IVy’S MISTAKE.

A Story of ThsnkaglTlng.

BY ROSE RAYNESFORD.

Thanksgiving eve in the old Sunderland homestead, and from cellar to garret floated delicious odors of roasting turkey, of chickens done to a tender crisp in their own rich juices, and of a goodly array of pies of all denominations —such pies, teeming with all the odors of Araby the blest, as had won dear, motherly Mrs. Sunderland an enviable reputation through all the region round about. And flitting busily at her mother’s side, in the great, clean, shining kitchen, with light feet and the very daintiest, deftest little hands in all the world, was the blooming Ivy—“sole daughter of her house and heart.” Over her crimson merino was tied a large white apron—her “seven-league apron,” Ivy called it—-which was only assumed when some mighty and important household festivity seemed to command a corresponding magnitude in all the preparations; sleeves were rolled above the dimpled elbows, a stray dab of flour powdered the shining tendrils of chestnut hair above the forehead, and the usual tender pink of the cheeks had blossomed into vivid carnation. “ There, mother,” she said, placing a gigantic plum cake on the table with a triumphant flourish, “that’s the last! The baking is done, thank goodness, and now I’ll attack the parlor.” “ I wouldn’t to-night, dear,” said Mrs. Hunderland. “ You’ll tire yourself out. There’ll be plenty of time in the morning.” “ Oh, no, mother. I promised to be at church early, to practice the new anti icru. They all declare they can’t get along without me. And I thought if I could snatch an hour sometime between no w and then that I’d finish off my blue silk—it only needs a stitch or two. Julia Hunt said she might be over after dinner, and bring her cousin with her. She’s from the city, you know, and so stylish. And then,” she added, with a rather over-done attempt at carelessness, “ it’s possible Joe Dalton may be here in the evening.” “Il’m! Joe Dalton,” said Mrs. Sunderland, a little surprised, but too much absorbed in her contemplation of the cake to pay strict attention to less important matters. “ And when did you hear from him?” “Oh, not since ho left in the summer. But lie told me then that he intended to puss Thanksgiving at the ’Squire’s, and that if he did he’d give us a call. But really I must begin at the parlor.” And into the parlor she went, a curiously -happy light on her face, while she dusted the quaint old spindlelegged piano, and polished tho mirror between the windows, und rubbed tho brass tire-dogs till they shone again. Then she Brought out long wreaths of fragrant ground pine, and knots of scarlet leaves and garlanded the old family portraits, and tilled vases and baskets, till tho old room was sweet and glowing as the bower of a forest queen. Perhaps it was all to please Julia Hunt and her city cousin, but / know that all the while before Ivy’s happy eyes were floating memories of Joe Dalton’s admiring looks when one day lust summer she decorated the room with wild clematis vines, and still in her ears were ringing his praises of what ho called her “exquisite artistic instincts.”

•“There! I think he’ll like that,” she said, as she got down from the chair on which she had mounted in pursuing her labor of love, and shook off the last clinging sprays from hair and dress; and she began setting the furniture in order as energetically as though her feet were not aching, her hands blistered, and every muscle in her body strained and weary. Just then tho whistle of the evening train was heard, and away went the tired feet, twinkling up three flights of stairs to the attic, where, throwing her skirts about her shoulders, Ivy coddled down in tho window commanding a view of the turn in the road by which the ’Squire’s open wagon must pass on its way homo from the depot. Yes, sure enough, there came the tvagon behind the pair of high-stepping bays. Ivy could distinguish the ’Squire’s portly figure on the front seat, beside the coachman, and behind was a slenderer form that Ivy’s beating heart told her was Joe. But a little half-jealous pang shot through that same heart ns she saw that a ladv, evidently young, sat beside him, and marked the devoted air with which he leaned toward her, one arm extended behind her on the back of the seat, the other pointing hero and there, as though drawing her attention to the different beauties of the landscape. “Somo cousin, I suppose,” she said to herself, as she went slowly down the stairs to her own room. The apron must be removed, the silky braids smoothed with extra care, and the plain linen collar replaced with frills of dainty lace. Then from its little sandalwood box Ivy drew forth a slender chain and locket, tho sole ornament she possessed, and settled it among the frills with a satisfied smile. Tender brown eyes, crimson lips, a low white forehead framed in silken curls—it certainly was a pretty picture that looked back at her from the glass. In spite of fatigue, Ivy was looking her prettiest, and kuew it, und was so glad, for who could tell but what he might come over that very night? However, she said nothing to her mother of any such Expectation. But as soon as tea was over, with some strip of fancy work, she drew her own little rocker before the wood fire on the sit-ting-room hearth, and while her swift fingers evolved the mysteries of satin stitch, point, and wheels, her happy thoughts went straying over all that brief, bright month when Joe Dalton had spent his summer vacation in Redleaf, aud every -spare moment of it in close vicinity to the Sunderland farmhouse. Joe, be it known, was the ’Squire’s step-son. Only the year before the Squire had married a dashing, though elderly, widow from the city, with two grown-up sons. One of them Ivy had never seen, but Joe had been in the habit of paying frequent flying visits from the city, where he resided, and, as report said, was amassing a fortune fairly fabulous for so young a man. Of course he was an object of eager curiosity to all the Redleaf belles, and, on Sundays, when he walked slowly up the aisle by his mother’s side and took his place in the ’Squire’s great, square pew, many a pair of bright eyes turned to gaze on his tall, graceful figure, brown, curly head, and dark eyes full of lurking diablerie.

