Grant arc INC MONEY Kings,

( The conference OF President Grant
lat the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New
! York, with the leading bankers and
! brokers 81 that city reminds VIZ Of his
famous rouncil OF war after the bat
tic or the Wilderness. The battle
had been fierce one. Although 1t
resulted In his holding the Geld, the
victory had been dearly bought.
The prospect for q forward move
ment looked gloomy. A tremen-
dous pressure was brought to bear up
on Grant t. retire across the Rapi-
dan and await reinforcements. He
called a council OF war, listened TO
the opinion OF his generals; said lit
tie himself gave 10 each sealed
instructions, to be opened at certain
hour on the following morning, and
babe them goodnight. The general
i'm preston was that the instructions
received was for withdrawal Of our
forces, but to the surprise Of nearly
all, they were found, when opened,

Of the campaign which followed is
well known 10 all. Lee was forced
from every position, and, at last,
locked up in the defences OF Rich

hand until he was forced to surrend-

The President listened to the advice
Of the money kings OF Wall street,

weighed the arguments advanced for
sudden imitation Of the cur rency by
the release Of the reserve legal tend
ers in the vaults Of the Treasury,
then made up his mind MOTTO do what
the stock gamblersand anxious brok-
ers wanted him 10 do. The result
shows the wisdom Of his course
The panic has reach its height, spec.
uistion has reacted upon itself, and
the release Of currency by the pur-
chase Of bonds was all that was need
ed TO restore confidence and protect
the mercantile interests from the
sudden pressure. As general,
Grant takes rank with the most re-
nowned soldiers Of history. This lat

The Bridge wiIlCarry.

The gigantic railroad porjects that
have been mainly Instrumental in
bringing about the recent disturbance
not soon recover from the shock. The
shameless acts Of Gould, Fisk, Van
derbilt, Drew and others, the expos
ure Of the Credit Mobilier frauds,
have intimidated capitalists. They
have turned their backs upon these
men, and are looking for other in
vestments. Whether the recent cri-
sis grew out of the farmers move
ment or not, certainly we may ex-
pect that the whole system of railroad
MONOPOLY has received stunning
blow, and bridge ia now built on
which Congress and the State Legis-
has been conceded to stand between
the producing classes and the leading
railroad kings. The bridge will be
easily found next winter, and the
mass OF the people will not be dis
posed to wink at any who may dodge
1t.
sailroading proper, will be sus-
tanned by no class Of men more faith
fully than by the producers Of the
country, hut the public veal, and the
success of every business enterprise,
depends ina great measure upon all
honest and equitable management of
the great carrying business Of the
country.
The universal sentiment Is, that
the interests are mutual, that neither
can pull the other down without
damage to both.-Uomcstead.

Under very unfavorable prospects
for grain elsewhere, Europe has been
looking very anxiously toward the
grain districts Of Southern Russia,
Returns just in from that continental
granary, however, are not consoling.
The official circular issued by the
russian Minister of Agriculture
states thatthe drought has been much
more severe in Southern Russia than
was supposed, and that there is dan
ger that the inhabitants will suffer
for want OF food before next harvest.
So we shall not only have to supply

IS. Iii the spring following Mis-.
Mary Davenpors, now Mr.. Don
rely-then abcut rs years az age, was
tbe heroine of az adventure thar
see1ns To me worth relating,
Having contracted ID teach q school
NOT far from the mouth Of White
rreast creek, end abort nine miles
distant from their place Of residence,
Mary. accompanied by her btothor
Thornas, set out FOR the place on foot.
III was rainy day, and mud and
water were sufficiently deep 10 rem
der an excuse quite plausible for
posiponing the trip till another
fitse: but a. the school was TO begin
on the day following, and the
wages 1910 per month were
such ~ no country sehoolma'am in
those days would think Of losing by
neglect. Wind and rain were not
,i-ened rs our heroine as insur-
nountable objects.
But on rearhing White Breast,
near their place Of destination, they
found an obstacle tha. severely taxed
their courage and ingenuity 10 over
cume. They found that classic stream
swollen far out " its banks and run
ming swift current OF deep, muddy
water. threatening enough In its sp-
,.earance 10 forbid any venture upon
il.
However, 1t IL said that in all
cases where there ia will there is
way. it would not do 10 return and
risk losing the school. SO cross the
stream they would, and did, but al
such risk TINT the mere thought Of
it, 10 this day, produces In Mrs. ID. o
thrill OF horror.
Not being provided with any kind
Of tool, even toh poeketknife, Mr.. Da-
venport gathered up such poles as he
could break into suitable lengths for
raft, and iashed them together
with cross pieces enough to make ii
float well. Then they launched IL
and got aboard. Mary being assured
by her brother, took position In
the center Of the frail structure and
stood perfectly still, having the
most unwavering faith in his ability
10 navigate the stream in safety.
Provided with long pole with
which TO guide the raft, they set out
Oh their perilous voyage, the raft
sinking under their weight till they
stood ovet nnkle-deep in water.
Still they sailed on directly across the
streain till the main channel was
reached when no bottoms could be
reached with the pole, and they were
~ the mercy OF the current. And
here it required the utmost care
10 prevent their deluged bark
from capsizing. A step TO the
right or the left wot'ld have plunged
ih.n into watery grave, dark
and apparently botiomleps.
In this critical situation they float

were enabled to steer shoreWard, and
