Grant at Ottawa.

Gfane n Ottawa.
One evening last week it was rumored sboat
town. In select circles. that President Grant and
party Of tourists would pas through Ottawa
on trip westward, and that the special train
carrying the party would arrive at the e., R. s.
p. depot at 10P.M.
In consequence of this important state OF
things number Of gentlemen, mostly of the
radical complexion, met at the Chiffon hotel in
the evening and arranged programme of exer.
cises somewhat as follows:
Firstly, they all took drink, and then they
proceeded to 'imbibe" After tedious lapse OF
time, to wit: three minutes, they "hoisted in
some cold pizsn." A motion was made that the
''calithurapian band" be called out to serensde
Grant; but this proposition was, as one man ex.
pressed it, 'ignomlniously and pusey.lanimously
voted down. After much difficulty, and seyen
more drinks all around, procession was organ.

When Grant appeared on tho rear platform Of
the hindInost car, the following speeches are sup

Mr.. Grant, in cssting your eagle vision upon
me you behold defeated candidate for county

I and excited populace. The members were
startled when the report was read and at
ter moment began whispering with each
other all over the hall. 1t was evident
| that they considered the sum too large
Soon Mr.. Myers of Jamaica I'VE think il
was) arose and in a cautious speech gave
| expression to this opinion. lie was fol
lowed by another, in the same vein and
then Mr. Glecd of Morristown, who va
the acknowledged Republican leader oi
the House, made an earnest speech in ia
vor of cutting down the sum to half a
million. 1t was not known to any but the
committee who was the author Of the pend
ing proposition, so when Judge Thomas
arose to reply to Mr.. Gleed, expectation
was on tip toe and curiosity in breathless
suspense to see what attitude the Demo.
crats were going to assume. Never before
had we seen an orator so nerved with his
subject as Judge Thomas seemed to be.
:. One million too much - exclaimed he
g / tell you we have got to measure our
steel with as gallant a foe as ever drew
the blade and it will severely tax the en-
tire resources of the country to overcome
them. Bat we can do 1t, we shall do 1t,
we uUsr do it. and now let Vermont lead
the van by an appropriation which shall
show the grandeur OF our purpose
lie sa. down. For a moment even the
ticking of clock could be heard, then the
galleries burst forth in tumultuous ap-
pIau-c aud the members joined it with a
total lorgetlulness Of dignity or order.
There were no more speeches and the vote
was taken. The names Of the Democrats
were all well known, and Just before each
was reached in calling the roll there was a
most hreath.ess stiffness. But one after
one fled in with bold and noble Sc ! es'
and when the last letter of the alphabet
was reached it was found that not a single
one. not even the man who, a few hours
before had declared he would MT vote i
man on dollar unless the Persona LIber-
ii Bill was first repealed, and not even
Mr.. Giecl VINO had so much feared that
so .arGe an appropriation would discourage
the people was found in the negative. The
announcement of the unanimous vote was
received with tumu.tu0u- applause, and
when Col. Hopkins and select choir,
each holding ltt.e faE. struck up In the
gail-ry the star Spaug.ed Banner, the
scene was one of the most thrilling and
glorious that We ever witnessed, and We
doubt if Gen. Thomas through all his sub
>cqueut bltt.e~ and houorS ever saw an
other SO proud aud triumphant moment
as that. The appropriation conferred AZ
honor on Vermont which Is one Of Tire
brightest pages in her history, and Gen.
Thomas may well be prouder OF it even
than of his authorship of the law to pay
our soldiers seven dollars month or Of
his uohle~t service in the war

\ CHICAGO GIRL AMONG THE WILD
CATs.-Some l. years since, when you
we're erecting new ire-tower in your city
hall building, on the plaza opposite the
Sherman house in Chicago. a young Chica-
90 girl, not yet in her teens, Marian
Evans, daughter of a then we'll known
resident Of the garden city, and member
of the Aubodon club, climbed on the work
mems ladders to the summit and than
walked fearessly around the ledge out
side, which was not yet surrounded with
the railing. Subsequently, she learned to
ride fearlessly as an Indian in the wilds of
Texas and the far southwestern frontier,
and in San Francisco was known as a
graceful equestrienne. and at picnics and
excursions as a dead shot with a revolver.
She Is now teaching school at the beauti-
ful mission Of Santa Margarita. San Luis
0bispo county, California. the region
abounds with game of the largest descrip-
tion' and Is a favorite resort for hunters
Last week, some dogs treed a wild animal
in the woods, near the school-house, and
Miss Evans rode to the spot TO see what
was going on. Sending for a gun, she put
a bullet through his head at the second
shot, and rode home in triumph. with a
21-pound California wild cat-about as
tough and large an animal as travels-to
exhibit as a trophy of her skill. She Is
going for bigger game next time, and ex-

least, California lion (puma} before Christ
