GRANT AND DANA.

It was the year of Grants first cleo tion to the Presidency. Dana. remem- bering the service which he had done the General, and having besides real liking for the man, wrote a life of Grant, which he intended to be sort of campaign biography, for 1t was highly eulogistic and was written with an intimate knowledge of its subject. Political usage and personal gratitude might have suggested to the new Presi- dent the bestowal of some one whose ability was so exceptional as MT. Dana's. But for some reason, which has never been satisfactorily explained. Grant absolutely ignored the claim. It was Dana's desire to be made Collector of the Port of New York;, but the office was given to another, and by this act Grant made an emeny whose unrelent- ing hatred pursued him to the grave. With an almost frantic eagerness. Dana set about destroying copy of the life upon which he could lay his hands: so that to-day the book Is practically unattainable outside of a few libraries Then in the columns of the Sun he waged on Grant war of islander which for sheer malignity has never been sur passed. Dana knew quite we'll that Grant was honest, clean-living, patriotic and sincere, yet now, with a | perversion of facts that was internal in its ingenuity, he painted him as a corrupt and brutal scoundrel, one who used his office for his personal enrich ment, a tyrant, a vulgar ruffian, and a common drunkard. Every one connect ed with the president, even his wife and family, came In for a share of Dana's wrath or ridicule. At one time the editor was indicted for criminal li- bel gy a federal grand jury, and an at tempt was made to have him removed to Washington for trial. Over such a prospect Dana was almost beside him. self with fear. His hysterical editorials made it plain that had his case been | actually tried in Washington, he must have gone to prison; but Judge Blatch- ford, sitting in New York, refused to change the venue. Tn consequence, the case was dropped, and Dana continued to lash the president with even great CT fury than before. After Grants re
 tirement to private life the attitude ot
 the Sun remained the same. Ever
 when the hero of the great war still ir the presence of death. Dana launched "a poisoned shaft at those who loved Grant best. The Sun published an ac-
 count of an undertaker's bill which tht
 Generals family had very properly re.
 fused to pay, but which Dana himself had settled with an ostentatious show
 of hypocriticaI beneyolence that was
 absolutely diabolical. Harry Thurstor

their absence, such as cold meat. It is true that Paris meat is usually uneata- bly cold, so 1t must be done up; but how it is done up!
 Observe how the thrifty French lady has a luncheon server of a juicy ome- cite, unknown in Engand-where the thing called omelette is springy, thick and dry-four ounces of mutton hashed in some secret way which makes you eat it. liliputian cotelette per person, with souffie Dotatoes-the cookery of which is apparently elementary, if not instinctiye, with Frenchwomen, while we must go to first-class hotel chefs to get them-a cake from the pastry cooks round the corner to follow, then Camembert just ripe to a turn, and strawberries-but these must not be boasted about, for they are always bet ter in London, whither, of course. the best are sent from Brittany. To cap it all comes the coffee, generally undrink- ables in Paris cafes, always undrinka- 1 ble in London cafes, usually perfect in Paris houses where the thrifty wife has looked after 1t.
 was once privileged to receive the condolences of a French lady who had lived in London in a fiat. She had two | servants, a maid who was perfection, | and a general cook, who was English | in fact, Cookney. The cooks ham and eggs were really superb. Her boiled l dumpings were exquisite. Beyond that her science was dim. The French lady | (o she told mel took cook in hand on the first day, and made an omelette be- fore her eyes. The cook sat down on a | chair with a face like an astontshed full moon. She said 1t made her that
 nervous to see madame whisk the eggs about so.' The omelette was done and
 ready to serve before the cook had re-
 covered.
 Then madame stewed up yesterday s | mutton. She made some auburn-col
 ored sauce, she conjured with herbs
 she juggled with condiments, she kept the pot on the move over three flames of the gas stove all the time. Cook sat
 mopping her forehead. When the dish l was done, cook tied her bonnet strings,
 which had hitherto been dangling, and
 shook the dust of the kitchen from her feet. She was cook, she was not go-
 ing into service at her time of life to dc | necromancy.
 As matter of fact, the French lady
 was no cook at ali in her own opinion,
 She would not have ventured to coun-
 sel a good general servant knowing eui-
 sine in Paris. She merely knew the
 half-dozen simple tricks of cookery
 which every ordinary French woman
 seems to know.

WoMEN's MEN.

What women like in men has been
 discussed by various of our readers,
 primarily regarding fiction and it's heroes, but with reference also to real life. One warns up not to confuse the attractions of romance with the quan- ties which attract in living beings
 Speaking of George Eliots "Romola" ]" she says: Tn real life believe a man like Tito would attract az Til on ac- count of his superficial qualities, while in the book the strength of the author has shown them up in such true light that a girl of sixteen could not fail to see the danger signal and take to cov- CT. ' In novels. strength is always requisite in the hero, and weakness cannot be redeemed by head or heart. No Dobbin for hr. This lady, who halls from Texas, thinks William Ashe reserves all he got" When she was fourteen the hero of "The First Violin disturbed her fluttering heart. To her, as to many of her sex Scott is obnox- ious partly on account of the kind of woman he preferred. On her favorable l list are Adam Bede, Monsieur Beau- caire, Peter Sterling, John Storm, John Halifax, Colonel Newcombe, The Little Minister John Alden, Jacob in Lady Roses Daughter Tom of "The Mill on the Floss" and the hero of "To Have and toIold.'' Such men as David Cop perfeld, Richard Carvel, and Hugfl Wynne have little interest for our Tex as beauty, and the Egotist, Charley 1 Steele, and Alec D'JJrberville represent her view of the repllant. A girl from Missouri, is all for strength, as are most of our lady correspondents, is strong for Felix Holt, with the same authors Doctor Lydgate standing high, Rochester is strong all along the line, although one dame thinks his power is to crass and mixed too freely with the cruel. Such reservations bother not her for whom Petruchio reaches the 1 highest mark of male attractiveness Gentle men, she thinks, women love "as we love Inonth-old babies Colonel Newcombex and Give, for instance J ''The Virginian'' for her. Isn't it with a strong desire to stand in Mollys shoes that we turn to the beginning of the book and read it again?' She doesn't object. to Rob Roy, among Scott's heroes and in George Eliot Felix Holt would pass if he used comb and necktie. Caleb, in Harvard'st Pearl Maiden,'' she would have seized upon three days after finding him. But our discussion of this important topic is by no means ended.-Collier's Weekly.
