One Black Bean in an Hundred.

One of General Grants newly ap-
pointed staff officers had never been In
any serious engagement. But almost
the first day that he reported to Grant
he was placed under fire of the hottest
and most severe kind. The screaming
of the balls, the roaring of the cannon,
and the sharp crack and rattle of the
musketry thoroughly demoralized him.
He became absolutely sick and para
lyzed with fear. He was so weak from
nervous excitement that he lost physi-
cal control over himself. General
Grant came up at the very climax of
his fright, and, noticing his pale face,
his blue lips and ehattering teeth he
said. Captain, you are frightened.
That is natural enough. You will get
over it. Suppose" continued Grant,
II should come to you with hat con-
tanning ninety-nine white beans and
one black bean; do you think your
chance Of getting that black bean would
be very good? Well, your chance for
being hit under this fire is no greater
than your chance of drawing the black
beam" This officer at once took heart,
and from then on he never showed the
slightest sign of fear.

The North American Review for De-
cember may be called an historical
number, both from its topics and its
contributors It opens with an article
by Colonel Fred Grant, entitled "Hal-
leck's Injustice to Grant" This article
explains how, Halleck so misrepresent-
ed General Grant, after the capture Of
Fort Donelson, that General McC Clellan
authorized his arrest! 1t is an extraor-
dinary revelation and Is told almost
exclusively In extracts from dispatches,
many Of which were suppressed.
Gov. Ireland of Texas describes the
progress of that State.
MOTLEY and Monarch" is o prose
poem on Lincoln, by Colonel Ingersoll.
1t Is marvellous bit Of rhetoric.
Rome and the Inquisitionsn is a
learned Catholic defence OF the charge
of cruelty against these ecclesiastical
tribunals-outside of Spain.
Gen. Fry; in his acquaintance with
Grant," describes the cadet life of the
future General of the Army" and
vindicates Gen. Fitz-John Porter.
8. Dana Horton gives rejoinder to
the silver symposium of the November
number.
Israel Green, the lieutenant who
struck John Brown in the face with his
saber after he was down, tells his
version of the Harper's Ferry affair.
Senator Boutwell, and Gen. Rosecrans
contribute two articles-on Johnson's
plot and on Grants mistakes, which
are too important to discuss in para
graph.
Mr.. Rice, the editor, contributes the
closing article on IA Disfranchised
People," which, he claims, the citizens
of Delaware are.

Arc Baking Powders Wholesome?

vexed question that cannot be readily answer
ed by the ordiuaIy housekctper. There are three
istDct classes oil these powders, differing In the
active principle employed, viz, those containing
cream tartar, alum and the phosphstes. Cream tar
tar powders leave tarrute OF soda and potash in the
bread alum powders leave eulphate Of soda, while
the spbate powders leave the phosphates therein
There has always heen more or less controversy
among scentistsas to the healthfnlness of cream
tartar and alum when used constantly. There is no
question ~ 10 the healthfulness and nutritious
value OF the phosphates TO the human system. AL
authorities are agreed upon this point, and when
Prof Hprsford produced baking powder contain.
ing the ph Jsphates he was universally congratulat
al upon his achievement. The eminent Baron
Liebig Of the most practical chemists the world
ever produced, wrote to him: II have, through
great series Of experiments satisfied myself of the
purity aud excellence o. your baking preparations.
The bread has acid, is sasily digested, and ofthe
best taste. Aside from the conveniences this iu-
valuable idea Of yours has provided, consider this
invention one Of tn. m0st useful gifts which
acience has made to mankind! 1t is certain that
the nutrive valne of the -four will be increased ten
per eeut. by your phosphate baking preparations,
and the result ia precisely the same the fertii
ty Of our wheat fields had been increased by that
amount. What wonderful result is this I"
While there may doubt arise as to the healthful-
ness of ordinary baking powder, no one need hesi-
tate about using the powder made by Prof. Hors-
f,rd's process. He not only produces apowder that
is healthful, but IL is actually nutritious food In
itself, and cannot be too highly recommended.

Dangerous possibilities.

