for the lowest price. The NeiUS and
Advertiser INDUCES in some timely re-
Elections over such poor system, and
advocates the provision of county
home for this unfortunate class. 1t
expresses the hope this is the last year
such sale will take place.

neTcidt:
We notice with pleasure the commu-
nlcation of CHARTERS Valley In this
mornings Commercial, and would here
say that no one would be more pleased
10 see a western outlet for the Allie
gheny Valley road than myself. But
as dtsinterested friend OF Pittsburgh,
and of the CHARTERS Valley region, L
desire to say word in reference TO
one point in your correspondents COM
mpnication. He says: 1.-THE interests
of Pittsburgh and of CHARTERS Valley
are with Mr.. Garrett and not with Mr..
Thomson We admit that our interests
are with Mr.. Garrett so far as the Con.
nellsVilIe road is concerned, but when
that road is finished from Cumberland
to Pittsburgh; and Baltimore wants q
connection with the west via the Hemp
field and Central and Ohio roads, 1t
strikes me that the most direct way 20
obtain 1t will be 10 complete the Hemp
field road from Washington to West
Newton, and thereby have a direct con-
nection west without touching Pitts
burgh.
The HempfeId road already belongs
to Mr.. Garrett, and good deal of
work has been done omit east OF Wash
ington, and 1t Is not likely that Mr..
Garrett would throw all that work
away and take up with new route
(from Washington to Pittsburgh where
everything is yet to do.
With these factsin view it seems to
me that the interest of Pittsburx Is to
assist in the completion of the Char
tiers Valley road under the proposition
of Mr.. Thomson, and thus secure the
trade of the whole region commanded
by 1t, which may be diverted to Wheel
ing and Baltimore by the completion of
the Hempfield Road to West Newton.
