ARTILLERY Band sersnade.

About Il O'Clock last night the First Ar
tillery band, at the suggestion of Colonel
Sheehan, serenaded the members of the
G. A. R. at the Golden Eagle and Capital
Hotels. A large crowd collected, expect
ing that General Logan was at the Golden
Eagle and would appear, but it happened
that he had not returned. After the band
had rendered two or three pieces in an ad-
mirable manner, and was about to leave.
the General happened to drive by in a car
rage with Mayor Brown and others. The
assemblage recognized him ana cheered,
when the carriage stopped, and in an in
slant there was rush to shake hands with
the distinguished soldier and statesman
Calls for a speech were loud and numerous,
bat the General pleasantly declined, ex-
pressing thanks for the compliment ex-
tended, and hoping that they would all
meet again, and that the meeting would
be a happy one. As the carriage drove
away the cheering was resumed heartily.

ARRESTED FOR LARcEvY.-Yes terdav
morning, on a telephone message from
San Francisco, officer Mccormack arrested
a man named Rhody Merchant, alias
Frank Gogard, for robbing q San Fran
cisco saloonkeeper named Joe Freyer.
The latter had been very kind to him,
harboring him while he was sick, and ad-
vancing money for his support. When
Merchant got well he celebrated the event
by robbing Freyer of all the money he
could lay his hands upon, and then took
his departure for Sacramento. 'Freyer was
so indignant at the ingratitude displayed
BY the man he had befriended that he
called upon the police for aid in bringing
him to justice.

FIRST HOP SH1PNENT.-The first ship

Lilienthal & Co., the well-known hop
dealers of San Francisco. The hops were

the quality of Sacramento hops when pick
ing becomes general. The hops were sent
to New York and Chicago, and will be the
first Of the Pacific coast hops to arrive there.

In the smoking-car of Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy suburban train, the other morning, two
passengers were discussing the pronunciation of
the word Slough" which appears over the door
of q small station building not far from Hinsdale
They could not agree, 30 they submitted the
question to MIR. Meryin Tabor. the State insur-
ance actuary. and q former schoolmaster.
"Why.n said Mr. Tabor, 'if rough spells

"What do you think about It'll" said one of the
gentlemen to Mr.. Watson, Board of Trade man.

At this a gray haired man, with light plug
hat and the air of capitalist turned around in
his seat, and, with the intrepidity of one who
speaks from absolute knowledge, said:
1T is pronounced with the sound of 'ow'

yersy, s.what COMPOUNDED fool gave such an in

For several minutes the clickity-click of the

embarrassing stiffness.

and silver, presented to him by his grandmother,
the ex- Queen Isabella. and nourished by the om-
nipotent wet nurse, the infant King of Spain
continues to thrive Queen Christina is gradu-
ally resuming her usual duties She distributes
more thon 100 600 lire a month in charity, with
out counting extra donations to alms-houses,
hospitals. and other benevolent institutions,
some of which she founded herself. On
the bank of the Manganereis. in sight
of the royal palace, in an open and cheerful spot
one sees a little house painted in bright colors,
surrounded by garden, from which in passing
one hears the laughter, shouts and cries OF chill
dren. The Queen had it built as a resort for the
little children of the laundresses. who, while
their mothers were working, used to be left on
the streets. 1t is a mingling Of aims house and
school. She has also founded hospital for
foundlings, house or species OF college for the
children of the tobacco workers, and distribu-
ton of soup. meat and bread for all the poor OF
the city The Sisters of Charity receive from
her every month 20, 900 lire.

The Next Craze.
Philadelphia Times.

