GRANT AND JoHNsoN.-President Grant on being
asked whether he had read the account in the New
York Herald OF a conversation between Andy John
and the Washington correspondent of that paper
smiled and answered:
Yes, sir, l have read it"
"Well, what do you think Of it? he was further
asked.
We'll, think Mr.. johnson used some very hard
words, said Grant.
Andy johnson on being tsld bya friend that he had
been rather too ouspoken about Grant in his CONVEX
sation with the Herald correspondent quickly replied
" Not bit of it. What's the use of being anything
else but ouspoken? The man who fears to speak out
what is in his heart, and #ho,danty picks his words
when talking about matters of great public Importance
is worse than coward For my part think this ret
icence is all humbug. Speak out and tell the people
the plain truth. That's what the people want-not du
plcity and reticance"

Our Father, who art in the Heavens be sancti.

IS IN Heaven also on the earth give daily and

give them that sin against US and bring us not into

ANTONY and Cleopatra

am dying, Egypt, dying,
Ebbs the crimson life tide fast,
And the dark Plutunian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arm, oh Queen, support me,
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear,
Listen to the great heart secrets,
Thou, and thou alone, must hear
a Though my SCARED and veteran legions
Bear thir eagles high no more;
Though my wrecked and scattered galleys
Strew dark Actium's fatal shore;
Though no glittering guards surround me,
Prompt to do their masters will,
must perish like Roman
Die the great friumvir still.
Let not Caesars servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foeman' 8 hand that slew him,
Twas his own that struck the blow.
Hear, then, pillowed on thy bosom,
Ere his star fades quite away,
HIM who, drunk with thy caresses,
Aadly flung world away.
Should the base plebean rabbe,
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home,
Seek her-say, the gods have told me-
Affairs, augurs, circling wings
That her blood with mine commingled
Yet shall mount the throne of kings.
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian,
Glorious sorc'ress of the Nile
Light the way to Stygian horrors,
With the splendor of thy smile.
Give the Caesar crewns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel Irvine,
can scorn the Senate's triumphs,
Triumphing III love like thine.
I am dying, Egypt, dying!
Hank! the insulting foeman's cry;
They are coming-quick, my falchiou
Let me from: them ere die.
All no more amid the battle,
Shall my heart exultant swell;
Isis and Osiris guard thee
Cleopatra Rome! farewell

MAN VINO Has Nor SLEPT FOR Four YEARs-A
very singular of wakeuness has just been brought
to our notice. Joseph Herr, cabinet maker, about
60 years of age, has not had half hours continuous
sleep for four years. The case thus stated to us
About four years since daughter of Mr. Herr became
very i'll and Mr. Fl. watched at her bedside day and
night, for six weeks, when she died. All this time he
took no Sleep stating that he felt desire for it,
few days after the death of his daughter he nail
into his foot and this confined him his bed for seven
eight weeks hour of which time could he Oh.
tain sleep. After recovery from his wound he still
failed to obtain rest from sleep, and the matter con-
tnued to 60 on from week to month, and from month
to year His health has suffered and he complains of
great debility He applied to leading physician of
this city, who prescribed powerful opate but it had
no more effect upon him, as he says than snap of his
finger. He again applied to the same physician, re-
questing that the dose be increased To this the ply
stefan objected, stating that it would be dangerous He
stated he did care. and another opiate was pre-
pared strong enough it is alleged to put three or four
ordinary men to sleep and never wake up again. This
had better effect than the first, and the physician
refused to admisster any doses of that kind but
advised his patient, as last resort, to get on high
old bender" This experiment has not yet been tried
and it may be question whether he. can swallow
enough liquor to produce INVESTIGATION and soporifer-

but in consequence of his malady is unable to do any
kind of physical labor 1t is certainly strange case
