Tho report of tho flrst aaeistaut post

tbo liscal year cnded June 30, bas this
to flay about rural freo delivery:
"Rural freo delivery haa been put to
test of practical experiment in twenty
nino states and over forty-four diffcrent
routes. Tho co-operation of tho cora
munities ecrved bas in ovcry instanco
been etlectively given. Tho gonerally
satiafaclory resulta suggcat tho feasi
bilily of making rural delivery a per
mancnt featuro of poatel administra
tion in tho Unitcd Stalca; not immedi
ately or in all districte at onco, but in
fiomo gradual and graduated form regu
lated by tho present experiraents. Pub
lic policy requircs Bome advancement
to bo mado and tbat tho postal aervice
sbould bo brought moro into lino with
advancing prosperity and increasing
Eopulation. Sooner or lator tho United
tates will havo to follow tho lead of
tho moro dcnsely populatod eountrieB
and eBtablish a delivery servicc over all
the aettled portions of ita vaat territory.
Under wiao reatrictiona it cau bo ex

of our citizena who rightly or wrongly
deem Ibemselvea ueglected in legiala-

itnpotenl to harm hini on a hundrcd
battlflolds, Bhould atriko down the old
horo in tho hour of hls peaceful fanio
no ono dreamcd, leaat of all Grnnt hiai
self. Tho moro intiranto aldo of hla chnr
ncler bccame known during hls lator
llfo ln tho east. That hls Btcrncss of
napect concealed a naturo that was full
of gcntlencBB nnd as altnplo as n child,
that indccd " tho loving nro the dar
ing," the world ecarcely learncil beforo
tho heavy hand of diseaso had been
lald upon n epirit bowcd down with uu
meritcd misforlunc. Oeorgo W. Childs
told of a eonvcrBatlon bo had with
Grant when tho latter was Bpouding bis
Bummor nt Loug llrancb. IIo aBkod
tho geueral wbat had been tbo trrcatest
diatrees bo bad BUBtalned, and tho re
ply was, "To bo deccived by tboao I
ttustcd."
It la altogother a plcnBant chaptor
that tho lifo of Goueral Grant prcsonts
nt this pcriod, bricf tbough it is nnd al
thougb tho mutterings of tho storrn aro
bcard out of that clear aky of content
mcnt. In tho family circle or when
Burrounded by old corarades he was by
no meauB tho irresponsive rcan be has
been paintcd. He wns frco and intor
CBting in conversation, and, as Childs
rccnllcd, talked moro than nny singlo
meniber of tho eompnny, but bo added:
"Lot n slrauger enter, and ho would
Bay nothing moro during the ovening.
That waa ono peculiarity of bis."
In thoBO conversationa Genornl Grant
8ometime8 went over tho ovontful
ecencB of tho past. He waa generous
in bia eatimato of tlto meu who had
fought by bis side. Ilia ndmiration of
Sheridnu was uutneaBured. Ho uacd to
say that "Little I'hll" was tbo greatcst
flchter be over knew, and that auother
war would devrlop in hlm tbo supremo
commandcr. Ilia own rcaerved naturo
found in the dashing soldier's over
flowing Bpirits, bouudleBS conlldcnco
and sometimea cmphatie convorsntion
a complcment to it'.elf. For reasons of
much tho samo Bort ho had a positive
tfftction for Geueral John A. Logan.
Ho was proud of Loth of tbem and hap
py iu their sccioly.
His loyally to hta frienda was entire.
Ono of bis principleB was "Never dc-
Bcrt a friond under nre." While it is
moro than likely that tho famous "30G"
did not bear with them into tho Chica
go convontion auy reul wish of Genoral
Graut'a that they be buceessful, he look
a Bolditr's delight afterward in thcir
manificontly faithful flght in his be
balf and never forgot it.
Hia partiality for bia army comrndes
had been shown wbile ho was preei
dent. "I like," ho said, "to appoint the
children of army and navy oillcers bc
cauae they havo no pcliticnl influence."
Tho care ho exercised over tho orpbans
of veteraus who had dicd on tho fleld
was continued in privato lifo. Some
times it took tho form of gifts and sub
sciiptions really beyond his meaus.
An application from a soldier's widow
was ono tbing bo found it hnrd to re-
fllfcO.
Tho blow that atruck Grant down
came suddenly. It is a Baddening epi
sodo to recall, with its crucl ahock of
Burpri80 and tbo Btill moro cruel impu
tations that for tho moment wero east
upon the cld hero's integrity, but wben
the duat tbat had been raised by tho
crash of tbo banking houao of Grnut &
Wnrd bad cleared tbo flguro that it ro
vealed waa not tbat of a mnn wbo had
bartered bis bonor and had risked all
and lost in a dangerous throw, but of
an old soldier dazed by the vision of a
parlner's unfaithfulness andstripped in
a morncut of his worldly possesaions,
nnd vot with his pcrBonal honcstv suln
ing out from tbe ruin of bis house's
credit and hia resoluto courage to re
deem bis ill fortuno standing fortb like
a BOlitary tower in an eartnquake lev
eled nlain,
Grant hau entereu wau street De-
cauae be found bia income ineufllcient
for his family. Tho genius of Ferdi
uand Ward dazzlod bim as it bad daz
zled other men in tho atreot. Grant
tbought himself a woalthy man. It was
a matter of pride to him tbat ho Bhould
reverso tho ul omons of his lifo as a
privato citizcn prior to tbo war and
domonstrato before tho world that ho
could Bucceed in business as in war.
That morning in May of 1884 cnmo
wben ho found tbat his houso had failed
for milliona. ReBolutely bo bad set to
work to meet his obligations. Ho oven
pledged bis niedals nnd his decoratione.
Then ho began tho preparation of tho
memoirs covering n period of which ho.
could Bay with as much trutb as Crcsar

