An Improper Plea.

Miss Ada C. Sweet, who succeeded
David Blakeley, as pension agent at
Chicago. twelve years ago, was recent
" requested to resign by Gen. Black,
commissioner of internal revenue, and
given thirty days before the resigna-
ZION should tak, effect. Instead of
complying. she telegraphed pert and
petulent reply and set up the claim
hat her commission not having cXpir-
ed she ought neither to be asked To re-
sign or be removed.
1t is known that another deserving
and worthy woman, the widow of Gem
eral James Mnlligan. is All applicant,
and will suc'.,.ed Mss Sweet. This.
hcwtver, does MT weigh with Repub-
lIcan pap Rs which are assailIng Cen
,ral Black for "making war on a
woman." Appeals for gallantry are
perfectly proper when the time and
the occasion demand it, bnt, in this iH-
stance, it is very much out of place.
Miss Sweet was q clerk under her
predecessor, Mr.. Blakeley, and did not
scrupie to take advantage of the
knowledge she gained in the office to
advance her interests at Washington
and defeat him for re-appointinent. In
fact, she practically ran the office,
while he ran, and finally swamped, th.,
Chicago Euening Post. The office has
been a paying one, and although she
has managed it well she should yield
it gracefully, and not put up the plea
that she is u woman as a reason why
she should remain in uudisturbed pos
session of it.
Had Blaine been elected, and SINH
lar request made of her, she would have
instantly complied, but as it is her Ge-
sire is to create sympathy and manu-
facture cheap political capital for the
Republicans.
"a public office is public trust"
and President Cleveland, being respon-
sible for the manner in which that
trust is discharged in all offices under
his control, has the right to judge who
is best fitted to fill them. Miss Sweet,
having aspired to the same rights aud
privileges as man, should have
shown herself worthy of them by COM
plying with General Blacks request,
'lIke little man." instead of inter-
posing the plea of sex.-Jeterson City

Gen. Grants Great Escape.

Now that it is quite probable that
Gen. Grants trouble is not cancer, but
something else, from which he is like
ly to recover, with what horror he him
self and his family must look back at
what might have been the terrible Com
seq quences to him of u mistaken dag
nosis of his disease.
About month ago, when his at
tending physicians had fully made up
their minds that cancer was eating
up his tongue and taucus, e consulta-
ton was held to discuss the advisal,ili-
ty and expediency of rssorting to a
desperate measure of temporary relief
1t was proposed to perform surgical
operation which DIR. Shrady thus
described in giving a report of the con-
sultation in the Medical Record of
March 2l:
"Such measure would involve the divis-
ion Of the lower jaw in the median line, the
eXtirpatiOn of the entire tongue and the
greater part OF the soft palate, to gether with
the removal of the liberated and infiitrated
fences and the indurated glandular structures
under the right angle of the lower iaw'
DR.. Shrady went on to say that all
this was considered mechanically pos.
slble," bnt that 'in the best interests
Of the distinguished patient the sur
geons did not feel inclined to recon-
mend the pr"ctdure," for "even by
such means there could be no guar
antee, in view of extensive surround
intiltration, that the limits Of the dis
ease could be reached without imme-
diate risk to life by the severe shock
to a constitution already much en-
feebled -
Gen. Grant, therefore, escaped the
operation; but now, when he is able to
dine with his family, expects to soon
drive out, even meditates a journey to
California, and both he and those
about him are looking forward hope
fully to his recovery-now, when it is
altogether proba BILE that his disease is
not cancer after all-it must make him
shu6der to think that only one month
ago his physicians were seriously con
sulting about an operation on him
which would have endangered his life,
and even if he had lived through it
would have left him without a tongue!
He has been in the midst of many dan
gers before, and is a man who is almost
insensibl. to fear, but the remem brance
of that terrible possibility can hardly
fall to make even him tremble SO long
as he lives. Surviving the surgeons
knife, he would have been a pitiable
object always, and life for him would
not have been worth living.
AS it is. he is exhilarated by the hope
of recovery, aui recovery without the
loss with which his physicians thought
he could alone purchase even a brief
prolongation of his days.-N. Y. Sun.

The Parting OF Lee and his Generals.

Amid the ruins Of their capital, with
bare, bowed hrads, in utter silence and
bitter tears, Lee and his Generals sep
arated and went their several WAYS co
homes destroyed. families broken up
and scattered, aud often into exile and
oblivion.
The final parting was in front of Lees
mansion in Richmond two days after
Appomattox. Lees house is an ordi-
nary square brick, standing alo'le on
Franklin street, Cne square from the
Capitol. All the other houses on the
| square are connected. Upon the after
| noon OF the second day after the sur
render people in that vicinity were sur
prsed to Sc come riding up the street
| from the south company of COnfeder-
ate horsemen. They were unarmed.
Their gray uniforms were worn, sOileu,
| and often tattered, their trappings old
and patched. They wore slouched hats
ami here and there was feather re-
naming of the once smart and iaunty
dropping plume of the Confederate. cav
aIryman. They were bronzed aud
Drowned and bearded. They sat erect
and came on with the splendid horse-
| manship for which they were noted.
Upon the collars Of some of the gray
jackets could still be seen the faded and
tarnished gilt stars, the embleins of tie
wearers' rank.
In front Of them rode Lee. His two
hands held the loosely swinging rcius
and rested upon the pommel His head
was bent and his eyes were looking
straight ahead from under his down-
cast brow. tut they seemed to SEE
nothing.
AS the troops cantered up to his old
home his horse stopped at the gate and
he aroused himself suddenly, as from ~
dr. am, and last his eyes upon the ia
miliar windows and then around over
the group Of gallant soldiers who had
followed his fortunes for four bloody
years and gone down In defeat under
his banner
The end Of 1t all had come at last.
He threw himself from his horse, and
all his companions followed bis action.
They stood hat I'm hand, with an arm
through the bride rein, while Lee Went
from man to man, grasping each hand,
looking intently into each face as
though he would press it upon his
memory forever. Then he turned ard
walk through the gate aud up the
steps to his door. AS servant opened
the door he paused with his left foot
upon the vrranda. his right upon the
last step and looked back for the last
time. Not n word had been spoken not
a good-by uttered. There was no sound
heard but that Of sobs as these unkempt
and grizzled heroes of hundred bat
ties leaned their heads against the
shoulders of their horses and wept.
Lee gave one look, and broke down
at last. His hands were over his eyes,
his frame shook with sobs, AS he turn
Ell quickly and disappeared INTO his
lonely house. With the closing of the
door behind him ended forever the wild
dream of the Southern Confederacy.
