produce an entertainment worthy of the
Endorsement and encouragement of the
public. The ladies and gentlemen are
commended for their laudable efforts, and

TWELVE TIMES ACROSS THE SEA.

While Boardman and Pilmoor were upon
the deep, battling with its storms, Whitfield,
on his thirteenth passage, was brayely strug-
CLING with the same tempests. 1t was
his last visit to America. The great field
preacher came here to die. Never more were
his eyes to behold the white cliffs Of Dover;
never more was his eloquent voice to be
heard on MOorfelds or kensingtOn Common.
As Elijah had premOnitlOns of his translation,
so Whitfield had premOnitOns of his death.
And as Elijah went to the scene of his trans
latiOn from Bethel and Jericho. so Whitfield
went from Bethesda to the place OF his final
departure from earth, and upon his arrival
in America he went at once to Bethesda.
While there, on the evening OF his departure
northward, he joyfully prayed, ''This will be
a joyful year for me at the day OF judg
ment." Leaving his beloved Bethesda
forever, Whitfield set forth on his
last preaching tour. His last sermon
was from the top of a hogsnead at Exeter
His last eXhOTtatlOn, while holding candle
in his hand, was from the stairway that led to
his chamber in a house at NewburypOrt. That
night he died, and thus on Sept. 80, 100, Whit
field passed from earth. All that is mortal
OF the great Methodist rests in the church at
Newburyport.
At the age Of 26 Francis Asbury, on Sept. 4.
177l, without a penny, went to Bristol to en-
bark for America. On the voyage two blank
cts on hard boards served for his bed and yet
he did not complain. When ne arrived IN
America he was much pleased with the
preachers and people, but there was one thing
which distressed him. He was thorough l. =
inerant, and the majority OF preachers were
not, and many Of the people were
disposed TO have settled pastor
ate. Boardman and PilmOor preferred the
cities; others preferred from their
country farms to travel the circuits Asbury
determined to break mp this, if possible, by
his own example. Bus what could he do?
Boardman was superintendent; Asbury was
under his direction; and BOardman, inclined
to settle in n city charge. could not direct 9TH
ers to do what he himself was unwilling to do,
The young missionary sets his face like flint
m ~nN H., h1Hf

GENERAL GRANTS LOSSES.
What George w. ChiIds has to Say on the
Subject.

In an interview with the correspondent
of the World on the subject of the re-
cent failure of Grant & Ward, of New
York, Mr.. George W. Childs said:
General Grant put into the business
for his son $4,000. knew all about
that and / think no man knows more
about the Generals business than my
self did not know that he had become
IL general partner and / don't think any
of his friends did, for he never told me
that he had entered the firm"
cit is said that the General has made
an assignment of house he owns in
Philadelphia. Was it held in his name ?''
General Grant held that house in his
own name, and of course they could
attach it. The dwelling was presented
to him shortly after the close of the war
by number of Philadelphia gentlemen
Mr. George FL. Stuart was active in max
ing the presentation of the house. The
General also owned house in Galena,
ILL.,, and a farm, all of which could be
attached. He held in his name about
5000, 000 worth of property"
cit is reported that Mrs. Grant has
assigned all the property she held in her
name"
elf she has done 50 I think she is
very foolish, for it makes but drop in
the bucket. She held in her name the
house in New York and the cottage at
Long Branch, and they could not have
been attached
cit is said that the General is COM
pletely ruined; is that true ?"
Gas told you, about 100000 is held
in trust for him which cannot be reached.
1t is perfectly safe and it will yield him
about SIS, coo year. The trustees will
pay him the interest.
How do you account for General
Grant getting so terribly involved?'
"Well, you see they managed to get
him in the firm as a general partner,
and finally they induced him to indorse
notes. The General knows nothing
about business, and his son knew but
little of what was going on. The son
had an office in a room in the upper part
of the building where he attended to his
law business, and Ward was left to run
the banking affairs on the first floor of
the building. The trouble has been
brought about through Fish & Ward.
Fish got to be director of the Erie
Railroad and had all the banking bust
ness done through the firm of Grant &
Ward, and Fish became a member of
the firm. Fish e Ward really did the
business.

Judah p. Benjamin's Domestic Life.

There were some exceedingly curious
and interesting incidents in the domestic
life of the late Judah P. Benjamin He
married early in life a very beautiful wo-
man. She did something that offended
the society of New Orleans. Mr.. Ben
jamin was much devoted to her, and it
wounded him keenly. He spent years
and a vast amount of trouble and money
to win back for her her place in society,
but he never succeeded. Once he gave a
grand bail in New Orleans; all the men
invited came, and not a single woman:
That crushed his hopes then. When he
was elected to the Senate he brought his
wife to Washington and set up mag
nihcent establishment. The old grudge
against his wife was remembered, and
he again found himself obliged to go in
society without his wife or to remain in
seclusion. He sold his splendid house
hold effects at a great loss, gave up his
house, and said despondently to friend.
81 am bankrupt in heart, purse, and
reputation" His wife then went to
Paris where he supported her in
splendor and visited her often. His own
tastes were of the simplest kind and his
personal expenses hardly a 1.-THE of his

clients, and often pescribed with a relish
his plan of making fee. "First," he
said, 81 charge a retainer, then 1 charge
a reminder, next [ charge a refresher,
and then 1 charge a fnisher." He was
exceedingly liberal, and had no love of
money for moneys sake. His law Office
in London was the darkest and dingiest
Granny imaginable. There were two
rooms, one tolerably comfortable, which
was occupied by his clerks, and the
other absolutely meagre, occupied by
the great jurist himself. 1t was fav-
orite resort of Southerners, and pill
grimage to the shabby little law Office
was religiously performed by nearly
every Southerner who visited London.

MISPLACED SYMPATHY.
Not So Sorry for a Convict When TheS
Heard His Record.

A few days ago a Detroiter and his
wife were making a trip through the
State Prison at jackson, and both were
much impressed with the countenance
of certain convict in one of the shops.
He looked so melancholy and down
hearted that the lady's sympathles were
strongly aroused, and the gentleman
was certain that he could discover
evidences that the man had a great deal
of moral worth in his character. One
of the guards was appealed to for 1ntor-
nation, and he replied:
Eyes, he is very well behaved-one OF
the best in the prison. ..
'He seems sorry for his offence,
observed the lady.
"Yes'm."
"And I know he would be honest if
pardoned," added the man.
"Yes'r. You might speak to the Gov
ernOr. I believe the offence was q
trifing one."
