Life was extinct and no efforts of physi

A Mean Man,

As a specimen of meanness, the follow
ing account of how poor crippled sol
diers we're treated by President GRANT,
cannot be exeelIed We copy from the
Cincinnati Enquirer
"a fcw weeks ago General Stephen Nc
Groarty was IN the city OF Washington TO
see whether be, as manned and disabled
soldier, who had voted Tor Grant, would be
remol ed by the latter from the position OF
collector of internal revenue, which he
heid IN Cincinnati While there he made
the acquaintance of another soldier col
lecter lii an interior district in New York,
who had sustained even more lnj ufIes than
himself. lie had lost both legs by cam
non ball, below the knees, and hohbled
around, to use the expression of McGroar
ty, upon nestle work He was also in the
Federal capitol to ascertain whether the
mousing and stay home politicians
would be permitted by his old commander
to discharge him from the service of the
government. This unfortunate veteran
was rich in the possession of a wife and
seven children, but had no worldly goods
to support them He was ncapacitated
for work, and relied entirely upon the in
come of his office for a living. He had
discharged the duties Of collector with f.
deity, and had given, so far as be was
aware, general satisfaction. Gen. Nc
Groarty, in company with his old com>
rade i'll arms, repaired to the White House
to see the president. The soldier from
New York was first introd lced and made
known his business. Grant expressed, in
the strongest terms, MS roprobatlon OF any
orc who would even seek the place of SO
severely al Injured soldier, and gave his
word that, if 1t was done, he would pay no
attention to it.
General McGroarty soon afterward saw
the president and presented hi, papers OF
recommends from leading republicans
IN this city and elsewhere. Among them
was letters signed by Edwin NJ Stanton,
late secretary OF war, which was TO tie
following effect.
There may have been soldiers who nave
as good an army record as general Nc
Groarty. There are certainly none who
have a better.
Grant smiled when he received the pa
pcrs, stated that bl;Groarty' ) military rec
old was well known 20 him, and that lie
should not be disturbed.
Pleased beyond measure at the result OF
their Interview with the president, the
two veterans left the White House togeth-
er, and paired to their hotel. Relying
upon the word Of the president thus given
to two of his old soldiers, they entertained
no further fears of dismissal. The very
next morning at breakfast the New York
| co.icctor was Mortified UPON pcru>ing the
city journals, for in the list Of appoint

CAUSE OF DRUNKEsNLss.-lnt the Probe,
published at the Sanitarium for Inebriates,
Media, Pa, some new facts with regard to
the causes of inebriety are noted. One
third Of the whole number Of patients in the
institution acquired taste for strong drink
in the social circle the other two-thirds
became drunk from constitutional teDden-
cies, inducing insanity in some, and reckless
disregard Of moral obligations in others. OF
the first class, twenty-five were cured; Of
the second, only eight Two-thirds Of the
whole had the benefit Of Christian and tenn
peranoe training. while only twenty-three
had been neglected. From this it would
seem that the Temperance question requires
to be considered in variety of aspects, and
that almost every subject affecting human
interests deserves careful attention
