How Grant Impressed His Comrades as a West Point Cadet. “He was a lad without guile,” testifies General Longstreet. ‘‘lnever heard him utter a profane or vulgar word. He was a boy of good native ability, although by no means a hard student. So perfect was his sense of honor that, in the numerous cabals which were often formed, his name was never mentioned, for he never did anything which could be subject for criticism or reproach. He soon became the most daring horseman in the academy.” He had away of solving problems out of rule by the application of good, hard sense, and Rufus Ingalls ends by saying: ‘‘When our school days -were over, if the average opinion of the members of the class had been taken, every one would have said: ‘There is Sam Grant. He is a splendid fellow, a good, hopesyman, against whom nothing can-be said and from whom everything inay'be expected. ’ ” One of the keenest observers in his class, for a year his roommate, perceived more in him than his instructors. “He had the most scrupulous regard for truth. He never held his word light. Ho never said an untruthful word even in jest. ‘‘Ho was a reflective mind and at times very reticent and somber. Something seemed working deep down in his thoughts—things he knew as little about as we. There would be days, even weeks, at a time when he would be silent and somber —not morose. Ho was a cheerful man, and yet he had these moments when he seemed to feel some premonition of a great future—wondering whaf; he was to do and what ho was to become. He was moved by a very sincere motive to join the Dialectic society, which was the only literary society we had. I did not belong, but Grant joined while we were roommates, with the aim to improve in his manner of expressing himself.”—McClure’s.

' As further experiments are carried with the new gas called helium—which 1 was recognized in the sun before it had been found on the earth—the more remarkable it appears. Many chemists believe it consists of two gases, yet they ' have .not..been able _satistactorily to divide it. Professor R;unsay, one of its. discoverers, has failed in every attempt 1 to make it enter into a chemical combination. Lord Rayleigh has found that it 1 possesses by far the lowest refractivity ever observed in any gas, and surprise is expressed at the astonishing distances traversed by electric sparks in darting through helium- !