But when summer came, and ho spent a whole month at the Squire’s, he had singled out Ivy from the whole bevy of rustic beauties, and devoted himself to her with a persistence that soon set every gossip’s tongue in motion. Many were the invidious remarks from the other fair damsels as to the flirting propensities of “these city fellows,” uv , roache<i Iv .?’ s ears' but, too blindly happy to listen or to care, the innocent child “took the gifts the gods provided,” and left the future to take care of itself. And what a delightful month it was! How they had picnicked and frolicked together through the long summer days, and strolled through dewy lanes in the dreamy twilight, and rowed on moonlit mghts down the shining river! And then that last eoen§ <?f all! Iyy’g

cheeks glowed at the remembrance of it. She had gone down the garden path with him to the little gate, and there, under the shadow of the elms, and hidden from the house by a clump of syringn bushes, they had somehow found saying good-by a very lingering transaction indeed. Ivy remembered how he had held her hand in his tight clasp till all the warm blood came billowing up over cheek and brow and hei eyes fell beneath his ardent gaze. Then, almost before she knew it, an arm had stolen around her waist, a pair of warm lips were pressed closely, lingeringly on her own. - “Good-by till Thanksgiving,” he laughed, and was off before she could chide him. He hadn’t told her in just so many words that he loved her, but how could she doubt it? Hadn’t every look and act declared it over and over during that happy vacation time ? And then, if he didn’t love her, why that last tender caress speaking volumes to her answering heart? Innocent little Ivy! But while she pondered these things, 8, 9 o’clock chimed from the eight-day clock in the corner, and, with a little sigh, she laid aside her “company work” and took out the bine silk for its finishing touches. Of course, she said to herself, she had no right to expect him that evening. He came home so seldom she was very foolish to think he could come to her the very night of his arrival, when the whole family would be wanting him to themselves. But he would surely be here to-morrow—Thanksgiv-ing day. So she stitched away, picturing to herself the wide family room at the ’Squire’s, all the household gathered about the blazing wood fire, Joe in the midst of them, the stranger cousin at his side, perhaps. Again she sighed—she was just beginning to know that she was tired—and, folding tho completed dress, went wearily to her room, where she was soon tossing in troubled dreams wherein it seemed that she and Joe again stood beneath the old elm at the gate, and just as he was stooping to kiss her the unknown cousin appeared in the guise of a winged evil spirit, and, snatching Joo in her long arms, bore him away through the air, leaving her alone and sobbing with terror. But at last the morning came— Thanksgiving morning—with floods of golden sunlight, and air so crisp and bracing that it made one’s blood tingle just to breathe it. Ivy looked from her window with bounding heart and thrilling pulses. In the glad light doubt and misgiving fled away as if by enchantment. Earth was beautiful. It was a joy even to live. She made haste to finish her light morning tasks, and then daintily arrayed herself for church. She was to walk. It was only a mile, and the choir had arranged to come early and practice their anthem once more before service began. With a light step she tripped down the narrow path. But at the little gate she stopped suddenly, trj ing to check a frown; for there, under the elm, behind the leafless syringa bushes, stood Alvira Simms, the village dressmaker, evidently lying in wait to walk to the church with her, and Miss Simms was one of Ivy’s pet aversions. Many’s the time she and Joe had