BEAUTY OF A JERUSALEM SUMNER
During the two months of March and
April, Jerusalem is dense mass Of flow
ers of an Incompatible freshness of col
ors. Lively and graceful turtle doves,
blue-birds SO slight that they alight up
on blade of grass without bending it,
feet of the traveller, little brook turtle,
with quick, soft eyes, storks of grave and
modest air, putting off all timidity, al
low themselves to be approached very
closely by man, and seem to call to him.
In no place in the world do the noun
tains spread out with more harmony or
inspire loftier IDEAS Jesus seems to
have loved them especially. The most
important acts of his divine career were
performed upon the mountains; there
he was best inspired; there he had the
secret conferences with the ancient proph-
cts and showed himself to his disciples

Mrs. DIR. MARY WALKER IN AN AwK-
WARD FIx.-The recent accounts of the
failure of this lady to obtain an inter-
view with Gen. Grant because she wore
pantaloons, have revived the following
anecdote: "While in the army of the
Potomac, in the summer of 1868, DIR.
Walker visited the headquarters of Col.
afterwards Gen. Samuel Carroll of the
second army corps. Failing in all her
efforts to obtain her regular commission
as surgeon in the army, and having only
permission to remain with the troops in
the capacity of nurse, the doctor was
frequently obliged to accept the hospital
ity of officers. On the occasion referred
to, she plainly stated to Col. Carroll hen
intention of tarrying at his headquarters
a few days for the laudable purpose Of
looking after the sick. OF course the
general consented, and being as gallant
as he is brave, offered her the sole use OF
his tent, which she accepted. So far SC
good. Early on the morning after hen
arrival, field officer of the 18th West Vir
ginia regiment, of CarrolPs Brigade

ing officer, generally an early riser
should remain in bed at so late an hour
L have it said he, thinking a moment
and approaching the tent, he quietly un
tied the canvas doors, winking at tn,
same time to several staff officers who
we're near by, attempting to control theil
risibilities. The face of the sleeper was
hidden by the bed covering, which the

couch, and encircling two warm ankle.

the head of the bed intently to see if the
sleeper awoke, shouted at the top of hi.

The rest Of the sentence was lost in 3

and the jolly officer, abashed and dumb

GENERAL GRANTS ADMINISTRATION. - The
country papers are still discussing the question
whether Gen. Grants administration thus far
has been d success or failure. The Brockport
Rtpublic, one of the most respectable republi-
can organs in the western part ofthis state, re
marks that ''deneral Grant evidently made
mistake in accepting present while his name
was before the public as a candidate for high
Office. When he accepted the gift of house
he put himself under obligations to the donors.
When at the latter period some of those donors
are rewarded with high and profitable Offices il
becomes a very diflcult if not impossible task
to satisfy tho public that they are not bestowed
in consideration Of the gift. However honest
General Grant may be regarding the matter,
his acceptance OF Present from certain per
sons, and then lestowing Offices on those per
sons leaves him open to II charge prejudteial
TO his good nan,c' Added to this is a charge
OF ingratitudc against General Grant for his ne-
ical friends. Bat adds the Repnbltc, as q
whole General Grants administration is thus
far great success" II is gratifying to learn
this fact after the recaptulaton of so many o
the Generals shortcomings. Ii is not unlike
garroting a man and then expressing cnntri
tion for the act in court Of justice. We lool
in vain among our country exchanges for the
utterance of any sentiment showing warn
and unconditional support of the administra
ton of General Grant. So far as can be judge
from the express ion Of public opinion thus ia
Grants personal popularity prevails chief
among office holders and hostlels. ~ !

AN EXCITING scENE.-As one of the
Courlland street ferry boats was leaving the
slip on the Jersey City side, between and
9 o'clock on Wednesday morning, gentle
man and lady, holding by the hand little
girl, some eight years old, attempted 10 jump
on. Miscalculatlng the distance in the con
fusion OF the moment, the child slipped from
their grip, and in moment il was lost from
sight in lhe bubbling waters below, Quick
as thought, gentleman on the recedlng
boat plunged into the river, and after briei
struggle with the waves succeeded in rescu-
ing The child and bringing ii alive TO the
wharf The ferry boat, all this time, kept
ON her way 10 the New York side. The
poor mother, meanwhile, seeing the rescue
| OF the child, but at too great distance to
know whether il was dead OR alive, her
agony and suspense may be imagined. The
Child was taken into one of the ferry hands,
and ON tue application of the usual restora-
tiyes speedily recovered from its mlsadven,,
ture. Who the gentleman was who rescued
her, we could not ascertain, as with the true
modesty OF a real hero he disappeared from
the crowd as soon as his work OF humanity
had been accomplished-N Y. EDenths
