George w. Childs says, "Grant did not
read very much, although he
always knew what was going on, but he de-
voted himself to works on history and
geography, and he also read a great many
novels. His favorite novel in early days
was Levers Charles 0'Malley, the Irish

Friday Night i'm New YORK.

The city was filed with a restless, moving
crowd hat made it's presence felt among
the million and a half inhabitants and
thronged every street and avenue With 81
moi OF people that has not been equaled
in size within the memory OF the present
generation. Indeed thsre are many who
express the belief that it ou~tnumbered any
gathering OF people in the history OF the
country. Every hour added thousands t. the
throng already here, and before the solemn
march TO the lead iero's last resting place
shal have begun. there will be almost twice
as many strangers in the city as there are at
present. The railroads and steamho at
routes TO the city IRE taxed to the utter
most. Extra trains and boats have been
running on all lines throughout theday, but
even with those additions their carrying
capacity has been insufficient to
date the crowd. Estimates OF the number
Of visitors in New York vary widely and
range from half a million to q million. As
many more are expected here on the early
morning trains.
The scenes in the uptown streets on the
evening OF the 18th was without parallel in
the history of the city. On Broadway, be-
tween Twenty-third and Thirty.third
streets, one has to elbow his way through
the crowd. People are walking four and
five abreast, but even then the pace is slow
and tiresome. Nine-tenths of those on the
streets are visitors, who struggle along
while leisurely admiring the decorations.
The hotels are simply jammed full OF peo-
pie. Even the most obscure house has
twice as many guests rs it ordinarily ac-
commodities, and it is even impossible to
sscur cots at the more prominent ones.

q ~Pittsbargh Girl who Converted Xsx
Lover but Could Not Marry.


William Flynn, an ex-menber Of the
legislature, asked in marriage Miss
Jennie Hook, of Pittsburg, Paz o pretty
blonde of Is. He was a Protestant and
she q Catholic, and the parents of Miss
Hook objected to a union, but the bar
rier that this difference built between
them was Rot strong enough to keep
them apart, for Flynn kept coming and
coming at stated evenings of the week,
and Jennie was always at home. The
parents persisted In their obiec-
tons, and told him to cease his
visits. Miss Jennie said she would not
marry any other man but Flynn, where
upon the parents consented to the visits
with the distinct un derstanding, how
ever, that they were to remain single.
But finally the wooer was won from his
strong conviction, and at the end OF q
i've years course of lectures to that end
he consented to be baptised in the
Catholic faith. OF course, this capitu--s
~lation, after so long a siege, was q sig
nal Of great JOY to the young lady, and
h went at once to the Episcopal resi-
dence, gave word that she had secured a
proselyte, and q time was fixed when she
might bring the young man and the
ceremony of repaptism be solemnized.
Under the forms of the Catholic
religion, IN eases of this kind, where the
convert has n o parents protesting the
same belief, it is necessary that some one
shall act in that capacity, become their
godfather Dr. godmosher and pledge
themselves to act IN that capacity and
keep q guardianship over them through
life. And this pledge is solemn and
perfectly binding. At tie time set for
the baptism the two lovers were at
hand, had gone together without other
attendants, and the solemn ceremony
was gone through with. When the
priest asked her if she was to act as
godmother the happy young
readily assented, eager that no techni-
cality should delay the consummation
Of her wish. And when the ceremony
was through the young girl, with flush
ed cheeks and hesitating words, told
how the wsrk of that hour had destroy
ed the barriers between them and that
they, too, would soon come before him
again to solemnize another ceremony
and to ask his blessing.
Soon after, when they wanted to get
married, the priest refused TO perform
the ceremony on the ground that the
young woman having become god-
mother could not become the wife OF
her convert. The good father comfort
ed them as best h could, and offered,
as the only consolation at hand. tEat
perhaps n petition to Rome might alb
solve her from her VOWS. They went
away, and this advice was acted upon
as quickly as possible. They waited
aaxieusly for two years, but hope so
long deferred grew sick, and at last the
bridegroom, feeling the injustice of be-
ing kept waiting so long, insisted on
being released. Since then he has
married a young lady of Penn avenue,
q school teacher being his choice. She
lived only a few months after the we'd
ding, and nov the petition to. Rome IS
beng agitated again. for the young
godmother that would have been q
wife is still unmarried and otherwise
unpledged.-New York Times.

Gen. Grants favorite war horse, Cincin.
natl, is TO have an honored sepulture as
well as his master. His bones now lie On
Admiral Ammen's farm, near Washington,
where he died some years ago. They are
now to be taken upand given to the Nation
al museum. Admiral Ammen says that
Cincinnati was the finest horse he ever rode.
Grants love for him was very great. He
once loaned him to Admiral Ammen to ride
to the front at Richmond, to inspect the
lines. When the admiral returned Gen.
Grants first question was not what he
thought OF the lines, but what he thought
OF the horse. Cincinnati had almost human
intelligence, and Gen. Grant used to direct
his movements rs il he was one ofhis aides.
Though he escaped the risk Of the battle
field, he broke his leg on Admiral Ammen's
farm and was shot.

