AN EULOGIUM OF GRANT.
How ConkIing Nominated Him foi
President In 1850.


when asked what state he halls from
Our sole reply Will be,
He halls from Appomatox
And its famous apple tree.
Never deieated-in peace OF in war
his name is the most illustrious borne
by living man.
His services attest his greatness, and
the country-nav, the world-know
them by heart. His fame was earned
not alone by things written and said,
but by the arduouS greatness OF things
done; and perils and emergencies Will
search i'm vain in the future, as they
have searched in vain In the past, Tor
any other on whom the nation leans
with such confidence and trust. Never
having had policy to enforce against
the will Of tho people, he never be-
trayed cause or friend, and the
PEOPLE will never desert or betray him {.
Standing on the highest eminencc of
human distinction, modest, firm, simple
and self-poiscd, having filed all lands
with his renOwn, he has seen not only
the high-born and the titled, but the
poor and the lowly, on the uttermost
ends Of the earth, rise and uncover be-
fore him. He has studied the needs
and defects of many systems OF govern
ment; and he has returned better
American than ever, with q wealth OF
knowledge and experience added to
the hard common sense which shone so
conspicuously in all the fierce light
that beat upon him during sixteen
years, the most trying, the most por-
tentous, the most perilous I'm the ma
TONS history.
Vilified and reyleJ, ruthlessly as
perscd by unnumbered presses, not in
other lands, but i'm his own, assaults
upon him have seasoned and strength
ened his hold OH the public heart. Cal
umpy's ammunition has all been ex-
ploded; the powder has all been burned
ohcc--its force is spent--and the name
of Grant will glitter bright and i'm
pershable star in. the diadem OF the
republic when those who have tried tn
tarnish it have mouldercd In forgotten
graves, and when their memories and
epitaphs have vanished utterly.
Never elated by success, never de-
pressed by adversity, he has ever, IL
peace aud i'm war, shown the very
genius OF common sense. The views
| he presented for Lees surrender fore
shadowed the wsest prophesics and
principles OF true reconstruction
Victor in the gre atest war OF moderr
times, he quickly signalized his aver
sion to war and his love of peace by
an arbitration of international dis
putes which stauds the West, The
most majestic example of its kind it
the worlds diplomacy.
| With him rs our leader we sha'
have no defensive campaign. W.
shall have nothing to explain away
We shall have no apologies to make
The shafts and arrows have all beef
aimed at him, and they lie, broker
and harmless, at his feet.

SECRETARY LAMAR'S WAY.
A Lady visitor Whom He Appointed
Secretary Pro Tenn,

Secretary Lamar's health has been
by no means perfect since his induc-
ton into Office; yet, unfortunately he
has been more beset by place-seekers
than all other Cabinet Officers. His
patience may be threadbare, but no
rents in it have yet been discovered.
He listens to unfortunate men and
women TIL his physical strength is ex-
hausted and then takes refuge through
friendly doorway leading into the
apartments of the imperturbable, smil-
ing and kindly Mr.. Assistant Secretary
MudrOw. 1t was only day or two
ago when Mr.. Lamar's endurance was
finally exhausted, and it was absolutely
necessary that he should prepare an Of
fetal paper to be presented to the Presi-
dent and Cabinet. A somewhat impul-
sivc and most generous woman rushed
through the crowd asserting the over
whelming necessity for an audience
with the Secretary. She forced her
way through the throng and came
down into chair beside the Secretary
with much emphascs of sedentary eX-
preston.
IL must have talk with you," she
began.

very earnest woman; 81 must have

the smiling and kindly Secretary, 81

slider yourself Secretary Of the Interior.
Interview yourself am sure you will
be charmed and get all you ask. bid
you good morning." and the bowiDg
Secretary, hat in hand, glided into the
apartment Of Mr.. MuldrOw. The door
closed softly and the irrepressible Mrs.
j. stared at 1t in stupefed, blank aston.
ishment. She was foiled for the first
time. A modest throng, which had
been thrust aside by the good dame,
contemplated her chagrin with no little
satisfaction.
