A PRESIDENT who understands his

we'll GRANT fills the bill may be inferred
from the following item which we ex
tract from the Baltimore Sun:
Gen. J. C. Robinson recently called
upon the President and thanked him fo
appointing his son cadet at Wes
Point, but declined the honor, on tn,
ground that the President had already
appointed the Same young man a cadet
at the Naval Academy.
The question now arises had ULYSSES
forgotten the first appointment or did
he suppose the boy could fill both placesi
GRANT evidently acts upon the idea "it's
no use to be President unless you can
do as you please" The other day he
suspended "the smoking rules" at An
napolis, and on all days seems disposed
to suspend" the rules requiring the
President to have few grains of COM
mon sense.

Dumping Wagon.

They have brought into use in Maine
a new style of farm wagon to take the
place of the cart, and it is said to be ex.
ceedingly handy for unloading manure
wood, and anything else that may be
dumped. The construction of this vehi.
Gle is very much like the common wagon
only there is no reach used. Some one
writing from Maine thus describes it:
"Thers is q bard wood beam extend.
ing from the rocker to the rear axle, on
each side of the body, which beams sup.
port the body in dumping only, as they
rest upon the rocker at the fore end
end upon the iron rod, hereafter de.
scribed, at the rear end, when the wagon
is in motion. But when the body is
dumped, it turns upon an iron rod which
extends from beam to beam and through
the sills of the body, thus making a
hinge upon which it dumps. The body
extends back only to the rear axle, and
the side boards are cut obliquely, 90
they will not touch the axle in dump
ing. The loss in the side boards is made
up by the triangular pieces built upon
the tail-board. The tail-beard is hung
by hinge upon the axle, and may be
turned down or not, when the body is
dumped, at the pleasure of the operator
The body, when loaded, is supported
upon the rocker at the fore end, and at
the rear end by an iron rod running
from beam to beam, just in front of the
axle, which is grooyed just enough to
permit the rod to be withdrawn from
beneath the bottom of the body (Which
is trimmed with sheet iron two inches
wide to prevent wearing) when the load
is dumped, which is done by means OF
the upright lever, which is q continual
tion of the rod, and is bent upwards at
q right angle as soon as itpasses through
the beam, and it works the rod back ia
to the groove in the axle to let the body
dump, or it pushes the rod under the
body to hold it up and sustain the load.
his lever is held in place, to prevent
accidental dumping, by a spring attach
ed to the beam at one end and running
back to the lever, and has a notch in it,
into which the lever slips and is firmly
held. The load may be easily dumped
with one hand. No other fastening is
needed. The beams for a single wagon
should be FIVE inches wide, and one and
aquarter thick. They should extend
above the rocker and axle about an
inch.
1t has all the advantages of An ordi.
nary farm wagon for heavy work, and
the great additional advantage ofdump.
ing. 1t thus enables the farmer ordina.
rily to dispense. with carts entirely. 1t
costs no more than other wagons of the
same size, strength and style of finish,
and is equally durable and simple in
construction and operation. Among
the important improvements Of the daS
in agricultural implements, this is Ger.
tainly one."
