McClellan'S First Love.

A very interesting story was told
about a year ago about McClcllan's
first meeting with his wife. He mar
ried her in 1860. and the relations of
the two during the past quarter OF O.
century have been the happiest. Mrs.
Mcclellan accompanied her husband
everywhere, and was a helpmeet in
the true sense of the word. She was
very proud OF her husband, and was
very sensitive to any ridicule of him.
He met her in a church in Baltimore
in 1860 one cold Sunday morning. He
was then travelling through the United
States on a health tour, and had reach
ed Baltimore Saturday night. The
next morning he left the. hotel and
went to the nearest church. The ush-
er took him up to the front and seated
him i'll a pew which was already occu.
pied by very handsome young lady.
The sermon was prosy. and MIR. McClel-
Ian devoted himself to castingsly CLAN
ces to his seat-mate. He concluded
that she was fair. AS he caught a. full
er view of her he decided she was beau
tiful, and when at last he saw her fea-
lures and her eyes looked into his, he
felt that he had met his fate. AS they
passed out of the pew the young lady
blushed under McClellanis admiring
gaze: He followed her home and found
that she lived in one of the handsomest
houses Of the city. On inquiry he
found that this house was owned by
General r. B. Marcy, efather of one
of his schoolmates at West Point.
Mcclellan at once called upon young
Marcy, and through him obtained an
Introduction to Marcy's sister, Ellen.
He began to pay her attentions and
found upon acquaintance that she inn
proved. His love was reciprocated.
They We're engaged, and in May, 1860,
they were married.

A Woman in q Duel;

The emancipated woman has been
practically asserting to equal
ity with man in Russ1anPo GLAND. The
Kurier, Of Warsaw has an account of
q duel between q lady and gentleman.
Thelatter had offered the lady his hand
which she refused, whereup he spread
abroad reports injurious to her good
name. Several gentlemen came for
ward in g knightly manner, and vol
.unteered to avenge her by challenging
her calumniator TO a duel. She replied
that il q duel YVES required in order to
vindicate her honor, sheconcieved that
she had q right and title to be one of
the principals. The stronp.minded
damsel prided herself upon being q good
shot, and resolved to punish her ira.
dticer, but not TO injure him mortally.
She sent him challenge; he accented
it, and the duellists met III place
ourside Warsaw. Happily both miss
ed their aim. The adywanted tosfire
a second time; but her second assured
hertha,t fullrep ton had been made.
Her adversary was so moved BY her
masculine gallantry that lie made her

Generals Grant and Meade.

General Daniel Butter6eld, who
was chief of staff to General Meade,
at Gettysburg, is q short and well.
built gentleman with head like that
of Napoleon Bonaparte, an iron gray
mustache that would have delighted a
grenadier OF France. was chatting
with him the other day about thu
peculiarities of men with whom he
had come in contact in the Army when
he told me of characteristic reply oil
Grant to Meade under the guns Of Pc
tersburg. Meade was always getting
q scare. He came to Grant one day,
with piece OF paper in his, hand on
which he had traced a number of lines
to represent the opposing forces.
General he said to Grant, 'tthe en-.
envy are pressing us mighty hard right
here, and he pointed to one of his
imaginary lines of battle. There is
great danger that he may press us too
far. Grant smoked away at his ci
gar and scarcely looked at the dia
gram Finally Meade said with some
imratience, What shall be done?'
The stolid face Of Grant scarcely
moved as he took out his cigar, and
with q movement Of one forefinge,
against his other hand remarked
quietly, Press him over there. HI,
had selected with his motion the weak
est spot in the Confede rate line where
e movement would necessitate q back
ward movement on the part Of Their
forces that wers pressing Meade. The
latter had thought only Of brngins
up reinfOrcements, and had never
dreamed of obviating his difficulties
by q counter movement.

How to Eat Cranes.

millions OF people in grape-raising
countries" says DIR. c. f. Page, tteat
grapes as they ought to be eaten, viz,
without any chewing or skinning or
seeding or any nonsense what
ever. : But thousands of peo-
pie have been taught, some to
pinch the pulp into the mouth,
discarding the skin; others, to dissect
out both the seeds and skin, thus
taking a great deal Of pains to pre-
vent the grape from being as whole
some as it is delicious. By far the
most agreeable and satisfactory
way to eat grapes, once accustomed
to it, is to bolt them about as fast
as they can becomfortably swallowed,
pressing the grape between the teeth so
as to open up the pulp sufficiently to
give us all the flavor and to lubricate
the bolus. Alittle practice will enable
anyone to eat them thus, and 1T is
the most agreeable, as it is the only
wholesome way. It is want Of bulk
that makes our food indigestible in
many cases. It is obvious that there
is a double advantage, # this theory
be the correct one, for one pound Of
grapes would go as far as two
pounds eaten the other way

The Manufacture of Plush.

