A Brave Man.

New York man to a Tribune reporter, was once
in gathering ofwomen, when dog, showing
marked signs of rabies, came running at them
If you have never seen mad dog you can have
no idea Of its terrible aspect and of the dread
which it inspires. But this man caught the
mad dog around the neck, jammed it's head
down to the ground, and placed his foot on the
animals throat, holding it there firmly and
eoolly until some one brought him a revolver
He shot the dog as he held it pinned to the
ground, and his hand did not shake in the
slightest. This same man was once crossing a
crowded street in New York, when he saw
child fall directly In front Of the feet of two
car horses. With one hand appraised he caught
the bit of horse, and with the other he brushed
the boy aside. When he extricated himself
from between the horses he dived into the
crowd and hurried away to avoid the cheers

He was lying on the grass smoking, as calm and

was by an old colored aunty. Not considering
that all of 1t meant freedom to her, but being
specially elated at the bright appearance of the

seemed to prevail among the conquerors. If
the South had succeeded would they have been
as lenient? During the speaking an unmiti-
gated ass bobbed up, one of those ROSTERS who
before the war began was going to drink all
the blood that would be "spilt"; "one South

in firing the Southern heart, precipitating 1t
into rebellion" and when in it, secured bomb

The writer had heard those arguments as far
back as he could remember. He had also
heard another thing thaS had made a lasting
impression on him, namely, that Napoleon had
said that God favored those having the

During the speaking the above referred-to
ass had to work his jaw and ash hopper mouth,
but the speaker put perfect estoppe on him
by requesting some one to throw that goose

yelled to the discontinue of the aforesaid

A Cat of Character.
brandon BuckSaW.l

In the mountain districts Of Pennsylvania
two wrens had built their nest under the caves
Of an old farmhouse, aud there they reared a
small and interesting family. Among the at
taches Of the farmers household was a white
cat, and when the wrens became SO tame that
they used to hop around the piazza In search of
several times came within an ace of catching
the adult birds. When the farmer noticed this
he kicked the cat, and she finally learned that
it was dangerous to fool with the wrens.
When the baby wrens grew larger, one of
them one day fell out Of the nest, and, being
too weak to run and unable to fly, lay helpless
on the grass. The cat saw the accident, and
ran rapidly to seize the bird, but, seeming to
remember the lesson taught her, when she
reached the helpless little thing, she only
touched it daintily with her paw and then lay
down and watched it. PIG
Presently there came d black and yellow
garden snake toward the futtering birding.
The cat was doing and was awakened by the
futtering of the bird. Instantly she rose and
struck at the reptile with her paw. This was
an enemy the snake did not appreciate, but 1t
was hungry. 80 it darted forward and attempted
to seize the bird under the very shelter of the
cats head. Ahh
Like fash the cat seized the snake Just
back Of the head and killed it with one bite.
When the farmer happened along in the after
noon he found the cat crouching in the grass
sheltering the bird. and 10 feet away was the
dead snake. This made it clear that the cat
had carried the bird away from the snake, and
the young adventurer was soon restored TO its
anxious parents.

"REMINISCENCES OF GRANT
Two Stories Illustrating His Kind-Hearted-
mesa,


The Rev. Dr. F. c. Iglehaft of the Park
Avenue Methodist Church, in New York City.
preached a sermon On Gen. Grant recently that
has attracted widespread attention and called
out q letter Of approval from the widow of the
dead General.
The address is too long TO print In full in
these columns, but couple of paragraphs from
the discourse will be of interest to the veterans.
In one place DR.. Iglehart gives the following
story showing the tender hearted impulses Of
the great commander. He says:
while on a visit to a resort on the Della.
ware the child of widow was lost and all tho
people in the neigh borhood went out into the
woods to search, Grant among the number.
Toward evening Grant met the mother, who
wept bitterly. He said: Do not cry. We will
find your child He called the people to-
gether and said: I viii give 800 to the
man that will find the child Nine others
made the same proposition, and purse of
$1,000 was offered. This stirred up the COM
munity. and the forest was ablaze with lam
terms Grant, weary and not very well, went
to bed.
AT first be could not sleep 80 anxious was
he about the missing one At last he fell
asleep and dreamed that he crossed marsh,
climbed hill. worked his way through briar
thicket, and found the missing child on the
hill beyond. So impressed with the dream was
he that he arose in the morning, went out into
the woods, crossed marsh, climbed q hill,
worked his way through briar thicket at the
bottom, and on the hill beyond he found the
little aaxen-hsired girl on the ground. asleep,
her head resting on her arm. Grant awoke
her, and she looked him in the face and said
Mamma He took her in his arms, and, after
more than an hours walking brought her 10
her home and gave her to her mother, and he
gave the $1,000 to the widow for her support"
Regarding the ever-interesting days when
the world hung In suspense upon the bulletins
from the sick mans chamber, DR.. Iglehart tells
the following:
"Dr. Newman, the Pastor, was awakened by
one of Gen. Grants sons with the words:
Father is dying; come and haptize him." The
Pastor said: If he is unconscious I cannot do
so.' They knelt In prayer. Arising, the GEN.
sral said: Thank YOU
The minister then mentioned the subject of
his baptism, and he replied: / desire to have
the ordinance administered. / had intended
to do so before In the morning the Pastor
said General, the Doctor said last night you
would not live five Minutes He smiled, and
then, drawing his countenancs into serious
ness, said: Il did not intend to die them The
reason was he loved his wife so intensely that
he would not die till he had provided a support
for her. He lived three months after, long
enough to complete his book, and when the
last line was written he dropped the pen out of
his numb fingers and fell asleep and was gath
cred to his fathers. In selecting place for his
burial he expressly provided that room should
be left By his side for the dust Of his devoted
wife,"

