ragged, as if the first coupon for passage to

that large numbers of them had been sold
before the forgery had been detected, and it
is thought they have been placed on the

nervously at the iron railing in front of the
Justices desk yesterday in the Tombs
when called to answer to the charge Of
intoxication. He astonished the Court by
reciting passages from Shakespeare and Vir.
gil, winding up his discourse with an ex.
tract from HOmers Iliad. The prisoner
classic recitations failed to have any effect,
however He asserted he was grandson
of Patrick Henry. He had been a Confed
crate soldier and participated in all the
chief battles of the rebellion. Justice Xii
breth listened to him with attention, and

What COrbin Says of Grant.
Ex-President Grants brother-in-law, Mr.
Corbin. in an interview published to-day
|
nection with the tanning business is erro
neous, and he does not know how it origi
mated. He does know, however, that Gen.
eral Grant never was tanner, and was
never in any manner engaged in that trade.
Mr.. Corbin does not believe that the Ex.
President is at all desirous of returning to
his old duties at Washington, and does not
consider the Republican party is dependent
on any individual. If circumstances should
so shape as to convince the party that Gran,
would be the strongest candidate, and lc
make the Republican National Convention
desirous of nominating him, he does no
doubt that the General would regard it as
duty to accept.
