Con. Grnnt,s Thoroughness.

Washington Correspondence Of The Boston 7rdpellcr.
Ex-Postmaster General Creswell said re-
Gently, while speaking Of Gen. Grant: "He
is in many respects the most remarkable man
that have ever met. When was appointed
postmaster general l took great pains to look
up and study the laws laid down by congress
for the government Of the department, and
had them at my fingers ends. Then laid
out general policy which | thought would
finnish the best and most complete service to
the country. 1t was not until after some
weeks of delibaration that finally ventured
to lay the matter before President Grant for
his approval. Well, one day | was up at the
white house, and / made up my mind that
my plan was laid SO securely that there would
be no difficulty in procuring its adoption by
the president. l brought the matter to Gen.
Grants attention, and he told me to go ahead
and express my views freely and fully. He
was sitting in chair pulling away at cigar
as went over my plan patiently, until /
thought at last that was making myself tire
somc us tho president did not seem to be pay
ing me the attention which thought the sub.
ject deserved. l finished my story, however,
and he told me to call the next day and he
would give me his decision. The next day |
was at the white house at the appointed time,
and intensely to my surprise, the president
took up the points of my policy one by one
and discussed them with an amount of infor-
nation on the duties Of the postmaster gen.
eral which L had never dreamed of. He told
me that he agreed with tho policy as a whole,
but that there was some points on which he
did not hold the same views as those which
had advanced. Then he took them up and
exposed the flaws with so much hard common
sense that wondered why did not see the
defects myself before. At our first interview
thought that he was hardly paying me the
ordinary politcness which the occasion seemed
to demand, but the second visit assured me
that not only had he listened most intently
to what l had to say, but that he had devoured
every idea had advanced"

Small Talk About Men and Measure

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. 1t is the hog
eating races of men that are pre-eminent
They are wise in counsel and invincible in
action. II was the hog-eating Egyptian who
invented the first civilization and conquered
the whole world, from the desert coast to the
passes of the Himalayas. When the Egyp-
tian lost stomach for his ancient fare
he fell an easy prey to the
bacon-fed Persans and AIedes. The
Aryans, who swept down from the plateaus of
Iran to the plains of the Gangeg, fattened pigs
and eat them, and, Of course, drove out the
Dravidian peoples who cOntemned swine.
The Greek, tho pure Hellenes, nourished
their youth sublime upon chimes and mid
dlings and hams. They owed much to the
horse and the dog, but without the hog the
Amphyctionic league would never have been
formed and mankind have lost the
Parthenon and the Apollo, Homer loved a
spare rib, Phidias delighted in ohitter-
lings, aud Eschylus wrote with a
stylus in one hand, and ham
sandwich in the other. They were hog-eating
Greeks who subverted the Persian empire,
where the pig had fallen into disfavOr. When
the Greeks became luxurious and lost both
wisdom aud taste, they gave up the hog and
were conquered by the Romans. These VIC
tors of the world were pre-eminently hog
eaters, and so long as they stuck to theiI
ancient diet they were invincible When
they abandoned the hog they fell an easy prey
to the swine-fed Germans. And SO long as the
latter stick to the pig so long will the Teutons
be the ruling race of the world, 1t was the

The usual drink in Ireland is, Of course,
