the

balls.' "The ball room, which was the scene .of these delectablelentertainmentn, was .-a large room over a grocery and liquor «hop at Gravois. Aud, though I do not cemember ever seeing Grant in the ball room, I know I never missed him from the bench in front of the grocery on these occasions. According to tbe custom of the place, he was frequently asked to drink, and never deolined. The result was that he was generally assisted home about midnight.

But, injustice to Grant, I must say that this seemed te be less bis fault than the fault of that Gravois whisky. Grant used to drink pretty freely in the city, too. But when in St. Louis he always drank good whisky at the best bars,and it hardly ever, if ever, got the best of him. But the Gravois whisky was tbe meanest whisky that was made, and always threw him. "Grant bad applied at one time for a olerkslilp under Gus Linn, the Surveyor of tbe Port, who was an intimate friend of mine. And while Linn bad Grant's application under consideration, he talked with me on the subject. "'Shreve,' salcl Linn, -Capt. Grant, (that was the name he went by in those days) has applied to me for a clerkship in my office, and I really don't see bow I can give it to bim. You know perfectly well that I have got to get drunk occasionally. And there is Charley Keener, my chief clerk you know he will get drunk every time he draws a month's pay. Now, if I appoint Grant, he'll waut to get drunk, too. Aud tbe fact is Old Buchanan will cut my bead oil In less than a month.' '•Nevertheless, Grant was appointed soon afterward, and did not disappoint Linn's expectations at all. For one day, as I was going down town, Linn bailed uue from across the street with: •4 'Haveyou seen anything of Grant?' 'No. not in along time I said, 'haye yoa?' 'No, not for a week or so. The last I heard of him be was drunk, down at 3ravois.' "For some time before the war 1 lost sight of Grant. I suppose he was at Galena.

A BEMINESCENCE OF THE OF HIS POVERTY. •.•ijyft'A 4- -W aaMMMMBM*

Chicago News,

ilu tbe year 18761 delivered a Tilden speech at Englewood, and rode back to tbe city late at night, in a carriage with Judge L. M. Shreve, tbe well Known Chicago lawyer, who has been assisting Mr. Mills for tbe past two weeks in tbe Criminal Court.

Judge Sbreve is a Southern born Dem ocrat of tbe most pronounced type. During our tedious ride tbe converaa tion happened to turn on Gen. Grant, and I asked tbe Judge what be thought of him. "Geu. Grant," be said, "is tbe greatest captain of any age, and, apart from pol itics, be is also a man of very great purity and elevation of character. The only fault be ever had was the habit of drinking liquor, and, as he has stopped that, be is entitled to credit on that score, too. "Somewhere between 1855 and 1858," said tbe Jndge, "when I was practioing law in St. Louis, and living on St. street, near Gth, 1 saw a wagon load of wood standing out on 6th street, and a plainly dressed farmer, in a slouched hat, who seemed to be tbe driver of tbe team, walking up and down tbe sidewalk, whip in hand, and looking up at the houses. As I wanted some wood, I thought 1 would try to buy that load. 'Is that wood for sale 1 said to him, calling to aim from adistance. "'No, sir,'be said, 'I have sold this load to

preacher,' (referring to the

Rev. Dr. Potts, the pastor of the Presbyterian church), 'and 1 am looking for his house.' "'Dr. Potts' house is right around the corner, on Walnut street,'I said. 'Thank you, sir. Would you like to buy some wood?' 'Yes, I would.' ''Well, I can't bring it to yon to-mor-row, because 1 have to cord it up one day, and haul it in tbe next. But I can bring you the first load Monday.' 'All right let me have a load Monday.' ''When Monday came the farmer brought me the load of wood, and at Intervals of a few days, several more loads. And one day, when ho had unloaded his wood in front of my house, I invited him to come in and have some dinner. He excused himself at first, but I

