Saved By Teiegraphy.

Two telegraph operators OF Philadel-
phia took an airing in the park. They
strolled as far as Lemon Hill, where
they threw themselves on the grass in
delicious abandon. Unknown to one
of them, his money, consisting Of
silver change, slid from the capacious
pocket in which it had been placed
and nestled in the grass. Shortly af-
ter the gentlemen espied two Of their
lady friends sauntering in their direc.
ton. The couples met, few nothings
were exchanged and they adjourned
to partake of cream.
As the bottom of the ice-cream
plates slowly crept to view under the
vigorous attacks of the Spoon-manipu-
lators, and the gentleman who was
unfortunate in the first instance thrust
his hand into his pocket to draw forth
his wealth to settle for the four plates
of cream and two of cake, a look OF
CONSERVATION crept into his open
countenance
In reply to query he remarked that
he was well enough physically, but
that he was mentally affected at the
remembrance of the pilfering Of al
apple from blind lady in his youn
ger days, He then gazed abstractedly
into space, and drummed withor
thought, apparently upon the table
with his fingers,
unknown to the ladies he used thu

love and RELIGION.

They stood beneath the Summer
skies and watched the twinkling stars
in ceaseless brilliant twink. 1t was a
night to bring the angels from the
blue that they might lay their gentle
hands upon the evening air, and,
touching every heart-string, fill the
world with harmony.
"And this is love-" she said looking
into his face.
"And love is religion" he continued
STOPPING to kiss the pretty pinkness
of her cheek.
"What religion?" she asked naively
presbyterian, or Methodist, or Bap-
tist, or Episcopalian?"
"None of these, angel mine," he
whispered folding her to his throbbing
heart "none of these it is Yo-uan'I.
tanan,"
Devotional exercises were continued
until late hour.

GEN. Grants Simple Habit.

The following anecdote of Gen
Grant, hitherto unpublished, show his
utter repugnace to anything like snob-
bishness or ostentation. Several years
ago, shortly after he came to New
York to live permanently, certain
noted artist desired to paint his portrait
Consent was given, and, the artist,
who is particularly noted for his ele-
CANT department and aristocratic
bearing, called at the house. The
general met him with his usual blunt
and open manner and invited him in
to the parlor, where the first sitting
was to be given. The artist removed
his gloves, daintily perfumed, got the
canvas ready, and placed the general
in position. He then began work
There was a knock at the door
"Comein )" said Gen. Grant.
1t was Mrs. Grant. She wanted
some money for marketing. The
artist struck a heroic attitude at his
easel and saw the General pull a faded
and much-worn old-iashioned pocket
book. He then un-wound q yard o.
string and got the money out and
handed it to his wife, who departed
Whether it was the long string or thu
veteran pocket-book that shocked the
refined utterly-too-utter sensibilitiei
of the artist viii never be known, bu
a painful expression gathered on hi
mobile face as he commenced worl
again. The day was warm. Tn,
artist perspired. He stepped to tho
bell-cord and pulled it "What do yo1
want?" asked the General.
q only rang for servant to brini
me drink OF water" replied the artis
The General never said a word bu
got up, and walked out. Intwo min
utes he returned, bringing glass c
water to the thirsty artist, who wa
confused and did not know what t
say. Grant never noticed it, but too
, his seat again to ofinish the sitting.

Ulysses y. Grant.

Ulysses S. Grant is dead. The shad-
ows OF his distressing maIady were Wis
ible on every side, as they called up
the echoes of the universal sorrow Of
his countrymen and in the lands Of
strangers of every civilization and
cline, thero were sincere respones of
sympathy and homage as the light of
his great life hickercd fitfully in the
socket. He had fully outlived the as
perities which distinction provokes,
and the errors OF his own career, the
common inheritance OF even the
wiscst, had been as freely forgotten
by the world as they had been frankly
regretted by himself While eminent
usefulness could have resulted for yet
many years from such life, so ripen-
ed in honors and experience, his great
work was accomplished and he left
nothing unfinished and the pro-
found devotion ofsthe nation that not
ed the ceaseless anxiety the ebb and
flow OF the life currents in the battle
With disease, soTowed as it saw the
end at hand, and yet sorrowfully vel
coined the end when it came. 1t was
the only relief from the terrible mala'
dy that mingled no ray Of hope with
its fearful agonies, and death was
peace

