broken voyrs.
Promises are lightl spoken;
Vows on which we blindl build
(Uttered only to bo broken),
Go forever unfulfilled.
Oft betrayed but still believing
Duped again and yet again
All our hoping, all onr grieving
Warns ub, but it warns in vain.
From the cradle to the coral
From the sunny days of youth
We are taught the simple moral,
Btill we doubt the moral's truth.
When a boy, they found me rather
Loth to do as I was bid.
"I shall buy a birch," said father.
Broken vows 1 He nevwr did.
Grown extravagant, when youthful,
In my tailor's debt I ran;
lie appeared about as truthful
In his talk as any man.
Let me tell you how he sold me:
'Look you, Mr. What's-Your-Name,
I shall summon you," he told me
But the summons never came.
Through the meadows, daisy-laden,
Once it was my lot to stray,
Talking to a lovely maiden
In a vory spooney way;
And I stole a kiss another
Then another then a lot.
"Fie!" she said; "I'll tell my mother."
Idle words; she told her not.
GENERAL GRANTS POSITION.
III Official Iteeord as Contained In Ills
Despatches to the District Comnuudtra,
Washington, Saturday, August 17, 18G7.
As studious attempts are now being made to
place General Grant In a false position before
the country because of his temporary accept
ance of the office of Secretary of War, and Inas
much ascertain Journals are demanding official
evidence of the statements that General Grant
heartily coincides with the policy of Congress,
the following facts asinme unusual interest.
In addition to these official papers, some of
Which have been printed heretofore, it will be
remembered that Just before the adjournment
of Congress In July, General Grant was twice
examined before tbe Judiciary Committee, and
sufficient of his testimony became publics to
satisfy the most radical members of the House,
including Speaker Colfax, John Covode, Wil
liams, of Pennsylvania, and others, that Gene
ral Grant's sympathies have beeu decidedly
with the reconstruction policy of Congress, espe
cially since it has had a policy.
Many people forget the highly important fact
that General (i nun's po.siilon, purely a mili
tary one, has given him no opportunity for the
free expression of bis views on political ques
tions. To have made such opportunities would
have been an infraction of that very discipline
Which he 1b bound by array regulations to in
culcate among bis subordinates. So far as
CJeneral Grant has had any occasion to speak
or act, the record will show that it Is on the
right side. When his recent testimony before
the Judiciary Committee, In which his views
were asked for and expressed, is published, his
, position will be doubted by none.
On the 6th of May, 1867, General Grant wrote
General Schoneld as follows regarding his order
on registration;
Washington. May 8, 1867. General: Your letter of
the 22d of April, lucloslng a copy of regulations for
the registration ol voters Id your command, waaie
ceived during my absence from the city, and eitber
from my neglect, or tbat of aome one else, I bave only
Just read them. The order Is without number and
without dale, from which I lnler you are waiting to
hear whether tbere are any suggestions to offer before
publishing 1U I hasten, therefore, at this apparently
late day, to reply.
The order seems to me to meet every point, and to
be good. I asked tbe Secretary of War to know If
be bad any suggestions to offer. He said tbat he
bad read the order, and found notblug to suggest In
relation to It,
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
U. B. GRANT, General.
Brevet Malor-General J. M. bcbolleld. Commanding
First District.
As conclusive evidence of General Grant's in
terpretation of the Reconstruction acts of Con
gress, long before Stanbery pronounced upon
them, witness the following correspondence
between General Pope and himself, never here
tofore printed In i ul 1:
Headquarters Third Military District.
General: I bave the honor to transmit Inclosed a
copy of an order wbleh it Is my purpose to publish as
aoon as I have ascertained from Provisional Gov
ernor Jenkins whether, at the time be issued his ad
lre8 to the people of tbls State, he bad seen or bud
knowledge of my Order No. 1. Tbe course of Governor
Jenkins la dlsauproved and deprecated by every man
In tbe Slate who lavors reconstruction. It Is doing
(treat Injury by keeping the prople disturbed and un
certain wbat to do. and In arresting tbe general move
ment which was going on tor active participation In
re-tstabllsblng the Slate government. In addition to
this, I am mainly concerned In tbe total neglect of
his duties and tbe embarrassment In the execution of
the laws and tbe maintenance of good order, arlniag
from tbe fact tbat there Is no Lieutenant-Governor,
and no ene in tbe (slate who can act for him.
Already 11 has been necessary to Intnrtere with tbe
military authority to arrest the ej ecu tlou of a man
who was recommended to Exec itive clemency by
both Judge and Jury, but wbo would Inevitably have
been banged because the Provlsk nal Governor bad
aueentf d himself, and was not preient to perform his
duties.
Provisional Governor Jenkins' course In attempting
to make Georgia a party to a null, witbout authority
of law and without the consent or either Legislature
or people, Is creating great dissatisfaction, and is
embarrassing me very much In tbe performance of
my duty. His address to tbe peeplo of this State,
advising them to take no action under the late acts
ot Congress, and denouncing those acta In a manner
to excite ill-feeling. It not actual disturbance In their
execntion, is a positive violation of my Urder No. 1,
and If not promptly Dotlced will render that order
cull and of uo enect, and at onoe array the whole
rmy of State ofUctals against the execution of those
acta.
Tbe HI effects of permitting the whole power of the
Srovlslonal btate government, through alt Its civil
epartnienta and lu all lis ramifications, to be used
to frustrate the acts of Congress and to keep up the
disturbed condition of the public mlud, cannot be
overstated, No reconstruction is possible, and It will
be next to Impossible to secure faithful administra
tion of the laws while such Influences are allowed to
coon unchecked, unless tbe entire civil government
is overthrown and tbe military substituted. I deem
It of tbe last importance to arrest It now, la the
pernon of Provisional Governor Jenkins. If be Is
permitted to set authority at defiance, It will be use
lens to notice such offenses committed by tbe minor
o Ulcere.
I snail wait until tbe receipt of this letter and
order Is acknowledged, which I request may be done
by telegraph, which, if am not restrained, I will then
publish and execute the order.
1 ' am. General, veiy respectfully, yovr obedient
servant, JOHN POPE.
Brevet Major-Genera! Commanding.
Gen. 17. B. Grant, Geueral-ln-Chiet U, S. Army.
Endorsement on the foregoing.
Respectfully forwarded to the Secretary of War for
his Information. The telegraphic despatch herein en
closed shows that Governor Jenkins, of Geortla, has
given such pledges to the commander of tbe Third
District as to Induce him to withhold, for the present,
his order suspending the Governor.
Tbe conduct of Governor Jenkins demonstrates,
however, how possible It Is for discontented mvlf
tllceri of the reconstructed States to defeat the laws
of Congress If the power does not exist with the dis
trict commanders to suxpend their functions for cause
In some way. It seems clear to me that the nowr la
riven In the bill "for the more ellloient government
of the .Rebel Status," fo use or not, at the pleasure of
district commanders, tbe provlnlonal machinery set
up without tbe authority of Congress In the States lo
which the Reconstruction act applies. There being
doubt, however 'on this point. I would respecttuiiy
as it an early opinion on the subject. WT
If the power of removal does not exist with district
commanders, then It wi'l become necessary tor thetn
to take refute under that section of the bill which
authorise military commissions.
U. B. GRANT, General.

