A CASE OF sELF-CONTROL.
Bill Gridiey's Carpct-A HAN wish a BIG
Heart.

"You may say what you please about old
Bill Gridley," said a gentleman just down
from Bodie, TO the crowd who were spinning
for hot. sketches in Phil McGovern's back
room the other night. l know there's. lots
'er fellerS talking against him-'specially now
that he's dead-but l alters speak of a man
as | find him, and old Bill was as fair and
square a one as l wish ter see, spite OF his
crankiness."
putty bad tempered, wasn't he?" said
Phil, who had sprlnkled red pepper on the
salt herring to encourage trade.
"Well, he was-and he wasn't. I've seen
that man keep ms grip on himself and go
along cool and easy like when any other
man IN the camp would have stood on his
hind legs and rared. | call to mind suthing
that had happened once away back in the
flush days that showed what a big heart old
Gridley had in his shirt. You see, we were
| at a mining camp called Lone-skull, up on
the Feather river, and Bl!l's claim had panned
so rich that he began t6put on a good deal
of. style. He had the largest shanty in the
place-four rooms-and what must Gridley
do but send clear round the Horn for a car
pet for the parlor. 1t took him nearly a year
to get it out, and then it was the only carpet
in that part of the state. White ground with
| yellow and red flowers. Folks used to come
for mile to see it."
SIS this yarn in one act ?' growled a friend
| of the miner, who was wistfully watching the
bar-keeper take the lid of some hot chowder
in the other room.

from Dodie. "Lemme see where was

some prospectors just from Frisco, and was

as luck would have it, | wasn't heeled that
night, so l just picked up a tobacco knife that
lay on the table and cut the fellows throat
clean across"
.'Good scheme, too" grunted a faro steerel
in approval.
"Well,a l was saying, old Gridley, WHIT
was in the next room, heard the scutfle ant
CAM in. There was that cut chap lying or
the floor, with his blood streaming all owe,
the carpet-the whole thing just ruined. Ev
erybody was scared to see Bills face-ht
looked just awful. l expected to get a bulle
through my head quicker'n a wink"
"This is pretty tough on me-" says Grid
ley, looking at the carpet.
II know, Bill says /, 'sand l axes you

the carpet. i wouldn't 'er done it if l had.
"No, / don't believe you would, Tom,

gentlemen, old Bill GidIey was a white man
he was; and if 1 ever go back on him afte
that, I'm a coyote"
Andthey all agreed that a man must hav
a pretty big heart to act like that, after all.

How GAan. Lo.nea the Army.

Several persons have laid claim to the cred
it of bringing General Grant out during the
late war, but in the light of truth, no man
had more to do with the matter and has had
less to say about it, than John L. Smith,
present Colonel Cnlted States army at Fort
\ Douglas, Utah. John E.ha as he is familiar
ly known by his Galena friends, has been
\ sojourning briefly IN this city with old chums
and is en- route for his post from Washington,
to which city he was called on official bust
\ ness. Your correspondent had a lengthy
4 chat with the old .!vet." to-day in the office
of his comrade, during the war, General w.
Il. Rowley, and heard him relate the story as
! to just exactly how General Grant happened
to get into the, army. The latter had gone
down to Cincinnati to get a position in Nc
Clellan's brigade aud had failed in the effort.
/ One day, Dick Yates. on whose staff Colonel
Smith was serving, entered the gubOrltatorial
office swearing like a trooper, as he was wont
to do when occasion demanded.
"Whats the matter, governor:?' said Smith.

was his fellow townsman, but because he had
discovered in him genius of more than an or
binary nature.
"Who is he?r asked Gov. Yes.
:sCaptain Grant, of Galena,' replied the
Colonel.
"Can we get him to take hold and help lis
out? inquired Yates.
Smith replied that Grant was eager to
enter the army, and that he would accept
almost any position offered him.
Then write him at Once-no telegraph him
to come down at Once-on the first train,''
said. Governor Yates, with all air of relief d;
and a message was at once forwarded to
Grant, who replied in person Oh the following
day, when he was set to WORK as mastering
officer relieving the governor thereafter of
further anxiety. Grant was subsequently
appointed to the command of the Twenty.
first regiment, stationed at Mattoon, and his
history from that time on is familiar to al
most every man, woman and child on the
globe.
General Smith. when appointed on Gov
ernor Yates staff, was proprietor of a ieweiTy
store in this city. He says he regarded his
nomination as a very graceful compliment on
the part of his old friend, Governor Yates,
and but little Thought, when he took his COM
mission home to show 20 his wife, that in less
than six months from that time he would
be required to enter upon the stern duties of
a soldier, and participate in the carnage OF
war. He has got that piece of sheepskin yet.
