General Grant Did Not Swear.

From the New York Graphic
Colonel Fred. Grant says that the stories afloat
about his father, which credit him with profan-
ity, are not true in so far as they show the gen.
eral to have been profane. He told me the
other day that he had never known his father
to use an oath. Mrs. Grant tells the story that
when the family was living on the little farm
near st. Louis, the general had one day, with
the assistance of his one laborer loaded two
wagons full Of cord-wood to take to town. Mrs.
Grant had filed basket with eggs and garden
products. The fool of workman tied the pre-
cious basket under his wagon and proceeded
on his way. Jogging along recklessly, he jolted
up against log in the road. The basket struck
against it, breading all the eggs and making a
pitiful mess of the whole contents Grant, who
was behind, was furious. When he got home
he told Mrs. Grant of the mishap. What did
you say to him, Lyss?" asked the distressed
wife. well, under the provocation, called
him an internal fool" BY the way, no one
thinks Of Colonel Grant as F. ID. Grant. 1t is
always Fred. Grant, his second name, Dent,
and the initial, ID, being lost by the famili-
arity of the other cognomen. The same thing
10 true of R. B. Harrison, the Presidents son,
who is only thought Of as Russell Harrison. The
result Is that Colonel Grant, who is q mature
man of forty-6ve or forty-six, is still regarded
by the mass Of American citizens as General
Grants ''boy," while Russell Harrison, at thirty
two, 10 in the popular, mind q mere 'skid' -
This is one Of the penalties Of being q great
mans son.

The Story of the Chair Back.

IT USED TO BE FOR DEFENSE, BUT GAVE WAY TO
VANITY.
From the Romance of Furnace.
The changes in the height Of the chair back
have not been purely arbitrary. Its early mis-
sion was not only one of support, but also one
of defense from any sudden attack in the rear,
an explanation likely to lessen enthusiasm over
medieval life. 1t should be remarked, how
ever, that even if the master of the house
deemed it necessary to put his person in safety
he did not have any serious apprehension for
the other jewellers in the house or for visitors,
SO that in each room there was one seat with a
very high back reserved for the seignior, while
the others had either no backs at all or very
insignificant ones. Thus there came about a
development sufficiently curious and the seat
with high back. became by custom the mark
of dignity and power.
Finally the wig became responsible for revo-
luton. When the wig began to descend to the
back the high chair back became very uncom-
Portable. The curls of hair, wool, and silk
which composed the monumental structure
that every fashionable man believed he ought
to wear entangled themselves in projections OF
adhered to the fabric, and produced in the
toilet a disorder most offensive to the majestic
dignity OF the time One alternative then pre-
sents ITSELF either to renounce the wig or to
cut down the backs of the chairs. They re-
signed themselves to this last measure, and the
wig comes out the victor in this singular con.
test Afterward the high chair back lost al
significance.
In the eighteenth century there was new
and last revolution. The chair back, which
in the preceding century had diminished in
size, suddenly becomes pliable, a. 1t were,
takes Q rounded form, becomes small, con-
venient, agreeable, and ceases completely to be
solemn.

The Tyler Diamond Robbery.
MORE STOLEN PROPERTY FOUND.

This afternoon Detectives Raft and Horne
went with Superintendent Gray to the room Of
the prisoner Waters in the St. Cloud building,
and recovered more oyercoats supposed to
have been stolen.
They found articles in the room where
several boards had been taken from the
floor. In this place the burglars hid their
plumber for day or two and then removed
1t to the country house. The officers then
went to an old unoccupied house
IN Uniontown, said 10 belong to
Waters and there found large
quantity of stolen property, including
some of that stolen from the
residence of Senator Dawes and Col. Britton.
They also recovered quantity of jewelry
which has not vet been identified.
Among the property was jewel case
bearing the name Fannie" Upon informa-
ton received the officers placed three
charges of receiving stolen property against
Waters. They also arrested another negro
named Columbus Sewell and locked him up on
suspicion of being implicated with Parker in

Narrow Escape From Death.

HOTEL GUESTS UNCONSCIOUS FROM BREATHING
ILLUMINATING GAS.
Last night Mr.. NJ. Stoddard, resident of
New York state. and q companion engaged a
room at the Elkton hotel Mr.. Stoddard retired
early and left the light burning for
his companion. Later in the night
the latter appeared and retired.
When he entered the room the light was out.
How it came to go out no one knows. They
had an engagement to meet friends at an early
hour this morning, and when their friends
appeared and knocked at the door
they received no response. The door
was opened and the strong smell of illuminat-
ing gas explained the cause of the failure of the
occupants Of the room to answer their call
MIR. Stoddard was asphyxiated, but his
companion had not received SO
severe dose of the gas. He
was soon resuscitated, but friends found it nee
essary to summon physician to attend Stod-
dard. DR.. F. +. Chamberlain responded, and I'M
der his care Mr.. Stoddard soon recovered from
the effects of the gas. He is yet sick man,
but no doubts are entertained but that he will
fully recover.

THE TIME FOR AN ADVANCE IN PRICES THOUGHT
NOT TO HAVE ARRIVED YET.
NEW YORK, March 2S.-The coal agents held
a secret meeting at the Fifth Avenue hotel this
morning. The general sentiment seemed to be
that the time was fully a week too soon to take
any definite action in regard to an advance in
prices.
The meeting was of the dealers interested in
the western anthracite business and there was
large representation. Further action was de-
ferred until April 4, to which date the meeting
adjourned.
