that came at lo-st Fa to seemed tn
have destined hiui for an Inglorious
career. He was not a survefvil iln
aneler. Trido was not his forte, and
he had no aptitude for farm lifo. Ho
called his farm at Urn vols "Hard
sera bblo." iH-cause his life there w.is
a hard seralible for existence. While
he sold wood, Mrs. Grant kept house
without tho aid of a servant, aud
cleared a small space on the lint Mod
snll for n flower irardon. In Galena,
their friends were all In better cir
cumstances than they, and Mrs.
Grant' lamented the straightened cir
cumstances that prevented her from
fcivins a neighborhood tea party, be
cause she had po decorated chin.i tea
service. The sequence to that life of
Kenteel privation reads like a fairy
story. From civilian to soldier, from
soldier to I'resident of the 1" lilted
States and commander-in-chief of the
American army and navy, maintain-
Grant- Birthplace,
ins tho same prove, Inflexible demea
nor through all his successes that he
had worn in his days of waiting, when
his life appeared to him as "failure,
crowning failure, to the end," with
but one alternative, to work or
starve, his career Is unsurpassed In
American history for its remarkable
changes.
KoKardinc Grant's period of waltins
at Galena for tho tremendous strain
of responsibility and activity that was
before him, H. II. Kohlsatt tells n
characteristic story. One day, when
he was seven years old, ho rode into
Galena with his father on a load of
pardon produce. They drove to the
market square. "My father had re
ceived from Mr. Grant an order for a
basket of vegetables," said Mr. Kohl
satt "lie told me to take the basket
over to Grant's hide store. I went
over there, and I remember distinctly
that the hide and rolls of leather made
a very bad smell. When I walked into
the store I saw man tipped back In
a chair with his feet on a stack of
hides. He was smoklnp a clpar and
readlup a newspaper. I went up to
him and asked him If he was Mr.
ram
-fl;1!'!' M
" The Grunt Mouumeut
Grant lie lenkul aiotmd au l mxhied
his head. Tlieu he told me to put the
basket over by the counter. Whm I
was polnp home with my father I
told him that Mr. Grant must he a
lazy man. The one Impression 1 re
ceived was that he must be a piwr
business man, so indolent and indif
ferent did lie s.H.'iu as he sat tipped
back there smoking his cijjar."
Tho modesty of the preat soldier
was always as groat as his apparent
Indifference to the sum Her ckucih-hs
of life.
When Gen. Grant and Gen. Kher
mtm were given a big reception in
Chicago at the close of the war, this
characteristic story was related of the
hero: He sat with Sherman In the
gallery of tho sanitary fair building
on Dearborn Rqu ire, where the recep
tion was held, aud there were loud
cries for a speech from Gen. Sher
man. "Speech- speech!" rang out In
trumpet toues from the moss, but
Hieynan would not respond.

Then came tho cry, "Oommnnd him
to ma Up n upwoh," to Grant, who
arose slowly, took his cigar from hi
mouth, and said with the Ineompnr
tlile brevity wtilcta was tho soul or
his wit:
"I never commanded a man to do
that which I cannot do myself."
A pathetic story, recently published
relates to the last brief Journey he
ever took from the cottage on Mt.
MaoGrogor. Tho general had a favorite
walking-slick without which ho never
went abroad, even on his drives, and
Ills walking-stick had its own pl.ic
In the corner of his room; no hand but
his own over put It there or took It
thence. Day after day the Journey
froui his chair to that corner before
he sot forth, from the corner to his
chair after his return, and the re
placement of tho stick In Its own
place, grew more dltllcult to tho gen
eral's nerveless and weary feet. And
there came that day, at last, when on
coming In, he glanced towards the cor
ner, stood for a moment silently,
ivaverliiu'ly, a little quiver on the
bravo and steadfast lips, and then
with a gesture which was a wordless
renunciation of life and all dear nsno
ciatlons, he opened his tremulous
hand and let the old stick drop from
It to tho floor at his foot. It was but
a few days later that he entered, with
a soldier's courage, that shadowy val
ley of tho Journey through which
David said: "Thy rod, Thy stiff,
thoy comfort me."

