A Story About Gen. Grant.

An incident is related to me by an ola
friend of Mr.. Lincoln, who was witness
TO the occurrence. Ono morning after
President Lincoln's assassination Gen.
Grant was carelessly riding down Penn
sylyania avenue, when he saw "a group
Of gentlemen, all Of whom he knew. He
stopped his horse, and found these gen.
tlemen excitedly discussing something
that they heard Andrew Johnson was
, just about to do at the White House. 4
spokesman told Gen. Grant that Andrew
johnson had determined to revoke the
parole of certain confederate officers.
Grant listened quietly, slowly smoking
his cigar. When his informant finished
Grant remounted his horse, rode rapidly
toward the White House, and went
straight in to interview Andrew John
son. He asked:
"Mr. President, | understand you are
determined to revoke the parole of cer-
tain of the confederate leaders who sur
rendered to me at Appomattox.
81 ann considering the matter" re-
pied the president.
by whose authority" asked Gen.
Grant, "do you revoke parole signed
by me?"
by the authority of the United
States" replied Andrew Johnson, with
some asperity.
Grant quietly replied: "By the au-
thority of the commander-in-chiei ui
the armies of the United States that pa
ro @ Shal! not be revoked" and turned
on IS heel and quietly left the White
House.
Johnson knew Grant. He knew the
army of the United States was at his
back. Nothing more was heard OF tbs
matter. - Washington CAPITAL

Nat Goodwin's Dog Story.

One step from the sublime to the
ridiculous. This is an old truism. II
might be said also that comedy and
tragedy NE very near TO each other
At least, so argued that prince of good
fellows, Nat Goodwin.
Seated in Demonico's cafe one day
recently, Goodwin was entertaining a
number of friends with personal remi-
niscences of European trip. In de-
lightfully ingenious manner he made
himself the butt in each story, and con-
vulsed his auditors with laughter.
Finally he said: Il was walking
down street the other day-that is, I
was or another fellow was, it doesn't
make any difference--you don't want to
spoil a story on technicalities. Any
how, / or the other fellow was walking
down street. and chanced to pass an
express office.
"The expressman was loading his
wagon preparatory for his afternoon
round. OF sudden the forwarding
agent or whatever you call him came
out with small dog
"Where's he going? asked the driver.

drew a long face. Il say it's pathetic, Z"
he remarked. think of the position
OF that dog. In a thoughtless moment
he destroyed his own identity. It's q

Nearly 1000, 900 Dead Letters.

pieces. Included in this large number
were 25,S24 letters which were absolutely
without an address, and Of these II, 443

these cases the result was due to absent
mindedness, but, making this allowance
is IL not about time to revive the old pro-
fession of the peripatetic writing master

When Miss Elliott saw this reply
she declined the offer with equal
promptness, and Immediately left for

Over and over again countrymen

He tanned the snakes for New York
