letter to the Post, states that the facts upon
which his review of General Sherman's Me-
moirs were based were furnished him by
Grant through his then Private Secretary,
General 0. L. Babcock. This review, based
upon these facts, vindicated General Grants
military record on points where General Sher-
man had done him injustice. Recently Gen

quently rejecting upon the reviewer. In view
of this state of affairs General Boynton an

A High Price for Eggs.

Ii the sale of curiOsities which took
place in London recently be any cri-
terion, the great aux has been very
badly advised in ceasing its periodical
visits to the North of Scotland. As a
foreign traveller that gentle bird was at
one time somewhat of celebrity.
When tired of diving for lump-tish in
the northern seas, or possibly precluded
from doing so by the phenomenon
known as ice, he would make a trip to
such southern ATTITUDES as Greenland,
Norway. Spitzbergen and the extreme
north of Great Britain, occasionally ac-
companied by his spouse, who, by way
of a souvenir, would lay an egg in some
cleft above high water. Two such me-

be hard to understand. A bird
that can lay such golden eggs
as these should lose no time in
swimming-for it cannot fiy-to the best
markets. One difficulty only presents
itself in the matter, and that certainly
is formidable. The great aux has, it is
feared. suddenly become extinct. II
that be so, its eggs are certainly worth
all that they have fetched, as no more
will be found in Scotland or elsewhere.

Gus friends at home may take an interest. It

The week passed rapidly in sightseeing
and now we are to spend a week in attend

| Convention, to which we are delegates, before
we leave for Paris. | cannot enumerate all
the things seen, but prominent among them
all stands the Crystal Palace, where we spent
an entire day. It is wonderful structure
and full of wonderful things. Most of our
| time was spent in examining the various
courts illustrative of the progress of art
through the centuries, and in the different
nations, beginning with Egyptian art hum
dreds of years before Christ. 1t was prof
liable study. The extensive grounds are
laid out beautifully with fountains and walks
and things curious and strange. Later in
the week we went out again to attend the
great Handel Musical Festival. There we're
about 1900 singers, 800 or 400 players upon
instruments mostly violins-a large grand
organ, and an audience Of over 10000. It
was the largest jam I was ever in There
seemed to be acres Of people. Reserved
seats sold for 81 and upwards. One couple
| know of paid guineas-$ 15-for seats for
them both, and about every seat was filled.
We thought we could not afford so expensive
a luxury, and SO contented ourselves with a
standing place outside the railing, paying
$1.25 for that in addition to the fare out and
hooly To p,,%
camp stools for ! shilling each (25 cts. J, and
so got through three hours of the concert
very comfortably, waiting two hours before
hand in order to secure eur positions. Of
course we were not as near as would have
been desirable, but still we could hear and
see very well, and felt we'll paid for going
out. 1t was magnificent affair, the orato-
rio of Israel in Egypt" being rendered

idea of the possibilities of music. The festi-
val continued for days, with about %. 900.
in attendance each day. We went only one
day. ~
Yesterday the Sunday School Convention
opened with delegates from all over the
world, even as far as Australia, $4,000 miles
way; about 1900 present in all; most of
them from America. The speeches were
short and to the point. Everything looks as
though we should have a rousing time. This

GENERAL HANCOCK.

Inhis private relations, General Han
cock is an honorable man, and is
equally respected by Democrats and
Republicans. But as political leader
his military record-for he has no civ
il records subject to the closest crit
iciSm, and marks him as an advocate
of views which are dangerous in the
extreme. He is an extreme States
Rights man, and as such was support
ed in the nominating convention by
the ex-rebel element, not only with
unanimity, but with enthusiasm.
In evidence of the little regard he
has for national authority, it is charged
that when Mcclellan was deposed from
the command of the army of the Po-
tomac, Gen. Hancock proposed, in a
council of war, that :" the order for the
removal of Mcclellan be disregarded,
and the army march upon Washington
to depose Lincoln and Stanton" This
charge Hancock has refused to disown,
but, nevertheless, the Democracy re-
gard him as a safe man to seat in the
Presidential chair. Ea on al n5E
1t is charged that contrary to the
views of his superior military officers,
he revoked Gen. Sheridan's orders in
Louisiana, and as far as possible aided
the sworn enemies Of his country to
regain control of the South in accord
ance with the Johnson policy; and now
the Democracy support him for the
Presidency. In doing SO they are pro-
posing to turn over to these same
southern Democrats the political con
troll Of the entire country. What a
grand vindication of Andrew Johnson's
policy would his election be
It is charged that after the decision
of the Electoral Commission he offered
in effect, to give his services as an ar
my officer to Tilden, if he would play
the part of usurper. He does not deny
the charge And now the Democrats
recognizing in all these acts his fidelity
to Democratic doctrine, and his fitness
for the Presidency, are willing to over
look his military record, when as an
army officer he CALAMITY fought the
southern wing of that great political
party, and, if possible, will seat him in
the White House. 1t occurs to us thai
as President for a South American
Republic he is eminently fitted; but
we are not prepared to trust
him or the party he represents to con
troll the affairs of our own government
just yet.