Washington is threatened with professional
beauty craze during the coming winter. While
the United States have furnished professional
beauties for both London and Partisan society to
go wild over, the idea of showing off the prize
beauties in competition with each other seems
never to have taken root in Washington. The
beauty and general attractiveness of the Presi-
dents new wife seems to have given birth to the
idea. Several Senators wives are sure that each
know young LADY or two possessing charms OF
face and figure quite equal to those of Mrs.
Cleveland, and they propose to bring on their
beauties during the coming session and show
them off, In one instance it is said that lady

Grants course in the Maryland matter and his
outspoken advice to the Arkansas delegation had
convinced the administration that he could be in
duced to take no step at all beyond the strictest
line of the law; and when it was seen to be i'm
possible to use him, q scheme was concocted to
send him out of the country. The government
did not indeed dare remove the victorious head
of the army, but they determined to suspend
him from his functions for while and to put
Sherman, who it was hoped would prove more
supple, in his place. Sherman had said and
written things which tho President construed
into an approval of his policy. So Grant was di-

not informed Of the reason for the order
Grant had long manifested an extraordinary
interest in the expulsion of the French from
Mexico, an interest well known to the country;

LINCOLN AND GRANT.


In General Grants descriptive ac-
count OF Preparing for the Wilderness
Campaign :" in the February CENrURY,
occurs this account Of his first interview
with Lincoln, which is followed by a
fac-simile letter from the President,
written within a short time afterward,
ana of great interest as showing his
confidence in the General in Chief: s'Iu
my first interview with Mr.. Lincon
alone he stated to me that he had never
professed to be a military man or to
know how campaigns should be con
Quoted, and never wanted to interfere
in them; but that procrastination on
the part Of commanders and the press
ure from the poop.e at the NorUa and
Congress, l0lich tcus arrays ruth him,
forced him into issuing his series o.
70 Military orders one, two three, etc.
He did not know but they were all
wrong, and did not know that some Of
them were. All he wanted, or had ever
wanted, was some one who would take
the res possibility and act, and call on
him for all the assistance needed, pledg-
ing himself to use all The power Of The
Government in rendering such assist
ance. Assuring him that would do
the best could with the means at hand,
aud avoid as far as possible annoying
him or the War Department, our first
interview ended.
''The Secretary of War 1 had met
once before only, but felt that knew
him better. While commanding in
West Tennessee we had occasionally
held conversations over the wires at
night, when they were not being other
wise u ed. He and General Halleek
both cautioned me against giving The
President my plans of campaign, say
ing that he was so kind-hearted, so
averse from refusing anything asked OF
him, that some friend would lee sure 10
get from him all he knew. I shou
have said that in our interview the
President told me mat he did not want
to know what L proposed to do. But
he submitted a plan of campaign Of his
own which he wanted me to hear and
then do as pleas ed about. He brought
out a map OF Virginia on which ne had
evidently marked every position oc-
cupied by the Fs deraI and Con .ederate
armies up to that time. He pointed out
on the map two streams which empty
into the Potomac, and suggested that
the army might be moved on boats and
landed between the mouths of these
streams, We would then have the
Potomac to bring our supplies, and the
tributaries would protect our hanks
while we moved cut. I lis.eued re-
specially. but did not suggest that the
same streams would protect Lees TANKS
while he was shutting us up I did not
communicate my plans to the President,
nor did to the Secretary OF War. or 10
General Halleck.' -

The Democrats may keep Dakota
from becoming a state a year or two
more, just as they kept Kansas out Of
the union so long, and for the same
reason, but there is no probability that
they can successfully carry through a
scheme intended to keep the territory
from forming two large states.
It is Objectionable to have a state too
large or too small. Rhode Island and
Texas are the extremes, neither of
which is desirable 1t is folly to think
of requiring Dakota to remain one. Her
extent of territory is too great. Her
own interests require the formation Of
TWO states.
This being the ctse nothing can be
more appropriate than that the new
territory should be called Lincoln. 1t
is somewhat remarkable that we have
no state in the uni bearing the name
OF one of our presidents. One territory
has been named for the Father of his
country, now let another be naned for
its Preserve. Both are worthy OF hav-
ing their names thus handed down, and
the people who receive them are honor
ed thereby LeavenwOrth Times.
