GENERAL GRANTS CHARACTER
iii AN INTERESTING AN
,''' ECDOTE.

10 the Editor of the Ravenna (O.) Democrat.
General Grant is said to be bad man.
Perhaps he isl don't know. IF he is he
has changed wonderfully since he left
the."rmy. AS proof of this will give
an incident which came under my obser-
walton:
"hlle our army lay at City Point, on
the James River. at the mouth of the Ap-
pomattox, in Virginia, my duties as AS
slstant Adjutant General Of United States
yolnnteers called me there to consult with
General Grant. One afternoon, when
walking out with the General Che being
IN military undress, with nothing to indi-
cate his rank, We passed boy of 10 or
II wears of age, fishing. 49,. .,.Ya
Grant-But, have you good luck to-.
Boy-Not very. They don't bite to-
day. .... ii
Grant-You have got few here won't
you give them to me? .. '....
The tears started in the little fellows
eyes, as he said, II have had no breakfast
to-day, and no dinner, and if don't sell
my hsh l shall have nothing to get me a
supper" aoY s...-... -. 60. !.
General Grant inquired as to his histo-
ry The boy was native of Michigan,
and his mother was widow. To obtain
money t. support his widowed mother, he
went into the army asa waiter fora Cap
tain IF the Michigan troops, whose name
| cannot recollect. The Captain was
dead, and he had not friend left. ~. 5
Grant-Bub,do you know where Grants
quarters are 2 r., sfru vfE..
Boy-Yes, sir. .g5 i. ga5 Isl
Grant-7Bring your fish up there at 10
o'clock ana he will buy them. .a8 =.
Pnnctually at the time the boy was on
hand, with his string of fish, but was
promptly stopped by the orderly in iron,
OF the quarters. General Grant, over.
hearing the order, stepped out, took the
little fellow by the hand, led him into
his quarters, and becoming satisfied with
the truth of kis story, procured for him a
suit Of clothes, a hat. a free pass on the
railroads home,and gave him $50 in mon,
ey. ~
Nov Grant may be bad mani am
net going to argue that qaestion-but
mt believe you can make the mother oil
that boy believe it. ql L. V. BIERcE.

AN APPROACHING MARRIAGE

. = . ~
[ Was hington letter to The New York World I
Another marriage soon to be celebrated
is that OF Miss Hattie Risley, sister of Miss
Olive Risley Seward, the adopted daugh.
ter OF the recently deceased statesman.
Miss Rlsley is now In Washington visit
ing friends prior to her marriage. Her
father, 1T will be remembered, was, dur
ing the administration of Lincoln and
Johnson, solicitor of the. treasury. His
eldest daughter, Olive, was the school.
matesand chosen friend of Mr.. Stewards
only daughter, Fannie, while Mr.. Risley
was personal friend of MI. Seward. The
friendship between the families was of
long-standing. The assassin Payne was
IN reality the murderer of the gentle and
lovely Fannie Seward. 1t was she who
struggled with the assassin when he first
attacked her father, and it was she who
atterward identified Payne. But she
never rec overed from the shock of that
fearful night, and slowly but surely her
health failed, until she died after several
months confinement to her room, always
grleVe to think OF that young girl, W HON
never saw bnt once or twice, but who
produced on all who met her even casu-
ally lasting impression, so pure was her
character and SO innocent and winning
her lface, voice and manner. Adopting
her friend as bis daughterwas beautiful
tribute of the father to the memory of his
child, Surely Mr.. Seward showed his
wisdom as we'll as his affection, for his
adopted daughter has not only been q
comfort, but help to him, and the life
OF study they have led has suited the
young girlas we'll as the old statesman
Ii has been the habit OF the two since
their return from their trip around the
world to discuss at the breakfast table
each day their plans for the days work,
then to separate, Mr.. Seward going to his
and Miss Seward to her,study. AT @ GER
tam hour they met, compared their work
ana talked it over. ip H u3fu

LUNATIC ASYLUMS.

