General Grant on Foreign Lands

During his conversation with the
gentlemen present the General spoke al
his visit to Japan.
He said he had no trouble whatever
with people, as everywhere he found
native Japanese who speak the English
language huently, the Government
having introduced the language into
the public schools. He says that in the
interior districts of the country in al
most every school precinct young peo-
pie may be found who have never been
away from home, and yet speak Eng.
lish in o manner that would be no dis.
credit to Lindley Murray.
He says the school system in Japan
is very prosperous, and that the higher
branches of sciences are taught in q
much more simplified form than in this
country.
He related some of incidents OF his
dinner with the King of Siam, whom
he describes as young man about
twenty five years of age, and who
speaks English fueptly. He said the
dinner surprised him, for he found
nearly every dish much the same as
those prepared for him in Paris. On
/ inquiry he ascertained that the King
employs French cook constantly, and
is endeavoring, it seems, to be up with
the latest modes of cooking.
In Siam, as in other places, lie found
the English language the principal
foreign language taught in the schools.
He thought, he said, that when he
started he should need supply OF
French, but found by experience that
good English is the better language for
trip around the world. He thinks
English is sure to be the common Ian
guage for all nations, and that the
more pro yressive countries, seeing
this, are teaching it in their schools
LeacsnWo'M Times.
France is at present suffering from a
plague of wolves, no less than half a
million of these animals being esti
mated to exist in France at the present
moment. The damage inflicted by
these creatures in their nocturnal raids
from forest and mountain is estimated
at about 80 600, 900 francs annually.
1t is suggested, and with good deal
of force, too, that the proprietors OF the
hotels shoula keep posted in consplc-

GOOSE ISLAND.

IT'S INHABITANTS WANT MORE LIGHT.
a meeting Of Goose Island residents and prop
ertyholders was held lust evening at No. 101
Hickory avenue, a little street running of to the
northwest, and one block west Of the Division
street bridge, over tho canal An alleged young
lawyer by the name Of Williams, who was last
known as Socialist, and whose political a1nbi-
ton is supposed to be q seat IN the
Council as representative Of the island,
called the meeting to order, chose himself
Chairman, and proceeded to conduct the busi-
ness. A long petition In his own handwriting,
addressed to the Mayor and Council, and pro-
ceeding from property owners living on North
Branch street. from Halsted to Division, on
Cherry from North Branch to Division, on
Hickory avenue from Bliss to Division, on Di-
vision from Canal to the river, and on North
HnIsted from the riyer to the canal, set forth
that the Chicago Gaslight s. Coke Company re-
'sonto :" the island for the simple reason that it
wouldn't pay. The tracks Of the. Chicago &
Pacific Railroad extended across the island,
trains and engines running night and day, and
the uneven and broken sidewalks made trnv-
cling at night dangerous and pcrilous to life
and limb. In view Of all this, the property
holders asked and demanded TINT the Council
take immediate action to procure the lighting Of
the aforementioned streets In addition to
these on-paper reflections, the Chairman pro-
cceded to inform his hearers that Prof. Barrett,
Of the Fire Department, had agreed to set up
less than gus and, as the city would appropriate
to pay for it, 1t wouldn't cost the residents q
cent. In view Of these pleasant and confident
assurances, the property owners present natur-
electric light, and signatures to the petition
were Immediately forthcoming. The remainder
Of tho session was devoted to the appointment
Of a committed to labor with AID. Burrett and
McCnffrey this evening, and impress upon them
the fact that Goose Island demands light, ''and

ALLEGED INSOLVENCY.

About month ago, Horace 4. Hurlbut filed a
bill AGAINST the Dyer Mining Company, claiming
that he had been induced hby false representa-
tions to buy 5000 of stock in the Dyer Mining
Company, but had since 1earned that the Com
pnny was in debt nnd insolfent, and that mort
gage for 40 900 on the Company's property was
about to be foreclosed. He asked that u Re-
cciyer might be appointed for the Company and
its affairs wound up in chnncery. Saturday the
Company, by its attorney, filed an answer ad-
mitting the incorporation Of the Compay, the
issue of certificates OF stock, the capital
being $l,000,0W 1tad mits that it has been bor~
rowing money, and TINT its Indebtedness has in
creased since its organization, but claims this is
owing to the difficulty of getting the ores to mar
ket during the winter ,cand 1nrge quantities Of
ore are accumulating on, the dump, to be dis
posed Of In the spring. The Company denies'it
Is insolvent, and claims its machinery Is worth
more than three times its Indebtedness. The
mortgage has been declared due, but the mort
gagees have offered to take pay in stock, and
the stockholders have consented to this arrange
ment. The Company admits that it represented
the stock was full paid, but denies that
Hurlbut was deceived thereby, or that he paid
more for his shares than they were worth: On the
contrary, he can sell his stock for more than he
paid for 1t, but has always refused, aud refused
to allow the 'Compnny's debts to be paid in stock
in order to force tho other stockholders to bug
him out ut high figure. And. having answered
all the allegations Of the bill, the Company asks
to have it dismissed.

his train rushing up the system Of switches
