REMARKABLE MEMORIES.
Wonder Feats OF Men Who Could Remem-
ber Well.

There was Corsican boy who could
rehearse folty thousand words, whether
sense or nonsense, as they were die
tated, and then repeat them in the re-
versed order without making a single
mistake. A physician, about sixty years
ago, could repeat the whole of "Para-
disc Lost without a mistake, although
he had not read it for twenty years.
Euler, the great mathematician, when
he became blind could repeat the
whole of Virgils "1Eneid'' and could
remember the first line and the last
line in every page of the particular edi-
ton which he had been accustomed to
read before he became blind. Che
kind of retentlve memory may be con-
sldered as the result of sheer work, a
determination toward one particular
achievement, without reference either
to cultivation or to memory on other
subjects. This is frequently shown by
persons in humble life in regard to the
bible. An old beggarman at Sterling,
known about fifty years ago as "Blind
Alick," afforded an instance of this.
He knew the whole of the bible by
heart, insomuch that if a sentence was
read to HIM, he could name the book,
chapter, and verse; or if the book,
chapter, and verse were named, he
could give the exact words. A gentle
man, to test him, repeated averse, pur-
posely making one verbal inaccuracy,
Alick hestated, named the place where
the passage was to be found, but at the
same time pointed out the verbal error.
The same gentleman asked him to re-
peat the ninetieth verse of the seventh
chapter of the book of Numbers. Alick
almost instantly replied: "There is nc
such verse. That chapter has only
eighty-nine verses" Gassendi had ac.

In Japan woman's position is readily
told by the arrangement of her hair. The
maid wife and widow have a different
style. If such fashion could only be
introduced into this country what lot
of trouble it would prevent. But it would
knock half the vim out of sensational
newspaper, as there would be no excuse
for man flirting with another mans
wife, thinking her an unmarried woman.

Tired and Languid Women.

How many women there are of whom
these words are true: "They feel languid
and tired, hardly able to bear their weight
on their feet, the bloom all gone from their
cheeks, irratable and cross without mean
ing to be, nerves all upset, worried with the
children, fretted over little things, burden
to themselves, and yet with no acute dis
ease" What a pity it IS. But few bot
ties of Parker's Tonic will drive all this
away, and relieve the troubles peculiar to
their SEX

SHERlDAN'S RIDE,
The General Tells How the Poem Was
Written.

Inc General Tells How the Poem Was
Written.
Referring to the poem of "Sheridan's
Ride" | asked the General if he had
ever met the author.
YES" he replied, 81 know him
we'll l first met him at the battle of
Stone River. He was a guest at the
headquarters of General Rosecrans and
stayed with us good while"
"Did you know how he happened to
write it ?"
eyes, have heard him tell about it
great many times. There are num-
Der Of stories floating around, but I'll
give you the true one, as Read told it
to me. James E. Murdoch suggested
the idea"
'Murdoch, the elocutionist."
'Yes +; he was an actor at one of the
Cincinnati theatres at the time and a
great friend of mine. He lost a son at
the battle of Missionary Rdge-Mur-
doch did-and come down there to
get the body. The enemy occupied
the place where the boy was buried,
and the old man remained there a
guest at my headquarters. He used
to ride the lines with me, and always
used the black horse Rienzi, that was
afterwards called Winchester, and be-
came very fond of him. Things were
very exciting down there, and Muir
doch saw a good deal of war. Sun
days he always read and recited poems
to the troops around headquarters, and
there was one poem of Browning's that
was always called for. 1t was a great
tavorlte with the soldiers and
with me, and we never let him of,
without reading it. 1t was the ride
from Ghent to Aix-you remember it.
"Well, after the battle of Cedar
Creek there was published in Ha,ber'S
Weekly story of my ride from Win
chester, and picture of me on the
black horse Rienzi. Murdoch saw it
and took it up to Read; suggesting that
it was a good theme for poem. Muir
doch had just seen an officer who was
there and gave him description of the
affair, and Read jumped at the idea.
He shut himself up in his room, wrote
the poem that afternoon, had his wife
make copy, and sent it over to Muir
doch's house as soon as it was done,
to see how he liked it. Murdoch was
very much pleased, and that night
read the poem at the theatre between
the acts"
$50 it got into the newspapers, where
| first saw it."
ut is said you have the original
manuscript?'
"No; l never saw it.
GLOW did Read happen to paint the
picture?'
"He did it on an order from the
Union League Club, of Philadelphia.
They sent him down to New Orleans,
where | was stationed, and l sat for
him there. He was going to Rome
that fall and could not finish it, but
made some sketches and completed
the picture at Rome. l never had a
copy of the picture, but he afterwards
gave me the sketches, which l still have
at my house"

GENERAL GRANT DEAD.


We received the sad news Friday
evening last, of the death Of General
q. S. Grant. He died at Mt. Gregor
Thursday morning, July 23d, at $3.50,
with all his family around him. Dis
patches were sent all over the nation,
and the whole nation was in mourn
ing. His history is too well known to
demand any eulogy from us. Suffice
it to say, that great man has fallen,
and we mourn, as does the whole peo-
pie Of this mighty nation, and deeply
sympathise with his devoted and be-
reft wife.
LONDON, July %. The news Of the
death of General Grant has created
profound impression in this city. The
flags of the American Exchange and
at the American Consulate were plac-
ed at half-mast the moment the news
was received in this city. Large por-
traits of the dead hero drapad in
mourning were placed over the bal
comics and doors Of both buildings.
The whole front of the American Ex-
change was also heavily draped.
Gladstone and John Bright were
both much affected on receiving the
sad intelligence.
President Cleveland sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to Mrs. Grant at Mt.
Gregor:
"Accept this expression of my heart
felt sympathy in this the hour Of your
great affection. The people of this
nation mourn with you, and would
reach if they could with kindly COM
fort, the depth of the sorrow which
is yours alone, and which only the
pity of God can heal"
