came TO President Grant at the capitol.
The subject was proposed to his cab
met, and turning to me he asked what
| thought of the proposition from q
postal standpoint. | told him, and he
asked me to put my views in writing.
He then turned to Hamilton Fish
and asked him to write out his views
on the subject from a diplomatic
standpoint. We both did so, and we
both favored the taking of the line.
Gen. Grant took the two statements and
rapidly wrote an introduction and a
conclusion to them. He then sent this
in to the senate as message. In 1t he
advised the taking of the line, and had
congress acted on it the American flag
to-day would float over some of the
finest ships Of the world, and the inter-
eSts of American trade would have been
furthered by this.
do you still think, General, that the
United States would have been bene-
flied by the reelection of President
Grant,"
II do. Gen. Grant was a man OF
steady growth. He was a careful OBJ
server, and the effect of his foreign tour
and his intercourse with the great
statesmen of the world and his knowl-
edge gained from his observation Of the
governments of other countries would
have made him an invaluable president.
Had he been nominated he would surely
have been elected, and he would have
done more to bring the South and the
North together than any other man pos
Sibly could have done. This was his
great desire in thinking of possible re-
election"

HAMLiNE NOTES.

The members of the Band OF Hope
held very delightful little reception
Friday evening at the home of Mrs. E.
b. Webb ON Pascal avenue. There
were about fifty Of the little people
present. A unique feature of the oeca-
sion were the costumes worn in repre-
sentatiOn OF various characters taken
from history, from the Bible, and mod
ern literature. There was no prepared
programme of any sort, but the young
people. Notwithstanding their quaint
and picturesque costumes, went in for
regular froIic. To the older people
present the scene was an altogether de-
lightfu one. 1t certainly was novel
spectacle to see fifty children in long
powdered hair and false wigs,
dancing about in the widest glee.
and the room ringing with merry
peals OF Joyous laughter, but 1t was
none the less charming. Some of the
lows: Patience, Dolly Adams; Helen

for the non-elect. This light reading
formed Senator Blair's first intellectual
pabulum. He says:
IL read at those books before that
open fire, and remember that when
was about nine years old got 1t into
my head that had committed the ulf.
pardonable sin. This objectionable sin
was, you know, one Of the cardinal
points of the old theology. The books
did not state what this sin was and the
preachers did not seem to know, but il
was as certain as death that he who
committed it could have no forgive
ness, and that he was fore
ordained to the hottest fires of the
lower region for an eternity of ages.
Well, thought L had committed 1t. l
thought was bound to be damned, and
for weeks L lost sleep at night and
worried and fretted all the day
over my condition. think l should
have gone crazy il / had not
gotten relief and my relief came from
an old volume on the objectionable
sin. These consisted Of sermons by
stated that the fact that person
thought he had committed the
objectionable sin was an evidence
that he had not committed it, for if he
had committed it, being damned all
ready. the fires of repentance could not
touch his heart, and he would 20 on
blindly to his destruction. This re-
lieved me greatly, and after o
time nv dread of the sin passed
away and l regained my usual health.
| shall never forget the terror, though.
that felt, and am glad to say that re-
ligion grows more liberal as the world
grows older" FRANK G. CARPENTER.

LED OUT 10 DIE.
The Story OF "a Deserter Who Died
of Fright.

Detroit Free Press.
DesertIons from the Federal army had
become so frequent and had SO democrat
lied certain regiments and brigades that
it was determined. in the winter of 1861,
to put stop to them by inflieting the
penalty prescribed by army regulations.
A general order that this would be done
was read in every camp, and 1t, no
doubt. served as warning to some.
There we've others, however, who were
not to be inundated, and on the
night of the day the order was
issued man in my company coolly
left us. He went out OF the camp
in the wagon of teamster, and be-
fore roll call next morning was far
away. His name was Hardness. and
be could not even plead inconsistencies
as an excuse. He had neither home
nor hear relatives, but was tough
young fellow of twenty-five. A week
after his desertion he got into some
trouble in Washington, the papers pub
lished his name, ard in that way he
was located anu brought back.
A court martial was called. a trial
had and Hardness was convicted and
sentenced to be shot. The day OF exc
cution was set for week ahead. This
was, suppose, that the matter might
be generally talked about in the
whole army corps, and so it was.
AL noon. when Hardness was IN
formed of his fate. he was red
faced and showed no trace of anxiety.
Four hours later. when l came on
guard, had to look twice to be sure
that it was he. His face was very pale,
care lines appeared here ami there, and
his eyes were suDken. Had he been ill
for month the change could have been
40 greater. 1t was the shadow Of death.
On the morning OF the day he was led
out to die. Ii ,rtnesS was as weak as a
child. believe he lost at least twenty
five pounds of flesh within the week.
For an hour or two he prayed and wept
by turns. Then he got his nerve and
braced up for the inevitable. Not one
word did he say as he marched to the
place of execution. He looked around at
the soldiers gathered there, but | don't
think he saw single face. | think he
was stone blind from fear. When blind
folded he moaned out, but sat bolt up
right. At the first low word spoken by
the officer in command of the firing
party Hardness fell over backward. and
wien he was lifted up it was found
that he was dead--dtad of sheer fright.