COL. COPPINGER.
Brought from Ireland an Experienced
Soldier, to Help Defend Our Country.

Soldier, to Help Defend Our Country.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As regular
reader of your paper, | have waited several
weeks in hopes that some old soldier, better
qualified to do justice to the subject than l am,
would reply through your columns to the letter
of knownothing crank signing himself Sam
uel j. Henderson, and claiming to belong to
two Ohio regiments Before inditng such a
letter. which is aimed to besmirch the reputation
OF that honorable soldier, Col John J. Coppn-
ger, your correspondent should have satisfied
himself on the previous career and war record
of that officer. A considerate examination of
the value of Col. Coppinger's service to the
Union cause must place his viliier in tho
ranks of the chronic kickers, or as man hav.
ing private and personal grudge.
Col. Coppinger entered the army in the first
year of the rebellion Gs Captain of the 14th U.
s., and through his valor and bravery rose to
be Colonel of the 18th ". Y. Cav. He now is
Colonel of the 23d U. S. In 1861 President
Lincoln sent Archbishop Hughes, of New York,
on mission to Europe, aud on his return he
brought Col Coppinger with him. as a brave
and experienced soldier. His abilities were
appreciated in the hour Of need, and the young
1rishman rose from subordinate position in
the service of this country, whose cause he then
espoused, to the Colonelcy of the 18th N. Y.
Cav.
His omission to go through the formula Of
becoming full-fedged citizen must surely be
palliated by his meritorious services, and the
sobriquet of spy, suggested by your Ohio corre-
spondent, is as absurd as II is visifving. While,
technically, the young soldier had not complied
with the naturalization laws, the facts of his
bearing arms and his having taken the en-
listing oath. which was equivalent to declara-
tion of intention to become citizen, were evil
dence OF his sincere loyalty to the flag of the
Union. Why drag the matter of Gov Boyd's
citizenship into this issue1 This Is foreign to
the subject The utteranccs of your CORES pond
ent are unworthy Of a soldier, and ought to be
speedily repudiated by true veterans.
The country in which was born, the coun-
try that furnished to the Union army such
soldiers as Shields, Meagher, Muligan, Cor
coran and host Of other brave men whose
bodies lie moldering in Virginia soil, has given
to the Union cause no better soldier, no truer
patriot, than Col. Coppinger. While the Irish
and the Germans were true to the Union and
fought in the ranks the Copperheads of your
correspondents State were breeding disloyaIty
through the knights of the Golden Circle and
kindred organizations.
The Irish in the United States are true to
their adopted country, and though alien-born,
cherish with pride their services when they
fought to preserve the unity of this great and
glorious laud.-THoMAs PHELAN, Kansas City,

This Time Said to Have Been Seen

yankee Dan Sullivan bids fair TO be-
come as famous as was the Flying
Dutchman and his supposed appear
ance in any locality creates about as much
CONSERVATION among the residents as did
the spectre ship moving at lightning
speed across the wake of some craft on
the high seas.
But in spite of the many claims set
forth as to seeing the pursued man, it is
not at all probable that all these claims
can be substantiated. Different people,
excited by the lurid descriptions of the
chase after the suspected man, have al
lowed their imaginations to run away
with them until the furtive glance and
hunted look of the criminal Is detected In
almost everyone with whom they come In
contact.
But as yet both yankee DAM and his
companion, Dalton, are among the miss
ing. Although a claim is now advanced
by the employees on the steamer Pilgrim
of the Fail River line that Sullivan was
seen i'm New York Saturday, there is
not much weight given to this supposi
tion, and there are many about here who
still persist In holding out that the man
is in hiding hereabouts.
A fresh link in the chain of circumstan-
tial evidence against both Sullivan and
Dalton was developed recently. One of
the prominent private detectives in this
city saw Sullivan on the morning follow
ing the murderous assault on the old
man on the Crawford street bridge, and
knowing him by sight inquired of him
what was the matter.
Sullivan responded and stated that he
was in very deep trouble, but refused to
state the trouble. At this time Haswell
was still living Both Sullivan and Dal-
ton were seen in a barroom on North
Main street in the afternoon and were OBJ
served by different people while going to-

IL has been ascertained that Sullivan
was in greatly reduced circumstances

For time Sullivan had a desk in an
