GRANT AND MEADE.
The Hero of Gettysburg Expected To Bel
Lieutenant General.

The Hero of Gettysburg Expected To Bet
Lieutenant General
Philadelphia Letter to Pttsburg Commercial Gazette
see it going the rounds of the newspapers
that the family of the late General Meade of
this city, did not attend the Grant funeral. aud
arrangement between the widow of General
Meade and the family of Grant and General
Grant himself in his lifetime.
This statement is true. and the facts that gave
rise to it are we'll known to Philadephans; and
1t Is well known that the friends and relatives Of
General Meade speak in terms OF great bitter
ness toward President Grant. The cause
Of all this was the lieutenant-gen-
eralship. which became vacant on the ac-
cpssion of General Grant TO the presideney
Sherman became General of the armies aud
President Grant nominated Phil Sheridan TO
the lieutenant generalship over Meade. Up to
this time General Meade and Grant had always
been on the most cordial terms. and Meade real
ly felt the honor was due hm-a feeling which
was conceded In by many persons both in army
and civil stations, on account of Meade's always
efficient and often distinguished services in the
Army OF the Potomac, and particularly at tha
battle of Gettysburg. 1t is not disparaging TO
Sheridans brilliant war service to say that
Meade was equally as brave aud gallant sol-
dier. His longer service and seniority. his rela-
tions in this city and services at Gettysburg,
all seemed to indicate him as the officer to bo
nominated for the vacancy at the time. Grant,
however selected Sheridan. It was O very bitter
disappointment to General Meade as Philadel-
phians intimate with the family know. Meade
died in this city IN 1872 and had Grant only
foreseen this there is no doubt he would have
given him the honors of the Office.
Meade's services were always reliable. He was
not one of the brilliant generals of the war NOR
one who consulted the newspapers to keep him
self daily posted as to his record but on all occa-
sions did his duty in the position IN which No
was placed to tie best OF his ability and uncom-
plainingly In some particulars he resembled
Grant, being reticent and willing to take his
place wherever he could be of the most service.
Grant appreciated Meades aoillty as a com
highest praise OF him and up until the matter OF
the lieutenant generalship they were close and
intimate friends.

A Sensible Dog.
Animal Life.

few years since the crew of fishing smack
lying at anchor in Brixham harbor happened
day to be on shore, except one man and a
dog The weather being fine and the water
smooth the man threw the animal overheard to
have swim round the vessel. When tired he
wanted to be taken up but an unexpected
difficulty presented itself. The smack, being
light. was high out of the water, and her sides
SO perpendicular and smooth that had the dog
attempted to climb he could not have obtained
any foothold.
The man. however. got rope, at the end of
which he made a running moose. and then low
cred tito the dog, who, he thought. would have
sense enough to lay hold Of it in some way or
another and so allow himself to be drawn ND.
To the mans surprise, ne first put one of his fore
legs into the moose, and then his head. When
the man began to haul his companion up the
moose frightened under that part of his foreeg
the body. and SO prevented ali pressure
upon the animals throat In this way he was
brought upon deck, without having received any
injury in the ascent. We may well inoniru
what prompted the dog to put his leg, as well
his head. into the noose7 Could he have
adopted q better plan?

Whaling Ships Wintering.

In the fall, just before it gets cold that the
ice forms, the ships huddle together. and each
puts down two anchors at the bow and one
at the stern. and these hold them from striking
against the shore or one another until the ice
forms around them and freezes them in solidly
Then the anchors and rudders are taken up
and, with lumber which they have brought from
home, the whalers build stubtantial house
over the ship. Then they get the Eskimo to
build sort of snow house over the wooden
house, and, SO, with all this covering to protect
them, they manage to keep warm and comtorta-
bic with very little fire, however cold
it may be outof-doors. Sometimes they put
in double windows. the inside ones of glass, as
usual, and the outside ones being made of slabs
of ice like the curious windows of the igloos.
The white men do not live in these temporary
houses built on top of the ships. but in the cabin
and forecastle, just if they were cruising out
at sea- The house is simply put over the ship
to keep the real places warm. and right well it
does its work. This "house." however, is very
useful as a place for taking exercise for ship
carpenterne work. and for any small jobs that
may be necessary. The Eskimo also congreeate
there, especially about meal-time, when generous
whalers treat them with bread and weak tea
sweetened with molasses.

