i Story by Gen. Grant.

Now, as to telling stories, i have no
particular gift In that way. Sometimes,
conversing about the affairs of tile war,
something that is said calls up an anees
dote or a good story .whets Something
occurred Ola ridiculous, pathetic, anus
ing or illustrative character. I might
tell, If I could happen to think of them,
of some things that occurred that Mr..
Lincoln told me at times when he visited
me in the field, and I will tell you one
thing that occurred just after the str
render of lee 1t APPROXIMATION. 1 have
oftsn heard the same story attributed to
Mr.. Lincoln in different ways, but this
is the way it occurred with me: at
hurried back to Washington with all
haste, to stop the enormous expenditure
the Government was making at that time
and drafting. Willie I was not positive
that there would be further hostilities or
any further efforts made on the part OF
the rebel armies, yet ] thought it was
not unlikely there would be, and that
it was better to take proper precautions,
SO I ordered the army Of the James
back to Burke's station, to remain while
we could 30 over to Washington. and do
as I saS-st5p expenditures that #efe

Billy Smith, as he wa called, who was
Governor of Virginia at that time, sent
a letter through by a flag of truce to
me, which Gen. Meade received, and
without letting them know I was moi
there, telegraphed to me at Washington
The letter was to this effect: That he
was Governor of the Commonwealth Of
Virginia, and ca suehhe had temporarilJj
removed the seat Of Government from
Richmond to Danville, and he was de
sirous of knowing from me whether ht
would be permitted to exercise the func

would be permitted to leave the country
I was in doubt about the best way Il
answer it, when happened to meet MI
Lincoln On the sidewalk, and told hin
about it. He supposed I was asking
him for instructions, and his answer wal
this: Il will tell you,,' he said. Its Like
an Irishman I once heard Of who was il

New Chinese Theatre.

Chinatown, San Francisco, has new theatre. Already it had one, and form- erly it had three. When there were three an active business rivalry was long maintained, but at last it became so expensive to all engaged in it that, for mutual benefit; meeting was held, and consolidation into one theatre result
 ed. Much dissatisfaction was felt anon
 the men who were thrown out of employ
 ment by the reduction in expenses which naturally followed, and they pro- ceeded to interest some of the wealthy Chinese merchants in scheme for building new theatre. A joint stock company was formed and the structure now ready for use is the result. Its cost is about $15,000, and will seat 2,500 people. The ground floor of the building will be let as stores, and the garret used as lodging-house by the actors and at taches. One ri Gar Sing, who is an nounced as the most famous Chinese ac- tor that ever came to San Francisco, has been engaged in the double capacity ol star and superintendent of the new the, atre, in which he is personally interest ed, at salary said to be very liberal

A Keen Satire on the Walking Mania.

Readers of the New York Times are indebted to W. L. Alden, the six-column writer Of the editorial page, for many smile, but has just exceled himself in his peculiar line, and there is a sound lesson of stern common sense in his discourse on the Astley belt walking match, of which he talks thus:
 There will probably be more phosieal suffering at the Madison Square Garden this week than there will be among the most earnest devotees of the Hindoo gods during any consecutive six days of the coming year. This shows at once our.vast superiority to the heather and ought to fill every Christian mind with exultation.
 Unlike the gladitorial shows of the an- cient Romans, or the cruel rites of mod ern heathenism, the great walking-m match has for its aim the good of the human race. Who can estimate the enormous amount of good that is done by man who publicly walks for six consecutive days around saw-dust track? Widows and orphans are clothed, the sick are cared for, the sorrowful are comforted and the wicked are turned from the er- TOT of their ways by the mere publica- ton of the bulletins which announce ii'" hhoiiy itpo hoNeli IldS Hlaue, alu how many miles Weston is the rear During the first few hours of the exhi- bition S6,300 was taken at the door, and we may safely estimate that not less than 5000 will be taken daily during the rest of the week. When we think that this large sum of money consecrat- ed to pedestrianism might have been frittered away upon the sick of Mem phis, or the poor of this city, we cannot but feel that the walking-match is an immense blessing. Why should we not have an international drunkard's match, with champion belt to be given to the drunkard who should drink the largest quantity of rum in given time-drink as you please?

that the black cavities of the nippers below disappear in the sixth year; those of the next pair in the seventh year. and those of the corner teeth in the eighth; also the outer corner teeth of the upper and lower jaws just meet at eight years of age. At years old cups leave the two center nippers above, and each of the two upper corner teeth have little sharp protrusion at the extreme outer corner. At the age of 10 the cups disappear from the adjoining teeth: at the age of II the cups disappear from the corner teeth above, and are only in- dicated by brownish spots.
 The oval form becomes broader. and changes, from the twelfth to the six teenth yerr, more and more into a tri- angular form, and the teeth lose, finally. with the twentieth year, all regularity.

