Guarding General Grant.

A Washington correspondent OF the
New York Tribune tells this story
about General Grant:
A retired army officer who was on
General Grants personal staff during
the war, speaking the other day OF
General Badeau's article in the May
Century, said: "Badeau has made
one mistake. He says General Grant
was in danger OF assassination during
the last year of the war, while his
headquarters were at City Point, and
that his personal staff formed n plan
to protect him, one of them sitting up
every night as special guard. Now,
there wasn't one of his staff who
wouldn't have guarded General Grant
at the risk of his own life if necessary.
But there was no danger at City
Point. Nobody thought of it there.
There never was but one time and
place when We did think the pres
ence of our troops was not a sufficient
protection, or rthat we could add TO his
safety by making ourselves his per
sonal guard. That was at Culpeper
before going to the wilderness. The
rooms of the house we occupied were
so situated that General Grant s room
was somewhat isolated, and we
thought that in spite OF the guard out
sideit was possible for an enemy oget
to his room unobserved. We took in
the situation and decided to place q
sentry before General Grants door at
night, after he had retired. This was
done without saying anything to the
General, who himself had no fears and
had thought nothing about it.
"But he got even with us for keeping
him out of the secret The first morn
ing after the sentry had paced back and
| forth all night before his door, the
General did not come down to break
fast. 1t was upusualfor him to belate
| at breakfast, and after waiting some
time / said to Rawlings, What in the
mischief is keeping the old man i'll bed
so late?' After waiting some time
longer wegot rather fidgety, and think
it was Rawlings who finally said he'd
90 to the Generals room and see what
was the matter. Well, Rawlings went
up and found General Grant all dressed
and sitting quietly in his room.
"Why, General, breakfast has beer
ready some time, said Rawlings.
"'Well, replied Gen. Grant, witt
| perfect seriousness, "a sentry has beer
guarding my door all night, and | sup
posed | was under arrest. Now, what
have done to be placed under arrest
in this way?"
"Of course Gen Rawlings appreciat
ed the joke, and when they came dowr
together he pretended to be as seriou!
as the General who with dry humol
said: Gentlemen, I'm sorry to hav'
kept you waiting. But a sentry
has been pacing before my door al
night, and as | thought was under ar
rest / couldn't come down till releas
ed For an instant there was queer
puzzled look on every face, and ther
we all burst out laughing. He didn't
share our fears, but let us have oul
way. Every night while at Culpeppel
an armed sentry paced before Gen
Grants door, gunrding him while hi
slept"

Fun for the Railroad Company.

Something of Modern Greece.

From the Contemporary Review.
Greece, including the area ceded in
1881, comprises about $4,000 square
miles of territory, inhabited by about
100000 people. The population is
thus only about eighty to the square
mile. OF the total area one-half may
be treated as uncultivated, Though
much of it is capable of cultivation,)
consisting of pasture lands and noun
tains; one-seventh consists of forests,
while the balance, fve-fourteenths of
the whole, is cultivated. Tobacco, cot
ton, vines, cereals and olives form the
principal crops. There are no manu-
factures of any Importance, and the
prosperity of the country may there
fore be said to be wholly dependent
on .agriculture-that is, on the
fineness of the season and the
maintenance of the prince of produce.
Last year, for instance, the currant
crop, which is exported to an average
value of nearly 100000 was ruin
ed by excessive rain, and the actual
export is said to have been less than
the average by nearly one-haf. Olive
oil is exported to the average value oil
f25O, 900 and the only other exports
of Importance are wine, zinc and lead.
The average gross value of imports
and exports amount, roughly speaking,
to f4,OOO,OO0 and f2,OO0,OOO re-
spectively. Sixty-two per cent. OF this
whole population are engaged either ss
agriculture or in the care of flocks aES<
herds; but the inhabitants are too nr-
to extend the area of cultivation arc
too poor to make the m It even
of heland occupied. Thesoil, which If
rich in many parts, would easily sup
port double or treble the present mum
ber if the methods of agriculture wer,
improved and more capital put into th'
land. Between 1870 and 1879 th'
population increased at the rate o
1.69 per cent. per annum but the In
crease took place principally in tn
towns, and / understand that the in
crease in the interior has been signif
cant. Nor is it likely to be otherwis
until the means of internal communi
cation have been considerably aus
mented. 1t has been conclusivel
proved, if proof of such self-eviden
truth were needed, that given popU
lation mainly dependent on agricu
ture, nothing is so certain to improv
it's condition as the development {
roads and railways. But until til
last few years this axiom was unrecol
nized in Greece. There was only OF
line of railway-from the Piraus t
Athens-and roads were practical
non-existent. The tracks that di
duty for roads were in so execrable
condition that Edmond About d
clared, in his "Roi des Montagnes
that the brigrand had TO spend a po
of their plumber to maintain them,
as to render it at all possible for pc
pie to travel and be Ngtimized.

