Our young friend who wants to write for TIE
TRIBUNE for pay must be content to work little
longer at his studies. lie is doing nicely for boy
of his age, but he must remember one must have
experience and practice before he can take the po
s:tion OF those who have worked hard for long,
weary years without pay, happy if they could find
few lines Of theirs in print, and encouraged TO
do still better things.

GRANT THE EzIE5IPLAR.
FRIESDs OF TIE GLIB: As celebrated my 10th
birthday short time since, and being the Of
New York veteran feel that l may enter
your ranks. Although late, may have the per-
mission to pay d tribute TO Gen. Grant? No other
man IN the worlds history has achieved such dis
tnctioE with little display of personal amb-
tion. One OF the first volunteers in the late civil
war, he, by The exhibition of The loflest patriotism
cool judgment. military genius, energy and per-
sistence advanced from the position OF Colonel of
an Illinois regiment to that of Commander Chicf
OF the armies Ct the United States. and now bears
the proud distinction Of having directed the
throw OF the most important rebellion the world
has yet seen.
while We owe to Lincoln, to Sherman and to
many others a debt OF gratitude we can never re-
pay, under lasting obligations to one who,
so much in our behalf. He descended the pathway
to the tomb beloved by his late comrades in-irlns
and honored by the entire world as no other has
ever been. Let Us therefore, cherish the memory,
revere the character and emulate the virtues of
Gen. Grait.-IIOyt V. Shutters, Ellington, Chau-
