work Mr.. Lincoln displayed remarkable
tact. He did not badger The witnesses or

Tragic story Of an ABuser OF Gen.
Grant.
From the Nelo YORK. Eventno Pest.


From, the Neao York Eueninq Post.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-There has been
but one newspaper in the South, so far as
has been observed here, which has spoken
i'll Of Gen. Grant since his death, and has
taken occasion Of that event to attempt 10
revive war memories, using his grave for
a rlhe-pit. That paper was published in
Raleigh, y. G.. The editorial has been
copied in most of the Republican papers
OF the North, with the comment that its
appearance is discOuraging sign of the
times.
gentleman swho reached here from
North Carolina today tells a curious
story about the writer and his tragic end
The ink upon the paper which contained
this article was scarcely dry, and the
edition of the paper had not been deliy-
cred at the Post Office, when the editor OF
the paper who wrote the article
fell dead. The editor was convicted as a
ku-kluX, and sentenced to ten years al
the Albany peniteutiary. The evidence
in his trial showed that he was the leader
Of the ku.kluX in his section, and had
been guilty OF atrociously maltreatng a
Republican memberofthe 10 legislature from
his district, who, as the result OF whip
ping and other abuse, was very badly
crippled, The editor remained In the
Albany penitentiary four years, when a
petition for his pardon, generally
signed IN his locality, was presented to
President Grant by the very Republican
for the allure OF whom ne was serving
sentence. The President granted the
pardon. The man returned to his home
has been i'm politics since, but has COM
mitted no conspicuous act uutil he made
the recent assault upon the memory OF
Gen. Grant, which was SO quickly fol-
lowed by his own death.

A CONFEDERATE In OANlP.
Gen. Henderson Preaching to the Meth
Odists at PitmRn - rove.

From the PhNrdelDdja Times.
Gen. II. Henderson, of Jersey City,
made bis first appearance at Pitman
Grove yesterday morning. Everybody
had been on the watch for the Confederate
general and preacher, and when at the
regular morning service, an easy-man-
nered, well-dressed, wiry-looking little
man of about 80. with hair and eyes black
as Jet and face clean-shaven, but marked
with lines OF care and thought. stepped
up to the desk and opened the Bible
at the fourteenth chapter OF John,
pin, if it had been dropped on
something harder than beaten straw,
could have been heard, though the audi
ence numbered several thousand. Gen.
Henderson took for his theme the father
hood of Gcd, developing the subject from
the text: "Philip said unto Him, Lord,
show us the Father and it sutficeth US"
The sermon was full OF thought and
abounded IN apt illustrations. A remark
ab 'e vision in the shape of dream Of his
fathers death "A day before it occurred,
and when he was but years of age,
brought tears to the eyes of hundreds.
An old lady who declared she came
from ''away over by East Greek to tell
the story" related how she had been

said another of the same national per-
suasion; 81 can add my mite to that and
say taat instead Of getting angry easily
now the fountains of my heart are more
easily broken up
The General excited the risibles Of the
audience by the assertion that the records
OF mis- genealogy were to be found in the
Garden OF Paradise, rather than in the
geological garden, aud that no matter
how assiduously others might labor to
prove the pol wOg their ancient mother,
be claimed maternal relationship with the
Holy Spirit OF God.

Germany as a Naval Power.

Germany's growth as a naval power
Of Importance dates solely within the
last ten years. During the Danish
campaign Germany could only COM
mand seven war vessels and fifteen gun
boats; yet, though reorganization was
warmly discussed, little was actually
done in the matter until the Reichstag
voted the necessary funds in 1878: Now
the German war-fee musters fourteen
fine ironclads, twenty-one corvettes,
fourteen armored and ten ordinary gun
boats, sixteen torpedo vessels, eight
dispatch boats and seven steam and
four sailing transports. Further, thirty
Eve vessels, ranging from monitors to
torpedoes, are on the stocks. The
The chief naval port. Wilhelmshayen,
has sprung up in an equally recent
period. Thirty years since Wilhelms-
haven was tiny hamlet, containing
few farms, in the midst of barren
tract of ground, and even now the diff

tanning building of any pretension. the
Adalbert Strasse, where the govern
ment and naval officers i've. The naval

