The Chief Characteristic of Gen.
Grants Military PrOWeSS.

Grant and Sherman each met many
obstacles before either sat down in
front of the strategical objective point
of his army. Butler and Sigel both
failed in their cooperation in Nir
gina, while Banks failed to cooperate
at all at Mobile. Grant himself entered
upon an encounter as terrible as that

the especial quality which enabled n,nt
to succeed. He pushed his army
through such month of ceaseless and
seemingly resultless battle as the world
has hardly ever seen; dealing, however,

antagonist could never recovet, IN

it's death stroke. 1t lingerd months

VIII Grant be Reinterredo

Elk, Senator ChaIfee is quoted as saying %
a reporter: New York is a commercial city,
and looks at everything at Il commercial
standpoint. Her citizens will never con-
tribute million dollars to the Grant mon
ument. Ii the money is to be raised, New
York people must contribute it. No aid
need be expected from other states, and yet
let his remains be removed to Washington
and the money could be raised inside OF
thirty days. think the idea OF a change
will be successfully carried out. When con-
gress meets steps will be taken to obtain
Mrs Grants consent to the removal. / be-
lieve that will not be hard to get.
But what of the generals message to Col.
Fred, indicating preference to New York
as the city that has bcfriended HIM in the
time ofhis need?
"-\l stuff; l don't believe he ever wrote
such II message. He never even much us
mentioned New York. His preferences were
West Point Washington or Galena. The

Each evil Liver
A running river
Or harmless merIiment."
A CentlIry's Growth in Civilian
ton.

A recent work entitled cold Times"
by John Ashton, is a mirror OF Eng
land, and in especial of it's metropo-
lis, at the time of the French Revolu-
ton, and is calculated to give rise to
abundant reflections on century's
growth in civilization. The open traf
fic in government offices by advertise
ment in the public prints is one OF the
most striking signs of corruption then
existing in the civil service, while the
gift to minors of Offices in the army
and the sale of commissions mark the
scandalous condition of the British
bulwark. "The Duke of York" says
the Times of March 20, 1895, "has
ordered circular letters to be sent
round to the colonies ofregiments, de-
string return to be Immediately
made to his office of the number of
captains in each regiment under twelve
years of age, and oflieutenant-co colonies
under the age of eighteen!" Shocking,
too, are the stories of kidnapping and
crimping for recruits. a few weeks be-
fore, the same paper had to tell friots
growing out of n sergeant's having
1.-TWO women Of the town genteel-
ly dressed up for the purpose of
inveigling young men into the house,
which they styled their lodgings,
where the deluded were instantly
handcuffed, and, about three or four
o'clock i'll the morning, sent off in
coaches, hired for the purpose, to the
country" Similar atrocities on the
behalf of the navy made life and per-
sonal liberty insecure to all found
abroad by the press-gang. Sailors
were made so scarce by being taken
from incoming and outgoing ships, Of
ten by riotous boarding, that on Jan
uary Z, 1874, upward of sixty sail
of merchant ships, bound to the West
Indies and other places" were detahl-
ed in the Thames. At Bow street, a
year later, a master bricklayer
drought his apprentice before the
sitting magistrate on charge of hav-
ing stolen scatfolding board, value
under ninepence; he had his choice,
either to enlist as soldier or to be
sent on board the fleet, to
both OF which he objected. The
magistrate then ordered a letter
to be written to the Regulating Cap
tain, Tower Hill, to have him
sent on board the navy" At this
time, Mr. Pitts plan of manning the
navy was to have the magistrates
s'take cognizance of all idle and disor-
derby people, who have no visible
means of livelihood"

THE SCRAPBOOK CJvRE
How Boys Who Read Dime Novels Can be
Cured of Their Bad Taste

