talked good deal with Richardson,
Sir Walter SCOTS old friend, telling him
how fine | thought SCOTS colloquial
powers. He answered, Eyes, but they
were never so fine as when he was having
a jolly good time with two or three
friends" He then described to me what
he considered the finest specimen he had
ever had of them. 1t was when nobody
was present but Tom Campbell. They
dined together at Toms in Sydenhum,
near London. They dined early, but by
10 o'clock, brilliant as the conversation
was, Tom was past enjoying it, and moth
ing remained for them but to carry him
upstairs and put him to bed. Scott, how
and the two repaired to the village tavern,
and ordered beefsteak and hot brandy and
water; Scott poured out floods of aneo-
dotes and poetry, and talked on till three,
when with undiminiBhed resources, and us
bright as ever, he reluctantly went to bed.
Next morning they were up in good season.
Tom came over to them, little worse for
wear, but not much. Scott talked on more
brilliantly, if possible, than ever. At II
o'clock they had mutton chops and beer
for breakfast, and all three went of to
London, Scott amusing them all the way,
according to Richardson's account, as men
were never amused before or since. The
whole story is, no doubt, characteristic of
the period as well as of the men.- Ivck-

T'REE GRANT FAMILY.
The Ex-President's Aunt Gives its
True History.

The Vanceburg (Ky.) Courier in a recent
issue, has quite an extended editorial in re-
gard to the Grant family, claiming that at
one time jesse r. Grant, the father of Gen.
Grant, lived IN Lewis County, and owned
and operated the tannery at Esculapia
Springs, twelve miles back of Vanceburg
The article referred to speaks of General
Grants frequent visits to his father, and
describes how he used to look when pass
ing through Vanceburg to and from the
home of his parents. A sister-in-law of
Jesse r. Grant Mrs Ross is now living in
this city, and from her we learn that the
Courier is in error. Jesse r. Grant, father
of Gen. U. S. Grant, was born in January,
1894, and lived, while young and single
man, for number of years in Northern
Ohio. He changed his residence to Point
Pleasant Clermont County, Ohio, in 1919,
and was married to Hannah Simpson, near
Bethel, Ohio, June 24th, 1921. The young
couple began their housekeeping at Point
Pleasant, where Gen. U. s. Grant was born
April 18th, 1922. The family moved from
there to Georgetown, Ohio while General
Grant was about two years DID, living there
about II years, when they moved to Bethel,
where they lived until the family moved to
Covington, KY, in 1854. At this place the
family continued to live until the death of
j. ~. NIdll III lOio. ~ Will De SccH ny JulS
that j. r. Grant and family lived in but
four different places during the whole of
their married life, viz; Georgetown, Point
Pleasant, Bethel and Coyington, and never
lived out of Ohio until they moved to Gov
ington.
1t is mistake, therefore, that he and his
family lived at the Esculapia Springs tan
merry, back Of Vanceburg. This mistake
may have occurred by reason of one or two
of his brothers having lived in Maysville,
and perhaps at some other places in Ken
lucky, or from the fact that S. s. Grant his
second son, and Louisa Griffith were in the
number of years, while ]. r. Grant and
family were living at Bethel. This state
ment of facts is from the family, who ought
to know Portsmouth (O.) Tribune.

TOBACCO SMOKING.

The effects of tobacco smoking. as de.
scribed by the Scientific american, are
discoloring of the teeth by carbon, ex-
citement of the salivary glands by the
ammonia, headache and lassitude from
the carbonic acid, disease of the heart
from the carbonic oxide, nausea from
the bitter extract, and tainting of the
breath by the volatile empyreumatic
substance. The system may become
used to these things, yet is made liable
to consumption, nervous exhaustion
paralysis and ailments. To sum up the
evils, effects on individuals likewise
affect communities, these in turn innu-
ence the nation. Noperson that smokes

THE COAST OFF SHETLAND.