CHATTER V.

Again Bill called upon the professor.
81 don't understand it," SAID the lover.
81 know that l have improved, but
why cannot conquer him?"
''Ah, my dear man." the professor
replied, 'the hardest thing in this

Bill paid him and took up the finish

that the nose on the sand-bag was not
quite prominent enough, and with i'm
proved artistic skill, he drew a picture
that could not fail to represent his
enemy. Other tired men went to bed,
but Bill, persistent man, fought the
bag until the rooster shook himself
and declared that daylight had come.
Thinking that he was undoubtedly
capable of vanquishIng Dan, Bill sent
him challange. Dan replied as fol-
lows:

day of strife. Nothing gives me more
pleasure than to whip a friend. have
given you several opportunities, still,
you have not married my mother.
Why should you delay marriage

ent. but l must say that your laxity,
OF rather your weakness has astonish-
ed me. Why don't you go away
somewhere and submit yourself to
severe training. If wanted a woman
[ would be willing to fight for her."
Bill snorted when he read the note.
He rushed into his roo.o pode the nose
on the sandbag more prominent and
mauled the thing in frightful manner.
He was so successful that a buoyant
hope swelled within him.
| The day for the battle was appoint
ed. The news had spread, and people
from adjoining counties assembled.
The band had been materially
improved. A drum, made of two
sheep skins and a nail keg had
been added. Additional benches were
provided.
Everybody was in high state of ex-
element. Again young women smiled
on Dan. Again he was sure of sue
cess. Bill was dressed in flax. breeches
and hunting shirt. Dan was ap-
proprlately clad in yellow muslin
shirt and hemp overalls. The band
gave grand burst; women clapped
their hands and the combatants took
ttheir places. The capering was beau
tiful. Bill knocked Dan down. The
defender of his mothers widowhOOd
arose, but was again knocked down.
The people cheered Justify. Bill NUT
tered prayer and bucked against his
assailant. Again Dan went down
Bill jumped on him and compelled him
to declare his willingness to the mar

The ceremony was performed with
great pomp. Young girls scattered

"Well, Dan, downed you," sait
Bill.
"Yes, but it was my fault"
"Howp"

"Yes. Professor Jasper, quite

brought to view many stars hitherto
undiscovered. The audience became
almost frantic with excitement. Lead

suit, and many dollars changed hands.
Evidently both men had greatly i'm

in science, it seemed that Dan had i'm

The result was sad. Dan, catching
curious hold of Bill, threw him. lie

Ihe arrangements were completed.
The neighborhood was greatly excited.
Hundreds of temporary benches, form
ing an arena, were constructed. Al
though the crops were not ''laid BY
people from all parts of the country
footed to see the combat. The neigh
borhood band, composed of three tid-
dlers, two banjo pickers and the agi-
tator OF triangle, took an assigned
position and soothed the crowd with
sweet symphonies. Bill had cordially
invited Professor Jasper, but the pro-
fessor, declaring that such scenes
were bore to him, declined.
Time was called. Handkerchief
fluttered. Everything bore a tremu-
lous aspect. Bill was dressed in red

of cottonade trousers. Dan wore a
