General Logan.

WHEN some one said to President Grant
that Senator Logan seemed rather inclin-
ed to complain of the Administration, The
President smiled and answered that he
knew Logan well. He is critical by ma
ture, he said, and always speaks his opin-
ion. "During the war; said General
Grant, 'while we lay in camp nobody
commented more sharply upon the little
slips and blunders than John Logan but
when the order came to march, no corps
was in more perfect order, none moved
more promptly, and none was more brave
ly led than John Logan's. He will criti-
else the Administration just as often and
as sharply as he chooses; but he will give
no aid or comfort to the enemy"
How Just this Judgment was those who
heard or who have read General Logan's
brief reply to Mr. Sumner, on the day
after the speech of the latter, perceived.
1t was the spontaneous and impassioned
answer of man and a soldier who felt
that his friend and old comrade in the
field had been bitterly wronged. 1t was
spoken with such deep feeling, such ardor
of conviction, that the Senate, which was
listless and dropping under debate upon
the adjournment, suddenly lifted its head
and sat profoundly attentive. The SEN
ators lettering outside hurried into the
Chamber. The galleries were hushed /;
and as the orator, in few ringing
phrases, described the honest man who
had faithfully served his country in the
field and in the Cabinet, there were bursts
of hearty applause, which the presiding
officer, Senator Ferry, of Michigan,
promptly and effectively suppressed, but
which, deep down in his heart, we do not
believe that he was panied to hear.
1t was little speech of genuine elo.
quence, and many who heard it must have
recalled that which the Senator, then a
Democratic Representative, made in the
other House and in which, replying to
the threats of his Southern colleagues
to secede and fight, he declared that if
they should attempt it the Northwest
would hew its way from the lakes to the
Gulf. His prophesy has become history.
And the other day, as General Logan sat
down after his speech, it was plain that
the President had but spoken the truth in
saying that he knew him well, and that
John Logan would give no aid or comfort
to the enemy. Harpel'S Weekly.

There she stood irresolute. Her heart

Suddenly there was a great outcry. The

a splitting headache, and he may gain
some slight conception of the discomforts
of divers helmet However, was soon
once more arrayed in the costume of the
nineteenth century, and detailing to my
curious listeners my experience as an am
ateur diver. One of them, who has been
engaged in the business over twentyyears,
told me that he had expected me TO sig
nal to come up before / had reached the
bottom. "Why, sir" he said, tive have
many q strong young chap come to us
meaning to earn his living at diving.
They go down. and directly they get be-
low the surface the blood gushes out from
their nose and mouth. They don't take
long in signaling to come up, you may
bet your life on that"
on the brain.
He replied that IL was in consequence
of the extreme density of the compressed
air. "The deeper you go the worse 1t is"
he said. 'I've been down as low as 125
feet. But you can't work much at that
depth; they can't force air enough down
to you. It's Just as difficult to force air
down to great depth as 1t is to force
water up TO a great height"
"What is the greatest depth that a
diver has been known to go down :!
asked.
"Well, in the lakes you can't go lower
than $50 feet. But have heard of man
in England who went down 1856 feet.
You see, at that depth you can breathe
outmuch more easily than you can breathe
in. This makes it very difficult to keep
the lungs full of air, and produces a
short, quick, almost gasping for breath.
Any rk would exhaust a man in min
ute or two down there. In twenty feet
of water a man can go down ana work
four hours at a stretch. Four hours is a
days work for diver. There is great
difference between summer and winter.
In summer the air has to be pumped
through ice-cylinders. Divers earn good
wages, the best of them ten dollars day;
but it amt much pay when you take
into consideration the work they do.
1t tells on them in time; it affects
their lungs and hearing. | am, my
self, very deaf at times. And, If a man
has got anything wrong with his heart,
he'll sson kill himself One never seems
to get accustomed to it, If stay off for
a month or so l feel all the pressure in
the head felt the first time | went down.
"The only natural born divers | ever
met are the natives of Honolulu. They
dive without dress-iust catch hold of a
big stone, hold on tight to it, and let it
carry them down, head first. They
think nothing Of going down four or
five fathoms. They will dive and steal
the copper from piles or the bottoms
of tenders The waters very clear out
there, you know. At Midway Island,
half way between China and San
Francisco, 1 could see the diver at work
at least twenty.four feet down. The
natives of Honolulu beat all others. i
once saw one Of their naked divers go
down in thirty fathoms of water and bend
line around the lost anchor of man-of-
war. But that was, of course, quite an
exceptional case"
Notwithstanding even such alluring at
fractions, the conclusion arrived at by
the energetic reporter was that he would
sooner sweep a street crossing, than be
come diver as a regular thing.

help her.

For thirty years we've tugged and saved, denying
half our needs,
While all we have to show for It is tar receipts and

And after all too much Of wealth seems useless as

Our brightest earthly happiness is buried in the

That life is short and full of care, the end is al

We seldom half begin to live before we're doomed

s1Yy7It is an insolent and absurd assump-
tion to say that the President has purchased
the support of the press of tine country by
the gift of offices, or that any influential
number of editors have surrendered their
independence in return for an Office Com

this matter is, that smaller proportion OF
