General Grants Fortune.

From the Hour.l
AS a good deal of discussion has
been rife concerning General Grants
peeuniary means, it may be interest
ing to know the exact truth. The
entire property of General and Mrs.
Grant yields them an annual income
of $4,000. During the trip around the
world the expenses of the presidential
party were at the rate Of $4,000 a
year, a serious encroachment upon the
ex presidents capital. Luckily, how
ever, young Grant, who lives in New
York and is director in several min
ing companies, speculated so prudently
and successfully on his fathers behalf
that a welcome addition was made to
his income. During the first two
months Of this year Grant, jr., made
$4,000 for his father, mostlyin chrys-
olite.

From the Rochester Democrat.
A German physician, DR.. Treichler,
in paper read before the German
association of natural historians, dis
cusses headache among school chill
dren. He says the principal cause of
headache is intellectual over .exertion.
He attacks the present system of edu,
cation as tending to produce mental
confusion instead of increasing knowl-
edge. He protests against night
study as causing an exhaustion of the
brain, so that new ideas cannot really
be grasped, while confusion is pro-
duced with regard to subjects that
have been studied during the day.
The same views were recently ex
pressed by an eminent American
physician. Both critics are on the right
track. The results which they deplore
are owing TO the ambition of
parents and scholars themselves
rather than to the work of the
teachers. The teacher, under present
methods, suffers as much as scholars.
The greatest present evils of the
scholars are crowded rooms and bad
air. These alone would produce
headaches, and render child unfit
for study and the the teacher unfit for
his or her duties. Our teachers are
shut up in box with a great number
of scholars, who soon exhaust the oxy-
gen, especially in cold weather when
the windows are closed. When this
happens scholars and teachers are re-
duced to struggle for existence, and
If anything is learned it is at the great
expense of vital force. Improvements
in school buildings are going on
slowly, and it is possible that in ten or
twenty years teachers and scholars can
enter a school house without danger
Of slow poison with carbOlic acid gas.

Mr.. Hermany, the distinguished
engineer of Louisville, estimated
some years ago that it would cost one
million dollars to construct the ma
chiuery, reservoirs, etc., necessary to
supply Memphis with water from the
Missippi river. Times have changed
since then; improvements have been
made, and it is possible that even Mr..
HermSny might, if called upon, recon
struct his figures. The city authorities
we learn, are taking an interest in this
matter, and have sent on for another
engineer at the expense of the water
works company to consider the water
question. We still hope that it will be
pvacticable for the company to use
the Mississippi river water, to furnish
an ab undant supply of good article,
and at reasonable price. At the
same time we hope the investment will
prove remuaerative. This is question
which affects the health and lives Of
the people, and will have much to do
with the future sanitary and CONNER
cial conditions Of the city. The wa
ter supply Of thirty-fve or forty
thousand people in growing city, is
serious matter. The people are not
likely to be satisfied with anything
but Mississippi river water. An
abundant supply of good cheap
water will promote the health
of tho city, improve the general
appearance of yards, streets and alleys
and promote cleanliness and comfort.
Wolf river water will never entirely
answer the purpose. After every rain
the mud that settles down in every
vessel Of this water can be scraped VI
by the spoonful. No ordinary filter
will keep it clear or clean, and besides
the people feel that they are entitled
to good water without paying an!
more than it is worth and being at in
finite expense to strain the mud ant

THE re-adjusters have put forth an
electoral democratic ticket in Vir-
ginia. The necessity for this cannot
be seen outside of the state. There
was already Hancock and English
ticket in the field. 1t is not matter
Of any national anxiety or Importance
whether the electors are re-adjusters
or not. They cannot vote on that
question or use their official influence
on one side or the other. A
divided democratic vote in Virginia
will give the state to the
republicans and then the readjusters
will shine forth as great statesmen
and patriots. The outside world cares
very little about the local politics OF
Virginia, but when the action of hot
headed, reckless politicians endangers
the success Of the democratic ticket,
tits time to enterap protest againstsuch
suicidal policy. Virginia once bore,
the proud title of the mother OF presi-
dents and states, but the old mother has
borne and nurtured some other. chill
dren that bid fair to bring down her
gray hairs in shame and disgrace.
Two democratic electoral tickets in
the field divided solely on a state
question, which is not involved in the
presidential canvassl Here is states
manship and political sagacity. A
few demagogues would perpetuate the
the misrule of the republican party to
crafty their own petty malice.

