GARmAI.DI AND GRANT. - Som.
months ago a number Of American
gentlemen visited the Island of Ca
prera and dined with the famous Gen.
eral Garibaldl. At the close Of the
dinner, General Garibaldl said that he
would like to make q few remarks,
specially intended for his American
friends. He had watched with deer
interest tho rise Of the Republic, 1t:
successful struggle against slavery and
dlsunion, and Its great triumph. Great
rs it had been in war, It had beer
greater still In peace. He had closely
scrutinized the career Of General
Grant. His admiration OF him as a
military commander was unqualified
but he had shown himself a statesman,
especially in his dealings with the
South. His kindness, patience and
magnanimity had led to a thorough
reconstruction Of the Union-in Itself
one Of the most remarkable results OF
a bitter and prolonged contest. With
these words he proposed the health Of
General Grant, and hoped that II any
Of his auditors saw the President they
would convey to him the highest mark
Of his personal esteem and consldera-
tlon.

HE extent to which Western ideas
are influencing the Eastern notions Is
conspicuously shown by the statement
of the Minister from Japan, made at
Yale College a few days since, to the
effect that English was universally
used rs the language Of all the new
schools In the country, and that event
ually, by the influence of the schools,
most Of the Japanese would use the
English tongue. There are now five
hundred Japanese In this country, en-
gagged in the study of our institutions
and customs, and the influence of these
when they returItot their own people,
must tend to accelerate the move
ments already 80 vigorously started In
the direction of a Japanese Christian
civilization. We learn also that sew
eral Professors have lately been sent
out from Rutgers and other colleges,
to take charge of educational instltu-
tions in Japan.

A BIT OF FAMILY HIsToRY.-The
cloud of mystery which has heretofore
shrouded the antecedents Of Mrs. Vic
toria G. Woodruff has lent an air OF
romance to the history of her career
as clalrvoyant, broker and editor, and
given some color to the suggestion of
her renowned blographcr, that she was
not born as common mortals are, but
owed her origins to spiritual influences.
The Lewisburg PA Chronicle, how
ever, clears away something of this
romance by publishing the following
bit of family history: During the
year 1885, and for some years before
and after, there lived on the farm now
occupied by Samuel Geist, in Union
county, near the village of New Ber-
lin, a poor but honest family, headed
by a Mr.. John Hammel. One Of this
family was Rosanna, better known as
Ann Hammel. During the winter Of
1856, Ann took n fancy to- young
man named Buckham Clafln, q Hoo
sIer by birth, a peddler by profession.
who was selling wooden nutmegs and
tinware In that portion of the country.
The fancy was ~reciprocated, and the
loving: couple were probably mar
ried, for we next find them keep
ing tavern at Chestnut Ridge, and
afterward In tho numbering regions of
the Sinemahoning; and finally they
removed to Ohio, where o daughter
was born. whom they named Victor
Claflin. Tennessee and the rest fol-
lowed in due time. Many Of the cit
liens Of Union . county were we'll
with Mrs. Claiin, and
vouch for the truth Of the above state
ments.

Lawyer. OF tho Pos. and Present.

Colonel Forney writes: GAS mark
ing the difference between the lawyers
Of the past aud present, l heard an
anecdote Of John Sergeant the other
day, which shows how the giants esti-
mated their professional services and
by what sensitive and scrupulous rules
they squared their actions. A distin.
guished merchant, still living, called
upon Mr.. Sergeant for his.oplnlon In
an important case, which was duly
prepared and sent by ono of the stu
dents of the great lawyer. The mer-
chant opened the letter and after glanc-
Ing over 1t asked the student for the
charge. He said he did not know the
contents of the paper and could not All
swer. The merchant then signed q
blank check, and sent 1t back to Mr..
Sergeant by the same hand, with a
message that he should flllit up with
the amount of his fec. This very stu
dent, now one OF the leading members
Of the Philadelphia bar, graphically
describes the effects of tho oommuni-
cation. He says he never saw a little
man (Mr. Sergeant was Of slight stat
ure) so suddenly tower into a giant.
'Mr. - entirely misunderstands
me, sir! Go back to him, sir, and say

Phe.one.sn or II. N.r,..r. Fire
From the Green Bay Advocated

lrrVm Inc Hreeu pay AQVoCate,l
There are some phases Of the great
calamity. which fell; upon this region
last week worthy Of scientific inyesti-
cation. The testimony Of the cooler
headed survivors OF the fires at Pesh-
tigo and Sugar Bush and Williams
willie Is united as to one phenomenon.
They say that the fire did not come
upon them gradually from burning
trees and other objects to the wind
ward, but the first notice they had of
It was a whirfwind of flame. in great
clouds, from above the tops Of the
trees, which fell upon and enveloped
everything. The atmosphere seemed
one Of fire. The poor people inhaled
II, or the intensely hot afr, and fell
down dead. This Is verified by the
appearance of many Of the corpses.
They were found dead In the roads
and open spaces where there were no
visible marks Of fire near by, with not
a trace of burning upon their bodies
or clothing. ATT the Sugar Bush,
which Is an extended clearing, In some
places four miles In width, corpses
were found In the open road, between
fences which were only slightly burnt.
No mark Of fire was upon them, but
they laid there rs II asleep. This phe-
nomenon seems to explain the fact
that so many were killed in compact
masses. They seemed to have hud-
died together In what were evidently
regarded at the moment as tho safest
places, away from buildings, trees, or
lnflammable materials, and there to
have died together. Fences around
cleared fields were burned In spots of
only a few rods In length, and else
where not touched. Fish were killed
In the streams-as at Peshtigo.
We hear the universal testimony
that the prevailing idea among the
terror-strlcken people Of those places
was that the last day had come. They
needed not to be terror-stricken for
SUCH imaginings. What other expla-
nation could be given to that immi-
nent time, when there was an ominous
warning and sound coming from the
distance; when the sky, so dark just
before, burst into great clouds Of fire,
the beasts Of the forest came running
for succor into the midst OF the settle
ment., and the great, red, consuming,
roaring hell offire fell upon all around.
The dreadful scene lacked nothing but
tho sounding Of the last trump-and
indeed the approach OF the awful roar
ing md the premonitfons from the
distance supplied even that to the
appalled, imaglnings of the people.
The Epsy theory, we think 1t Is,
that continued and widespread fires
will bring On rain, seems to be ex-
ploded In this instance. These fires
had lasted nearly or quite four weeks,
ravaging forests over a great area, and
still not a drop of rain. The rain only
came with q change Of wind to the
northward, and several days after the
vyorst hurninpa ware over with,