When General Pope received the Attorney
General's opinion on the Reconstruction Act
the following correspondence occurred:
(Telegram cipher Received t P. M.)
Atlanta, Ga., June 27 1MI7. General U. S. Grant,

Ten davs ago I bad made and published Instruc
tions to Registers which will have to be dropped If
the Attorney-General's opinion Is enforced. The
opinion sent me by the President s order does not
aeern to be be an order to me oo the subject: but a
there may be room for doubt, I ask that I be inarmed
by telegraph whether or not I am ordered by the
President to conform my ao'.lon to the Attorney
Serai's opinion. I stand ready to obey the Pre.!

When General Ord Iwmmki his circular of In

Jraph 1 o" which declared thai the Koglstrars
innU admit all who were willing to take the
oath, General Grant wrote him us follows:
W'A.niNfiToN, June 1.1, General; Copy or your
Dual Insirucllons to Hoards of IteglBtration.of June 10,
JHI7, Ir Jiini received.
1 entirely dissent from the views contained In para
graph I V. Your view as to the duty ot Registrars lo
register every man who will take the required oath,
though they may know the applicant perjures him
self. Is suslaiued by the views of the Attorney
General. My opinion is, that it Is the duty of the Hoard of
Registration to see. so lar as It lies In their power, that
no unatilhorl.cd person is allowed to register. To
secure this end. Registrars should be allowni to ad
minister oaths and examine witnesses. The la,
however, makes district commanders their own
interpreters of their power and duty under It; and. In
my opinion, the Attorney-General or myself can no
more than give our opinion as lo the meaning of the
law: neither can eulorce their views against the judg
ment of those made responsible for the faltulul execu
tion of the law, thedlstrlct commanders.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

General Grant Vnn probably had more cor
respondence with General Mheritl tn on the sub

manifested in General Grant's communica
tions. The following are proof of the fact:

