Grant at Fort DoneIson,

Gen. Lew Wallace, in December Century.
There were attendant upon that occasion some
officers of great subsequent notabiity. OF these
Ulysses S. Grant was first. The world knows
him now; then his fame was all before him. A
singularity of the volunteer service in that day
was that nobody took account of even first
rate record in the Mexican war. The battle of
Belmont, though indceisive, was a much better
reference. - A story abroad that Grant had
been the last man TO take boat at the end of that
affair, and the addendum that he had fingered
in face of the enemy until he was hauled
aboard with the last gang plank, did him great
good. From the first his silence was remarkable.
He knew how to keep his temper In battle, as
in camp, he went about quietly, speaking in q
conversational tone; yet he appeared to see
everything that went on, and was always intent
on business. He had faithful assistant ad-
jutant-general, and appreciated HIM; he pre-
ferred, however his own eyes, word and hand.
His aides were little more than messengers In
dress he was plain, even negligent; in partial
amendment of that his horse was always a
good one and well kept. At the couucil-Calling

KILLING AN ALLIGATOR.
Adventure of Pennsylvania Young Lady
in an Arkansas Swamp

LITTLE Rock Ark, Nov. 24.-The monster
alligator which has inhabited the swamps near
fuckers lake, Jefferson county, is no more.
For many years it ruled supreme for a radius of
several miles around its marshy home. The
community avoided the swampy lair and terror
and dismay overcame those that were compelled
to venture near. 1t remained for Miss Dottie L.
Steck, of Bellwood, Pa, to remove this incum-
brance, which she did with a dexterty that
would cause the ordinary female heart to shud-
der The young lady, who is visiting relatives
in that county. whose residence is near the lake,
upon hearing the alligator story determined to
capture the thing. Being accustomed to adven-
lures at her home in the Alleghenies, she
laughed at the idea of serious results, and in
company with two young ladies and several
gentlemen, set out to accomplish her purpose.
The party soon struck the trail and tracked the
alligator to his den. A hole in the sandy bank
indicated the location, and a few min
utes' digging revealed the object of the
search, and the ominous growls and furious lash
ings that arose from the spot informed the ad
venturers that the king of reptiles was within.
The egress from the den TO the lake having been
securely stopped up the enraged beast found its
avenue of escape cut off, and rushed up and
down its bed, utteIing wicked growls, furiously
lashiug the mud, and scattered the water in all
directions. Pieces of timber and fence rails
were pushed into its mouth, only to be crushed
and snapped off BIZ its popderous jaws. A rope
and chain, made into lasso, was thrown over
the brute's head. Then ne was suddenly jerked
to the bank The appearance of the monster in
the midst of the venturesome party created a
panic, and all save the heroine beat hasty re-
treat, selecting the further side of friendly oak
as place of safety. With gun in hand the
young lady stood within few feet of the now
thoroughly enraged beast, which was growing,
struggling and slashinp its tail on the ground in
a frightful manner, and when the opportunity
presented itself she fred both barrels in rapid
succession. The aim did its work The alligator
gave tremendous lurches and roars and expired.
Both shots had entered one of the few pene
trable places, at the base of the jaw. 1t meas
ured fraction over ten feet in length The
hide was removed, and is in the possession of
Miss Steck.

A NEW BUNKO TRICK.
A New York Farmer Sixty-Five Years Old
Swindled Out of So, $50.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Nov. 24-W. Carter,
sixty five years old, resident of the town of
Brighton, east of this city, was victmized to the
extent of s. $50 to-day A few days ago a
sharper having in some unknown way learned
that he had money deposited in an East-side
savings bank, went to him and represented that
the institution was unsound and that if he did
not draw his money out he would lose it, AS
Carter paid no attention to the warning at the
time, the sharper went to him second time and
finally persuaded him to take his money out of
the bank. This morning he came to the city
and did so.
The sharper met him coming out of the bank
and congratulated him upon his prudence.
Carter, much elated at having recovered his
money, was profuse IN his expression of
thanks to his unknown friend who
proposed that they should go to the
and try their luck The old man accompanied
the sharper to house on Lancaster street, oe-
cupied by Mrs. A. J. Brown, respectable young
woman, and entering the front room found
young man seated at a table with pack of
cards in his hand. After preliminary CONVEX
sation, during which the lottery scheme was ex-
planned, Carter was induced to invest few dol
lars.
OF course he was successful and finally won
$1,000. Then he put up all his money drawn
from the bank and of course he lost The
sharpers then picked up their cards and money
and left the house, followed by Carter who de-
manded his money back They succeeded in
escaping from him, and have not been seen or
heard of since. Instead of reporting the matter,
Carter wandered about the streets till late in
the afternoon looking for the snarpers but
failing, he at last notified the police of his loss
Mrs Brown says that she never saw the men
before this morning, when they went to her
house and representing themselves as Western
land-dealers and hired her front room for two
hours for seventy-five cents.

