In an article in the August number of
the Galaxy, Prof Siddons contrasts the
rush, strain aud hurry of American bust
ness life with the short hours and leisurely
manner of conducting affairs prevalent in
England. London tradesmen scarcely ever
commence their daily duties before 0 A. NJ.
Merchants make their first appearances at
their Offices an hour or so later, and the
clerks and secretaries In government Offices
are not at their posts much before eleven.
Their work is freely interrupted by gossip,
the perusal of newspapers and prolonged
lunch after the English fashion, and Offices
are nearly all closed for the day at 4 p. NJ.
The American, on the contrary, works
long, arduously and continuously, putting
as much strain on his mental and physical
energies as they will bear, and ollen more.
The conclusion arrived at by the Professor
is that Englishmen of the mercantile, pro-
fessional and official classes work too little
aud Americans too much.

ONE OF THE GREATEST CRIMINALS OF

ONE OF THE GREATEST CRIMINALS OF
THE AGE, who had led a charmed life every
where but in Georgia, atoned for his crimes
on the gallows at Rome, Ca, recently,
His name was Haywood Grant, and he was
a colored man. He was born in 1914, in
Ohio, of free parents, but allerward became
a slave Of his own accord. According TO
his own confession, he had murdered sew
eral men. In 1865, while employed upon
western river on the steamer Potomac,
he killed a deck hand with billet of wood;
some months later, he killed another deck
hand on the steamer Bostona, and threw
him overheard. He committed many thefts
about this time, and next murdered an
Irishman in Memphis, Tenn, aud robbed
him of $40. Then he stole mule, and
was sent 10 The penilentiary and escaped.
In 1875, he was tried in Memphis for shoot
ing a; a white man, and killing a police
man. He was sentenced again to the peni-
tentiary for half lifetime, was hired out
with other convicts TO work, and escaped.
On the 25th day of September, 1868, Gen.
Thomas c. Hindman, late Of the confeder-
ate army, was brutally murdered. No clew
to the murderer was ever found, though
large rewards were offered. Grant con-
fessed before his death that he shot Gen.
Hindman in the neck with an Enfield rife.
He also killed William II. Hansborough OF
Richmond, Va, in Tennessee town, but
was never found out. AS much as SIS, 900
in rewards were offered for the arrest of the
criminal who committed some of the crimes
above enumerated. But justice overlook
Grant at last in Georgia, whore he was con-
victed Of arson. He told reporter that he
would tell him his story if he would give
him a big watermelon. He ate ii with a
relish before he died.

THE CosT OF GOING TO THE CENrEN-
NIAL.-If our average Yankee or Western
er chooses TO see the Exposition, in a SON.
sible, economic way, there is every facility
for him 10 do SO; but If be is fired with the
old American ambition to make a display
while travelling, and 10 impress beholders
with his wealth and importance, there are
gorgeous and snowy hotels a-plenty where
he Will be overcharged and given cause TO
grumble TO his hearts content.
Americans are losing much OF the vulgar
love of cost and show, if we may Judge
from the large majority of the plainly dress
ed, eager crowds seen at the Exposition.
Their chief desire appears 10 be 10 live
cheaply and comfortably, in order 10 afford
as much time as possible for their visit.
We have heard Of many families of high
culture and small means who have visited
Philadelphia and enjoyed the Exposition
al an almost nominal cost. They brought
with them certain portion OF cooked food
and took furnished rooms at 81 per day for
each, near Fairmount Park their own
prov .,.ons furnished break fast and lea, and
dinner was found on the grounds. Good
substantial dinners Of beef, mutton, and
vegetables can be had for so cents.
We enter into these details because we
know that great numbers OF people living
at distance are afraid TO venture TO Phil
adelphia, alarmed by the accounts of over
charging. and because we honestly believe
the Exposition TO be an opportunity for ma
tlonal education such as. may never be Of
ferd TO them again. Farmers and others
who travel little should make an effort 10
leave home behind them. They can ac-
quire at small cost an outlook and ideas
which will brighten and widen their whole
lives.-N. Y. Tribune.
