Gen. Grant Ruled Blanks.

Upon him the acknowledgement put
the critical eye, when Grant applied to
him, and seemed, like all the others, to
be disposed to measure the unassum-
ing man by his clothes rather than by
his record and his intelligence.
He, too. said: We'll, l don't know
that there is anything you can do to
help us. We are pretty well organ
lied But" he added, hold on; you
must know how to rule blanks for the
making out of such reports as we make
up. You certainly learned how to do
that when you were in the army"
"Oh. yes replied Captain Grant. 81
know how those blanks should be
ruled
We'll you see," continued the adj
jutant-general, I'VE are short of these
blanks. The department at Washing
ton cannot forward us the printed
blanks as fast as we need them, the
demand is so great. 1 think I'll set
you to work ruling blanks. You may
come around tomorrow"
Captain Grant came. according to ap-
pointment, and paper, ink and pen with
ruler were given to him. But he was
not permitted to have a desk in the
room where most of the clerks of the
Acknowledgement worked. That was a
room we'll carpeted, room with hand
some desks and other convenient and
comfortable furniture. Just outside OF
it was a little ante-room, where the
floor was bare, and the only furniture
was plain table and hard-bottomed
chair. There they put Captain Grant
and set him to work ruling blanks; and
thus. in that humblest of clerical work,
he who was a few years later to COM
mand all it's armies, and finally to rule
the nation, began his formal service in
the war.

ing to the suppression of the ornamen-

eager glee of a street urchin inquiring
of some honest fellow, in town "or

to wear this most unmartial looking

Mr. Whittier could not remember in
cidents that happened before he was 6
years old. His first recollection was of
the auction sale of farm in the neigh
borhood, and he was surprised to find,
the next morning, that the farm had
not been taken away by the purchaser,
and a large hole left in it's place. When
he was years Of age, President Monroe
visited New England. and happened to
be at Haverhill on the same day that
a menagerie, with a circus attachment,
was exhibited in that village. The
Quaker Boy was not allowed the privi-
lege of seeing either the collection of
wild beasts or the chief magistrate of
the nation. He did not care much for
the former, but he was anxious to see a
president of the United States. The
next day he trudged all the way to Ha-
verhill, determined to see at least some
footsteps in the street that the great
man had left behind him. He found
at last an impression of an elephants
foot in the road, and, supposing this to
be Monroe's track. he followed it as tar
as he could distinguish it. Then he
went home. satisfied he had seen the
footsteps of the greatest man in the
country. When he was an old man a
little girl in Pennsylvania wrote to him
inquiring about his childhood on the
farm. These passages are from his
reply:
II think, at the age of which thy note
inquiries, 1 found about equal satisfac-
ton in an old rural home, with the
shifting panorama of the seasons, in
reading the few books within my reach,
and dreaming of something wonderful
and grand somewhere in the future.
Neither change nor loss had then made
me realize the uncertainty of all earthly
things. 1 felt secure of my mother 5
love, and dreamed of losing nothing and
gaining much. had at that time a
great thirst for knowledge and little
means to crafty it. The beauty of out
ward nature early impressed me, and
the moral and spiritual beauty of the
holy lives 1 read of in the Bible and
other good books also affected me with
a sense of my falling short and longing
for better state."-From Life and Let
ters of John Greenleaf Whittier.

Tender and True.

For a long time a tall, spare man,
past life's meridian, kept little tailor
ing shop on Third street in Walla
Walla where he eked out at best but
precarious existence. He said but
little and walked quietly about as if to
shun acquaintances, or to hide himself
from the knowledge of men. He moved
as one who bore with pain life's burden
and longed to lay it down somewhere.

at peace. So, one day not long ago,
word came that the strange old man
was dead. He was found in a peaceful
sleep, with one hand over his quiet
heart. No one had seen him die. The
day before he told a young girl that
he was sick and would soon be past
the sleeping and waking" AS he had
no relatives there, and no one to speak
In his behalf, there was an inquest, and
among his effects was an old, worn
but loving letter from a sister who
lived in a far off isle in the Southern

The Great American.

