TYPICAL OF GRANT.

a story is told of General Grant
which is illustrative of his tender and
gentle nature. On the day Of a great
review he turned, with eyes dim with
tears, from the sight of his old troops,
saying: II don't believe I can stand
it.'' In the same spirit is the follow
ing souvenir from GA Child's Recol-
lections of Grant, in Current LiterG-
tufe.
The parade of the Grant Army
which was part of the Centennial
celebration was an occasion of wild
excitement to us. We were not far
from the balcony where General
Grant reviewed the troops, and
therefore saw all that could be seen
seemingly endless procession of
soldiers, cannon and brass bands.
And how the people cheered! But
it puzzled us why the cheers were
loudest and longest for the most for
lorn, stained and tattered old flags
until we understood that the flags,
too, were veterans.
BY and by the great show was over
and General Grant was going away.
He did not seem at all gay. wonder
ed why.
Didn't you enjoy it? Wasn't it nice
to see all your soldiers there again?
asked.
But they were not all there he ans
wered gravely.
| realized what it had meant to him
to review his old army, Those latter
ed flags had been carried by men who
went to death at his command. Those
dark status had been the red lifeblood
of men who died obeying him. To
others it had been a day of jubilee,
while his great heart had ached as he
thought of the price of his victories.

heard silvery ripple gay as thrilling Of q

I turned my head moment, then my head
was turned for good,
For there beside q bicycle girl in boomers
stood
My heart was lost forever to that maiden with
the wheel
A thing of grace and beauty from her head
unto her heel
Her face it was the sweetest, her costume the
completest,
And her ankles were the neatest ever seen
upon wheel.
She smiled, and, mounting lightly. sped away
at rapid pace
"You may kiss ne if you catch me, - she cried
as I gave chase
But from that day unto this day have never
seen her face,
For I was left behind bewildered, fairly dis
tanced in the race.
Last night I took scorching spin along the
boulevard
And caught up with the eharmer-almost-
within yard
She backward glanced, then darted Oh like the

A Friendly Art Criticism.

A neat little correspondence took place
between David Roberts, the artist, and a
friendly art critic with whom he had been
in the habit of hobnobbing. Roberts had
painted a number of pictures into which
he put all his genius, and upon placing
them on exhibition, much to his surprise
and modification, his friend, the critic,
severely attacked them. In due time, how
ever, note arrived:
MY DEAR RoBERTs-You have doubtless read
my remarks upon your pictures. I hope they
will make no difference in our friendship.
Yours, etc.
This had tendency to slightly increase
the painters wrath, and he couched the
following;
MY DEAR -: The next time I meet you
shall pull your nose. I hope it will make no
difference in our friendship. Yours,
D. ROBERTS.
It is not recorded whether they met aft
erward, but it is safe to say those erstwhile
friends hobnobbed no more.-Strand Mag

A few weeks ago we referred to James
Davidson of Lone Jack as q man who
would look we'll dangling at the end of
rope and wondered why the vigilance COM
mittee of that town had not taken the same
view of the matter. 1t seems that Mr.
Davidson IS a sensitive man, and instead
Of getting out of the country or commit
ting suicide he employed lawyer to sue US
for 500, 600 damages. The lawyer arrived
in Giveadam Gulch one day last week and
hunted us up and offered to settle the case
for 800, 900 cash on the nail He was talk
ing to US with two guns strapped to his
body and his right hand behind him, but
at a favorable moment we got the drop on
him and stood him up against the wall
Then we asked him to scale his figures
down, and in the course of five minutes he
had dropped from S95, 600 to $40, oOO He
stuck there minute and then dropped to
95, 600. We thgn explained the policy we
had always pursued in such matters and
he went down to So, 600, 81, 900 and finally
halted at $500. We still held our gun on
him, however, and five minutes later he
in full and seemed glad to wind up the
affair in that way. On our part we agreed
to say that perhaps Mr.. Davidson wouldn't

We reach forth the hand of sympathy

she married the major could milk a COW,
harness a horse, lick q tramp, make a

took her place at the head of society in

out for him.
Brief Explanation.
In delivering his lecture on 1.-The Origin
of the Jack Rabbit at DEVILS Elbow the
other evening Captain Freeman, late of
this town, paused in his discourse to pitch
into US personally. He declared that we
were selfish, egotistical, dangerously ambi-
tious and man whom Arizona should
get rid of at the first opportunity. We have
received many letters of inquiry in regard
to his bitter attack, and it is due to US
simply because we refused to lend him
red necktie and a white shirt when he
started out on his lecturing tour. We own
one white shirt and one red necktie. Both
are in use about three evenings per week
to assist US in leading society, and though
it panied us to do so we had to refuse the
captains request. We should have done
the same by our own brother. We draw
the line right there and shall continue
to do so, and if maligned on that account
we shall have to stand it. Some day we
may send to Chicago for another white
shirt %1d more red neekties, and then our
friends can call upon US to favor them, but
until that time arrives we shall defend our
property against all Corners We shall not
go out of our way to find Captain Freeman
and demand an apology, but should we
meet him accidentally his jack rabbit will
need a new spinal column before we are
through with him. M. QUAD.

Overcame US.
The Bank Is Safe.
The rumors circulating around town
last Thursday in regard to Taylor's bank
were entirely without foundation, and were
probably set af1oat by some malicious per-
son. The bank is not shaky. Mr.. Taylor
has no idea of taking a journey. There
has been no loss and no EN- beZzlement.
We were one of the committee of three
called in to count the cash and look over
the books, and we found things all o. K.
When Mr. Taylor opened his bank four
years ago, he was given to understand that
if the institution failed or the banker skip
ped out there would be hanging. He
began business under that policy, and is
still continuing it. He is making money,
and is satisfied And we may add that he
has che entire confidence of the business
community. He has always been free to
admit that his banking career in New
Mexico ended one night when he stuffed
S12 600 into a satchel and took a walk.
But that was to get capital to go into bust
ness on in another community, and he will
not try the trick again. Our readers should
discredit all reports intended to injure
sound financial institution and an honor
able, Woodworking man.
Making 1t RedhOt.
For the last two months numerous sub
scribers of The Kicker have been finding
fault with US because the editorials were
not redhot enough to please them. Our
editorial page this week was prepared with
special reference to meet their complaints,
and we trust the complainers will be salts
fed. The editorials take in a wide range,
and all are covered with blood. We adj
wise a war with England, a row with
Spain. a racket with Germany and the
conquest of Mexico. We threaten rebellion
if Arizona is not admitted into the Union,
advise office hunters who have got left to
blow M the White House with dynamite,
and demanded the abolition Of the whisky
tax or a civil war which shall sweep the
fragments of this republic into the sea. By
the time we got through writing we felt
so bloodthirsty that we wanted to go cut
and shoot three or four men, and at this
writing we are picking our teeth with
bowie knife and glazing with Inurderous
eye across the street at the shanty of our
esteemed contemporary. We have done our
level best to please the kickezs, and the