E9tter

ressed bim, telling him that he had come in and nave a drink, and by that time dinner would be ready. And he accepted both invitations. Then as 1 had to introduce him to my family, I asked him what his name was ana be told me tbat his name was Grant, and that be was a son-in-law of Col. Dent. That is the way I first got acquainted "with Gen..Grant. "After that I used to meet him occasionally at Gravois. Gravois is about six miles below tbe city, and is the looation of the Gravois coal mines. It is also very near Colonel Dent's farm, apart of which he had given to Grant. Grant's part was very well wooded, which accounted for his selling wood. I used to do a good deal of business for tbe English and Welsh colliers at Gravois, and -would sometimes go to their 'shin digs,' which thsy held every week, and called

soon alter tbe war broke

out 1 met bim on tbe street in St. Louis. •"I tViuk of joluiug tbe army,' he said. "'What army?' I asked, "'On! I shall fight for tbe old flag.' 'Why, Captain, what do you know about war?' *1 graduated at West Point and was in tbe Mexican war "'Indeed.' I said, lor that was the first I ever knew of his having been educated at West Point, or anywhere else. 'Yes,' he said, Ub*y are going tfx appoint six Colonels over thore in Illinois, and I am going to ^yjo lw oae of tbem. By tbe way, Phil Foulk, tje Congressman, hts a good deal of influence over there, and 1 was thinking that if you would give me a tetter to Foulk be would help me to get tbe appointment,' ,. "I promised him tbat I would do so, but wo did not meet again until some time after he got his commission.

Meanwhile, I was very much surprised at his entering tbe Union army, as be bad always been a very rabid prosi a

very Southern man in his sentiments. 1 remember overhearing a very fiery altercation, one day, between him and Judge Moody (tbe same who went to the poorhouse the other day in St. Louis) on the subject of slavery. Moody was a Keutuckian, but a pronounced abolitionist, and his discussion wltb Grant ended as follows. Said Moody to Grant:

"You haven't got but one little humpbacked bigger, and-you make more fuss about piggers than a man down South that owns 500." "Yea/' said Grant, "and you are trying to steal him." "A short time after tbe war began a client of mine—a|German nameed Somers—retained me to recover a lot of bacon of his, which he said had been confiscated by the Commissary officer of an Illinois regiment. He did not know what regiment it was, but bad beard that it was commanded by a ican named Grant. So I made inquiries, and pretty sdon learned tbat the regiment was the 2l8t Illinois, and tbat the Colonel was my old friend. It was theu in camp some distance below the city, at Cape diradeau. "So down I wont to Cape Giradeau and presented myself at the Colonel's headquarter*. ," 'Colonel in?' I said to the orderly. 'Yes, sir, but he is sick and cannot see company.' 'Very sorry,' I replied. 'He is an ojd friend ot mine.' 'Give me your name and I will take it ift to him.' .. "'JudgeShreve.' "The result was that I was immedi ately admitted. I found the Colonel half undressed, with bis bead enor monsly swelled, but he was perfectly sOber. He apologized for his sickness.' 'The fact is, Judge,' he said, 'I have been camped here on a bed of rock about three weeks, under a July sun. and there i3 nothing to do here but to get drunk.' "And, after listening attentively to nay story about the lost bacon, he gave one a written order

fur

his commissary

officer to return it to its owner and I left.' "I saw Grant no more until just be fore he was nominated for President the first time. It was at a reception given him at Long Branch, at one of the hotels. He was not at all stuck up over bis ndwly acquired greatness, but recognized meat once, and conversed with the some time with tbe utmost simplicity and friendliness. Under such circumstances, a man of small caliber would have been sure to freeze or cut me, for I had known him in his humiliation. But Grant was not tbat kind of a man. His marvelous success has never made a breach between him and his old time friends. I have never spoken to him since then but I think a great deal of him indeed I do."

Here tbe Judge left the carriage, and I pursued my journey homeward, wondering how it was that some people get on in lite so much faster than others.

FLORENCEMOCARTY.

FUSSING CHILDREN TO DEATH.

Railroad Sketch in Boston Advertiser.

