Anecdotes of General Grant Related by
Mr.. George W. Childs.


Mr.. George w. Childs, in his rccol-
lections of General Grant in Lippin-
colt. relates the following incidents il
Illustrative of the Generals $ cXtraor-
dinary memory for faces and names:
'They came to my house and we
walked across the lawn to the Gen
erals. He sat on the piazza and could
not stand alone, but was on his
crutches, and was presented to every
one of them, shaking hands with each
one. He would say to one gentleman:
How are you, professor? l met you
in Liverpool and to another, Why,
how are youP met you in London
and i am glad to see you; | met you in
Manchester So he recognized each
of these visitors as soon as he laid eyes
on them, and they said to me after
ward, why, only met him casually
once with II party of people,
This power of recognition was re-
markable. | asked him afterward
whether he had lost the power. He
answered: No, l have not lost the
power If | fix my mind on person
never forget him; but L see 50 many
that don't always do it, l can illus
trate an instance of his memory OF
persons. During one OF the times he
was staying with me in Philadelphia
we were walking down Chestnut street
together, and in front of large jewel
er's establishment II lady came out OF
the store and was entering her car
riage. General Grant walked up to
her, shook hands with her and put her
in the carriage. General, did you know
that lady?' %. yes, he replied; 4
know her. Where did you ste her?
We'll, saw her a good many years
ago out in Ohio Mt boarding school.
She was one Of the girls there Did
you never see her before or sincep He
said, NO The lady was the daughter
of very prominent Ohio man, Judge
Jewett, and the next time she saw me
she said: i suppose you told General
Grant who l was. / said did not.
'Why, that is very remarkable she
answered, in surprised tone; Il was
only one OF two or three hundred girls
and / only saw him at school. 1 have
never seen him since. :"

The contempt Of the traveller for

fed recently. Sir Robert Sanderman
and passed close to wolf, of whom we
naturally took no notice, while he
skunk away as fast as his legs would
carry him without attracting too much
observation; but few minutes after
wards we had an engagement with
shepherd dogs which constituted a
more serious encounter. A scarcer
sight was that of the woodcock, which
the sportsman of the party missed, for
it is no joke to tear along roads on
horseback and dismount to shoot. Sur
geon Major Taylor shot four rock part
ridges. The country was full of grave
yards, but controversy RACES among
travellers as to whether, in the dry
district which lies between the Eli
pirates, the Caspian, and Thibet,
enormous graveyards in an almost un-
habited district imply that once it con-
tanned a far larger population. Per-
haps they do mean this; but on the
other hand it must be remembered that
nomadic tribes wander in great num-
bers for enormous distances in this
part of tho world, and that they may
have their favorite burying places.
Then. even small population here
makes a large graveyard, because
the graves are kept up from
time immemorial They are merely
heaps of stones, and passers-by fling
stones on to each cairn, and it may be
said that no grave once made is ever
lost These grave-yards may have
seen the passage of Alexander, for the
rainfall is never sufficiently heavy to
disturb the stoues. A sign of the pas
sage of many people is to be found in
the enormous number of rags which
decorate large trees where they exist.
AT our breakfast place, close to a stream
swollen by the nights rain, which we
had to ford. there was a great tama-
risk tree, which was sacred because
some holy man had been buried near
it, and rags-chiehy red, but not all
red-were tied to every bough. The
custom of tying red rags to trees to in
dicate peculiar sanctity is one which
is met with in parts of the world as
distant from one another as the county
of Galway. New Zealand, Lithuania,
Siberia and Thibet. In the little forti-
fled villages of the valley | was shown
the "miniature mosques" which are
put up outside the fortified enclosures.
They consist of Il fiat stone, about the
size of an English gravestone. with a
headstone; and the villagers go out to
pray upon them one at a time. In the
whole of the long distance from Quetto
to the shrine of Sakhi-Sorwar did not
see a single real ecclesiastical building
except those of our own Moslem SOL
diers. 1t is said that the Baluchis are
such bad Mohammczans that they used
not to pray at all until we came, and
that ii was the example of our moro
religious native soldiers which has in
duced them to begin. But think that
there is some exaggeration in thi
stetement. although it is certain that
at Khur they have lately built IL pray
ing enclosure, like II parish pound, not
having had any place of worship until
iaast year.-Fortnightl Review.

Wisdom from a Child.

Rev. Mr.. Vail is pastor. Mr.. Vail re-
peated the words: There is nowhere.
no place, that God is not" In an au-
dible whisper Pauline said to her BROTH
er: HE don't know about il, does he?
But I'll tell him after church" just
as the preacher descended the pulpit
steps breathless little figure caught
hold of him and said, pantingly: "You
don't know about God, Mr.. Vail. an |
must tell you He isn't everywhere
like you think He is, cause the Bible
says; God is not in the thoughts of the
wicked. That's why He don't always
get into me, but I'm going to try to be
very good this week. so He'll come, I"
And as Mr.. Vail took the bright-eyed
little ona into his arms she added,
naively: "You don't know every thing,
do you, Mr.. Yail?"-Kingston On. "
