Yesterday Mtost of the fiowsrs were withered, except here and there freak emblem of love, hut the kUlsktos of CUremout all day re-echoed witk the tread ol those who had come to see kis tomb. The guards pueaod the dead lowers aside and plaosd the bright, Ires or aa da tke tomb. If on could kave stood all day at Oa Hundred and Twenty-filth street,strage scenes would kave beea witnessed. Am old man got off a car, for lasuaee, sad was trudging up the hill, wkea aa old worn in went across kis palk. The man wore tke badge cf a Grand Army veteran; toa woman a fatted dress and a worn bonnet o( demure pattern. The veteran, as was said, was old, and this was no doubt tke reason of kis HI temper wheakesaldi "What do women want here? Why are you In my path? I fought under him aad waat to s bow they buried him." Tke old lady mo red aside and said: "Go oa, you should go first. I never saw him wkea ka was alive, but I sad a husband like you aad a son, bigger and stronger, and they died with him." The old lady stood very still aad the ralu fell oa her and tke veteran, but the old wan bad some of the spirit of tbe war days b him, and, taking her by the arm, he led her up tbe hill, and when the stretch of green sward aad tbe tomb came in view he said : "You go first yen have a better right than I nave." There was another woman who cane up the bill when the rala was driving through tke trees. She led a' child by the kaad. The child carried a bunch of flowers. Tbe woman brought him to tke barred gate of tbe tomb and said: "Throw them ia there, my boy; he's tbe gteat General your father used to tell you of just before be died." All day long such toea and suck women and children visited Geaeral Grant's tomb. They didn't mlud tbe rain, but stood looking at tbe barred doors In silent awe. Many people came up from tbe river banks through tbe tangled greenery, aad one, the most conspicuous, was aa eld man. He bad a short stout piece of wood in his band. At the tomb be took oat a jack-knife and whittled a piece off carefully and tkrew it on tbe grave. "What does that mean?" some oa Esked. "This," the stranger answered; "tbit I don't believe ia patting flowers ou a soldier's or a Milor's grave. Canncm sad flags are all I believe in, and things I like that. That chip b just a snip off the old Cumberland oefore she went down, wsen tae Memmsc nppeu a.

"It reminds me," be said, "of twenty years ago, when I came home from tbe war a youngster, and saw all the faces of the people oa Broadway who cheered us, and ia the same cheer crkd for tbe others we had left behind. 1 left tbe ranks then, aid only joined a short tlae ago, but when I these people looking through tbe gratiag, I can sot but think of how tbe inen and the wovca used to look In our old ranks they were bully ranks, toowhen we were coming home, hoping that tke reports bad lied and that Jim or Hub, or some one else, woald be seen just as he went away."

C, August W Secretory ltojard of tbe State Department Is ia receipt of a very latere ting dispatch, dated July 14th, from United State Coasul Lewis, stationed at Sierra Leone, Africa. The eommaBteation calls attonUe to the raped rise of a great miliary power among the Mohammedans of tbe .NlgriUaa regions ex tend lag from Timbue'.a o tbe fourth meridian west to tbe coast. Ia IWb, a Maadlngo, named Samndu, of great InteHIxenee and energy, became convinced that be wascalled of God to suppress paganism and open tbe roads to tbe coast, which for hundreds of years have bee subjected to tbe plundering of vagabond tribe. Samudu, slaee 1S0, has collected aa army of 10,000 horse and foot which ke has been using ia three grand divisions. One Is operating at the beadwaters of tbe .Niger, and recently drove back French troops from the sold regions. Another division has been at work In tbe territory east of Liberia, which It has opened up to tbe Introduction of religion ami letter 3"d saiz a place for negro immizraats from America. Tbe third division Is sweeping toward tbe coast a few miles northwest of Sierra Leone. Cue of tbe greatest achievement of Samudu's arms was the destruction of tbe Soolima Kingdom, of which Ialaba U the capital. Last year, after a terrible siege of five month, the city surrendered, tbe royal family and chiefs blowing themselves up with the citadel. Satnudu also turned his arms asalnst the Hooboos, and totally annihilated that renegade power wtileh has for years plundered caravans. Tbe roads have been eleared of tbe tblevts mil somewhat of order secured. Consul Lewis says these movements will Improve the American trade with tbe Interior, but be Is of tke opinion that In matters of religion, tke sueeess of Samodu means tbe forestalling of tbe whole region for MotMmntedsntitm. Tke Mohammedan youth nock to tbe new conqueror's standard, and hi array Is claimed to be lree of all dissensions. A PECULIAR HARDSHIP.

Postoffice Department offislals think the clause ia tbe law cstab'lhln? tbe tea cent postal delivery system, which limits It Introduction Into places having a popatatlon of not lcs than 4,000 Inhabitant according to the l?t census, will cause considerable complaint for the reason that since the last census a great many towns have iacreassd in population at a rate to bring them within the limit, and within .owe c?cs beyond. As an Instance, according to the last centtis, tbe population of Klrminghatn, Ala., was U- than 4,000: now it Is estimated at 90,000. Then there are the towns of Dcnison and Sherman in Tvxts. According to tbe census ieturn,s Dcnlson had 4,000 Inhabitants and Sherman bad le$s. Now Denlsoa has fallen b.-bind, and Sherman has Increased, but tbe system will be introduced in the former, and not In the latter place. There are four towns in Connecticut, namely: Ansonla, Birmingham, Kckvllte ami South Norwslk, wtiere the population now entitles them to tkis service, but at tbe time of taking the lateeBsus they were not so entitled, and It Is estimated that there are more than fifty towns ia tbe country where tbe population durluz tbe past five years has increased so that the total is above tbe limit provided by law, but under the terms of the law the &vstem can not be Introduced in these places.

Treasury oWcUls for some time have been looking into the expense aocoaat of the Alabama Claims Commission. Hints of looseness and extravagance la business methods oa the part of the Court have beea thrown out, and this led to an investigation ot the expenses of tbe Court, and the result Is that Comptroller Durham has temporarily suspended all aeeouats of tbe Court coming under the head of Incidental expenses. Wkea Comptroller Durham looked over the accounts of tbe Court, he found oa tbe roils, outside of tbe ofifcers authorised by tbe law of ISeS, reorganizing the Court, aa assistant counsel, for tbe United States, clerk to tbe aslstsnt counsel, expert, assistant exjeu, clerks to experts, messengers, watchmen, etc., whose salaries amounted te $34,300 per year. The Comptroller also found la the quarterly returns that there had been paid to other assistant counsel over 1 9, 090 for tbe quarter ending December SI, 1SS4, and about $7,009 for the quarter ending March $1, beside other alleged illegal payments. Among these special counsel so emptoved are Walker Vlalne, F. D. Hunt, Hamilton Fish, Jr., G. F. FreliBghuysen and others. These payments were Indorsed as correct by the Presiding Judge of tbe Court. The Coutroilerfiad bo law authorizing these payments, sad alter consulting with tbe Secretary ef the Treasury, he has determined to stop aU latere payments of these salaries.
