Why HE GOT oRY.-There is mad
lawyer in Dayton. Ohio. He had in his
Office young man, who was reading un-
der him, who was not so wrapped up in
his studies that he did not notice that q
young and pretty woman often came to
take counsel with the lawyer, and that
the consultations were always held in
the private room. The young mans cur
iOsity was excited, and by judiciously
using the keyhole he discovered that the
lawyer devoted most of the time in at
tempting to persuade the lady TO marry
him, But she was wealthy, and could
not be persuaded that his motives were
not mercenary. When next the fair
client called the lawyer was out, and the
youth, dropped easily into the lawyers
line OF argument, proposed and pleaded
so eloquenty that he won his first suit.
If the lawyer had not attempted to whip
his more fortunate young rival, the story
perhaps would not have leaked out.

A SINGULAR ACCIDENTAL strange,
almost unprecedented accident but one
which fortunately produced no serious
result, occurred on George street, near
Pennsylvania avenue, recently. About
8 9o'clock Mr.. William Rothstein, while
sitting in his house smoking, was for the
time being, stunned by the sharp explosion
of his pipe. The pipe, which was a
long-stemmed clay-bowled one, was
picked up from its resting place by Mr..
Rothstein, and filed from a drawer in
which the tobacco was kept loose. Hav-
ing lighted it, he sat back in his chair
and, unfolding a paper before him, began
to read. For a while the pipe drew ex-
cellently, the tobacco burning brightly.
Suddenly. and with no warning save the
quick jetting of few sparks, the pipe
burst into thousand fragments, Rocking
the smoker almost insensiDle.
A few seconds after the explosion, Mr..
Rothstein opened his eyes and found the
bowl Of his pipe scattered in every di-
rection, while part Of the stem was
tightly clenched between his teeth. When
an investigation was made it was found
shat several cartridges were lying in the
drawer mixed with loose tobacco. In
filing the pipe one of them had accident
ly gotten into the bowl, producing the
result described. The ball i'm bedded it.
self in the wall. With the exception Of
a severe jarring of the nerves, Mr.. Roth
stein escaped withou an injury.-Battl-

DEATH OF DANIEL DREw-ONE OF THE
sHARPEsT OF WALL STREET sPECULA-
TORS HIS. HISTORY IN BRIEF A
STRANGE MURDER-YACHTING MAT
TERs-CREEDMooR.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 1879.
To the Editor of the CaIedOnian:
The death of Daniel Drew, the ex-
king of Wall street, is the latest sensa-
ton. The poor old gentleman, who was
at one time worth many millions, and
was at various periods the staunchest
friend and again the bitterest enemy
of Jim Fisk, Commodore Vanderbilt,
Jay Gould, and other financial mag
mates, died almost as poor as when he
began life-a poor cowboy in Carmel,
Putnam Co., N. Y. He made money
first as drover, having made his first
purchases of stock on his own account
with money saved in his service as a
soldier in the war of 1912. He was
proud of his service, and with the vet
eran Thurlow Weed, used regularly to
appear every quarter to receive his
pension of 50 month.
His career was not without fruit. If
the gains of his life do not stick to him
self, fractions were placed where they
did good. The Drew Seminary was
established mainly by his benefaction,
and his family were comfortably, if not
luxuriOusly provided for. He had long
dropped out of the street where his
quaint sayings and doings were daily
talked of, but to the last could not re-
frain from playing his pennies where
he had formerly risked his millions.
DE died of disease of the heart, at ii
O'Clock on Thursday night, in his sons
home in this city, while in conversation
with one of his brokers.
1t would take volumes to describe
the vlcissitudes and remarkable strate-
gy OF the keen old homely man who

Gen. Grant Arrives at San Francisco.

HE is WELCOMED WITH GREAT ENTHU-
IsIASM BY IMMENSE CROWDS OF PEOPLE.
Gen. Grant arrived at San Francisco
Saturday from Japan, after his extend
ed tour in the old world, which began
in May, 1877, and was received with
elaborate and hearty demonstrations
by the great crowds of people belong
ing in that city and other towns of the
state. The General was accompanied
by Mrs. Grant and his eldest son, and
was met on his arrival at San Francis
co by his young son Ulysses.
1t was past noon when the Pacific
Mail steamer City of Toxic was sighted
30 miles out from San Francisco, but
then the first tap of the bell and the
hosting of flag on the merchants ex-
change started the city from the spell
OF suspense that had prevailed for three
days, and transformed the idle throngs
lounglng about the streets into excited
and hurrylng crowds. Bells were set
ringing, the steam whistles screamed,
and the thunder of the cannon rever-
6erated over the hills and harbor.
thousands of men, women and chill
dren, on foot, in carriages and on
horseback, poured out toward Presidio
heights, Point LObos, Telegraph hill
and every other eminence near the city,
eager to catch the first glimpse of the
incoming ship. Other eager crowds
hurried toward the wharves where the
steamers and yachts lay in waiting.

Grant at Home and Abroad.

General Grant returns to us more
mature and wiser man than he set
out. His early army life and his sub
sequent business career, which had
given him no other aptitude for public
affairs than he naturally possessed,
were abruptly followed by the absorb
ing cares of constantly increasing re-
spOnsibility in the field of war. His
work finished there, he was speedily
called to the head of affairs, and placed
in a new and strange position. No
doubt he made the best of it, but there
are reasons for thinking that he knew
almost as little of the world at the end
of his eight years of service as Presi-
dent as at the beginning. Certainly he
had lost something of his faculty for
understanding the people over whose
destiny he had presided, and the peo-
pie did not know him so well as they
thought they did when they elected
him President the first time. A long
sojourn in foreign lands has served both
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1879-09-26

the ex-President and the American
people a good turn. 1t has given the
one a chance to observe other peoples
and to learn to know his own country
men better. He has been able to watch
the course of events from a distance
sufficient to remove him from the tur-
MOL of parties. And the people at
home have become more proud of him,
partly because they feel themselves
honored in the respect he has inspired
abroad, but more for the simplicity,
self-respect and dignity with which he
has borne himself under all circum-
stances. So it is that the distinguished
citizen returns to US no more as the
politician and the party nan, whose
name at once excited various divisions
among the people, but as an illustrlous
American, whom all may wisely and
consistently honor for his great services
in the past, and for the credit with
which he has represented the whole ma
ton in all the civilized countries of the
glObe.-BostOn Advertiser.
