General Grant and Nellie aartoris.

General Grant and Nellie aartoris.
Philadelphia Times.
It is no wonder that the arrival of
Nellie Grant Sartoris has revived her
fathers spirits. Nellie Grant was her
fathers favorite child and she was q
lovely girl. Being the only daughter,
he not only set great store by her but
had high ambition for her future. Even
at the moment when her heart was 20.
ing out to Sartoris her father was hop
ing that her future life might be prom
inent and useful one in this land. When
Miss Nellie came to the white house
she was still in short dresses, and hence
it is seen that she married very young.
Probably no other young lady in WASH
ington society at any time was more
highly respected or more sincerely
loved than was Nellie Grant. She was
bright, winning, atfable, discreet and
generous to all. No ladies who
have occupied the white house
had more true friends than Mrs.
Grant and this daughter. It was
but natural, then, that the sturdy old

own countrymen, one of its bravest and
best, lead this favored child to the altar
and then into life as high rs any one
In the country for which he had done so
much. This was no unreasonable as
piration, and her preference for Mr..
Sartoris was naturally a bitter disap-
pointment to her father. It was to all
Washington society. When it was an
nounced that this favored American
girl was to marry an Englishman chill
ran through the entire circle who enjoy
ed her oompanionship. But, while the
father was grievod, he threw no OBJ
stacles in the way of his daughters
choice, and the marriage took place. It
is said by those nearest to the family
that her going to a foreign land in.
creased rather than decreased the
fathers affection, and that as soon a. his
malady began to prey upon his iron
will his chief wish was for Nellie. It is
no wonder that her coming had given
him new heart. and there is much that
is touching in tho meeting of the great
soldier and this child. He NAV not
have much longer to live, but his last
days will be easier, for the light which
went out OF his house while he was the
ruler Of the nation has returned to make
his sick chamber cheerful and his last
days happier.

Afghan battle was fought b between
sixty and seventy miles south of the eld
Russian boundary and about fifty miles
north d, the; line now claimed by the
Russians, but disputed: by the Afghans
and English. 1t is, ii fsct;. very near

and the Murghab rivers, which units 4
little north of Penjdeh. and by the Herr
Rud, which bounds the territory on it's
western side, defining tho Persian
frontier.
The valleys Of these rivers are fruit
full, but it Is neither their agricultural
wealth nor their mineral resources of
the mountains that make the territory
so desirable, If the territory in dispute
is conceded to Russsa, it brings her
frontiers within q hundred miles Of
Herat, the acknowledged key to Afghan.
istan and the passes into India. While
Penjdeh may not of itself be, as Lord
Duferin sayE; north fighting about, its
possessions by Russia would le sub
ject of solicitude to England, WIS; con-
sidering the steady advance of Russia
southwark from Khiva, must necessarily
mistrust the motive of this extension Of
the Russian frontier. There could be
no especial object Iii acquiring Penjdeh
and the territory above described, un-
less there existed the Interior purpose OF
acquiring Herat, thus putting the Rus:
SLAMS in q position to Influence the pol:
icy of the Ameer, and ultimately alb:
sorb his entire dominions:
The more this question is examined
rs to its political bearings in Afghanis-
tan and Northern India, the tnc.e es-
sential it appears for English suprem-
acy and prestige in that quarter of the
world to stop Russian aggression where
it is, and if possible force its retreat
back to Khiva at least.

They said the train was an hour be-
hind time, end thst ,ipferm.tion made
us all feel put out and annoyed: there;
fore, when . boy Of about IA, poorly
dressed and having . trampish look,
came along the platform asking for
financial aid to get him down TO R.
on the train we were waiting for, Il was
but natural that one and all replied:
If you want TO- go to R-take
the dirt road! You look as if you were
used to tramping!"
He had no saucy word in reply.
When he went and stood in the light of
the window, and saw how he shivered
In the cold wind, and how worried and
spxiotts he seemed TO Ro, / grew ashamed
of my gruf words, L saw two o. three
others look him over as had done, and
I had no doubt they felt as I did. I
ought to have walked up to the boy and
said:
"Here, my lad, il you really want to
go down to R, I am willing to help
you take this half dollar. How happens
it that lad of your age is cold, rag
ged, hungry, and away from home and
friends?"
But I didn't. edged toward him,
ashamed, and yet. not quite ready to
acknowledge, it to him, and all Of 3
sudden he disappeared: / reasoned
that he had gone up the hill to the vii;
1age, and that his pretending to want
to 60 to R-was all trick to beat
honest men. When you reason that
way, the heart grows hard pretty fast,
and you feel bit revengeful. We
talked the matter Over-four or five Of
us-and the conclusion was that the boy
would die on the gallows.
Well, the train came along after
awhile, and it was moving away, after q
brief stop, when piercing shrek, fol-
lowed by shouts aud calls, brought us
to stop.

