WHO WERE OUR GENERALS.

From the New York World.l
The Tribune publishes an excellent
letter written by Gen. Grant to his
father Mr.. Fredelick Dent, in
April, 1861, at the outbreak of the
Its patriotic sentiments prove
that Grants heart was in his sword
and afford the key to his great services
in the cause of the union.
Two or three lines in that letter are
of historical interest. Gen. Grant
wrote: II knoW 1t is hard for men to
apparently work with the republican
party, but now all party distinctions
should be lost sight of and every true
patriot by for maintaining the integrity
of the glorious old Stars and Strips,
the constitution and the Union"
How completely these few words re-
tute the republican pretense that the
war for the Union was waged by re-
publicans and not by democrats as
well.
Gen. Grant never cast a ballot that
was not democratic up to the outbreak
of the war, and knew chow hard it
was for men to apparently work with
the republican party"
The best generals in the Union army
went into the war as democrats.
Grant, Mcclellan, Meade, Thomas,
Hooker, Hancock, Logan, Slocum,
Sickles and Buel were only a part OF
them.
Gen. Grants letter will serve to set
history right on this point.

THE NEW OUNARDER.
She Attains a speed Of 449 Miles In
One Day on her First
Trip to New
York.
From the N. Y. SUM-

Itr0m the n. I. sum-
When people look at a ship of mod
ern build, and particularly at a new
passenger ship like the Cunarder
Etruria.. which arrived at this port last
week on her first trip, they have great
difficulty in comprehending the size of
the vessel before them. As the Etru-
ria lay at her dock her load water line
at the bow was more than eight feet
out of water, and the black hulk tow
cred above that about as high as the
roof of all ordinary three-stOry tene-
ment towers above the street. The
keel of the ship was twenty-one feet
down under the water. If she could
be set down in Broadway, opposite the
postoffice, pedestrians would have to
pass up and down the street OIL each
side i'll siugle file, and people could
walk by means of a plank from her
promenade deck into the windows of
the top stories Of buildings on the west
side of the street. The pennant from
her MAN mast would float On a level
with the weather gauge at the top of
the tall flag staff on top Of the postof-
flee building. The seventh regiment
could find accommodations in her first
cabin, and three other regiments could
be quartered in the intermediate and
the Storage. If the power could be
economically transmitted, her engines
would run a large part of all the ma
chinery in the city.
The Etrur1a is the latest type of
can passenger ship, built on what
Capt. Bedford PIN Of the royal navy
calls the gas-pipe model. She is 500
feet long, and is about as deep as she
is broad, this model being necessary
because of the narrow gates to the
Liverpool docks. She carries $500
tons of coal for her trip across the
ocean, aud if she could be loaded down
to a draught of thirty feet she would
carry 1900 tons of cargo. British
s%hipowners hope that eventually New
York's harbor will be dredged out so
that she can do this, but until this is
done she cannot carry much more than
500 tons.
The Etruria was built chiefly as a
fast passenger steamer. On her trial
trip she reached a speed of "a miles an
hour. On her way across she covered
44S and 449 miles on two days, but
she was not speeded all the way. Her
builders assert that she will cross the
ocean in six days and seven hours, OR
three hours less than the lowest rec
ord. They say that she is fitted up in
a style far superior to any other ship
yet brought out by the Cnnard compa-
ny. Since the English government has
chartered the America, the Alaska, the
Oregon, and the Umbria, the Etruria
is the only six-day ship that remains in
the Liverpool service.
A rumor that so people who had en-
gagged passage OH the Etruria had can
celled their tickets on account of the
unsettled condition OF Europe was de-
MED by the agents.

HOW TO MAKE A CHEAP OIsTERN,
From the Farm and Garden.l

There are many ways to make a els
tern that require a larger expense than
the farmer can afford, and for all use
full are no better than the
cheaper ones we here recommend. All
the various filters recommended are
costly and soon get out of repair; and
we find that when a cistern is cleaned
bv a thorough washing ont with clean
water once a year,, in the early spring;
the water will usually be pure and
sweet the entire summer. Water VIII
purify itself in a cistern, for the foul
sediment will fall to the bottom, and II
the water is taken at the top, or at
least not the very bottom, the water
will be sweet, while the bottom may
be dirty. The reader will see at once
that a pump, if used, should not reach
the bottom bytwo feet at least, and If
the cistern is properly made, only a
little of the waite will be below the
pump. We give a perfect form OF a
cistern for both brick or stone walls,
or a simpler one where the dirt sides
of the cistern are coated with cement.
Where the ground is solid clay or
gravel. the best form of a cistern, and
much the cheapest, is made by digging
for it a small perpendicular opening,
about the size of an ordinary well, or
less, if the cistern is small. When at
the depth of two feet begin to enlarge,
and when the proper size is reached,
continue until the required depth is
obtained. The dirt, it solid, will not
cave. Take clean sand and make a
strong mortar of lime and sand, and
add to each bushel Of mortar, sufficient
cement, we'll mixed, to make the NOR
tar set quickly, or, as some prefer, use
no lime in the mortar, but II part
cement to four or five of sand, which
is better, but more costly. Plaster the
sides on the dirt, beginning at the bot
tom, and coat the sides of the cistern
with a full inch of mortar as high as
the brick work, and rs soon as the
mortar is set, make a mortar of at least
equal parts of sand and cement or pure
cement if a great hardness of wall is
required, and finish with a thin coat of
cement. Then dig a shoulder for the
brick arch to rest on, and arch over the
cistern with brick, and plaster the
brick with common cement to keep the
frost from scabbing the brick work.
Small Tugs of stone and cement are set
at the bottom of the cistern to rest a
plank OH which to set the pump.
Where the soil is sandy or loose, stone
or brick must be used. The stone and
brick can be laid in good lime NOR
tar, and the plastering done in cement.
The cost for lime, stone and cement
vary so much in different sections, that
we can not give the cost to make; but
the expense is small, compared with the
value of pure cistern water.

LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.

Public sentiment has been thorough
ly aroused at last, IN favor OF the
movement toward the erecting OF
Bartholdi's Statue, Liberty Enlight-
ening the World,r in the harbor OF
New York. Americans now under
stand that those among them who sub
scribe to the completion of this grand
work will perform an act of patriot
ism. and at the same time one of inter-
national comfy worthy of the enllght-
ened ideas permeating this nineteenth
century.
Some idea of the extent of the public
sentiment is shown by the fact that the
New York World has been able to re-
port subscriptions of over $4,000 IN a
months time, in sums averaging less
than 81 each, the great bulk OF these
contributions being in dimes and
quarters.
What a magnificent object it will be,
towering almost into the clouds from
New York's beautiful harborl 1t will
stand as a grand symbol of liberty be-
fore the eyes of every one coming from
the oppressed countries beyond the
ocean. At the gateway Of no other
nation could it stand with such appro-
priateness. Here it symbolizes the
fullest achievement of human freedom
and will forever stand to tell that
story. The committee in charge OF
the erection of the pedestal for the
reception of this great work have pre-
pared a beautiful statuette, as a sow
enir to send to each person who sub
scribes 81. Ought not the heart OF

WOODEN RUSSIA.
From the Baltimore American.


In the central agricultural districts of
Russia, the whole number of inhabited
houses is nearly 1000 900, and of these
only about $4,000 are built of stone. In
the manufacturing provinces there are
$500 stone houses in a total of 1,40O,-
coo dwellings. These figures give an
idea of the extent to which wood is
used for house-building IN Russia, and
the demand is pretty constant, for fire
is so frequent that, according to trust
worthy estimates, wooden Russia is
wholly burned down about once in
every seven years. A great deal of
timber is also used in the construction
of boats to ply the Russian waters as
o~ne-quarter of the entire number of
vessels thu employed are destroyed
annually.

OELLULOID WEDDING PRESENTS

["Halston" in the New York Times.l
Up at the Grand Central station the
other day l found an agitated young
maj and an agitated young woman.
Bride and groom they were, and it was
a wedding tour they were taking. In
a big Saratoga trunk they had packed
their silks and their broadcloths along
with a toilet set with which some gen.
erous friend had equipped them. That
toilet set was of celluloid, and in its
rough journey the celluloid had ignited
the good big trunk, and its clothes were
in ashes, and a wedding tour was
brought to a sharp termination. This
opens up sad possibilities tor the re-
cipients of wedding gifts.

WHY RAISE SCRUB STOCK :?

The difference between we'll bred
stock and the scrub is so marked that
we often wonder why farmers will per-
sist in raising and feeding stock which
does not give the best returns for the
feed consumed, and which when plac-
ed on the market is sure to be sold at
a discount. The difference in the
prices commanded by the two classes
Of stock should open the eyes OF the in
telligent farmer to the Importance of
keeping none but the improv-
ed animals. In these close times,
when the range of profits in every bus
mess is very small, the importance of
making a change for the class of ami
mails which will pay the greatest re-
turns in growth and in prices which
they will command must impress itself
on the minds of all thinking men.

THAT HYBRID MONSTER.
Richard Grant White.l

When at last it dawned upon the
pedagogues that English was a Ian
guage, or rather, in their significant
phrase, a vulgar tongue, and they set
to giving rules for the art
of writing and speaking it correct
ly, they attempted to form these rules
upon models furnished by the Latin
language. From this heterogeneous
union sprang that hybrid monster
as English grammar, before
whose fruitless loins we have sacrificed
for nearly 800 years our children and
the strangers within our gates.

A CURIOUS ELECTRIC FREAK.
From the Chicago Journal

TIfVu1 N SHfS"SO
Quite a curious freak of an electric
character occurred in the telegraph de-
partment of this Office the other day.
A package of lead pencils bound with
a paper band were lying between two
of the telegraph keys. All at once the
telegrapher noticed a small spark COM
ing from this paper band. The sight
was a novel one to him and he called
in another member of the staff to wit
ness it. They watched it for a minute
or two and satisfied themselves that if
left as it was it would soon cause a
blaze, and the package was removed.
This goes to show now a fire might
possibly occur and its origin lever be
explained.