amused themselves at the expense of those corkscrew curls and affected ways, and tones of vinegar sourness. “ Good-morning,” simpered Miss Alvira. “ I thought likely you’d be coming along, so I walked slow on purpose to see if I couldn’t have the pleasure of your company to church. It’s a beautiful morning.” “ Beautiful,” said Ivy, briefly, and she looked curiously at Miss Simms, as if to divine the cause of this sudden desire for her society, for they were usually as distant as the poles. She fancied an unusually malicious twinkle lurking in the seamstress’ snaky black eyes. “ I supposo you’ve heard tho news? ” with a sharp side-glance and an air of immense importance. “ News? No, I’ve heard no news worth mentioning,” returned Ivy, in her most indifferent tones. “ Well. I don’t know as you’ll consider this worth mentioning,” retorted Alvira, bridling up. “ It’s about Mr. Dalton—Joe Dalton, you know. But you used to be so very intimate with him that I thought perhaps it might interest you to know.” She paused and looked Ivy full in the face. “ He's married /” she said, and there was a hateful, cruel light on her mean face as she watched the effect of her words. “ Married ! ” echoed Ivy, with wide, startled eyes. “ I don’t believe it!” she added, bluntly, in her bewilderment forgetting lier politeness. “Oh, very well,” sniffed Miss Alvira, her nose in the air as she turned to go. “Excuse me,” stammered Ivy, putting out her hand to detain her, “I—l thought you must have been misinformed. How did you hear? ” “Oh,” said Miss Simms, softening, only too glad of the chance to go over the details. “ I didn’t hear at all—l saw! I was up at the ’Squire’s when he brought her home. The sewing-room door was open, and I saw them come into the hall together. Then his mother and the ’Squire ran out, and I heard him introduce her as their new daughter. Then, in the middle of the laughing, and kissing, and handshaking, some one closed the door to prevent the dressmaker from witnessing their family joys, I suppose.” Poor Ivy! She turned faint and sick as the fatal truth forced itself upon her. Her face grew white as death, and there was a stony look of misery in the soft eye that would have melted a less cruel heart than that of the woman beside her. But in the midst of her misery pride came to her aid. One thiDg she was resolved upon—no one should ever suspect her anguish; no one should ever say that she wore the willow for gay Joe Dalton. How she accomplished the rest of the distance to church she never knew. She had a confused remembrance that she turned the subject with some commonplacer emarks—that she discussed the weather, the fall styles, the new minister, with now and then a laugh or careless jest, in much her usual fashion, till they parted at the church door, and Ivy mechanically ascended the gallery stairs and took her place among the “singers’ seats.”

“Why, Ivy Sunderland!” chorused the girls; “what is the matter? You’re as white as a sheet, and your eyes—why, girls, just look at her eyes! ” “ There, girls,” said Ivy, with a faint smile, “please don’t talk to me; I’ve got a horrible headache.” Which was true enough, but heartache would have been truer. So the kind-hearted creatures bustled about and brought her a glass of water and a battered old palm-leaf fan from a dusty closet, and mercifully left her at peace. But for once the soaring soprano was silent, and the anthem obliged to pursue its winding way without her aid, whilqjhe sat on one side idly watching the congregation drifting in, one by one, with their shining holiday faces. By-and-by came a firm, light tread up the aisle, and Ivy closed her eyes with a sickening shudder. When she opened them again Joe Dalton stood at the head of their pew, ushering in a tiny, elegant creature in rustling, purple (jilks, a cloud of fluffy blppde hair

