reer Badness Management.
The atatement of yeuDg UlyBsea Grant
about the affairs of tbe Arm of which he
was a member exhibits a degree of con
fiding rellance by the Grant fnmily upon
Its managing associate, Ward, which Is
amazing even te n countryman. Green
ness Is supposed te prevail in the coun
try, and peeple who de business in New
Yerk city are reported te be reasonably
sound ; but It scorns that it only takes
ene smart partner te a New Yerk Arm,
and that the avernge shrewdness in the
oencern Is net up te the avorage deemed
requisite for the respectable conduct of a
small business in the country. The
square truth seems te be that New Yerk
is the place where the lambs and wolves
congrcgate and He down together in close
partnerships. The bleating of the lamb
Ulysses, Jr., is pitiful in the true story
that he tells, se that we cannot smlle at
It. astounding as it seems te be that n
man who has been general of our armies
and president of our country, Bheuld
have been se devoid of nil business
sonse, or the sound advice of friends
with business sense, as te com
mit himself and his family nnd nil
their fortunes te the unrestrained care
of a man who solicited them into associ
ation with them. It is net se strange
that young men like Ulysses, who is
new but thirty-one, ami his brothers
should have been taken in by the fair fair
premising scamp, but that Gen. Grant,
with all his friends about him, should
have led them Inte the shambles, is
surprising beyond expression.
Ward wanted the Grant partnership
because of the Grant name nnd Influ
ence, and this much the Grants certainly
knew. That was the chief capital the
general put in the business, and with It I
Ward roped in tue minions 01 raureau
and ether magnates who seem te have
been lus customers. The general cannot
- avoid the heavy responsibility that
attaches te him for lerdirg his reputa
tion te be thus trodden en without see
ing that only fair trading was done.
The article of the agreement of the
partnership were that Ward should de
all the business. The Grants werec.y
used ornamentally, save when they wcis
sent out te get in the cash of their
coos . .. nnd auuts, their wives and
wiv-'a (atherE.thelr friends and ucqualu
tancc3. They did a big busiiu.es among
tliese people and put iu every dollar they
had themselves or could rake up en
their individual amount. They thought
they were makiutr piles of money.
Ward told them se. Yeung Ulysses
thought he was worth $1,700,000. Won
der will never cease, that men in busi
ness could be sj rashly cenilding, simpie
nnd iguerant. They had never heard, it
Baeins, even of the familiar precept
which ferdidsthe putting of all their
eggs Inte one basket ; and that a basket
that hung en another's arm. Well, the
family has our sympathy. Perhaps the
government had better put them In the
army. Evidently they will net else
where be sure of their bread nnd butter,
except, perhapj, Jesse, who is net mar
ricd yet and has that chance of specula
tien open te him. The old Ulysses it is
proposed te put en the retired list as a
general with tin inceme of $20,000 or se ;
hut as he gets seme $15,000 per aunum
from the $250,000 salted down for him,
we iucllne te think that the general
hlmfelf has enough.

Only figure neurit,
Ulysses S. Grant, jr., makes the follow
ing statomeut concerning the elTect of the
rcrent failure ou the Grant family :
"The Grant family has lest its ontire
fortune ; the ruin is complete Net only
have I and tny father and two brothers
put every cent we possessed lute the llrni,
but we invested large sumi which we bor
rowed from our lrlends, supposing that
overythlug was going nieng splendidly aud
that we wero nniasslug n great fortuue. 1
tlrst put the $17,C00 yearly Income en my
wife'M fertune lute the conceru aud thou I
put the principal in witli it. My father
in law loses 300,000 which I borrowed
from him.
" I knew very little about the atfalrs of
the establishment. In fact, the articles of
agreement of the linn provided that Mr.
Werd Bheuld draw all the checks and
transact all the buiiuess, Mr. Ward iu
sisted that the business management
should be left solely te him. I had the
greatest coulidenco in him aud I consider
him te be a very nble man. When he
tlrst proposed the partnership te me I
knew that he was making plenty of
meney, and I said : " Oh, you don't want
te attach yourself te a slew coaeh llkn
me.' He proposed the thiug n ceuple of
times befere 1 agreed.
" ldid net, uer did my father or broth
ers have the faintest idea that anything
was wrong. Up te the time of the failure
1 bMieved that I was worth 1,700, 000. I
held the bmk'a notes for upward of 31,
000,000. Why, I have Old my friends of
our fertuun within a few days, little
dreaming of the real state of aflalrs. Then
came the crai'.i My father came down te
the oulce en the day of the failure, and as
be walked across the tloer toward me, I
said : " Father, everything is burstcdaud
wc cannot get a ceut out of the oon eon oen
cern." That was the very first lutlniatlen
tha' he had that thore was the slightest
trouble. My brother Fied had borrowed
largely from his friends, nud my brother
Jesss put some borrowed mouey iutj the
11 rm ou the day previous te the failure.
" Sj contident were we nil that Graut
&, Ward were makiug piles of money that
we invested everything we could get. I
only drew out money against my own
account, but I kept puttiug in almost as
much, aud tae only real funds which I
retailed were about sufficient for our liv
ing expenses Neuo of us liked te keep a
dollar out ct the ilrtn that was net abso
lutely needed, because we thought that
we wero losing when we kept meney that
might be earning a very heavy profit.
Saveral times recently wheu I went te
friends aud asked thorn for leans en the
proraise of enormous interest they declar
ed that such a transictien would Je
usurieui. I neer asked for these loins
again.
l e show you hew little I knew about
theada-rd of the firm, I said when the
Marine bauk failed that it would simply
jroveet us for a time from giviug certain
checks KoeC-n our family had any
idea that the lirm had eiTuriirn its an-
ceuutd. When I secured loins upon the
bends which had becu given as collateral
for leans from our tlrm I did net knew
that the bends wero being rehypethecated.
Of course it is quite apparent that the
immense profits credited te members of
the lirm were fictitious The whele
matter will be cleared up, I suppose, in
th courts."

eusly welcomed the nudionce, nfter which
he touched with singular apprepriatucss en
the love of the beautiful ns it is implanted
iu man. The world is full of beauty, the
heavens bIiew it forth iu endless variety.
Rut the love of the beautiful is ehielly

heart. Nature in her beauty rellects the
beantv of the Creater, olevatiug the soul
aud ministcnug te the formation of better
ideals. The lutluouce of the beautiful iu
literature nnd musle were gracefully
alluded te, after which the young orator
paid a glowing tribute te the beautiful in

it bere iu its sad Eequel te the lile of the
