One of Linooln's Dispatches.

In his Campaigning With Grant, .
in The Century, General Horace Porter
tells of General Halleck's fear of trou-
BILE from the enforcing of the draft and
his desire that Grant should send troops
to the northern cities. General Porter
says: On the evening of Aug. II General
Grant was sitting in front of his Guar
tiers with several staff officers about
him when the telegraph operator came
over from his tent and handed him a
dispatch. He opened it, and as he pro-
ceeded with the reading his face became
suffused with smiles. After he had fin
ished it he broke into hearty laugh.
We were curious to know what could
produce so much merriment in the gem
eral in the midst Of the trying circum-
stances which surrounded him. He cast
his eyes over the dispatch again and
then remarked: 1.-THE president has
more nerve than any of his advisers
This is what be says after reading my
reply to Halleck's dispatch. He then
read aloud to as the following:
III have seen your dispatch expressing your
unwillingness to break your hold where you
are. Neither am willing. Hold ON with q
bulldog grip and chew and choke as much as
possible. "A. LINCOLN"

TRACKING A CHILD.
Showing That Bloodhound Is Not Al

Showing That q Bloodhound Is Not Al
ways q Fierce Beast.
So many terrible stories of the feroc-
:.r Of bl<,odhounds have been told that
it is refreshing to read true story of
chase By a bloodhound in which the
hunter and the hunted were equally
satisfied. 1t is vouched for by writer
in Good Words, who had it from an
eyewitness
The bloodhound was enjoying stroll
with his master on the sands of Weston
super Mare, quietly following the horse
his owner rode. Neither was thinking
of chase. In fact nothing seemed fur
ther from the character of the dog than
a desire to interfere with any human
being. The group of pleasure seekers
scattered over the sands saw nothing
unusual in him, nor did the poor dis
tracted woman who ran from one group
to another frantically asking for tidings
of a lost child. Nobody knew anything
of the missing boy, and when in her
desperation she approached the gentle
man on the horse he also shook his head.
But though he knew nothing of her
boy, he was not SO sure that he could
not help her find him. He alighted from
his horse, and thrusting his arm through
the bride bent over the hound, putting
both hands carelessly round his head.
Then he took from the woman some
thing that looked like child's hat and
held it toward the dog, talking to him
the while. The hound shifted and whined
mournfully, as if unwilling to leave his
master. Soon, however, he lifted his
head in the air, uttered short, sharp
bark or bay and began shifting about the
sands.
For minute or two he followed the
scent in zigzag fashion, and then,
with long, loud bay, turned off at an
amazing pace, ran in straight line
across the sands, crossed the parade,
and, bayipg as he went, turned down a
side street. Il
That was an exciting chase-the field
the streets of populous watering place
and the game lost child. The loud
voice of the dog could be heard in the
distance, ending those who followed.
The mothers feet were swift, but she
could not keep up with the dog. On he
went till he had run hisprey to ground.
Then he stopped and fawned upon the
little lad, who was overjoyed to find SO
friendly playmate. When the mother
came up, hunter and hunted were the
best of friends, SO. much so that neither
was willing to part with the other.
The gentleman had more than once to
summon his dog before he would con-
sent to leaye the child. AS for the boy,
he could not be led away while the dog
remained, and after the hound had dis
appeared he was still heard to murmur,
81 would like that dear doggie for my

The Sandy Shore of Lake Eric Is Admira-
bly, Fitted For Wheeling.
Most of us at one time CT another have
basked fer awhile upon some sandy
beach of ocean or lake. We have bathed
in the surf, gathered shells upon the
shore, and thus whiled away many idle
hours, but it was reserved for the BIZ
cycle to make us really acquainted with
those stretches of beach and shore which
seem to have been purposely prepared
by kind Mother Nature as glorious

inally intended it for wheels, she GER
tainly SPENDS a great deal OF her time
in keeping the path in repair, and those
active servants of hers, wind and wave.
rain and sun, are kept very busy at
work upon it all the time
This long and varied path stretches
in its entirety hundreds of miles along
cur ocean shores and around the borders
of our great lakes, but the particular
bit with which we became familiar dur
ing happy summer weeks, and to share
in whose delights would tempt Others
is comparatively small portion on the
southern shore of Lake Erie. 1t begins
with the extreme end of Cedar point,
which with its long arm holds in a por-
tion of Sandusky bay, and extends east
ward 10 miles or more up the shore
This sandy shore continues all the way
to Cleveland and beyond, but because
Of some intervening piles of rock one
cannot ride the whole so or 60 miles.
The shorter distance is, however, enough
for summer days ride, especially if
one takes it comfortably and leisurely
and appropriates to himself the count

authorized Richards to explain his in.
human treatment Of F. NJ. Jordan and
family by stating that Jordan, prior
to the commencement Of Espy's term
OF office was a regular" that is, he
was living of Of the county and that
he (Espy) put stop to this and put
Jordan to work. A more damnable
false statement was never made by
man. There is record kept in the
county clerks Office Of all billsallowed
