FORT DoNELsoN.

The day before Grant attacked
Fort Donelson the troops had march
ed 20 miles, part of it during a cold
night-Grant called a council of war
to consider whether they should at
tack at once or give the troops a
rest. The officers were in favor Of
resting. Grant said nothing till they
had all given their opinions then he
said: "There is a deserter come in
this morning-let us hear what he
has to say" When he came in
Grant looked into his knapsack.

With rare and grand nobility of
nature, Grant never sought to ayoId
responsibility for his mistakes, and
never once attributed to others an
ill-success resulting from the unworth-
mess of mis- chosen agents. A true
soldier to the end, he reckoned as
his own deed whatever he had done
through others, however much they
had deceived him. 1t was this trait,
SO noble in spiriF, SO natural in a
soldier, and so rare in public life,
which blinded multitudes to his
merits as President. Unmurmur-
ing he shouldered the faults ofevery
man he bad selected. and bore the
brunt of all.

The final taking of Vicksburg and
the previous campaign in its rear
were military achievements as bold
and brilliant as any of the century.
Matched with Lee, Gen. Grant found
way to advance through hostile
country, never giving wary and
powerful foe a chance to fight except
at a disadvantage, and crippling
the enemy at every step, while
holding every foot OF ground taken.
1t was said by brilliant soldier OF
Lees army that any more snowy
General in place of Grant would
have had his army destroyed doz.
entimes before he reached Richmond.
The country knows that the army did
reach Richmond, and ended the re-
bellion. Perhaps another might
have done as well, and st far less
barbarous sacrifice of life; history
records that NO other did. Perhaps
another might have saved the Ma
ton and conquered Lee, had Grant
been killed, or failed. But he was
not killed, and did not fail, and with
unstinted gratitude the Nation hail
ed him as the conqueror ofthe great
est rebellion in history.

Journalists have been excused
from serving on juries in India,
the Judge, in so deciding, following
the precedentlaid down by another
Judge in Natal. He went so far as
TO say that all reporters should be
excused from serving on o jury
because, through their presence al
preliminary examinations and in
quirics, for the purpose of publish
ing the same as news, they might
be in possession Of facts which
might come out in evidence, anc

Capt }. NJ. -Colvocorcsos was
rich Greek who lived in Litchfield,
Conn, and often had business IN
New York. One night in the year
1873 lie was in Bridgeport on his
way home from New York with
satchcl full of bonds and securities.
He had taken his supper at q
Bridgeport hotel and started for a
boat, carrying his satchei in the
dark. 4 shot was heard, and the
Captain was found in his last gasps
with bullet through his heart.
His sword cane was broken, his
shirt and coat were on fire, his
satchel was empty, his well known
seal ring was gone, and old horse
pistol was found under plank
across the street sixty feet away
ard som2 bullets ard powder were
discovered near the pistol. Capt.
Colvccoreecs died, and ne had
$4,000 insurance on his life.
! Eleven years ago this tragedy was
known as the Bridgeport mystery.
The Insurance companies put in
! claim, which could not be substan'
tiated and which all the facts were
against, thai the Captain had conf
mitted suicide. The heirs suec
the companies, and all the expert
testimony was against the theory
OF suicide, but the companies man

The Exposition.

So much has been written and
saidrclative to this great fair, that
the subject has grown almost stale;
and yet there are many who have
not gone, and Will doubtless be de-
lighted to hear something Of the
most important objects Of interest,
seen while there. We arrived in
New Orleans on the morning of the
9th of April, and proceeded di-
rectIy to the Hotel Windsor. This
large and comodioUs building was
crowded with guests; at times
having as many as two thousand or
more. The accommodations are
first class.
We visited the grounds. and
supposed that We could see all the
sights in less time than o week;
but VIC were vastly mistaken. There
is enough to proftably employ
ones time for moro than a month
If our feet had only kept pace with
our curiosity and desirs to hasten
forward all the time, VIC might
have traversod the entire Main
Building in one day-but alas VIC

nice stands to rest, presided over
by ladies. We being Louisianians
of course proceeded to that depart,

that was interesting and instructive
Many ancient relics, both in ar
and tapestry work, were beautifully
arrayCd before us. We were par
iiculariy interested in the depart
ment Of neodlework, china paint
I ing, art work on panels, screens
and indeed every device of ingenu
lily woman could conceive, of which
certainly reflects great credit OF
the ladies Of our State. Prominen
among Louisiana's exhibit is tina

many visitors. We would no
willingly leave this beautiful re
treat withouta compliment to Mis-
Stone; who presides with so mucl
grace and modesty over this Dc
partment.
Next in order we felt that Mis-
sissippi should claim her share o

Another of the Satisfied.

U. S. Senator Eustis, in an inter-
view with o reporter OF the n. 0.
States, on the 29th ult., makes use
of some very forcible language in
referring to President Cleveland,
which will be q surprise to his
many friends throughout the State,
as it is most certainly to Us, and it
is to be regretted. Nevertheless,
the action of the President in fore
ing Mr.. Kernochan upon the DEM
ocratic party, in the race of the
protest of Mr.. Eustis. is also fact
to be doplored, as it is we'll known
that Mr.. KernOchan is not Dem.

ular nominee of the party at the
last election for Congress in the
First District, the facts of which the
President was perfectly cognizant,

A mince-meat which has been much praised

seems to possess the virtue of suiting all
tastes, is made as follows: Take three pounds
of cooked lean beef two pounds Of beef suet,
five pounds of apples, two pounds of currants,
three pounds of raisins, one pound of citron,
three pounds of sugar, one heaping teaspoon
full of cinnamon, same Of ginger, same of nut
meg, one scant half -teaspoonful Of cloves,
same Of mace, same of allspice, one level tea
spoonful of salt, two wine-glassfuls of strong
brandy, four Of sherry, the juice Of two lem
ons, one pint of water in which the fresh peel
of two lemons has been boiled for three min
utes, and into which has been stirred one
tumber of currant or gooseberTy jelly, and as
much cider as is needed to make the mince-
meat sufficiently juicy. The meat, suet, APP
pies and raisins must be chopped as fine as
possible, and the citron cut into small, thin
bits. All bits of skin and gristle must be
carefully removed from the beef and suet,
and the suet especially must be minced to q
