In that interview he spoke freely of Gen
Hancock. saying that, in his opinion, mo
better Or safer man could be elected to the
chief magistracy." Three days ago,
another interview was given in the party
organs from Grant, as reported by Rev.
DIR. Fowler. a prominent Methodist minis
ter. The interview was SO grossly vltuper-
alive, of both Hancock aud the south,
that it shocked even the friends of GAR
field, and Grant FASTENED to modify the
statements of bis ministerial interviewer:
but. after ell the explanations that
Grant made, he stands on record as
falsifying himself about Gen. Hancock.
When did Gen. Grant speak the truth
about Gen. Hancock ?Was he truthful when
he declared. after Hanceck's nomination,
that No better or safer man could be
elected to the chief magistracy." or, was
he truthful when he declared Hancock to
be Crazy to be president" and "ambi..
tious, vain, and weak p 10 one of these
statements. like lis directly conflicting
statements respecting the south, Gen.
Grant told what he believed to be the
truth. and 10 the other he could not have
done SO. 1t will be remarked that when
he vindicated and commended Hancock as
presidency, ne was not prompted By
politicians. but spoke voluntarily and for
himself: and that when he condemned the
south and Hancock he spoke INN ediately
after conference with Garfield. Conkling,
Cameron, and Logan, who had gathered
in Ohio to save Garfleld's own Republican
state to the party. Very many men of all
parties viii profoundly regret that Gen.
Grant has been so strangely forgetful of
the integrity of his public opinions, and
henceforth he will rank only with the des-
perats politicians who deluded him to de-
feat at Chicago. and whose friendship
must be fatal to all his hopes of political sue
cess in the future. He has effaced all the
little gliding that was left on the third
term banner. and that is an achievement
for the country, but it is at fearful cost

ChlncOteague Island.

This island forming part of the terri
tory of Accomac county, eastern shore
Of Virginia. lies between Chincoteogue
and Assateague bays. Its area is about
twenty-one square uIiles, and its popu-
lation 2,700. There is but one resident
physician TO attend to all this people
but his duties are lighter than one would
suppose, for the islanders are remark
ably robust people.
For those who are fond of outdoor
sports, and one who enjoy the pictures
que, this island Is a delightful watering
place. Fish, game and oysters are abund
ant, and excellent pilots are always al
hand, ready to take pleasure seekers
boating. Tie ocean lies but four miles
distant, and though the ears OF the peo-
pie are constantly filled with the threat
enlng roar of their great liquid neighbour
the island itself is not specially subject
to storms.
IN the great storm of 1S41 the waters
of the Atlantic swept every living thing
from the island in less than fifteen min
utes, so says tradition, and the tide rose
so high that houses were unroofed.

Not Up On Goats.

The goat is an every day sight and the
man who does not study him and learn
his ways and habits, has only himself to
blame. Saturday afternoon civilian
was quietly feeding on Columbia street
when load of household goods went
past. The owner kept pace with the
wagon, carrying under his arm fine
mirror about five feet long. AS he came
opposite the goat he met a friend, and of
course he had to stop and tell why he
was changing locations and how much
he expected to b. benefited. The glass
was heavy, and he naturally dropped one
end to the walk to rest his arm.
Had this man been close observer he
would have seen the goat and wished he
had brickbat Had he made goat ma
ture study he would have known better
than to lower the glass. But he was a
man who despised the trifies OF lite, and
he was telling how many tons of coal
the new house would save him this win
ter, when the goat, who had been getting
mad for two long minutes at sight of a
rival in the mirror, went through the glass
like thunderbolt, and jumped into the
street with the frame clinging to his
shaggy sides. All that ripping, and
raving, and cusslng-all the opening of
front doors all the inquiries by an ex-
cited crowd could have been saved had
the citizen but beckoned to the smallest
boy on the street and asked him to give
away few points on goats -Er.

Why We Brar.

