The Chicago Journal has OF late re-
ceiyed great mass OF alleged poetry"
on General Grant, but it has too pro-
round respect for the dead General
TO insult his memory by publishing
such mawkish nonsense in his honor.
And OF all the absurd caricatures
published in some of the newspapers
as pictures OF General Grant, the Jour
nal says aThe most OF them bear no
likeness whateverto the dead hero and
patriot. There is no resemblance be-
tween the features in these pictures
and those which they purport to rep
resent"

To rid the state OF a troublesome
pest two years ago, the New Hamp-
shire legislature passed law granting
ten cents tail on woodchueks, pro-
yided none were killed on Sunday. As
consequence nearly every farmer
went into woodchuck raising. Since
then Ia, 900 bounties have been paid
and 10000 more remain to be adj
justed. and the tax payers are calling
a halt on thewoodchuck business. An
other case of over-production, under
the stimulus OF bounty.

The South has done a great deal
towards putting itself in accord
with the North, by paying honor to
the mepory Of General Grant. 1t
recogsikes his merits as a soldier; il
remembers his magnanimity at Apo
mattox. In the words of the New
Orleans Times-Democrat: "yanquish-
cd as was the Southby his arms, in his
chivniric Kindness we were doubly van
quished at Appomattox.p The pas
sions engendered by civil war are the
deepest aud least irradieable OF all

religious aninosity, and therefore 1t Is
n pleasure 70 know that it has not
taken bat twenty years to heal the
breach between tho North aud South.

wins latest plan for abating the Back Cove
nuisance which was approved by the Alder
men Monday night. In this plan the inter
cepting sewer has no existence. It is simply
proposed to dredge several deep channels to
the main channel in Back Cove and con-
duct the sewers into them. This, Mr.. Good
win thinks, will meet all the practical re-
qulrements of the city for the present and
many years to come. The chief attraction of
this plan is its chespness as compared with
the other plans proposed. The large expendi-
ture called for under Mr.. Shedd's plan and
the former plan of Mr.. Goodwin was an OBJ
stscle which many people, in the city's pres
emit financial condition, deemed practically in
surmountable. If this latest plan furnishes
only temporary relief it is much better to
adopt 1t then to spend the summer discussing
more elaborate plans with Back Cove left
In its present condition. 1t is to be hoped
the work will be energetically pushed, and
that nobody will discover what he thinks is
q better scheme before this one is fairly un-
derway.

The Glover Tea Cure.
[Chicago Times.

United States Senator Stanford of Cali
fornia spent day in Omaha. The cure of
Gen. Grant is attributed by him TO the use
of clover tea for the past four weeks. Among
the numerous Letters received by Mrs. G rant
suggesting various remedies, clover tea was
urged by the majority of writers, and this
so Influenced her that she finally insisted on
giving it trial at once. The doctors said
they had no objections, although they had
no faith in 1t whatever. They gave it trial
of one week or ten days and then dropped
it. Mrs. Grant and the family, however,
continued to give 1t to the General, without
the knowledge of the doctors, and have kept
1t up ever since. His improvement was
noticeable from the day he began taking it.
Senavor Stanford had friend named Bishop
who. some years ago, had a cancer break
out in three different places on his face and
neck The best physicians in the country
treated him, but failed to do him any good.
Finally an old doctor of Jersey City recon-
mended clover tea as purifier of blood and
possible remedy for cancerous diseases.
Bishop tried it and was cured. Stanford
says that Gen. Grant told him that at three
different times he would have died had not
the doctor been present to revive him with
stimulants. Sanford himself was present
once when Grant was unconscious for FIVE
minutes, and at another time when he near
ly strangled to DEATH. "He certainly has
had some very close calls" said Senator
Stanford.

Counting Money by Weight.
IWaRhinntnn Post I

tVnnnluStOu IOsC.I
A curious scene was enacted last week in
one of the subterranean vaults of the Treas
ury Department, reminding one of smugglers
or pirates in their caves or misers counting
their boarded gains. The feeble glimmer of
two or three gas jets permitted glimpse of
hundreds of small sacks bullying ont with
wealth, while beneath one of the dim jets
we're three men seated around a common
pair OF scales on a low wooden stand. From
the interior of the vault negro messen gers
brought out the little sacks one by one, each
sack with the figures $1,000 marked upon 1t
IN large black letters. AS it was laid upon
the scales, one of the gentlemen made a mark
upon its tag, another looked intentIy at its
weight, and the third kept tally. Then the
bag was borne away into the darkness of the
vault again.
The money of the Government was being
counted, as is usual upon the change OF
Treasurcrs, and the work had commenced
in the 'siver Vault under the supervision of
the committee recently appointed. In the
vault are stored away nearly nine million stan
dard silver dollars and about $3.50, 900 in
fractional silver. The dollars are kept in
sacks holding just thousand, and as
each sack weighs tfty-nine pounds and
quarter, and is in size nearly foot square,
enc can easily imagine that it would be
difficult matter for thieves to carry off many
thousands. even if they could penetrate the
vault. On commencing the count the COM
mittee opened several of these bags, and Sc
Letting that one which contained tine most
abraded and worn coins, counted them, and
then weighed the whole bag.
"Fifty-nine pounds and one ounce" said
the man at the scales.
"Then we shall conduct the count on that
basis" answered another member of the
committee. If the bags weighed trife
more it was known that the 81 900 was in
tact, but If they weighed less they were
opened and counted, the silver cinking with
a musical sound. In weighing the fraction
al silver the same system will be pursued,
that being also in bags of 81 ,000 As it will
be impossible to weigh more than million
dollars day in this manner, the committee
are looking forward to about a fortnight's
work in the silver vault; but, as one of them
remarked, sit is not nearly as interesting as
it would be if the money were our own"
