a vanced upon the intruder. Mr.. Chinn

1t is noteworthy that though in each
Of the American crematories more men
than women have been cremated the
movement abroad was practically begun
by women, Lady Dixie Of England and
q German woman having been ere
mated at Dresden. When efforts were
made in the years 1874 on the conti-
nent of Europe, in England and in the
United States in favor of the cremation
of the dead, Lady Rose Mary Crawshay
was one Of its prominent advocates. A
number of well known women In this
country have expressed themselves de
cidedly in favor Of cremation. Among
them are Olive Thorne Miller, Mrs.
Lippincott, Mrs. j. O. Oroly. Mrs. Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, Mrs. Alice d. lie Plon-
geon, the late Kate Field. Rose Eliza
beth Cleveland and Edith Thomas. At
q public meeting Mrs. Darlington Booth
referred to the time when her body
should be carried to the crematory. The
total number of cremations in the Unit
cd States from 1876, when the first Gre
matory was established, to the close of
1895, was reported to be 4,647. The
number of men cremated in New York
is more than double the number of wom-

GRANT AND PORTER.
The Latters First Meeting with His Sub
scquent Chief.

The Latter's First Meeting with His Sub
scquent Chief
While sitting in my quarters in the
little town of Chattanooga about an
hour after nightfall OH tho evening of
Friday, Oct 23, 1868, an orderly
brought me message from General
George II. Thomas, commander of the
Army Of the Cumberland, on whose
staff was serving, summoning me to
headquarters. A storm had been raging
for two days, and u chilling rain was
still falling, A few minutes walk
brought me to the plain wooden, one
story dwelling occupied by the COM
mander. which was situated on Walnut
street, near Fourth, and upon my ar
rival l found him in the front room ON
tho left side of the hall. with three
members of hisst and several strange
officers.
In an armchair facing the fireplace
was seated general officer, slight in
figure and Of medium stature, whose
face bore an expression Of wenrincss
lie was carelessly dressed, and his uni
form coat was unbottoDed. and thrown
back from his chest He held lighted
cigar in his mouth and sat in stoop-
ing posture. with his head bent slightly
forward His clothes were wet, and his
trousers and topboots were spattered
with mud. General Thomas approached
this officer, and, turning to me and
mentioning me by name. said, ~ want
70 present You to General Grant.
Ihereupon the officer seated in the
chair, without changing his position.
glanced up, extended his arm to its full
length, shook hands and said in low
voice and speaking slowly. How do
you dor" This was my first meeting
with the man with whom l was des-
tined afterward to spend so many of the
most interesting years of my life.
The strange officers present were
members Of General Grants staff.
CHARLES A. Dana, assistant secretary Of
war, who had been for some time with
inc Army of the Cumberland, had also
entered the room. The next morning he
sent dispatch to the war department,
beginning with the words. "Grant az

FLINDERS oF SPEAKERS.

Humorous Instances.
Mr.. Joseph Malins, himself we'll
known public speaker, gives The Wom-
ans Signal some amusing instances of
The humors of public speaking. It is.
he thinks, n lack Of huency that causes
tho sneaker so often to blunder. Mr..
Mains has listend TO temperance ora

glass. " He heard q notable lady speaker

tho world with no more idea of home

ftelingly told his audience that IL was

which did tho most good" The state
ments that 1.-THE previous speakers sug-
pestions were very suggestive" and that
another speakers remarks were mis-
calculated &c mislead'' Mr., Malins also
mentions.
Then there is the speaker who always
misplaces his chs" ard who prays THAT
wo might be brought to the halter. 4"
There was flight of fancy when the
speaker asked, Suppose if modern
balloon dropped upon an uninhabited
island, what would tho natives say?"
The scientific lecturer said of his com.
ing experiment that "all depends upon
the present condition of the body about
to be created" A town councillor spoke
Of "the rivers and streams that abut
Oh the borough boundaries. Among
Mr.. Malin's other examples is the speak
er who began with saying, 1.-The proper
study Of mankind in general is the-the
study of mankind in general" where
upon an urchin in the audience cried
out, You're a-goin in at the same hole
you came out at.
No less embarrassed was the old gen.
tleman, who. stumbling through an
after dinner speech, said, IL have
no more TO say, and so-and so-I1l
make few more remarks" The build
er frankly declared he was "more fitted

heard to welcome speaker as one who
is always with US, and we wish he

ended that the chairman asked the au-

1t is curious thing the power which
some human beings have over animals.
There is in Lowell n boy. differing in no
respect from his companions. who has
this power in marked degree. Every
stray dog or cat in the neighborhood
knows him and loves to DO in his COM
pany. A vicious horse which the stable
man can with difficulty handle will
stand like lamb while he harnesses
and unharnesses him. The doves fly
around him, and in the woods the wild
birds apparently regard him as friend
and ally.
The most remarkable exhibition of
his power, which has long been known
and commented on by his friends, was
given the other day. A large and vi
cious rat was captured in the stable in
one of those traps which permit Of easy
ingress and no egress. The men who
were looking at the animal were afraid
to go near the trap, the animal showed
such terror, but the boy, when no be.
held the imprisoned creature, fearlessly
put out his finger and stroked its head,
the rat manifesting as much pleasure as
would u cat or dog. London Star.
