The terms however, were not in the least the re-
sult of chance, or careessness. or indifference.
They were the legitimate outgrOwth OF Grant ludg-
nent and feeling; the consequence OF all
that had gone before; embodied then
for the first time, because then for
the first time the necessity for the emoodI-
ment had arrived. In this way Grant always did
lis greatest things. 1t may be strange or mex

DDS. nor. indeed. always his reasons

far less any intent of encroaching on the DOMAIN OF

of other forces of the enemy, although he was Ten
eral-in- Chief; he confined himself strictly 10 tho

sured Grant of the profound impression the stipu-
Ia,ions of the surrender had made upon his army
and declared that the entire South would respond
TO the clemency he had displayed. Scores vi the

Nye DfcoUeriHg Comets for q Likelihood
NV first comet was discovered in the early
evening It is not brilliant comet, but
rather inferior in its appearance. Its
motions, also, are erratic, and at times aim
less. 1t has an elongated orbit. with large
hole in it I hope that this will make
no difference, however, as IL Is no fault OF
mine. ! viii agree that it shall not occur
again.
1 hope some day to discover a comet with
a parabola to it. l have found a place
where one of these had been the day before
and dragged its parabola across the milky
way. What prize do you offer for comet
with parabola? Also, what will you give
me for a small comet in good condition,

1 found a light sorrel comet last year, but

it before it disappeared for the night.
learned the next day that it was a comet
with a large orbit, and that it would not
again return for 3, 000 years The discovery
was bona fide one, however, and if you
will advance the amount of the prize, 1t
will be Of great pecuniary advantage to me,
and if il does not return on time as L have
said / will refund the money to you OF
your heirs with pleasure. This comet had
a long, heavy name and tail, and seemed to
be feeling first rate. It's tail was turned
from me when discovered it, but when i
looked at it again l saw that it was turned
this way. When / next looked at it 1t
was gone. Should any other astronomer
find this comet and report it to you, wish
you would tell him that it belongs to me- u

DEAR SIR: I write to say that last night l
was so fortunate as to discover a new comet
for which you were kind enough to offer
prize Of 800 last year. AS soon as 1 read
your offer immediate began TO scan the
heavens. L presume that there isn't
square foot of the whole sky that haven't
been over during that time in search Of
comets. In January, on the early morning
of the second, / think, while going home,
after assisting In the ceremonies Of ushering
b the new year, / discovered comet OF
great magnitude. but on the following
evening. when / attempted TO put my hand
on it and classify it and draw on you for the
prize money, I found that it had evaded me.
now agree with my wife that it was an
optical illusion of the fir magnitude
Last week, however, l succeeded in run
ming down a large red comet which had
never been used before. It was situated in
the constellation of Cassabianca, about due
west of the Methodist church as you look
out of my harm door on clear night.
Its appearance is that of a large nebulous
body with a central condensation and no
tail This is the only drawback to my dis
covery l am sorry TO come to you with a
tailless comet. After the long nights Of ankle
ty and worry I dislike to come to you, DOC,
bringing a bobtail comet. will, therefore,
throw off SO from the amount you offered.
Send me postal note for $780, Doc, and the
comet is yours. You viii find it where
have said if you are careful to observe my
directions
Had this comet been a SUCCESS, with a tail
to 10. / would have been glad to bestOw my
name upon it, never having put my name on
a comet; but l would prefer not to name a
mutilated comet after myself. A man
works too hard to win deathless name to
calmly see it Iut on nebulous and skittish
bobtail comet, with no record have had
wildcat mining claims named for me, and
my brief but contiguous cognomen will be
found here and there throughout the Ameri-
can herd book; but when l plaster it on a
heavenly body I want it to be- attached to a
good one.
am on the eve of discovering another
comet however, to which l will not be
ashamed to attach my name / have only
partially discovered it at this time, but, as
Herschel would say, there is a hen on. L got
a brief view of this comet last night, but be-
fore / could secure it. name it and draw on
you for the 800 it was gone. AS the bank will
be closed tonight at the time the discovery
will no doubt be made, l have taken the
liberty to draw on you to-day at sight. If
do not succeed in discovering the comet
in time for June delivery / will return the
money to you.
