From the Chicago Times, Leonard Swett told an interesting story the other day, titustrative of Gen. Grant’s traditional good luck as well as his lack of what 1s called shrewd. ness 1c commercial dealings. When Grant was en- gaged in writing bis memolrs the Century Co., which bad been publishing some of his war articles tn the Century Magazine,offered tim $10,000 for the manuscript Of bis book.’ Webster, the’ publisher, also had his eye on Lue’ alert for the forthcoming work, and one day called ou the general to tnquire about it. Grant was seated at Dis desk, about to attach bis signature to the Century company's contract, which lay before bim. It had appareutly never occurred to him to ask more (or his terry Production, Webster intimated that he woulafike to make an offer “It 1 would uct he impertinent,” he sala, “1 would like to inquire bow inuch thé Century "Ca, agrees to pay you?” ‘“Teu thousand dollars,” General Grant said. “Then { wouldn't sign ‘that contract just yet,” said Webster. “Why not? “Because I will pay you $50,000.” Gen. Grant opeued bis eyes in amazement. It had not occurred to him to set $0 high a value on his work; he had not (hought of dickering beyoud ‘the first offer. But he did not sign the contract, Afterward Mark Twain, Webster's relative and business partner, called und toid the general that none of the publishers Bad offered him what his manuscript Was worth. “I will give you $100,000 and a royalty,” he sald. So Webster & Co. became Grant’s publishers, ‘The firm has grown rich out of Grant's Look, and Grant's family bas been paid over $500,000, “And Grant's book,” said Mr. Swett, in con- clusion, “will become d classic more valuable than ‘Cwsar’s Commentaries.” I consider it one of the of greatest achievements of General Grant's won- dertul life to have written such work with death looking over bis shoulder.’ Andrew Carnegie detailed to @ correspondent of the New York Herald his plans for his coaching tour throug Scotland with Mr. James G, Blaine and family and others as bis guests.

As soon as Mr. Cox began to speak in the House ‘this afternoon all the chairs around him filled up rapidiy, and there appeared tobe the best at- tendance of any periodot the debate, He held that the prime question was to reduce the surplus. He had been and was ready to voue to cake off almost any taxes, He would vote to do away with the entire internal revenue system if there was no other way to reduce tne surplus. He recounted the various propositions for the reduction of the Surplus, showing objections to them all until came to that of tariff reduction, which he const ered the one direct and proper Way to prevent the surplus . fe thought that taxes should stay in the tax- Payers’ pocket as long as possible.
