HISTORY OP THE CASK.
About tho year 18C7 Daniel F. Se;
bert, of Beach Haven, induced Bec;
with S. Brockway, of tho same vicinity,
to havo his lifo insured for tho sum of
S'lO.OOO.of which $20,000 were in tho
-cEtna Lifo of New York, 10,000 in
tho Uonnccticut .Mutual Ijifo and S10,

Newark, N. J. About a year after
this Bcckwith S. Brockway died. Tho
death proof was made out and rll tho
preparations made for collection of tho
insurance money by 1). 1 Hovbert,
Tho companies interested objected to
paying Seybert on tho ground that ho
had no insiirablo interest in tho case.
Seybert brought suit against tho iEtna
company in 1872 in tho courts of Luz
orno county. Tho matter was submit

whoso decision was adverse to Sev,
bert's claim on tho gronud that ho had
no insurablo intereht in tho lifo of
Brookway. Seybort rested until 1882,
when ho brought suit against tho Now

Judging from tho number of prominent

lulliionco must havo bcon brought to
bear on tho President for appointment,
which it was hoped ho would mako be

not therefore bo surprised il somo iin-
poitaut nnpointmcnts In tho states aro

although it has been slated that ho
would tako no political cares Into tho
woods with htm.
It has for years been the custom to
nllow departmental clerks thirty days
lcavu of aboonco in a year, and
thirty days additional "sick lcavu'1
with pay. But this has been changed
so as to allow only thiity days In all.
This lcavo has ucually been taken in
tho summer months, but so far this
year but few loaves havo been, applied
for, compared with what havo ucen
granted in Clio samo months .in previous
years. Many of tho clerks nro fearful
that if they should tako n loavo it
might bo extended indefinitely without
pay, and so their courago to ask fqr it
is very weak. But there is little need
of any ono leaving Washington in sum
mer. At this season of tho year tho
foliage, plants and shrubbery which
adorn our circles and parks aro in the
height of their glory. The least oh
servant person can scarcely pass by
them without being conscious of a
plrasurablo emotion.
A count jint completed of tho pub
lic documents stored nt tho Capitol
shows that thcro aro about 700,000 of
such documents stored there. Tlioro
used to ba a great demand for Agricul
tural Reports, but not such a largo de
mand of lato years, as most pcoplo havo
thought; for somo years past there
havo been as many as 10,000 copies
a year left undistributed.
Tho Medical Museum, which occu
pies tho old Ford's Theatre on Tenth
street, mado historic by tho assassina
tion of President Linooln in ' it, is in
luck. Congress at its last session np
preprinted S200,000 for tho erection of
a new building. Tho site selected is
tho Smithsonian grounds, where it will
stand alongside the Smithsonian and
National Museum buildings places
well known to every person who has
ever visited Washington. Bids just
received for its erection range from
8179,000 to $233,000.
Tho noxt building erected ought to
bo for tho Library of Congress, so ns
to relievo tho crowded condition of tho
Capitol building, and provido a safo
repository for tho thousands of volumes
now stacked up bo as to bo inaccessible.
Lieut. Grcely's health is not as bad
as reported, llo is spending tho sum

leavo in October for Scotland, but his
report on tho Arctic expedition will bo
given to the pnblio before ho sails for

Apropos of tho President's iournov
It was said by somo ot his friends to
day that they did not expect Wliitclaw
Reid to invito tho Chief Magistrato to

connected with tins which is as inter

mo auusivo treatment ot uov. uteve
land in tho columns of tho Tribune
tho editor of that paper addressed Clovo
land d letter shortly aftnr tho election
neking him to call upon him when ho
camo to Now York. This letter, it is
unnecessary to say, was nnver answer
ed. When tho President visited Now
York lato in tho winter for tho tiurposo
oi meeting me leaders in tho JJomo,
cratio party, with whom ho was unac
quaintcd, Mr. Reid was one of the
hrst to call and pay his respects. As
ho aroso to loaye ho whispered in tho

