persons waiting to see him. These are
soon scattered, and it is lunch time, SO
over to Delmonico's he goes for a
brace Of chops; then makes trip to the
Mercantile Trust company, where yet
another string of questions must be
decided.
And SO it goes all day long. He
gives orders to buy and sell thousands
OF shares of stock, settles questions of
policy connected with the railroads
which he controls, fixes dividends, wa
tiers stocks, and thinks and acts on a
thousand different topics. Yet he does
not do any of the routine or manual
labor. He tells others what to do. He
is not member Of the stock-excha hange,
and consequently has never been with
in its walls. He keeps from five to fif-
teen men busy all day writing letters
or carrying out his instructions. At
o'clock he steps out TO the elevated
road station and goes back to his home
on Fifth Avenue. Here he has a pri-
vate telegraph wire and operator, and
he can yet communicate with the
world.
Whatever OF private business he does
Is transacted ut home before the dinner
hour. After dinner he gives his entire
time TO his family. They do not 60 out
much, and they do not receive many
callers. But a jollier, happier family
Is not to be found in the city. There

ESCAPE OF BRAINERD.

Lawrence Brainerd, whose capture
by force was announcnd last week,
escaped from the Boston detectives,
on Thursday, while in the depot at
Minneapolis. Really he was stolen
by another set of detectives employ
ed by lawyers who had been engaged
by Brainerd's friends. The Boston
detectives were engaged at the mo-
ment in providing tickets to take
their captive to ST. Adams, and at
this instant Brainerd was approached
by the other detectives, but unknown
to himself. They told Brainerd who
they were and urged him to immedi-
ately leave the depot with them.
Brainerd hesitated, but finally said
eff you are really my friends take
me by force Thereupon they
seized and hustled him out of the
depot into carriage conveniently at
hand for that purpose, and drove off
with him at full speed. The Boston
detectives returned from the ticket
office and were of course astonished
to find their game gone. 1t was
rather a cute affair, and flint against
flint. The Brainerd detectives took
their "prisoner" about ten miles
into the country and it is supposed
he is now again at Winnipeg, and
thus ends this lesson.

"Better not attempt to get out
again and wave that bloody shirt
which Grant so carefully folded and
put away" This is the remark of a
paper in Massachusetts that profess
es to support republican principles.
SO far as waving the "bloody shirt"
and perpetuating war issues are con-
cerned, no republican has dissented
from any utterance of General Grant
on the subject. But the evident drift
of the remark above quoted is to re-
buke Senator Sherman and other re-
publicans for insisting that it is an
injustice to every citizen of every
other state that thirty-eight presiden-
tial electors are elected by the bour-
bon democrats by practical denial
of the right of free suffrage. 1t is
gross insult to the memory of Gen.
Grant to claim that he was ever dis
posed to palliate or condone the in
iuuitous electoral methods of the
southern bourbons. Any person OIL
