TooMBs' ESTIMATE OF GRANT.
How Grant Came to Leave the Army
When y Young Man.

Wueh hOunk MAN.
From an Interfere in the Constitution.
"Grant was the greatest soldier pro
duced by the war" was the somewhat I'M
expected remark given by Gen. Robert
Toomhs.
snow that Grant is in his grave. what
is your estimate of his chaTacterY
HE was supplemented, kind-hearted
soldier, who had no more animOsity
against the South than De had against the
North. He was a West Pointer" re-
marked the General, with peculiar facial
expression, "and with West Pointers the
choice Of arms is a profession into which
patriotism enters but little"
did you ever have any personal rela-
lions with Grant as PresidentY
"Oh, yes" he replied. when the last
days of the war brought the thieving Fed
erals this way they htole my books and
manuscript | would not take 500, 600 for
them now If had them, and there was
time when l would not have taken $780,
600 for them. When Grant became
President | went TO Washington TO
endeavor to recover these papers. When
L entered was received quite cordially,
and stated my errand. President Grant
took the greatest interest in the matter,
not only assuring me that should have
my papers returned, but detailing an Of
ficlent officer to aid me In the search.
There is story behind this, however,
which partially accounts for Grants in
terest in me-"
The General then proceeded to tell the
story, which was quite interesting. The
Toombs and Crawford families had always
been quite intimate. Gov. Crawford's
sister had married a DR.. Dent, who after
wards died of yellow fever in Augusta.
During Mr.. Toombs' service In the Fed
eral Senate young officer named Grant
hau been c0urt-martialed in California for
paying out too much money, as quarter
master of the Fourth regiment, TO
his brother officers. John j. Orittenden,
OF Kentucky, approached Senator Toombs
to secure Congressional relief for the un-
fortunate Captain. He stated that young
Grant had married Miss Julia, the daugh-
ter of Frederick Dent, OF Missouri. This,
Dent, it was developed, was brother of
the gentleman in Augusta, and il was
hoped that Senator Toombs interest in a
constituent would Induce him to lend a
family.
sit was finally agreed" said Mr..
Toombs, "tbat the military committee
should report favOrnbly on the Grant case,
provided the young man would obligate
himself TO resign Immediately on the
receipt OF his commission To this young
Grant, whom / met in the corridor,
readily assented. True to his word he
resigned, and the next time | met him he
was President OF the United StatesV
"Did he refer TO the matterY'
sob, no; but he was exceedingly kind.
The hour for holding the Cabinet meeting
arrived and l arose to go, when Grant
said:
"'Don't go, General, would sooner talk
to you than TO my Cabinet"
The conversation then drifted back INTO
the bloody days Of the Confederacy, and
the agitation which led up to it.

Madame Atzeroth, who has a coffee
plantation near Manatee, is credited with
producing the first coffee ever grown in

coffee plants growing successfully, and

Florida can raise the berry.
Florida orange growers, 1t is said, have
learned during the past season that
oranges wrapped in straw paper bear
shipment much better than those wrapped
in tissue manila paper. The former pa per
is great absorber of moisture, while
tissue manila sticks to the skin Of the
orange If the fruit becomes at all damp.
w. S. Hart, of Volusia county. the great
honey producer Of Florida, produced over
$4,000 pounds of honey last year, and Will
probably double that amount this year.
His honey ranks among the best made in
the United States, having taken the prize
over all other exhibits Of this kind at the
recent New Orleans exhibition.
Bradford county's present orange crop
will not likely exceed the crop OF last
years. In the early spring the trees
were unusually full Of blooms, but owing
to the severe drought which followed,
most Of the trees shed more than
half the blooms. The oranges, however,
will be large and better in all respects
than they were last year.

IF Col. MApLEsoN, OF Her Majesty's
Opera Company, tells the truth about
San Francisco people in general and
San Francisco women in particular, IN
the Chicago interview reported in our
telegraph columns this morning, then
the fool-killer is neglecting his business
by leaving the field covered by the
Pacific Coast metropolis undisturbed.
Greater knowledge of, and more respect
for, the San Franciscans than OF and
for Her Majesty's blow-hard Colonel
induces the belief that he hasn't shown
strikingly marked regard for the facts
when telling how crazy the people OF
our western nelghbor went over hi
sweet singers.

THE PUZZLED COMMISSION.

A member of the Utah Commission
was interviewed in Washington, the
other day, as to the effect. the decision
by the Supreme Cour. would have on
the operations of the Commission in
the enforcement of the Edmunds law.
He seemed somewhat at sea in the mat
ter, the ruling against the oath that the
Commission had devised. to his mind
being in the nature of a check to the
effective application ofthe act. However.
he said that the Commission would
meet here on'the 10th instant and find
some means for carrying on the work.
II the reported utterances of the Com
missioner are true. the gentleman con-
fesses greater .inespacity and want Of
resource than any member of the Com
mission .has,beenaccusedo of. The oath
is no part of the Edmunds law
nor does the act contemplate
= the providing of any such cath
by. the Commission. The latter ha:
from the first misinterpreted its power:
and duties. 1t has assumed to be much
more than it is, and exercised larger
authority than the law conferred upor
it. The Edmpnds act provided for {
commission of five persons to perform
leach and every. duty relating to thu
registration of yeters, the conduct o
elections, the receiving or rejection o
votes, and the canyassing and return
ing of the same, and the issuing of Ger
tifcates or other evidence of election.
The Commission is simply an electioi
board. nothing more and nothing less
it takes the place of the election ant
registration officers of the Territory
and its sole duties are to apply the cleo
zion laws of Utah, not those of tn
United States nor of any State o
