would long ere this have repaired the damage. Again, we all knew he had been oyertaken by financial hurricane, blizzard, cyclone, so very common in New York, the result of false system of finance, but no soldier ever believed that General Grant personally was in the remotest degree responsible or censura- ble. Rather, we hoped all the more that he would enable us by his presence to manifest for him the intense love and re- spect he had won upon the battle field, which will survive long after Wall street shall cease to be held synonymous with gambling in gold and credit" The speaker then expressed hope that Gen eral Grants bodily affliction would soon pass away and that the clouds which now lower over his house might in the deep. bosom of ocean be buried.

THE ARMY OF TENNESSEE.
General ShermRn's Eloquent EuIOGy of Ex-
 President Grant.

The members of the Army of Tennes- see assembled at Lake Minnetonka, Minn., and were called to order by Gen. eral Sherman, who read a brief letter from General Grant, expressing regret that his health would not allow him to be present. General Sherman, before reading the letter, said;
 Nineteen years after the close of the war we have reason to be thankful that so many survive in health and strength to assemble in accordance with promise made in 1865 at Raleigh, to keep alive the cordial ties of friendship which bound us together during the war. Brilliant as is the history of the deeds done in the war by the Army of Tennes- see, we believe our fellow-citizens will concede to us equal honor for pure, un- alloyed patriotism and generous actions during the intervening years of peace. Before proceeding to business, deem it proper to explain the cause of the I change of programme.
 "At our last meeting General Grant was chosen orator. He accepted, and all arrangements were made for his pres ence. We all know that in December last he sustained bad fall, but we had hoped that his vigorous constitution

WHAT SCHLEY HAS DONE.
He Knew where Greedy was and went Di-
 rect 10 the Spot.

A Washington correspondent says: I heard a man ask what Schley had done to earn the honors that were be- ing thrust upon him. This has he done:
 When a board of army and navy ofii- cers met to consider the best means of Greely's rescue, Schley was selected as the best man to conduct the search. There were scorce of theories and two score of plans advanced. One said, "Greely must be here;" another said, 'You will find him there." A third in- sisted that he must have gone in this di- rection, and fourth that he took an- other course. Schley studied Greely's plans, made a thorough search of all the records of Arctic exploration, and then in a report to the Secretary of the Navy said: of Greedy is alive, he is between this point and that. If he is dead, hi' body will be found somewhere on lin'

A Cool Horse Thief.

"Where are you going with those horses?" Policeman Sturges asked a man whom he met on Nelson avenue, Jersey City, leading a pair of handsome bays.
 "I'm going to Newark" the stranger answered.
 "Well, think I'll have to take you to the station," said the policeman.
 'I wish you would," replied the man. "I've been already stopped by two policemen, and I'm beginning to be tired of that sort of thing. Just hold one of these horses until mount the other and I'll go with you"
 Sturges held one of the animals while his prisoner jumped upon the back of the other and instantly galloped of. Sturges fired at him, but the thief escaped.

THE THREE MAIDS.

Three maids went forth the lovely world to
 see; Three maids. their names Faith, Hope and
 Charity; Each with her separate mission to unfold, Apart, yet one, happy band behold. Three maids went wand'ring OCT the weary
 earth, Seeking to give mankind nobler worth. Naught would they take; to give was their
 intent, Riches beyond the world in their extent. Three maids returned; footsore, and faint
 and sad. Heavy at heart where erst they had been glad For all their gifts in this great world of sin, Few would accept, and none would take
 them in. -Ttnlple Bar.
