How President Grant Met the Objection OF
n Dissatisfe d Sailor.
CorraaDondent Vankea ri abe

How President Grant Met the Objection OF
n Dis-atisfe d Sailor.
Correspondent Yankee Bl ade.
Il remember an incident that clearly il
Illustrates General Grants character. When
/ was Secretary of the Navy some hundreds
of the sailors of the better class came TO me
and asked TO have come rank given them.
They did not care about an increase OF pay,
they said. but they wanted relative rank.
i could not do anything for them. but they
came several times and were rather impor-
tunate. and / finally led q delegation of
them over to the White House and let them
present their petition to President Grant
In person.
They told him what they wanted, and
and argued for O redress of their griev-
ances plainly but forcibly. At last nm old
boatsw ain came 10 the front, and, hitching
up his trousers and turning his quid, said:
Mr.. President. j can put this ere matter
SOS You can see II plain. Now. here | be- o
parent-in fact. n father. My son is a md
shipman. He outranks me. don't you OBJ
serve' That Amt right. don't you seer
"'Indeedv said Grant. Who appointed
1.-THE Secretary here.' the bo'sun said.
and. encouraged by the question. he went
on: 1t amt right. don't you see. that l
should be beneath i'm. Wy. of | was to 80
on his ship the boy l brought MP to
obejence wonld boss his own father. Jest
think Of hat. An he has better quarters'n
ne. an better grub. nice furniture. an oil
that-sieeps In q nice soIt ped, an Gil that.
Seer
YES the President s~aid-'yes. the
world is full of inequalities. / know of O
case quite similar 10 yours.'
The old bo'sun gave another hitch to his
lower gear.
IL know of an old fellow said General
Grant. who is u postmaster of O little town
In Kentucky. He lives in a plain way In q
small house. He is a nice old man. but he
lent much in rank. His son ontranks him
more than your son does you. His son lives
IN Washington. In the biggest house there,
and he IL surrounded by the incest furni-
ture, and eats and drinks anything he takes
q notion TO. He could remove his father
from office In a minute If ne wanted to; but
be doesn't want TO. And the old man
that's Jesse Grant. you kn~ow-doesn't seem
to care about the inequality in rank. /
suppose he Is glad 10 see his boy get along
in the world
The old bo'sun looked down ut the car
pet aud tried to bore O hole In 1t with his
toe. and his comrades all laughed at him
ioyously and slapped him on the back. and
filed out In great glee. Ii was the last l
ever heard of the petition or the petit
tlonere.n

Then. in preparation for shipment. IL IS
packed into hogsheads containing about
one thousand pounds.
If the tobacco is designed to become plug
when It is received at the factory
1t is ~unpacked and stripped. that is. the
center stem of the leaf Is removed by girls,
which. in the South. are usually colored.
or what is termed the poor white trash"
room. where the licorice and other flavor
ing matter is mixed with the leaf. The
caeed tobacco is then put into q press and
pressed into large sheets, which are after
wards cut into pieces the size of the plug
desired and taken TO thu Gaping room.
where they receive q wrapper. From the
Gaping room they again go TO a press. ana
are then packed into the familiar boxes or
caddies, as seen in the stores.
1t Is needless to say that In the manu-
facture of the chewing article little regard
is given to cleanliness and literally every
thing goes" Did the average chewer of
tobacco know the amount OF NTH he was
masticating with every "chaw" be would
probably conclude that he would smoke
instead.
Naturally. in the handling of tobacco
around the warehouses and factories there
is more or less waste which cannot be
used. in the way of tobacco dust. which
usually contains more ~traneou matter
than tobacco. Together with stems and
the poorest quality of Jugs which
are hit for nothing else. this is
used In the manufacture OF 6nuff.
To the people of the North. who,
if they use this article at all. habitually
use 1t merely as it's name would signify by
snufhDg it occasionally into the nostrils.
the importance of its manufacture is not
appreciated. In the South there is a great
deal of snuff dipping" among the women.
This with them is akin TO the habit of
chewing among the men. The snuff is taken
on q molstened brush. which, however. is
oftener a twig with the end chewed to o
pulp. and put into the mouth instead of
the nostrils and used as has been said
much as the other sex chew the weed. The
habit prevails only among low class
women In cities of the North.

CHICAGO. April S.-A boom in May

May at one time showed q gain OF nearly

main influence. Business was fairly good.
but only active for short periods. The
bull cliques in wheat and provisions made
themselves felt in each Of those speciaities.
Compared with last night. corn is $50
higher and provisions n irregu-
larry higher TO q limited extent.
While no rain was in sight in
Kansas. il was reported freezing

that the Missouri State crop report had
been made public. making the wheat con-
ditions SO and "a per cent. an increase in
the average. This. at the time caused q
reaction from the top prices reached. but
with all q firm feeling existing. The re-
ceipts for the last week were considerably
larger-about 500, 600 bushels more-sndt the
export clearings were smaller. so that no
large decrease in the visible supply Is ex-
-pected-perhaps SOC. 600 bushels.
Corn was moderately active. but kept

Business in hog products was lighter

GRANT AS A SPHINX.

What John Sherman Thought Of the Gen-
erals Position In @
Tho following letter is printed In the con.
GLIDING part OF the correspondence OF Gen.
eral and Senator Sherman In the Century
for April:
MANSFIELD, o., Aug. 9. 1867.
Dear Brother-It is now becoming ex.
Grant wants in connection with the presi-
dency. If he has really made mp his mind
that he would like to hold that Office be
can have IT. Popular opinion is all IN his
favor. His position Is the rare one of law
Ing that office within his easy reach, and
yet it is clear that his interest is against
his acceptance. The moment he is nomi-
mated he at once becomes the victim of
shield him. Our politics for years will DO
q maelstrom. destroying and building up
regulations with rapidity. My conviction
is clear that Grant ought not to change has
present position to that of President. and.
If he Declines. then. by all odds. Chase il
the safest man for the country. Heis wise,
polItic and safe. Our finances. the public
credit and the general interests OF
all parts Of the country would be safe with
HIM. His opinions are advanced on the
suffrage question, but this waived. no

in his way unless he is foolish enough TO
connect his future with the Democratic
party. This party cannot dictate the next
President. They would deaden any man
they praise. Even Grant could not over
come any fellowship with them. If they
should take Q wise course in future politis
cal questions. their course during the wal
will bar their way. You may not think so.
but know il. The strength is with the
Republicans. not or the Butler stripe. bue
with Just that kind OF men who would bs
satisfied with the position OF Grant. The
suffrage and reconstruction questions
will be settled before the election,
and in such q way as to secure the Repub-
lican party an even chaDoe III every
southern State except Kentucky.
II agree with you that Indian wars will
not cease until all tho Indian tribes areet-
sorbed in our population. and can be con-
trolled by constables instead OF soldiers.
IL mean TO remain as quiet as possible
this fall. am not now in high favor with
she Radicals. and eau afford 10 w~aitawhile.
The election in OHIO will 90 as usual. The
suffrage amendment will be adopted by o
close vote, and that will settle forever the
negro question IN Ohio. A reaction and
struggle my occur In the Soutb, but no
change will occur in tho loyal States until
they divide on financial questions. This 10
inevitabla after the next election. Aztec
