The acco unit OF the conversation OF General Grant

and attractive They VIII increase the estimation OF
their author AS military man, and, indeed we mink
will incline the pubic moro avorably 10 him IN other
rcspects Whatever may be thought OF General
Grants career IN Presidency, the world respects
him as a man OF extraordinary capacity and peculiar
power and the world 10 not deceived IN this opinion
HIS modest frank and Straightforward references 10
the events OF bis military lie do him credit,
ana tho unrcscrved praise be gives to inc
ircc from any suspicion Of petty jealousy toward
others. There Is an honesty Of admiss;oe OF

that speaks still better tor the conscientious sense OF
justice in the man. We VINO have lived contemporary

General Grants career IN the Presidency, 10 say
nothing OF other defects OF character that IL
would be ungracous at present TO revive. But pos

WHY THE PEOPLE WILL LISTEN WHEN GRANT
From the Baltimore Gazette. Jul,

From the Baltimore Gazette, July 3d.
There's nothing marvellous about the desire OF the
people read what Grant has to say. He has occu-
pied several important public positions, and whom no
gives hts views Of and the events with which ho
has connected there Is natural desire upon The
part Of people TO follow the historian When profauc
Gensral sherman opens hts mouth TO an interviewer

may DO said Hayes and the Lord Knows that nobody
would the republication OF OF his inter-
views into a desire Tor second term.

abused. 1t Is significant that GRANTS complaint about
the newspapers Is made chiefly connection with the
battle OF shiloh IL is notorious TACT that Grants
generalshp moro criticised IN that case tnah az
any other period during the war; and his extreme
senstivcness on the subject has left widespreao

GEN. CHAMBERLAIN's LECTURE j. L.
Chamberlain delivered his fine lecture entitled
"An Hour Among the Stars" last evening at
the India street church, it being the last enter
tainment of the Peoples course This course
has maintained high order of excellence
throughout and this lecture formed fine con-
cusion thereto. For the limited space of this
article it is impossible to give even an abstract
of his discourse. He wore the thread of
poetry in and out among the nebulae
of stars remote dwelt at no little length
upon the glorious coloring of the heavenly
bodies advancing some of the later revelation
of eminent scientists in regard to colors
beyond the power of the prism whose variety
could only be determined by those long skilled
in analysis aud having most acute powers of
observation; gave some startling figures rela-
tive to distance and velocity and in conclusion;
quoted from Revelation the verses commencing
with "l saw the city New Jerusalem descend
ing from God out of heaven" aud closing
"last an Amethyst"
