General Grants Book.

The local notices of the personal memoirs
Of u s. Grant are out under the auspices,
in this city, of Messrs. Boughman s.
Go.
In introducing the book it is really re-
markable that iiliteracy such as the follow
ing should be allowed to herald noble pro-
ductiou such as the above:-
''If Napoleon had written any authentic
memoirs of his eventful life, no one can es-
innate the number of editions that would
have been issued by this time.
If Wellington had penned his impressions
and experiences, they would have found
place in every educated Englishman's
home.
II Washington had written his personal
recollectons in the camp aud on the field,
during the long eight years war, etc, ETC."
1t would De supposed hardly possible that
those who have this book in charge, have
not heard of O'Meara's and Las Casas me-
moirs of Napoleon-personal memoirs of
the Emperor, mostly written from Napo-
Icons personal dictation by those two inti-
mate friends of his, during his life time, and
as positively authentic as ]. G. Blaine's re-
cent publication. These have always been
received as such, unquestionably, in Euro
pean circles! Have they not heard of the
voluminous wellington Dispatches"
written by tile Duke himself, sent to the
War Office from the different battleiields,
his daily, indeed almost hourly reports to
the Home Government upon war aud po!iti-
cal matters, as minute and voIuminous as
any records could be.
The complete history uf the Peninsular
and Waterloo campaign, with all details of
the various European courCs, personal no
tices of the different French, German, Span
ish, Austrian and Russian statesmen, their
int;igucs and individual bias, all in addition
to exact details upon every battle through.
out series of years, the condition of his
own army, that of his allies ard what he
could inform himself of in regard to his OPP
poneuts' forces, sufficient to fill several vol
umes, these are the famous "Wellington
Dispatches" whose existence as historical
archive, the writer referred to, seems en-
| tirely ignorant OF, these were all written
''upon the field, III the same way as Gen
eral Grants notes.
Have the writers Of this introduction
neither read of that yoluminous ledger Of
the grratcr part OF tile Revolutionary cam
paign kept by Washington and in his own
hand writing, copious extracts from which
appeared only very lately in the New York
papers.
We would wish to call their attention TO

The Bachelor Boat Clubs Noon
light Excursion.

The Moonlight Excursion on Tuesday
evening next July 81, given under the
duspicies of the Bachelor Boat Club,
promises to be one of the best, if not the
most enjoyable social event of the season.
To insure every one good time, nothing las
been left undone, so that all who go may
get value received for money invested. The
new and complete Steamer Brandy wine has
been engaged for the occasion, and the First
Regiment Band of twenty pieces with full
string orchestra will give delightful concerts
going and returning. The proceeds of the
excursion will be devoted to the erection
of handsome new boat house that the
Club may be on an equal footing with the
boating fraternity of the larger cities. The
boat will leave Fourth st. Wharf prr mptly

The Institute Lii .ary.

Nopubiic institution among any commu-
nifty is more highly deserving Of the support
Of the citizens than public library.
The Institute Library of this city is one
that the citizens of any community might
well be proud of. 1t is provided with well
selected range of popular reading of the
hest class of authors. A visit to the read
ing room is always a pleasant experience.
Everything in its surroundings indicate Or
der, rest, and quiet, 1t has an inviting air
of seclusion and all those conditions that
the student as well as the cursory reader 50
well appreciates in a public reading room,
and feels such qualification in experience
ing,
The managers of the Library are, how
ever, desirous of more extended support
from the citizens of Wilmington. Them ap
pears to be a need of additional subscribers,
also the laudable wish of wider utliza-
tion Of the great benefits offered by such an
institution among the people.
The probable reason that there is not a
more generous support accorded the mana
gers by the people, the new young readers
who are growing up among us is, that they
consider the fees too high. Five dollars a
year is large sum to tax the pockets of the
young people. AT the same time that sum
very much under-reaches the value of the
benefits derivablo from affiIiation with the
Institute Library Association.
The advantages obtained by free access to
the books, magazines, reference books and
papers to be found on the shelves and tables
are simply immeasurable, especially to the
| young, and cannot for u moment be measur-
ed by a limited amount of doAars. Yet at
the same time we think it will have to be
recognized that at the present time, at least,
those who are most worthily anxious to pos
sess themselves of its benefits are pecuniar-
lily unable to afford the subscription. 1t is
great pity if this be the case. There are
a number of philanthropic gentlemen, who,
in the most praiseworthy manner, give their
time and attention to the direction of the
affairs Of the Institute Library, aud there
are lone of our citizens who can excel them
in their most laudaole wish to see the minds
of the young generation grated with clean
literature, the best output of tic best mind.
Of our century.
1t is probable, however, that their efforts
may fail to reach the classes whom they or

to the rule, but the general rule remains
true and will in this case oppose the Times
wholesale diatribe.
Glance at the list of contributors to the
NtneteenM Century, or any of our highest
class magazines! That alone should, if not
reiutation, be at least signal to halt in
any overhurried pre7judgment upon the
class referred to, for they are the writers, the
speakers, the actors of the Victorian age, an
age not whit inferior in it its vigor to the

Cobblestone Pavement.

The method of paving streets with cob
ble-stones is the most ancient, disagreeable
and Objectionable of the various systems of
street paving. 1t can hardly be looked upon
any other way than as a relic of barbarism.
But, if the municipal Golfers cannot afford
the expense of better system, all that the
citizens can do is to submit to the perpetu-
alton of the cobblestane.

OL.IV.-NO.1 III.

In AN interview with the Rev. II. Ii.
Adams of the St. Paul's NJ. E. Church, he
disavowed all intent, in his memorable SER
mon of July 9th, of pallating the heinous
crime of the murderer Davis.
The pastor stated that the construction
placed upon the discourse by some of his
hearers was foreign to his feelings, as his
sole purpose was to emphasize the import
auce of correct methods Of living and to
arouse the commonwealth from its apathe-
tic and lethargic Indifference to its evil
surroundings.

The MAINsPRING of the liquor business is
its large percentage of profit. Commenting
upon the activity aui propagandsm of the
brewers, the Toledo Blade pertineuuy says:
"The second house in any new settlement is
beer shop, and the brewers are at vork
every moment introducing their poison into
communities heretofore exempt. They are
at work with oceans of money and with an
energy born of avarice that can never be
satisfied, eutrapping the best men and the
brightes' boys, aud making of them their
bond slaves. They are establishing their
poison mills everywhere They are making
an aggressive warfare upon humanity.
The evil has become system zed and the
making of drunkards is as regular busin-
ess as the grinding orwheat."

To Resuscitate Drowning Persons

In view of the many drowning cases oc-
curing during the summer months, the
following method of treating persons rescu-
ed from the water cannot be too widely
known. The person should be laid out
flat, the wet clothing removed as quickly as
possible, and dry blankets should be wrap
ped all round the body. Then artificial res
piration should be made by drawing the
arms away from the sides, bring the elbows
up together above the head, pushing the
arms down again aud around, SO that the
elbows meet over the pit Of the stomach,
aud SO on at the rate of about lG times in a
minute. AS the AIMS are brought down,
gentle but firm pressure should be made OF
the stomach just below the end of the
breast bone. Persons who we're apparently
dead have been brought to BY this method
after hours of persistent work,
