The BROOKLYN Elevated RAILROAD il making
money b. carrying pa, cngcrs at five cents head
all day. aui the KING, County Company has nc
copied with cIgrrncss the conditions Oh which the
Mayor and Commissioner of CITY Works will allow
II to build It's road in upper Fulton-st Of these
condition, being that the fare shall never exceed
five cents ON any line that may be built under its
charter. If iiyc-ccut fares Profitable in Brook
Ism, why should they not b. III Ncw-York I IIcrc
is point for the Legislature to consider Is there
any reason why NEWCOMERS should pay ten cents
on the elevated roads during the greater part of the
day, except the enormously inflated stock of tha
cOmpanIcsf
The growth of the Indian school at Carlisle Bar
racks, Penn, has been from cighty-lour pupils IN
1870 10 only SIX snort of 800 at the present time.
The Indians now in the school represent thirty
eight different tribes and the ages of the students
range from seven 10 twcnty-inur years. The
Apachcs have fifty representatives, the Sioux
cigh y-cght the Arapahocs and the Chcycancs
twenty -four each, the Omahas twenty-five, anG the
Pueblo, :ghtynnc.
When the present Administration took charge
of affairs it announced with great trumpet
blast that it had adopted policy which would keep
the Navy in such Il state OF efficiency rs the num-
Der and dctcrioratcd condition of naval vessels
would permit. Further, it declared that the
appropriation for Tie fiscal year would be diydot
up in twelve parts so that each month would
have It's allotment and there would be no ntermt-
tent cmplDymcnt of workmen. The allotmcnts for
July and August were allow od to accumulate so rs
to permit the employment of larger force than
could otherwise have been taken on, and from the
1t of September till election day the activity in
the yards recalled the days when the shops and
shlphouscs rc-cchocd with the hammerlngs of tho
mechanics total of l.243 men were employed,
but no sooner WAS the election over than fifty per
| cent Of them weIo schargod. Navy Yard officials
on Saturday announced that not only had the
November allotment of the appropriation been
expended but only 500 remained available for
work up to January /. This is economy and
reform with a vengeance.
Mr. Parncll's body of supporters has been heavily
| reinforced by the Irish elections. When sober
minded fpgishmen find leisure for reflection af ter
! the excitement of the present crisis has passed
they Will agree that his appearance in Parliament
| of seventy of eighty representatives is moment
| GUS event IN their history. What Will tho Tories
do for him I hey must go n long way in the path
of concession he will do ,ert them. In fact, the
! Parnelites, when Parliament meets. will be found
on the Opposition benches ready to harass their
| recent allies aud determined TO force Irish ques-
| lions upon the attention Of the English people
| they were when Slr Gladstone was in power.

NEARING 4 END.

On the north side a threefold line OF fortih-
cations defended Richmond. That Was the
side which Grant never besieged. A curious
fact about these Notifications is that they
were built by slave labor, In the first part
of the war every owner in the vicinity had
been forced to furnish a quota of a third to a
sixth Of all his slaves for the work.
In the autumn Grant had REINFORCED his
army again. A draft Of 10000 men had
been ordered. The middle of September he
wrote:
eWe ought to have the whole number of
men called for by the president in the shortest
possible time. Prompt action in filing up
our armies will have more effect upon the
enemy than victory. y = + The enforce
ment Of the draft and the prompt filing up
of our armies will save the shedding Of blood
to an immense extent
He hesitated at nothing which would fur.
Their the end in View-the stamping out Of
thu rebellion. Men must be had, draft or nc
draft.
The fall Of Atlanta infused o more hopeful
spirit into the northern people. The men
called for by the draft were obtained with.
out difficulty.
The forces lay In front Of Richmond, ap-
parently doing nothing. Except two or three
indecisive small fights, nothing seemed to b
done during the winter. What was Grant
about? Yet at this time, when he seemed
most inactive, he said, one day, to a foreign
officer:
81 feel as sure Of capturing Richmond as
do Of dying.n

Grant gave orders not to follow Lee, but 10 inter

p~arleyIng about terms, and Grant sent again this
note, eloquent IA its simplicity:
II have no authority to treat on the subject Of
peace. : y y Tho terms on which peace can be had

their arms they will hasten that most desirable
event, save thousands Of human lives, and hundreds

him fell the honor Of sending the last shot fired ~
the army Of the Potomac. He had heard rnnors OF
the surrender, but feared It was only a stratagem OF
the enemy. He paced upand down IN a little farm

The only actual appearance Of the famous apple

sat under such a tree when he received Grants note
in reply to his offer Ia surrender. The note was
| conveyed by Col Babcock Of Grants stan, and
merely requested Lee to appoint q place for the
meeting Of the two generals. Lee immediately rode
forward TO the village OF Appomattox and selected

this house, and not under the apple tree, that the
formal SURRENDER took place.

A ANp LINCOLN.

Here also to that historic log cabin came
frequently II greater than all-Lincoln, the
martyr president-he whose great, gentle
heart bore charity for all, with malice towards
none. He spent weeks altogether at the head
quarters during that fateful year. Between
him and Grant there was full understanding
and warm feeling. Grant said that in the
course Of this familiar acquaintance he had
come to regard Lincoln as by far the greatest
man who had occupied the presidential chat
since Washington. Lincoln liked to unbur
den his anxious soul to the general he hat
chosen. In that troubled time he was urge
to remove Grant and appoint somebody VIII,
had dash and would hasten matters. Ii
quaint phrase, Lincoln answered only:
Its a bad plan to swap horses in the mid
die of a river"
The plainness Of dress of both these histori,
Americans harmonized. In February, 1865
Grant went to see Lincoln at Washington
While there he called at the capitol and paiC
his respects to the senate in session. Tha
solemn body was not a little scandalized BY
the carelessness Of his attire. So much wa
this the case that after he had gone one o.
the senators actually arose and asked the con
sideration Of the senate on the matter.
ut is evident, " said this ane-spun senator
THAT a gross mistake has been made in ap
pointing Grant lieutenant general. tell you
there isn't a second lieutenant of the HON,
Guard in my state that does not cut a biggel
swell than this man who has just left GU
presence"

doubt if men in congress fully realize that

Probably It would be rather hard for "men

Grant wrote back; u have received your

It would not change eur. relations in the least.
I would make the same exertions to support
YOU that you have ever done to support me,

And once more the faithful Sherman re-
plies; 81 am fully aware Of your friendly
feeling towards me, and you may always de-
pend upon me as your steadfast supporter.
Your wish is law and gospel to me, and such