Tho story is ono of many of hcr

fcatcd C00 Eugliab soldicrs and 800 In

by Pcrry's famous victory on Lako
Erio a month later.
An act was pasacd by Congrcss that
tho old survivor who had sinco servcd
many yonrs iu tho rogular nrmy, Bhould
bo crcatcd an orderiy Bcrgeant. Then
a uniform was ordercd for him, nnd
word waa loft that at a certain timo tho
prefiidcnt'a carriago would cnll for him
nnd tako him to a phologrnpber.
But tbo old mnn trcmbled with wenk

that tho atripea for tho eeam of his

Grant "in Current Literalure:
Tho parude of tho Grand Army which
was part of tho Centennial cclebration
was an occasiou of wild excitemeut to
us. Wo wero not far from tho balcony
whero General Grant reviowcd the
troops, and thereforo saw all that could
be seec a acemingly encless proces
sion of Boldiers, cannon and brass bands.
And how tho peoplo cheeredl liut
it puzzled us why tho cheers wero
loudeet nnd longest for tho most for
lorn, stained and tattorcd old flags un
til we under&ioou tnat tne iiags, too,
wero voteranB.
By and by tho great show wa3 over
and General Grant was going away.
Ho did not seem al ell gay. I wonder
ed wby.
" Didn't you enjoy it? Wasn't it
nico to seo all your old soldicrs thero
again?" I aBked.
" But they wero not all thero," ho
anawercd gravely.
I renlized whnt it had nieant to him
to review his old army. Thoso tatter-
ed flags bad been cnrried by men who
went to deatb at his command. Tboao
dark stains bad bceu tho rcd lifeblood
of men who died oboying him. To oth
ers it had been a day of lubilcc, wbilo
his great heart bnd acbed as he tbought
oi tho prico ot nis victorics.

Goneral Horace Porter, in his " Cam
paigning with Grant" in tho October
Centuri, says of Sheridan nt Appomat
tox: No ono could look at Sheridan at
such a moment without a Bentiment of
undiei'uiBed admiration. In this catt
paign, ns otbors, bo had shown himself
poBBeBscd ot mllitary tratts ot tne nigU'
est order. Bold in conccptlou, self'
reliaut, demonstraling by hls acta that
" much danger makeB great hearta most
resoluto." fertilo in reaources, commn
ing tho rcatlcssneBB of n Hotspur with
tho natlenco of a Fabius, it is no won
der tbat he sbould havo been looked
unon as tho wizard of the battlo' fleld.

Crown Worcester Chinn.
Crown Worcester has tho prefercnco

In making this nnnouncement n writer
in the New York Sun cxplains that it
is the Crown, not the Itoval Worcester.
Thifl chiua is hcavy and to tho unac
customed cyo ugly, but it growa iu fn-
vor, anu you soon iikc us ouu suape
and prim decoration. There is no bus
piciou of gildlng or ornato work about
this Worcester. The scallops of the
diihea nud platca m&y be cdged about
with green, or they may be left plain,
and tho ono pattern of flowcrs sprayed
over tbo surfaco is iu rigid, set
bouquets, with nevtr a leaf or tendril
straying out fioni tho main buncb.
Tho colors uted aro wbat aro called
strong, imturul colors, real reds, undc-
viating Dlucs, undoubted purplcs and
greene. There is no nlending. Every-
thing is Btilf, act and prim on a luster-
Icbs burface, yot thia china makes the
uligrecd latt ce-work anddelicate color
ing of the sbiuing French porcclain
look common and overdone. At least
tbia ia what you think after the new
old Eugliab type has grown on you nnd