81.
Considerable public discussion has re.
Gently been INDUCED III concerning the
facility with, which persons Of sound
mind, but alleged to be insane. can be
shut up in lunatic asylums and kept there
despite all their efforts to get free. AS a
proof that these charges are groundless,
the managers Of a lunatic asylum in this
city state: y sd-1Ja COOK s.a.
'Befole a patient can enter the ASYLUM.
it is necessary to obtain lunacy warrant
from a Justice of the Peace or a Police
Magistrate of New York city, which can
only be issued on the evidence Of two
physicians" nsn.ng -
This, then, is the only barrier between
any man in New York city and o lunatic
asylum! Let my two physlcians certify
TO mans insanity, and magistrate will
issue a ''lunacy warrant, uand the victim
will be locked up with m&dmen and kept
from all communication with anybody
except those who procured his incarcera.
When one remembers that there are
physicians in New York who are among
the basest villains of the age, and that
the warrants issued by magistrates arc
usually filled up by undertakings and
signed by the Justice as matter of course
it IS frightful to think what abuses may
be perpetrated in this matter under the
solemn forms of law.
A radical change is needed in this
whole business. No man should be sent
to lunetic asylum on any private process;
whatever. The application for a commit.
ment should de made in open court, after
reasonable notice to all the relatives or
both sides, and also to the counsel of the
alleged lunatlc. And, if he has no eoun.
eel, then the court shall assign him one, ai
in the case of criminals.

RAILROAD CONDUCTORS.

From a report presented to the Life
Insurance Company of the Railroad Con
ductors of the United States we learn
that during the year ending Angus l,
1879. no less than thirty two conductors
have been removed from the association,
either by sudden death, disease or pernna-
nent disability for life on the road An
examination into the statistics of these
removals shows the following facts !;
Sixteen conductors met with their death
attheir posts, Of whom televen were on
freig bit trains and five with passenger
trains, Two conductors had each an
arm amputated, and one lost leg by &C
cident; one died of sunstroke on the
New Jarsey Southern, three died of
spine disease, and twelve died of con
sumption. every one of whom were pas
senger conductors II rs a matter of
grave consid eratiBn for conductors gen
erally that the disease claims such q
large percentage of their number, but it
is presuma6le that eating hurried meals,
keeping irregular hours and exposure to
all the weather is the cause of" it. AS
the main railroads of this country are all
earning large dividends for their stock
holders, they are in a condition to have q
sufficient number of conductors to pre-
vent them being brought to early graves
by overwork. The post Of q conductor
on passenger train is a fearfully respon-
sible one. The lives of hundreds of hu
man beings are daily in their keeping
This berg the case it is important that
they should have the full possession OF
all their physical and metal vigor in or.
DER to meet any emergency that may
arise. This they cannot have if COMPEL.
ed to run constantly between widely
separated points. If railroads will EN-
ploy more conductors and pay them lib
orally they will decrease the mortality
among this class of their employees and
at the same time increase the safety O.
their trains. aial-w 53@3@#3 L.@sS3@

GRANTS INDIAN POLICY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-The following
is that part of Assistant Secretary Cow
ans forthcoming report to the Secretary
of the Inferior,regarding his observations
Of the working Of the Presidents Indian
policy; Il have returned from my three
months tour among the Ind ians,more than
ever convinced of tie. prQpriety and feas
ioility of the Presidents policy in the
conduct of the Indian affairs. If time be
given it must more and more commend
itself to the Christian people of the coun-
try. 1t is Of ST. recent origin that as yet
1t is not fairly inaugurated in all its de-
tails It seems to me, however, that some
of the church missionary authorities have
not yet fully realized the importance of
the work which the President in the es-
tablishment of his policy intended them
to perform They were requested to Sc,
lect agents, and the Department. expected
themto name men OF integrity, business
experience and capacity sufficient to con-
duct the affairs efgthe agency honestly
and efficiently. This has been done in a
highly satisfactory manner, but the new
policy contemplates the moral and relip-
ious culture of the Indians, to effect which
agents should be men not only in favor Of
policy, out who will take an active par:
in promoting it in all it's details. THIS
can only he done pFopeFfyasI believe, by
men OF pronounced religious convictions
and it would be much better in all cases
| if they were communicates of their re.
spectiFe churches having control Of their
agency. 1t is not enough that agents are
willing to tolerate missionary work among
their people. They should be men who
can and will render efficient aid them
selves in the work,and cordially acquiesce
IN all proper missionary appliances.
There are men now on duty as agentswho.
although good business men, have no con.
fidence whatever in the capacity or dispo-
sitlon OF Indians for moral or mental i'm
provement, Hor any desire, apparently. to
sec the experiment tried Such men are
obstacles to the missionary labors. who I
am well satisfied The churches that nom
mated them would promptly remove II
their attention were invited to the snh-
Ject. These same remarks apply to all
Government employees and at the aoen-
cies. The success OF the present policy
is SO natterIng that l'would gladly see II
J perfected and carried out to its fullest ex-
tent and capacity. Religious bodies have
rendered such valuable assistance in tile
past, and seem so heartily in accord with
the Executive Department., that thev will
undoubtedly act upon suggestions aAout
1t made whenever it may be necessary TO
replace unfit agents by those who will be
ehtiTely satisfactory to the Department,
while at the same time carrying out in its
particulars the details OF the neace nol;.
