GENERAL GRANT PERSONALLY.

But your correspondent begs to re-
fer to the President merely asa typi-
cal head of his party, and not the in
dividual representative of any fraud,
or job, or corruption. He has always
entertained the belief of the Presi-
dents personal integrity, and states
furthermore that an investigation into
his pecuniary affairs corroborates that
belief. He does this specifically to
Justify his opinion, to do Justice to a
political adversary, and also to correct
an an erroneous impression. The
President has been and is disposed of
this property, viz: 500. 900 donated
to HIM by the merchants of New
York; a house in Philadelphia, $4O,-
600, rented now at 81, 400 per year !;
$40 acres of land near St. Louis, pur-
chased, with all improvements, at less
than 5000 one fourth of 120 acres
of land situated near Chicago, IS, 900; /;
s5, 900 stock in Michigan iron COM
pany; his Long Branch residence,
$780, and small amount in Adams
Express and railroad shares. The
bulk of this property was obtained
through the gift made to him by the
New York merchants before he was
elected President, the real estate pre-
sented to him in Philadelphia and in
Washington, and his purchase OF the
ST. Louis estate from his brother-in-
law. 1t is not improper to state more
specifically that the Presidents IN

AN OPTICAL DELUSION.

Count Orloff, the newly appointed
Russian Minister in Paris, wears
spectacles. A few days ago, so says
the Paris Journal, he called on the
President of the Republic, and in the
haste OF his departure forgot the
aforesaid article, which he had laid
down in the course of his conversa-
ton with him. NJ. Theirs ordered
them to be Immediately sent to him.
The spectacles are therefore inclosed
in an official envelope, sealed with
the seal Of the Republic, and a
mounted gensdarme in a gallop con-
veys it to its mission, thinking moth.
ing less but that he is carrying q
state dispatch. Great was the sur
prise of several members of the
Russian legation as, in the absence
of the Court, the envelope WAS open
ed. An attache gave the opinion
"that it must mean something extra
ordinary" As this same opinion
was also entertained by others, it was
decided to telegraph the following to
st. Petersburg Immediately: Mys-
terious spectscles received of Presi-
dent Theirs. Minister abseLt. What
shall we do2' The answer received
stated. "Send spectacles here"
Fortunately at this time Count Orloff
returned to the hotel, and the mystic
rious spectacles which were on the
eve of departure for St. Petersburg,
took the shortest route to his nose.

A CONTINENT COVERED WITH ICE.

Prof. Agassiz comes to the conclu-
sion that the continent of North Amer
lea was once covered with Ice for a
mile in thickness, thereby agreeing
with Prof. Hitchcock, and other emf
nent geological writers concerning the
glacial period. In proof of this con-
clusion, he says that the slopes of the
Allegheny range of mountains are
glacier-w worn to the very top, except a
few points which are above the level
of the icy mass Mount Washington,
for instance, is over six thousand feet
high, and the rough, unpolished sur
face of its summit, covered with loose
fragments, just below the level of
which glacier marks come to an end,
tells that it lifted its head alone above
the desolate waste of ice and snow.
Iu this region, then, the thickness
of the ice cannot have been much less
than six thousand feet, and this is in
keeping with the same kind of evil
dence in other parts of the country ;
for when the mountains are much
below six thousand feet, the ice seems
to have passed directly over them,
while the few peaks rising to that
height are untouched. The glacier,
he argues, was Gods great plough,
and when the ice vanished from the
face of the land, it left it prepared for
the hand of the husbandman.
The surface of the rocks were
ground to powder, the elements oi
the soil were mingled in fair proper
tions, granite was carried into lime
regions, lime was mingled with the
more arid and unproduetive granite
districts, and soil was prepared fit for
the agricultural uses OF man. There
are evidences all over the popular re-
gion to show that at one period the
heat OF the tropics extended all over
the globe. The ice period is s1ppos-
ed to be long subsequent to this, and
next to the last before the advent o.

HOW A GREAT FIRM BEGAN.

