GENERAL GRANT.

Responsibility.

His secretivenence I'm Positions of Grave
Responsibility.
He was never a secretive man until
the positions of responsibility in which
he was placed compelled him to be
chary of giving expression to his
opinions. He then learned the force
of the philosophers maxim that the
unspoken word is sword in the scab-
bard. while the spoken word is sword
in the hands of ones enemy.
In the field there were constant Wis
itors in camp. ready to circulate any
intimations of the cOmmander's move
ments, at the risk of having such yalu-
able information reach the enemy; in
the White House, every encouraging
expression of an applicant for favors
was apt to be tortured into promise,
and the President naturally became
guarded IN his intercourse with general
visitors. When questioned beyond the
bounds of propriety. his lips closed like
a vice, and the obtruding party was
left to supply all the subsequent CONVEX
sation. These circumstances pro-
claimed him a man who studied to be
uncommunicative, and gave him a
reputation for reserve which could not
fairly be attributed to him. He was
called the American SphynX" and
'.Ulysses the Silent" and he was pop
ularly supposed to move about with
sealed lips.
When accompanying him through
New England the summer after the
close of the war. il was soon seen that
the stories of his reticenee had pre-
coded him. The trip was the first OF
those grand ovations with which he
was always greeted by the people
through whose communities he
travelled. The train stopped for q
few minutes at a small town in Maine,
and the people, as usual, took the OPP
portunity of extending a greeting and
delivering their words of welcome. As
the General stood in the doorway OF
the rear car, a tail. gaunt-looking
woman elbowed her way through the
crowd till she got near the platform.
Here she stopped, put on pair OF
spectacles with glasses in them that
looked about as big as the lenses in
large telescopes, and taking good
| look at the General, said. gasping fol
breath as she spoke: WELL I've come
down hyers a-runnin' right on the
! clean Jump, nigh on to tew mile, jus
to git look at the man that lets the
women do all the talkin'. Gen

place, the living rats devour any bones,

ing and protecting them. In nearly
every mine the men have one or more
of the little animals as pets, and these
are quite tame, coming out of their
holes to feed at lunch time.
When rats come into a new drift or
crosscut it is considered good sign
it is thought to mean that the mine will
strike ore. The other day when the
men were st work on the face of new
crosscut on the two thousand, seven
hundred level of the Sierra Nevada
mine, rat come in to them, travelling
along the line of the compressed air
pipe. When the little rodent was seen
some of the new hands wanted to kill
it, but the old miners would not allow
it to be hurt. They said It would
bring luck to the crosscut. So they
fixed up in the roof of the drift a box
as house for the rat, and placed food
near at hand, in order that it might
find its new quarters profitable as well
as comfortable. There is much talk
among the miners about the coming of
this rat. and the men in the new cross
cut are very proud of it. and have high
hopes on account of its presence.

Suspicious of everyone who can not

easily bamboozled by those who do.
they come into the Garden looking
upon every stranger as q robber and
an enemy. Their money, which may
be a greater sum and may be less, is
sewed away in the lining of their
clothes, or fastened in their coats. or
secreted In their stockings, or chained
to their waists by brazen money belts
and various other apparatus of torture,
and to get il out is much worse than
pulling teeth or coaxing pigs to market.
Only q few days ago an old Swede
brought his wife and one thousand four
hundred dollars in money over with
him. and it was an hour before he could
be persuaded TO get it changed into
American money, and then not until
he had been taken inside of the eE-
change bureau and the whole thing eH-
planned to him about nine separate
times. Put the same suspicious man
i'm the hands of a shrewd rascal outside
conversant with Swedish and that
money would change ownership in
very short order. 1t is a common say

knows more when he arrives there
than he ever does afterward. You can
not teach him anything. II he is in
the tolls of swindler and you try to
warn him in time to. save himself, he
will refuse to believe you. The most
