Adam fudea ~ H. ctnfa
Gen. Grant has often told me that
there CONES a time in every hard fought
battle when both armies are nearly OF
quito exhausted AMI IL seems impo ssblo
for cither 70 do g orr. This no belle rs
10 be the turning p8 n whichever aftsr
ward first renews the fight IS surc 10
WIN. The general or the nan who does
what can neither tr esp-c.ed nor re-
Quired is the one who succeeds.
This theory was exemplifed. At n
certain moment in one hattie the ma
tional troops were thrust hack nearly 10
the river. The ~rcinforeem ents had not
arrived; a part OF the command was
broken, thousands had been taken pris-
oner, and thousands had fed to tho
rear. At this juncture zen Euell came
upon the field. in advance OF his troops,
still miles away. 1t was the darkest
moment Of the day. He rode up TO
Grant, near the river, and, seeing the
crowds of cravens there, supposed that
all WAS lost. ''What preparations have
you made for %retreating, general he
inquired. Grant replied, II haven't de
SPARED of whipping them yet" But
if you should 10 whipped said the
other, how will you get your men
across the river, These transports will
not take 10, 600 men. IF l have to
cross the river said Grant, 10, 600
will DO all / shall need transports for. ="
His army was 30, 900 strong.
In battle, as in strategical move
ments, Grant always meant to take the
initiative; he always advanced, was al
ways the aggressor, always sought to
force his plans upon the enemy; and if
by any chance and circu ! stauce the
enemy attacked, his method of defense
was an attack elsewhere. AT Donelson,
as we have seen, when his troops were
pushed back on the right, he assaulted
on the left, an this was only one in
stance out OF a hundred. This, too, not
only because he was the invader, or te-
cause his forces were numerically
stronger, but bee ,use it was his nature
in war to assail. In the Vickburg cam
paign his army was smaller than Penn
b~erton's; yet he was the aggressor. In
the operations about Iuka his position
was a defensive one, but he attacked
the enemy all the same. 1t was his
idea Of wal to attack necessarily and
advance invariably, and thus to make
the operations of the enemy a part and
parcel Of his own.
Like most soldiers, Grant was indif-
ferent to fatigue in the field. He could
outride the youngest and hardest of his
officers, and endured the lack of food or
the loss Of sleep longer than any of his
staff. Yet he slept wien il was posi-
BILE, and never put himself to needless
trouble. So, too, lac never braved dan
ger unnecessarily; he was not excite1 by
it, but was simply Indifferent to it, was
calm when others were aroused. l have
often seep him sit erect in his saddle
when every one else instinetively shrank
as a shell burst in the ~neighborhood.
Once he sat on the ground writing a
dispatch in a fort Just captured from
the enemy, but still commanded by an
othor near. A shell burst Immediately
over him, but his hand never shook, he
did not look up, and continued the dis
patch as calmly rs if he had been in
camp.

Come by, and will show you some
thing that will do to make an item of, "
said George Booth, the butcher, to a
hungry reporter, recently. 1.-THE jew
ish rabbi has just been out to my
slaughter pen and superintendent the
killing of a fine beef and two muttons.
The beef is not knocked in the head as
we usually do, but he is strung up and
his throat cut. When the beef has
bled to death the butcher opens it, and
the rabbi inserts his hand into the
inside of the beef and feels its lungs
and other internal arrangements until
he is perfectly satisfied that the beef
is sound and ft for the followers of tho
rabbi to eat. He then has it nicely
dressed, and puts his brand upon the
four quarters of the beef. The brand is
in Hebrew and looks more like hero
glyphics than anything else. This brand
is a certificate that the beef has been
examined and pronounced good, and the
Jews will buy no other. The muttons
are examined in the same manner, and
on the fore shoulder of each one you
can plainly see the stamp Of the rabbi"
The rabbi will attend to the butcher
ing of these beeves and muttons three
times a week, and from the manner of
his examination the city could well do
away with the inspection of cattle; for
if there is the least thing wrong the
rabbi will discover it, and will not put
his seal on the beef.

Enfield, Conn, is the most conserva-
tive and most charitable Town ins the
state. So when the state board OF char
tics said she treated the poor the best
of any in the state, it is not to be won
dered at. Nineteen paupers live like
princes now in the town poor house and
drive out behind a fine pair of steeds
when they get a chance. Their quar-
tiers are on one of the ~pleasantest spots
in the town. A house with every con-
venenca gives them three square meals
q day and furnished room and warm
bed to every several one at night, while
eighty acres of good land afford exercise
for those who are able to take it. The
men Ani women eat at separate tables
food made from the best provisions in
market. and each drinks a howl Of
coffee or tea at every meal.
Most are too old to work, so they
gather in different rooms, we'll heated
and furnished, and gable the hours
away. Nearly all use tobacco in some
form, and the town INDUCES this petty
weakness by allowing each 20 cents
worth Il month. They are all ducked
in Il tath-tub once a week, too, and
made to keep themselves tidy. No
wonder their eyes gaze toward this
haven. and that when one gets about so
old, weary and neglected he seeks REF
uge there, where three sumptuous re-
pasts each day are served. followed by a
dreamy smoke and gurglings of remi-
mis- ences of eighty years or more Of ac-
tive life. Many who have money pre-
fer this place to any other and 70 give
1t TO the town to support them.

Camden, on Saturday, issued writ of
attachment on the horse and wagon stolen
by Henry Kuntz, chicken thief from
John Day, living on the outskirts of the
Ninth ward, this city. The detective
stated that he had been employed by Day
to recover the team, its owner agreeing to
pay all expenses if it was recovered. MIR.
Day now refuses to pay Mr.. Burr and in
tended to bring his team home on Satur-
day Constable Franks seized it,and will
hold it until the court makes some dispo-

tured, had about 70 chickens in his pos
session, which he had stolen from farmers
in Burlington county. He was given a
hearing before Mayor Bradshaw on Sat-
urday, but since there was no evidence to
hold him for any crime committed in
Camden county he was given into the
custody of Constable Cullen of Borden
town, where he was taken for trial.
