Grants Big Heart.

General Grenville Dodge, who was
with Grant all through the war, and
who both before and after that period
was civil engineer for the Northern Pa
cific railroad, told little story illus
trating the spontaneous kindness and
thoughtfulness of Grant when a young
man. Many years before the war he was
sent to Oregon as lieutenant, and while
at Vancouver started out one evening
IN company with Rufus Ingalls, to ride
to Williamhamite for the purpose of
calling upon some young ladies visiting
there.
When they had covered about half tn
distance, they came upon poor emf
grant, whose heavily loaded wagon had
become hopelessly stuck in the mud
The young men, Of course, stopped.
After looking over the situation, Lieu
tenant Grant said to Mr.. Ingalls,:
''What can we do to help this poor
fellow out?''
His companion did not seem to think
that anything could be done. But after
a moments consideration Grant silent
ly dismounted, offered his horse TO the
stranger III distress and gave him few
concise directions as to how to extricate
himself. Then telling the grateful emf.
grant where to deliver the horse over to
him at Williamhamite, he continued
his Journey-still distance of seven or
eight mIles-on foot. Atlanta Consti-

One of the Family.

1t may interest some of our readers
to glance through this short character
istic sketch of James Seymour, born in
London in 1902, which is more strongly
impressive than many longer memoirs.
The fact that he displayed fondness
for drawing and painting in boyhood
and subsequently gained celebrity by
his skill in designing horses is too well
known to comment upon. Once the
proud Duke of Somerset employed Sey-
mour TO paint room at his seat in
Sussex. with the portraits of his running
horses. Having admitted the artist to
his table, he one day drank to him, say
ing
Cousin Seymour, your health. "
The painter replied, "My lord, I real
ly believe that l have the honor of being
of your grace's family"
This hurt the pride of the duke so
much that he rose from the table and
ordered his steward to pay Seymour and
dismiss him. Finding, however, that
no one in England could complete the
pictures begun, he condescended to send
for his cousin. The painter responded t0
the message in these words:
MY lord, 1 will now prove that
am OF your grace's family, for I won't
come. "-Harper's Round Table

Lamp Snakes.

There is in Natal-or at leas. so the
natives say-a kind of snake which, if
its domestication were possible, might
make less important the question Of
municipal gas works For this serpent,
according 10 the stories told about il, is
provided with an Illuminating apparatus
beside which that Of other light bearing
creatures, including men with lanterns,
is hardly worth consideration. The rep
tile is supposed 10 frequent swamps or
lakes, and il is of size so vast that ON
an occasion when one Of the species was
attacked and killed by Boer hunting
party It's carcass hlled TWO wagons. IN
fact, the animals proportions are al
most unlimited. The light emitted by
this monster Is said 10 be bright and
dazzling in the extreme and easily dis
ceTned from a distance Of several miles.
Some Of the negroes call the snake
"umningi, while by Others it is known
as the ''ivimbela, name also applied
TO a serpent whose dwelling is in the
sea, and whose powers, though great
and marvellous, are not displayed in
lakes and rivers or fraught with magic
light NO European traveller has ever
seen one of these snakes, but the Zulus
declare that they are not uncommon in
the pools of the Umvoti river, and that
they are white in color, except for
few brown patches. 1t is thought by
some that these tales may have foun-
dation in fact, as there are great brim-
stone caves in parts Of Natal, and in
them there may be phosphorescent
fauna not yet studied or even seen by |
civilized men. Another peculiar inhab-
liant of the same region-still ON native
the intokoloch. 1t is a
species of dwarf or manikin, akin in its |
attributes TO the yahoo of Dean Swift,
is amphibious like the lamp snake and
bears character not unblemished. -