WASHINGTON, July 1S,-The Secre-
tary Of the treasury has addressed q
circular to importers and merchants
throughout the country asking their
advice on the proposed changes in
the tariff laws from advalorem TO
specific duties ON imported goods.
Mr., Manning in his circular says :
"An investigation OF the methods of
duty and appraisement Of imported
merchandise have shown that the tar
if laws are largely evadcd by under
valuation wherever duties are levied
adyalorem A suggested remedy for
this evil is the adoption of specific du-
ties. With n view to obtaining infor-
nation on this subject which may be
useful to congress in the fiscal legis-
latien, aapAsassanssialaiaAssth the improve-
ment of the customs revenue system,
it is deemed proper to ask the advice
of those directly interested in the va
rious industrial arts, in the country
which may be affected by tariff legis-
lation, and which suffers more or less
by reason OF the defective methods OF
the administration.
You are therefore requested to give
your views as to the feasibility of SIM
plifying the tariff and making duty
specific, so far as applicable to import
ed articles, such as are made or pro-
duced in the United States, in which
you are interested or with which you
arc familiar, with as full information
on the subject as you may be pleased
to submit"
He also requested them to furnish
a schedule showing the rates on spe.
cific duties, which in their opinion
should be levied upon the variou:
kinds and qualities Of merchandise
They are also requested to forward
such information as they may be able
to submit, showing the relative cost
OF the manufacture of the same article
in the United States and in Europe
particularly with regard to the cost O.
labor as affected by the rate OF wages
paid in the different countries, and tC
state how much total cost OF given
unit of production is increased in the
United States over all European coun
: tries, by reason of the difference 0
wages paid, and the rate OF interes
: on capital employed. Also to wha
extent within their knowledge in thC
special trade with which their bust
: ness is connected, the present law
imposing taxes on imported articles
have been evaded, and whether By
specific duties or other wise, and t
what extent the home industry witt
4, which they are connected has suffered
from this cause. They are invited t,
give the fullest expression to thei
q views on the geheAl subject indicat
ed, in such manner and form as the,
may deem best. Publicity will no
=. be given to names, location or fact
o relating to the business of individual

Followed by the brave of other lands,

Lavish honor shower'd all her stars,
And afluent fortune empted all her horn
Yea, let all good things await
Him who cares not to to be great,
But as he saves or serves the state.
Not once or twice in our rough island'sory,
The path of duly was the way to glory.
He that walks it, only thirsting
For the right, and learns to deaden
Love for self, before his journey closes,
lie shall find thestubborn thistle bursting
Into glossy purples, which outreddcn
All voluptous garden roses.
Not once or twice in our fair island-story,
The path of duty was the was to glory
He, that ever following her commands,
On with toll of heart and kness and hands
Thro the long gorge to the fair light has won
His rapid path upward, and prevaild,
Shall find the topplng crags of Duty scaled
Are close upon the shining table-lands
To which our God Himself is moon and sun.
Such was he; his work is done.
But. while the races of mankind endure
Let his great example stand
Colossal, seen of every land,
And keep the soldier firm, the statesman pure
Till all the lands and thro' all human story
The path of duty be the way to glory
And let the land whose hearths he saved frol

For many and many and age proclaim
At civic revel and pomp and game,
And when the long-illumined cities flame
Their eyerloyal iron leaders fame,
With honor, honor honor, honor to him.
Eternal honor to his name.
On God and God-like men we build our trust
Hush, the Dead March walls in the people ear
The dark crowd moves, and there are sobs an
tears:
The black earth yawns the mortal disappears
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust;
He Is gone who seemed so great
Gone; but nothing can bereaye him
Of the force he made his own
Being here, and we believe him
Something far advanced in State.
And that he wears trUer crown
Than any wreath that man can weave him.
Speak no more of his rcnown,
Lay your eatrhly fanees down,
And In the vast cathedral leave him.
God accept him. Christ receive him.