The coast itself Is so broken and diver.
sifed that all idea of monotony is done
away with. You never can see q great
deal at once, never take in all at glance.
Your are continually tnrning bold points of
rocks which open up grand and unexpected
surfaces, or launch you in bays or woes
that creep up into the land in most unex-
pected forms. If the water be only lit
tie rough, it whirls aud FLASHES round the
base of the rocks, falling back upon itself
in foam that washes the little skerries in
rich seething cream. But there are days
when the sea is angry and turbulent; when
he must be skilled boatman to venture
out upon the gray water who wishes to
get back safe and sound; when it demands
a knowledge of the coast to keep clear Of
the hidden rocks toward which you may
be driving. One little touch at this present
rate of sailing would smash up the boat
like finder, and send you surging into the
water, and speedily land you beyond the
mysterious boundry that separates the liv-
ing from the dead. Not only the hidden
rocks, at such times but those rising bold
ly out of the water, must be looked to; for
you are drifting along and an undercur-
rent or whirling eddy may render you
powerless to escape the mischief almost
before you are aware of it's existence.
The rocks about Lerwick are indeed mag
nificent. Rising to an immense height,
jagged and broken, weatherbeaten and
honey-combed with the lapse of ages.
Many almost perpendicular; so that wien
upward, you hold your breath with awe at
their power and grandeur; the overwhelm-
ing size and extent of their surface. All
around and about you birds are flying and
screaming about with wild clang mani
Testing every symptom of alarm and anger
at your approach. Or perhaps they have
settled down to watch. There is no sound
or motion among them; nothing but a
slight twisting backward and forward Of
their little necks, and twinkling of small
bright eyes. On your part you are mo-
tionless, and they perhaps fancy them
selves unobserved. Once within shot, up
goes the gun. Immediately the air is
filled with a multitude of birds, and the
noise is SO deafening that you scarcely hear
yourself speak. Perhaps the shot has
knocked down half dozen young cor
morants, and the boatman uses every effort
to secure the prize, and bumps you up
against the rocks, almost jeopardizjrg your
life in his endeayors. When two or three
have been dragged into the boats, and
their ferocious- looking bills have opened
and closed in last gasp, there is another
tint in the water to add to those of the
rainbow; it is red and warm. All sports,
fair reader, haye their cruel side; the law
is universal, where it concerns the she'd
ding of blood; life waging war upon life.
The boatman smacks his lips with fore
taste of the grand meal the wife will
make him on the marrow out OF these cor
morants.

Parted.


Parted, after years of Joy together,
After years Of summer weather,
By one thoughtless angry word;
And that word by you was spoken,
1t was thus loves chain was broken,
Still my pleadlngs were unheard.
Parted, and that bright elysian
All has passed before our vision
Never to return again;
Now alone in grief and wonder,
On the past sadly ponder,
While my heart is filed with pain.
Parted, but l can't forget yQu;
Since the day when first met you
l lave loved you until now;
have asked you to forgive me,
have asked you to believe me,
Keeping sacred every VOW.
All in vain, twas unavailing,
All my prayers were useless, failing
To recall the words you said;
Through this life we roam as rangers,
For one word we meet as strangers,
To be forgotten when I'm dead.

ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS has ar
rived at home. AT Augusta, Ga, he
was received with great enthusiasm,
and thirteen guns We're fired announc-
ing his arrival. The Augusta Ctroni-
Gle and Sentinel is, however, very
much incensed at the position of Mr..
Stephens, i'm the independent stand
he made in refusing to obey the party
caucus dictation on the Potter investi-
CATION resolution. That paper says:
"Mr. Stephens gives strength and
respectability to the independent
movement. BY adhering to his bold
and defiant position, he will strike a
deadly blow ut the life of the organ
lied democracy in the Eighth district.
If the independent movement sue
ceeds i'm this district it will extend to
every district i'm Georgia. The evil
effects that will follow cannot be eX-
aggerated. In place of solid demo-
cratic representation i'm Congress the
state may be represented in part by
four or five independents. This APP
prehenSion is not grOundless. In
many of the districts thenegroes have
a majority, and the only way in which
this majority can be overcome is by a
strict adherence to democratic usages.
So that paper admits there is a re-
publican majority in some districts,
and calls on the democratic party to
adhere to its old usages to prevent the
success of that majority.
The Chronicle has shame enough
left not to name what those old usages
are, for it knows they are infamous;
that they consist in fraud, intimida-
ton and even murder. What IA dis
grace to the American name! What a
farce of freedom and a government
by the people is such state of things!
