GRANT AND PORTER.
The Latters First Meeting With His Sub.

(To be continued.)

The Latter's First Meeting With His Subj
sequent Chief.
While sitting in my quarters in the
little town of Chattanooga about an
hour after nightfall on the evening of
Friday, Oct. %, 1868, an orderly
brought me a message from General
George Fl. Thomas, comm ander Of the
Army of the Cumberland, on whose
staff / was serving, summoning me to
headquarters A storm had been raging
for two days, and 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 I found him in the front room on
the left side of the hall, with three
members of his staff 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 weariness.
He was carelessly dressed, and his uni
form coat was unbottoned 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, 81 want
to present you to General Grant "
Thereupon the officer seated in the
chair, without changing his position,
glanced up, extended his arm to its full
length, shook bands and said i'll a low
voice and speaking slowly, "How do
you do?'' This was my first meeting
with the man with whom I 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
the Army of the Cumberland, had also
entered the room. The next morning he
sent dispatch to the war department,
beginning with the words, "Grant ar
rived last night wet. dirty and well. :"

eral Horace Porter, in Century.

Time Occupied by Dreams.

The time occupied by dream is one
of the marvels of sleep. In the work en-
titled "The Philosophy of Mystery we
read of a man who dreamed that he had
enlisted as a soldier; that he had Joined
his regiment and travelled to foreign
country that he finally deserted on ac-
count of the harsh treatment he had re-
ceived at the hands of his superior Off
GERS; that he had been apprehended
and carried back to his regiment; that
upon arriving there he was tried by court
martial, condemned to be shot and was
led out for execution. At this moment
the guns of the executioners exploded.
and the sound awoke the dreamer. 1t
was clear now that loud noise IN an
adjoining room had both produced the
dream and awakened the dreamer a.
most at the same moment.

Her Loss His Gain.

Dramatis PERSONA, small street

woman carrying her pocketbook in her
hand. Coming toward her the ubiqui-
tous man who rescues damsels i'll dis

muddy crossing the young woman drop
ped her pocketbook in the mud. 1t fell
open, and the usual assortment of thim-
bles, pennies, scissors, samples and
dimes was scattered broadcast.
"Allow me-" said the young man.
and the owner of the pocketbook blush
ed becomingly and allowed him to go
down on his knees in the mud to rescue
her possessions. When he had picked up
the rolling dimes and pennies and re-
stored them with the other articles to
the purse, he saw that she was still un-

"Oh, and lifting his hat he walked

"thank you" for the service. But then
she was very pretty.
There is climax to this story. When
the young woman had ceased looking
for lost property, she went on her way,
and the street gamin darted across the
street from his post of observation, and

cure of these unhealthy states of the body,
as evinced by repeated attacks OF rheuma-

If you are out of health or respondent

Here is the experience-like that of hun
dreds of others-of Mrs. Lydia NJ. Hayden
of Marion, Ind:
Before commencing the use of Paine g

doctors, and tried many remedies, but did
not get any better. l seemed to be all
broken down. 1 was tired all the time, and
my constitution seemed to be giving out.

In less than two months L weighed ia

had better health ever since, and have felt
better this summer than / have for years.
" My little daughter was away from home
on visit, and came home looking as if she
had had a hard sickness. l went right
away and got her bottle of Paine's celery
com pound, and she has had better health
since than she ever had in her life, eats
hearty and is growing fast"
There is no woman, who, In justice TO
herself, can fail to take Paine's celery COM
pound under similar circumstances.
The Winslow mail., 1897-01-23

The essential difference between Paines
celery compound and the bewildering num-
ber of sarsaparillas and nervineS that its
success has brought into existence is that
Paine's celery compound furnishes just
the appropriate nutriment to the exhausted
nerves, and securely builds up the system
against disease, while the unscientilic rem
edies confuse and add to the arrangement
of the organs.
Paine's celery compound not only re-
lieves, but effectively and permanently
cures.
The most permanent and direct cure for
debility, nervous weakness, languor, and a
ssrun-down" condition, is the strong, relia-
BILE Paine's celery compound. The rasping,
irritating effect of badly nourished nerv-
Gus system upon all the organs of the body
ceases when this medicine IS used.
Paine's celery compound is the most ad-
vanced nerve and brain strengthener and
restorer known to medical science.

advancing towards health, Is falling back.