A writer in the Philadelphia Press gives the
following method of preparing skeleton leaves:
Dissolve fonr ounces of washing soda in one
quart of boiling water. and add two ounces of
slaked quicklime and boil fifteen minutes. When
the solution is cool pour off the clear LIQUID into
q clean saucepan. When at boiling heat place the
leaves carefully in the pan and boil one hour,
adding from time to time enough water to make
up for the loss of evaporation. The epidermis
Of some leaves will more readily seperate than
others. A good test is to try the leaves after
boiling them an hour. and if the celulous matter
does not easily run off between the finger and
thumb beneath cold water boil again n short
time. When the heshy matter is sufficiently
softened rub them separately and very gently
beneath cold water until the perfect skeleton is
exposed. TO bleach them. put large teaspoon
full of chloride of lime in quart of water and let
the leaves remain in it fifteen minutes. Dry be-
tween blotting paper under gentle pressure.
The vine, poplar, beech. ivy and pea leaves may
be used. The latter are the easiest for beginners
to handle successfully.

POINT IN STOCK RAISING.

The conclusions which the stock
raiser draws from conditions affect
ing his business must, if they con-
tribute to his profit, be direct and
practical, His is not u calling which
will permit a liberal indulgence in
the far-fetched and fanciful There
is straight road from certain causes
to certain ends, and it will not do to
fool along unexplored paths. If good
wool is wanted, the direct way to
produce it is to buy breed and raise
sheep whose wool is the kind desired
hot try to convert the bearers of
mean tleeces in bearers Of Il choice
article, If extra drauSht strength in
u horse is wanted it must be secured
in draft blood-not in attempting to
harden the muscles and momentum
Of the graceful thoroughbred.
There is no use in wasting time
and money in trying to do something
which cannot be done, or in trying to
adapt one thing to something else to
which it is altogether uusuited.
There is sufficient variety of breeds
to furnish any speciality which one
may desire, without attempting to
turn breed well adapted to other
purposee in direction in which it
will not go and never was intended
to go. Certain breeds Of cattle run
to milk, others to butter, others to
beef--each eXcelling in its line. Ii
you care for nothing except that it
excel in your specially, by all means
buy and handle that kind. If you
prefer good average in all these
without special excellence, buy ac-
cordingly. The same idea is applica-
BILE to all kinds OF stock.
In these days the man who fires his
charge into the air without effect has
no one to blame but himself. Times
and business conditions are full of
pointers for guiding his aim. Breed
ing and stock raising need not be
both well defined purpose
and positive results. With his judg-
nent trained by study and reflection
,very industrious stockraiser ought
% succeed. .--National Stockman.

Al last the jury has returned YER
diet in the famous Walkup case
wherein the young, handsome and
accomplished Mrs. Minnie W,Wa!kup
was accused of having taken the life
of her husband 10y poisoning. The
trial occupied many days Of the En-
pora, Kansas, criminal courts valu-
able time, and elected much atten-
ton from the outside world. Finally
about the middle of last week all the
witnesses having been cXgmincd and
the lawyers both for and against the
defendant having completed their
arguments, the case was submitted t0
the Jury, who, after having the mat
ter under consideration for nearly
forty-eight hours, returned a verdict
of mot guilty. While there may be
some who thought and still think
Mrs Walkup to be guilty of the crime
as charged, the verdict rendered in
the case will meet with the approba-
ten Of the great mass Of the people
throughout the country who have
watched the E1at,oa viii iitteres4 for
several weeks past, Indiyidur.ily,we
are glad verdict has been rendered,
and are not sorry that Mrs. Walkup
has been acquitted.

The latest and most ingenious way
of getting rid of reaches and bugs we
have heard of, is related of a citizen
of Schenectady, whose kitchen was
infested with them,
A servant, hearing that toads were
an antidote, caught three ordinary
,hop-toads and put them in the kitch-
en-. Not roach or water bug it is
stated can now be found in the house.
The toads have become domestfcated,
never wander about the house, and
are so clean and inofensive that there
is no objection to their presence.
Another use for toads is to employ
them for insect destroyers in the gar
den. They are determined enemies
of all kinds of snails and slugs, which
il is well known can in a single night
destroy vast quantity Of lettuce,
carrots, asparagus, etc. Toads are
also kept in vineyards, where they
devour, during the night, millions of
small insects that escape the pur-
suit of nocturnal birds, and might
commit incalculable havoc on the
buds and young shoots Of the vine.
In Paris, toads are an article of mer-
chandise. They arr. kept in tubs, and
sold at the rate oftwo francs dozen.
