these great men, that they should have
SO misunderstood each other; yet it was
not unnatural. They were both honest,
fearless, patriotic and brave. Yet never
were two honest, fearless, patriotic and
brave men so unlike each other. The
training, the mental characteristics, the
field of service, the capacities, the yir-
tues, the foibles of each tended to- make
him underestimate the other. The man
of war and the man of peace; the man
whose duty it was to win battles and
conduct campaigns, and the man who
trusted to the prevalence Of ideas in a
remote future; the man who welded eX-
ecutive power. and the man who III Il

sought to extend the privileges, power
and authority of the Senate; the man
who adhered tenaciously to his friends
through good and evil report, and the
man whose friendships We're such that
evil report of personal dishOnOr never
dared assail them; the man of little taste
Tor letters, and the man OF vast and
varied learning; the man of blunt, plain
ways, and the man of courtly manners;
the man of few words and the man who
ever deemed himself sitting in an elevat-
ed pulpit with a mighty sounding board,
with a whole widespread people for a
congregation-how could they understand
each other? Grant cared little for
speech making. 1t sometimes seemed as
if Sumner thought the rebellion itself
was put down by speeches in the Senate,
and that the war was an unfortunate
and most annoying, though trifing dis
turbance, as if fire engine had passed

DANGEROUS TRADES.
File Cutting and Glass Polishing

File cutting and glass polishing are the
two trades in which the operatives are

Ihe danger in their case is even more
alarming than i'll those which have been
previously dealt with, as the power
which daily menaces them is that most
pernicious and treacherous evil, lead poi

the hazardous nature of the file-cutter's

that the RISKS lnseparable from his oc-

evil conditions under which the trade is
conducted. Cleanliness, ventilation, san

is to obtain these conditions. The root
