They heard happy voice ringing
through the hall, and Mildred said,
"You shall see my child, the adopted
daughter God sent to complete my con.
tent"
She went to the door, drew Elssio in
and presented her to Mr.. Hadon.
He stood for long time, holding her
hand, and looking In her face, whose
youth stirred his heart with an undeGna.
bic regret, seeing her features not so
much as images that its freshness called
up from the dimness Of the past.
Elsie's eyes never deceived her, Elsie's 9
memory never failed she rcccollected
this man. She had met him on that New.
Years Evo when she stood barcfootcd in
the snow. He had hurried by her with.
out even hearing her appeal for assistance.
She stood, at Grss, chilled by that re-
membrance, but Q better feeling came
over her as she looked up at him aud
read his face more clearly.
"God bless you," he said, "and mako
you worthy Of tho blessing Of this wo.
mans love. I cannot ask more for you,
child"
Aud Elsie saw the regret and pain in
his desolate face, and all the tenderness
Of her womanly nature went out toward

liabilities are that during the WliO'e Can
vass he makes promises and holds out
encouragements very liberal TO his sup
porters, and that a large proportion Of
the stump speeches are made by men
who knew exactly what their remard is
going 10 be.
Grant has escaped these horrible re-
sponsibiIities for various reasons. II the
first place he did not get his nomination
in the usual way. lie did moi want, or
certainly did not seek, the office, and
rigtdfy refrained from giving any sign that
II would Be agreeable to him to CT it.
He refused to lei his political opinions he
known when prominent politicians came
to enquire INTO them. He WENT out Of
his way, in fact, to snub and disgust
them. Consequently he was di>liked
and distrusted by them, and they were
determined, long before the convention
met, not to nominate him if they could
help it. They would have vastly prefer
red Chief Justice Chase, if he had not
given early evidence of unsoundnes>, and
had they succeeded in outsliog Johnson
by the impeachment trial, they would
have undoubtedly m de a desperate eff.
fort TO nominate Mr.. Wade. The failure
Of the impeachment and the desertion Of
Wade was, therefore, al awful blow to
them, and made Grant inevitable, for as
the meeting of the convention drew near
it became more and more evident that he
was the popular choice, and that he
would be forced upon the convention. no
matter how the managers might feel, in
ln(,,lt ~ con,ohnIu olo, with AZ I.,.ict
equal claims to popular confidence. Dur
ing the canvass he has been equally dis
eippoinling. In reply TO the formal tend
err of the nomination to him, he simply
promised in a few words to execute The
law faiihfulIy. Between that time aud
his election he did not utter ten words
in public. eIIe refused all addresses and
receptions, retired to his house in the
West, and remained there in perfect Sc
clusion. When anybody wrote TO him
profftring any kind of eleclioneering serv-
ice he strongly dissuaded him from rend-
ering it, and it is safe to say made no
promises Of reward to anybody. His
election consequently found him almost
unprecedentedIy free from trammeIS of
all sorts. On coming back TO Washing
Ton the "Boys in Blne" prepared a mon-
ster demonstration for him, and sent a
deputation TO him with the Mayor of
Washington al its head, to find out what
day it would suit him to have the tete
to come off He replied very blankIy
that no day would suit him, and that he
himself would take no part in anything
of the kind that he W. going TO live at
Washington as a private Citizen. and that
anybody who wanted 10 see him might
call at his house.

not prevent the newsp per corresponds
ems from spreading reports rs to what

one OF these reports has the smallest foun-
d:.iinn. In So far AS Grnrial Grant
takes advice as 10 the selection of his
cabinet, or as toaany other matter be fore
the %cal,inti is fofnird, it will probably be
by the advice Of Eliminate private fri, .nds,
such as General SHERMAN and Mr.. E. B.

r PR spntativeS The man who has most
Influence with him is undoubtedly Gene
raj Sherman, aud If there be anything IN
the world that Sherman dtle>tS 1t is The
professional politicians, and the machi-
merry of party politics. All this leads The
public to expect, at think with good
reason, that we shall now with, SIS under
Grlnt'S au>picrs HE long-wIsItd reform
il the civil service In the first place,
he will probably fl his cabinet solely
with reference TO fitness, and not on the
old plan of o%ffrrIrg the leading places us
compliments to the PreSid MS leading
competitors for Tie nomination. 1t was
on this prin iple that Mr.. Lincoln gave
the Stale Depar mrnt TO NJ. Seward, aud
the War Department to Nj. Cameron.
In the next place, there is hardly a doubt
that he will support with all his infu-
ence Mr.. JrnckeS' bill for the 4, form of
the civil s%rr>ic", aud Mr.. PatlerSon's or
the reform of The diplomatic service.
These would aSslmi ate all hranchesAof
the hdmlnlStrallV system 10 the army
and navy, make the tuure of PLACES per-
manrnt, giving promotions for good con-
duct AID Senioslty, and experimentation
pensions after a certain period of service,
and putting an end to the di>gracttul
scramble for Office which follows every
presidential election, and witch people
begin to admit, almost universally, must
be put an end TO if the government is 10

hardly refuse to pass these measures dur
ing th" coming SESSION (; # Ih'y do, their
professions Of reforming zeal, and of hor-
r0r of corruption, will become ridiculous.
Should Grant succeed 10 carrying out
these reforms, and succeed in maintain
