Gen. Grants SecretiSeness.

Gen. Horace Porter's Campaigning
with Grant" takes UP the Dash for
Petersburg" in the Century" Gen.
Porter says concerning Gen. Grants
secretiveness:
After the general had got some miles
out on the march from Cold HarbOr, an
officer of rank joined him, and us they
rode along, began to explain plan
which he had sketched providing for the
construction of another line of intrench-
nents some distance III rear of the
lines then held by us, TO be used in
case the army should at any time want
10 fall back and move toward the
James, ana should be attacked while
withdrawing The general kept on
smoking his cigar, listened TO the pro-
position for time, and then quietly
remarked to the astonished officer:
The army has already pulled out from
the enemy's front, and is now on its
march to the James"
This is mentioned as an instance OF
how well his secrets could be kept. He
the positions Of responsibility in which
he was placed compelled him to be
obary in giving expression TO his Opin-
ions and purposes. He then learned
the force of the philosophers maxim
that "thc unspoken word is n sword in
sword in the hand OF ones enemy"
III the field there were constant visitors
TO the camp, ready TO circulate care
lessly any limitations Of the command
ers movements, at the risk Of having
such valuable information reach the
enemy. Any encouraging expression
given to An applicant for favOrs was
apt to be tortured into a promise, and
the general naturally became guarded
In his intercourse. When questioned be-
yond the bounds Of prOpriety his lips
closed like wise, and the Obtruding
party was left To supply all the sub
sequent conversation.
These circumstances proclaimed him
4 man who studied to be uncommuni-
cativc, and gave him a reputation for
tributed TO him. He was called the
American Sphinx" Ulysses the ST.
lent" and the Great Unspeakablc,"
and was popularity supposed to move
about with scaled lips. II is true that
he had no small talk" introduced
merely for the sake of talking, and
many one will recollect the embar-
rassIrent of a first encounter with him
resulting from this fact: but while,
like Shakspeare's soldier. he never
wore his dagger In his mouth, yet in
talking to Il small circle Of friends up
on matters which he had given special
consideration. his conversation was so
thoughtful. philosophical, and original
that he fascinated all who listened 10
him.

will prove most effective. In the be-
ginning England will have but few
birds, but more will be added as time
and money will permit. Germany has
the most complete carrier pigeon sery-
ice c. any country in the world. There
Is hardly 4 town of any importance in
the German empire that has net pig
con loft, and the German emperor an
nuaily distributes numerous prizes for
long and rapid flights The annual ap-
preparation for the pigeons In the army
budget is about $4,000.
France has more birds than Germany
and spends $4,000 year in maintains
ing them, but they are not so well
distributed. There are scores of priv
ate lofts in Germany that will be at the
service OF the government in time or
need. France learned the value OF
pigeons during the siege of Paris, when
they were used TO convey messages to
the seat Of government at Tours. Near
iifiy messages were successfully dis
patched during the siege, and since
then tho value of the pigeons has not
De2n questioned. Il seems that carrier
pigeons are not able to make the speed
that is popularity supposed. German
experts say that the average pigeon can
lily thirty-fiye miles an hour and not
more

Two of Grants Anecdotes.

In the Century Gen. Horace Porter
gives the following anecdotes that were
related by Grant at the headquarters
mess:
i was with Gen. Tayior's command
in Mexico when he not only failed to
receive re-enforcements but found that
/ nearly al his regulars were to be sent
| away from him to join Gen. Scott. Tay-
| Tor was apt TO be little absentminded
when absorbed i'll any perpleXing prob
lem, ana the morning he received the
discouraging news he sat down to
breakfast in brown study. poured out
cup Of coffee, and, instead of putting
III the sugar, he reached out and got
hold of the mustard pot and stirred
half dozen spoonfuls OF it's contents
into the coffee. He didn't realize what
he had done till he took mouthfui,
and then he broke out in Il towering
rage.
I'VE learned something at Shiloh
about the way in which the reports of
losses are sometimes exaggerated in
battle. At the close OF the first days
hight Sherman met a colonel of one of
his regiments With only about 100 of
his soldiers in ranks and said TO him:
Why, where are your mem The col
onel cast his eyes sadly along the line,
wiped a tear from his cheek and re-
piled in 4 whimpering voice: We went
in 500 strong and that's all that's left
OF US You don't tell me" exclaimed
Sherman, beginning to be deeply af-
fccted by the fearful result of the car
mage! Yes, said the colonel, the
rebs appeared to have a special spite
against u.s. Sherman passed along
some hours afterward, when the COM
missary was issuing rations, and found
that tie colonels men were returning
on the run from under the bank of the
river, where they had taken shelter
from the firing, and in n few minutes
nearly all OF The lost 700 had returned
and were boiling coffee and eating
hearty meal. with an appetite that
showed they were still very much
alive"

Eaijoou Soldiers.

Man is not the only animal VINO car
RES on his warfare by means OF organ
lied bands and calls in the forces OF
nature to assist him. The German nat
uralist and traveller Brehm witnessed
in Central Africa fights that were con-
Quoted in as orderly manner as il
the warriors had been really men in
stead Of only somewhat like them in
form, says the Youths Companion.
The actors in the play were balloons
and their enemies were in one ease the
travellers dogs, though the balloons
were ready to fight with any creature
that attacked them, man only excepted,
and he owed his exemption solely to
the fact that the balloons could not
often gain a point OF vantage.
The naturalist himself was once
stoned out of pass in very few min
upon lodges and stones, looked down
for Il few moments on the valley, grOwl-
ing, snarllng, and screaming, and then
began to roll down stones with so
much vigor and adoitness that the in
truders took To flight. The balloons
evidently knew the value OF co-opera-
ton, for the naturalists saw two OF
them combine their efforts in order to
set . particularly heavy stone rolling.
One monkey, bent on making the most
of his missile was seen TO carry a stone
up a tree that he might huri il with
greater effect.
On the occasion when the dogs at
tackled the balloons the balloons were
crossinga valley, and, rs usual during
n march, the females and young were
in tho center. the males heading the
column and bringing up the rear. As
the dogs rushed upon them only the
females took to flight.
The males turned and faced the en-

mouths wide so as to show their glitter

them in check by threatening gestures
and sounds, picked up the baby monk

That are 10 Be Held.

Inc proposed bond issue has foymed q
theme for talk. There are few, IL any,
who oppose the issue; but many favor q
new departure in disposing Of the bonds.
Former Issues Of bonds have been sold to

bonds be sold to the people.
The bonds ars to bear 4 per cent. inter-

II is said there are hundreds OF people
In this town who would feel pstriotic
pride in having money invested In home

The only argument advanced gainst
the proposition is that the work of pay
ing the interest quarterly to 80 many
bond holders wouldbe large. This ohjec-
tion is met by saying that with COUPON
