Gen. Grant, whoso besring toward Sherman diffcred from that with other cfficers, being free, aftcc- tlonate and good humored, greeted him most cordially. He immediately, after the “How are you, Sherman!” and the reply, ‘‘Thank yon, as well as can be ex. pected!” extended to him the ever-wel- come cigar. This Sherman proceeded to light, but without stopping his ready flow of hearty worde, and not even paus- ing to stt down, He seemed like an ani- mated bog just in from an exclting oot door game. Grant srrested his attention by aome apt remark, and then sald; *‘Take the chalr of honor, Sherman,” Indicating a rocker with high back. *The chalr of honor! belongs to you, general.” Grant, not & whit abashed by this compliment, sald: “I don't forget, Shcl:,mau. to glve proper respect to age. ““Well, then, if you pat It on that gronnd, I must acoept.” That night I had the opportunlty of hearing the projected campaigns discussed as never before.

It does seem ns if there Is an ovor-production In this line of busl- nets, sitlon of minister to China who was not a resident of that city on theground that av eastern man unacqualnted with the hablts of the Chiness could not properly reprosent this country and protect and guard Its intoreats In the celestial empire. In splte of their protests, the prestdent appointed Col. Danby, of Ohlo. Ool. Denby has reached San Franclsco, snd the people of that ci'y havo taken him In tow, being determined that he shall learn something of the beauties of 1.fa among the Chiness be- fore he ssts eail for China. They are ac- cordingly escorting him through that sec- tlon of the clty known as Chinatown, and holding up to his vlew the many de- Ughtfal piotures of celestlal life and cus- toms that there present themsclves. We venture to ssy that the effsct upon Col. Denby will be a converaton to the views of the people of San Franclsso concern- ing the heathen OChinee. Perhaps it will result In making bim more of a anti-Chinsee man than if ke had lived in San Franclsco all his life and had become thoroughly accustomed to the every-day sights of Chinatown. The cry in San Franclsco is not now so much ‘‘the Chi- nese must go,” as it is “‘the Chinese muat not come.” Ths people want to impress this fact apon Col. Danby in hopes that he will seo that the restriction laws are faithfully observed. They certainly have taken a very practical way of accomplish- ing their object. A speclal committes of the San Fran- olsco board of supervisors resently made & thorough Inveet'gation into the conditlon of Chinatown, one of ity objects no doubt belng to present to Col. Denby a complete state- ment of facts and figures. Accord ng to the report of thls committes there are 30,000 Chinamen packed into twelve clty blecks, The filthiness of the quarter is sald to be Indescribable; navertheless, the committee reports that the death rats thereln is not excesslye, which is a puzzling problem for the sanltarians. The owners of the property are white citizens, who secura a highor rental than they would receive by leasing to Amerlcans; and, moraover, asslst their tenants In evading the requirements of municlpal law. The committe recommends a clean- ing out of the quarter and the eaforce- moent of municlpal laws, with ths avowed purp ose of making It cost the Chineze so mauch tolive like Amerlcans {hat they will betake themeelves to other cities.

Skirmish egatnst skirmish, and batteries all along the line were at last awakened, and the air was full of missiles. The enemy, however, wap this time purprlsed, and his outer works taken. Al this tine, while staft officers became excited and orderlies conld not kesp qulet, Graunt and Thomas stood side by siae without exchanging a word, Grant quietly smoked his cigar, and Thomas pressed his ficld glass now and then againet his forehead to get clearer views. At last the Occhard Knob is crowned and Rawlins steps to Grant’s side and scems to plead with him, He thought the men ehould not return as usual afcer a reconnoitre, but hold what they had gained. ‘It will have a bad effect to lot them come back and try it over agaln.” When the desired moment Central City is talking of & 85,000 Grant | (o aee me he will find mo on this train,” | 184 como Grant sald quletly, Tatrench them and eead up support.” it was so done. In this brief combat I could ob- ecrve the perfect self-pozsession and im- pertarability of our leaders. Grant's equanizity was not marred by danger or by the contagious excitement of battle. In Washington, after the wer, when President Johnson unexpectedly became lcnlent toward the southern white poo- le, and Mr, Stanton, his reorotary of war, clave to congress, there was fora tlme grave fesrs of contpiracy and revo- Jutlon, One night, at the war depart- ment, several officers wers asrembled and the air was fille 1 with rumors of coming dsrgeis.

Spsaking of an cflicer command- iug troops, some one eald: **Why, you cannot trust that officsr; he is coppery!” Gen, Grant turned to the epeaker and said severely: “‘Sir, you must trust him; if you do not have confidence, s0n you cin'trust nobody. Trust him, sir, and he will be trae.” This timy confi- dence was repessd In the officer refirred to. It was not betrayed. e ———— A Workman's Holiday, Chicago News.
