GRANT AND CONFEDERATE.

The Commanders Consideration For Q
 Wounded Officer of the Enemy.
 The following anecdote is related by General Horace Porter i'll his Gam paigning With Grant, in The Century: While riding about the field General Grant stopped at house and expressed desire to prepare some dispatches. A number of wounded were lying upon the porch and in the rooms. They had made their way there in accordance with the usual custom of wounded men to seek house. It seems to be natural instinct, as house conveys the idea of shelter and of home. walked with the general into a back room to see whether there was dry spot which he might take possession of for a short time to write messages and look over the maps.
 As we entered there was seen sitting in the only chair Confederate ieuten- ant of infantry who had been shot in the left cheek, the ball passing through his mouth and coming out near the right ear. A mass of coagulated blood covered his face and neck, and he pre- sented shocking appearance He arose the moment we entered, pushed his chair forward toward the general and said, with bow and smile, Here, take my chair, sir. ' General Grant looked at him and replied: "Ah, you need that chair much more than l. Keep your seat. I see you are badly hurt " The officer answered good na- turedly: eff you folks let me go back to our lines, think l ought to be able to get leave to go home and see my girl But 1 reckon she wouldn't know me now" The general said, ''I will see that one of our surgeons does all in his power for you," and then stepped out of the room. He told one of the surgeons who was dressing the wounds of our men to do what he could for the Con- federate. We did not hear what became of him afterward. He probably never knew that he had been talking to the general in chief of the Yankee armies The dispatches were afterward written in another room.

CARPET PRINTING.
When the First Experiments Were Made
 by John Bright,

When the First Experiments Were Made
 by John Bright,
 The printing of tapestry and velvet carpets after being woven in the white, dates back 50 or more years ago. Old carpet men will at once recall the fabric made by John Bright at Rochdale, Eng land, and how he flooded our country with his products. Their introduction, however, was difficult, as they came in conflict with the productions of John Crossley 6 Sons, then the greatest pro- ducers of the original tapestry and vel vets in the world. The difference, of course, between the two productions was that the Crossleys had the designs printed, as now, in co1ors on the warp before weaving, while that made by John Bright (tapestry) had it's figures and colOrs stamped upon the fabric by hand after it was woven. The latter process, however, presented a drugget effect and lacked the style and accurate registration of the Crossley carpets. They had one thing to commend them they were very durable. Bright's goods were first printed with blocks, and, be- ing durable and cheap, their sale was large in many countries.
 Cylinders or rollers were afterward used by Bright, the cue being taken from calico and kindred printing, Lut they varied much in their construction. One of these, used by an English manu- facturer, was a very elaborate and ex- pensive affair. The engraving of the de- sign upon the cylinder was very deep, and the colors placed in their proper places to correspond precisely with the fabric itself, painted design, contain ing every color to be employed, being used as a guide. In fact, the exact col bring of the carpet was placed upon the cylinder and from it transferred to the plain fabric.-Amcrican Carpet and Upholstery Journal

She Had rwn.

A young contralto at Handel con- cert which Sir Joseph Barnby was con ducting at the end of solo put in a high note instead of the less effective note usually sung. This innovation shocked the conductor, and he immedi- ately asked whether Miss Singer thought she was right in trying to improve up on Handel. Well, Sir Joseph, " said she, ''I've got an E, and don't see why shouldn't show it of. '' Miss Singer" rejoined Barnby, ''I believe you have two knees, but I hope you won't show them off here.
