An Instance Of the Generals EItraordi-
nary Goodness
The wife Of a gallant soldier, who
was famous Tor 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 tire-irons In the parlor.
"a man may be courageous" said
the general, without having tough
and hardened nerves. When was

works, or standing in the open field
mark for sharpshooters, did not
know the meaning Of fear; but the
sudden cry Of q night-bird In the woods
would set me trembling from head to
foot. A battle, with Its continuous
cannonading and carnage, never affect
ed me, but ! lost color and turned cold
whenever anything unexpected hap
pened."
That was form OF nervous excita'
bility from which Cen Grant was
singularly free One Of the wartime
photographers recently related an In

binary 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 well-known gallery
where his photograph wa, to be taken.
The general dropped into seat be-
meath the skylight before the camera
which the photographer was adjust

Suddenly there was a tremendous
crash and q 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

skylight to his waist and had smashed
the heavy plate glass.
Gen. Grant neither 1inched nor moved
q muscle. lie glanced up at the sky
light where the struggling boys legs
were dangling above him, but he
neither spoke nor left his seat. There
was slight drawing up Of the nos
trils, and that was all, the veteran
photographer takes pains to explain.
Secretary Stanton, who was nerv.

pale and drew the operator into the
dark room.

Why the Old Soldiers Felt Honered ~
His Parting Words.


When Hank Hoag left our town Tor
the war he parted from the prettiest
little sweetheart man ever had. 10
took her picture with him, and downin
the malarial swamps Of Virginia ne
seldom said his prayers, but looked
often at his sweetheart's picture One
summers day news came that Hank
had lost his life while bravely fighting
In the ranks, Hanks sweetheart cried
some, was condoled with by numerous
friends--and got married the next year
10 a well-to-do middle-aged grocer,
But Hank was not killed In battle,
and he came home one fine day and
found his Amelia Q happy wife and
mother. No one knew that Hank sui
fered very much when he learned that
his dreams--and they must have been
many, during the dark days Of 6l.'d5--
had ended SO contrary to his anticipa-
tons. He quietly left the city, and we
saw him no more until along in the
seventies.
One day when the sunlight was
warming the broad street Of the town
and the stream Of life was flowing by
in the varied shapes and colors which
clothe thoroughfare with variety we
saw Hank again lie stood on cor
ner, with his soft, battered military
hat tipped forward on his ruddy nose,
n twinkle in his honest blue eyes and
his general appearance shabby but
neat, You had only to glance at him
to see that he was veteran. On a

A MODEL BANK.

| y MODEl1 BAN IA.
Among the many commodious
places of business in the city of
Monterey the new banking building
of Francisco Armendaiz and its in
terror arrangement deserves special
mention. The building is situated
on the corner of Teatro street and
HidalgO plaza. On entering the
banking department the visitor is
struck with the simple yet elegant
workmanship displayed. The couu-
ter is finished IN polished ash, with
columns and panels of curly ash
which very closely resembles birds
eye maple, and will in few days be
surmounted by wire screens and
ratings of the'latest design.
At the counter will be found Mr..
joaquin Armendaiz, ready to wait
on customers. assisted by a sufficient
number of clerks to keep business
moving with the promptness for
which this house is noted.
Behind the counter and in the
rear portion of the counting room is
large and commodious apartment
furnished with a steel vault for the
security and safe keeping of money
and valuables, and furnished with
all modern conveniences.
The flooring of this bank is the
handiwork of Senior Eduardo Gaia
of Monterey, and is both artistic and
durable. and is as good a specimen
of thing as will be found in any
country.
The ceilings of the hall and both
the inner rooms are especially rich
and artist in design and finish.
Across the hall, and in the rear of
the main counting room, is the pri
vate office of Mr.. Armendaiz. This
cosy room is furnished in walnut
and leather and the pictures adorn-
ing the walls give an air of comfort
to the apartment.
The banking house of Francisco
Armendaiz was established away
back in the 40's, the principal or
parert house being located in this
city, and branches at Matamoros.
Mier, Laredo and other points. OF
late years, however, the business has
been contracted in Monterey and Ma
tamoros. The bank has correspond
ents in London, Hamburg, Paris,
Madrid, New York and other con-
tinental and American cities, and
enjoys the confidence of all with
whom it does business, and is gen.
orally known as one Of the most re-
sponsible and solid institutions of

Houston Age.
We may almost as well look for
the millennium to come as for tie
enactment of law that viii give
security to land titles, but it locks as
if the Torrens system may be an i'm
portant step in that direction. An
exchange saws:
AT the late election Chicago adopt
ed the Torrens system of registering
land titles, as authorized by the last
Missouri legislature. Like the new
ballot system the Torrens plan is
called the Australian system, as it is
in use in the Australian colonies of
Great Britain. 1t is also used in ia
pan. Illinois is the first state in the
Union to adopt it, Where it has
been used, it has given great salts
faction. 1t has the great advantages
of simplicity, economy and safety in
the transfer of real estate. 1t aims
to make realty transfer as simple as
that of stocks or other securities.
The state gives guarantee of title,
and the certificate issued by the state
can be assigned like any other nego-
table paper. All previous transac-
tons are wiped out and no abstracts
of title nor examinations of title are
needed. The title is put forever at
rest, and the transfer can thereafter
be made quickly and with very small
expense.

POliteness.

The politest brakeman we ever saw
was on the train Oh which we occupied a
seat during recent trip down the road.
His pOliteness was of the natural order
without affectation. He seemed to de-
sire the comfort of the passengers, and
he possessed civility not altogether nm
common, for the Santa Fe trainmen are
generally civil and polite. But the
politest manner was possessed by a
young lady who got on at one of the way
stations, and stood up liz the aisle until
the conductor came along and offered her
seat.
