noticeable, that II seldom proves fatal,

Gem Granf.s Kindness.

Tn all her letters and writings Mary An
derson de Nnvarro's fondncss for the
friends OF her early da VS. is shown. In the
January number of the Philadelphia La
dies Home Journal she recalls some OF
those who lave passed away. notably
Booth, Manager Macauley, John T. Ford,
mate of Gen. Grant: 1T was during my
delightful Southern tour THE first that
DIR. Griffin presented me to Gen.-then
President-Grant, whom he had known in
old soldering days, when the general had
captured and imprisoned him. 1t was
pleasant to see these enemies in war SO
friendly in times of peace. Kindness and
simplicity were marked traits of the Pres
i'leut, while a certain ruggedness of man.
Der and speech that was suggestive OF his
earlier life gave an additional interest To
all he said and did. In showing us over
the White House his pleasure in pointing
out various trophies was undisguised and
boyish. While lunchiug with him, the natu-
raj way in which he brought himself down
10 the level of my youth and small eXpe-
bic condescension so annoying TO the young,
was charming" Meeting him some years
after, and failing to recognize him, Mrs.
dc Navarro records that after his speaking
to her and announcing himself as Gen.
Grant, before she recalled him. he said,
jokingly, in response To her confused ut
terance, that he had $50 changed: Eyes,
l have grown thinner and paler: am no
longer President, You see, and am conse-
Quently less banQueted."

An official statement Is made that hun

company of cotton planters for the next
year from the State prison at Little

This is phase OF State employment of
labor which has for years excited the ami

opposition TO which has resulted in the
abolition of the system In many States
and its prohibition upon public work for
