SAVE ME FROM MY FRIENDS.

S'sch Is the Reclamation of Gen. Grant,
The OficiOMsness Of Hts Friends Has
Compelled Him to Eactle Himself for IN
other Year.
Washington Special.
Col. D. 9. Forney, of this city, is friend
of G. Washington Childs, A. NJ, the conf
dant of Gen. Grant. Childs has received q
letter from Grant upon the subject Of the
time when the latter intends to come home.
Col. Forney has been permitted the privilege
OF reading this letter, and gives the follow
ing as correct abstract thereof: From
this letter received from Gen. Grant it is
clearly evident that his change of move
ments has been brought about by the ac-
counts he has received of the oficious in
tentions of some individuals who fastened
themselves upon his administration, and
whom he found difficult to shake off.
These same parties, he has been informed,
intend to obtrude themselves upon the pub.
lie by rendering him reception, and against
this he expresses the greatest aversion. He
has therefore made up his mind rather to
exile himself until after the Republican
nomination is made for President than to
submit to such annoyance. He states that
though he has everywhere been received with
the greatest consid eration, and more SO than
he felt as an ex-oficial he had right to ex-
pect, he was extremely anxious to return
home as soon and as quietly as possible,
but in view of the superserviceable zeal of
some parties whose acquaintance had not
justified the confidence reposed in them, he
has determined to sacrifice his own wishes
and remain abroad. He expects that his
Australian tour, and possibly voyage along
| the west coast of South America, the Isthmus
and Mexico, will consume the period be-
tween the present and the early part of June
next, by which time he expects the excite
ment incident to Presidential nomination
will be over. He, however, is much gratified
at the tone of the leading Republican and
independent journals Of the country in con-
demning as they have the Vaccinations of
these people, as he thinks political move
ment inspired and operated by such influ-
ences could only bring the party into dis
credit, and throw it on the defensive. He
thinks it is important for the party to purge
itself of such material rather than to en-
courage it. The general has not forgotten
the kind offices of his real friends, and the
step which he has now taken has been as
much out of Difference to them as matter
of personal relief to himself. He feels that
by this course he can make this d scrimina
ton between those who have been worthy of
bis confidence and those who have betrayed
him for their own selfish purposes,

The Coming Manta.

The Coming Mant0.
There are great many indications that
the coming mania for speculation will take
the direction of gold and silver mining
stocks. The New York Times notes some Of
the premonitory symptoms of the fever !:
''Ihe price of seats in the mining stock
board here has risen from 1915 to some hun
dreds brokers who never touched this class
of paper are now operating extensively in it.;
new mining companies are coming out with
displayed advertisements in the papers !;
names of men we'll known in politics are
paraded at the head of company prospectuses:
every little exchange shop down town has its
freshly written placard announcing that all
kinds of mining stocks are bought and sold
there inventors are to be found by the
dozen who have ga process by which the
metal may be got out in the shortest posi-
BILE time and at q nominal cost and more
significant than this, NUM-
Der of well known stock operators have
gone or are about to start for the
West, for the purpose of buying up mining
properties. Old hands at the mining bust
ness look for rage of speculation by next
fan, and are preparing to make their big
strikes. At present, the symptoms of dis
turbance are confined almost exclusively to
the specializing classes, but if the feeling
grows to mania, as the shrewd observers
anticipate, it will influence for good or evil,
and principally the latter, hundreds, and
perhaps thousands, of innocent people who
have small Accommodations which they desire
to place out to advantage" It will b, next
to impossible to stay the ravage Of this fever
il it becomes deep seated. It will run its
course and to the great majority of sufferers
twill be disastrous. The history Of mining
crazes in this country is given in full by the
journal quoted, but as it isn't human nature
to gather wisdom from the past. the example
Of squandered capital and dissipated savings

The Han From the Rear Car.

Acouple were occupying seats in the ladies'
car, having got on at way station. Proba-
bly, attracted by the invisible fascination
which never fails to bring contretemps, q
gentleman from rear car came in ard took
seat Immediately behind the pair. There
was shock of surprise as his eyes fell upon
them, and deathly pallcr overspread his
countenance. But this was for an instant
only. Then flush succeeded, and q queer
smile began to play around the corners of
his set determined lips. An hour passed.
The billing and cooling went on, and the man
was patient and evidently an interested
listener. The people in the Car began to
perceive that something unusual was going
on. Finally the man leaned forward with
that peculiar smile still lowering about his
lips, and said

The lady rose with stifled scream, and,
wheeling around, confronted the stranger
with pallid face and great staring
eyes. Her companion was not less discon-
certed. He, too, had risen to his feet, and
stood uneasily looking at the intruder, flush
ing and paling by turns.

woman.
The stranger was cool and imperturbable.
"You did not expect to see me, did your"
"Heaven knows did not!'' exclaimed the
lady, from whose eyes the tears had already
begun to trickle.
"Well, it's not unusual. People often meet
under peculiar circumstances. I suppose

and sank back into her seat. She had already
begun to sob Historically.
