Col. Pat Gilmore's Plaster Cast.

Two Anecdotes of Grant.

Washington Letter To the Boston TrayeLler.
An officer who served on Grants staff dur
ing The war said to the Travellers cores
pondent to-day: 1.-The first time | ever saw
Grant was when he came 10 take command of
the army. This was at Brapdywine Station.
we had been accustomed TO see Mcclellan,
Halleck, Burnside and the other Generals go
about from brigade to brigade. and division

uniformed staff officers, and. of course, we
expected that Grants arrival would have
great deal OF show in it, We were awaiting
MS arrival, knowing that he was on his way.
when freight train rolled in. There was a
caooose on the end, and out jumped two men.
One OF them was a short. stumpy man, with a
full brown beard. He wore black slouch
hat, tipped down on his eyes, and as he picked
his way over the railroad tracks to the st ton
a soldier who had been at Fort Donelson
shouted: Here's Grant, bows On the plat
form was Gen. ingalls,, the CoGimissary Gene
raj OF the army. and who was one of Grants
ciassma es. He recognized his old comrade,
and they shook hands for a moment, Then
ingalls, invited his commander to take a seat
In a four-in- hand which was waiting. 1t
was raining, but Grant stood awhile
ana looked over the turnout; then he
got inside and drove TO headquarters. Gen.
ingalls, had provided most magnificent din
ner for the new commander. Grant sat and
ate heartily, and after he had finished he
turned and inquired: ingalls, where did YOU
get all this stuff 2 The Commissary General
replied with some pride that he had mad 1t
brought down from Washington expressly for
the event. Then Grant wanted to know If
the soldiers were in the habit OF getting lay
out like that. Upon being answered in the
negative. Grant said: ingalls,, have been in

The recent publication OF letter from
n teacher to State School Commissioner
Orr complaining OF delay in the payment
of teachers salaries, directs attention to
"a grievance that should be promptly re-
dressed. The public interests and ordi-
mary justice alike demand that it be re-
dressed. The State needs the best teach
,ers 1t can get; it needs a much larger
humber of Thorn than it now has; and the
greatest inducement to efficient persons to
embark in the calling is prompt payment
OF salaries. The present system OF irritat-
ing delay is driving good teachers from
the State, or out OF the profession alto
gather.

Yet all my heart OWNING;

A shining robe thou wearest,
A golden harp thou Dearest,
Thy love on earth " as rarest,
And now for Inc thou carest;
For Love can know.
Love tends the heavenly wires,
Love knoweth loves desires;
Though mid angelic choirs.
Love needs and never tires;
For Love must know.

When farthest thou art nearest,
The tangled way thou clearest,
And every hour thou cheerest;

Precedence at the CapitaJ

The question of the hour at Washing
ton appears to be that of precedence. 1t
is question that bobs up about this time
every year. There is always something
occurring to bring 1t to the front, and
doubtless 1t will never be finally settled
until Congress takes hold of it and makes
some regulations with regard to 1t.
When the Hoar succession bill became
"a law 1t was eagerly scanned to see If it
contained anything to aid in settling the
question. Strange as 1t may appear, the
arrangement for the succession of the Cab
met officers only complicated matters.
Before that bill was passed the Secretary
OF the Navy always ranked fourth among
the Cabinet officers, and he occupies that
position now at Cabinet meetings. In the
Hoar bill, however, the Postmaster
General ranks fourth and the Secretary
OF the Navy fifth. Senators who have
been consulted about the matter say the
Postmaster General was placed fourth
by mistake.
But outside of the question of prece-
dence in the Cabinet there appears to be
a most vigorous discussion going on as to
whether Judges of the Supreme Court
shall take precedence of Senators,
whether members Of the diplomatic corps
shall take precedence of both or neither,
whether the Speaker takes precedence OF
Cabinet officers and Senators, etc. 1t Is
to be hoped that the matter will be ad-
justed before New Years day, and thereby
prevent many heartburnings at the Presi-
dents reception.
OF course the ladies are more interested
in this matter than the gentlemen, and do
most of the talking about it. II PROBABLY
wouldn't be considered OF so much impor-
lance if men alone had to deal with it.

The genuine American boy is generally
full OF pluck. A little fellow named
Patterson navigated the schooner Emily
j. White, few days ago, from Sands
river, n. s., with a cargo of pillng, into
st. John, n. q. The schooner carried
but three persons in all, the Captain, the
mate and the boy, 1t being intended to put
into another port on the Nova Scotia
coast TO complete the crew. Shortly
after getting to sea the mate was knocked
overheard and drowned. The Captain
tried TO save him in a small boat and go;
separated from the schooner, and sue
ceeded in getting to Quebec. The lad
stood at the wheel all day and all night,
and finally made the harbor Of st. John,
running the schooner on the flats. He
was weary and hungry, but his courage
and perseverance, carried him through.
The Captain found the boy asleep in his
berth,

An illustration OF the injurious effect
OF strikes upon every department OF bust
ness is afforded in the recent exhibit Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. The
directors state that the receipts OF the
canal company for the year just closed
will not meet the ordinary expenses of
the company, there being a deficiency
of some $50, 900. This was accustomed by
strikes in the coal mines, much OF the
trade being diverted from the canal by
the strike, and by the general destruction
caused TO the canal by the freshets and
floods during the past spring. A marked
decrease in the ordinary expenses OF the
canal is shown for the last three years,
and but for the strike the showing of the
company would have been a fiattering
one; but the diversion OF at least 100, 900
tons of coal has seriously impaired the
financial prosperity OF the corporation,
and, as the most rigid economy must now
be resorted to, its power TO give employ
ment to labor will be proportionably d.
unfinished.

Stock Gambling Congressman.

If the statements contained in the spe-
cial Washington dispatches are true the
people have a very inadequate idea of the
extent to which their representatives en-
gage in stock and grain gambling opera
tions. 1t Is stated that they dropped a
good many thousand dollars in all street
during the little panic which occurred
there last week. One Congressman is
spoken Of as having lost $4,000, another
$4,000, and still another as having lost
his entire salary for the remainder of his
term.
Doubtless many Congr essmen who met
with losses said nothing about the mat
ter. They may have doubts whether it is
proper for Congressman to be engaged In
Wall street speculations; and it is a ques-
tion whether it is not as wrong for them
to gamble In Wall street as to act as
attorneys for subsidIze railroads.
Measures are constantly coming up for
their consideration which have an influ-
ence on the prices OF stocks or grain. 1t
is believed by some that the furry In
Wall street last week was due, to some
extent, to the Interstate commerce bill.
Ii congressman was carrying large
amount of railroad stocks on margins and
felt sure that the passage of the bill would
cause the prices of them to fall, the
chances are that he would work and vote
against it, even though he might regard 1t
as good measure. How can a stock
speculator, therefore, legislate with en-
tire fairness with respect to matters in
which he has either direct or an indirect
pecuniary interest!
At every session there Is attempted
legislation of some kind with re-
spect to the Pacific railroads. The
stocks OF these roads are among those
which Wall street uses to relieve the
'lambs" Of their cash. II Congress-
man is interested in the securities of
these roads, will he not find it difficult 10
avoid using his position to protect his
interests?
IfMr. Beck's bill, prohibiting Congress-
men from acting as attorneys OF subsi-
died railroads is passed, he ought to in
troduce another at once to prevent Con-
gressmen from specializing in Wall street.