The Republicans have majority In
the national senate. They can Of course
ele,t one ~ their number president pro
tenn, which will put him In the line Of
succession In the unhappy event of
President Cleveland's death or disabili-
~ from amy cause. ~
But while the right OF. the Republi-
cans tn do this Is freely conceded we do
not think they ought 10 do IL. They
eannot hoilorably take advantage OF an
accident 20 put one Of their number in
10 place where il was and Is the win
ofthe people to have 4 Democrat We
think that under the the
Republican senators ought to stand
aside and permit Democrat to be
chosen to I'LL, ex ofiicio, the place that
Mr.. Hendricks would have filled II he
had lived. The Republican senators
could well afford to rise above party,
place patriotism higher than partisan
advantage, and ailowa Il Democrat to be
chosen president pro tenn, of the sem
ate. III
Why not7 The people did not vote
that John A. Logan, or George +. Ed
munds, or John Sherman should oc-
cupy the vice presidential chair; why,
then. should the aeeident of death be
taken advantage of to bring about a
result that the people did not intend?
Aud to puts Republican in that place,
with only one life between the Republi-
can party and power, is to incur O grave
danger. It is putting an inducement
in the way of some crank, some Repub-
lican whose brain has been turned by
loss of Office, to remove" President
Cleveland as Guitcau did Garfield. 1t
is in fact an inducement to assassina-
ton and incentive to mOnstrous crime.
We do not speak of that more dark
and awful possibility that the prompt
ing of an unholy ambition in the heart
of the man thus elevated to a place
where but one poor life stood between
him and the glittering prize of power
might lead on to a more m0nstrous
crime than any that has ever yet stain
ell the annals Of the republic. 1t is too
horrible possibility to be even suggest
ed. But if some such tragedy
should place the man of opposite party
who stood second to President Cleve-
land in his place there would be dark
whisperngs and lnen would say Justly
or unjustly, "He did it."
| lltere OuGnt Io Oe no Sucn telupCd-
tion. No Republican ought to be plac-
ed where such possibilities of evil de-
pend upon a single human life. There
is peril in it to the man SO placed, to
the people, and to the country.
Let us hope that the Republican sena-
tors will! be more patriotic than selfish
and that they will allow Democrat to
be elected president pro tenn. of the
senate.-Pdin Dealer.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 3O.-The sena-
torial election mandamus cases from
Hamilton county are to be taken before
the Supreme Court to-day, and must be
decided before the 10th of December.
Clerk Dalton declines to obey the order
of the Circuit Court of Hamilton
county. He proposes to await the de-
csion of the Supreme Court, and act in
accordance with its mandate. There
is no doubt that the partisan decision
of the Circuit Court will be promptly
set aside, and the clerk will be directed
to issue certificates to the Democratic
Senators.

are preparing to abandon their bloody shirt
campaign in Ohio and make the tarhf take
its place. Senator Sherman, if not yet adj
vised, ought to have been by thi5 time,
through the campaign committee, bat lead
ing Republicans in New York and Pennsyl-
vapia have protested against the war issues
being made prominent, and the result is the
halt is to be called. Those who have adj
yised the withdrawal of the sectional
issues notified the Ohio leaders that can
vass conducted on those issues to the
finish would certainly lose Hamilton
county and other cities having a CONNER
cial trade. What, however, has influenced
Sherman 81 Co. to take the back track was
the refusal Of Eastern business mgn to con-
tribute any money to the OHIO canvass SO
long as the campaign was waged upon is
sues which struck at the very breast Of
their commercial relations. 1t was here
the shoe pinched. Mr.. Sherman is now to

81. Louis, Sept. 30.-The second day of
the Sportsmen's national convention at
Elk's hall showed an increase in attend
ance Of delegates. The committee on pro-
lection and propagation OF fish reported
that the catch OF fish should be prohibited
IN public waters at the close OF the season:
that the prohibition seasons in all the
states should be Uniform So far as possible.
viz: For spring spaWnS, from Feb. j. to
Aug. 1; I0r fall spawnS from Sept.
1 to April l; that the fish COM
misSioners of the various states should
be the judges of what constituted
the proper time. 4 resolution was adopted
calling on congress to pass law for the
protection of tlsh in waters not controlled
by state legislation. The committee ad-
jOurned until p. M, after majority and
minority report had been supported by the
committee having in charge the closing sea
son for same.
AT the afternoon session the resolutions
relating to the protection OF game, sub
mitted by the committee on that subject.
were 9ken up, and, after good deal of
discussion, adopted as thev came
from the committee. although there
was a strong effort made to modify the
limits OF the close season as fixed by the
committee. The report recommends that
close and open seasons be adopted in all the
states and territories east of the Rocky
mountains for deer, wild turkeys, and al
the game birds, also rabbits, and that the
close of the season should
COVER THE BREEDING PERIOD,
and such additional time as is necessary to
prevent the reduction of the present num-
Der Of said animals and birds. They also
believe that hunting deer with
hounds should 6e prohibited at all
seasons and in all states; that
song and insectivorous birds Should
be protected the year round; that The rob
bing OF nests of birds should be prohibited:
that catching of birds by night should be
forbidden by law; that no gun Of larger
calibre than No. 10 should be used
in hunting any kind Of game; that
the twin interests Of game and
FISH should be blended, and to the duties Of
FISH commissioners should be added the nTe-
lection Of game; that game and fish ward
dens should be appointed by governors in
each congressional district and deputy
wardens IL each county: that those
officers should be under the direction of the
game and fish commissioners and that they
should have authority to prosecute all per
sons for the violation Of the game and fish
laws The clause prohibiting the hurting
of deer with hounds was stricken out
and also the one protecting rabbits The
report of the committee on protecting fish
was amended by the adoption of clauses
prohibiting the use of dynamite and other
explosives and poisons for the destruction
OF fish and for the offering of bounties
for killing predatory fish, such as gars.
dog fish and hard shell turtles. The
committee of permanent Organization
submitted a plan for the organization of the
national association Tor the protection
Of game and fish. the object of which shall
be the bringing about Of the enactment by
congress and the several states and terrific
ries of uniform game laws and their better
enforcement.
