Grants Application for Professorship.

Grants Application for Professorship.
An incident in Gen. Grants history which
has never been made public was given to me
by $ B. Elllins. 1t seems that some time in
1857, when the general was in hard lines III
st. Louis and seeking for something to do to
earn bread for his family, the University of
Missouri, located at Columbia City, had a
vacancy occur in the chair of mathematics
Gen. Grant, who had been disappointed in an
application for the position of county surveyor
at st. Louis, determined to apply for the
vacant professorship. He wrote a modest
letter to the board of trustees, in which he
stated his qualifications and his needs. An
other man got the place. \ year or two be-
fore he died IN mentioning the act to Mr.
ElkinS, who Is a graduate of the university
Gen. Grant with his usual simplicity of man
ner, said: Il think I could nave filed the
place quite well l pretty well up in
mathematics at West Point. But il | had got
the place l presume / should not now lie
here. York Cor Cincinnati k1sglirer

that there were no charges affecting their

of the resolution is to settle the dispute in

Our school was visited last week by
the County uperintendent, Mr.. III.
S. Butts. He arrived late in the after
noon and consequently spent but a
short time with us. He took the pu-
pills through short examination the
object of which was, as he explained,
to stimulate both school and teacher
to greater exertion. He soon gained
the confidence of the pupils; and they
answered his questions freely, and,
seemingly, without embarrassment.
His visit was pleasant and agreeable
to all.
Sleighing and dancing have been
the principal amusements in our. Sec
ton lately. A very pleasant dancing
party was given at Mr.. F. Leather
