remarks well pondered, especially since,
by them, he has added to n reputation for
gallantry, one of true chivalry and mag
nanimity. He said that he was not an
unprecedented observer of affairs between
the North and South; but that his preju-
dices were in favor Of peace. he
shared this feeling with the soldiers who
served both in the Confederate ard
Union armies. Further than this, he had
prejudice against any man or men who
would wantonly or with purpose, enaah-

out the Republic. Moved by TINS spirit

and a united country General GRANT,
when he said "Let Us have peace, ex-
pressed the popular wish, and the
only really beIIigerent people in
the country to-day, North and South
are those who, while the war lasted, fol-
lowed carefully the paths Of peace
"Do not believe, he urged, that the
light and dirty froth which is blown
northwurd and scattered over the land,
often times for malicious purposes, repre-
sents the true current of public opinion

leaders, the very men whom the late

Sentiments such as these, are worthy
of being indelibly engraved, and trans
mittcI to general posterity. They conf
tain in themselves, not only the spirit o.

and it is only through their adoption and

effects; but the great secret Of all, is that
the people are tired of STRIFE; tired OF
sectional animosity; tired Of giving the
reins of power longer into the hands Of
Il party whose only hope Of popularity Is
in the prejudices it can raise between the
/ North and South. When GRANT said,
six years ago, "Let us have peace the
people then meant the same peace that
he did, for then they were excited but

Household " Help" in Germany.

A writer on " Help" in Germany says
THEY do these things better in France
used to be the old saying; but nowadays
we begin to regard Germany as afording
Americans in household matters prettier
example. The help in Germany are
good generally, because the police take
charge of them. in reality, and success de-
ponds upon good account of them by the
police Every servant girl is provided with
a Dienstbuch tscrvice book, dealt out to
her by the police authorities. and she has to
announce herself at the police office every
time she changes her situation. In this
Dienstbuch are registered her name, age
and native place, and on each page is a
printed formula. which the mistress she is
leaving is Obliged to fill up as to her clean
illness, industry, moral conduct, sobriety,
etc, as well as the reason Of her leaving
her situation, the date on which
she entered and that on which she
left it. In ordinary German house

are children there will be nursemaid. If

Cruelty of keeping Pets.

As REGARDS the cruelty Of keeping pets,
it goes against the grain to Use so harsh a
term of so amiablc weakness, and for
this especial reason: that the young people
who keep pets are generally in after-life
those who are the best friends to animals
Still. there is a great deal Of cruelty in
keeping pets-not so much directly as in
directly. There can be no doubt what
ever of the barbarities frequently en-
ployed in those devices by which pets are
caught and tanned and rendered amusing;
and there can be no doubt that we make
pets Of creatures which were never meant
to be made pets of, 50 far as what they
were or were not meant for can be gath
cred from certain visible signs. OF course
this remark applies chiefly to the feathered
creation. But, on the other hand, there
are some birds, such as parrots
and cOckatoos, which, if longevity and
apparent uproarious spirits go for any
thing, cannot be said to pine away in the
confinement of a cage, varied by occasion
al constitutionals upon balustrade, or an
area railing, or a window-sill, or even
upon the shoulders and necks of their tor
mentors, and which can be- taught, with
out the slightest cruelty, not only to divert
their owners and their owners friends
with choice selection of diabolical
noises, but also to speak like book. :"
Indeed, the allegation of cruelty in the
mere keeping of pets is somewhat difficult
to maintain, and the term certainly would
be most wrongly and idiotically applied in
the case Of those creatures, such as cats
and dogs, which really appear to like the
society of human beings. One would be
inclined to say that, so far as pets, when
they once become pets, are concerned, the
cruelty practiced toward them consists
chiefly in overcoddling, overlooking, and
whatever else arises from thoughtless in
diligence and willful or ignorant disregard
of an animals natural constitution.
Many bad quarter Of an hour, too, must
be passed by the dog, evidently worthy of
a better fate, whose eyes, as he waddles in

behind his mistress, are turned wistfully
but helplessly toward the spot where half
a dozen of his poorer relations are having
a low but exhilarating romp in the public
streets. He sends after them one feeble
bark of mingled protest at their rude be-
havior and regret that he can't join in it;
and, with dropping tail, trudges along in
the path of responsibility, much as But
tons, nearly broken into service, may be
seen carrying parcel dolefully behind
the young ladies, and all the while casting
furtive glances of despair and envy at the
ragamuffins playing leap-frog in theroad.

is born to misery, but dogs, for all that
appears, are not.-ErehdHge.

the platform is stained dull red. While
we are watching the work the cutter
blocks have sunk out of sight in the stone.
The foreman oils the bearings, and the
men 90 about their work in the yard. The
saw Is automatic and self-feeding, and
will do its work at the rate of three feet or
more an hour through the largest piece OF
stone that may be put under it At each
return stroke the saw frame Is lifted by
suitable eccentric gearing from the main
shaft that furnishes the power. The cut
ting stroke is downward and forward, and
the return allows the diamonds TO just
clear the stone. By thus making only
one working stroke there is no shaking or
tearing out of the diamonds, and they are
kept securely wedged into the brazing that
holds them. This is the diamond saw as
now used. 1t is recent and most I'M
portant invention and may well rank with
the diamond drill. Any square cut in any
building-stone may be made with it, and
at a great economy of time, labor and ma
terial.-.ScribHer' Monthly.