The Etiquette of Shoes.
London Globe.


 The custom of removing boots to Bur nah is not so much an article os eti- quette observed by equals to equals as an ingenious device to exalt the mon- arch of the Golden Foot and degrade his subjects, and strangers, too, before him. It is carried further at Mandalay than at any other Asiatic court. If European meets the Kings palanquin in the streets of the city he is expected to stop then and there and divest himselef Of hls boots. A moments hesitation to com ply with the uncomfortable and degener- ating custom has often entailed very serious consequences on the Foreigner; and our diplomatic difficulties with the Burmese Court have been considerably intensified atdifferent times owing to the instruction ot the Lord Chamberlain at Ava or Mandalay that our envoy should take his boots of, and the reluct- ance of our proud and diffident repre- sentatives to appear in the public streets in their stockings. The British are not, however, the only people whose feel, ings have been hurt by this unpleasant dlscourtesy; and Aasiatic as we'll as. Eu' ropean Ambassadors have been in the most ancient times subject to the incon. venience. The first Chinese invasion oi Burmah, in the year 12S4 A. D., was brought about entirely by the "shoe difficulty" The Chinese envoys to the monarch Nara -ha-pede had insisted in spite of remonstrance, in appearing Tn the royal presence with their boots on. They ought to have known better for at Pekin such conduct would have been considered the night of bad mar ners; and as far as they were concerned their intraction of Burmese etiquette had very unpleasant ending They were not allowed to twice insult the Lord of All the White Elephants, but were waylaid in a quiet part of Amara poora and had their throats cut, sum mary mode of proceeding which brought an army upon Burmah from the Flowery Land
 l The habit of removing the outer shoe before entering an inner apartment of an Oriental house is a great deal more imbarrassing to the European than tc the native. The well-to-do Asatic mol uncommonly retains after passing tho threshold, a thin boot without a sole reaching up to the ankle, of bright vel low or scarlet leather, the outer shoe being a sort of golosh. which can b, shuffied off easily and easily replaced whereas, to say nothing of the ignominy of appearing in stockings, his taking of and putting up the laced-up shooting boot, with which the Enghshman is ac customed to brave the mud of Orienta cities, are matters of both time and in convenience.

Itwas this boy and his father who dis covered the body last "Wednesday morn ing, which, when first seen was about a quarter of mile from shore, drifting northward. No boats being anywhere near, and realizing the danger of it being carried our further into the lake, young Cornell dt termined to swim out and re- cover it. This he tried to do but failed, being unable to swim so far. He then returned to shore, procured horse from his fathers farm neay by, and tried to swim the horse out, but when near the the bodyt the horse became unmanageable and he was again forced to return. He then took colt which he had ridden and trained. and succeeded in swimming hlm alongside of the body, and grasping the coat-collar, succeeded in bringing it safely to shore. It was heroic thing to do, and the fact that a boy only thirteen years of age was the hero, enhances the bravery.

Twelve Thousand Glasses of Beer.

 Cornelius Rosenberg; a Hollander by birth, and wood-turner by trade who lives on Elizabeth street, has passed the last twelve of the fifty-two years he has been in this world Tn Q way worthy of note. He works regularly by day, but on every night, with less than a dozen exceptions during the years named, he has after supper'taken walk of two or three miles. invariably stopping in his journey at Harburger's brewery, where he drinks three or four ''schooners,' of lager beer. He generally arrives in the tap-room at nIne o'clock and leaves with great regularity at ten o'clock. On week days he seldom smokes. but on Sunday he remains at his boarding house and smokes ten to fifteen cigars, He is not talkative, makes few acquaintances, and at Marburger's, as at his boarding-house, takes the same place at the table on every visit. He neither gives nor ac- cepts treats" and his favorite beverage never disagrees with him. Assuming that Mr. Rosenberg drank no beer on Sunday, but took four glasses daily on week days during the past twelve years, he must have ip pbibed 13,029 glasses, But as It appears that on some rare occa- sions he took but three glasses, we have allowed him, in round numbers, l2,000 schooners of lager, an amount of fluid that would float far sized vessel.