1t will not be regared as rank treason
on this natal day, in this generation, to
publish of him in a Southern community
that he was great and good man. He
measured up to the work he was called
on to do, and when he turned to obey
the final summons he had written his
name among the immortals. He held to
the belief that he was elected president
of the whole country as it existed when
he was elected, and should see that the
laws of the union were faithfully exc
cuted in all the states. This was the
pivotal idea of the war for the preser-
walton of the Union. 1t was peculiarly
and emphatically Lincolns idea, and
how well it prevailed let history say
With the lapse of time has come to us
a clearer vision and broader views, and
we have come to recognize him as one
of the earthly great ones, whose laurel
laden brow, made for the morning,
dropped not in the night. 1t would be
fitting to make this his natal day a ma
tional holiday, for all men have come
to know that to Abraham Lincoln was
it chiefly due that a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie did not perish from The earth

To Paw Rent with a Rose.

That unique event, the Feast of
Roses" will occur next Sunday, when
the congregation of Mannheim Zion
Lutheran church will pay the ground
rent upon which the edifice stands by
laying upon the altar one red rose, says
a Philadelphia special Baron William
Henry Stiegel founded Mannheim more
than a century ago. He presented a
plot of ground to the Zion Lutheran
church and stipulated that all it should
cost would be one red rose every June.
Hence the unique ceremony. The rose
is plucked by a certain member of the
congregation. and 1t is laid with great
solemnity upon the altar. There are
special religious services held on that
day. The life and virtues of the gen.
erous baron are retold, hymns are sung.
and prayers said. II next Sunday shall
be fine day a great crowd of people
will assemble at Zion church to see the
sacred rose. Usually, however. bush
els of roses are sent to the altar. al
though one is enough legally to cancel
the rental.

Historical Relic.

No visitor to West Point fails to no.
tice the few links of the iron chain
that lie around the monument up near
the hotel. They are the remains of the
great chain which was stretched across
the Hudson river during the Revolu-
ton, to prevent the British warships
from sailing past the forts and landing
an army or marauding parties. Few
people know that just above the en-
trance to Tuxedo park, on the east side
of the railroad track, are the ruins of
the building in which that chain was
made. They are known as the old
Augusta forge. The western gable and
the south wall are all that are stand
ing. 1t was never anything but a low
stone building, few feet square, and
built by a country mason. 1t was
called a forge because there iron was
reduced from the ore by the old fash
toned charcoal method, and it's coun-
terparts were common all over the
country within the last half century.
1t was owned by the Sterling iron mine
company, one of the largest iron man.

kings of the day and an owner of the
mine, and shortly after General Put

microbe of consumption. If it can be
destroyed, and no doubt it can, there
is an end of death from what are called
natural causes. Let US hope that this

A supposed evidence of judgment and
punishment among birds or else an
accident was supplied recently in an
English sparrow which hung suspended
by a string from the cornice of the
great north doorway of the main build
ing OF Girard College at Philadelphia.
The string was about Il yard long. and
appeared twisted about the neck of the
bird. Just before the event came off a
sort of sparrow convention was held,
as any number of them swept and cir
cled about the place, chattering and act
Ing very noisily This may have been
the session of the court, for the noise
was succeeded by deep silence and
then the unlucky subject of attention
was swung over the line. Project Geo.
w. Price. who is very much of a sci
enlist in his way. said the sparrow had
been hanged for some high crime known
only to birds, while Mr.. Danenhour be-
lieves it was a plain suicide.

A most wonderful cloud-and-light-
hing effect was to be seen the other
night by the residents of Boston as they
looked toward the east. A huge pillar of
clouds stood almost still, as it seemed
for half an hour, and nearly incessant
lightning Illuminated it from within.
The cloud seemed fairly alive with fire.
Now quick glow lighted up the pillar
and set in relief the layers Of white
clouds that made up the large mass.
Now sudden flash of crooked light cut
the air, and disappearing as suddenly
as 1t came, left the mass of vapor dull
and gray again. 1t seemed like an inn
mense forge-the flames from the char
coal fire, thrown aloft by a sudden
breath from the bellows, cast a lurid
glare throughout the smoky shop.
