''When Grant was in Chicago, three or four
years ago." said an army official, .'he lounged
about Sheridans headquarters a good deal. His
son Fred was at that time on Sheridan's staff
but was absent one day, and Grant took his
place at Freds desk and looked after the bust.
ness. A nervous. fdgety, irritable old fellow
came in to inquire for some paper that he had
left with Fred. When he stated his case Grant
took up the matter in sympathetic way and
proceeded after the manner of an over anxious
clerk to look the paper up The document could
not be found, and Grant, apologizing, walked
with the old gentleman to the door. AS walked
down the stairs with the Modified visitor he
turned and asked: who is that old codger? He
is the politest clerk that 1 ever saw at military
headquarters. / hope Sheridan will keep him,

Bishop Huntington ON Roller Skating.
New York Evening Post.
In paper on 'fWorldliness in the Church, |"
which was read by Bishop Huntington at a
meeting, in Syracuse, Of the Congregational
Church of Western New York. He said:
IF it had been proposed a few years ago to
open in each of our cities and villages large aud
attractive places of amusement where, at
night, any number of persons of both sexes
could come together for an exciting kind of
sensual pleasure, with the freest possible lati-
tude as to the acquaintanceship and intercourse,
and with no possibility of excluding the worst
elements of society therefrom, the whole moral
and religious sense Of the community would
have been shocked and outraged. Yet we have
this very thing at the corners of the Streets and
it is claimed that it keeps one class of our youths
from grosser dissipation. 1t is, however, forgot
ten that another class is wndown from safety
to immodesty. or even from virtue to vice. Doubt
less, discrimination and moderation would cor
rect the evil. But while virtuous and benevo-
lent ladies in the city are taking praiseworthy
pains to save female honor in India, China and
japan, ought they to leave the other more i'm
portant work close by undonep