This is time when, as Americans, we
1eel like doing a little Boosting. One
hundred and forty years ago, when we
declared ourselves to be free and indie
pendent people, our population was less
than three millions To-day, according
to Gen. Walkers rough estimate, it is
4S,000,000. Boston was then an lnslg
nificant village, as far as population was
concerned and New England had but a
few scattering schools and two colleges.
The entire country had but thirtv-seven
newspapers, and the best of them was not
equal to the worst weekly printed to-
day in the mushroom towns of the Rocky
Mountain region. In 1889 we had but
seventyfi five postoffices, and the mails
were carried on horse back over 1000
miles OF road, and at an expense of $32,-
600 per year. To-day we have $4,000
-ofices-and new ones ale being es-
tablished dally-and the mails are car
ried over 265, 900 miles of post roads, at
an annual expense of $29,000,000. We
have nearly quarter of million miles
of Telegraph wire. We have al 500
school houses, 63 .082 churches, 729 daily
newspapers, and over 5000 periodicals Of
all kinds. Our farms are valued at not
less than $9,262. 1851, our farming
implements at 1886 S7S, 4ss, and our live
stock as 81 ,525, 276,457. Our farm pro-
ducts in single year have brought us
$2,417, 53S, 675, and the rame time we
have paid, in farm wages, $31a,2s5, 1856
Our crops are bountiful, yes, enorm Gus
and our exports have reached nearly
$475 900 in twelve month. Our manu-
factories are prosperous. In cotton
goods we challenge the world. In one
year our $50 mills turned out cloth
enough to encircle the earth twenty times,
if made into one piece, with still enough
to make every human being a suit of
clothes. and furnish each with pieces of
patching.-Bosto, Post,

A Smart Turtle.

One damp afternoon the turtle came
waddling out into the big room to Dor
row little sand to lay his eggs in. "My
friend the elephant said, "yours is a
very hard case"
"Yes," replied the turtle, "but while
there's life there's SOUP"
The elephant was greatly astonished,
for he didn't know that the turtle was
given to that sort of thing at all, and al
the other animals grinned, because you
see, 1t wasn't often that the elephant met
anyone In the menagerie who could talk
to him.
'Well,' said he, after pause, cit Is q
good thing your back is so broad"
Eyes, it's replied the turtle, ''because
there's no there's no telling what make
comb of it."
The animals cheered softly and the
elephant looked amazed.
"Well, Old gO-as- you please he said,
presently, ''you pay as you go, don't
you.''
"Oh, yes, the turtle said; II have to
shell out every once in while. How's
hides?" he asked cheerfully.
''Oh, they're easy" the elephant said.
GA little loose may be, but nothing to
worry over. House-movlng business
keeps up, reckon"
eyes, SIR the turtle said; "nothing
rushing particularly, but I'm in and out
oil day. Nothing unusual in shawl straps
is there?"
The animals cheered at this delicate
allusion to the trunk business, and for
the first time in his life the elephant
looked as though he was going to lose
his temper, but he rallied and then
said:
ooh, no; much the same as usual; Just
kind of hand to mouth business. By
the way, didn't I see your fathers old
overcoat up in front of the restaurant yes
terday?"
81 guess you did," said the turtle; che
wasn't the kind of man to die and make
no sign. Gong down into the billiard
room pretty soon9''
The elephant said: "No, they'd have
to excuse him, but if they'd wait till the
hyena came along he'd have some native
whine with them" And then the tur-
tie said: Gall right, he'd drop in about
tusk."
And the menagerie went to supper that
night with the greatest enthusiasm. But
the elephant was very quiet and only
spoke once, and that was to ask the Os-
trlch where he supposed the turtle grew
to be so cute9 And the foolish bird of the
desert tossed an iron bolthead down its
throat and replied:
picked it up, l reckon"
And then, children, the elephant GRIM

demic in the menagerle, and he leaned
up against the center pole and went te

I'm THE CLOUDS.
BY CARRIE v. SHAW.

In downward arch of the clouds,
That was rocked on the bilowy air,
siiver-whiie star lay alone
Like an innocent little one there.
Like glorious soul that is free,
1t lay in its beauty of white,
Asleep in its cradle of clouds
That was rocked on the bosom of night.
Like a snowy-robed infant asleep,
Or soul of the glorious dead,
In state lay the glimmering star,
All alone on its cradle-like beu.
Thin curtains of misty-like blue,
Trimmed in white, tilmy cloud lace,
We're drawn from the cradle aside,
Where zephyr just held them in place.
Then slow, as the picture dissolved,
A white arm reached out in the blue,
And beautiful fancy was mine,
AS my eyes grew all dim with the dew.
thought, when our Father shall find
Us silent in deaths chilly sleep,
With strange, smiling eyes looking up
To where the white clouds sway and weep,
He will look on our folly and sin
Tired children, who will not awake
And pardon with plying tears,
For our innocent babyhood's sake.
And with souls grown spotless as then,
With the laces of mists for our shrouds,
He will take up His poor, weary babes,
And rock us to sleep in the clouds.