above a childish face, and eyes like great soft violets. He faced the choir for an instant, and, as his eyes met Ivy’s, the whole face lit up with a gleam of dark eyes and a flash of dazzling teeth beneath his brown mustache. Bnt the smile faded to a look of halfindignant surprise as Ivy looked straight on and beyond him without the slightest sign of recognition, and he settled himself with that impatient shake of the broad shoulders which Ivy knew so well. Long after service she lingered in the gallery to avoid ail chance of meeting him, and then slowly made her way home, a curious numb feeling at her heart, a strange blur and chill over the sunny autumn landscape and in the crisp, golden air. But when she reached home she was even more gay and cordial than usual in her greetings of the numerous aunts, uncles, and young fry of cousins who had assembled there during the morning ; and all that afternoon her laugh was the loudest, her jest the wildest among all that hilarious group. A bright spot burned on either cheek, and there was a feverish light in her eyes; but no one knew that her Hands And feet were like ice, that the wild gayety came from an excitement that just escaped delirium. And when Julia Hunt and her cousin called they found her radiant in the blue silk, and ready to discuss “ the news,” which, thanks to Miss Simms, was at present briskly circulating from one end of Redleaf to the other; praising the bride, too, in such glowing terms that the two girls, watching her narrowly, snatched a moment aside to whisper that there “ was nothing in that flirtation of hers with Mr. Dalton, after all—she didn’t show a bit jealous.” So through the long twilight they sat in the firelight, cracking nuts and jokes indiscriminately, pounding their thumbs and screaming with alternate pain and laughter, and chattering through it all like a convocation of hilarious magpies. Then, as the young moon looked in at the western windows, Miss Hunt declared, jumping up, that they mu3t go; there was to be a dance a mile away, at which they were due in an hour, and a pair of “ somebodies” no doubt waiting impatiently at the paternal mansion at this very moment for their return. So Ivy, throwing her scarlet cloak around her shoulders and pulling the hood over her curls—a lovely, growu-up Red Riding Hood—ran down to the gate with them to see them off, in sociable country fashion, aud after a shower of girl-kisses on both sides stood watching them as they tripped up the road in the weird mingling of twilight and moonlight which hung over the world. Standing on one side, peering up the road with intent eyes, absorbed in her own thoughts, she did not hear the footstep that stole softly along the grass bordering of the roadside walk. The next moment a strong arm clasped her, a pair of daring lips snatched a kiss. “Watchingfor me, Ivy?” cried Joe Dalton, triumphantly. “ Mr. Dalton! How dare you ! Let me go, sir!” exclaimed Ivy, breaking away from him with blazing eyes and face shining white with anger in the faint light. “Wliewl” ejaculated Joe, stepping back a pace. “It seems to me that you have changed mightily in three short months. Have you forgotten ” “I have forgotten nothing, sir,” burst out Ivy, in tones of suppressed passion. “It is you who have forgotten—forgotten, among other things, the respect which every gentleman owes to a lady.” “Ivy—Miss Sunderland, what is the meaniug of this? W 7 hat has happened that should break off our friendship?* “What has happened, indeed !” echoed Ivy, scornfully. “Mr. Dalton, have you so low an opinion of me, are you such a libertine yourself, as to suppose that to me marriage is no impediment to such liberties as you have just insulted me by taking?” “Married!” cried Joe. “So you are married, Ivy. And I to know nothing about it! Why did no one tell me? Oh! Ivy, Ivy, how could ” “What are you saying, Mr. Dalton? lam not married; it is you—you!” Here she broke down, her overwrought mood gave way, and she burst into hysterical sobs. “Ivy, Ivy!” cried Joe, “I am not married. Who ever told you so?” and he caught the shuddering, trembling form in his arms, aud drew the head down on his bosom. “So that is the meaning of all this, you]’ averted look this morning, and all. I thought afterward that perhaps you did not see me. Now, who told you such an absurd story ? I insist upon knowing.” “Miss—Miss Simms,” faltered Ivy,as the sobs died away. “Alvira! Well, I declare! And you believed her?” “ She—she said that she saw her last night—that you introduced her to your mother as her new daughter; and then you were at church with her this morning.” “Oh, that meddlesome old maid!” ejaculated Joe; “to think she should have made you suffer all this, my little clinging vine. Never mind, love, we’ll cut her acquaintance when we’re married.” “ But, Joe,” said Ivy, affecting not to hear the last remark, “who is the lady? Your cousin? Do you know, I believe I’m half jealous of her?” “ Jealous! well, you won’t be so long. That lady is my mother’s new daughter, Ivy. She is my brother Dick’s lovely little wife, whom my mother had never seen before. They arrived in New York last night from New Orleans, and as Dick could not come out till the midnight train, and Edith was anxious to get home as soon as possible, I acted as her most dutiful escort.” And Ivy, though she began her Thanksgiving rather late in the day, made up in intensity what was lacking in length of time.

GRANT.