Boston Herald.
A trustee OF the Providence public IL
brary has undertaken to cure the small
boy OF his interest in the dime novel,
and can be said to have succeeded. He
has met the antecedent with it's conse-
quent. He has gathered INTO q scrap
book the adventures OF the boys who
read dime novels, and has made it his
business in a quiet way to ask the
boys one by one who are interested in
these stories to spend an hour or two
In reading, not the imaginative story,
but the way in which the small boy
has attempted to realize how boys
ought to live and what they ought to
be allowed to do. 1t is said that the
dime novel boy usually reads the scrap
book, which Is rapidly increasing in
size as the fresh exploits of the dime
novel Adventures are added to it,
about two hours. He then lays it
down in disgust, and nothing can in
duce him to return to these stories
again. He asks the person in charge
OF the reading-room for a better class
of books.
This cure OF disease with it's own
poison has been so effective in Provi-
dence that the trustee in question is
thinking OF taking out II patent for the
process lest other libraries and the
heads of families and the guardian of
the small boy generally may appro-
pirate his invention without due cred
it. The scrap book alluded to is call
ed the Dime Novel Illustrated, and it
is suggested to this gentleman before
he goes much furthur that he should
put his scrap book to press, secure his
copyright ut home and abroad, and
stand up for honors as the only man
in the world who has so far succeeded
in outwitting the average American
boy by givinghim a sufficient antidote
to the evil which, in the form OF devil
ish literature, he is anxious to take
into his mind and heart, to make him
abandon these stories in disgust.
He is the first among moderns to
give point to the old saying, Look
ON this picture and then on that, -
and it is the other picture that is
powerful enough to wind up the dime
novel business. These are the days
of realism in literature, and this man
going further than Mr. Howells or Mr..
James or even NJ. lola, has substitu-
ted the pastepot and scissors for the
Imagination, gathering his horrors and
tragedies from actual life, in the firm
belief that if truth is not stronger
than fiction, it has wonderful power
at the right moment over an awak-
ened mind.

Creating Il Sensation in Church.

Considerable commotion was caused
in the Church of the Heavenly Rest, in
Evona, N. j., recently by Josiah w.
Alcott, of Philadelphia, who arose in
the course OF the service and informed
the congregation that Miss Dashiell
the organist, was his wife, and the
daughter of the Rev. DR.. Taylor, rec
tor of the church. Mr.. Alcott's story
is as follows: In 1879 Miss Nellie d.
Taylor, of Camden, n. j., eloped with
him one night and they We're married
in Philadelphia against her father $
wishes. After they had been married
DR.. Taylor fOrgave them and furnished
them with a home i'll Camden, where
they lived for one year. After the
birth of her daughter his wife was not
we'll, and her father knowing that Al
colt could not afford to send her
away to obtain the needed rest,
sent her at his own exne".sy to
Niagara Falls This, lie says, was a
trick of DR.. Taylor's to separate him
from his wife. Alcott says that he
followed his wife to Canada and thence
to this city, to Ocean Grove, N. j., and
her name to Dashiell while she was in
New York to prevent him from finding
her: Recently he went to Plaintield,
and succeeded in finding where Miss
Dashiell boarded. He did not inform
her of his arrival, but secured a lawyer
from Philadelphia, and the next day
called on her for the purpose of secur-
ing q reconciliation. Mr.. Alcott re-
manned in the carriage while the law
yer went to the door, and as soon as
the woman learned his business, she
refused to have anything to do with
him, and left the room.
Alcott went to church on Sunday
morning, thinking that his wife was in
huenced by her father and would relent
if he could see her face to face. A
number OF persons had been informed of
his intention and the hurch was filled.
The matter caused much talk among
the members of the congregation who
generally sympathized with the rector
and his daughter. Their friends assert
that after DR.. Taylor had furnished
Alcott and his wife with a home Alcott
failed to support his wife, and that DIR.
Taylor was compelled to take her
away from him to save her life. DR..
Taylor owns a great deal of property
in Camden, and is held in high esteem
i'm Plaintield.
Alcott says that he is after his wife
and child. He says that he was offer
ed $500 to allow her to obtain d.
yorce.
Mrs. Dashiell, or Mrs. Alcott, says
that Mr.. Alcott can get redress in court
if he is Wronged, but that he is afraid
to submit the matter to a jury. In
reply Mr.. Alcott says that he cannot
afford to hire lawyer and stand the

An official of the Smithsonian In
stitution at Washington, in relation to
venomous serpents, says: "The veno-
nous hoop snake, which takes it's
tail in it's mouth and rolls along like a
hoop, and the bow snake, the breath
of which is deadly, exist only in the
imagination. The idea that serpents
sting with the tongue is erroneous. An
impression prevails that the number
of poisonous snakes is great, but in
North America there are but three
species-the rattlesnake, the copper
head or moccasin, and the coral.
Snakes do not jump, they reach sud
denly forward, perhaps half the length

The Army OF West Virginia had but little