The manufacture of plush, which
has hitherto been made exclusively in
foreign countries, has recently been
begun by q firm in Pawtucket, r. I.
A start was made four years ago, but
only within a few months have the
goods been put on the market More
than three years were spent in expert.
menting in their machinery, and even
yet the business is not entirely per.
fected. New methods are constantly
being adopted and fresh improvements
made. The company was hindered in
it's enterprise by ignorance of even the
kind OF machinery employed in this
branch OF manufacture across the
water. A representative of the firm
was sent to Europe, when the project
was first formed, but he experienced
great difficulty in obtaining admission
to the plush mills, and in many cases
was completely unsuccessful. Almost
the only result of his trip was the pur.
chase of plush loom, and a few stray
ideas obtained under the greatest diff.
Guilty. The loom was shipped at once
w 0HCuCAcC, 6tllu experiments WeEG
begun upon it. These extended over
more than three years, and are
still being carried on. Flattering sue.
cess has attended this experimenting.
From this single piece OF machinery
the whole system OF manufacture had
to be evolved. But the loom has
been improved upon, the other neces-
sary machinery has been worked out
and constructed, and in many re.
spects the new methods are claimed to
surpass in nicely and utility those OF
the foreign manufacture. All this
work has been carried on with closed
doors, and even now none but EN-.
ployes Of the firm are permitted with
in the rooms where the weaving and
finishing of the plush is performed. So
carefully was the secret guarded, so
quietly the work OF experimenting and
perfecting carried on, that no one out.
side the firm was aware of the new in.
dustry that was being developed until
the fabric was placed in the market.
There are two or three other concerns
in various parts of the country ex.
perimenting in plush manufacture,
but the Pawtucket firm were the plo.
neers in the industry. Their pushes
are manufactured both for the car
and upholstery trades. The car
trade is now almost exclusively con.
trolled by foreign mills.-Philadel'

and the shadows had deepened in the
room SO that features were not easily
distinguishable. Ward took seat
g moment on low bench beside his
bundle and gazed down at his feet, il
not In abject misery, at least in sad
dened and thoughtful humiliation. A
convict entered the room-an attend
ant upon the principal keeper. He was
Hall Clerk Smith, Of about Wards
age, sentenced to twenty years for
burglary. He stood in front Onward.
The principal keeper spoke up:
1"Take your bundle, Ward, and rise.''
Ward did automatically. He SEEM
ed as onein a dream; his hands and feet
moved as if he were not sure that he
was himself. He gathered his shoes
and his bundle in q heap in his arms,
his cap held tightly il. his right hand.
"Hand on right shoulder" said the
head keeper. Ward managed to ex-
tricate his right hand and put it me-
chanically foreward until it fell upon
the right shoulder of Smith. "For-
ward" was the next command. Smith
started for the door. Ward kept step
with him and moved on in the shadows.
They reached the door. "Put on
your cap, Ward" called the head
keeper, as the bare-headed man reach
ed the outer air. He did so mechan-
lcally. They turned to their right as
they passed out and with locked step,
as gang OF conyicts came down the
path, Convict Ward and Convict
Smith disappeared through the heavy
door OF the State Prison, moved up
three flights of stairs and paused be-
fore cell No. opt, ninteenth gallery,
known as tho stove gallery. Ward
passed in. He started back.
Another man was there. For the
first few days of his stay at Sing Sing
Prison the former partner of James D.
Fish was to belocked up in cell sew
Ell feet deep, six feet high, and four
feet six inches wide with the convict
John Uerick, sentenced to eight years
at hord labor On Sept. l8, 1929, for
assault. There were two cots, one
above another. A look of hopeless
despair came over Ferdinand Wards
face. He was locked in for the night.
The cell which Ward occupies looks
out through a window with heavy
stone settings across gallery, upon
the railroad. Cell No. 926 on one side
is occupied by William Wright, of this
city, convicted of burglary on March
IL, 1884, and sentenced for three
years. Cell No. 928, on the other side,
has an occupant in Thomas McDon-
aid, sentenced on February %, 1882,
for life for manslaughter in the first
degree.
Ward was assigned by Principal
Keeper Connaughton to the stove con-
tract gang. "These are genuine con-
tracts" said he. 1.-THE stove contract
gang numbers 900, and works in two
different buildings. Ward will march
in lock step and work with gang
of forty-t5ve men. He has been as
signed to stove-mounting because
think he will be a good hand at it..
The work is not heavy, and consists
in riveting together the parts of a
stove and mounting them. Wards
rising hour, as that of the others, will
be $50 a. m. His breakfast will
consist of coffee, hash and bread at
6:15; his dinner of roast beef and
gravy, beets, bread, coffee and pota-
toes; his supper of bread and coffee.

Scenes pathetic and scenes comic
succeed one another rapidly at Castle
Garden, whore the emigrants are land
ed. An example ofeach kind came UNI
der my observation in an afternoons
visit. A Swedish girl, with hair Of tow
and complexion Of roseleaf, was weep
ing in q corner. "A city missionary
was talking to her in the language of
her home. I asked him what was the
matter. He said that he had found
her almost in the hands Of q woman
who would have plunged her into q
vicious life; that when he informed her
OF the character of this wretch she re-
piled that she cared nothing about it.
