An Instance of tho Generals Extraordi-
nary Goodness.
The wife of gallant soldier, who
was famous for his intrepidity and
GOODNESS in battle, undertook to rally
him in a company of friends upon his
nervousness and excitability at home.
She declared that she had seen him
jump out of a chair when mouse ran
across the floor, and that his face had
turned white and his hands had
trembled when one of his dogs upset
the fire-irons in the parlor.
"a man may be courageous" said
the general, without having tough
and hardened nerves. When l was
heading a charge upon the enemy's
works, or standing in the open field a
mark for sharpshooters, did not
know the meaning of fear; but the
sudden cry of a nightbird in the woods
would set me trembling from head to
foot. A battle, with it's continuous
cannonading and carnage, never affect
ed me, but l lost color and turned cold
whenever anything unexpected hap
pened."
That was form of nervous excita-
bility from which Gen. Grant was
singularly free. One of the wartime
photographers recently related an ir-
cident which illustrated his eXtraor-
dinary GOODNESS.
1t occurred soon after the generals
arrival in Washington from the west
to take command of the Army of the
Potomac. Secretary Stanton accom-.
panied him to a well-known gallery
where his photograph was to be taken.

Suddenly there was tremendous
crash and a shower of broken glass fell
around the general. A boy, who had
been sent to the roof to pull off the
tarpaulin cover in order to let in a
stronger light had fallen through the
slylight to his waist and had smashed
the heavy plate glass.
Gen. Grant neither tlinched nor moved
a muscle. He glanced up at the sky
light where the struggling boys legs

BACK WITH RICH TROPHIES.

Last spring notice was made in these
columns that Mr.. Henry A. Salzer, of
the John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse.
Wis, Americas leading Seed Growers
and Merchants, was in Europe in search
of rare seeds and novelties for the
American farmer and citizen.
Judging from their new catalogue, his
trip was an eminently successful one.
1t is brim full of rare things. OF es-
pecial merit we name the Bismarck
Apple, bearing the second year; the
Giant Flowering Star Phlox, the Ger
man Coffee Berry; and for the farmer
the Victoria Rape, Germanica Vetch,
the Lathyrus silvestris, the Giant Spur
ry and Giant Incarnate Clover; SAGA
line, and dozens of other rare things.
This wide-awake firm is in the van,
and their catalogue, which is sent you
! for cents postage, would be cheap at
81 per copy.

"We also have over five hundred thou

result of the target practice in Texas.

Grass rules. 1t is the most valuable
crop of America, worth more than
either corn or wheat. Luxurious mead

prise them and say they get to tons
