a,s Taste ssr Fast Driving 1.sd to Two Tn
counters with the Police.
Among the well-remembered isnci,s OF
General Grant was that for fast-trottiug
horses. He became ct the close Of the war a
familiar figure on the streets Of Washington,
especially upon those which lead out TO the
country north Of the city. as he sped away in
his plain buggy and citizens dress. But he
WAS apt to forget that the city ordinances TOT
bade fast driving. and more than once he was
arrested for exceeding the rate Of speed which
had been prescribed as the limit 1t is due
to him to say that whea on Pennsylvania
avenue or In other populous parts Of the city,
bis instructive sense Of propriety would re-
strain him from transcending the law, but as
he nesred the boundaries he was sure 10 give
the rein to bis horse and to begin mskisg
. mile in three minutes, at the
least. On one OF these occasions .
policeman on horseback accosted
him as be passed, snd requested him to stop.
He promptly complied, when he was Informed
that he was violating the city ordinance, and
that 1t would be necessary for him TO appear
before city justice. The hour was designated
for the next day, but the prisoner forgot the
matter and failed to attend. The policeman
thereupon called on him at bis headquarters,
corner Of Seventeenth and F streets, and re
minded him OF the engagement The general
was not pleased at what he regarded as undue
pertinacity Of the policeman; but when told
by the latter that be had served under him Al
| vieksburg, where he learned that it WAS the
first duty Of q soldier and subordinate to obey
orders, the general yielded, and commended
him for the performance Of his duty. He &C
| cordiugly appeared before the Justice, VIII,
imposed the fine, which twas paid promptly
without murmur.
At about that time a change was made il
the city ordinance. Fast trotiing had beer
prohibited, not only within the boundaries o
the city but throughout the Distrc, OF Col
umbia. The authorities, upon due consider
ation, thought that the ordinance was unuec
esssrily severe, and repealed it as to tn
country roads. General Grant read casually
or perhaps only heard of this change, an,
concluded that II applied to the street
as we'll as the roads. His mistake got bin
into trouble q second time. He was arreste,
and taken before justice, as at tn
first offence. He plead the repeating ordi
nance, Of which he had heard; but he wa
excused on this occasion on the ground tina
he had been misinformed, and had acted il
ignorance OF the true nature of the repea inj
ordinance.
These facts, though trivial in themselves
reflect honor upon Gen. Grant, and upol
American institutions. Here the most popu
lar and powerful man in the union, while a
the head OF the army, is arrested by a police

The supervisors OF San Francisco have been
making a careful investigation Of the Chinese
quarter OF that city. They say that rnt lees
than 10000 people from the Celestial Il npire

make this remarkable statement: ala san
itary point OF view Chinatown presents . sin
guar anomaly. With the habits, mauners,
customs, and whole economy OF life violating
every accepted rule OF hygiene; with open
cesspools, 'xhalations from sinks and savers
taintng the atmosphere with noIious vApors
and sitting odors; with people herded and
packed in damp cell ,rs, living literally the
life OF vermin, badly ted and clothed, ad-
dicted to the daily use Of opium to the extent
that many hours of each day or night are
passed in the delirious s;upefactiou OF its in-
tiuence, it is not to he denied that, As q whole,
the general health OF this locality compares
more than favorably with other sections OF
the citv which are surrounded by far more
favorable conditions The only explanation
which they can discover for this is that the
open wood fires and constant snokiug which
prevail there iumigate the section.
