The Generars LITERARY WORK.

New York Special.
A member of the Century Company said to-
night:
ut is not true. as has been stated, that the
arrangements for General Grants articles were
made after the failure Of Grant & Ward. The
negotiations were all completed long before that
time, and the articles have been IN the hands of
the Century Company since last August"
do you think General Grants book will be
proftable?'
Eyes He ought to make $780, 900 from the
book without much trouble"
s'Who is going to publish i'll"
"a publisher named Webster is to do the work,
but think General Grant would have done
much better if he had gone to some larger house.
The person he has selected is one whom Mark
Twain took up to do his work, mainly, no doubt,
because he was rather obscure. OF course, he
may be good enough publisher, but the point
is that Grants book ought to have been handled
by a large firm, which could have placed it at
once before every buyer in the land"

able for the maintenance of the gold standard,
inasmuch as the balance of trade is in our favor,
and there are prospects of its being against
us for some months to come Besides, there is
large amount OF gold in this country outside of
what is held by the government and banks, and
there is little disposition the part of the
American people to hoard their money

NEW YORK, March Rev Henry Ward
Beecher, in his opening prayer yesterday morn

ferring to the approaching death of General
Grant. He said:
Thou hast laid upon our hearts this morning
a great desire and vehement petition for him
that lies in sickness, before whom ere long opens
the gate to let him forth from life. Thou hast
granted him to be of great service to this day
and land and by him Thou hast borne the ban
ner of victory, and Thou hast out Of darkness
wrought light, and out of confusion order. Thou
hast laid upon Thy servant very heavy yoke
and burden and now through suffering he draws
near to the end thereof. God, be gracious to
him, and ill his room with Thy divine pres
ence and give to his soul the conscious
ness Of Gods fOrgiving love. May he be
patient and gentle, looking evermore to the better
life. May he endure to the end, and rise through
the unspeakable bounty and grace of Jesus to
the immortality of the blessed May all Thy
servants remember Him who remembered them
in the dark days. and grant, we beseech Thee,
that this family may be prepared and blessed
for Thy will. Lord where are our fathers2
They are with Thee. Where is the host of those
with whom we walked in cheer in YOUTH They
rest-they are gone. We are coming to the days
in which memory brings none back to us as
among the living, and day by day they that
have borne the burden and the heat are going
Who shall fill their places9 Oh, grant that there
may arise and rest upon Thy servants, the
young men, a responsibility that they may be
the servants of God, and so the servants Of the
motherland"