The smallest coal mine in the world
is in the southern province of New Zea-
land, where, according to the reports of
the inspectors of mines for the colony.
the Murray Creek colliery is worked by
one man, L. Bolitho, Chinaman, who
owns, manages and works this small
but to him valuable coal mine. There

Clerical Ounces.

1t is to be feared that clergymen who
have entered the church through theolo-
gical colleges are wretched scholars as a
rule. The bishops have lately found it
necessary to insist on an entrance exam
ination ON general subjects before ad-
mission to theological college can be
granted, and the results have been de-
cidedly startling. The requirements are
almost ridiculously elementary-a cou-
pie of books of Xenophon's ''Anaba-
SIS" some quite easy Latin, two books
Of Euclid and so forth. Nevertheless, il
is stated that large number of candi-
dates for orders are so grossly Ignorant
that they have been unable to get
through this exceedingly easy ordeal. =

1t was easy to see that he regarded
me as of an altogether inferior race of
beings as compared to Amy. With me
he could talk on occasion, but to her he
could scarcely more than speak when he
was spoken to. This dumb shyness, to-
gether with his professional position,
puzzled Amy.
''Do you suppose, " said she, ''that he
is anything of clown, that honest lit

In truth, there seemed nothing clown
like about Teddy Catty except the
clownishness of which I have spoken,
the touch of oddity that made his iden-
tity seem little humorous. But then

MINING.
AIu!ierati~. of Rubber.

In spite OF the constant talk of a sub
stitute having been found for it, rubber
seems likely to be for some time to
come the stand by of the electrician for
insulating purposes. The manufacturers
who prepare the rubber for the electrical
and other markets complain of the in
crcasing adulteTation of the raw ma
terial, especially Of that coming from
Assam and Burma According to H.
n. Thompson, the Chinese have q prac-
teal monopoly of the trade. The forests
at the head of the upper Namkong basin
are rich III rubber, and the trees attain
a height Of 200 feet, with enormous
girth. The great tribe Of rubber collect
ors is the Saua Kachius, who go vast
distances for their rubber harvest IN the
dry season The chiefs levy toll on the
produce as 1t passes down the river.
The Chinese, who control the trade, pay
the Kachins for it in provisions and
cloth, and as they are adopts in the art
of concealing stones in it, by the time
1t reaches Rangun its weight and bulk
are largely augmented by foreign sub.
stances.
The Assam supply IS fed mainly by
the NaGas who, having got in their
crops in December, set off for the rub
Der forests within the drainage area Of
the Tareu river, where they know every
tree, the knowledge being in many
cases passed on from father to son. The
rubber in this district is said to be
growing so scarce that it often takes "a
man 40 days to collect q cody load. In
spite of this, the Singpho villages levy
tax on each collector When first col
lected, the rubber is very pure, but the
Nagas have acquired the trick of adul-
Lerating it with earth and stones and
the Assam rubber is not regarded with
favor in the Calcutta market. 1t is a
sore point with the Chinese merchants
that the Nagas so exhaust the capacity
of the rubber TO receive adulteration
that there is no opening left for the ex-
ercise of their own ingenuity in the
same direction. st. Louis Globe Dem

DOGS SUFFER HUMAN ILLS.
A New Theory That Interests the Medical
Men of Paris.


DR.. Meguin, in a recent lecture de-
livered before the Paris Academic de
Medicine, stated his opinion that dogs,
from their close association with hu-
man beings, are subject to many of
their nervous ailments.
The brain of a dog is much more
highly developed than that of any other
animal. In many respects it resembles
the human brain. With its master the
dog experiences the vicissitudes of life.
Ceaseless experiments toward race per-
lection, leading to many kinds of blood
mixtures, are responsible, too, for inten-
styling the natural nervousness.
The doctor thinks that 70 per cent Of
the animals killed who, on account of
queer actions, are suspected of hydro
phobia der 'nnocently. Like nervous
men and Women, they sometimes be-
come excited, are epileptic, morose, lazy,
lose appetite, and sometimes even turn
against their best friends. If treated ra-
tionally, they might soon recover their
usual health and equanimity. -Chica.