His Heeeptton by tne People of Chicago. The reception of Gen. Grant by the citizen* of Chicago, to which many days of preparation had been devoted, waa everything that the most devoted admirer of the ex-President con'd have desired or asked for. The people of the city turned out by the hundreds of thousands and were reinforced by hundreds of thousands from abroad, so that there wac no lacking in numbers; of enthusiasm there was also an abundance, and the procession was the largest, the finest, and the beet gotten-up affair of the kind perhaps ever witnessed in the West From the Chicago papers we condense the following account of the reoeption exercises: The train bearing the distinguished visitor, which came over the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road from Galena, arrived at Park row, on the lake front, at 1 o’clock p. m. The rain began to pour down, bnt the thousands of people who thronged the Lake park and all the adjacent streets did not seem to heed it in the least, but pressed forward to get as near as possible to Gen. Grant’s carriage. In spite of the disagreeable weather, the decorations’ the gay uniforms of the militia, the thousands of wagons carrying flags and mottoes, and the smoke from booming batteries on the lake front, presented a scene at once beautiful and grand. Haste was made to set the huge procession in motion. The rain pouring down in torrents made this a matter of great difficulty, but finally the column began to move down Michigan avenue, which was crowded with moist spectators from one end to the other, as far as tho line of march extended. By-and-by the sky cleared, the sun came out and made everything infinitely brighter. The militia led, followed by all the veteran organizations; then came the civic societies with a largo number of carriages, and fiDa'ly the fire department, with thousands of vehicles of every description, with all sorts of mottoes. The head of the column had reached a long distance down town before the wagoDS had fallen into line. The pobce had great difficulty in clearing the way. Grant was everywhere greeted with the vociferous cheering. As the procession moved down town toward Washington, State and Lake streets, the jam of human beings became, if possible, greater than ever. By 2 o’clock the head of the procession passed the corner of Washington street and Fifth avenue. The sky was now perfectly clear, and the streets along which the parade passed were literally impassable. Every available inch of standing room on sidewalks and steps was occupied, and every window had its spectators. The South Sid", in the neighborhood of the Palmer House, was the destination of visitors and residents alike. From early morning until noon, from all sections of the city, there was a rush to the section named. At noon, on State street, from Lake street up to Harrison, there was a perfect jam. Once mthe crowd, it was an utter impossibility to advance or recede Not only was the street packed, but the windows were black with human heads. This crowd was not confined to State street, but all along the line of the procession the sireets were densely packed, while every window, every roof, every housetop was crowded by spectators to its very utmost The procession, aaseen from State and Washington street, was grand and imposing b3yond description. As far as the eye could reach flags fluttered to the breeze from every window and point of vantage. The fronts draped in bunting—the red, white and blug—showed that thq city had put on holiday attire. The sidewalks and streets were blocked with people, orowded so closely together that passage was impossible—a vast multitude, in which the movement of individuals was scarcely perceptible—a closely-packecLthrong, which was hardly stirred at the approach of the riders, and which constantly threatened to verge upon and precipitate itself upon the procession. Standing for hours, many of them in the mud and water that had collected from the rain, every head was turned and every neck was craned forward, as the head of the grand army made its appearance as it moved north from Washington street A cry went up from the throng in the street that was echoed from