soul. Grant SO far from being
genuine lover of the Union was
bitter enemy Of the South. H,
was an intense sectlonalist. Hi
soul never for moment expanded
to the largeness of the whole coun'
try. "A country reunited by the
chains of superior force, fastened on
one section with manacles and held
by the other section iu a grasp OF
relentless mastery-yes; but coun-
try truly unified by the sweet inhu-
ence of mutual forgiveness, mutual
respect and a common patriotism
no! Grant was military man of
fair ability, but who would for a
moment suppose him to have been
capable Of taking the field against
Lee, or Stonewall Jackson or either
OF the Johnstons, at the head of an
army equal in number and equip
ments. A somewhat proper esti-
mate of the man is found in the
New York Stm of the oath ultimo.
As a General it speaks of him as
follows:
ut is true that he was favored
by what men commonly call for
tune, and that he had good armies
which generally ontnumbered those
which confronted him. It is also
true that he had no love of science
or study, and never read a military
book more abtruse than the army
regulations that his tactics were
defective and his plans of battle
simple and unscientifc ; and yet he
never failed to secure victory in the
end over his opponent. 1t
is true that he knew but little
about grand tactics ard still less of
strategy and military history as
taught in the books; and yet by
rude methods, modesty, common
sense, steadiness and that steadfast
and unyieldiug courage which DIES
cended to him perhaps from the
wild clansmen of Strathspey, he
won victories which must keep his
name ever bright in the history of
the Union"
Of his moral character the Sun
says:
"He was also wonderfully cred
ulous in believing the fictions of
those who wished 70. use. him for
the promotion of their own fortunes.
and in attributing to those who fiat
tered and pleased him talents and
qualities of which they were often
entirely destitute. And
finally his moral sense at times
seemed to be strangely blunted or
defective; and while it may have
never led him to the commission of
wrong acts, it certainly made him
exceedingly lenient towards those
who mid commit them. Where his
ntlmates were concerned or his DO
itieal or personal interests involve,

GAS a statesman, his career re-
suited in failure, for reasons which

man, his name has been sullied by
the rascality of those whom he
blindly trusted. With adversity
he gained experience, and could his
life have been spared, let US hope
wisdom would have. come to him
bringing with it a more tolerant re.
gard for the honest men, whose
council he put aside, and a more
decided contempt for the hatterers.

THIS EVENINGS DOIMcS.
THE CLASSIC SHADES OF pUAAHoU.

Principal Merritt, of the Oahu
College, yesterday afternoon called
at the BULLETIN office door with his
carriage, and took the editor out to
that institution. 1t is 4 very pleas
ant drive to very lovely spot.
Just after passing Mr.. Spreckels'
mansion, modest-looking gate is
entered, and a winding road leads
through wooded lawn to the Col
lege. Arrived at the centre of the
group of buildings, glance shows
progress written upon the surround
ings. Although, being his first visit,
the writer could not place in order
all the changes that had even recent
ly taken place, yet the different
styles of building and the graduated
evidences of respective age showed
that series of progressive strides
had occurred in the appointments
and appurtenances of the College.
By arrangement with an adjoin-
ing proprietor the ground has been
squared up into more symmetrical
shape than it formerly had. Last
summer the shifting of several minor
buildings, and the grading of the
ground about the library and class
room building, made great i'm
provement in appearances. Changes,
that must of necessity be gradual,
are contemplated upon the lawn-a
greater variety of trees to be planted
and the grass assisted to triumph
over the weeds.
The principal building of the
group is the one occupied as the
home of the boarding students 1t
is long, two-storied, and elegant
looking structure, surmounted by n
square tower of observation, and
having ample verandahs-those joys
of this climate. The tower looks
rather angular and to slender harmo-
nize with the building, and in the
more prosperous days apparently
coming upon the institution, it is to
be hoped the trustees will replace it
with n broader-based and terraced
structure, or a large dome. AS it
is, however, the view from the tower
is one of surprising loveliness and
magniiicence. In front the peren-
nially embowered suburbs, the roar
ing reefs and the shimmering sea /;
in the rear the everlasting hills, with
the intervening valleys-Makiki and
Manoa-draped in misty veil; on
the right the Punahou slopes, adorn-
ed by the Lunalilo Home, and

The .1ha California, discussing
resolutions in favor of free and
unlimited coinage of silver, which
were passed by convention of silver
men at Denver, says:-
"Thc objection to the coinage of
standard silver dollars on the plan
proposed is that it would make the
United States the dumping ground
for all the foreign silver. Eighty
five cents in gold will buy enough
European silver TO make standard
dollar, and after being brought here
and coined, it is by law exchange
able for gold dollar, worth fifteen
cents more in the foreign market
Under the Bland law, it is the Gov
crnment that makes the profit, while
with "free' coinage it would be the
owner of the bullion. The advocates
of the proposal thought it would be
splendid thing for the silver miners
to he able TO coin their silver, in.
stead of selling it to the Government,
but on trial the advantages would
rather be with the spectators, for
the silver could be brought in from
abroad faster than it could be dug
out of the ground"

Min, in Hamlet.

