FLORENCE WARDEN, THE NOVEL; ST.


Miss Florence Warden, the suddenly fa
nous author of the "House on the Marsh )"
is plain young woman with clear eyes
and rather strong face. She says of
her own career; "After being stub
born and intractable child under nurses
and governesses at home, I was sent with
my sister, to school at Brighton, where
she passed brilliant career as the idlest,
wittiest, and most daring girl in the
house; while l sneaked through q mean
existence AZ steady, industrious girl,
not clever, but very conceited At this
time used TO write poems ut night,
three or four lines at time, before the
gas was put out. After this we went to
school in France, and founded great
reputation at private theatricals. This
was my first experience as playwright
and manager. left school just in time
to learn through my fathers losses
on the stock exchange l should have
to earn my own living. became gov
erness for short time, and worked
very hard to qualify myself, not only for
teaching, but for novel writing. At last,
as I could get nobody to read my
manuscript, and as the lady whose five
children 1 was teaching said it was "a
pity should waste my time ON such
trash I dropped the trash and the
teaching together, and went on the stage
with my sister against everybodys wishes.
For three years we had horrible and
areary struggle with debt, with i'll
nenlth, with difficulties of all kinds.
Then on the verge of an illness from
which I was not expected to recover, /
wrote. in two months, The House on
the Marsh which ran in the Fam,ls
Herald without any success, but which,
happily for me, hit the taste of the gen,
eral public in volume form. when it had
been noticed by Mr.. Edmund Yates in
the World. Since then I have written
other stories. and have made my first
serious attempt at writing for the stage

WE ALL LIKE SHEEP.


"we all like Sheep the tenors shrill
Begin, and then the church Ia still,
While back aud forth across the aisle
Is seen to pass the Catching smile.
"We all like Sheep" the altos moan
In low and rich and mellow tone,
While broader grows the merry grin,
And nose gets further OF fran chin.
"We all like sheep, sopranos sing
TIL all the echoes wake and ring;
The young folks litter, and the rest
Suppress the laugh in bursting chest.
.We all like Sheep" the bassos growl--
The litter grows into howl,
And e'en the deacon's face Ia graced
with wonder at the singers taste.
We all like sheep" runs the refrain,
And then, TO make their meaning plain,
The singers altogether say,
"Wo all, like sheep, have gone astray."

THEIR LAST RFoRFr,

1t is said that the king of Dahomey has
captured thousand Frenchmen, and that
he is now fattening them for the table. II
is quite possible that there is some ex.
aggeration about the story, but if the
rannibal king has taken and announced
his intention of eating any Frenchmen
we may be sure that the last hours of the
gallant sons of France will be most EN-,
Uttered by the cruel reflection that they
are not likely to be properly cooked

Let us speak of him and think of him
only as the soldier whose fame has not
IL spot to mar its brilliancy. If his civil
career seems to invite critic SIN, let us
bury it out of sight and honor him as the
great captain of the age as the devoted
leader who led the armies of the Union
to triumph, striking the fetters from the
slave, showing the magnanimity of the
hero in the hour of victory as he showed
the courage of the hero in the dny of
battle, aud restoring to us the American
republic stronger, more honored, and
more glorious than it was when handed
down to US by our revolutionary sires. -

Gen. Grant was typical American
and remained one while he lived. Few
men had been so honored, so rewarded.
Few men ever bore honors more mod
rstly. He had earned all and more than
ever came to him, and showed no sign
that lie had. A genuine, unaffected,
trusting man to the end, he loved his
home, his wife, children, and friends in
simple, hearty, manful fashion. The
world honored him MS soldier, his coun-
try as hero and patriot; mis- family loved
him, his friends were steadfast in their
friendship for him. If he had fault it
WAS the very sympathy of his character
which sometimes misled him in regard
10 men and measures. His great and
simple faith in the purity and patriotism
of others, who i'll requitted it, especially
during the time he was President, was
unbounded. and caused him trouble and
regrets.-Philddelphta Inquirer.

