who have filled tbo high trust before
him rest in City of tho Silent. Ilois
yet in the Tigor of life, having boen
t he youngest of our Chief Magistrates,
and the country in whose most thrill
ing anuald he in ouc of the great cen
tral figures, will rejoice to see him
long among tho people who have deem
ed their richest gifts his merited offer

the Grant of the future history of the
nation, will present very different por

the passions aud prejudices of men,
and tho grave "covera every defect,
buries every error, extinguishes every
resentment," aud only the attributes
of greatness, whether developed in
gftod or in evil, survive for the criti
cism and example of the generations
which follow. The history of ench of
the three Presidents whose names are
inseparably interwoven with our civil
war, starts in ob3cure birth, and their
advancement was rough-hewn by their
own almost unaided endeavors; and
tho life of Grant presents the anoma

soldier returning lo the obscurity

career that repelled ambitiuu from his

One JaUluul menu, iUr. ii. li. usu

come his prejudice, and a reluctant col
onel's commission made tho iicro of
Appomattox and the ruler who has
stamped more of his individuality up
on the llepublic than any of the long
line of Presidents of the past.
As a soldier he is of his owu school.
Of all the scores of generals who
brightened aud faded during 'four
years of hattle, none rivaled Grant, in
nny measure, in the attributes which
fiually won the costly victory over rc
beilion. And his military career whs
as strangely varied as it was grandly
successful. His first battle was i mis
tuke aud a failure ; his next u victory;
liU next a triumph that called out the
grateful affection of the nation, and
his next a blunder that was esteemed
worso than ft crime. Shilob ended
hi command, and but for a generous
ly trusting President he would have
retired into forgetfuluess. Time soft

crowded upon him, and the recall of

man in all the twenty millions who
battled on his side, who could have
lived in the trust of the nation and
tempered victory with the generosity
that Grant gave to Leo when tho
sword of the iuaurgent leader was sur
rendered. The grtat Captain of tho
age, who. had won his fame on the
field, taught his couutry that peaco
and brotherhood were its priceless
jewels.
The warrior retired from the field
with long disssvercd States reunited
and ha was contcut. Ho had uo love
for the sinuous ways of politics and no
ambition to reach the one crown that
was above him ; but he wns a tempt
ing prize for those who struggled for
power, and not until after three years
of turmoil in the fiercest . passions of
factious Btrife, did he listen to the
whispers of ambition. His resolution
never to exchange his placo at the
head of tho army for the brief and al
ways doubtful honors of the Presiden
cy was shaken as the struggle of 18G8
approached, and not until after the
summary displacement of Stanton by
President Johnson, did he cast his
political fortunes with tho Republi
can party, whose ticket ho had never
publicly supported. Ilis nomination
was a supreme necessity, and his elec
tion inevitable from the day he be
came n candidate. lie accepted the
nomination in the characteristic- brev
ity of ihe soldier, and electrified the
ua'ion by thekey-nuto of the cam
paign : ''Lot us hive peace!" Of his
civil administration exhaustive criti
cism is untimely. Few Presidents
committed more grievous errors; few
so well redeemed them and recalled
the public faith that had faltered. lie
never reached the papular heart as
Chief Magistrate, for he though little
of the multitude iu his administration
of the Government, but ho was con
servative and safe and was sustained
therefor.' Ho stood unmoved when
the Liberal wave of 1872 surged
against him, with the ablest founders
of his party assailing him, and he saw
their lances shivered as they recoiled
before his overwhelming triumph. He
ruled Hi a l uler, not as a servant; ; he
made his own policy and forced obedi
ence to it; ha framed his own laws
when necessity dr nia'.i Jed it and com