The Diamond Stone Saw.

To SAW stone has been the dream of
many inventors. Here is the finished re-
suit of years of experiments. The ma
chine stands in a wooden shed, having
wide doors opening upon the stone-yard
In general way it resembles the gang
saws used for slicing marble, such as NAV
be seen at any manufacturing shop An
upright, heavily timbered frame work.
| perhaps sixteen feet high, broad plat
form for holding the stone, and some pc
culiar and powerful machinery. Just
now the saw is at rest, and number of
men are rolling in a huge block of brown
stone. 1t is finally secured in place,
blocked up with wedges below, and
steadied by sticks of timber from above.
The foreman throws the belts into play,
and the machine starts up. Hung hori-
zontally in the center is a massive saw.
looking exactly like some gigantic hand
saw the giants might have used on the big
trees of California when they wanted back
logs and fore-sticks. To support this
great saw, and to give it a correct and
steady motion, slide-rests at each end are
hung on long screws at each end of the ma
chine. The power that is now applied is
turning these upright screws, and the
saw-frame rests, and all slowly descends.
The broad saw sinks till it nearly touch
es the stone, and then the foreman stops
it. The saw itself is worth examination.
1t is perhaps twelve feet long and ten
inches wide, and along its lower edge are
square notches. In each of these is
steel cutter-block securely fastened with
soft metal rivet. The cutter blocks show
bright yellow at the bottom, and there are
small black specks, or nodules, scattered
along the edge. These are the black Bra
zil diamonds, or carbons, and all the work
of cutting the stone is done by them. The
foreman calls to the engineer for more
power, and the heavy beam secured to the
saw starts forward and backward quickly.
The saw slides through the air Just clear
of the stone. A boy places number of
small rubber pipes on top of the stone, and
it becomes covered with streams of clear
water. There is sharp, grating
sound as the saw, slowly descending,
strikes the top of the stone The
noise increases in power as the diamonds
engage more and more of the stone.
The edge of the saw quickly sinks out of
sight. The torrent Of water flowing from

Buying Cheap.

WE Americans are charged with being
overload of our dollars. If we are it
seems curious anomaly that we are so
ready to part with them The truth is
that the Americans have love for money
which is not that of the miser, but of the
prodigal. They show great eagerness to
get it, but are more Jealous in its expendi-
ture than in its accumulation
Our countrymen are said to be, more
over, sharp at bargain. This may be
true in the sense that their acuteness, so
characteristic of an intelligent people, as
they undoubtedly are, is not easily blinded
to the difference between hawk and a
hernshaw. They are quick enough,
doubtless, to distinguish degrees of value,
and proportion price accordingly. They
ordinarily manage to get their moneys
worth as far as this may be indicated by
the current charges Of the market The
manner of trade has conformed itself to
the intelligence of our people in this re-
spect, and nowhere in the world are price
and value more nicely adjusted. There is
no occasion in this country for that invita-
ton to unsophisticated purchasers so COM
monty displayed on the shop fronts of
European tradesmen, Pr fre-one price
which, by the bye, serves only to tighten
the grasp, by the knowing ones, of their
money.
The practice, so universal in Europe, of
close bargaining, or beating down." as
it is termed, hardly obtains here. There
the most insignificant article cannot be had
at fair market price without hard
struggle, heightened in proportion to the
avidity of the seller and patience of the
buyer. A huckster, eager as she may be
to sell, will not part with a leaf of cabbage
until after negotiation as serious as, and
hardly less protractcd than, the treaty for
the settlement of the French indemnity
1t is almost the universal practice in
France and Germany for trades people and
others to demand price greatly beyond
what they are willing to take rather than
lose customer. With the necessary pa.
tience and tenacity of purpose any pur-
chaser is pretty sure of being able to OBJ
tain the article he wants for so per cent.
less than is first demanded. In the Con-
tinental resorts of fashion the proprietors
of houses, almost without exception, ask
~ percent. more for the rent than they
are willing, if pressed, to take The
natives, OF course, never pay, if demanded,
the first price; but Americans, accus.
toned to the direct dealing of their
own countrymen, and being habitually |
free-banded, are generally ready to give
the highest sum the most extortionate |
landlord may have the impudence to ask. !

The Boy-Sculptor.

Four hundred years ago, in the gardens
of Medici Palace, might be seen party
of the young friends of Piero de Medici
who had been dismissed from the learned
talk of the savants and artists who sur
rounded the hospitable table of Lorenzo
the Magnificent" as he is often called
There had been an unusual fall of snow
for the warm climate of Italy, and it lay
before them ON the ground in that soft,
tempting whiteness that school-boys like
SO well. 1t covered the statues and fount-
aims, and made grotesque figures of the
shrubs, which were cut in curious forms.

gallery" proposed one, youth of four

"Of what? ?" said another.
OF the snow" replied the first speak
er, named Michael Angelo; and with
merry shouts they plunged into the snow,
without thought of their costumes of
velvet and lace, carrying it and piling it in
masses at different places along the gal
lery, and shaping it into some rude resem-
blance of the human form, which did not
much differ, ] dare say, from the "old
snowman" of the boys of the nineteenth
century.
But Michael Angelo saw in the distance
the statue of fawn, headless and much
injured, which had been brought from
some old ruin.
All! will make a head to this faun,"
and he began shaping and molding the
damp snow.
As he worked his companions gathered
around him and looked on, forgetting
