How Grant Got Caught,

The Washington correspondent Of
the Times tells the following story
sGenera1 Grant learned the folly of
cheap recommendation during the
war by sad experience. General Hill
Ngslr relates that shortly after the fall of
Vicks69rg a surgeon ofan Illinois fegi-
ment, who lad won his (Hillyer's) af-
fections by some means, complained to
Lin Of the unp1easantness of nom
combatant's position to a man of pecu-
Iiarly belligerent disposition like h1In-
saIfssnd requested him as favor to
recommend him for some position
where he could do a little lighting.
HilIyer was delighted at the opporGu-
nifty to recommend such fighting doc
tor, and at the further suggestion ana
request of the surgeon promised to get
General Grants signature TO the same.
And did, too, General Grant saying,
s'I do this, ,Hillyer, on your recommen-
datiGn you know the man ?" The
was appended. Nothing was heard ot
the matter again until General Gram
came East, and was in want of a few
general officers! On his application
Mr.. Stanton sent him, among Others
gadier-General , the forme'
surgeon. Grant soon found he coulG
not drill a regiment, and with consld
erable feeling demanded of Mr.. Stan
ton to know why he had sent him sucl
a man. Mr.. Stanton in reply, shoWeV
the recommendation signed .. s. Grant
There could be no reply, and mucl
mortified Grant turned away Sine
that time recommendations hav
meant more TO him than ever.

The Dayton Jourtsl tells a romantic
story of wedding which took. place in
that city the other day. Mr.. H. became
attracted to Miss R., whose cruel
parents objected to the match. Five
years elapsed, and no opportunity was
offered for the renewal of the love af-
fair. n. accidentally met the young
lady at the house of a minister, when
ne renewed proposal Of TrIstrTla5es
was accepted, and forthwith procured a
license. He was building house for
himself, and while pondering over the
uncertainty of human events, deter
mined to secure his happiness by coup
a. etat. Walking over TO the minister's
house, with a hatchet in his hand, that
it had not occurred to him, in his pre-
occupied state, to leave on the work
bench, he found his i7ldn1oTdtd engaged
In ironing clothes. He hurriedly ac-
duainted her with his desires, and in
sisted upon having the marriage cere-
mony sOlemnized at that very hour.
The lady protested, but FL. was determ-
ined, and at length she yielded. The
minister was called in; and laying
aside her smoothing iron, and III. drop
ping his hatchet, and without any
other preparation, they stood up in the
presence of the family, and were united
for life

We are glad to see that the old and
dangerous method of heating cars on
railroads is being gradually done away
with. The Lake Shore Railroad Com
pany have adopted q new patent heat
CIR, and are putting them in as fast as
possible. The heater is an arrange
ment Of gas pipe which passes entirely
around the car near the floor, with
branches under every seat. This con-
meets at one end with coil of pipe par
ticu1ariy arranged. Water is then
forced into the pipe throughout It's
whole length, and fire built in the
stove. In the course of an hour the
water becomes hot, and thus an even
heat is diffused throughout the whole
car. This is a great Improvements over
the old style, and besides it is safer, as
in case of an accident what little fire
there is in the stove would be put out
by the water, which would run out
whenever the connection of the pipes is
severed.

with more logical courage than any Radical
in Congress has yet displayed, it holds
that the doctrine of self-government is the
outlaws doctrine which it is just and proper
to put down with the strong arm, by any
means that may be within the strong arms
reach-be it carnage in battle, be it massa-
ere in cold blood, be it spoliation, devastation,
determination. But it happens that the
world in general has not yet advanced to the
position taken by this expounder of Radical
logic in upholding as sacred and indsfeasible
the right of despotism to fortify and perpet-
uate itself by every crime in the range of
possible atrocities, by every horror which o
dismal fancy can conceive or merciless inge-
nuity invent We doubt if even among most
of the Radicals the better part of human ma
ture has been so sunk by political debauchery
that they do not experience impulses of gen.
uine sympathy for people struggling for the
principle of self-government, as the Cubans
are, against one of the gloomiest and dead
Hest despotisms known to history, ancient or
mo1arn

Between them had not made the two less free
Only their eyes told what they could not say.