the windows and porches, also black with peoEle —cheers that drowned the music of the ands, the trampling of the horses and ihe tread of the rapidly-marching host—voices that were hoarse with long waiting and standing ir the water and mud, and that rose and swelled in volume as tho contagious enthusiasm spread instantaneously through the throng. As the carriage in which Gen. Grant sat, facing Hon. Thos. Hoyne and Mayor Harrison, made i*s appearance, drawn by six horses and guarded by a platoon of police on each side, the vast multitude broke into a cheer that extended all along the street, in a universal, hoarse, deep-throated, shout of welcome. As the shout went up all along the long route, Gen. Grant raised his tall silk hat, and, bowing silently, kept his head uncovered for a few minutes. As soon as he had replaced it, another shout would again cause him to repeat the operation. He wore a heavy black overcoat, with nothing about him to indicate his distinguished position as the guest of the city. A clear, ruddy color in the face, the beard but Blightly grizzled, the hair hardly tinged with gray, tho face without a wrmkle or furrow perceptible from the street, Gen. Grant looked in the very prime of manhood and vigor. On the arrival of the long procession at the Palmer House, the General was met by the Reception Commi'tee of 500 prominent citizens of Chicago, and Carter H. Harrison, Mayor, made a speech of welcome. Alter the conclusion of Mayor Harrison’s short welcoming address, Gen. Grant stepped to the front of the balcony, aud, in a low voice, unhe trd by a large majority of the large crowd, spoke as follows: Mr. Mayor, and Gentlemen of the Committee of the Chicago Reception, and Gentlemen of Chicago and of Illinois: I feel very much honored by the welcome which lam receiving at your hands to-day. I feel highly honored by the speech of welcome that has just been uttered by your worthy Mayor. It is something so personal to myself that it would hardly be iu good taste for me to respond to the language of it, and it leaves, therefore, nothing further for me to do than to repeat my thauks to this committee and to the citizens of this ci'y for the hearty reception which they have given me. In regard to one allusion to my reception abroad, I will say that in every case I felt that, it was a tribute to our own country. I will add, further, that our country stands differently abroad, in the estimation of Europeans and the Eastern nations, from what it did a quarter of a century ago. An American citizen is regarded in a different light from an American citizen of one-quarter of a century ago. At that time it was believed that we had not a nation—that we were a mere confederation of States, tied together by a rope of sand that would give way upon the slightest friction. They have found out their grand mistako. They know that we have now a Government, that we are a nation, and that we are a strong, intelligent and brave people, capable of judging, and knowing our rights, and determined on all occasions to maintain them against either domestic or foreign foes. That is the explanation of the reoeption which you have received, through me, while abroad. Gentlemen, I thank you. The remarks were received with loud and long-continued applause. After a short informal reception and a shrke of the hand with a few personal fr ends, the General was driven to the residence of OoL Fred Grant, where ho took dinner with a family party. In the evening, a brilliant recection was ten ■ dered to Gen. Grant by the Army of the Tennessee, headed by Gen. Sherman, at Haverly’s Theater. The theater was magnificently decorated. The exercises were opened by prayer by Rev. Dr. Thomas, followed by Hon. E B. Washburne, who delivered the main address of welcome. Speeches of welcome were also delivered by Gov. Cullom and Mayor Harrison. Gen. Sherman then delivered an address in response, in behalf of the Army of the Tennessee, after which Gen. Gresham delivered the annual address of the society. A flag was presented to the society by Gen. Logan, on behalf of the Citizens’ Committee. Gen. Sherman responded in a brief speech, and introduced Gen. Grant, who spoke as follows:

