NEW YORK, May I9.-The Herald's
Washington dispatch says: General
Dent states that General Grant has
written a letter, which will be handed
in due time the President of the Chicago
Convention, declining the nomination
for the Presidency. In the letter Gen'l
Grant states that the only motive
which could induce him to accept the
position would be an anxiety for the
complete restoration of the Union, and
as executive OF the Nation he could aid
materially in promoting that end, but
as the object is now almost accomplish
ed, and will soon be wholly completed,
he would rather retain the position he
now holds. he however, hopes the
wisdom ofthe convention may unite on
a candidate who will do honor to the
party and good for the country.

PROBABLE END OF THE PARAGUAYAN WAR
The news from South America shows a sud-
den and unexpected change in the as peet Of the
war in Paraguay. The latest previous advlces
represented the csuse OF the allies as almost
hopeless-now the announcement is made that
tney have at last captured the Paraguayan
stronghold of Humaita, with a large amount
OF war material and considerable portion Of
ITS garrison. The place was finally reduced
by starvation, and in attempting to leave it,

was general in Brazil that the war was very

1t seems paradoxical to observe that the
art Of listening well forms a part Of the
duty of conversation. To give up the
whole Of your attention to the person who
addresses himself to you Is sometimes a
heavy task; but It is one which we must
pay for the privileges of social life, and
an early practice will render It almost an
involuntary act Of good breeding; whilst
consideration for others will give this lit
tie sacrifice merit and charm Of which,
the lowest proof of Christian feeling can
never be devoid. TO listen well Is to make
an unconscious advancement In the power
or conversing. In listening we perceive
III what the Interest, In what the failunAo
others consists. We become, too. aware
OF our own deficiencies, without having
them taught through the medium OF HUI
milauon. We find ourselves often more
Ignorant than we could supposed possible.
We learn, by a very moderate attention to
the sort OF topics which please. to form a
style OF our own. The "art Of conversa-
ton, Is an unpleasant phrase. The pow
er OF converslng well Is least agreeable
when II assumes the character Of an art.
In listening, q well.brcd EentlewOman
VIII generally sympathize with the speak
er. or, u needs must be, differ as gently.
Much character Is shown In the art Of lis
tcning. some people appear TO be In a
violent hurry whilst another speaks; they
hasten on tho person who addresses them,
as one would urge on horse. with "Yes,
yes. Very good. Ah!, Others sit on
the mii stare, eyes fixed rs those Of an
owl on the speaker. From others, loud
and long laugh Is ut intervals produced,
and oil the company turn round to see
what was the cause OF the merrimcnt.