Opposite is a young woman with a child. An angelic child. This is no common creature and it would be difficult to exaggerate her beauty. She is as delicate and dainty as a fairy. At first one only saw the lovely picture of rosy cheeks, deep blue oyes, made quite angelic by dark lashes, the enehanting, laughing mouth, absolutely illuminated by the sweet baby teeth, and tbe finishing touch of loose yellow curl showing below the white cap. Very soon, however, any woman notices that the child is not only becomingly, but very expensively dressed, and when it becomes manifest tbat the mother is probably tbe wife of a mechanic, it occurs to one to wonder what would be tbe emotions of a European mother of this class on seeing a child of hers arrayed in all this lace, embroidery and the softest and showiest of woolen wraps.

At once all eyes are drawn to this sweetest of sweet things—a beautiful child. The first person 10 notice her is a pleasant looking man, who sits with his wife in the seat uext the baby. Something about them makes one feel tbat this is a childless pair. The baby at this moment, is toalf

3itt

ng, half lying,

on her mother's lap, kicking up one red shod foot against tbe back of the next seat. She is almost tbe only unconscious creature in tbat car, as she lies there perfectly happy and ease. Friendly man stretches out his hand toward her. Up springs the mother, and with a nervous hand seizes the little foot, puts baby into a conventional attitude, saying, with an accent of horror: "Why, Maud Your foot does not look very pretty up there." "What is your name?" asks the man.

Tbe baby, bless her heart! has now worked herself down again into her jretty attitude, and again kicks up tbe ittle red foot, making no answer to the stranger. Again the mother seizes tbe foot, glancing anxiously around at us all, and repeating: "Why, Maud Tell the gentleman what your name Is tell the gentleman what your name is Maud. Maud! tell tbe gentleman what your name is."

Baby is gazing happily now at a bird in a cage hanging near, and visible through a rent in the paper cover but the mother cannot leave her in peace, and begins a vigorous pushing back ot the velTow hair under her cap. We can all teel bow it pulls. Tbat done, she stiffens up the angel in her lap into the attitude of a wax doll, and'begins the exhibition again: "Can't you tell the gentleman how old you are?" "Most two," the baby answers promptly. "Ob, no not most two," tbe mother says solemnly "two years old, Maud, say two years old." And then—Maud, say this, and Maud say that is repeated over and over, the little victim being shown off aud put through her paces, without a moment's peace or rest, for so long that it makes one's ears and heart ache.

It is a relief when the friendly man reaches out his arms to the baby in a gentle way, and she raises ber blue eyes lo his, and seeing that yeafnlng look there which a love of children often puts into a man's eyes,and which even a very young baby knows how to read, Straightway holds out her arms to him, and be lifts ber over the back of tbe seat with that expression, wholly pleased and half surprised, which becomes one who has received tbe highest of compliments— the confidence aud preference of a little child. How have any of us ever deserved that tbe kingdom of heaven should be given right into our arms.

For a few -ainutes our dear baby was allowed to rest in this quiet man's arms, to play with bis watch, to bunt through his pockets, to be let alone to do whatever she pleased. It was not long, however, before the mother began straggling In an ominous way with her traveling basket, and then, while baby was entirely quiet and happy, watching the reflection of the lamp on the bright watcb, a large piece or what looked like

It was bard to see her put her little white teetb into it, and to judge from this what the ordinary diet was likely to be hard to glance from tbe beautiful peach like cheeJt of the ohild to tbe sallow one of tbe young mother, which, together with the fragile, broken American teeth, told tbe story of sbroalc dyspepsia and general debility. Is this what our blooming baby is coming to?

She throws half the cake on the floor,

My journey is ended. Poor baby goes farther, night though it be, and the last words I hear as I leave the car are— "Can't you tell the gentlemab where j^ou are going, Maud?"

WOMEN'S RUGGEDNJESS. Detroit Free Press^ "The mortality reports o%|Detroit or any other city in the counti-y ought to prove the deaths of ten females to one male," said a Detroit physician tbe other day, when speaking of the wpy women dress.