The Southern Idea of pie is ex
tremely crude when applied to that
succulent Northern dish, and subtly
roll noil wheu directed to the political
variety, says the Washington Tost
The farthest development in the plo
line that tho native Southerner has
atalned Is to a manufacture of sweet
potato, which is a State prison coun
terfeit and forgery of the Now Eng
land pumpkin pie. and even that base
imitation has obtained foothold no
farther south thau South Carolina.
Congressman Crane, of Texas, says
that the people of Texas regard the
pie family as Caesar regarded Gaul
divided Into throe kinds, "the klvored,
tho unkiverod and the cross-barred."
"I overheard," said he, "some years
ago a great debate between a North
ern printer and a Southern compos
itor on the subject of the late war.
The Southerner was hot. impetuuus
and sentimental. The Northern cham
pion calm, cool and even phlegmatic.
' 'Why, didn't wo lick you out of
your boots at ManassasV
" 'Granted,' said the Northern type
sticker. " 'Didn't we smash you at Cold Har
bor, and wipe the ground up with you
In the Wlklnerness?'
"'Granted,' said tho other.
" 'Didn't we tie you all up In knots
and make rags of you all through the
Peninsula campaign?'
" 'Granted,' said the Northerner,
'but how was It at Appomattox?'
"'Yes, how was it at Appomattox?
shouted the Southron, growing senti
mental as the mingled beers and whis
kies they were consuming rose to his
head. 'Wo had thirteen thousand
poor, ragged, footsore, tired, starved,
veterans, without a single round of
ammunition, while you had throe hun
dred thousand fat sassy soldiers, pro
vided with every luxury, and ev-every
m-m-mother's s-son of 'em,' ho sob
bed, 'plumb f-full of pie!'"
Not Exactly Afraid.
Gus (a Harvard freshman) Why
should a girl be afraid of a little

Grace (a Wullesley graduate) Who
said we wero afraid of powder? We
merely do not wish to advertise our

The complete novel in the June
number of Lh'imncott's is " The
Wonder-Witch,'' by Al. G. McClellani!.
It it a charming romance of Virg.viia,
beginning in war times, and happily
concluded long afterranis. The litie
refers to a ring, which had a strange
story of its own, and the supposed
power of keeping its wearer consunt
to its giver.
Gilbert Tarker's serial, " The Ttes
passer," reaches its close after carrying
the hero through queer adventures
and dire social and moral dangers.
" The Kumpety Case," by Anna
Fuller, the well-known author of " A
Literary Courtship," tells how justice
was done upon a domestic tyrant by
the Joint action of Providence and an
honest farmer, after the forms of law
had failed to reach the case.
"Two in the Other Half," by E.
Ogdcn Hays, is a powerful and paihe
tic sketch of the lowest life in yew
York.
Under the heading " Sea Island
Cotton Respun," 1 ora E. VV. Sptatt
tells how those islands, with their sim
ple population, passed under northern
care in war times.
In "The New Northwest Passage
to the Orient," J. Macdonald Oxlty
writes of the Canadian Pacific Railway
and its line of steamers to Japan.
In " Hot Work on the Pampas,"
Morgan S. Edmunds describes the sup
pression of brigandage in the Argentine
Republic in 1873.
The venerable poet and essayist. R.
H. Stoddard, supplies in " Mv First

Agnes Rspplier discourses, in her
own brilliant vein, of "The Passing of
the Essay." It is safe to predict that
the essay will not pass away while
iMiss Repplier wields the pen'.
"Dusk in the Desert," by M. S.
Paden, is a remarkable poem, full of
strength, originality, and beauty. The
other verse of the number is by Ella
Gilbert Ives, Sarah Matthews Handv,
Ulysses Francis Duff, and Charles G.
D. Roberts.
Deafiit83 Cannot Be Oured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken ot.t and this tube restor
ed to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever ; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous sui faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrn) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circular.-, free.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous

non-iir'.tating. Nothing satisfactory can
be accomplished with douches, snuffs,
powders or astringents, because they
are irritating, do not thoroif 'jly reach
the affected surfaces and , .uld be
