Virginia Lady Described the Event
to General Grant.


General Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning with Grant" in the February
Century, relates the following anecdote
Of an occurrence after the wilderness
campaign: While our people were put
ting up the tents and making prepare
lions for supper General Grant strolled
over to a house near by owned by Mr..
Chandler, and sat down on the porch. i
accompanied him, and took a seat beside
him. In a few minutes lady came to
the door, and was surprised to find that
the visitor was the general-ln-chief. He
was always particularly civil to ladies,
and he rose to his feet at once, took off
his hat and made q courteous bow. She
was ladyIike and polite in her behavior,
and she and the general soon became
engaged in a pleasant talk. Her CONVEX
sation was exceedingly entertaining. She
said, among other things: This house
has witnessed some sad scenes. One Of
our greatest generals died here just a
year ago-General ackson-Stonewall
Jackson of blessed memory" 'Indeed!'
| remarked General Grant. "He and l were
at West Point together for year and we
| served in the same army in Mexico.
Then you must have known how good
| and great he was said the lady. "Oh,
| yes" replied the general; che was ster-
| ling, manly cadet, and enjoyed the re-
| spect of every one who knew him. He
| was always of a religious turn of mind
and a plodding, hard working student
! His standing was at first very low in his
| class, but by his indominable energy he
managed to graduate quite high. He was
a gallant soldier and a Christian gentle
man, and 1 can understand fully the ad
miration your people have for him"
"They brought him here the Monda!
after the battle of Charlottesville" sh
continued. ''You probably know, sir
that he had been wounded in the left arm
and right hand by his own men, VIII
fired upon him accidentally in the night
and his arm had been amputated on tn

THE ORIGIN OF THE MINIATURE.
The Flower of French FGnighthOOd
JingIed Away Southwark.

II Greek legend whispers that the portrait art
was discovered by affection when the potter
daughter traced the shadow of her lovers pro-
hle on the wall, prosaic research proves that
the miniature portrait also owes its origin to
tenderness, says a writer In Scribners for
February.
When the flower of French knighthood jing-
led away southwark to the Italian wars with
Charles VIII, some disconsolate lady, left be-
hind with no defense against regrets and heart
ache but a needle a novel, had an inspira-
ton. Why not replace the image Of Madonna
or patron saint, which pious usage had hung
around all Christian threats, by a tiny por-
trait Of him who loved and rode away? A de-
vice so simple and so practical attained inn
mediate popularity. There was no lack OF
skilled miniaturists and there was a touch OF
romance in the idea OF having the image OF
the beloved always present, which appealed to
a court where gallantry had inherited the
language and ideals of chivalry.

A SONG OF COURAGE.

DAIN hurts, and life is cruel;
Suns set, and night is dark;
Come thieves. and flies the jewel;
And Winter stills the lark
The poor head fears the scorning;
The poor heart files the pain;
The poor soul thinks the morning
Will never rise again.
Rut never a deed was plotted,
And never a tale was told,
There was never a plan in the mlnd
a man
Could break the heart Of the bold
For pride is born Of Kisses,
And strength leaps up from pain;
And 50, with old Ulysses,
Wen take the sea again.

The Greek stand will be made at

The battle of Matt lnsted all Friday,
the Greeks defending their positions
with great intrcpidity. Prince Coustan-
