GRANTS FIRST NOMINATION.

A veteran of the Seventeenth Maine
Regiment tells the story of Gen. Grants
first nomination for the presidency.
The second Corps was marching from
Cold Harbor to Richmond, and one
morning, when about ten miles from the
Confederate capital, halt was made
for breakfast near an old church. Some
of the boys entered the church out of
curiosity, and the first thing that met
their gaze was an inscription in charcoal
upon the dead white wall back of the
pulpit. 1t reads:
Ulysses S. Grant may he be hung, drawn,
and quartered
The first impulse of the soldiers was
to take revenge by burning the church,
and this would undoubtedly have been
done had not one of the men approached
the pulpit and discovered another in
scription, which could not be read from
the further end of the church. It was
this
Hung with the laurels of victory, drawn in
the chariot Of peace, and quartered in the
White House at Washington.
The church was saved.
A distinguished officer here tells new
story of Gen. Grant. In one of the
opening battles of Grants last campaign,
Maine soldier received peculiar and
painful while not dangerous wound.
He was but short distance from Gen.
Grant, who at the time was talking to
Gen. Hancock. The Maine man yelled
with considerable vigor, and Gen. Grant,
turning to COL Moore, now of Deering,
said: Let that man go to the rear !;
he'll demoralize the entire rebel army if
he keeps up screaming in that way" At
s, that time Gen. Grant was in constant
danger of being killed

WHAT THE BRAIN DOES.

It is q well-known fact that people
whose limbs have been amputated tell
you that they can feel their fingers and
toes for a long time afterward-for years,
sometimes-and will even describe pains
and definite sensations affecting certain
Joints of individual digits. This is
readily understood when we remember
that the brain is the only part of the
body that feels, all sensations and i'm.
pulses being conveyed to it from differ.
ent parts by nerve fibres. Feelings of
pain, heat, cold, touch, and the functions
of the special senses are telegraphed to
it; and when the connecting nerve is
divided it may be some time before it
learns to localize truly the seat of the
sensation it appreciates. When we
knock our funny bones" we experience
thrill in the little finger and inner
border of the hand the fact being that
we have stimulated the bundle of tele-
graph wires-known as the ulnar nerve
which transmits sensations from that
finger and part of the next, in the middle
of its course, as it winds round the Joint
of the elbow.

When chief dies in Sitka his wives
pass to his next heir, and, unless these
relicts purchase their freedom with
blankets, they are united to their grand
son or nephew as a matter of course.
High strung young Siwashes sometimes
scorn these legacies, and then there is
war, all the widows resenting such an
outrage of decency and established ETH
quette. 1t is said, however, that hem
pecking is too small word to describe
the way in which the wives bully their
lords. Woman's rights have reached q
development among the SitEsns that
would astonish the woman suffrage
leaders.

THOSE STOLEN SPOONS.

Senator Beck, of Kentucky, is a per-
sonal friend of Ben Butler, and to him
the Massachusetts Ex-Governor related
the true story of the stolen spoons He
said "When was in New Orleans.
complaints were frequently made to me
OF houses being entered and plundered.
had these complaints investigated by
an officer of my staff, who reported that
they were immensely exaggerated. One
day while l was in bad humor, a prom
inent citizen came and renewed the
old complaint. If the United States
said he. has sent an army of robbers
down here, l can put up with it, but if
robbery is not authorized, want my
property restored He expressed his
opinion of the government, it's troops
and myself in language that was quite
earnest. So concluded to investigate
the matter personally. He told me who
was the hackman that had brought the
robbers to his house, whom 1 found and
compelled to tell the truth. He said
that he had driven some soldiers to
number of houses to plumber, and took
me to a place where the booty was
stored. To my surprise. the officer who
had led the gang was my staff officer
to whom 1 had intrusted the invest;ga-
ton. 1 had the plumber removed to my
warehouse until it could be claimed and
restored, and had the officer arrested,
tried, sentenced and shot, ard his family
thought he was killed in the service"
Said Senator Beck, "Why have you
never told this story before, and cleared
yourself of the offensive charges ?"
"Oh," said Butler, " they would get up
some other ID lie on me if l did"

THE ORIGIN OF THE HORSE.


Much interest says an exchange, has
been felt in discoveries relating to the
natural history of the horse, of the re-
mote ancestry of which noble animal
much is now known. Some time ago
1t was learned that America was the
original home of the horse, which had,
in the earliest form of which distinct
remains have been found, four toes and
spllnt bone, the rudiment of the fifth
toe. Equine animals with three toes on
each front leg and those with two toes
have left unquestionable evidence of
their existence. In recent issue of the
Edinburgh Scotsman is an article which
says that six or seven wild species be-
longing to the family of horses are
known, but these all belong to that
section of the family of which the ass
Is the type. and which are distinguished
from the true horses by the absence of
warts upon the hind legs, by concen-
trated hoofs, and by the long hairs of
the tail being confined to the ex remity
OF that organ. Recently, however, the
Russian traveller Przevalsky, while
lourneying in the hungarian desert
lying between the Altai and Tianshan
mountains of Tablet discovered new
species of wild horse, which seems to
have more claim than any of the al
ready known wild kinds to be regarded
as the primitive stock of the domestic
horse. Like the latter, it has warts
upon the hind legs as well as on the
fore legs, it has also broad hoof, while
the long hairs of the tail begin about
midway, being in this latter aspect,
therefore, intermediate between the
horse and the ass. It differs from the
true horse, however, in having short
erect main, and in the absence of the
forelock, while it has not the stripe
down the back found in many horses.
Przevalsky's horse according to an
account contained in Nature, keeps to
the widest parts of the desert, where 1T
is met with i'll troops of f ON five to fif-
teen individuals led by an old stallion
the other members of the troop being
apparently mares They are hard to
approach, being shy in disposition and
passing highly developed organs of sight,
hearing and smell. Przevalsky only
met with two herds in vain he and his
companions fired at these animals.
with outstretched head and uplifted
tail the stallion disappeared like light
ming, with the rest of the heard after
him." A single specimen subsequently
procured is now in the st. Petersburg
museum, and is the only one in Europe.
1t has since been pointed out by Mr.. w.
Watts that the figures of the horse
found incised ON antlers in the cave of
La Madeline bear close IT semblance
to Przevalslys horse There is, he says,
the same massive head, the same long
main, absence Of forelock, pointed ears,
short body, and powerful legs, while
there seems even All indication that the
long hairs of the tail spring first from
the middle of that oroan."