The best physicians advise warm clothing and proper precautions wjien advising with a big, rugged man end men follow this advice, and die of lung trouble. This day you wil^se^ men on the streets with pulse warmers, heavy overcoats, fur caps, woolen tfwerclothing, thick socks, eto., and ahf£d apd behind them you will see women in almost summer attire. Men are brouglt up to look on women as frail, delicatb creatures, to be tenderly cared for #pd yet there are hundreds of tnem ij-every town and city who can and do^endure more injury to the physical system than men dare attempt. A woman tetal wear a two ounce bonnet to chArch c/Jto the opera, and make no c?mplain man goes out wearing a soalskidC&p, and perhaps has his oars frostbitten? Thousands of women wear cotton stockings all "winter long, while men's toes are nipped through warm woolbn flocks

The great majority of womefr do not wear woolen underclothing At least ninety men out of every one hundred either wear red flannels or merinos, and yet they seem to suffer more than women. Men will wear double mittens, while a woman puts on kids^and seems to feel no cold. «A man's beaver overcoat alone will weigh as much as fcll tbe garments put on by a woman ux this weather, and yet he is the one whb complains of the chilly winds.

HIRED JEWELS. washington capital.

Last winter, at a brilliant society fete in New York city, a beautiful young lady was seen in a quarrel with a rival belle whose neck and ears were resplendent with diamonds. The dancers stopped to listen, for it got to be interesting when the first young lady in a high key declared that the other's diamonds were only hired. "I wore them myself," she cried, "last Monday evening at Mrs. Howard Swellingly's ball, ana now that impudent piece is sporting them just as if they were her own. But they are not ly hired from old Solomon, the' diamond renter. And fifty other

girls have worn them this winter." This was too mucn for the rival to stand, and she broke her ivbry fan over the accuser's lovely face with such violence and precision that the blood flowed and the victim fainted. Those two fair ones had to leave New York society for good, so elaborate was the story at once turned out from the ladles' School for Scandal.

But the incident served to expose many similar instances of borrowed, or rather hired plumage.

The jewel renters of New York area peculiar class, who rent full sets of jewels for balls and parties, churches, funerals, promenades, and in fact every occasion where a belle or a fast woman would display herself, but especially to maneuvering mothers who have matrimonial exchange.

A reporter last week caught a jewel renter, who spoke thus: "The jewels are loaned for an evening only. A customer signs a receipt to that effect. If the gems are not returned we have only to apply for a warrant for tbe tbiefs arrest, and tbe law deals with promptness and severity with the case. It was only last week tbat an attempt was made to rob me of jewels worth eight thousand dollars by a voung lady whose miserly father, though be is one of tbe wealthiest shipping merchants in the country,keeps heron very 1 raited pin money. The gems were not returned at the appointed hour. I sent for them. Tbe yonng lady bad just started for Saratoga. I procured a warrant and sent a detective after ber. Tbe diamonds were in her trunk. She had forgotten tbem, she said. Her bad memory cost ber father 'a thousand dollars to bush up the esse.1 "We don't lend jewels for purposes of festal show alone. We furnish them for church going and funeral attending, for calls and even shopping expeditions. Then, again, we rent tbem sometimes for the season to parties who furnish good security. These are generally* match making mothers, who want additional attractions for their marriageable daughters, or adventuresses, who use their flashing lures as baits to catch gudgeons. "The securities are almost always bonds or deeds for real estate. But last week the wife of a prominent lawyer hired sets for her daughters to wear at Saratoga and Sharon, and for security

We never require any security Irom tbem. Tbe publicity of their stations is sufficient guarantee for us. I have loaned jewels to nearly every actress, of note or not, on the New York stage. Among the fast women, Jennie Mitchell and Fannie Bell were customers of mine. I have loaned each of them £is high as fifteen thousand dollars' worth of stones without even a receipt. I -charged^ them double fees. Tbe theatrical ladies, on the other hand, got tbe gems they used for merely a nominal sum.

DIVORCE LAWS.

HOW MARRIAGE RELATIONS ARB SEVERED IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

Bench and Bar.

Australians—Divorces have--1 -never been sanctioned in Australia. Jews—In olden times the Jews bad a discretionary power of divorcing their wives..

