Grant and Lee.

Col Charles c. Chesney's Essays in
Military Biography" is creating consider
able interest and comment in literary cir
cles on both sides of the Atlantic. From
4pp1eton's Journal we clip the following re-
ference to the authors illusions to Grant
and Lee:
The first essay in the volume is an elabor-
ate one on "The Military Life of Gen.
Grant !" and it is truly refreshing to forget
for time the President and politician Of
later days, and turn to the really glorious
portions of great and impressive career
The essay covers Gen. Grants entire mill
tary record, Analysing in detail the great
campaigns in he West and that final one in
Virginia, which preceded the downfall of
the COnfederacy and is, beyond qnes-
ton, the ablest and fairest estimate
of hose campaigns that has yet been
made.
1t was written evidently when Grant had
Just laid aside his sword to enter upon. his
Presidential functions and it expresses, III
cordial terms, the hopes which We're enter
tanned then, by thoughtful men throughout
the wOrld-hopes that were destined to the
keenest disappointment, and for the mscar-
riage of which Colonel Chesney expresses a
sorrOwful regret in the essay on General
Lee which follows. This essay is less mill
tary study than personal memoir, and,
while sketching the outline of his famous
dwells more particularly on the
grandeur and nobility and moral beauty of
his personal character. As military chief
tain Colonel Chesney, Of course, assigns Lee
a rank above all others who attained fame
in the war; and he predicts that, notwith-
the "wODdrOus future" that lies be-
fore America, Gin her annals of years to
come, as in those of the past, there will be
found few names that can rival in nnsullied
lustre that of the heroic defender of his ma
tive Virginia, Robert Edward Lee"

Wastefulness Of Cremation.
BY MAX ADELER.

l hardly think, upon the whole, that l am
in favor of cremation. The process seems to
me to be SO frightfully wasteful. At the
same time, l am ready to admit that the
dead might be used much more profitably
than they are now. If a man must be buried
let him be planted where he will make some
thing grow. l remember that Casselbeny
Of Vineland, New Jersey, once laid his
grandmother under his grape vine,
and by carefully watering her twice
day he secured a crop OF fifteen
bushels of Black Hamburgs. The
subject came up in the agricultural society
subsequently, and there was question
whether grandmother was the only female
relative that could be efficaciously used, and
whether it should be paternal or ma
ternal grandmother. Casselbeny explained
that he had known maiden aunt or
second cousin to doequally well, and he had
his stepfather among the roots of his man.
moth gooseberry bush with every prospect
of superb crop. Very particular inquiries
were made by several members concerning
the availability of mothers-in-law, and a
man named johnson said he had been mar
red four times and had used all of his
mothers-n-law in improving the asparagus
bed he took the first prize tor asparagus at
eight county fairs. Then the meeting sud
deuly adjourned, and fifteen mothers-in-law
in Vineland died during the succeeding
week.

