How Grant Went to West Point.

A Columbus letter to the Cincinnati Conn.,
mercsM relates the following story, an the al
legged authority of a Republican e~x-Congress-
man of that State, who says that Grant told
it to him just before his first nomination for
the Presidency
"When I was a boy" said Grant, ''living
in Georgetown, my mother ran out of butter
one morning, and needing some before it
could be had q. the store, she sent me over
to the next-door neighbours to borrow some.
Well, 1 was just as we'll acquainted there as
/ was al home, almost, and opened the door
and went in without knocking, and lust as |
went in one of the folks, the old gentleman,
I believe, was reading a letter from a son
who was at West Point. Well, I didn't want
% disturb them while they were reading, and
stood there and heard what was read. We'll,
the son said In this letter that he had been
found-that is, he had failed to pass exam
ation-and he would have to come home, and
he had sent this letter one mail ahead, SO that
the surprise at his return would not be 80
great. / got the butter and took it home, and
rhen rushed down to Thomas l.. Hamar's
ofacc--he was our Congressman then-and |
asked him if he wouldn't send me to West
Point. He told me he couldn't send me until
the other boy got through, and that wouldn't
be for three years yet. But, Hamar,' said
l, suppose this boy should fail to pass exam
nation, and should be sent home, will you
send me, them We'll, Uly,' said he, I
guess if he can't pass there'd be no use of
your trying it. But / want you to promise
that you viii send me, said |. All right.
said he, If be cant get through ! promise to
let you try It, Well. during the day Hamar
heard about tue other fellow, and the next
I went and asked him It he had heard the

at me for the promise, he said il was all

Transmission and Storage OF Power

Since the discovery of the Faure battery,
in which electrical energy may be stored up,
the possibilities nave become much enlarged.
As yet, however, nothing much has been
done in this direction though no less IN au-
thority than Sir William Thompson consid-
ers it unquestionably possible to transmit the
power of waterfalls by means Of conducting
wires to distant stations, so as to use it, per-
maps, at 100 miles from its source. The at
tention which Faure's battery has recently
excited is likely to lead to valuable practical
results in this direction. Sir W. Thompson
suggests that by means of a huge battery
on this principle it would be possible to draw
a continuous supply of power from the cleo
trio main, and then to distribute it in small
and manageable quantities to factories or
shops or even private dwellings, where it
might be used to drive lathes, or to work
sewing machines OF to produce the electric
light or, in, fact. to perform any service of
which electricity is capable. 1t seems likely
that the storage of electricity will not only
open up a splendid future for the application
of this potent power, but will render it pos
| sible to utilize some of the natural sources of
energy which have hitherto been unmanage-
| able, and have consequently run on to waste.
In this way they may yet utilize the power
| of Niagara. We on this coast, could utilize
some of our mountain streams in this way.
Constant experiment is being made to thor
oughly perfect the system, the principle of
which M. Faure has proved to be p~ractica-
hle. -

A RedOutn's Fantastic Appearance
Strange KefracttOn OF Light.

a Bedouin riding past at full speed, carry
ing a long spear, was in sight for more than
an hour and half. He took all kinds of
fantastic shapes. and as regards the distance,
he was off at any moment the best range
finder ever invented conld not have localized
him. At one time he was split up into three,
with q space of something that looked like
q surface of shimmering water between each
part-the legs Of the camel dancing along
over the plain without any body attached to
them, and high over them the body of the
camel and rider flying through the air. and
above them again the tuft of feathers sur
mounting his spear, looking like a bird in
the air. v What added greatly to the
dreariness of this horrid waste was the total
absence of animal life not a fsh-jump ruff
fed the surface of the CLASSY lakes ; not
even the proverbial and familiar pelican of
the wilderness was to be seen by the side OF
them no wheeling ~vultures overhead ; even
the swarms of flies properly belonging to

our "inside passengers" were reduced to a
policy of ''masterly inactivity" for a time.
1t had come to this that when you asked a
man to do anything, he usually told you to
wall until he'd done scratching himself. The
carcasses of camels which we passed had
the flesh dried onto the bones as hard as
wood. / shall never forget one corpse
that of a Internationally quite undis-
tinguishable. The body had first distended
to about three times its original bulk, and
then dried in that form. / turned it over as
it lay on the sand, and it was SO light that l
could have lifted it with one hand. 1t made
a cracking and drumming noise as | moved

up hide of sole leather = y | arrived
at two conclusions with reference to that re-
gion. First, that the refraction of light by
the air was so remarkable that artillely
would be rendered practically ineffective.
Second, that l would never 60 a Sabbath's
days journey into it again until l could do i,
on a bicycle, and have relays of caravans
sent on loaded with lemon squashes.

Utah and N~evada-Tw0 Miners Tell
Their Stories.
rSalt Lake Tribune.]

[salt Lake Tribune.]
A few evenings since a couple of mining
men, both strangers to each other, met in
the reading room of the Walker House at
Salt Lake City, U. T. The conversation
turned on the mineral developments of the
west, and presently one of the men re-
marked
If you want to see mining on Q big scale
Just 90 to Southern Utah."
"How big ?" said the other quietly.
"Why, the Big Hole Mine, that | am con-
nected with, has the deepest shaft and the
biggest workings in the world.
How deep ?" said the little man.
'sYou can't measure it, because if we stop
ped work long enough to see how deep the
shaft was, it would materially interfere with
the bullion product. We dropped 9 line once
and reeled it out until it broke with it's W
weight. When a boy falls down that shaft
he strikes the bottom a grandfather.
'Must have a big pay roll 2
"We used TO send the money down to the
hands in cases until the workings got 80
deep that we didn't get the winter account
settled until way along in the spring. So we
started a bank and telegraph the money or
ders. That system saved US an awful wear
and tear on the cages. The miners live down
there and rear their families. They have
got an underground city bigger'n Salt Lake

election twice a year. They publish two

stranger.

there every year and have horse racing every
Saturday. finest four mile track in the
world, lit with electric light. No mud, no
dust, always in the same condition. Perfect
paradise for sports. What do you think of
that for a mlne?"
Here the stranger, who was q Californian,
threw his leg carelessly over the arm OF a
chair, and lighting a fresh cigar, replied in q
deep, earnest tone.