And often sought her haunt, far of to fling

sELF-GovKRNMENT oUTLAwED.

The New York Times is not a model Of
logic and consistency. In its immoderately
moderate manner of TRAILING in the rear of the
political vandalism which has been ravaging
the liberties of the American people, it has
been led to stultify itself upon almost every
question incident to contemporary politics.
But in one instance at least we are called
upon to give it credit for being more logical
and consistent from the Radical point of de-
parture than the most ultra of the Radicals
Discussing the propriety of recognizing the
insurgent Cubans as belligerents, for which
propositions are now pending in both houses
of Congress, the Times virtually denounces
as fallacious and criminal the whole theory
of the inherent right of self-government pro-
claimed in the Declaration of Independence.
Here are its own words to this effect
The truth Is, we are not in q condition to set
ourselves up as champions in general of insurrec-
ton. The United States to-day owes its integrity
to the vlgor and success with which 1t has assert
ed the right of government to put down rebel.
lion. We have demonstrated our conviction that
rebellion is not Of itself good thing-that it 10 a
thing which the authority rebelled against may
put down, II 1t can, by any means within its reach;
and that. while the struggle goes on the mere
recognition of the rebels by another government
il an of1ense not soon to be forgiven. Will Mr..
Sherman or Mr.. Banks oondescend to explain why
We should condemn conduct on the part of Spain
in its nature identical with our own course toward
the Southern rebels; or what has occurred to jus
tify our recognition of the Cuban instruction
which England and France might not properly
plead in justification Of their recognition of the
JEFF. Davis government!
Under Radical Technology, everything is
instruction or rebellion which opposes the
assumption of arbitrary power by govern
ment which chooses to make itself imperial
and despotic. Such is the logic of the con-
struction put by the Radical politicians upon
the military coercion of the seeding States,
and of the practical results which they insist
on deriving from the defeat of the Southern
effort for Independence. The Times thinks it
would be more becoming in them to stand up
to this logic by openly sympathizing with
Spain in her frantic and sanguinary measures
for perpetuating Spanish despotism over the
Cubans, than to encourage the latter in their
patriotic endeavors to obtain selfgoyernment.
And, undoubtedly, decency would require the
former course, if the government of the
United States, in the opinion Of mankind. had
pledged its adhesion to holy alliance of all
the despotisms in the world against the prin-
ciple of selfgovernment, wherever and under
whatever circumstances men may dare to as
sertit The Times evidently believes that such
pledge was, by implication, given when the
federal government adopted the Radical
theory Of the subjugstion of the South and,

Mr.. Charles W. Eliot has been elected
president of Harvard University. and the
choice is regarded as significant symptom
of the revolution now going on in the general
tone of philosophical thought, and as blow
at the educational system which prevails in
our great institutions of learning. Hereto
fore, the presiding officers of our colleges
have been eminent classical scholars; or, if
science has been recognized at all, only the
pure mathematics have been permitted to fur
nish representative. Mr.. Eliot is scientist,
and graduated at the Institute of Tech
nology-an appendage which modern de-
mands have affixed to the university. His
election is victory of physical science over
the educational system which has prevailed
since the days of Abelard, and defeat of the
arrogant metaphysical and classical school
which has affected SO much contempt for
the triumphs of modern physical philosophy.

The following poetry which to-day, the day
after Good Friday the day when the body OF
the Son of Man lay in the tomb, awaiting the
Easter rising of the Son of God, is peculiarly
appropriate, is a translation of poem of the
sixteenth century, by Gabrielle Fiamma, an
Italian, and was rendered into English by
Montgomery. The subject of the poem is
still fresh in the minds of many of our read
ers, and they may, in meditation upon this
poem, find food for yet deeper thought upon
the sublime mystery which was yesterday
commemorated
