A Silent Man.

Among the "reminiscences ofthe war
the following extract from an inter-
view with an old Virginia Methodist
preacher is interesting:
Yes, my house was full OF your
generals last night. There waA Sher-
idan, Humphreys, Meade, Custer, Ord,
and quite number of others, and they
were lively set and full of fun, and
allwere quite jolly with the exception
of one officer whom / noticed sitting
in corner smoking and taking but
little part in the sports lin which the
rest were engaged. They all went
out of the house but this solitary silent
man, and as was going out he asked
me where the pump was, as he would
like to get drink. On offering to get
him some water, he said !: No, sir;
I am younger man than You, / win
go myself, and as passed out be came
up behind me. When i'm about the
middle of the hall my little grand
daughter came running toward me,
but the silent man, spreading out both
arms, caught her, taking her up, fair
ly smothered her with kisses, said :.
This reminds me OF my little girl at
home, and makes me homesick.' To
the question, Where is your home? he
replied: 'Galena, ILL.,, but have my
family at City Point, and am anxious
to get back to them / said 'Will you
permit me to ask your name, sir p
Certainly; my name is Grant. Grant
exclaimed / Gen. Grant ~ and /
stood there awe stricken and paralyz-
ed with astonishment, while my heart
went out after this man. / thought
to myself, here is man whose name
is now in the mouth of man, woman
and child, throughout the civilized
world, and yet withal he exhibits no
emotion and seems unconcerned and
unmoved until the little child reminds
him of his loved ones at home, and I
fairly broke down, as General Grant
had been pictured out to US asa bloody
butcher and L had looked for man
looking as savage as Camache In
dian. To say / was agreeably disap-
pointed when I saw Grant expresses
my feelings but feebly.

What is Good Breeding.

Genuine good breeding is simply a
general walk 10 life which always avoids
giving unnecessary pain, which sinks
itself, and which is uniformly kind to all
people. A factory girl in this sense
may be, and often is, as well bred as a
princess. The very height of good
breeding Is to behave ones self proper
ly, and there are millions of hard work.
ing matrons and maidens who can do
that, and much more than that. The
flowers and the fun, the frolics and the
fairy like abundances of enjoyment
which wealth can purchase, are often,
it may seem uneqaally divided. But
good breeding, the art of always being
frank and yet dignifed, of patient self
control, thought for others, of kindness
to all,is as general as the gift of heart
A duchess, i'm the best sense of the term.

The Frog and the Peasant.

A Frog who had long Dwelt in a
Pond near Peasants Cabin was one
evening highly delighted to hear the
peasant remark to his wife
"Have you eyer noticed how beauti-
fully that frog sings 2''
TIE speech tickled the frog amazing
". and he at once began his tune and
kept 1t up all night long. At daylight
the peasant came down with club and
called out
eIf you don't leave here forthwith
I'll be the death of you ~
"What have I done ?" asked the as
tonished frog.
"Kept us awake all night with your
croaking 10
.sBut it was only Last Evening that
you complimented me on my song"
"That is true, but heard only brlef
songs and at long intervals"
Moral-It is dangerous thing to
com mpliment a man who makes the o.
pening speech at ward caucus. Nine
times out of ten he'll want to 60 to the
legislature.

Washed Ashore.
How S3o 900 were Recovered by a
Dead Mans Relatives.

A Halifax IN. S.lsdispatch tells this
strange story A romance has come
to light connected with the ill-fated
steamship Daniel Steinmann, which
was wrecked at Sambro a year ago,
when 124 lives were lost. Previous to
his leaving home Peter Andreas Mich
aelson, one of the passengers, deposited
$39, 900 and some valuables for safe
keeping with one Herschird, of Hasle,
Denmark, and:took receipt therefor.
Probably Imagining that no legal evil
dence would ever be forthcoming that
he had the money Herschird refused to
return it to the dead mans relatives.
Thereupon the Danish foreign minister
communicated with Mr.. Tobin, the
Danishconsul at this port, requesting
him to spare no effort to lind the re-
ceipt. The bodies and wreckage wash
ed ashore from time to time had been
carefully searched, and the divers who
haye been working on the wreck for the
past year have kept sharp lookout fol
the missing document, but all without
success. Recently small trunk was
washed ashore containing lumber oi
letters and papers. These were turned
over to the consul. They were water.
soaked and the writing almost oblitera
ted, but among them was the long-look'
ed for receipt, which, after much diff
Guilty, Consul Tobin deciphered and
translated. He has cabled the good
news to Copenhagen.

among the soldiers who served under
him as odd Hickory a sobriquet given
him during the Creek war. His bri-
gade was making forced march. with

Indians in one of their villages, and
were for several days and nights expos

bottom among the half-frozen soldiers.
Captain Allen aud his brother John
cut down stout hickory tree. peeled
off the bark and made covering for
the general, who was with difficulty
persuaded to crawl into it. The next
morning drunken citizen entered the
camp, and seeing the tent kicked it O.

ruins the topper cried: Hello, Old
Hickory come out of your bark and
jine us in a drinks Therefore the gen.
eral was known in camp as 'Old Hick-

was adopted by his supporters. The

A RECENT Washington letter gives an
intimation that the Civil Service law
will be tested rs to Its constitutionallty
The Democrats have found 1t very bur
densome and very much In the way, and
there has, In consequence, been much
restlessness shown by the heads OF De-
partments because the law prevented
the wholesale discharge of clerks, and
officers generally. The matter has
taken form, no doubt, and II possible, II
will be tested for all 1t is worth. The
following is the subsistence OF the letter I:
"The testing OF the constitutionality OF
OF the Civil Service law is growing
idea with number Of persons who are
not only opposed to the measure, but be-
lieve that 1t will not stand the test be-
fore the highest judicial tribunal. This
view Ia concurred In by n number Of Off
oials who are not charged with not faith
fully executing the law. AT least one
member OF Arthur's Cabinet, who helped
TO frame the rules now In operation,
doubted very much whether their opera
ton was not contrary to the Constitu-
ton. Reasons accumulate for looking
for a contest next winter over the law,
Its advocates being opposed by two fac
tions-one for its total repeal, another
for Its material modification. Recent
occurrences are likely to bring the Com
missioners under fire II half OF what ia
threatened is attempted. The latest
charge against them ia "oflensive partl-

ACCORDING to Information given to the
Christian Union by a large number OF
olergymen, mot more than five per cent.
OF American artisans In cities habitually
attend religious services OF any kind.
All but two OF the letters say that the
attendance is diminishing, and all but
one that the neglect is not from unbellef
in Christianity. The cause ofnonchurch
attendance, as given by these experts,
may be summed as follows: The men
create on Sunday. They cannot dress
as well as those with whom they must
associate, and therefore stay away.
They think secret societies are as good
for the privileges because of the high
prices OF things which they must have.
The large salaries of the ministers dis
gust some. Some feel that the minister
is hireling, aud therefore seeks to up
build his church rs a doctor seeks his
practice, not from love OF souls, but to in
crease his salary. Some employers OF
labor are so bad In their treatment OF
their employees that the men do not
want to go where they shall meet those
in whose real Christianity they have SO
little faith. All the letters indicate that
especially in the large places artisans
feel that they are not welcome in
churches frequented by the Weather
classes"

probable that granite will be used In the

agree to hire every resident granite
stone cutter now In Texas, no matter
how many convlcts he might have en-
ployed, and pay them the scale of prices
liked by their union" At all events 1t
begins to look like the Capitol question
