Saturday Ham Cherry arose in the
morning, took a bath, put on his black
suit, and after breakfast occupied him
self reading sacred books. He told his
folks that as it was so far to church,
and as the off horse had CALLED his
shoulder ploughing, he guessed he
would not drive thither. Everything
was quiet and peaceable about, and
Ham was glad there was a day left for
man to rest and recuperate. Rut Just
after dinner nsighbor came along
with a load Of hay. Ham stepped to
the door and called out:
Chow is this, John, that YOU are
working to-day? You should ga TO

"Haintgot no time to 20 to meeting
on week days; "answered John: "sun-
day is al! the time can spare for
church going"
The man drove ON: Cherry stood
and scratched his head meditatively a
few moments and then entered The
house: He told his wife to take q pen

the conversation Ham Cherry was
holding up the whift1etree with one

A Fine Painting Rescued.
Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
Just as you 60 into the Office of the
assistant secretary of the treasury you
may see on the right wall a fine por-
trait of George Washington in q gilt
frame. 1t is a bust picture in oils, and
is wonderfully life-like and rich in it's
colors. It looks something like Stu
art, but it has softer and not so
ford a. coloring. This picture was
resurrected within the last few weeks
by Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Coon from the dust room in the
basement, where it had been lying
for generations. The carpenter of the
treasury called Mr. Coon's attention
to it, and said he intended to clean it
and reframe it and hang it up in his
shop. Mr.. Coon thought it mil ht be
worth hanging somewhere else and had
it properly cleaned. When the dust
and dirt was removed, this beautiful
Washington appeared. No one knows
who painted it, but it is undoubtedly
one of the first pictures among the
many art works ofthe capitol.

I recollect q witty remark Of Artemus
Wards at a dinner party, when hs visit

Among the guests at the table was an
Eaglish lady of pronounced Southern
sympathies. Artemus Ward-or, as
he was better known to his friends,
Charley Brown-was in the middle of .
long TRADE against the enemies of the
Union, for he was loyal Northerner:.
Especially bitter was he against "'those
foreigners, for what he termed their
cowardly conduct toward the Union.
As he waxed more vehement the Eng
llsh lady grew redder and redder, and
her fellow guests glanced miscellaneous.

stopped short. He realized that some
thing was not exactly right. CHANGING
sqspiciously at the English lady he

realized that she was not an Amerioaa.

It Cured Him.
From the Norwich Bulletin.

FROM the NOrWlC0 bUlloGlQ.
I would like to tell you of an incident
of observation-disclosures that cured a
schoolmaster entirely of this often
comical mental defect. The bell was
ringing for school, and the masters
wife wanted pail of water and hod OF
coal. To save time, the master stroye
toget both the water and the coal at the
same time. He drew the water from an
old-fashioned we'll, and, getting his bod
filled with coal, entered the house with
his hands full. He walked to the sink
and placed the hod of coal where the
water pail was usually kept, and, taking
the pail of water into the sitting-room,
poured it into the stove. The kissing
steam blew open the stove door issued
from the coal chamber and every seam
in the stove, scorched the master, put
out tie fire and filed the house with
steam. Amid it all issued the agonized
shout of the schoolmaster: BLAST
my eyesl I've made another mistake !"
He. never made another. In the week
that he was done up in linen bandages
and goose grease his mind as we'll as his
body was restored to healthy condi-

GRANT AZ A SOLDIER,
lIr. Dlaino's Estimate OF HIS Worth -
Commander

1Ir. Dlaine's Estimate OF HIS Worth -
Commander.
Writing of General Grant, Mr.. Blaine
in his 'Twenty Years of Congress"
says:
General Grants active service in
the field closed with the surrender of
Lee. All the commanders of Confed-
crate forces followed the action OF their
General-in- chief. and before the end of
the month the armed enemies of the
Union had practically ceased to exist.
The fame of General Grant was full.
He had entered the service with no fac
titious advantages, and his promotion
from the first to the last had been
based on merit alone-w,thout the aid of
political influence, without the interpo-
sition of personal friends. Criticism of
military skill is but idle chatter in the
face of all unbroken career of victory,
and General Grants campaigns have
varied I'M their requirements, and. but
for the fertility of his resources and his
unbending will, might often have ended
in disaster. Courage is as contagious
as fear, and General Grant possessed
IN the highest degree that faculty which
is essential to all great commanders
the faculty of imparting throughout
the rank and file of his army the same
determination to win with which he
was always himself inspired.
zone popularity of General Grants
military career was his constant readi-
ness to fight. He wished for no long
periods of preparation; lost no oppor-
tunity which promptness could turn to
advantage. He always accepted with
out cavil or question, the position to
which he might be assigned. He never
troubled the war department with re-
quests or complaints, and when injust-
ice was inflicted upon him he submit
ted silently and did soldiers duty.
Few men in any service would have &C.
quiesced so quietly as did Gen. Grant
when, at the close of the remarkable
campaign beginning at Fort Henry and
ending at Shiloh, he found himself su.
perseded by Gen. Halleck, and assign
ed to subordinate command, in an ar
my whose glory was inseparably asso-
ciated with his own name. Self control
is the first requisite for him who aims
to control others. In that indispensable
form of mental discipline General
Grant exhibited perfection.
"When he was appointed lieutenant
general, and placed in command of all
the armies of the Union, he exercised
military control over a greater number
of men than any other general
since the invention of firearms. In the
campaign of 1864 and 1865, the armies
of the Union contained in the aggl egate
not less than q million of men. The
movements of all the vast forces were
kept in harmony by General Grants
comprehensive mind, and in the grand
consummation, which insured union
and liberty, his name became insepara-
bly, associated with the true glory Of his
country"

The Appomattox Apple Tree.

lcitef ~ ttftcthNdtt EA9NtffF.
There are but two or three obscure look
ing houses 10 the north behind the court
house, and In a few steps one comes in
sight Of the two or three memorable spots
Of that brief occasion. The first is the
spot where Grant met Gen. Lee for the
first time during the war. A thorn tree
formerly stood right opposite where is now
large gum tree at the roadside. At
that point the road drops into the bottoms
OF the AppOmattOx river, and right at the
crest u appears that Lee had either come
up with his horse or had halted there. and
Grant, coming through the court house
cluster, met Lee nj this crest. They sa-
luted each other, exchanged few words
without any ceremony, and arranged
where to meet 10 complete the event.
and then Lee went OF nOrthward TO
his headquarters, which were in
piece Of clear woods about one mile dis
tant, on the top Of the opposite slope, 10
the right Of the road. The road from the
spot where these gentlemen first met
winds a little downward, and is Of a
nearly blood-red clay; hardly any stones
are 10 be seen IN this vicinity. The Ap-
pOmattox river Is such slim little brook
or creek that one has 10 look carefully TO
distinguish il at the bottom Of the
fields. just beyond the stream
which gives mere ford at the
road Is "A field Of no great size which
bad been plouRhed and narrowed day
or two before ! came. In that field stand
about % dozen hardly mOre-large old
apple trees, probably the remnant Of a
formerly large apple orchard. The trees
appear 10 have 90 years growth. II Is "a
tradition that Gen. Lee raised a white
flag, or that his executive officer did 40.
In this field by one Of the apple trees. The
neighhOrs, or the more intelligent OF them,
think this Is the only foundation for the
apple-tree story
