Grants waggery.

General Grant was known. as The 81.
lent Man. He always preferred to Lis.
ten rather than talk, but be had an in
nate sense Of humor. as an anecdote re-
lated Of his career early in the war fully
attests. When hunting up JEFF Thomp.
son in the wilds of Missouri Grant and
his command had hard work to confis.
cate enough toscat Not hog, chicken
or ear Of corn wss to be seen.
One day Lieutenant Wickield, OF an
indiana regiment, with guard Of eigh,
men, halted his company in front OF q
spfuce-iooking farm house, and know.
ing that Grants forces had spread
around the country, be resolved to per.
senate the General Assuming q com.
manding cir, be asked for something to
eat. 2 as<ea1z q
.Who is it for ?' asked the lantern.
jawed old woman OF the premises.
"For Brigadier- General Grant," re-
piled the Lieutenant
The name worked like magic, and the
officer got square meal. Soon Grant
himself came up ard asked the woman
if she had suy thing to eat 'No,". she
snapped, "General Grant and his staff
have been here and eaten every thing in
the house except one pumpkin pie"
"Humph," said the General. "What'a
your name ?"
"Selvidge," replied the woman
Throwing a half dollar on the floor be
asked il she would keep the pie till be
sent an officer for it. She would.
That evening, after the camping
ground had been selected, the various
regiments were notified Of grand pa.
rade at six o'clock. In five minutes the
camp was in an uproar, and the soldiers
thought there was an attack to be ex.
pected At halfp six the parade was
formed, ten columns deep, quarter Of Q
mile long. This was the order read:

How to Put an Egg in a Bottle.


A writer in the Rural New Yorker tells
the young folk how :hey may perform
the magic feat OF putting an egg in q
bottle. Like many sother things 1t is
easy enough when you know how. Tsis
is the way it is done: Soak fresh egg
for several days in strong vinegar. The
acid of the vinegar will eat the lime OF
the shell, so that while the egg looks the
same it will be soft and capable OF COM
preston. Select bottle with neck q
third smaller than the egg. With lit
tie care you will have no trouble in press
ing the latter into the bottle. Fill the
bottle bali full of lime water, and 10 q
few days you will have hard-shelled
egg in hottie With neck third small
er than the egg. Oh course, you pour
of the lime water as the shell hardens
How the egg got into the bottle will be
q conundrum that lew can answer.

An Old Fashioned Fisherman.
Washington Post.

The President did not take much bag
gage away with him, and his outfit for
the vacation was in a large Saratoga
,runk, some substantial knock-about
tweed fishing suits being conspicuous in
lis wardrobe. He did not pay much at
tention to securing fancy flies to attract
trout, but will do most OF his fishing with
a pole cut in the woods and stout line,
with minuows for bait The President
is anxious to get awav from business
cares. although he has taken pains to ar
range it so that public interests will not
be neglected.

WE have received from Mr.. S. II. Gil
son a note, in which he says we cast re-
Elections upon his character in an article
published April 3rd, entitled, "The
Prospect" Mr.. ellison wishes us to
make known our objections to him, that
he may answer the charges and that the
community may know what they are.
Our objection to Mr.. ellison is that he has
the reputation of being a quarrelsome
man. and his very presence among many,
not in Salt Lake City merely, but in other
places, is an irritation and only helps to
thwart the object of his employment, and
makes more enemies to the law than
friends for it. These are our objections,
and we thinh them sufficient.

What IL Art.

This is a question that, while each APP
preciates the answer, few can correctly
define it. One might gaze upon pic
ture-the outlines might be correctly
drawn--but are the cOlors artistically
blended? So it is, also, with artistic
tailoring. Many attempt it, few sue
coed in it as an art. The French use a
mode Of defining good tailoring by look
ing at its tout ensemble, and if correct,
say it has the proper expression-and
that is really the art of good tailoring.
We have all the elements to make this
branch of our business one Of the largest
in the city. If you wish to see drt
demonstrated, then visit our second
floor. where is situated our tailoring
parlor, and which is under the super
vision Of qualified cutters and tailors.