Javans—If the wife be dissatisfied she can obtain a divorce by paying a certain sum.

Thibetans—Divorces are seldom allowed, unless with tbe consent oi both parties, neither of whom can afterwards remarry.

Moors—If the wile does not become the mother of a boy she oan be divorced with the consent of the tribe and she can marry again.

Abyssinians—No form of marriage is necessary. The connection may be dissolved and renewed as often as tbe parties think proper.

Siberians—If the man be dissatisfied with the most trifling acts of his wife, he tears her cap or veil from ber head, and this constitutes a divorce.

Corean—The iiusband. can divorce his wife, or treasure, and leave her the charge of maintaining the children. If she proves unfaithful he can put her to death.

Siamese—The first wife may be divorced, not sold, as tbe other wives may be. She may then claim the first, third and fifth child, and tbe alternate children are yielded to tbe husband.

Arctic Region—When a man desires a divorce he leaves the house in anger, and does not return for several days. The wife understands the hint, packs her clothes and leaves.

Druse aud Turkomen—Among these people, if-a wife asks her husband's permission to go out, and he says ,"Go" without adding, "but come back ajgain," she is divorced. Though both parties desire it they cannot live together without being remarried.

Cochin Chinese—If the parties choose to separate, they break a pair of chopsticks or a copper coin in the presenceof witnesses, by which action the union is dissolved. Tbe husband must restore to the wife all property belonging to her prior to her marriage.

American Indians—Among, some of the' tribes, tbe pieces of sticks given the witnesses of the marriage are burst as a

sing

•vorces his wife after she has borne him sons. Tartars—The husband may put his partner away, and seek another when it pleases him, and the wife may do the same. If she be ill treated she complains to the magistrate, who, attended by the principal people, accompanies her to the house and pronounces a formal divorce.

Chinese—Divorces are allowed in all cases of criminality, mutual dislikes, jealousy, incompatibility of temper, «r too much loquacity on the part of the wife. The husband cannot sell his wife until she leaves him, and becomes a slave to him by action of the law for desertion. A son is bound to divoroe bis wife if she displeased her parents.

Circassians—Two kinds of divorces are granted in Ciroassia—onetotal,theother provisional. When the first is allowed the parties can immediately marry again where tbe second exists tbe couple agree to separate for a year, and if at the expiration of that time, the husband does not send for his wife, her relations may command to bim a total divorce.

Grecians—A settlement was usually given to a wife at marriage for support in case of a divorce. Tbe wife's portion was then restored to her, and the husband required to pay monthly interest for its use during tbe time he detained it from ber. Usually the men could put their wives away on slight occasions. Even the iear of having too large a family sufficed. Divorces scarcely ever occur in Modern Greece.

Hindoos—Either party for a slight cause may leave the other and marry. Where both desire it there is not the least trouble. If a man calls bis wife "Mother," it is considered indelicate to live with her again. Among one tribe, tbe "Gores," if the wife be unfaithful, tbe husband cannot obtain a divorce unless be gives ber all tbe property and the children. A woman, on the contrary, may leave when she pleases, and marry another man, and' convey to bim tbe entire property of her former husband.

Romans—Tn olden times a man might divorce his wife if she were unfaithful, if she counterfeiten bis private keys, or drank wine without his knowledge. They would divorce tbeir wives when tbey pleased. Notwithstanding this, 521 years elapsed without one divorce. Afterwards a law was passed allowing either sex to make tbe application. Divorces then became frequent on tbe slightest pretexts. Seneca *sayB that some women no longer reckoned tbe years by tbe consols, but by the number of tbeir husbands. St. Jerome speaks of a man who had buried twenty wives, and a woman who had buried twentytwo husbands. Tbe Emperor Augustus endeavored to restrain the license by penalties.

THE CLOSING YEAR.

