A STORY OF THE DAYS BEFORS NATIONAL BANKS AND EXPRESS COMPANIES, From the Hartford Courant. A paper read by Mr. F.F. Starr, of Middle- town, some weeks ago before the Connecticut Historical Society, presents very sugzestively through a series of letters the difficulty in. the y of carrying on business between the states bout sixty years ago. The Tennessee legislature in 1819 voted to present swords to Gens. Andvew Jackson and sdmund P, Gaines for their services in the minole war. Hearing of this vote, Nathan Starr, of Middletown, who was then about com- pleting a sword for Col. R. M. Johnson, wrote to the governor of his ability to make a good sword and asking for thisconiract. He referred to the Johnson sword, which he was making by order ofthe ences governmentat the price of $1,200, The Tennessee officials examined it, found it very satisfactory and offered $1,800 for two, each to be fully equal to Johnson's, M. r accepted the offer and his troubles then It took until January, 1821, to get the "a made and the work started. By April the authorities began towrite to know bow soon they could rds, and giving direc- Mons for their delivery. They were to be tak to Washington and put into the hands of some of the 1 nessee delegation in Con Was no express then, and no w from Middletown to Tennessee except by s messenger. In March, 1822, the swords vere tically readv and Mr. Starr opened corres- pondene: ing his pay.

From the Detroit Free Press. ‘The most wonderful transformation seene I ever saw in the matter of hats was on Fleet street, London, after President Garfield's death.

Probably no one in the thousands there had ever heard the mournful sound of that great bell, The immense crowd waited patiently for hours, Then came the first low, dull, sonorous stroke of the long- silent bell. Instantly every hat was removed and the change from a sea of hats to @ sea of heads jost magical.

WHAT THE IRON CHANCELLOR THINKS OF THE GREAT AMERICAN GENERAL, A-correspondent of the Boston Herald, who has succeeded In interviewing Prince Bismarck, gives the following as the iron chancelior’s opinion of Gen. Grant:—“The news of Gen. Grant's illness and sufferings has grieved me very much, for there isin him the personifica- tion of much that is tobe admired. When he Visited Germany in 1878, the Berlin congress was in session, 2nd I had but little time to de- vote to our illustrious guest. Still we saw each other frequently in Berlin, and later on at Gas- tein. I remember particularly the horror he expressed because of the then recent attack on the life of the emperor, and his sorrow Unat he could not be permitted to see him, This sor- | row was shared by Emperor Wilheim, but his physician had positively forbidden him to re- ceive any one. One thing that struck me fore bly was the clear and concise manner in whic Grant talked on the various subj cussed. I saw at onee that he kne thoroughly, or else that he avoi pletely.