A Church.GOing Hen

Poets have told of birds which sang
praises, but it has remained for Toledo to
produce a church-going hen. One of the
prominent churches in that city has its par
sonage located next to the church edifice,
and for the convenience of the pastor side
door opens from the sanctuary into the par
sonage yard. AS an innocent occupation
for his leisure hours the minister had reared
a fine flock of chickens, and under his care
and attention the aforesaid fowls had be-
come qnite intimate with the worthy do
mimic Last Sunday the good man was a
trihe late. and in his hurry to reach the pull
pit, neglected to close the door leading into
the church. A matrOnly hen observed her
master, and having nothing important to
do, concluded to follow him. With solemn
steps and slow, she entered the study, and
through the half open door viewed the wor-
shippers within.
Just then the notcs of the organ pealed
forth, and the soft-vOiced soprano warbled,
Come, holy spirit, heavenly dove" The
melody reused the listening fowl, and
spreading her wings she scared aloft above
the heads of the congregation. She had
reached point Immediately over bevy of
ladies who had on that day donned their
spring bonnets for the first time, when her
inspiration and the music ceased and, like
lcaruS. she 1tll. lulfneulauely tacn woman
began an original litany but 1t awaited
them naught. Down came dame partlet,
and settled upon one of the "sweetest hats"
in the congregation. Finding it difficult to
stand upon so slight perch, she began to
scratch and Chamber, and in this her early
education served her WELL The elders, sup
ported by storming party Of deacons,
rushed to the aid of the unfortunate lady,
and succeeded in removing the discOrdant
fowl, but not until the lovely" spring hat
had been knocked into centennial style.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES. - Deacon
w. was ''boss carpenter" and a Baptist
in good and regular standin'" in Rome,
Oneida county, more than forty years ago.
One day, while he was working with his
men on the third staging of new Baptist
church which he had contracted to build,
he heard one of the hands utter an oath,
and he at once began a sermon on the sin of
swearing. Just as he had arrived at the
most impressive part of the discourse the
platform on which they were standing gave
way. The deacon threw up his arms, and
gazing heavenward, exclaimed, "Lord
have mercy" The staging settled straight
downward, struck the second platform, and
that too, trembled moment and then gave
way. Again TIE deacon looked skyward
and devoutly repeated, "Lord have mercy"
Then, as the combined weight of the plat
forms, including the deacon and his four
men, reached the last staging, and that tot
tered an instant and went down, the dea-
con, thinking his doom was at hand, fairly
shouted Lord have mercyw But when
the entire mass struck the solid ground
with final crash and nobody was hurt, the
deacon glanced at the wreck and angrily
jerked out, Oh the stagin'"

CONCERNING MATRIMONY,

her advice. Her catalogue is formidable
whether it is Just We leave to the readers
Judgment from the few specimen extracts:
Don't marry any man over forty: he brs-
ties with habits as English young ladies dc
with angles.
Don't marry the lively man.
Don't marry man who stops Your mouth
with compliments, makes desperate love to
you the first time he sees you, and talks
about kissing. That man thinks women are
fools, but he is mistaken.
Don't marry man who tells wonderful
stories of which he is always the hero, and
in which he always distinguishes himsel.
by extraordinary wit, or sagacity, or cOur
age or presence of mind-these qualities
not being, as rule conspicuous in him.
Don't marry a man who has great many
sisters. Such a man is always spoiled; be-
sides which it is not pleasant to he engaged
to man who knows all about your false
hair, and how much your dress cost a yard.
a man who has whole squadron Of sisters.
Don't marry man who sa, S every woman
ought to know how to cook.
Don't marry a man who wears an eyeglass
or tight boots with high heels, who curls his
bair OF his mustache, who puts scent in his
whiskers or bleaches his eyelids, who Iisps,
who has his finger nails long and pointed,
carefully cut IN an almond shape, who
wears four-buttoned gloves, takes six and
three-qnarters, and tells you So who if he
dark wears a red cravat; ii he be fair a sky
blue One-there is no snrer indication of IA
mans character than his necktie always
look at that frst-w no has enameled visit
ing cards aud brilliant monogram, and
who always wears rosebud in his button
hole.
Don't marry man who keeps bulldogs.
He is sure to be like them.
Don't marry man who gets up early.
Nothing makes a person so insutferably con-
ceited.
Don't marry man whom nobody ever
SAYS any evil Of Be sure that he is Il poor
Don't marry a man who doesn't smoke,
and prides himself upon it.
Don't marry man who has a great adj
miration for DR.. Johnson. He is sure to be

A cattle dealer arrived in Paris the other
day with the intention of having his por-
trait painted in OIL He applied to an artist
near the Madeleine, and, in concluding the
bargain, dwelt strongly on his wish that the
likeness should be striking and unmistak-
able. The painter promised that it should
be so. Indeed" he added, ~ will appeal
to the most disinterested judge possble-to
your own bulldog; we will show him the
picture. and see whether he recognizes
you" Accordingly, when the picture was
finished, it was brought into the dealers
lodging. placed on the floor, and the dog
was called in. He instantly ran up to the
portrait and began to lick it, wagging his
tail, and showing every sign of delighted
affection. The grateful dealer, convinced
of the accuracy Of the likeness, instantly
paid down the sum demanded by the artist,
quite unconscious of the fact that the "coun-
terfeit presentment of his manly features
had been well rubbed with bit of bacon.