Wealth 13 not Happiness.
The first mistake that is made by
most men is in making wealth the ob
ject of thjir lives. But wealth, iu we
know, does not give happiness. Tho
Vanderbilts, the Stewarts and the
Ast'irs have not been our happiest
men. They are not the typical men
in our h:mcs; they arc not typical
men in social life ; they are not the
typical men in the delights of life, or
in the profession of learning, which
perhaps yields the finest joys man can
kuow. We can go down lower still,
and find the men who have only one
million or so, or a half million, and
they do not type tho happiness of
American homes. Go into their houses.
Ilow 'splendid, how gorgeous, how
gaudy they are, and yet they cannot
rival the little homes in the love of a
husband and wife, in the reverence of
children for parents, in the parents'
guardianship over children, in all the
sweet hippiuess that affection spreads
abroad liko a fragrance through the
chambers of our houses. You know
that almost every American gets
wealth who chooses to, though he loos
es it again, perhaps ; but he gets it. It
is no great proof of ability nor cvi- '
deuce of success for a man to get
wealth in this country ami this ago.
Now, then, it seems to us that ii a
young man should picture lo himself
rather a quiet h6use, sunnily placed
on some hillside, with a crotch of
meadow in front, through which courses
a running stream, shaded by pleasant
tres, with a loving wife, a group of
pleasant-faced and virtuous children,
qiiietudo of days and peace fulness of
nights, health and onientmeui of
mind, that would be much better than
to set up a ficticious standard aud
strive incessantly for it as if he thought
thi-t you uiust reach it or be utterly
undone. Murray. 1

"Shoot Him on the Spot."
A fine oil portrait of ex-Governor
Dix, of New York, hai been put up in
the "Governor's Room, City Hall, New
York, and the event has brought the
old warrior again under the conside
rate care of tho interviewers. Ono of
tl.cso has gleaned from him tho follow
ing account of that famous order which,
gave the veteran Son of Mars such a
fame. The General, who alludes to
his exploit with the modesty of a true
hero, gave a number of facis and in
cidents hitherto unpublished. In au
swer to many questions he spoko in
substance as follows :
At the time of my sanding the order
to shoot any man that attempted to
haul down tho American flag, perfect
apathy reigned at Washington. The
authorities looked quietly on and saw
our forts, arsenals aud revenue cutters
stolen without oue wordrH remon
strance. I confess that my blood boil
ed. To take care of the revenue cut
ters was part of my duty as Secretary
of the Treasury, and I determined not
to leave it undone. Hearing that the
Hubert McClelland wa3 in danger of
falling into the hands of the conspira
tors at New Orleans through the
treachery of its commander, Captain
Iireshwood, I dispatched to that city
Mr. W. II. Jones, chief clerk in the
First Comptroller's office, with instruc
tions to Capt. Iireshwood to proceed to
New York without delay. I wanted
to get the vessel in safe quarters. The
Legislature of Louisiana was in ses
sion, contemplating the passing of an
ordinance ot secession. Sevcr.il States
had already seceded, and my efforts to
gel tho specie out of the New Orleans
mint there wero (00,000 there at
the time had been unsucccsiful. The
Director of tho Mint declined to rec
ognize my authority. When Jones
reached tho city he sent mo a dispatch
to the effect that Capt. Ureshwood re
tired positively iu writing to obey my
orders, .and that Ida refusal was by the
advice of ll:t Collector of tho Port. I
immediately left, tho White House,
where I was staying temporarily, went
to my room iu the Treasury building
eat down, and, obeying tho impulse of
the moment, wrote the following an
swer to Jones' dispatch :
"TitEAsuriY Department, )
"January 29, 18G1. J,
"If. Hemphill Jones, Jew Lrleana
"Tell Lieutenant Caldwell fof the
revenue cutter to arrest Capt. Presh-
wood, assume Command ot the cutter,
and obey the order through you. If
Capt. lire.-hwood, after arrest, under
takes to interfere with the command
of tho cutter, tell Lieutenant Caldwell
to consider bin as a mutineer and
treat him accordingly. If any one
attempts to haul down the American
flag, shoot him on the spot.-
"John A. Dix.
"Secretary of tho Treasury."
When I had finished writing this
dispatch, I "thought of taking it over to
the President for his approval. But
remembering his cautiou and pru
dence, especially his paramount desire
that if therti must bo blood shed the
North should not spill tho first drop, I
concluded to act at once on my own
responsibility. I gave tho letter , to
my clerk, who copied it and whom I
sent directly with the copy to tho tel
egraph office. ' The letter itself, as was
my custom with tho originals of pub
lic documents, I thiew into a drawer
rerved for the purpose, lieceiving
no reply from Joues, I feared my dis
patch had been intercepted ; and two
or three days afterward, at tho next
Cabinet meeting, I remarked to Mr.
Buchanan, "I am afraid, Mr. Presi
dent, that we have lost another reve
nue cutter," explaining to him the loss
of the Robert McClelland.
"What did you do about it?" asked
the President. '..
"I R.c:.t word to Janes to have Brcsh
wood arrested, to put Caldwell in com
mand, and, if any one attempted to
haul down Iho American flag, to shoot
him on tiio spot." x
He started, and said, somewhat
sternly, with an air of incredulity,
"Did you write that f"
"No; I telegraphed it," I replied,
lie uever alluded to the matter again,
although I saw him almost constantly
until the 4th of March following.
About, a week afterward Louisiana
seceded. Captain Breshwoud, saying
that ho' acted under tho orders of the
legislature, had meanwhile transferred
the revenuo cutter to tho care of that
body. Wh::i the ordinance of sect'
sion passed be hoisted tho flag id' Lou
isiana in place of tho stars and stripes.
Tho order to Jones, very unexpectedly
to me, leaked out through the persons
who hail intercepted it, and was soon
the subject of re in ark in Washington,
where it was aeorded a variety of re
ceptions. One day at dinner in the
White House, a large number of guests
being present, a niece of tho.President
turned .suddenly to mo with the ques
tion : "Did you issue that order?"
Sho was, I believe, connected by ium -ria;-

