How Grant Kept Borie in the Dark.

How Grant Kept BOrie i'm the Dark.
How we'll Grant kept the secret of the
Cabinet ia shown by a story concerning
Mr.. BoFie, the Secretary of the Navy.
Mr.. Borie went on to Washington to see
the Inauguration of the new President,
bat without the slightest thought or de-
sire of call to the Cabinet. He called
on the new President on the afternoon of
the h of March, and found him at
Wo-k in his office. "Ah Mr.. Borie,"
said Grant, shave you come on, too, to
spy out the Cabinet ?" Not at all, ("
replied Mr.. Borie; 1 came only to see
you sworn in as President, and have
called to offer my friendly congrRtula-
tions before returning home" When
do you return ?n asked Grant" ITO
morrow. in the noon train," said R0rie.
4" Well, goodbye" said the President; (;
"mske my regards to your family"
Mr.. Borie bowed himself out, and did
not suspect that he was the "msn from
Pennsylvania" until the next afternoon,
when the train stopped at Wilmington,
and he heard hia name read out to an
eager crowd at the depot as that Of the
Secretary of the Navy.

Of Judge CardsxO In Favor Of Plaintiff:
In the case Of White Va. Mattoon Judge Cardozo

the case were fully given In the HERALD few days
since. Without expressing other Vows that he en-
tertains on the conflicting evidence in the
case he decides that the plaintiffs positive
assertions a. to the agreement should prevail over

there need be no renecu0n upon the veraclty Of