Ill STORV THAT AN OKI'ICKIt IN l.llKS
AIIMV IS SAID TO 1IAVK IWI.AT
Kll AITEIt TUB WAIt.
A writer in tho Now York Sun tells
this story : A few months after the
termination of Iho sipgo of Paris in
1871, during which I had acted as spo-
cial correspondent for an English news
paper, i was staying lor a short timo
nt tho Grand Hotel in that city. While
I was sipping coffee and smoking a ci
gar an American friend, Colonel W.,
entered and introduced me to n gentle
man who accompanied him. Wo sat
down at tho littlo marblo tablo of tho
cafo for n chat. Tlio conversation soon
becamo interesting, for all tbreo were
brimful of military anecdotes and re
miniscences of tho lato war in France
as well as of tho war in America.
Colonel W.'s friend, whoso namo has
escaped my memory, was prevailed up
on to relate tho following story, which
is given as thoroughly reliable:
"Although Iho Colonel hero and I
were firm friends from tho days of our
youth, wo found ourselves, liko many
others, when tho war of secession
broko out, ranged upon opposito sides.
Wo were, however, spared tho distress
of being thrown into immediato per
sonal contact during that dreadful pe
riod. I was always a headstrong, im
petuous sort of fellow, and n red-hot
partisan of the Confederate cause.
Toward tho latter part of tho war 1
had workod up my intompcrato zeal to
tho point of believing that nothing
could savo tho Confederacy from do
struction except some heroic deed of
self-sacrifice. Tho continued series of
defeats which wo had recently sustain
ed at tho hands of General Grant had
served to inspire in my mind an intense
rago which ultimately degenerated into
a bitter personal haired against the
man himself.
"At this particular period wo wcro
noaring what proved to bo tho termi
nation of tho terrific struggle, for Gen
eral Lee, in whoso army I was an offi
cer, was expeoting to como into .actual
collision with General Grant's main
nrmy from day to day. Of courso you
havo read and heard all about tho final
surrender of tlio Confederate forces.
As soon as information reached mo
that our sacred cause was ruined my
indignation rendered mo ftiriou, but I
breathed not a word of tho ignoble
resolution which I had suddenly form
ed, namely, that Gencrf.l Grant should
not survivo his triumph. Briefly, I so
contrived as to get mixed up among
tho group of staff officers surrounding
General Leo when Grant rodo down
unostentatiously to receive Iho formal
surrender of our chieftain. I had pre
viously, however, fortified myself for
tho critical moment with two stiff
glasses of whisky. Then I set myself
to watching closely for an oppoitunity
of getting a shot at him with my re
volver. "When Leo advanced with melan
choly but courtoons dign'uy and ten
dered his sword to tho conqueror I
could havo lodged a bullet in Grant's
heart with dead curtainty, but somo
mysterious interposition of Providonoo
stayed my murderous hand for tho mo
ment. Goncral Grant took tho proffer
ed sword with both hands, examined it,
and, with a winning Binile, gracefully
handed it back to its owner, saying:
'This boautiful weapon could not bo
worn uy a uraver or worthier mon
Therefore, Goncral Lee, I havo
the
honor of returning it to you,' or word
to this effect.
"A sudden revulsion of fueling over
came mo and tears rushed to ray oyes.
Time passed and it was not until about
two years ago that I found tho clianoo
ot onoo more seeing uoucral Grant,
On that occasion 1 wa presented to
him in tho Whitu IIouso by Colonel
W. With choked utterance I entreat
ed a fow privato words with him, on-
lessed tho shame, which for covural
years had weighed heavily on my
heart, and craved his forgivoness. Lay
jug his loft hand on my shoulder ho
held my right hand within his warm
and friendly grasp, ns with that sad
but bowitching smile of his ho said
softly: 'Lot us both thank God, sir,

A Dead Issue.
When tho pcoplo of tho United
States buticd Gen. Grant they laid bo
sido him in tho gravo forever the laht
excuse for sectional agitation. Al
most with his dying breath the com
mander of the Union armies expressed
his thankfulness that ho had bcon spar
ed long enough to seo lor himself tho
'happy harmony" that had been estab
lished between tho North and the
Soutb, and his words to tlio ex-Con-fedorato
Gen. Buckner, from whom ho
wrested Fort Douelson during tho war,
will livo in history. "Wo may now,"
wroto Gen. Grant, "well look forward
to n perpetual poacc at homo and a
national strength that will screen us
ngaiuet any foreign complication." At
tho tomb Saturday four of tho most
distinguished surviving generals of tho
war Sherman and Sheridan, who had
fought for tho Union, and Buckner and
Johnson, who had fought for the Con
federacy stood side by side. And as
tho iron doors closed on tho mortal re
mains of tho dead commander, they
shut in forever tho decaying corpso of
scclicnal animosity.
Will it bo possible for partisan fanli
cism or political necessity to again re
vive a feeling of antagonism between
tho two sections of tho Union t Will
it bo in tho power of tho politicians to
persuade tho people to pay no heod to
falsify his predictions of "happy har
mony" between thoso who were at en
mity only a few years ago ?
Let us hope not I When partisan
orators and organs chargo tho South
with heading nuw rebellions ; with a
determination to defy iho Constitution
and violato tho rights of citizens ; with
being still "unreconstructed rebels"
and with a desire to bo again "in tho
saddle," let us hone that the people
will have tho good sense to remember
tho words ot peace and lraternity trac
ed by tho feeble hand of tho dying sol
dicr of tho Union, and will robuko tho
attempt to tear open his gravo and de
stroy tho patriotic work to which
ho
devoted tho
last hours of his life.

