Gen Grants letter on Fitz John Porter's
case took Senator Logan off his feet, and
has demeralized him. He is sef-nominat-
ed candidate for President, and he has reck-
oned on his demonstration against Porter
in the last Congress to coneiliate the So
called "soldier element.
His assault on Porter was fully sustained
by Grant, who had recently declared to
Logan and others that Porter should have
been hanged. This sudden change of base
without warning of any kind has, natural
" enough, upset the Senator's equilibrium
and left him IN dilemma.
Hoping to dispose of the third termcr
Logan was prompt to sbring in a bill to
put Grant on the retired list as General of
the army, with a pension for the remainder
of his days That is to say, after having
voluntarily gone INTO civil life, and after
having enjoyed the office of President and
It's benefits to the fullest extent for eight
years, in recognition of his services during
the civil war, Logan proposed virtually to
restore him to the army, and to treat him
as retired officer of the highest rank.
He naturally expected the aid of Grant
in his Presidential plans, as a grateful re-
turn for this movement, whereby his CAPT
tai would be increased. But after commit
ting himself inextricably to the proposed
pension, here comes Grant on the scene, as
the pronounced champion of Porter. with
all the authority of his military career, to.
undo the work upon which Logan had
counted SO largely
1t is very natural that Logan's ardor for

Talking of noses, was reminded of
curious freak of nature this morning.
A boy of nine years of age was sent here
by his mother to have tooth pulled.
That child has the largest nose / ever
seen on human countenance. 1t is al
most as big as my fist. His mother and
father were both patients of my father.
One day the old gentleman came down
to the office and found a man and woman
waiting his professional attendance.
Each had three-cornered black patch
of sticking-plaster in the middle of the
face denoting the absence of . nose.
They were complete strangers to each
other. My father took the necessary
plaster casts and told them to call on the
following day. They did so, and again
came together; but this time it was very
evident they were acquainted. Subse-
quent visits clearly proved them to have
become intimate, and on the day my
father fitted the pair with noses they
walked off. arm in arm on the sunny side
of the way, proudly conscious of restored
beauty. Three weeks afterward they
were married. The boy who came this
morning is their only child. He is per-
fectly healthy. and his enormous probos-
els is regarded with intense admiration
by his artificially beaked progenitors.

Other desirable water-loying plants,
much prettier for drying than the fash

calities. Some of the daintiest orna-
ments of ladies' bonnets are culled from
these neglected wastes. As taste will be
the guide in selection, it is not necessary
to particularize varieties.
For the time Of gathering it is impos-

if later, they are apt to ''fuzz'' or rattle

For treatment, cut the stalks Of the de-

but dried grasses have dingy, washed
out appearance, which can only be reme-
died by dyeing or bleaching. They are
dyed by florists in all brilliant colors, but
refined taste seems to dictate that the
original bronze, gold or green be re-
stored. The process is simple, and per-
formed with aniline dyes, which are for
sale in various forms. For those who do
not possess the skill Of florists in shaping
by steaming and manipulation, it is well
to place the grasses or oats in an upright
or leaning position while drying after
dyeing to avoid the stiff look Of a per-
fectiy erect stalk. Indeed if the grasses
are not to be dyed, it is well to dry them
in some such position at first.
For arrangement there are few pref
tier things than the little grass or grain

they are in the form of anything else as

kind, both trimmed and untrimmed,
may be readily found. If the baskets

cradles, ETC.. may be utilized for the
purpose. O,sting.''

A Dsmented Woman Claims =
stranger as Her "OWn.o

Yesterday morning as s stranger, well
dressed, respectable looking gentleman, was
strolling through the Park admiring Its
beauties, he was accosted by 8 decently
attired, middle sged white woman, who
greeted him with every demonstration Of Joy.
Toe gentleman had never seen her before,
and being greatly surprised BY this well
come, suggested that there must be a case
OF mistaken identity. The woman vehe-
meutly asserted there was not. and selling
the Strangers hat, walked off with It and
refused to give 1t up. He followed her, and
endeavored by persuasion to obtain his
tile, the situation becoming rather en-
bsrrsssing TO him, as there were 8
number of people in the Park
at the time, whose attention was attracted
10 the unusual scene. Finding it impossi-
bic to recover his hat from the woman with
out using violence, the stranger sought q
policeman, who took her in custody. She
held on to the gentleman's hat, however,
insisting that he belonged to her,
was her Gown dear one" and she
would not let him get away. The woman
was carried to the police barracks, aud
the stranger followed. The Woman's de-
mesnor was firm but not violent, and, both
parties being perfect strangers to the po-
licemaD, he was rather perplexed by the
statements Of the excited lady. Ia re-
spouse to Inquiries the gentleman asserted
most emphaticslly that he had never seen
her before, and was at q perfect loss TO
understand her actions. Ga reaching
the barracks two physicians were
summoned, who pronounced her demented.
She said she was q married woman, and
gave her name as Mrs. Lugun, and when
asked where her husband was, point
ed TO a gentleman present, and
said ''There he is," which assertion
occasicned considerable amusement. She
maintained at the same time her claim on
the stranger, who in the meantime had Sc
cured possession Of his hat aud was glad to
depart. The woman was retained Ia custody
at the barracks for safe keeping, and her
case will probably be referred TO the Ordi-
nary to-day.

stevens, The Actor, in more Trouble.


Mr. John A. Stevens, who recently gave
three performances in this city of I'm
known" and "Psssion's Slave" and whose
baggage was attached az the instance of Mr..
Harry Pearson, late member of his company,
on claim for 81, 600, as has been related in
these columns, had some trouble in Macon
on Wednesday. A few minutes before the
departure Of the Train from Macon for
Columbus, where the company were to play
Wednesday night, an attachment was served
by an officer on the baggage OF Mr.. Stevens.
The writ was issued on behalf OF Louis De
Give, proprietor Of the Opera House In At
lsnts, for rent. Il appears that Mr.. Stevens,
while acting as Agent for Rignold, the Eng
lish actor, secured a date with Manager De-
Give, giving his note for the amount of rent.
Rlguold did not play ia Atlanta, and the
rent was unpaid. Hence this proceeding
against Mr.. Stevens. Bond was promptly
given for double the amount due eighty
one dollars, aud the Stevens party had just
time TO reach the train before it started.

celebration will have done more than graft
