GENERAL GRANTS FIRST FIGHT IN 1861
As soon as the enemy saw us they de-
camped as fast as their horses would carry
them. I kept my men in the ranks and
forbade their entering any of the deserted
houses, or taking anything from them.
Harris had been encamped in z creek bot
tom for the sake of being near water. The
hills on either side of the creek extend to a
considerable hight, possibly more than one
hundred feet. As we approached the brow
OF the hill from which it was expected we
could see Harris camp, and possibly find
his men ready formed to meet US. my heart
kept getting higher and higher, until it felt
10 me as though ii was in my throat. |
would have given anything to have been
back in Illinois, but | had not the moral
courage 10 halt and consider what to do :
| kept right on. When we reached a point
from which the valley below was in full
view l halted. The place where Harris
had been encamped few days before was
still there, and the marks Of a recent en-
campment were plainly visible, bat the
troops were gone. My heart resumed its
place. Il occurred to me at once that Har-
RS had been as much afraid Of me as had
been OF him. This was q view Of the cues
ton had never taken before bur it was
one l never forgot afterward From that
event to the close of the war ! never expe-
rienced trepidation upon confronting an
enemy.--From Grants new book.

BAGGY TROUsERs-There never has vet
lived tailor who could make trousers that
would not bag at the knee. A news
paper correspondent wrote from London
some time since that an inventive English
man had made and patented an article for
the relief Of bagging" trousers" The
article was described, but that IS the last
that the writer has heard concerning If.
The only way to keep trousers in shape is
by weekly visit 70 the tailor and a suisse
quent application of hot irons. Ex-Presi-
dent Arthur is said to be the only living
man who does not bag AT the knees. In
vlew OF the fact that he was known as the
President of many pants, having some
thing ike fifty pairs, this is not strange. 4
fortune awaits the man who viii carry out
the Buushers invention, and put a like
article on the market. Now that the sub
ject Of trousers has been introduced. it may
be IN good form to see how they are made
this season. The world is slowly but
surely getting back to the old stvle OF large
pantaloOns. The legs are a tribe larger
this year than last, and are cut straight
throughout their entire length The bot
toms hang neatly on the instep. The
seams may be plain or with a welt. The
trousers made from rough goods are larger
than when cut from other varieties. The
legs of tull-dress trousers are smaller than
those Of any other kind Globe-Democrat.

Is THE OBELIsK BREAKING UP?-GrouTs
OF visitors gather every day about the ODE
lisk IN Central Park to pick up the frag-
ments that fall from it and keep them as
souvenirs. These fragments are continue
ally sealing off, owing to the action of the
weather. They are small scales of granite
from the size Of cherry pit to that of a
plum pit, and rather thin Professor Dore-
mus, who is now in Europe, has kept a
record of his observations of the obaiisk.
and has advised the coating Of it with par
atfine to prevent its disintegration. At a
meeting Of civil engineers in MARYLAND.
Professor EglestOn confirmed these state
ments. He said that it was owing to the
stone having been brought from a dry to a
moist climate, and that unless it was re-
moved TO some place of shelter, in fifteen
years it would be decomposed beyond re-
pair. The people are all the time picking
up pieces Of the obelisk" said one OF the
Park policeman to i reporter who inquired,
but there's plenty of the pieces and
enough to give every one a show It will
take a long time, guess, for the whole
stone to break up. New York Tribune.

DIVING FOR CORAL.

then there is a little wind a-blowin' and
you can see the bottom in forty foot. In
the winter we use boat with a glass bot
tom, so we can set and drift along and look
down through. and when we see ANYTHING
git over for it.
There are half a dozen kinds of coral
that are common, and mostly they grow
apart and in certain places. What we call
branch coral is found all over the flats
where there is sandy bottom, growing kind

with spines six inches long. The coral is
covered with fishes of all llinds-parrots

After practice you can stay down three
or four minutes, and by swimming along
with your eyes open you can get a good
look at the lot, and then try and break Off
q branch with a boat-ho0k of iron. Some
times we have to go down for or five times
TO get piece; then, if its big, put rope
around it and haul it up. Most Of the small
coral can be picked up with a hook that
looks ike pair OF oyster hooks, but it's

for mortar and brick to set. The founda-
ton is of concrete Portland cement cover
ing the whole area of sixteen feet. The sur
face to the level of the ground is built Of
common brick. The sides above the ground
for three feet are laid up on the face with
Philadelphia and black brick, set in black

The arch or top of the vault is also made
of common brick and covered with asphalt,
the inside Of the vault being lined with
white enameled brick. The whole of the
brick is set in Portland cement. The vault
will be surmounted by granite keystone
