Grant Obeying His own Orders.

Cleveland Enquirer.
Capt. John II, Steere, now nm inmate
of the Soldiers home, tells 3 gbcd story,
showing how he, when but lG years Of
age, made Gen. Grant obey his own
orders.
The occurrence took place in the early
stages of the war, shortly after Grant had
received his commission as hrIgadier gen.
eral, and was placed In command of the
military district of Missouri, with head
quarters at Cairo. John S;eere, then a
boy o little ever 16 years OF sgo, enlisted
and was ordered. with others, to report
st Cairo, which they did. Five days af-
ter tnlistlng they were drilled in march
ing and maneuVerlng without uniform or
AIMS. This WAS continued for several
dsye, when the nav recruits got o I'M
form and an old Hsrper's Ferry musket,
one Of those old affairs that every time
time the gun was discharged the ehooter
had to go hunting after the hammer of
his gun.
The morning utter young Steere got
his gun he was stationed at Gen Grant's
heac quarters 90 guard. The hasdquaT-
ters was located on the levee fronting the
Ohio river, near the junction Of the
Mississippi rlvar. 1t was in November,
aud the day was ecold end boistorous
one. Steere's military experience wac
very limited indeed, and the inc!ement
weather did not exactly suit him. His
orders were TO let no one except an
officer, or one on official business. emit r
the building. he stood at his post of
duty until chilled through and through,
when he set his musket up In n corner
of the door. leaning against the sill, and
himself close up againDt the building,
with the cape of his overcoat pulled up
over his cars to keep warm.
As every one who came near the place
seemed to be an offictr no molested no
one, deyoting all his time end attention
to keeping himself warm and comfortable.
Morpheus courted him, and he was on
the verge Of taking q pleasant snocze
when someone coming do6n the stairway
aroused him. Locking up he saw sn
officer bucklirg on an elegant sword
After passing through the door the
ofic came TO Il halt, and, locking at the
guard Indignantly, asked:
"Whst are you doing there2'
"I'm the guard" " replied Steere.
IAN excsllent guard, indeed. Do
you know whose headquarters this ia?'
"Yes, sir; Gen. Grants"
The officer looked at the guard a mo-
ment In silence, and then lie thun-
dsred
"Stand up there, cir, and bring your
gun to a shoulder"
Young Steere did as requested, bring
iug his gun to q shoulder like q squirrel

him and went through the manual of
arms for him. He remained with him
for fifteen or twenty minutes, until he
taught him to handle his gun, when he

SIKH WARD MATTERS.
Objections Raised to the Levee and Park
Bills

Bills.
Inc Sixth ward people are anxious to have
the leyee built, but want to know how 1t is to
be done before the work commences. When
the subject was first preached in the meeting
Of the Citizens union it was received with
favor and committees were appointed to pre-
sent the matter to the legislature The bill
submitted by the transfer people was found
too much like jug handle, and the matter
was referred TO City Attorney Murray. who
finally drew up bill, brief and to the point,
merely authorizing the city council to
contract with railroad CORPORATION
levee. 1t was agreed on both sides, as the
Sixtl-warders thought, to refer both bills to
the Ramsey county delegation. But a few
days ago the transfer com pany introduced a
third bill which went to lis first reading. The
more this bill is read by West st. Paul peo-
pie the more they don't like it. Several
points in IL are altogether too much
in favor of the transfer com pany,
which if it should pass would be allowed,
it is said, to use such streets as 1t choose to
take possession of most of the riparian rights
of the Sixth ward, and worst of all, possibly,
to cross Dakota avenue with track at grade,
very near the end OF the bridge. This last
would be very serious matter, for both
sides OF the river, as with the Robert street
bridge completed, it would practically cut off
passage over the present bridge and divert a
great deal Of trade from Wabasha
street. The meeting of last Friday
night appointed special committee, consist
ing of the committees on the levee and
on streets, to consider this matter. At a
subsequent meeting of this committee the
objections to the transfer company's bill
above noted were put forth, and also the
statement that the Sixth ward people wanted
an opportunity to discuss the plans for the
levee before they went into effect. The
only bill they would accept would be
one merely giving the city power
to contract for the work, leaving the details
for further consideration. 1t was stated that
if the bill should go through as at present
Offered, they would appeal to the United
States government to stop the work. Mr.
Lienau was present at the meeting. and
promised 10 arrange for meeting between
the committee and the Ramsey county dele
CATION to-day or Tomorrow.
THE PARK BILL.
The committee also labored with Mr.. Lie
nau to withdraw his bill providing for a tax
levy of $4,000 on Sixth ward property for
the purpose of purchasing parks and a mar
ket house. The objection to this measure is
that the Sixth ward is taxed for parks and
market house for other parts of the city, aud
it Is no more than fair that
the mprovements of this character for this
ward should come from the general funds.
While Mr.. Lienau thought that his plan
would be the most practicable one for secur-
ing the Improvements for his ward, he
yielded TO the committees opiuion and said
he would not press his bill.
The meetings of Sixth ward citizens,
called for tonight to discuss these matters,
have been abandoned.

