Care in the Use Of Postal Cards,

Great care should be taken in tho use
Of postal cards, which should never be
employed if you have anything Of an
unusual or ambiguous nature to COM
municate, An editorial writer OF the
New York Times, evidently writing of
personal experience, says: "a newspa-
perman once planned story in which
a lady unhappily married was to sue for
q divorce, and TO make sure of being
correct, wrote to lawyer friend, stat
ing the case rs he meant TO describe it,
Back came a postal card: You could
not get divorce on the grounds you
mention in New York; you might in
Connecticut or Maine This card,
handed in by the carrier to Mrs. News
paperman one forenoon, when her hus-
band was away ut business, raised q
breeze in the household which was not
allayed for some days.

New Story About General Grant,

Ii has Just leaked out that while Gen.
eral Grant was travelling in Asia he eX-
pressed desire TO get shot at a lion.
Not wishing 10 expose him TO any dan
ger the natives secured stuffed lion,
set it up in a Jungle, and then took the
illustrious traveller out for q hunt.
When the beast was sighted the Gener-
al was all excitement, and crawling up
TO a favorable position began to blaze
away at the animal with no perceptible
effect. After firing about twenty shots
he began to get mad, and, taking off
his coat, he settled down for regular
seige Fearing his wrath when he dis
covered the sell, the attendants en-
deavored to induce him to give up the
attempt to kill the beast, telling him
that it bore a charmed life and that he
could not possibly injure it. He told
them to 90 to thunder, that he was af-
ter blood and was going to have it,
After vain fusiade of half an hour he
arose TO his feet crashing his teeth with
rage, threw his suspenderS of his
shoulders, rolled up his sleeves and
grabbed his rifle by the barrel so he
could use it as club The attendants
again begged him to desist, but he po-
litely though forcibly informed them
that he would have that cuss or leave
his honored remains strewn promiscu-
ously oil through that Jungle, and with
wild cry of mn fight it out on this
lion if it takes all summer!" he rushed
upon the beast, and with one wel-di-
rected blow he laid it over on its side.
Then he chased the native attendants
for six miles, but being better acquaint-
ed with the country they got away
from him in safety.