This is the fourth annual tour OF
Geo. G. Min, the tragedian. 1t is
safe to regard him now as an estab.
lished fact In the field of the legiti-
mate drama. Commencing three years
ago, without the backing of capital Oh
experienced management, he has by
sheer force of will power, and exhibi.
ton Of undoubted dramatic talent,
forced his way to the front. To-day
he stands among the few prominent
tragedians of the country. We un-
derstand that his present company is
the strongest he has yet travelled
with, and that he is paying special
attention TO the stage settings of his
pieces.
Minis chief success has been
achieved in Hamlet, but he is declar-
ed by those who have seen him to be
equally fine in his other characters.
This company will visi:. this city
on next Wednesday, Nov. Is, and it
will be well worth the while of our
theatre goers to witness a perfor.
nance of this actor, whose experience
has been so unique, and whose sue
cess has been truly phenomenal.

Excursions to Florida.

Mr.. NJ. o. French, Secretary and
Treasurer, of the Florida Immigra-
ton Company, of Jacksonville, Fla,
werein the city Friday and Saturday.
They travel in a special car designed
and furnished especially for their
business. The car was switched of
and used as an office while the gen.
tlemen were in the city. All who
called upon them were courteously
received and given all the information
they desired about Florida lands.
The Company represented by the
above named gentlemen has for its
object the promotion of Florida i'm
migration and they have 100000
acres of valuable orange growing
lands, farms and town lots for sale
in the best parts of the State. They
are on their way to Chicago now to
arrange for a series of regular CHEAP
rate excursions during the coming
winter. They expect TO secure a
rate from this place, via New Orleans
of not exceeding $40 for the round
trip. The President of the Company
paid us pleasant call and we also
met both gentlemen in their Office
and found them to be very agreeable
and companionable gentlemen. They
are provided with maps, charts ant
circulars of their lands, which arc

who wishes information about Flori

ED. Souri, KENTUoKIAN:
In the absence ofold acquaintance
and loved ones at home, we feel that
we could not more pleasantly engage
a few leisure moments than by "dot-
ting" few lines for the columns of
your valuable journal, which to say
nothing of its exits abroad, regularly
makes its semi-weekly visits to al
most every family Of its Mother
county, "chock" full of the latest
news of the day. This is thrifty
little town of about 1900 or 1900 in
habitants, has a narrow guage Rail-
road which connects with the Allan
ia and Richmond Air Line Railroad,
thereby giving, not only the mer-
chants competition in prices of goods
between Atlanta, Augusta and Chat
tanooga, but affords convenience to
the growers of cotton in the way of
shipping to the point where they can
obtain the best prices for the staple.
We are sorry TO note that the mus
kadines have played out, but figs are
just in full blast, and are as plentiful
as ever apples were in Kentucky, aid
the opossum that takes up his abode
near one of these orchards is in Luck,
but sadly out of luck if lie fails to.
wash his feet well and wipe them
dry just upon the eve of his starting
upon midnight raid, as there is at
all hours of the night an old dusky
skinned ante-bellum cotton picker
with one of old "massa's" velvet
cared Beetles descendants accompa-
nying him for the sole purpose of
crossing the trail of this intruding
quadruped, which, if he does they
can trail him up and catch him so
quick the possessor can afford to sell
him for ten cents and then make a
largeper cent. on his Investment.
The chief beast of burden of this
country is chuckle-headed muley
bull, usually worked 10 small wag-
on and in shafts with as many more
of his race strung out in front of him
as Is required to draw the load. But
just here we would not fail to note
that this isnot the only COW kind that
inhabits this country, and the EVIL
dence of the fact is that three men,
(the writer being one) took, in four
days 81 orders for Camp Bros "En-
terprise Churn Power" the price of
which is only $3.50, and is manufact-
ured at Nashville Tenn, and old Ken

we had hoped to send you 50. for an
other years subscription to the
South Kentuckian ere this, but fate
was against us. We had So bet
with our boss on each of the Novem-
Der elections of N. Y. and Va. Tie
won the bets hence we had to defer.
We suppose it is unnecessary TO say
which side we were banking on
neither is 1t necessary to say that the
political sun doesn't shine like she
used to shine no way. AT the same
time this doesn't hinder the fair
danes of the country from having
lots of milk to churn and wanting an
easy way TO churn it, which is near
at hand. More Anon.
