count of what we know of his respect for the Christian religion, and his candid, though late, acknowledgement of his faith in Christ. I heard Dr Newman (now Bishop Newman) say more than I ever saw in print. He was the pastor and intimate friend of the general, and pray ed and conversed with him on many oc- casions. This pastor had no doubt that Gen Grant, some time before his death, WAS A DEvOUT AND SINCERE SERVANT OF
 JESUS CHRIST.
 All honor to our illustrious hero, the pre- server of the Union. Thank God that under his leadership the national banner was restored to it's place on every hill top from the lakes to the gulf, and from ocean to ocean, and not one star was plucked from it's azure; and that through him there came to all friends of the Un- ion the full realization of the thought ex- pressed in the magic words emblazoned on 8 banner and borne through the streets in the stormy times through which so many of us passed, namely 'God Grant! Victory"

and the men shot over picket fence and across a garden patch. Flaherty had never shot gun in his life, but when it came his turn he brought his gun to his shoulder and let drive. The result was astounding. Pat turned three or four back somersaults and they picked him up he rubbed his shoulder ruefully. In fact the kick nearly dislocated it, and he was in pretty bad shape for 8 week. He couldn't tell what was the matter with the gur, but he showed how he loaded it :. and that explained lucidly enough what had been the matter. The bullets were pointed affairs with a concave base. When the gun went of the explosion ex- banded the base and fitting closely into the rifles of the barrel, it cleared the gun. Pat had put his bullet into the gun point first and had rammed it down hard. Of course when the gun went off there was terrific kick.
 "Why did you put the bullet in that way" was asked Pat.
 "Sure, thin, because it wint in much easier, he replied.
 But the bullet. After it left the gun it struck picket on the fence, splinter ing it. Then it hit the earth in the mid dle of the garden patch and richochet- ting struck the target exactly in the middle, and the great splotch of lead tore the bull's-eye clean out of the tar get, the best shot that had been made. Pat got his 12 hours leave, but his shoulder did not permit him to enjoy it much.
 Poor Flaherty's taking away was quite in keepieg with his army career. He served through the war and came out alive with quite little money saved up- | While in the army he did not drink st | all, but he came back to Massachusetts and married 8 girl who drove him to rum as solace for his woes. One night he was coming home pretty well filled up, and he lurched and fell, lying protrate on the ground. As he fell he had thrown his arm out in front of him and his face rested on his arm. His open mouth was filled with his coat sleeve, and Flaherty, 1 who before he reached the ground, was ! in a drunken stupor, did not know enough to move it away so as to get air and he smothered himself with his own arm.-[Springfield Republican.

Gen Howard on Grant.
A PART OF AN ADDRESS GIVEN AT THE
 BANQUET IN BOSTON.

''It was a pleasure to be under Gen Thomas. His smile of welcome was pleasant and cordial. When 1 went from him into battle, his words of confidence drew toward him my whole heart. If l succeeded, he commended me without stint. If my attack failed, he quickly saw the cause and never. as did some others, put the blame upon me to shield himself.
 Lee had numerous friends, Stonewall Jackson had his large following-those who loved and cherished his memory but Virginia did not furnish through the entire war better general or greater man than George H. Thomas. Sherman, too, had his own peculiar photograph. The Mississippi campaigns, including Corinth and Vicksburg, which gave Grant his groundwork of national fame, ever needed and had the friendship like that of Jonathan to David, of Sherman to Grant. Sherman bore any part, how ever obscure, and gave the most unself- ish and untiring support to his noble chief. No wonder Grant loved him.
 ca Wednesday, March %, 'S5, being with friend in Brooklyn, received & note from Col F. D. Grant, saying that if in New York city his father would be glad to see me at any time when he could see any one.

Pat Flaherty's War Career.
STORY OF AN ECCENTRIC PRI
 VATE.
HOW FLAHERTY HELD UP THE OFFICERS OF THE GUARD, ACHIEVED HONORs AS A MARKsMAN AND FINALLY CAME TO A SAD END.

SAD END.
 City Messenger George L. Warriner, of Springfield, Mass, who always has a good supply of war stories on tap, broached particularly good brand the other evening for the edification of several members of the city council who required relaxation after hard evening" s work. George labeled this particular story as ''true'' and the city fathers are now wondering what bit of his fiction would be. In MT Warriner's regiment, which was recruited at Worcester and went to the front from there, was a private who might have been named Patrick Flaherty, but wasn't and who might have been French, but was Irish. And he was an Irishman not only in name and hair, but in that national characteristic of witty retort and pe- culiar denseness in some directions. While the company was in the bar racks at Worcester it was the fashion for the men to run the guard and get out of the lines through hole in the high board fence, made by removing the nail at the bottom of wide board and swing ing it to one side. After the man got through they would let the board swing back and there was no sign of exit. The officers finally discovered this method of procedure and determined to put stop i to it. They selected as sentry at the al spf oh In haI { pressed them as man who would do his duty at whatever cost, even though i 1t meant sticking bayonet into some one's vitals or boring hole through him with an ounce of lead. They also elaborated system of countersigns which they proposed to have strictly enforced.
 It chanced that one night several of men prepared to run the guard The password that night was ''Ticondero- ga." It was guarded very carefully, but by some means the men got hold of it and planned to make use of it in get ting outside the lines. So party of four or five started toward the point in the lines where Flaherty was on picket. For safety's sake one of the party started ahead to experiment on Flaherty with the pass word while the rest stayed behind to watch the outcome. If the ad- vance guard got through all right the rest had pretty good assurance of going through also. The soldier approaches Flaherty in the dark and the latter brought his musket to charge bayonets and shouted =:
 tsWho be yez?"
 "A friend.s'
 .sShure and yez can't get out O this widout de countersign."
 The soldier approached the picket and whispered in his ear the word, sTicon- deroga.'
 ssPhwat did yez sayrn
 ssTiconderoga,' repeated the guard runner in louder whisper.
 ssThat ain't the worrud," said Pat. and as the soldier mace 8 motion to withdraw, he added, approaching the point of the bayonet little closer to his body. .Don't yex move wan step or

 and attributed his success almost en. tirely to favoring conditions. That his great eminence is largely due to the re. bellion, Is uDquestionably true; yet it is evident that it is not in the power of op- portunities to reveal or develop traits of manhood unless they exist. The least that can be said of Grant is that he was possessed by nature and training of those elements of which heroes are made, Some of the traits for which General Grant is especially honored stand viv- idly before me at this hour.
