A Sublime Victory.

The victory won in the civil war was IN
Ave particulars the greatest in history: The
victors captured tho forces opposed to them,
and these among the bravest of mankind;
they secured the largest territory ever taken
in war; they destroyed utterly the subject
matter of the contest; they settled the issues
so thoroughly that no retrial can ever be
necessary. and, most glorious triumph OF all,
they captured the hearts Of the brave men
they conquered. Grant did not merely force
the surrender OF Lees veterans; he won their
regard There was no '.subjugation;" !" he did
not make them ''pass under the yoke" They
| began by respecting him and ended with
warmer feeling; they prayed for him In his
| affection, and mourned sincerely at his death.
| His spirit survives in the universal amnesty,
socal and political; the wSr worn Confeder-
| ate and the old Federal sit side by side in the
national congress and meet amicably in the
social circle. Even In the border states,
where one would naturally expect local ha-
treds to survive longest, one will meet In the
same parlor survivors Of both armies, shai'-
ing impartially the smiles OF the fair; and If,
as rarely happens, some one with more mem-
| ,ry than charity ventures to mouth the
bitter terms of the bitter past, the
hearers quickly rising frown sternly re-
Dukes the unwelcome memory, or the sound
falls dead upon unsynpathizing ears,
like curse upon the mountain top which
| dies OH thu cold, pure air without an echo
Contrast this condition with that Of other
lands where civil war has ragged; with Scot
land where one uprising followed another
for sixty years; with Ireland where the feud
| Of Saxon and Celt, at the end Of two GEN.
turies, is only half appeased. Is it not fact
that more men have been killed and wounded
in American cities, fighting over the Battle
Of the Boyne," than both armies lost In the
battle itselfi Yet how many riots can you
name between ex-Federal and ex-Con-
federate. This is our common glory, north
and south: this makes it victory which all
can celebrate. and it is soon to be here a. II
| is in the poetic literature of Scotland, where
| all the heroic achievements OF both sides are
cast into common stock and are the cotu-
mon glory Of the country.

The most scientific angler is Hampton. He
has one OF the finest outfits in Washington,
and his patience and perseverance are said to
be all tlMt can be desired He frequently
acts as sort Of instructor to his colleagues
who are willing to try hand In fishing for
bass in the Potomac. It is said of him that
he once took Lamar, while he was yet sem
ator, up to the Chain Bridge at Little Falls
for days fishing. Lamar, as is his custom,
took . novel along with him, and while
Hampton was stumping among the rocks set
himself down upon tho bank OF the river,
hooked on his line live frog, cast it out
upon the water, opened his book and
waited for results. Patience makes good
fishermen, and Lamar should have got all
the bass in the Potomac, for he sat still with
his pole between his knees, while he devourcd
the novel, until the waning sun walked him
to the fact that the day was almost gone and
he also saw Hampton appear in the distance
with fine string of fish in his hand Start
ing up in surprise, the future associate justice
of the supreme court began to haul in his
line, and to his great disgust found that the
intelligent frog had quietly swan ashore and
was sitting ON the bank close to him with tho
hook in his mouth.

Agrceably disappointed.

It is one Of the misfortunes Of the rich
senators to be constantly besicged by appli-
cants for snall loans. Among the most
wealthy men OF the senate is Brown. of
Georgia, whose patriarchal beard and air OF
'solemnity made him particular target for
the impecunious. The way in which he re-
PEELED one of the applicants on his generosity
is related something like this:
Across the hotel table from the senator sat
a sad eyed woman boarder who had once been
in good circumstances, but upon whom ad
versity had frowned of late.
"Senator," said this sad eyed lady, "you
southerners are SO chivalrous, SO ready to as
sist those in Distress"
.Yes," replied the senator, hesitating; he
had heard that before from sad Dyed people,
and he thought he OWNED what was coming
'Would you, senator, with your true
southern chivalry, do me q favor and g great
kindnessf'
.sYes madam, what is-that is-it depends
somewhat"-
"Think we'll, senator, before you promise,
for it is a great kindness"
The tones Of the same old song the senator
had heard many times before from parties
who wanted $40 loan.
II am afraid, madam, that l will have to,
but what is it you wish, anyway"

thing on your side. Washington Cor. New