THE NEW YORK PosroFF1CE.
Postmaster Pearson's Statement About the
Carriers and Their Votes.
New York Special.


Carriers and Their Votes.
New York Special
Questioned about the dispatches sent out rela-
tive to the New York postofce being kept open
election day, thus depriving several employees of
their opportunity to vote Postmaster Pearson
said in substance to-day:
"It has always been customary in this Office to
close election day, under the legal holiday sched-
uie, and to attend to necessary matters with the
usual holiday force The postmaster has al
ways believed that he had a right to use his own
discretion in managing his business, guided first
and always, of course by public convenience.
Carriers have always been kept in the Office to
give business men their mail if they call for it,
By sending to their places of business when
closed they cannot get it when they do call,
because the carriers have the mail out on their
routes. The postmaster usually knows best
how to accommodate the largest number, and
should be allowed to arrange his work according
to his best judgement. Following the usual
course / caused notices to be posted announcing
that the office would be election day with
the usual holiday force. There was no necessity
for all the men being here, and l thought it only
fair to give those who had been working over
time during the campaign rush of matter, an
opportunity to use the day as they saw fit
Nov. l saw in the papers press dispatch an
nouncing that the department had issued an
der that all the offices must be kept open cleo
ton day, and L at once teiegraphed
to Washington for official informa-
ton. The next day 1 received a
reply that under recent order of the depart
ment-I did not learn by whom OH what date
issued-th the postoffice must be kept open on all
days not otherwise specified either by national
legislation or by executive proclamation. Ac-
cordingly ordered the first notices issued taken
down. and Nov 3 sent out instructions to each
superintendent to so arrange his work that
every man should have an opportunity to vote
Subsequently order came from Washington
to that effect but l had anticipated it. | am
informed that this was done. Every man who
desired to cast vote and was entitled to do so
had an opportunity given him. Whether any
men failed to avail themselves of it, of course [
can't saw

Monday.l.

New York Herald.
Mrs. Victoria Schelline, nee Morosini, was
mad" yesterday. very mad about the story that
got around about an effort on her part to bull
doze her father into paying $25, 900 to keep her
off the concert stage.
There is not one word of truth in the story"
she said. I'VE were always very shy of the
person whose name appears in them He made
extravagant promises that did not impose on us.
The only money we ever had from him was u
small loan which has been repaid We do not
owe him a cent. Furthermore, that part of the
story which says | got any one to make over
lures to my father is unquaifedly false"
Mr.. Giovanni p Morosni emphatically denies
that he has concerned himself in any way about
his daughters appearance before the public.
although he says persons pretending to repre-
sent her have tried unsuccessfully to communi-
cate with ooth Mr.. Morosini and his wife
at would have made no difference to me-" he
said whom my daughter married if ! were sat
lsfed that the man was good and a fit compan-
ion. If this man whom she has married was
man of character he would work for his wife in
stead of having her work for him / have moth
ing TO do with my daughters affairs, and do not
intend to have She has selected her lotin life and
must abide by the results. 1t is evident that
the coachman does not propose to support her.
Under no circumstances would pay one penny
to separate them, and | shall not interfere with
them in any way"

ALTERATION.

Twas in the Roman forum
When orators held sway.
The charming art of rhetoric
Was taught from day TO day.
Then Spenser, in his Faery Queen,
And polished Pope and Gray,
All sung ALTERATION
To steal the heart away.
Strange that figure eloquent,
Used but to charm the hour,
Should in single moment
Trans fer a nation powerl
Rum, RoInanism, RebelGonl'
A reverend booty cried.
And on the wings of lightning
1t sped to every side.
This false ALTERATION
Was sounded far and near,
Till rebels, sots and bigots
Each syllable could hear.
Then cunning Conkling, cougar crouched
To spring upon his prey,
AND artful Arthur, sulking,
Had not one word to say.
Now shout, ye Rhetoricians,
And tell it DER again;
Bold Beecher, BOBBY Burchard,
Like brutes, have butchered Blaine!''
