GRANT AND SHERMAN.

There comes an interesting story
from Washington. 1t seems that orr
Ulysses, impelled by that noble SEN
timent, "me first that has always
been found uppermost in his compo-
sition, is lobbying in Congress for the
object of being appointed to q posi-
ton which he wants to have
dubbed Captain General. He has
served the Nation so long and so
we'll since he abandoned the business
of tanning row hides, that the
country must give him something all
the time. Grant is too high strung
to ask that his friend Sherman be
pushed aside i'll order that he may
take his place but he sees nothing
wrong in urging the creation of a
grade higher than General, so that he
may modestly overlap him.
Sherman, however, does not view
this operation through the same kind
Of eyeglasses. He squeals indig-
nantly in a letter which he has ad-
dressed to a New York paper, and
says that Grant is violating a pledge
made him in 1868, to the effect that
if he, Grant, became President he
would never seek to disturb him in
his position of Generalissimo of the
United States Army.
The Solid South is disinterested
spectator of this charming quarrel
and as no fayors are due to either OF
the contestants, it is meet for South,
ern Rebels to say:

MORE LEGISLATION.

At this moment the press of the
State, having blown itself out on the
subject of the Presidential election
and the emigration theme, is bring
ing its guns to bear on the new
constitution and the legislators who
interpreted its provisions in so buns-
ling a manner at the late session OF
the General Assembly.
1t would be somewhat indicate for
one who was q member of the august
body who framed the constitution to
vaunt it's features or condemn them,
therefore well have little to say about
it, beyond this that we see nothing to
prevent the amending of the instru-
ment after experience will have dem
onstrated that some of it's component
parts do not operate advantageously
to thepublic interests.
We have an idea though, that the
General Assembly could so frame leg
islation as to render the constitution
Il fundamental law of more value than
some of our contemporaries attach tC
it. We agree with those who asser,
that the acts of the late Legislature
are not satisfactorily framed, but dc
not feel quite sure that the same mer
if called together in an extra session
of twenty days, would do more
than spend some fifty or sixty thous-
and dollars of the peoples money.
To be sure, it may be that New
Orleans needs a new Charter; that
the revenue act operates unsatisfac.
torily; that the jury laws ought to be
amended, and that other matter:
here and there could be improved
yet we can't help but fall back into
the rut of doubt where the majority
of our Legislators appear as doctor:
incompetent to cure the Ills com
planned of.
We are open to conviction, never,
theless.

Which one was e'er so dear, SO kind,
So beautiful as longing?

For one transceudant moment,
Before the present poor and bare
Can make its sneering comment.
Still. through our paltry stir and strife,
CLOVIS down the wished ideal,
And longing Eolds in clay what life
Caryes in the marble real.
To let the new life in, we know
Desire must open the portal;
Perhaps the longing to be SO
Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing is Gods fresh heaVenward will;
With our poor earthward striving,
We quench it that we may be still,
Content with merely living.
But would We learn that hearts full scope
Which we are hourly wronging,
Our lives must climb from hope TO hope
And realize our longing.
All! let US hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckon
The moment when we tread His ways,
But when the spirit beckons
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond seIf-satisfaction,
When we are simply good IN thought,
HOWe'er we feel in action,

"But in saying this" she softly added,
II did not mean to rel1nquish my claim

have done could give me any pleasure, if
1t were not for my deep assurance of your
worth, both as an artist and as a man.

She offered him her hand, which he
took with enthusiasm. Perhaps there
was at that moment something In Flor
ence's eyes which maiden would not
have known how to express. At any rate,
Philip Polndexter felt great tide Of
emotion swelling in his bosom, and he
madly kissed the beautiful hand he held.
She crimsoned to the very temples, but
she did not withdraw her han /. and there
he made it his own forever.

WOMANHOOD.
BY RACHEL HAINEs.

BY RACHEL HAINEs.
Pure was her heart and true,
This by her eyes I knew,
Pure as a star,
So when ] saw her there,
Sweet, gentle, pure and fair,
Standing mid flowers rare.
All my heart went to her
Left me and worshiped her,
Standing afar.
When, kneeling at her shrine,
Told I that love of mine
Deep as the sea,
Into the dark blue eyes
Came such a sweet surprise
Upon the sweet, fair face,
In which shone every grace,
Plainly [ then could trace
True love to me.
Brown was her ripping hair;
All, she was good and fair,
My own loved one.
Eyes like the stars of night,
Eyes deep as wells ofilight,
Thought I in my delight,
As my lips hers did meet,
Making my life complete
"There is none half so sweet,
None like her-nonew
Arms white as drifted snow
In loves glad overflow
Reached out TO me;
And the dear form of grace
Rested in my embrace,
Joy filing her sweet face;
Oh. God, then it was well
That death SO dark as hell
Should all my JOY dispel,
Take light from me?
Pure as the lily white
She from her lofty height,
Will my star be.
No loved one by my side,
Would to God too had died
With thee, my love, my bride
All, me, ali, me!