An interesting foreign book is the
Memoir of Robert Chambers the
noted Scottish publisher and editor.
1t is partly autobiographical, and
partly the narrative of his brother
William, who tells the story of their
boyish fights with fortune in a simple
and sincere way which more famous
biographers woulddo well to study. OF
his painful and bitter youth, Robert
Chambers himself could not bear to
speak; he shared with Dickens that
nervous disinclination to recall q
wretchedness which made him old
before his time. William, less sensi-
tive if not more generous, describes
with no hesitation the bare lodging
in which, shaking with cold, and not
too well nourished by their oatmeal,
the two boys read and studied in all
love and gravity; how Robert began
his self-supporting life as bookseller
at sixteen, with a few old volumes,
wofully dilapidated and put aside as
useless by his people at home how
William established himself in busi.
ness with a capital Of five shillings
and how gradually grew up the great
firm which is known of all men.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS,

The United States is the country,
por-ercsllenee, for newspapers and
their number is legion, almost every
village having its local press. In the
west they start q newspaper when
thew build the first church and first
school-house. and plant their first
cornfield. This national trait was
fully illustrated as far back as the
Mexican war, when newspapers we're
established wherever our army pen
etrated, for there were plenty Of men
in the ranks who could handle the
rifle and the composing. stick with
equal dexterity. "Does there hap

HOW SAFES ARE BLOWN OPEN

The Trenton True american gives
the following concerning the late rob-
berry of the Trenton Bank vault:
Mr.. Lewis Lille, now of Newark,
is the manufacturer of the heavy iron
work which guarded the entrance to
the vault, and also the bank safe, and
Mr.. Stryker, President Of the bank,
telegraphed to him to come on snd
examine the place and give an opin.
ion how the mischief was wrought.
We were introduced to Mr.. Lille and
shown through the vault, and had the
construction of the outer and inner
door, and the bank also explained.
The outer door OF the vault weighs
one thousand pounds, and must have
taken at least five men to have laid
it down by the side of the vault
where it was found. The burglars
first proceeded to screw on the floor
what is known as step, or iron to
hold brace, which is an upright bar
of wood. The brace was left by the
side of the door, and was viewed
yesterday by many. The burglars
had marked the door, near the lock,
intending to break it. The lock is a
combination one of more than ordi-
nary power, but finding that wedg-
ing would answer their purpose
better, they wedged powerfully from
the back of the door, and succeeded
in breaking the hinges and carrying
away the dogs which held the door
to the jams on the inside. 1t must,
Mr.. Lille thinks, have taken two
hours to break away that door, which
is two inches in thickness, and so
heavy that it is seen at once there
must have been perfect gang in the
robbery. The inside doors of the
vault are simply fire proof doors,
fastened by an ordinary lock, which
they wrenched off without much
trouble.
Mr.. Lille examined the powder that
was left behind, and which was in
tended to be used, and he describes
it as of the very finest quality of glaz-
ed powder, 80 fine that the thickness
of good thick piece of writing pa
per, whice would rest anywhere on
the jams of the safe, and permit the
door to be shut and locked, would
afford ample space for the injection
of a sufficient quantity of powder of
the quality the burglars left to blow
open the safe.
This may not be known to bankers
generally, but if they will apply this
test to their vault doors and to their
safes, they will be able to satisfy them
selves whether their securities are
available to burglars. 1t is, we are
informed, a mechanical impossibility,
the way safes and vault doors are
generally made, to fit them SO as to pre-
vent the Injection of powder, without,
as great many are doing, applying
India rubber packing, which will pre-
vent it unless there is application OF
force. ...

VACCINATION.

Vaccination-now generally practi-
ced as a protection against a terrible
disease-was discovered almost by
accident. Previous to the year I796,
inoculation was the only known
method of diminishing the danger
attendant on smallpox; for it was
believed that all must have the disease
in some way. Mr.. Edward Jenner,
inoculating his patients for small -pox,
found that many did not take it. In
qulrIes among the country people
developed common belief among
them that those whose business il
was to milk COWS were seldom sfflict.

vestig alton proved that inoculation
did not take effect in those who had
accidentally taken "cow-pox." Jen,

smallpox, was ridiculed as an absur
dity for sixteen years. He persever-
ed, however, and in 1896 vaccinated
boy eight years. old with matter
taken from milkmaid's hand. The
child recovered satisfactorily, but
was Immediately inoculated for small
pox, but without lie slightest effect.
Jenner's discovery then became
widely known and practiced.
Although medical opinions vary
somewhat in regard to this subject,
it is pretty generally agreed that il
the protection afforded by vaccination
is not perfect, is superior TO any other
known; that although the operation
once performed often fails to give
security, yet it generally modIfies the
disease, rendering it comparatively
mild and safe; and many physicians
are of opinion that if the virus is thor
oughly inserted until it ceases to af-
feet the system, the person is protect

would be by an attack of smallpox