A Dog for Supper.
Fort Keogh Letter in Pittsburg Commercial

Fort Keogh Letter in Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette.
Once let Cheyenne Indian get hold
of dog for cooking purposes, and he is
fixed for a week. I took peep into
the lodge of Iron Shirt, and there lay q
fine dog before the Goals, nice and brown
to turn, all ready for supper. 1t is
curious and strange fact that the North
American Indian of all tribes will turn
away from the beef, venison or buffalo
hump, if he can be sure of getting dog
instead; and many of the tribes raise
colonies of dogs for the same purpose
as we do beeves. AS there were no
dogs in camp I inquired of Rowland
how it happened that Iron Shirt was so
fortunate in securing one. Rowland
questioned that brave on the subject
and I learned that party of English
tourists had paid visit to the camp a
few days previous, out of curiosity, and
that the dog was theirs. From the
moment the doomed canine entered the
Indian village Iron Shirt had kept his
covetous eyes glued upon the animal
until watching his cAa1fce he secured
the prize and spirited it out of sight
until the Englishmen had taken their
departure. The dog was Gordon set
ter and had been brought along by the
tourists for hunting purposes. Iron
Shirt did not consider his action in the
case wrong or improper, as stealing is
looked upon as a virtue rather than
crime by all red men, and that is~why~
the Cheyennes happened to have dog
for supper on this particular evening.

Monument was begun Great Britain
possessed five times the wealth owned
by the United States, and while the
wealth of the former country has only
doubled within the past four decades,
that of the latter has increased twelve
fold. As to the constituent factors of
American progress in their aggregate
in the four decades they are sufficient
to buy up the whole Austrian Empire

gregate. value of the 'effete" monarchies

A South Carolina girl has written q
long paper to the Southern Planter
on the subject of employment for
Southern women who are thrown upon
their own resources. She shows that
during the war, when the men were ell
in the army, women harvested the crops
and took care of the farms and stock IN
North Georgia, and she holds that
while heavy farm work may not be
suitable for them, they can raise poul-
try, fruits and flowers, take care of bees
and attend to dairy work, all with prof.
it as locality happens to favor. Most of
the employments open to women at the
North are not available at the South,
but as attention is beizg called to the
subject new fields of labor are found, and
Southern women are beginning to
evince as strong desire to be self
supporting as are those of any other
quarter or nation.

mission, having given the subject care
full investigation reports that there will
not be coal famine for two or three
centuries. But coal cannot be mined
1000 thousand feet below the surface,
on account of heat, and the investiga-
tion of Stanley Jevons, the noted scien-
tist, have led him to the conclusion
that all the coal within 1000 feet will
he exhausted in 100 years. A recent
issue of Nature, q scientific publication
of high authority, presented statistics
of the coal supply and the rate of con-
sumption which confirm the opinion ex-
pressed by Mr.. Jervons. A century is
brief period in the life of nation.
And of course the effect of the failing
production of the coal mines will be
felt years before the supply shall have
been wholly exhausted.

The reports of Consuls of the United
States on agricultural machinery in
their several districts, and the oppor.
tunities for the introduction of Ameri-
can-made machinery, are not, so far al
Western Europe is concerned, very en-
couraging. The superior quality and
finish of the American articles is every
where conceded, but the cost is against
them. Some few of the large landed pro-
prietorsin England, France, Germany
and Russia purchase and use them, es-
pecially reapers, mowers, drills and the
like, but the English make is preferred
in Germany, Russia, Holland and other
countries, because they are stronger
and more enduring and cost less.

James NJ. Swank, Secretary Of the
American Iron and Steel association,
says that "there is very hopeful feel
ing in the iron trade, based mainly on
the prospect Of the continuance of the
active consumption that characterized
last year. The feeling is general that
prices for all iron and steel products
have reached bottom, and no apprehen.
sion is entertained of lower prices than
cow prevail. Whatever changes may
take place in the coming year will be
for the better and not for the worse.
