LITERARY LEAVES.

Hamlin Garland's g latest story in the
Cosmopolitan for May is of more than
usual interest locally because the
scene of the plot is laid in DesMoines.
Mr.. Garland is an Iowa man, and like
all Iowans, loyal. In pleasing phrase
ology the story is told of a young man,
bred on farm, whose annual treat
has been visit of a day to the capi-
tai city in company with his parents.

There is a sparkle about the May
number of Success which literary
co1a11oiSScurS will thoroughly appreci-
ate, and which will serve to empha-
size more than ever the serious pur-
pose of the magazine, the giving of
inspiration and help along success
lines. The editors have cast their nets
into prolific waters, drawing forth
such shining "catches" asfSenator
Foraker and Congressman Littlefield,
who vigorously take issue over the
proposition that young men should
be trained for public life,

A decidedly favorable and we'll
reasoned view of the Hay -Pauncefote
Treaty is taken by President Henry
Wade Rogers, of Northwestern uni
versity, in his article in the May For
um on that much agitated subject.
After examining the Clayton Bulwer
Treaty and it's amended form, the
Dallas--Clarendon agreement, he
comes to the conclusion that the
treaty negotiated by Mr.. Hay with
Lord Pauncefote obtains all the mod
itications of the previous agreements
required by the interests of the United
States. The argument is both ex-
haustive and temperate.

the road and the results it will ac-
complish.

GRANT AS A STAKEHOLDER.
Those Owned at the Beginning Of
the War Came as a Dowry.


1t is no doubt true that the only
slaves Gen. Grant ever owned were
such as he received as part of his
wite's dowry when he married her.
Her father, Gen. Dent, was a native
of Maryland and wealthy merchant
Of st. Louis, and afterward a gentle
man farmer near that city. OF course,
he owned slaves, and no doubt when
Capt. Grant married his daughter In
1S4S he gave them a few house SER
wants. and afterward probably some
field servants. 1t is not at all likely
that Gen. Grant ever bought or sold
a slave.
If he owned any slaves when the
war broke out, as Mrs. Grant is report
ed saying, they must have been hired
out in st. Louis, as they could not have
been with him at Galena, ILL.,, where
he went in April, 1860, to become a
clerk in his fathers hardware and
leather store The father was at that
time in COyingtOn, Ky. In a letter TO
Gen. James G.. Wilson, written from
Frankfort, March 90, 1868, he said:
After Ulysses's farming and real es-
tate experiments in st. Louis county,
Mo, failed to be self-supporting he
came TO me at this place (COvington)
for advice and assistance. l referred
him to Simpson my next Oldest son,
who had charge of my Galena business
and who was staying with me on ac-
count of ill-health. Simpson sent him
to the Galena store, to stay until some
thing else might turn up in his favor,
and told him he must confine his
wants within $500 a year and that II
that would not support him he must
draw what II lacked from the rent of
his house and the hire of his negroes
in st. Louis" From this 1t appears he
did own slaves at that time.

There are some people-not
many, we hope-who seem to
think that rudeness is courage,
and bad manners a sign Of supe-
rior piety. They do not hesitate
to assail the motives of any one
that may chance to differ with
them, nor to use opprobrious cpl
thets in expressing their views.
We can understand how an un-
restrained sinner might feel free
to deport himself IN this way, but
we are quite unable to enter into
the mind of a professed Christian
who does so. He is certainly a
stranger to themeekness and gen.
tleness Of CIrit, and needs to
learn the first principles Of the
gospel. Courtesy is q Christian
virtue. Charity tlljnketh Ho evil.
Tire man who lacks these things
is not q perfect Christian; It is a
| doubtful question whether he is
Ea Christian at all. NasAvslle
