A FEW days ago a correspondent ran
across Grant in his travels through Scot
land, and in the course OF the conyersa-
ton which took place between them
Grant expressed himself rafferty, freely
about several prominent American states
men. Although Sumner and Motley are
both dead the ex-president did not hesi-
tate to denOunce the former as ialsifler,
and the latter as traitor to his friends.
Secretary Schurz he shgmatized as a
humbug, and his ciyiI-service reform
theories as illegal and nonsenslcal." It
is only occasionally that Grant can be in.
duced to unbosom himself, but when lac
does he generally speaks his mind.

The prospect Of the fail ard winter

that indicate large export demand for
this staple. The crop OF Great Britain is
a general allure, caused by bad weather
and too much cold. Concerning the har-
vest throughout the wheat producing
countries. an English authority says;
There can be little reason to doubt
that the United states are gathering
in the largest crop OF the
best quality that has ever been
produced in those vast regions.
Their own estimate is that they have Il
surplus Yearly enough 10 supply all our
needs, and the Americans give good earu-

kets with the quantity and low price OF
their produce. But America has been
frequently deceived herself in this matter,
and there may be eXaggeration in the esti'
mate this year. Egypt has an abundant
crop and Is rapidly turning 1t into money.
Austria and Hungary have considera.

have a more abundant crop than
She has reapcd for years; but, as her
ports on the south are closed, only 50

The British postal savings bank sys-
TEN is attended by very satisfactory re-
suits. From the latest report it appears
that 5,1lS of the l3,l47 post-ollices in the
country are repositories, and the deposits
in them ut the end OF the last year were
$4,000, 5000, belonging to l,7O2,OOO de
posters. The number of depositors was
smaller than for the previous year, but
the amount OF deposits was larger. The
rate OF Interest paid by the government
is D per cent. This is small, but the
money is safe, and this is something OF
no little importance 10 the class of per-
sons who place their surplus earnings in
the postal banks.

The reason assigned By ex-MiDister
Washburne for having dissuaded Gen.
Grant from visiting Paris, is that the
feeling among the people there against
the government is very bitter, and it
was feared that any demonstration such
as Grant visit would have giyenrlse to,
might be made the excuse for such an
outbreak as is feared to be inevitable
sooner or later. lie describes the gen