ily. At any rate her sympathies were .
strongly with tho South and wero nr
dent iu the extreme. I answered bar
very quietly that 1 did. She straight
ened herself, and with a bearing of
queenly dignity and authority, not de
void of a certain s-pico of purcasm, said,
"What authority had you fordoing it?"
"Oh, Madam," I replied, "it was a sen
timent." Tho President made uo re
mark. E
Some Very Unkind Remarks fibout
the Young Men of tho Period.
There is altogether too much sniti
mentalism abroad now-a-days about
whipping boys. In ancient days boys
were soundly flagged, and they grew
up into the men who laid the founda
tion of the world's civilization. Tha
men who wen our independence we'r)
all whipped at home ami school when
they were boys. Our fellows who went
out to Mexico, and walked through
the hall of the Montezumas had all
been spanked by their mothers, boxed
by their primary teachers, aud flogged
by their fathers and tho teachers of
their youth. Every man on either
side in our civil war had felt the rod,
and there is not a man in the country
over thirty-five who does not remem
ber tho good old days of wholesale
flogging nt school, and foel the better
for the discipline that made him thea
smart. It is ouly theo latter-day
young saints whose spirits cannot en
dure the rod. They are the high-toned
young bucks who sieze a cue as soon
as they can look over a billiard table,
who go into the mint-julep business on
joint speculation with pocket mouey
just sufficient to go halves on ono julep
and two straws, who chow J,obacco s.s
soon as they cut their secoud teeth,
who torture their infant stomachs with
mean cigars, and, as they approach
manhood, go home on Saturday night
into the presence of their mother and
sisters as drunk as fools. They ar tha
6.1 ruo high-spirited follows who, when
they, in tho old age of their youug
ma:-.!;uod, take to themselves wives,
being removed from their rjothers and
sisters, make themselves agraeablo by
frequently going ' ,i0iCJ a"u
making their fa m i 1 i r cTTnvo ,.fi r
the benefit tf the high-toned fellows
with whom they run. It is all stuff
.ami nonsense about breakinir the snirit
&fthe boys. All that has ever been
e itTCStrfciplishad iu t'10 world has been
accomplished by men who wero flogged
when they were boys. What the nw
sentimental training ta to do for tho
world will be -eft for time to reveal,
biit no person of any intelligence cau
regard the tendorly-nurtured aud mildly-disciplined
youth coming up around
us now, and say that he discovers iu
them the elements of a groatness that
is to make the grandeur of the past
appear ' mean and little. Cromwell
and Nelson and Wellington, and all
the heroes of Euglisli and American
historj were vigorously strapped at
schiol, and w hen the attention of their
fond parents was called to tho occur
rence, they lustily ried out to Tutor
Macduff to lay on, and Dk hanged to
him who first cried In Id, euough. Boy
human nature has not changed einco
the days of Solomon, and epoiliug the
youth is as much a consequence now of
sparing the rod as in his day. Half
the boys of this generation would be