'Tls midnight's holy hour—and silence now Is brooding, likea gentle spirit, o'er The still and pulseless world. Hark! on the winds The bell's deep tones axe swelling—'tis the knell Of the departed year. No funeral train Is sweepiDgpast yet, on the stream and wood, With melancholy light, the moonbeams rest Like a pate, spotless shioud the air is stirred As by a mourner's sigh and on yon cloud, That floats so still and placidly through heaven, The spirits of the seasons seem to stand,— Young Spring, bright Summer. Autumn's solemn form, And Winter with his aged locks,—and breathe, in mournful cadences, thatcome abroad Like tbe far wind-harp's wild and touching wail, A melancholy dirge o'er the dead yew, Gone from the earth forever. 'Tis a time For memory and for tears. Within the deep, Still chambers of the beart, a specter dim, Whose tones are like the wizara voice of Time, Heard from the tomb of ages, points its cold And solemn finger to the beautiful And holy visions that have passed away, s!M^ And left no shadow of theirloveliness On the dead waste of life. That specter lifts Theooffln-lid of Hope, and Joy, and Love, And, bending mournfully above the pale, Sweet forms that slumber there, scatters dead flowers O'er what has passed to nothingness.

The year

Has gone, and with it, many a glorious throng Of happy dreams. Its mark is on each brow, Its shadow in each heart. In its swift course, It waved its scepter o'er the beautiful— And they are not. It laid its pallid hand Upon the strong man—and the haughty form Is fallen, and the flashing eye Is dim. It trod the hall of revelry, where thronged* The bright and joyous—and the tearful wail Of stricken ones is heard, where erst the song And reckless shout resounded.

It passed o'er

The battle plain, where sword, and spear, and shield, Flashed in the light of mid-day,—and the strength Of serried hosts is shivered, and the grass, Green from the soil of carnage, waves above The crushed and moldering skeleton. It came, And faded like a wreath of mist at eve Yet, ero it melted in the viewless air, It heralded its millions to their home In the dim land of dreams.

As some old officer is set aside, Retired from active service in the list, Perchance from pay and honor is dismissed, To make a way for one that's yet untried, Unknown, unskilled, but with a vaunting pride",

So the year of eighteen seventy-nine *•. By those above requested to resign.

Some words of deep regret and pain he hears, Kind wishes that his future course may be Made smooth by fate, from every sorrow free, Until from memory he disappears And then farewells are drowned in roystering cheers*

The oid year goes with slow and faltering pace, Ana we salute the one that takes his place.

MARRYING EARLY.

Tbe Postal Card, a new paper in New York, asked Mr. Beecher: "What is your opinion as to tbe desirability of the marriage of young people?1' Mr. Beecher thus answers Mm

Why, of course, young people ought to marry it is intended that tbey should according to nature. But love always must be temyered with prudence, and it is all the better—and very much better —if both love and prudence were tinctured with religion. Do I think tbat a man ought to have a fortune before he marries? No. Tbe prevalent sentiment tbat a man must acquire his fortune before be marries, tbat his wife shall have no share or sympathy with bim in the work or struggle to gain a footing, and in tbe pursuit ol it (and in tbe pursuit a great deal of tbe pleasure is really found to consist) is absurd. Then, too, it is thought necessary that a young Carried couple should set out with so large an establishment as is enjoyed by older people whom they seek to showily equal, who bave perhaps been married for 20 years, and in tbat time bave built up commercial success and social respect. The idea that a man must be wealthy before he weds fills the community with fortune seeking bachelors and unhappy spinsters it endangers virtue, destroys true economy andde sign, and tbe beneficent intentions of the home. It promotes vice, idleness, inefficiency and" imbecility amongst females,who seem from an unsympathetic outset thenceforward to expect to be taken up by fortune and passively sustained, and without any concern on tbeir part. It is thus that a man finds it diffieult to obtain a help meet.

Remorseless Time!

Fierce spirit of the glass and scythe!—what power Can stay him in his silent course, or melt His iron heart to pity? On still on He presses, and forever. The proud bird, The condor of the Andes, that can soar Through heaven's unfathomable depths, or brave The fury of the northern hurricane, And bathe his plumage in the thunder's home, Furls his broad wings at nightfall, and sinks down To rest upon his mountain crag,—but Time Knows not the weight of sleep or weariness.
