A New Story of Gen. Grant.

The Cleveland Leader prints the fol-
lowing extract from tile manuscript
notes of Col. A. III. MARYLAND, who was
at the head Of the army postal service
during the war:
"The first time that General Grant
left Cutpepper Courthouse, Re his
headquarters then, we're, for Washing
ton city the quartermaster made up a
special train TO- accommodate the sick
and such as might have leave Of alb
sence, the road being taxed to, It's ut
most capacicy to bring forward supplies,
One passenger car in the train was re-
served for General Grant and such Of
ficers as might accompany him. Only
two or three officers were with him, and
they did not attract any special atten-
ton as they passed into the car. The
General was always the plainest and
least ostentatious man in the army. All
the cars of the train except the one
reserved for General Grant were soon
crowded, and many soldiers were stand
ing on the platform Of the station. Gen.
eral Grant was sitting alone on the side,
of the car next to the platform and near
the door, when a soldier came to the
door, and was told by the guard that
he could not come into that car. Gen-
eral Grant asked the guard what the
man wanted, and was told that he want
ed to go to Washington. The General
then asked why he was not permitted
to come into the car and was answered
that this car is a special car for Cen
eral Grant and his staff The General
quickly replied, Let HIM core in.
only occupy one seat in this car This
was the first intimation the guard had
that General Grant and his staff were
in the car. The General then asked
what the other men were doing who
were standing on the platform, and be.
ing told that they wanted to go tt
Washington, he said, Let all who car
crowd in get in The car was soo1
filed, one private soldier taking seat
beside the General and engaging him II
conversation nearly all the way te

combinations Of two materials. The
upper part of the dress will be of plain
goods, with figured stuffs for the
trimming and for the lower skirt. The
short plain basque of bison, serge, OF
of camel's hair, will be inlaid with vel
vet in front and back alike; sometimes
the velvet forms short curved OF

it extends to the waist line like vest

middle forms of the back. Revers OF
bretelles of the wool goods edge the
inlaid velvet, and these revers are some.
times covered with braid. Polka
basques for the house are very
similar in shape to the jackets
used over them for the street; they ex-
tend plainly over the hips, but are quite
short, reaching only three Or four in
ches below the waist line in the back,
where they are shortest, lying smoothly
on the tournure without pleats. Very
narrow vests are preferred when velvet
is used, especially if it is of q contrast
ing color. The deep pointed aprons
are now made of separate breadth of
cloth and disappear entirely on the
sides next the belt, leaving in view all
the underskirt, which may be of velvet
or of the plain cloth stitched in clusters,
or tucked, or else braided. The straight
full back drapery may hang plain its
entire length, or is may be laid in large
pleats, or, if it must be more bouffant,
it is pleated in single puff, and these
pleats are cleary defined, both in the
puff and in the cloth which falls, below
to the foot.

and grains are mainly carbon. Meats,
flesh of all kinds, abound in nitrogen.
Food which has most nitrogen is most
nutritious. Butter has eighty three
per cent of carbon and no nitrogen; an
egg has no carbon and twenty per
cent. of nitrogen. Milk contains
two parts warmth and one of
strength. Bread contains one part
of nitrogen and eight Of carbon.
It is thus seen that in reference to eat
ing, carbon which is charcoal fuel
and warmth are one and the same thing
while nitrogen-which is in effect salt
petre-gives flesh or muscle, which are
one and the same thing in substance
with strength. 1t lis also seen that most
articles of food have more carbon or
warmth than nitrogen or strength,
showing that it takes more to keep US
warm than to keep us strong. A seden-
tary person requires, in round numbers,
about one pound of food day, while a
hard working man requires two pounds
this two pounds of food gives out power
enough-as steam in an engine gives out
power-to raise a man of average weight
eleven miles high. But calling the two
pounds 5 900 grains, only 300 grains of it
are nitrogen, the remainder that is. six
teen times more of warmth is required
than of strength producing food. One
practical result is, that as the world be-
comes more thickly populated, the
necessity increases of economizing food;
of adapting it to the various needs OF
the system as modified by age, sex, oc-
cupation and season. Persons living in
doors should not eat more than half as
much as those who work hard. Less
warming food should be eaten in hot
weather than in cold. If we eat an ex-
cess of warming food in hot weather we
have to work it out of the system at q
great expenditure of strength and until
it is worked off we feel full and feverish
and oppressed; on the other hand, in
winter we require an additional quantity
of warming food, hence our instincts
lead to eat heartily of pork, and buck.
wheat cakes, and butter, and molasses
which are almost purely carbon. II
warm weather we need cooling food, and
Providence sends US in profusion the
fruits, and the berries, and the greer
things, which have no carbon at all and
while our appetite for them is ravenous
the very idea of fatty food is nauseating

a Perfect Marriage.

Theodore Parker writes: Young peo-
pie marry their opposites IN tempera-
ment and character, and such marriages
are generally good ones. They do it in :
stinctively. The young man does not
say, "My black eyes require to be wed
with blue, and my over vehemence re-
quires to be little modified with some
what OF dullness and reserve" When
these opposites come together tobe wed
they do not know it, but each thinks the
other just like himself. Old people
never marry their opposites, they
marry their sim1lars, and from calcula-
ton. Each Of these two arrangements
is very proper. In their long journeys

Farming Notes.