100000 here and in Europe. The retail
price is So, the share to agents ard middle

rs cents, the cost OF manufacturing and de-
livery, $1.5O, leaving 10 cents clear to

the chances OF loss by dividing the possible
profits, and the net result to him and his
partner viii be a quarter to a third Of a
million dollars. Mark was a very solemn

made charge against Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, radical member of the cabinet
of employing roughs to break up conserv.
alive mass-meetings, and of suborning
perured testimony to escape responsible
ity for his acts. He followed this up by
proposing vote of censure on the right

followed the attempt, rendering the
grand object of the attack, to defeat the
liberals by efecting their disunion, an
impossibility. Following this up by urg-
ing conservative rersistency in the poll
cy of fighting the government on the
franchise question, which was of late ag-
itated, the united kingdom, by main
tanning an attitude of uncompromising
opposition in the house of lords, he had
the modification of seeing the govern
ment and tory leaders hobnobbing in
compromise. With the death of Mr..
Fawcett, liberal, he renewed his at
tacks on the ministry by supporting the

against the ministerial "free trade" can

the liberal cause by about two votes to
one.

Cowboys in School.

NEWARK ODSeTtSTs
The second intermediate school at
Cincinnati has had a sensation. 1t
has been discovered that several of the
boys attending there had planned to run
of to Texas and become desperadoes
stage coach robbers and heroes after the
Jesse James style.
The other Gay Miss Hoyt, a teacher
left her room for short time. and soon
Miss Harwood, another teacher, heard a
wild uproar coming from it. There were
screams, shrieks and great clamor. She
went in to see what was the matter and
was Mortified to find several of the big
boys chasing each other around with
enormous revolvers, while the girls were
white with fear. AS she entered the au-
dacious amateur cowboys pointed their
weapons at her.
The principal, Mr.. Fillmore, was called,
the boys were disarmed, and the father
of the ringleader was summoned. He
searched his son, and two long bowie
knives were found upon him, while in
his desk were couple more revolvers,
and two shot guns were concealed in a
convenient place. Little by little it was
learned that four of the boys had plan
ned to run away in May, and were get
ting an arsenal ready for the expedition.
One of the lads was to furnish the money
for the trip, and he had arranged to sell
his bicycle and one of his fathers cows.
The boys, who have been taken from
school and set to hard work, wished they
had never dreamed dime novel visions
of life on the Texas plains.

Greeley's Consciousness While Sleeping.
Oliver johnson in the Christian Register.
There was something very curious
about this habit of the great journalist
Horace Greeley's sleeping in church. II
was not sleep that overcaEe him, but
only somnolence-sleep of the physical
powers, but wakefulness of the mind.
The psychologist and the psychologist
may settle the matter scientifically be.
tween them if they can in spite of ap-
pearance to the contrary. Mr.. Greeley
was "a nearer as well as q doer of the
word" His eyes might close, his great
head fall upon his breast, or sway from
eide to side, drawing the body with it,
presenting the usual external indications
of sleep, but his mental interior faculties
were sometimes so far awake that when
the service was over he could give clear
account of the sermon, both as to the
subject, plan and matter. have tested
this dozen times or more, and never
found them wanting. It was to me q
very curious phenomenon, and studied
it with deep interest whenever an oppor-
tunity occurred. will give two illus
trations of this singular POPULARITY from

in fact, ministering toa congregation Of
which Mr.. Greeley was q prominent
member. Itwas in . hall on the west
side Of Broadway, near Canal street,
where DR.. Dewey mad preached aforetime.
On the way thither, Mr.. Greeley begged
me to keep him awake. We occupied q
settee withinsix feet of the platform and
right under the eye of the preacher. l
tried to keep him awake by the frequent
tuggings at his elbow and playing q by
no means soft tattoo upon his ribs. But
it was of no use. He was mid -nodding''
through the whole discourse, not little
to Mr.. Channing's annoyance, who OBJ
served my unsuccessful efforts to keep
his great auditor awake.
But now comes the wonderful part of
my story. Mr.. Greeley and l, when the
service was over, went back to the Ifi-
bune Office together. He sat down at his
desk at once, and made an abstract of
Mr.. Channing's discourse, filing some
what lees than column, which appeared
in the Tribune of the next morning. Mr..
Claiming was utterly amazed when he
cav it. and afterwsrd asked me If it was
possible Mr.. Greeley has made the re-
port. When I told him that saw him
while he was preparing it, and could GER
tify that it went to the compositor in his
own handwriting, and that, moreover, l
had myself read the proof, he expressed
the greatest establishment. "Whse"
said he, Il could not myself have may,

course, which, though premeditated, was
extemporaneous. He had not only
given the substance of what said, but