marle county, Vo., and descended from
ono of tho best families. Ho adopted
tho profession of tlio law, and, boing a
man ui rcmuritauiu intellectual endow

uous lor his great ability as an ad
vocate, and finally camo to bo
tho greatest prosecuting attorney in
Western Virginia. Ho served as
volunteer in tho war of 1812, and was
twice elected to congress. During
jaoksons administration ho was
warm iriond or tho rremdent, am
mako a notablo speech in defenco of tho
latter in tho houso, for which Jackson
thankod him both in person and by

and has been altogether at tho bar and
on tho bench 73 years, having only
tired in mad, when in his U2d year,
and after he had booomo totally blind
In all his official life ho never had
but two of his decision rovorsod. Ho

What the Funeral Cost.
Tin-: iixrKNSK ok tiik grkat Pahvant
M.VTTIlIt Or (1UKSS-WOUK.
All that has been published concern
ing tho cost of Goncral Grant's funer
nl is pure guess-work. Things have
not yet taken such uliapo that it could
bo otherwise. Mr. Merritt, tho under
taker, said that ho could not tell wheth
er his bill would bo twenty thousand
dollars or twenty thousand cents. Ho
did not know yet what tho oxpenso of
numbers of details had been to him
and until ho knew this it was impossi
ble to iiinxe oven nn approximate esti
malo ot what his charges would be.
Iho first order camo to him in a tele
gram from Colonel Frod Grant, tho
day the General died. This covered
the canopy, the cotlin, tho embalming
ami an tuat was uono nt Alt. McUrceror.
Iho second order camo from tho War
Department and covered the funeral
oar, livo hundred carnages and the
work hero in tho city. So far as he
knew now ho should render ono bill
to tho jjovcrnniont ftnd another to Col
onel Grant.
What tho doctors bills are is cuuallv
as much in doubt. Dr. Douglas up to
tho timo of tho General's death had re
ceiyed from the family only $1,000.
This was iu tho form of a check mado
out by tho General himsolf on receiv
ing an installment of his retired pay.
The family havo as yet received notli
iug from tho General's book and prob.
nbly will receivo from it much less than
has bocn asserted.
They get soventy cents on tho vol-!
limo and up to the lime of tho Ouner
nl's death llielr share from Iho subscrip
tions now in amounted to about $10,
000. Thoy havo received no advances
from Iho publishers. Colonel Grant is
without resources, but will havo a val
uablo property when ho has completed
tho biography ol his lather, upon
which ho will nt mien set to woik.
Tho disposition of some of tho most
valuable mcmunlocs of thu liineral has
already been decided upon. Tho largo
American ling that was laid on the Ice
cakct at Mt. McGregor will bo retain
ed by Colonel Grant. Ono of tho (lags
that was on tho funeral car will be giv
en to U. a. Urant l'ost, (J. A. K., ono
to thu Sovc-nth Regiment, Now York,
and ono to Mrs. Dr. Newman. Tho
manner in winch tlio fourth one 19 to

l'rom Letter to I'MtatWlvhla Ifm .
I was struck by a remark mado to
mo by Dr. Newman. IIo said to me,
in speaking of the family and the mon
ey they might havo to livo on: "Tlioro
arc eight families, yen her, to bo sup
ported." Now, isn't that a littlo bit
exaggerated ? Tho widow should bo
placed, beyond question, far up along
the line of pecuniary ease. Well leva
sco 'about that, I am told by Mr. Jones
mat tno sl'.ju,uuii fund is ns much a
8250,000 fund to day as it over was.
That will give this good lady 815,000
a year. Congress will unquestionably
pension her, as It has all tho widows of
all other presidents, and givo her 5,
000 a year. Tho publishers of Gen.
Grant's momoirs havo already ordors
for nearly three hundred thonsand cop
ies, on which Mrs. Grant is to receive
7a ci'nls each, and tho largo probabili
ties aro certainly tho expectations are
that a million copies will be sold, on
each of which she is to receivo 75
cents. In other words tho good lady
will bo rich boyond the dream of pos
siblo avarice.
If we aro to assume that tho young
men aro incapable of earning their
own living, there is quito sufficient in
tlio annual incorao to support them all.
But Fred Grant has married tho
daughter of a very rich man, manv
times a millionaire, indeed, and is in
tho enjoyment of a handsome incomo
from that source, and in this country,
where Gon. Grant was born a humble
Jad, and worked himself by clean-cut
industry, perseverance, energy and
loyal service, to such a point of" public
favor as to bo mado twice President of
tho United States, and when ho dies to
bo deemed worthy of a national monu
ment, it seems odd and strange, evon
for Dr. Newman, to class among tho
eight families to be supported the boys
who are men, old enough long sinco
to go into business, to havo lost a for
tone in a financial crash which havo
no precedent and which thus far, for
tunatoly, has had no successor.