Make up your minds that you will
farm little better this year than ever
before, and begin now. You who do
not need these hints may not think they
mean you, but there are enough who do
need them.
Get your early potatoes up where
they will warm and get ready to sprout
when planting time comes.

fers for chicken feed and fuel. An acre
Of the plants produces seed enough to
pay the cost of production as food for
his chickens, while the stalks and seed
less heads make abundant fuel for six
months use.
The state of California has about 17O,-
900 acres in vineyard. The total wine
product is now about IA ,OOO,O0O of gal
aons for the state. This will increase
with the age of vineyards lately planted
in two years to 50,O00,OOO. The soil
and climate are peculiarly adapted to
grape growing and the finer favored
varieties are hardy. Forty thousand
people find employment and the state
received last year for the crop sold near

The Business Gait.

A good walking gait for horse IS
best. Few farmers think of this; most
of them. want the colt to be trotter.
The trotter craze has been an awful
curse to the country. It makes me sick
to think of it. How many young men
have gone to the bad on account of It !;
and what good does it all do? The
horses Of to-day are not the equals in
endurance Of those Of the fathers. The
horses Of earlier days did more and
harder work, lived longer and kept
sounder than ours They trot faster
now, but what of that? It is a virtue, if
it is, which makes vice. Teach the colt
TO walk, to start on walk, and to keep
on walking till it is hidden to go faster
such colt will make pleasant driver
and last longer, and will be worth a
great deal more to sensible man.
Break the colt before it is harnessed
TO any vehicle. It will make safer
and more easily managed animal. I
have such horse, and the other day
he saved the team because he would
not run away with his mate He walked,
and turned in at home all right, with a
big load of coal. The driver carelessly
left them without tying, and 1t was
cold. A fast-walking horse will go
further and faster than one broken to
go by spurts, and do it easier, and last
longer. When working horse is
spushed to .trot it will walk every
chance it'gets and walks slow to get its
breath and rest. A driving horse with
light draft can trot with more ease,
but good walker on a long heat will
make the time much sooner than one
could suppose Franklin D. Curtis,

Dairying VS.. Wheat Growing.

The farmers of Iowa were among the
first to break away from the one crop
system, and to diversity their grain
growing with dairying. There are now
400 creameries or cheese factories in that
State, and their patrons find the indus
try much more profitable than raising
wheat at 60 to 70 cents bushel on land
that is worth from $15 to 800 per acre.
The st. Louis Republican reports
that the farmers in northern Missou-
ri have begun to turn their atten-
ton in the same direction, and
says that if one-half the money and
labor expended last year in raising Mis-
souri's crop or 100000 bushels of
wheat had been given to dairying: the
net result would have been double. It
argues that s'the markets of the world
are glutted with wheat, but the more
butter and cheese produced, the more
there is consumed demand keep
ing pace with and even outstripping
the supply" There is commonly
market for good dairy products at re-
munerative prices, but it is doubtful if
the average profits have been greater
than those gained from wheat, taking
period of ten years together. The pro-
duction OF good butter is not altogeth-
er matter of disposition. Much de-
ponds upon the pasturage, the
water, and climatic conditions. The
dairying belt is as restricted as the wheat
belt, taking the whole country togeth-
er. The sections adapted to it can
make the industry profitable. It is
doubtful if the other sections can do so.
The older settled portions of the West
are experiencing from the cheap and
virgin fields in the Northwest the stress
of thu competition by which they forced
the farmers Of the Eastern and Middle
States to abandon grain growing as a
reliance, and diversity their produc-
tions. History is repeating itself in
compelling them to adopt q similar

How French Women Dress.

The chief point to note about the
dress of a Partisan woman, observes the
fashionable Philadelphia Telegraph, no
matter what her station in life may be,
is its appropriateness. She does not
wear as costly garments usually as the
American of the same social class, but
they are always thoroughly suitable to
her position and to the occasion on
which they are to be worn. A French
elegante, for instance, will neither go
shopping in velvet costume nor to a
wedding or official reception in a cloth
jacket and cashmere gown. She never
goes out on foot in superb and snowy
apparel, OF appears at ball in a dark
silk made high in the neck and with
long sleeves. Etiquette forbids her re-
ceiving even the most intimate of her
gentlemen friends in her morning dress
though this rule has been relaxed Of
late in favor of the very suberb morn
ing toilets of brocade and satin and
lace which have been concocted for
morning wear by the leading Partisan
dressmakers. These, however, are
simply reception toilets for morning in
stead of for afternoon wear. If she
desires to go out on foot she dons the
simplest ct costumes in dark cloth or
cashmere. Her visiting costume may
be as magnificent as her purse or her
desires may makeit, and the same may
be said of the dress in which she re-
ceives callers on her cat home" day.
Her theater bonnet is much more
snowy and dressy than her visiting
one. For street wear she dons a
bonnet in very dark velvet or felt. In
the matter OF gloves and chassure she is
always irreproachable. For evening
dress the satin slippers and silk stock
ings precisely match the toilet with
! which they are to be worn. There was
an attempt made at one time to intro
duce the wearing of scarlet hose and
black slippers with white evening
dresses, but it proved a total failure.
Neither were black slippers and stock
ings ever worn in Paris with white or
pale tinted ball dresses. That fashion
was not French, it was possibly Eng
lish, and unfortunately it was Ameri-
can.
