this swift and straight from the old
commander: "I will not employ
the army for any such purpose, nor
will l let it be employed for any
such purpose"
But" said johnson, " I am by
the Constitution commander in
chief. What will you do if I give
you such orders?'
Disobey them," quietly rejoined
Chant, "and state my reasons to
Congress and the country. The
soldiers OF the South accepted my
parole, which, by the laws of war
and of the United States l was au-
thorized to give. 1t guaranteed they
should not be molested if they laid
down their arms, went home and
obeyed the laws. They did so. l
will stand by that parole. and the
first corrt.martial you order would
better be one to try me, for will
not issue such orders as you sug-
gest, and I will issue orders against
them for the purpose you state"
President johnson, after measur-
ing the odds, abandoned the project
of vengeance.

sects, and the family table would be
enriched by costless, toothsome and
nourishing dishes. The insects eat
up every green thing, complains the
farmer. Well, eat them, retorts Mr..
Holt, and grow fat. 1t is evidently
a case of the bitter bit, or, as the
author says, battling with the enemy
tooth and nail. To enforce the
economical side of this case, he in
stances the strong-stomached and
hungry sailor, who raps his sea-bis-
cult ON the table to shake out the
worms before eating it. Let him
shake out the worms by all means.
says Mr.. Holt, but let him collect
them, fry them i'll lard, and spread
the dainty upon his dry biscuit. He
will not again throw meal-worms
away. The fashionable world has
little to overcome IN this respect, Tor

London Health Exhibition last year.
the sea-slng was a much enjoyed
delicacy, and the trepans (as Mr..
Holt sarcastic ally remarks) by any
other name would taste as sweet
even by the name of garden-slug.
Peculiarly distressing to Mr.. Holt
is the waste of cockchafers. "You

The Inner Man.

A recent book called. "Why
not Eat Insects?' is written by MIR.
Vincent M. Holt. The subject
seemed like a joke, but, after
reading Mr.. Hollis arguments, many
people will be convinced that he
has really made out a strong
case on a serious subject. He
says: 81 am quite aware of the
horror with which this opinion
will be read by many at first sight
but when it is carefully thought
over I fail to see that any one ca
pable of correct reasoning can deny
its practical truth" He begins by
drawing n line of distinction be-
tween carnivorous and noncarnivor-
Gus insects. Men, he says, have
almost invariably agreed not to eat
carnivorous animals, nor does he
advocate the eating of carnivorous
insects; especially not, is his rather
ghastIy assurance, Blaps Mortisaga,
the goul. AS regards the food of
the creatures we eat, he insists, with
good deal of scorn, that il is
ridiculous tor people who enjoy
Holsters and cells, both filth eating
animals, who chose cheese largely
composed of mites, and who esteem
the unmentionablo peculiarly of
woodcock on toast, to turn up their
noses at the cleanly srubs which eat
vegetables, or the delicate moths
and wasps which eat honey. Two
reasons for insect.e eating he chiefly
urges first, that philosophy bids US
neglect no wholesome source of
food; second, that in those days of
agricultural distress insect-eating
would be double boon to the agri.
cultural laborer, for his children
would bs rewarded by the farmers
for handpicking the destructive in

General Grant.
JEFF DAVIS ON GRANT,

The Boston Globe has printed the
following letter from Jefferson Davis,
dated Beauvoir, Miss, April 2, 1885:
SIR:-Your letter asking me to
give my views on the subject of Gen
eral Grants military career has been
received. With most respectful con-
sideration for you and the influential
paper you represent, I must decline
to comply with the request for the
following reasons: General Grant
is reported dying. Although he in
vaded our country with ruthless
track, it was with open hand, and,
so far as I know, be abetted neither
pillsse or arson. When his armies
wero SO successful that General Lees S
army had not even the power further
to retreat, General Grant gave terms
both liberal and courteous. and has
since the war, I believe, shown no
malignity, nor perpetuated ISLANDERS
against the confederates, either of
the military or civil service.
Therefore, instead of seeking to
disturb the quiet of his closing
hours, I would, if it we're in my
power, willingly contribute to the
repose of his mind and the comfort
of his body. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
CAPTAIN GRANTS RESIGNATION.
A prominent officer at army head
quarters is reported as saying:
"There is one incident in Grants
life, l think, that has never been
published. He was a pretty wild
young officer, but by 1858, by good
service, had won a captains bars in
the Fourth infantry, the same regi-
ment, by the way, now stationed at
Fort Omaha. Grants excesses had
caused his friends great trouble, and
finally the President was compelled
to demand his resignation, with the
date left blank. 1t was given, and
the President informed him if he did
not keep straight the date would be
filled in and the paper filed. Grant
got along nicely until in August.
1854, when he became reckless
again. The President, true to his
word, filed the resignation and sent
Lewis Cass Hunt, then o Lieutenant
in the Fourth, to tell Grant that it
had been accepted. Hunt found the
Captain sitting before crate fire in
his quarters, and broke thel bad
news to him as gently as possible.
Grant was quiet for q second and
then said, calmly, We'll, perhaps
it is for the best He retired from
the army and nothing more was
heard from him until after the out
break of the war;
TOLD By GRANT.
Andrew johnson, at the begin
ming of his term, sent for General
Grant. They had private inter-
view. He bluntly told the General
that he wished the army to be en-
ployed to arrest the members of the
rebel administration, the rebel con-
gress, and the rebel state govern
ments, as we'll as the rebel army aud
and navy officers. Tie former he
would try in federal courts. The
latter he would try by military COM
missions. He frankly added: Il
intend to hang every mothers son
Of them" This was the time when to
Tom, Dick and Harry. Tray, Blanche
aud Sweetheart, he was saying:
Treason must be made odious, and
traitors must be punished" He was
also drinking more than was good
for him-and Grant was not.
For reply, President johnson got
