From the Chicago Mail.
81. T. Case" said Wisconsin, man,
who sat in broker SehwartZ's Office has
a little grandson now who has altogeth-
or supplanted the famous ay-Eye.See
in the gruff milliOnaire's big heart"
When the millionaire's youngest daugh-
ter lost her heart it went into the pos
session of a young fellow who had no
money and who had simply u moderate
place in the office of the Racine Plough
Works" ooh, yes, take her if you want.
You don't get anything with her though
mind that; not ID penny" was the
answer which the sutton got when he
asked the old mans consent. There was
only modest wedding, and then the
young couple moved iatO little cottage
rented by the husband. "Giye 'em a
house? No, by! Let 'em bustle," was
the way the old man met a plea from
the girls mother. Didn't we have to
hustle, eh? Are they any better'n asp
The old man went along and spent
thousands on his gelding. The young
couple moved along In humdrum way
like scores Of Otaer modest couples in
Racine. The young man hustled" got
around every day, paid his debts prompt
ly and saved little money. Then came
a little youngsters boy. Rough old
Case got around to see it; got around Of
toner than that. He used to dance the
boy on his knee.
"Whatsher gem to call him?" Ia
blurted out one day.
"Ws thought we'd name him after
his grandpa" said the pretty young
mother.
"See here, young fellow" said the
rough man of money, who started life al
a blacksmith, "here is 100000 for you
I'll start you in business" So now thu
old man dances his grandson on hi
knees, the young maa hustles on hi
own account, the young mother looks
prettier than ever, and Jay-Eye-See'i
nose is broken,

Gen, Grants Cool Head.

No man ever saw Gen. Grant speak or
act as if he were surprised. His stall
officers would try to see il they could
not get him to exhibit surprise or as
constituent at some Of their stories or
by extravagant statements. They new
or succeeded. When every ONE else was
surprised he never gave any indication
that the matter OF the surprise was not
perfectly familiar to him. In the most
irving times be was tho coolest and
most self possessed.
"On one occasion 200 tons Of powder
in barge lying at the waters edge in
the James River, Immediately opposite
Grants headquarters at City Point, was
exploded by an Internal machine Of the
Confederates, blowing the bodies Of men
and mules and the debris OF the quarter
masters department into his camp, so
that the air was thick with smoke and
falling bodies, and every one was fright
sned. Grant did not move facial mus
Gle. With impurtable gravity he said
to a staff officer; 'Babc0ck, 20 out end
see what is the matter, Nothing ever
disturbed Grants equanimity. He new
err lost his head. You might tell him
the most startling news in regard to
the enemy, but his face would never in
dicato that it was news to him. III he
was ignorant of a matter about which
you were TALKING he would draw you out
in such quiet way that yen would new.
er imagine the whole matter was not
perfectly familiar to him."-COrrespon'

The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1885-04-07

On Sunday morning a crowd OF color
ed people were seen vending their way
toward the river, chanting weird songs
as they went, and attracting many per-
sons, who followed them to their destina-
ton. 1t proved to be a convert to the
Baptist faith who was being escorted by
the brethren to the place of baptism, and
after some delay, during which the can
didate had read to him several chapters
from the Bible, and a colored brother
sounded with a long pole to get a good
depth, the convert was immersed in the
beautiful St. Johns on the lovely Easter
Sunday the performance witnessed by
many hundreds Of both colors, to many
of whom it was as strange as it was in
teresting. After the ''brudder' had
gone some distance from the shore, ac-
companied by the preacher, he wheeled
suddenly around, and spoke in a loud
voice, bidding the sinful world adieu.
Our bargain counter is now longer and
we are displaying many specialties which
has been impossible for us to do before
on account of limited space.
DEvEREUx, RoGERo & Son.
The Episcopal church was well filed
with people Sunday afternoon, to wit
ness the Easter celebration by the Sun
day school, The church had been beau
tifully decorated with a profusion Of
lovely flowers, which were greatly ad-
mired by all who saw them. At 4 o'clock
the children marched into the church and
to the front seats, which had been re-
served for them, singing, each class bear
ing tasty banner, on which was insert
bed the names of the class, and accom-
panied by their teacher, and after prayer
and songs, Rev. Mr.. Knight made a
short talk explaining to the children why
the day was celebrated. A beautiful
| banner was presented to the class taught

EARLY CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
The Practice of jefferson Davis
While He Was Secretary
of War.
From Mr.. Davis Book,

From Mr., Davis Book,
Soon after my entrance upon duty as
Secretary of War, General Jessup. the
Quartermaster General, presented to me
list of names from which to make Sc
lecitonsof clerk for his department,
Observing that he had attached certain
figures to these names, asked whether
the figures were intended to indicate the
relative qualifications or preference in
his estimation of the several applicants,
and upon his answer in the affirmative,
without further question authorized him
to appoint mo 1" of his list.
A day or two afterward certain demo-
cratic members of Congress called on me
and politely inquired whether it was true
that l had appointed a wing to a
position in the War Office. Ger
tainly not 2 | answered. I'VE thought

An Address to the Citizens ofPalat-

ka,
To the voters of the City of Palatka.
We, the executive committee, appoint
ed by the citizens convention, appeal to
every good citizen, without distinction
as to race or color, who has the true in
terest of our beautiful and growing city at
heart, to support the Citizens Ticket. The
nominations upon that ticket were made
by the free voice and joint will of the
Intelligent, conservative, fair-minded
business men Of cur city. Never has its
financial affair: been in as good cOndi-
ton as they are at this day, and the city
which is sound financially can not fall.
Our city scrip is not only at par, but our
principal bonded Indebtedness is being
gradually reduced by the operations Of
the sinking fund. Two years ago the
city was rotten financially. What has
brought about this change: Not an in
crease of taxation, for not cent addi-
tional has been levied We answer, that
good, faithful, honest administration
has done tive answer that it is due to the
fact that we have had intelligent, con-
sentative reminded business men at
the helm. Never has the city grown
more; never has the capital flown
into it faster, than for the past two years,
and not even has a disastrous fire check
ed its progress. Why has this been?
Because capitalists and business men
have had faith and confidence in those
who have managed the city affairs. The
past administration has been criticised
because they, like men, yea, we say
honest men, have tried to protect that
which they believed to be city property.
What other motive have they had? In
the face of the severe criticism of some,
who we believe did not mean as much
as they said, our officers have discharg
ed their duty of office. They are as
much affected by their action referred
to as other citizens. The ticket we ask
you to support is non partisan, is conser-
vative. Upon it are men of both parties.
No ticket could be offered that would
nave upon 1t the name OF some man who
would not be Objectionable to some one.
should this cause any true man to throw
his means or influence in Civ
ing us a government incapable of man
aging our city affairs, and one of which
we would be ashamed? Again, we
appeal to you to support our ticket,
to lay aside personal prejudices, to sus-
tain the action of your convention, to
give us your influence and voice, and on
election day attend at the poles, acquit
yourselves like men, for every mans
welfare is concerned and he should dis
charge his duty not only by voting but
by working. Let there be no discord; but
harmony in feeling and unity OF action.