Comrades of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee: After an absence of several years from the gatherings of the Sbcietv of the Army of the Tennessee, it affords me heartfelt pleasure to again see you, my earliest comrades in arms in the great conflict of nationality and the union of the States under one free and alwa s-to-be maintained Government. In my long absence from the country I have bad the most favorable opportunities for seeing and comparing in my own mind our institutions and those of all the European countries, and most of those of Asia, and comparing our resources and their development, and the capacity and energy of our people for upholding toe Government and developing its resources, with most of the civilized peoples of the world everywhere, from England to Japan, and from Russia to Spain and Portugal. We are everywhere understood; our resources are highly appreciated, and the skill and energy and intelligence of the citizen recognized. My receptions have been your receptions. They have been everywhere a kind of an acknowledgement that the United States is a nation, a strong, independent and free nation, composed of strong,* brave and intelligent people, capable of judging of their rights, and ready to maintain them at all hazards, This is a non-partisan association, but composed of men who are united in the determination that no foe, domestic or foreign, ahafi interfere between ns and the maintenance of our grand, free, and enlightened institutions and toe unity of all toe States. The area of our oountry, its fertility, and the energy and resources of our people, with the sparsity of population oompared to area, postpone the dap

for generations to come when onr descendants will nave to consider the question how the soil is to support them and how the most can be produced for the support of human life, without reference to the taste ordeeire of the people, or when but a few can exorcise the privilege of the plain luxury of selecting the articles of food they are to eat or the quality and quantity of clothing they are to wear, bat will remain the abundant home of all who poesess the energy and strength to make good use of hem, if we only remain true to ourselves. Such a country is one to be proud Of. lam proud of it—proud that i am an American citizen. Every citizen, North and South, East and West, enjoys a common heritage, and should feel an honorable pride in it I am glad theee society meetings keep up their interest so long after the events and scenes which they commemorate have passed away. They do not serve to keep up sectional feeling or bitterness toward onr late foe, bnt they do keep np the feeling that we are a nation, and that it must be preserved one and indivisible. We feel the kindest for those who fought and fought bravely on the opposite side from us. They equally claim with ourselves the blessings of our great common country. We claim fo.* them the right to travel all over this broad land, to locate where they please, and the right to settle and become citizens and ODjoy their political and religious oonvictions free from molestation or ostrreism, either on account of this, or their connection with the past We ask nothing more for ourselves, and we rejoice to see them become powerful rivals in the development of onr great resources in the acquisition or all that should be desirable in this life, and in patriotism and love of country. Other speech-making of a light nature was indulged by Gov. Oglesby, Gen. Sheridan and Gen. Schofield, after which the great humorist. Mark Twain, was called upon, and perpetrated the following: Ladies and Gentlemen: I just within a moment heard Gen. Sherman sty to a gentleman sitting in my neighborhood that, if he would promise not to speak more than two minutes, he would let him get np. He didn’t say that to me, and I judge, by his remarks to' me, that be wouldn’t allow me quite so much. [Laughter. and a voice, “Louder.”] But—is that loud enough [laughter]—l have not listened to a bad speech to-night, and I don’t propose to be the one to furnish you with one; and I would, if I had time and permission, go on and make an excellen t speech. [More lan ghter.] Bnt I never was happy, never could make a good impromptu speech without several hours to prepare it. [Roam] On the following day, the ex-President was present at McVicker’s Theater at the meoting of ol i soldiers from all armies, at which Gi n. Chetlain presided. Speecheo were made by Corporal Brownell, the avenger of Ellsworth; Gen. Logan, Wm. Hendersliott, Emory A. fctorrs, Gen. Fuller, Gov. Oglesby, and Gen. Woodford. Gen. Grant spoke as follows. Comkades and Friends of the Late War; 1 was entirely unaware of the object of my coming here this morning. I thought it was to see the place whore you were to meet this evening or some other fime. I was not aware that I was going to meet so many of my old comrades, but I assure you it affords me very great pleasure to meet you here, and to meet you everywhere. Yeteraus of the late war to me are companions, and in all my travels I have been in hardly a country, in hardly a town, and hardly a place in the two and a half years that 1 have been away from my own country that I have not met some of your number. As we heard last night, wars, while not desirable, are not perhaps unattended with good. We believe sincerely that the war which we waged has been attended with solid good to onr country. We believe that our victory redounded to the benefit of tho vanquished as well as to ourselves. We believe that they would have been iu a very much worse condition than they are now had tlieir cause succeeded, and we certainly would have bean infinitely worse off. But wars render another benefit. People who grow up in a time of profound peace are very much accustomed to vegetate and live along in or noar the place of their birth; but having been torn away from their homes, as all of you were, they got weaned from their homes, and at the close they seek the best place for the development of their energy and their talents, and in that way the veterans of our war are scattered over all of this broad land, and are now developing our Territories, building railioads, opening mines, opening farms, cultivating the soil over a vast territory which can be made, and is being made, available for the support of man. They have scattered, aud are building homes in foreign lands, and opening in that way the commerce of our country; they are making our country felt, and known) and appreciated wherever a flag oan float. Now, gentlemen, I have said a great deal more than I had any idea I should say when I came here. And, as Mark Twain very aptly remarked last night, 1 could make a very much better extemporaneous speech if I had a couple of hours to prepare it in. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm with which all these speeches were received by the crowd of veterans that filled McYkker’s spacious theater; but suffice it to say the roof was not lifted sufficiently to endanger the budding, though there was some very loud •’leering. in the evening took place the banquet of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, at the Palmer House. No finer sigut was ever soon in Chicago than the banquet hall, with its decorations, and its long tables, occupied by near 700 gentlemen. At about 8 o’c’ock the exercises commenced with prayer by Prof. David Swung, after which the fine supper was partaken of, and toasts were given and responded to as follows: The first toa“t, “Onr Country,” was responded to by Gen Grant, as follows:

Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee and Guests: Notice was sent to me some days ago that I was to respond to a toast here, but I paid no attention to it at ihe time, and had no idea, until I got here, of the toast I was to reply to. I had relied upon it that there wou’d be half a dozen or more speakers before I would be called upon and that, during, that time, there would be a mau out in the hall I would want to see, or thought I would exert some other flank movement by which I would got out of it. Finding, however, after my arrival here, that I was to be the first one called upon, and hardly feeling it would be proper to look for that man so early in the evening, I put in a substitute, but the President of your society has not called upon the man. I know if he had called the name on his paper you would have heard much more said about the position of our country among the nations of the earth than I can say to you. I can feel what the Mayor [Harrison] would probably have said if the President had called upon him. But, aB I have to say a word, I shall rely now upon your signifying, in a very few moments, your disapprobation of. what I am saying, so as to let me off. The President ha 8 given notioe that we are not to speak any longer than we can hold the audience. Our nation we have been in the habit ourselves of looking upon as being one of the first nations of the earth. For a long period back the Yankee has had not only a very respectable opinion of himself individually, but ot his country as a whole. It has been our own opinion that we had nothing to fear in a contest with any other power. I am pleased to say that, from the observations that I have been able to make in the last two and a half years, we are beginning to be regarded a little by other powers as we in our vanity have heretofore regarded ourselves. We do, among other nations, I think, to-day, not only in our own conceit, but in the acknowledgment of other nations, occupy the position of one of the first powers in all that goes to make, up a great nationality. We have the strength, we have the individual self-assertion, independence; and we have to a greater degree than almost any other nation the power of colonizing, of sottling up new country, opening it and developing it. We have also the very great advantage of being without neighbors to molest and make us afraid. It is true we have a northern frontier, and we have a southern frontier, but we get along with a very small army. We keep no standing army. What little we do keep, as some one remarked the other day, is a standing army because it has no time to sit down. Mr. President [who was seated], I find you filling the position with a good deal of ability. [Laughter J I don’t know of anything I can specially add to what I have said, except in the way of advice; and that is, let us be tcue to ourselves; avoid all bitterness and ill-feeling, either on the part of sections or parties toward each other; avoid quarreling among ourselves, and we need have no fears for the future of maintaining the stand that we hare taken among nations, so far as opposition from foreign nations goes. Gentlemen, I am much obliged for your attention. Gen. Logan responded to the toast “The President and Congress;” Gen. Hurlbut to “The Atmy of the Tenressee;” CoL Vilas to “Our First Commander;” Admiral Stevens to “The Navy;” Hon. Leonard Swott to “The Mexican War;” GeD. Wilson to “The Army of the (,’umberland;” Gen. Pope to “All Other Union Armies;” Robert G. Ingersoll to “ The Volunteer Soldiers;” Emory A. Storrs to “ The Patriotic People;” Gen. Fletcher to “ Woman;” “Mark Twain” to “The Babies;” Gen. Woodford to the “Army of the Potomac;” and Gen. Scboftv Id to “The Army.” After the regular toasts a large number of regrets were read from prominent men in all parts of the country who had beeu invited to be present. A very enjoyable occasion it proved to be to the large number of old soldiers present, while tne speeches were models of after-dinner rhetoric —short, sharp and eloquent Prevent crooked boots and blistered heels by wearing Lyon’s Heel Stiffeners.

Consumption Cures.

American Co-Operative Manufacturing Co. : Gentlemen ;—ln reply to the many Inquiries concerning the working of the ’'Walker Heat multiplier, we would say; Our Dun are using a Heat Multiplier on a coal stove made by the Chicago and Erie Btove Company, known at their “ Invincible,” No. 16. In the winter of 1878-79 we heated onr store. No. 49 State street (110 feet deep, 24 feet wide, and 16 feet h gh), burning only five (6) ton* of hard ooal (Lackawanna); the previou* winter we did not have a Heat Multiplier on the atove, bnt burned sine (9) tons hard anal (Lackawanna), although the weather was not nearly so oold as last winter. Ths soring of four (4) ton* of coal laat winter over the previous winter was directly attributed to the use of the Heat Multiplier—all other conditions having been tbe same. We have reoommended and sold it to many of onr customers, and all who have used it are well pleased and make substantially the same report as on selves; some have given orders to have them put on other stoves, r<l m*cheerio!?! indorse it as a saver of fuel and heat and from our tests (a* above) and from observations, and from tbe reports of other* whef have used it, we say to the hardware and stove trade, and the general public, this is a thing worthy your attention, Loins convinced that invest gallon will fnlly sustain tbe claims of Its owners that it will save from one-pourth (X) TO ONE-HALF (X) THE FUEL otherwise required.