Yes, somebody had been run over

of the cruel wheels. Who is it? How
did it happen? It was our boy-the
lad who was to end his days on the gal-
lows. He had crept under the coach to
steal ride ON the trucks. There he
was; having only q few minutes to live
his face as white as the snow banks;
his eyes rowing from face to face-his
lips quivering, as twenty men ,knelt
down and spoke words of sympathy.

"Tim!"
''You shouldn't have tried it,"
"But I wanted to get to so
bad! I was up hear to find work, but
nobody would have me, and yesterday
I heard that mother was dead!"
"But anybody would have given you

The ruling passion is strong in death.
Dan Mace, the famous driver, is re-
ported to have given utterances to this
metaphor when he found he was near
ing the end: II have turned the home
stretch for the last heat in my race, and
I am close to the line." Similar was
the remark of the California stage-dri-
YER who had embarked fer the last
journey with Death holding the reins !:
"Bill," said he, in hoarse whisper. to
a sympathizing comrade, I'm on the

Forwarding Garden Vegetables.


When the gardener gives a plant a
special advantage the result of which
is to cause it to produce or mature
earlier than it otherwise would, he is
said to ''forward'' it. Tomatoes will
bear long before frost, if the seeds are
sown in the open ground. BY sowing
seeds in hot-bed and raising the
Plants, the tomato is forwarded. If
the seeds were sown last fall, and the
plants kept In dollhouse to produce
fruit in the early spring, that would
be ''forcing." Cucumbefs are forced
under glass, but they may also be for
warded. For illustration: to forward
the cucumber, fill some four-inch pots
with fine, rich soil. sow half a dozen
cucumber seeds in each, and set tho
pots in hot-bed, or stand them in a box
which can be set on the sill of the
kitchen window. Another method of
starting the seeds. if good piece of
turf can be had, is this: Take up a
thick, strong sod, and fit it to shall
low box with the grassy side down.
The sides of the box need not be over
three inches high. With a strong
knife. cut the sod into squares, which
should be according to the size of the
box, three or four inches square. Cut
quite down through the grass-roots and
tops, to the bottom of the box, to make
sure that the pieces can be separated
readily. Sow several seeds in the
earth of each piece of sod, which is of
course bottom or earth-side up. Set
this box of sods in the window or in a
hot-bed, as directed for the pots.
Either pots or sods must be watered
as needed. When the seeds are up and
the plants begin to show their "ough
leaves, remove all but two or three in
each pot, or piece of sod. Do not pui::
out the extra plants, as it will disturb
the roots of those which are to be left,
but cut them off with knife, or pinch
them off with the thumb and finger
nails, close TO the ground. -An,ericun

If you wish to write an essay, or to
begin a conversation and are at loss
for something to write or talk about,
only write or say II WONDER" and
something will be sure to follow. But
''show me the man who never wonders.
and l will show you the man who
never thinks,' said Voltaire. Asses
never wonder, they take everything
for granted and seem to be complete
fatalists. They receive the cudgel as
patiently as if it were preordained and
essential to the harmony of the uni.
verse. The intellectual people, those
who are not asses, investigate, think,
wonder and cease to wonder. but they
have no sooner ceased to wonder at
one thing than they begin to wonder
at another. 1 am willing to grant
that there is nothing new under tho
sun; but for all that we live in a very
wonderful world, and are constantly
surrounded by a world of wonders.
In fact, everything is wonderful, and
the greatest wonder in the world
would be to find anything not wonder
full. Wondering is the peculiar facul-
ty and privilege of human and intel
lectual beings. I have said above
that asses do not wonder; they have
not wit enough. l was going to say
that wondering may be applied as a
distinctive epithet Of the human spe-
cies, and that Plato might nave amend
cd his definition by this addition, but
| fear l should be wrong. Plato de-
fined man as featherless biped, upon
which Diogones, who was what the
world calls wicked wag, stripped the
feathers from poor unfortunate BAN
tam cock, and exultingly exclaimed:
''Ihere is Plato's man." Now, if
Plato, in order to render his definition
more definite, had defined him to be a
wondering. featherless biped, Diogenes
would still have been down upon him,
saying: ''Look at Plato's mana
featherless biped, wondering what has
become of his feathers!'- Brooklyn
