Sale of Offices by Grant.

General Grant, since his accession
to ipower, has evinced a remarkable
Improvement in his capacity for max 9
ing money, compared to what Is wasi.
when working for his father in the
Galena tannery at forty dollars 3
month. The following from the New
York World shows that the President,
intends to lay by something for rainy !,
day: a..l .r..5..s a,di
encing in reference to the appoint
ments for office in the District of Co &
lumbia, according to all reports, arises r
from acts on the part of the President
which make hifa amenable under the
bribery law. It's well known to the
public that Grant originally sold his L
house in Washington tor Mr. Sayles n
j. Cowens formerly Postmaster, for3 Is
forty thousand dollars, entered into sao2
contract to deliver the title, and, Mr. 2
Bowen paid the usual ten per cent, 'toes1
bind the bargain. Subsequently, seEs
sum of sixty. five Thousand, dollars o
was raised in New York to purchase 9
the house for General Sherman.-s;Is
Grant thereupon resold it to those
parties, but before he could transfer
the title, he found his contract with
Bowen in the way, and that gentleman
insisting that the property was his q
and he the only person who could sell
it. Mr.. Bowen was willing to sell the
house to the parties who raised the
money for the price named, for tt ere
bys he could make profit of S25, 600, :
But Grant insisted upon having the
twenty-five thousand extra himself
How to get it and get rid Of his. con-
tract with Bowen was difficult ques-
tion. ..,.-'.s.,r 60 z.i;.s to r,

On the road / questioned David
concerning his fathers condition, and
learned that he was rapidly sinking.
Some months before, while engaged in
his usual field labor, he had been smit-
ten with paralysis. The stroke was
very slight, and after an intermission
of week or Two, he had been able to
resume work but since then, one
shock had succeeded another with in
creasing violence, until it became evi-
dent that his earthly career was draw
ing TO speedy close.
'tFather's very anxious to see you,
SIR" said David, "because he's afraid
that before many days he may lose the
use of his limbs. Hes got little enough
to leave, poor soul, Heaven knows;
but he wants that little fairy divided
betwixt Reuben and me. You know
that Reuben's temper, sir, isn't always
of the best %
Indeed / do, David" I answered.
cit would be well that your father
should put his wishes in writing, if
possible"
'eThat's what i was thinking, sir,
and now's the best time to do it. l
left Doctor Webb in the cottage, ard
Reuben and his wife will be there Iy
the time we get back. should like
the will to be made in the presence of
everybody who has anything to gain
by it, with you, sir, and Doctor
Webb for witness and then there
can't be any dispute afterwards"
By the time we had reached the
door of John Dymond's cottage, the
sky had grown very dark, and large
heavy drops, the fcrerunners of a del
uge about to follow, had begun to pat
ter down. L was not sorry, therefore
that had listened to Davids advice,
and brought my umbrella. 5 z.i~.
