General Grant.
MT. McGREGoa, Il. T.; July g.
At IL O'Clock last night Gen. Grant was
asleep. He was partially awake at 2
O'Clock and fully so at 2:30, when the
doctor attended him TO clear his throat
after food had been gwen. When the
doctor had finished he asked the general
how he had slept, and the reply, written
upon his pad, was, Quite well, doctor.
When I awoke half an hour ago I did
not ieeI the slightest degree sleepy and
feared my nights sleep was over, but
was asleep in minute or two
and have felt IS II
could hardly keep awake long enough
to take food from this time to $50 this
morning the general slept, after which
he again took food. He had his throat
cleared and was awake till about 8
O'Clock, when he dozed again. He has
do1ed through the forenoon. About
O'Clock General Grant wrote IN answer

MT. MpGREsOR, n. T., July T.
General Grant took food three times last
night, but at about O'Clock this mora
ing he wrote for DR.. Douglas that the
food was growing distasteful. The doc

fastened to explain that The food was
not less palatable, but that he believed

Fmhlems OF the Lime-KiIn clnh.

On motion of Calamity Hastings, the
matter Of national emblem for the col
ored race was taken from the table for
discussion. He favored beehive him
self, but would not be captious about it.
Professor Banuister favored the coon rs
an emblem. 1t represented industry, vigi-
lance and courage. Colored people were
aften referred to as coons, anyhow, and the
emblem would cut both ways.
Trustee PuIlback had given the matter
much thought but his preference was for
an old hen setting on about thirty-fom
eggs If that didn't represent industry
and clear grit he didn't know what could.
Samuel Shin had made up his mind that
the only emblem he would vote for would
be that Of colored man walking in a
shady lane with watermelon under each
arm.
Sir Isaac Walpole favored figure Of a
black bear; Elder Toots declared in favor
Of the beaver; Judge Cadayer would have
nothing hut the figure Of q black man
waving pillow in one hand, a thrashing
machine in the other and crying Yew-
reka,"
The discussion promised to bring forth
no fruit, when the President put stop to
il by saying:

Price OF A Cows TAIL~-In Somerset
county, n. J., the other day, Squire's
jury settled the value of a cows tail when
removed from the animal alive. A bad
boy figures in the case. He is Horace Cod
dington, whose father undertook to pas
ture Charles f. Hams COW along with his
own. One day while Horace was driy-
ing the bovines from pasture, be
thought it would be lots of fun to
tie the tail of the Hams COW to the tail
Of his fathers COW The joke was carried
out, and then the cows began to kick.
Finally the Coddington COW ran away
with her own tail and the tail Of the Hams
COW. The case, which had been in the
Courts year, was finally decided when
the jury gave Hams verdict for $40