Tbe opinion ot tbe Attorney-General has not been
distributed te District Commanders In language or
manner entitling it to the force of an order. Nor can
I suppose that the President Intended It to have such
force. U. S. GRANT, General.
With the exception of half a dozen minor and
unimportant communications, these are all the
official utterances of General Grant which
there is vet authority to make public. But I
have the most trustworthy assurance that what
has followed has been of a character Bhowlng
still more conclusively that General Grant Is
heartily in sympathy with the spirit of the
Congressional reconstruction policy, and that
he has sought to carry It out in the manner
which its language and spirit plainly indicate.
V. 1". 'J'imea,
Discipline in the French Army,
A writer in 2he Month says that non-commis-lOhcd
officers in the French army are not often
reduced to the ranks, though the colonel of the
regiment has power to do so. They are generally
punished by confinement to barracks or arrest
In their own quarters, or, it on active service,
in the tents which serve as the salle de police.
For offenses against honesty or for insubordina
tion, they are always tried by a court-martial.
nut crime is rare among mem. sometimes.
many ot tbem being voung men. they indulge
bornewhat too freely in wine; but if not on duty,
ana it ine oiHaee is not repeated, they are let
off with a scoldiner or a few days' arrest. The
commissioned officers in like manDer are pun
ished by irom three to thirty days' arrest in
their on quarters for any omission in matters
oi duty, or on account of any folly for which
their youth may plead with the colonel not to
be too hard upon them.
Sometimes an officer who has misbehaved is
exchanged into another regiment, and. occa
sionally, but rarely, is placed on the non-actioite
list, which is equivalent to temporary half-pay.
The latter punishment is resorted to sometimes
when oilicers have run verv deenlv into debt.
aDd it is thought better that they should retire
for a time irom their regiments, until they can
make 6ome arrangement with their creditors.
It is true tbat the latter cannot arrest them;
but still indebtedness in the French army is
considered a disgrace, and unworthy of those
who wear the uniiorm. With them officers
Lave no excuse for being behind the world.
The State takes care that they bhall have no
excuse for cxtravugance, whereas in our army
we are obliged, in the junior ranks, to expect
more than wo actually receive.
The trades, tradesmen, workmen, and artifi
cers oi a rreucn regiment are ot themselves
something to see and to study. The baking of
tne Dread, ine Killing ot the meat, the repairing
of the barrack-buildings, the making of the
boots and clothes all things, in short that can
pofsibly be required in the regiment, are done
oy me men themselves, and they thus earn con
enlerabie additions to their pay. Every soldier,
once he has learned his drill, is expected to
work at something or other, and those that can
do nothing better dig and delve and plant and
cultivato the gardens which supply vegetables
for the different regimental messes. Nothing
feems to be made outside tho corps, as those
who have ot late years taken notice of the
French soldiers' dress can vouch lor. The small.
compact chacko; the absence of all belts across
tbe chest: the having black instead of white
belts; the loose knickerbockers, with light
leather leggings and stout boots, leave nothing
to be wiphed tor in the way of a neat, useful,
and, at the same time, handfomo uniform. The
chaDKes which the cresent Emperor has Intro
dnced in the dress ot the army have been very
great, and me exceedingly popular in the ser
vice. It is the same with tho oilicers. Without
being at all exnpiihivr. their uniform is soldier-
like, useful, and the rank of any of the wearers
may ue aecortaiDed at a glance.
Meteorites. M. DanbrCe, who has been
investigating the specimens of meteorites In
the l'aris collection, divides all meteorites
into two primary trouns Siderites and Aside
rites the former beinz characterized bv the
presence of metallic iron and the latter by its
absence. The Asiderites contain one group
omy, wmcu is termed Asiderei.. The Bido
rites are divided into two sections: in the
first the Specimens do not nnW ntnnv rvarti