Law no REGULATE PLUMBING.

The Pennsylvania legislature IL worthy OF
imitation In one respect at least. 1t has
passed bill to regulate plumbing, which
gives the board OF health power to regulate
the plumbing business with reference to
sanitation. The Philadelphia Times saws
that when the bill was before the house com
mittee on municipal corporations the com
mittee had before them drawings aud old
pipes 10 sliOS how deadly plumbing IS being
done even in the houses OF the rich, aud
there was evidence telling OF sickness and
death in consequence thereof.
Every state needs Just such law. There
Is perhaps more carelessness with worse ~
suits in the plumbing business than in
ans other branch Of mechanical trade In
each town aud city It Is matter OF so much
consequence to life snd health that the Law
should carefully regulate the business with
reference 70 sanitary conditions.

ST. PAUL'S TRADE.
What Our Wholesale and Retail Merchants
Have Been Doing the Past Week,

What Our Wholesale and Retail Merchants
Have Been Doing the Past Week.
During the past week satisfactory amount
of business has been transacted for the time
of year in spite of freight blockades and mai
delays.
In financial circles there has been some
what less activity than for the past few weeks,
and consequently the money market is
easier to certain extent Discount rates
remain firm at s to 10 per cent, and ex-
change on New York continues at slight
premium between the banks.
Real estate is unusually active for the sea
son, numbers Of important sales have oc-
Cured, and already there are eastern gentle
men on the gOund examining property pre-
paratory to purchasing, and large transac-
| tons are in prospect as spring opens.
The wholesale grocers have not been "a
vored with quite as large orders as usual, but
about the same amount of orders are steadily
coming in.
In wholesale dry goods, our houses have
their statesmen on the road soliciting spring
orders, with fair success. Collections are
reasonably good.
Drugs-COnsiderabl activity is manifested
in this line of trade and prices tending to
advance. Inquiry on spring orders fully
equals, il it does not exceed last season 5 in
dications at this time. Freight delays com.
plalned Of, but our largest houses carry such
heavy stocks that 1t takes a siege now TO eX-
hanst them. Demand for field seeds is al
ready good. Messrs. Noycs Brothers & Cut.
Ter have shipped some heavy lots of ginseng
and senega, they being the largest dealers in
the West in these goods.
The wholesale clothing houses are feeling
an improvement IN trade. Wheat having
gone up in price Of late, has induced the
farmer to sell, and consequently he feels
more able to improve his wardrobe. Collec
tons in this line are satisfactory.
good trade has been done in wholesale
hats aud caps, with collections good
A nice spring boot and shoe trade Is COM
mencing. The prices Of leather are firm,
and orders for same arc on the increase.
Business in heavy iron is very much better
than it was at this season last year, but col
lectioDs are slow.
good healthy demand for all hardware
staples continues. Nails have received a
further advance. Collections are not SO good
as they might be.
A fair amount of orders are being received
by the wine and liquor merchants, whose col
lectiOns come in fairly well
The commission merchants have had fair
week only, eggs and poultry being rather
high in price Just now.
The retail dealers have been quiet all the
week, and they do not expect business TO
mend until there is a break in the present
long spell Of intensely cold weather

Secretary st. Paul Chamber Of Commerce.

IT seems singular that WAsuINGToN's
birthday, following the dedica tion of the
monument to his memory, should be made
the occasion of such socialistic declarations
as were heard in Baltimore and Chicago YES
terday. These reckless people would destroy
the fabric which the great patriot founded.
While free speech should be fully recognized
and protected in this country. these great
privileges ought not to be abused by tolerat-
ing such gross abuses as the mouthings of
Herr MosT and the Chicago communes.
License should not be given to seditious ut
I rlnces, especially when directed against
the established order of things in this eoun-
try Such teachings can have but pernicious
influence in the end. The use of dynamite
openly advocated is an outrage on free
speech, because its tendency is to wreck
property and destroy innocent lives. Dy-
Mantle is not a reform measure recognized
by civilized nations as legitimate agency
