L was just as badly deceived in my view,
of Gen. Grant
az asked him il he had ever seen Grant.
Yes, said he, my house was full of your
generals last night. There was Sheridan,
Humphreys, Meade, Custer, Ord ana
quite q number of others, and all were
quite lively and full Of fun, and all were
quite Jolly, with the exception of one
officer whom / noticed sitting in a corner
smoking and taking but little part in the
sports in which the rest were engaged.
They all went out Of the house but this
solitary, silent man, and as l was going
out he asked me where the pump was,
as he would like to get a drink. On of
ferlng to get some water, he said: "No,
sir, ] am younger than you; | will 90 my
self, and as l passed out he came up be
hind me. When in about the
middle CT the hall my
little granddaughter came run
ningS toward me, but the silent man,
spreading out both arms, caught her, and
taking her up fairly smothered her with
kisses, saying: "Th's reminds me of my
little girl at home and makes me home
sick" To the question where Is your
home, he replied: "Gslens, ILL.,, but l
have my family at City Point, and l am
anxious to get back to them" l said,
"Will you permit me to ask your name,
sir2" "Certainly; my name Is Grant"
Grant" exclaimed l, "Gen. Grant2'
and l stood there, awe stricken and par
alyzsd with astonishment, whilst my
heart went out after this man. l thought
to myself here is a man whose name is
nov in the mouth of man, woman and
child throughout the civilized world, and
yet with all he exhibits no emotion and
seems unconcerned and unmoved until
the little child reminds him of his loved
ones at home, and / fairly broke down,
as Gen. Grant had been pictured out to
us as a bloody butcher, and l had looked
for a man looking as savage as a Conan
che Indian. To say 1 was agreeably dis
appointed when l cav Grant expresses
my feelings but feebly, and now you give
me another surprise by your description
of Lincoln. Just here / saw the head of
the division advancing, and bid him good
evening"

Grant and the Uhinamen's Joke.

VranU ana the Cn1na1nen'S Joke,
Ingleside.
When Grant returned from China he
gave an amusing account of the difficulty
he had in making the court officials of
Middle Kingdom understand his posi-
ton In this country. They kept con-
stantly addressing him as the emperor of
the United States.
"But | am not emperor" insisted
General Grant. 81 was president OF the
United States, but l am out of office
now."
"You are an exile them" said one of
the mandarins in great alarm.
"No, l am travelling. l am now on
the way back to my country"
"Ah, then, you are the emperor still. "
And the moon-eyed celestials shook
their heads and smiled family. 1t was
the Chinese Idea Of a joke.

The black flag signaling that cold
wave was approaching, correctly foretold
the approach of last evenings storm, and
the cold weather which has followed it.
The signal service rather has the advan-
tage of the weather prophets in the
prophecy business, for it manages to tell
the truth about six times to their once
Fruit growers are much troubled about
this snap for fear it has damaged or de-
stroyed their crop of fruit. Many of the
tinued cold Of the last winter came out
all right, but have succumbed to the
present spell. 1t is strange that they
should withstand weather when the
thermometer is between twenty and thirty
degrees below zero, and then be nipped
and the fruit badly killed by little cold
wave like the present. But it is not the
cold weather which kills 50 much as it Is
the alternate cold and warm weather.
Especially is this dangerous at this time
Of the year, when the sap begins to flow
as soon as warm weather comes. This
sap flows into the buds, which have been
lying dormant all winter, when the frost
is out of the ground and the warmth OF
spring is diffused about the roots. If
growth begins in the buds, and the sap
begins to fill them out ready to burst, it
does not take extremely cold weather to
blast the bud and greatly lessen the crop
which the tree would otherwise have
borne. Peaches, grapes, raspberries, and
small fruits generally are very easily dam,
aged in this way. Opinions seem to be
divided as to whether last nights frigid
weather did any harm or not.