Perqnlsltes I Ah I then we come to a point on
which 1 think there should be some better
underFtanding between "up-stalrs and down."
When I was a student at the Hoyal Academy,
with a moderate allowance from the parental
tmrse, I used to spend my Easter week at a
friend's honse in the country, where an estah.
lifchmcDt was kept on ra.her a large scale. My
ruilwHV journey there and back, cab tares, and
other little incidental expenses cot me on those
occasions perhaps somewlmt more than I was
justified in spending on such an excursion, lint
on leaving the house a tax awaited me which 1
really could not afford to pay, and yet from
which no younir gentleman with any sense of
dignity could escape. My iriend had a solemn
butler but of livery of course with a bald
bead, and an air of such tremendous import
ance that one instinctively felt (at least I did)
how delicate a task it was to oiler him any gra
tuity at ail. and how utterly impossible it would
. .1 1.1
nave oeen to oner aim anyiuing less tuun irom
will out nnsltlvelv insuUincr him. The same
argument applied with equal reason to the
housekeeper, a aeraurc-iookincr pereonaee, wuo
bad breakfast served in her own room, and
whom the other servants addressed as "mum."
Then there was my friend's valet, who conde
scended to bring me my shavtug-wuter in tho
morning, and laid out my dress-coat before
dinner. There was another gentleman in livery
who, during the repast, came frequently to me
with oners ot a "little sncrry, iittio 'ocu.sir," ana
so forth. Finally, there were the groom who
bronaht round our horses to the door, the
gardener, who had always some trifle to offer m
the shape of fruit or vegetables as 1 was leav
ing (no doubt they thought, or pretended to
think, tbnt 1 had a house and cuisine of my
own in town, whereas I lived in Bloomsbury
lodgings, and my usual dinner consisted of a
couple of chops), and tho lodgekecper, who
touched his hat whenever I entered or left the
grounds. Ali these functionitries bud in turn to
be feed, and by the time their gilts had been
duly dispens-ed 1 was generally minus the best
half of my last 5 note. Now, it seems to me
tbat this syetem of servant-tipping requires re
vision. It falls rather hard on our young friends
and poor relatious, guests whose purses are
slender whoBe wallets are not amply stored.

The Reclamation of Vagabond Boys lu
tiOUUOU,
The London Teteqravh says: "With the pur
pose ot establishmir a most useful but not over-
prosperous charity on a permanent footing of
success, the iriends of the institution in Manscll
street, Whitechapel, have just met, Dy invitation
oi tne committee, to consider tne Dost means or
attaining the objects in view. The Refuge for
Homeless and Destitute Uovs takes ud the work
ol the ragged schools, and is certified under the
excellent act of 185,', which empowers a magis
trate to send useful niiacmeanants to be in
structed in various branches of industry, with
authority lor their detention. The itt tuge now
under notice was opened in llieh street. White
chapel, in 1854, and has since been removed to
a larger building in ManFell street. The difficult
task- ot reclamation has been pursued with vary
ing results; and the lessons which the managers
have learned from tho experience of thirteen
years are not the less valuable, perhaps, because
they have sprung irom failures.
"The very first scheme of teaching these half
clad little outcasts how to make and mend
clothes, boots, and shoes, broke down hope
lessly, and other trades have been resorted to
with some encouraging effect. The manu
facture of brushes ana of paper bags is in
active operation. Some of the very smallest of
the lads labor with a will that shows itself in
the firmness and speed of their work; and the
signs of a natural industry cannot but be grati-
lymg to those benevolent persons who have
helped to snatch the forlorn little ones from a
life of idleness and vice. No donbt, if the in
dustry were so remunerative as to make tha in
stitution sell-supporting, a great principle would
be vindicated, apart from the mere kindliness of
the design. But the simple want of present
commercial success does not at all prove that
the employment of these boys should cease.
On the contrary, it U most desirable to help
the cood work on, and to give it such impetus
as may eventually enable it to run alone.
"lueie are now one nunurea ana one ooys
under charge of the establishment; tbe number
who bave participated in its benefits since the
foundation is four thousand. Of these it is too
certain that many bave returned to their old
ways ot lite; out others have done wen, ana not
a lew have emigrated to the colonies."
Tbe Russian Gold Mines.
The London Journal of Minina savs: "The
3uantity of eold produced in 1864 by private iu
ustry, as well in the Ural Mountains as in East
ern Siberia, amounted to nineteen tons, showing
a slight lallime oft as compared with tbe year
1863. The year 1865 was one of the most favor
able character for the production of Russian
gold, the results obtained having everywhere
surpsssed those of preceding years. As regards
eastern Siberia, tne production ot itstib exceeded
tbat of 1864 bv 2743 tons, and tbat of 1863 by
1UH6 tons. This augmentation, which would
have been greater if drought had not often in
terrupted the works, was the result of works in
new bearings. In Western Siberia 1865 yielded
0272 ton more gold than was obtained in 1864,
and almost twice us much as was produced in
1863. in the urai district tbe production has
scarcely changed of late years. From an ab
sence of statistical documents as to the produc
tion of the State in the Ural district and in
Eastern Siberia, we can only. In order to form
an idea ot the importance of its bearings, adopt
as a minimum the average production ot lormer
years that ls.about 1C70 tons tor the Ural group.
and tons lor Eastern Siberia. The total
production of gold in Russia was estimated at
nearly twenty-three tons in 1864. and a little
more than twenty-six tons in 1866."
