GRANTS BODY SERVANT.

Grants old body servant is en-
ployed in the departments here. His
name is William Barnes, and he was
with Grant from 1862 until the Sec
ond year of his presidential term.
William is a good-looking colored
man, who. though he must be more
than forty-five years old, does not
look over twenty-five. He is very
proud of his service with Grant, and
delights to talk of the "reminiscences
of the time. He says Grant was the
kindest of masters, always the same
in temper, and never getting excited
or angry, whatever the provocation.
1t was William Barnes who probably
saved Grant from being assassinated
on the night that Lincoln was killed.
Grant arrived in Washington that
day and it was Mrs. Grants lnten-
ton to go with the general to the
theatre that night. She had ordered
that their baggage be taken to the
hotel, but William misunderstood her
order and had it transferred to the
Baltimore and Ohio depot. This was
not discovered until too late to 60 to the
theatre, and then Mrs. Grant decid-
ed that they would go on to New
Jersey and let the theatre 60. Had
William not made the mistake Grant
would have been one of that party in
Lincoln's box that night. AS it was
he had hardly gotten out of the city
before the news arrived that Presi-
dent Lincoln was shot and he had to

land Leader.

MONDAY LUcK.-Friday, as every
one knows, has for many years been
regarded by many people as an un-
lucky day. But there are other days
of the week which are regarded as
more or less unlucky, and not few
look upon Mondays as indicative of
what they may expect during the fol-
lowing days of the week as to their
business. There is large class who
will bemoan dull Monday, and some
of them will court good luck by SELL
ing to the first customer who appears
on Monday morning at nominal fig
ure. Others have for various rea-
SONS selected other days of the week
as lucky or unlucky. From the num-
ber of marriages on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, it appears that those days
are regarded as happy ones by the mat
rimoniallY inclined. The question of
the influence different days may have
upon the luck of a couple does not,
however, appear TO enter the minds
of those who run away from their
homes for the purpose of marrying.

What a mechanical affair-nay,
what mean little orphan in the great
family of words is the too often heard
monosyllable, "thanks.'' Especial
ly does it seem so when thought of
in comparison with the pretty, pleas
ing and proper expression, "thank
you." ssThanks" cannot we'll be
spoken without suggesting the idea to
the one addressed, that the speaker
is conscious of an occasion to be
thankful for, coupled with desire to
be considered "proper," and that
these are being strangled by the be-
lief that there is not time enough on
hand in which to say SO appropriate
ly, or else not culture enough in
stock to recognize the fitness of things
by being simply polite.
ssThanks" is cold, careless and un-
civil, and fails in the purpose intend
ed to be accomplished by its use. 1t
is heartless, meaningless and harsh
to sensitive listener, and rolls it
self off the tongue as if it was some
thing to be got rid of at the earliest
possible moment. "Thank you" is
warm, considerate and polite. 1t
would be the coldest kind of stole,
indeep, who could give the words
full expression, without both the
speaker and listener getting sight of
little ray of sunshine that would
otherwise have escaped notice. Prop
erly expressed they soothe and satis-
fly, and both find little well Of glad
ness springing up in their hearts that
had been an undiscovered treasure.
