When General Grant was in Ireland in
1879, on his tour around the world, Mr.. j,
A. O'Shea was in his train as newspaper
correspondent. On the way from Dublin
to Derry the cars stopped at Portadown,
and Mr. O'Shea FASTENED into the refresh
ment room after something to eat. He was
uibbling a sandwich and chatting with the
barmaid, when a voice at his left quietly
demanded Il glass of lemonade and II bis
cult. The voice belonged to General Grant.
The correspondent finished his luncheon
and was turning to 90 when the barmaid
said;
TELL me. is it true General Grant is
passing by this line today?"
Eyes, | believe you are correctly in
formed"
you are an American, aren't you"
- have not that privilege"
Would you know General Grant if you
saw him"
II think | should.
''What like is he? | suppose he is fine
looking man. Do you know when he will
pass? If you are here will you point him
out to us?"-this all in Il breath
Il should be happy to oblige, but | am
leaving by the next train"
The general all this time "munched his
biscuit and slipped his lemonade, his face
as impassive as an Italian image" and the
hero worshiping barmaid was none the
wiser-Youth's Companion.

An Anecdote of Tad Lincoln.

One of the prettest incidents in the clos
ing days of our civil war occurred when
the troops marching home again" passed
in grand form, if with we'll worn uniforms
and tattered bunting, before the White
House. Naturally an immense crowd
had assembled on the streets, the lawns,
porches, balconies and windows, even those
of the executive mansion itself being crowd
ed to excess.
A central figure was that of the presi-
dent, Abraham Lincoln, who, with barred
head, unfurled and waved our nations flag
in the midst of Iusty cheers But suddenly
there was an unexpected sight. a small
boy leaned forward and sent streaming to
the air the banner of the boys in gray. 1t
was an old flag which had been captured
from the Confederates, and which the
urchin, the presidents son, Tad, had OBJ.
tanned possession of and considered an adj
ditional token of triumph to unfurl on this
all important day. Vainly did the servant
who had followed him to the window plead
with him to desist. No, Master Tad, the
pet of the White House, was not to be pre-
vented from adding to the loyal demon
stration of the hour.
To his surprise. however, the crowd
viewed it differently. Had it floated from
any other window in the capital that day,
no doubt it would have been the target of
contempt and abuse, but when the presi-
dent, understanding what had happened,
turned with a smile on his grand, plain
face and showed his approval by gesture
and expression, cheer after cheer rent the
air. 1t was surely enough the expression
of peace and good will which, of all our
commanders. none was better pleased to
promote than the commander in chief

THE BEST OF REASONS.

The reason why ALLcocK's PoRous PLAs-
TIERS are popular is that they may be relied
on TO cure:
l. Lame back, sciatica, stiffness or witch
ing of the muscles.
2 Chest troubles, such as pleurisy, pneu-
monia, consumption,
B. Indigestion, dyspepsia, biliousness,
kidney complaint.
The success, however, will depend upon
the genuineness of the plaster used. The
popularity of AuCoCK's PoRous PLAsrERs
has been so great that multitudes OF imlta-