him injustice. 1t was his friends who

PRESS COMMENTS ON TIE LIFE AND DEATH
OF oHN. GRANT.
q. Only two citizens Of the United States
have been FIRST in war and first in peace.
One rests Mt Mount Vernon. The other
died yesterday on Mount McGregor. II
we cannot add of Grant that he was first
also in the hearts of his countrymen, yet
we may say with truth that since
Washington no citizen save Lincoln came
nearer to filling that measure of praise.
There Ia no need to ask the world 10 for
get that the civil career of Gen. Grant
fell short of perfection. As fitly might
one ask forgetfulness that there are
spots on the suns orb. We may know
there are, but who is conscious Of them
in the full sunshine2 In this moment
when the glories Of Gen. Grants life are
in every mans memory, who dares say
that its defects impair the bril-
liancy to the vision2 Sincere pa
triot, brave soldier, pure-man
nered and pure.minded citizen--these are
Gen. Grants titles to the respect and love
of his countrymen now and forever. Az
Franklin conceived the Union and Wash
ington created it, so Grant preserved It,
What nobler service has any hero of our
century rendered to mankind2 Nor was
Gen Grant the preseryer Of the Union
by the sword alone. Since the sword
was sheathed no one has done more TO
revive fraternity among oil the people of
tine United States. History will record
and the world will long remember these
words, among the last traced by him
with pencil after speech had failed Il
have witnessed since my sickness just
what have wished to see ever since the
war-harmony and good feeling between
the sections. "-Neto York Herald.

A great man. n good man has passed the
river of death. Clearly cut as all his
shortcomings will stand out upon the
page Of history, still the worlds uni
versal verdict will be that Ulysses Simp-
son Grant was both great and good. Il
N idle to recount his deeds; they are part
and parcel of this generation. His fame
is the Inheritance of all the people of the
United States. and an adiniring world has
long since rendered him deserved hom-
age. The surviving thousands whom he
once led to battle, the people whose cause
he epresented--aye, those who once
were his foes-b bring to his bier to-day
the immortelles of their affection for the
noble qualities Of lis nature, and the
laurel wreath of their admiration for the
grandeur of his heroism. To the be.
reaved wife and children the sympathy
of n whole people-nny, more, of mill
ions beyond the seas-goes out in this
the supreme hour of their grief. The
old commander has fought the good fight
bravely and patiently to the very end.

The name of Gen Grant will be re-
membered by Americans as that of the
savior OF their country in n crisis more
appalling than any it has passed through
since the United States became nation
His fame as soldier, entering the Union
army at the first call Of the President,
and rising steadily by the sheer force of
his faithful and precious service until, in
command of all the Union forces he
crushed the stubborn rebellion on the
ground where IL had first shown formi-
dable front, will survive as long as the
history of our country is read II is
near quarter of century now since he
moiestly offered himself as n recruiting
officer to the governor of Illinois; it
is twenty years since he received
the sword Of Lee at Appomattox.
The country is in profound
peace, and the Union is not only re-
stored, but established ON the basis in
finitely frmer and more enduring than
before il was nssailed in the shock of
civil war There is deeper national
sentiment, a closer unity of aims and in
terests and hopes than ever before. The
passions Of that dreadful conflict are
dying out under the steady advance Of
common freedom and common Justice.
The wounds war made are healing or
have healed. But the new generation
that did not feel the heat or the appre-
hension of the war, in the south and in

The foremost man Of the nation has
closed career second to no other in the
history of the republic. The victorious
leader of the nation in the greatest war
of modern times, he was also leader of
the people in civil life. Perhaps no
single act of Washington's Presidency
was more pregnant with blessings for the
nation than President Grants unflinch-
ing defense of public faith and honest
money, Just as no military achievement
in our early history surpassed in splendor
the taking of Vicksburg, or in results the
fall of Richmond. Greater statesmen
than President Grant the country has
known. and men more capable of wisely
leading public opinion. But to him, both
as statesman and as soldier, the country
owes debt of undying gratitude. All
men have faults, and he was not exempt.
But thankful people would gladly for.
get them, and remember only the great
deeds and the noble traits of character
which remain for the admiration Of man