GEORGIA'S BONANZA.
Rapid Development of the Gold Mines
 Aronnd Dahlonega.
Louisville Courier-Journal

Louisville Courier-Journal.
 The growth in the gold-mining inter- ests of Georgia has been remarkable in the past few years, and the yield of bull lion now goes over $1 ,000, 900 perannum, and is rapidly increasing. The history of these mines is curious. In 1S47 mug gets of gold were discovered ill the beds of branches all through the Blue Ridge region of Nolth Georgia. Some of these "finds'i were marvellous, nuggets reach ing thousands of dollars in value being found. Silver and diamonds were also found. The story of these discoveries went abroad in the land, and miners flocked in by thousands. The territory belongs to the Creeks, and the Govern ment warned the adventurers of. The rough-and-ready miners continued to pour in, and the Indians then organized to protect their lands. Several sanguin- ary encounters took place, and the whole history of the "intrusion," as it is called, was marked with blood. There was no system in the mining that followed; it was all surface work, the soil being dis solved in rocks and pans. After heavy rain the hills would swarm with 'swind- lers," as the pan-miners were called, picking up the grains of gold washed up by the flood. There were scarcely any stamp-mills; and no scientific mining. The yield was so large, however, that a mint was established at Dahlonega, and heavy work was done. The surface mines were worked out in ten or twelve years, and the gold seekers left for new fields. The mint was dismatled and abandoned, and the mines sank to nomi- nal prices After the war, Northern capi- tai began to inspect these forsaken mines. It was discovered that the quartz was rich, was easily worked, that labor was cheap and water-powers abundant. Vari- ous companies, such as Hand X Co.,, of Cleveland, and the Blakes and Lom- bards, of New York, came in and invest
 cd heavily. The mines were bought at .. trihe, and elaborate machinery was put up. The Yahoula Company ran an ac- queduct over forty miles in length. The yield was slow at first, but remunerative in all cases where the quartz was prop erly crushed. The business has grown immensely since. Six years ago the yield, as reported by the statistics in the geological bureau. was less than Sl00,000. This year the yield is over Sl 100000, and new mines are constantly being opened. The mountains are full of pros pectors, and machinery is being shipped over the roads daily. A railroad is be- ing built into the heart of the gold re- zion. There are valuable properties for sale, or that can be controlled by the ad- vance of capital to fit them up. Many young men are going and fitting up ten stamp mills at cost of 5000. Dr. Little, State Geologist; says that there are un- occupied mines enough to increase the yield to $10,000,000 per annum, without exhausting the quartz in a generation, The Georgia gold stands high at the hints, and is of the best quality.

Burdette's Vacation. Rnrlinrfnn unMknvn

The summer is past. The harvest is ended. The vacation is over. The sum- mer parties are broken up, and the sum- mer friends have gone home. The ducks we shot are still flying around, as happy as the ducks we did not shoot. The drought we caught are growing in weight and size from day to day. The memories of mountain and forest and sea finger to fill the coming winter days with the grace of summer sunshine. No more the fond musquito winds his mellow horn; the black ant haunts alone the long, long deserted picnic grounds; no good man settles on his sand-built nest. The grape smiles out in ruddy bloom where erst the strawberry mocked the languid poeketbook. The sound of the agricultural horse-trot" is heard in the land as the honest horseman wan ders from fair to county fair, enters his horse in all the races, under as many different names as there are counties in the United States. Again the Agricul- tural Associations are making enough money on the gambling privilege to pay the premiums on needle work, and saul sage on the hoof Gone is the salmon rod; gone is the book of the flies; gone is the internal economy of the pocket book; gone are several things. The breezes of September sigh dreamily through the rustling blades of the rip ened corn, and the wide lecture-iields smile with the promise of harvest We have been home about twenty-four hours-halloi train time already Time we were off for Colorado.
