A few hours after the suspension of the
great Marine Bank OF New York, the firm
of Grant & Ward, of No. 2 Wall street,
closed its doors and suspended payment.
National interest in the latter failure ran
to high pitch when 1t became known
that General Grant and his entire family
OF three sons were hopelesslv involved and
the recklessncss an cupdity of the man
aging partner Ward. The f,st rumors
stated that the liabilities of the firm would
reach nearly II million dollars, and this
was considered heavy failarc when it
was known that the capital of the firm
did not reach over S5000J0. Consterna-
iioa reigned supreme when casual inves.
tigalion revealed that the Indebtedness oi
the concern approached the enormous sum
of fifteen million dollars! a pAnicky feel.

active partner, neither of the Grants taking
any purt in the conduct Of Its affairs
trusting the entire management to the
man who proved to be their Nemesis.
| An extended article could he written oi
the astounding transactions of Ward. In
brief, the manner IN which he conducted
the business of Grant & Ward was 10 rep
resent to investors that, through the per-
sonal influence of General Grant, the firm
controlled various government contracts
| whereby they could and were making
enormous profits. Heavy loans were thus
secured. For instance, a sreculalor would
loan the firm 100000 for six months upor
Il contract with them that $40 ,00n WAS to
be paid for the use of the principal, at the
expiration of the period. Ward would
pay the interest promptly out OF the prin-
cipal, and the speculator, believing that he
had discovered safe bonanza in mos,
cases would increase his loan to the frm
upon the same terms, and thus the mod,ts

There has no one thing undergone 70
much OF a change as that of the practice
OF medicine. Articles of food that under
the old regime were considered hurlful
are now regarded by our most skilliul
physicians as beneficial and patients are
directed to use them. Recently scientific
phvsician says; "In the morning there ia
an acrid state of the secretions. and moth.
ing is so well calculated 10 correct it as
peaches, apples, etc. The small seed fruits.
such as figs, blackberries, raspterries and
Strawberries, may be classed among the
best fruits and medicines. The sugar in
them is nutritious, the acid purifying and
the seeds laxative. We should look more
10 our gardens for our medicines and less
to our drug stores."
