Cleveland is reported to have recently
said that he means all he said in his letter
to G. William Curtis, and that he does
not mean that it shall be read between the
lines. That is, says he, if he is quoted
correctly, Il mean that no man is to be re-
moved from office merely because he is
Rrpublican." The old nossbacks regard
this information from his state of mind as

The new grandmother has come to
the front of late years and made her
presence felt in the most emphatic
manner. The old grandmother whom
we used to know has been shelved.
How she used to sit in the corner, al
ways in the same place, with her great,
kindly eyes watching the sparks fly up
ward from the back log in the fire
place; how she used to be domure and
silent when there was company pres
ent; how she used to take a back seat
when the beau came in to see the
granddaughter, and how she used to
say Yes when the granddaughter
asked her what to say to the beau-all
these things some of us know and re-
member. But the new grandmother is
different sort of a person. You found
that out when you were counting your
wife. How often when you called on
the latter before marriage and said
something about going to the theater or
out for supper or out for drive did
the response in first person, plural
number? When you married, the
grandmother was around. This was
all right. Now that some years stretch
back of that event, in the evenings at
home you find that while the corroding
finger of time is tangling itself in your
hair the grandmother seems to rear up
in stateliness. She is quite handy in
every respect. You buy two spring
bonnets instead of one. You get three
theater tickets instead of two. You
get two opinions instead of one. In
the long and dreary winter this modern
grandma does now and then seek her
couch, and you do have a chance TO
hear your wife talk. But oh, in the
summer time, when the robins nest
again and the green grass is growing
all around. and she comes out-grand-
ma-and sits down on the steps, and
sits and sits until ''the eternal dances
of the midnight sky run down, and
she continues to sit until your wife
says it is so very oppressive that ice
cream would be a luXury-then you
know how sturdy grandma is; how
much better she looks than she did.
How much stouter than the poor old
grandmother you used to read about
when you were a boy. Brethren Con
the quiet), have we not on this first
Sunday in spring pounded responsive
chord in your bosoms? Don't all speak
at once-but haven't we?

He Eorgave Him.

One of Mr.. Lincoln's annoyances
was the claims advanced for having
first suggested his nomination as pres
ident One of these claimants, who
was the editor of a weekly paper pub
lished in a little village IN Missouri,
called at the white house, and was adj
mitted to Mr.. Lincoln's presence. He
at once commenced stating to Mr..
Lincoln that he was the man who first
suggested his name for the presidency,
and pulling from his pocket an old,
worn, defaced copy of his paper, eXhib-
tied to the president an item on the
subject.
''Do you really think" said Mr..
Lincoln, ''that announcement was the
occasion of my nominationm
Certainly" said the editor, ''the
suggestion was so opportune that it
was at once taken up by other papers,
and the result was your nomination and
election"
.'Ah, we'll, said Mr.. Lincoln, with a
sigh, and assuming a rather gloomy
countenance, Il am glad to see you
and to know this, but you will have to
excuse me, I am just going to the war
department to see Mr.. Stanton"
"WelI," said the editor, Il will walk
over with you.
The president, with that apt good
nature SO characteristic of him, took up
his hat and said: 'Come along"
When they reached the door Of the
secretary 5 Office Mr.. Lincoln turned to
his companion and said:
Il shall have to see Mr.. Stanton
alone, and you must excuse me-" and
taking him by the hand he continued,
"'good-by. / hope you will feel per-
fectly easy about having nominated
me; DOM be troubled about it; for
give you. "-Ben. Perry Po0re, IN Bos-

as letter from Minnesota man, who
wanted an appropriation by Congress
to provide him with a good sleigh. He
told what kind of wood it was to be
made of, how many bells it should
have. and how thick the steel of the
runners should be; and in a post
scriptum intimated that the salvation
of the country depended on the APP
propriation.

The Boston Beacon is responsible for
this little anecdote: At one of the
teas the other afternoon the guests
were begged to take home with them
the beautiful and dainty Dresden china
cups and saucers out of which they had
drank ten-dollar-a-pound Russian tea.
They refused, of course, as nobody
likes to walk about with soiled dishes
tucked in her pocket, and the obliging
hostess never offered to have a servant
wash them. Her idea of a chrome
could not go quite SO far as that.

PENSIONS,

South Carolina has never we think
Iccn accused Of the proverbial ingrati-
tudc of Republics. But it seems to us
she might with some show Of truth be
accused Of a degree of negligence in
that she has not made provision for the
care of her disabled and MANNED Con-
fedcrate soldiers. 1t is true that the
number is not very large Of this class,
who cannot obtain n livelihood Of some
sort in this favored country. 1t is true
also. that within n few years the polit-
cal condition Of the State made it out Of
the question, to do more than save the
State from the clutches Of the thieves
and vandals that then had her in con
troll. 1t is furthermore true. that not
until quit, recently has the State been
in n financial condition to warrant her
in assuming the burden Of a pension
list. But there is no doubt now Of her
prosperity. Our observations confirm
the report Of the statistics that the STAGE
is on the high rond Of prosperity.
Daily VIC sec some veteran Of the war
with an empty sleeve, or a wooden leg,
or who is suffering from the effects Of
exposure and wounds. and we are i'm
pressed with the tact that the State that
called upon them for, and ac-
ceptcd their aid in her hour of need
should not forget nor neglect them in
her day Of prosperity and plenty. The
widows and orphans Of dead Coniedcr-
ate soldiers need help that they cannot
and will not ask for. Surely the State
will ONE to their aid. She owes it t.
those who gave their lives and limbs in
her defense.
