TTASHISUT05 LETTER.
" (From our regular correspondent.)
Washixgtos, August, 4 188. ;
The public buildings of Washing
ton are draped in mourning; literal
miles of black cambric are ; wound
around the marble colums . and fes
tooned from the - wide, windows of
Dublic edifices. A email number - of
private residences and a large num
ber of saloons are also hung in black.
Perfnnctory sorrow is lavish in ex
pression, and the department pre
sided over by the secretary , of the
interior, the "Rebel Lamar" excels
all others in tastf ulness and elabora
tion of funeral decoration.
There is a hackneyed latin maxim,
"Nil moriuis nisi bonus.'.' If the
last word were: Veritas. ) instead , or
bonus, the maxim would be good in
deed. A life Is eood . only for its
lesson and its bemficence. Death
cannot change the 'account. U ush
ing journalism is not history. - .
As a crener&l. Grant was success-
f ai. Of the sirrmlc truth that two
bayonets are stronger than one, and
that a powerful, well-equipped, and
constantly recruited army will over
come a weak, starvicie and dimin
ishing army, he availed himself to a
greater extent than did any other
general of the late war. . He was . at
the fore front when .the wearisome,
gastly struggle closed, and he bore
himself mrgnantmously toward tne
fallen. He will ever have the praise
of military successand he deserves
moreover, such admiration as is giv
en to the not uncommon phenome
non! of a kind heart.
Gen. Grant's faults', failures and
misfortunes were not of the heart,
but of - head.
Of all greatness, military greatness
is obtained with least expanse of In
tellect. The glory of the warrior is
the mqst vulgar of Ml glories, the
ksnost accidental, the easiest won and
ost. Military success is in over
coming physical Qhstaoles, and In it,
neither genius nor a "high order of
intellect Is required,, bnt simply
sensible application of dynamic for
ces. That military greatnes Is the
greatness which has always had the
outlest vulgar acclaim proves nolh
ne. The author of the "Poisened I
gum drop or the Candy Woman's !
Revenge," has more . readers than j
Bacon or Shakespeaie.
Gen. Grant's roQBtal wakhess be-
can situ apparent when the smoke
of the battle no longer oD3curea ana
idealized him. . After the war he be-
came tbe.tool of a corruptea ana i te i
dauched party, and ej, a presl-1
dent, fce. allowed a cltque ol semsn, j
vulgar, dishonest men to use him J
for the furtherance of their ambition
and greed. The presidency of Orant I
was the most disgraceful in, flr. at- j
ional annals i one. o his last official I
acts was to smooth the way, for the I
conspiracy1 and the usurpation which
deprived popular suffrage of
the I
ereatest victory it ever acmeyeq. YA
the electiofl of TiWen. ;
The grave . closes his . earthly
account, but it can no more obscure
his failings than his fame. Urant
was a brave, stubborn fighter, a nrin
friend, an indulgent father; it must
also be conceded that be was a weak,
unconstitutional, blundering states
man, so poor a mannger of the nat
ional household, that he liandcd tt
over corrupted and debnichiedt Q
one who na fight to receive it.
Admit also that lie displayed so iiiue
energy and intelligence in the man-
agement ox privat.e .uai u
. ... . . mm ' .L-a I. I
could scarcely ma vu,g uctu
the war, and that later he squander,
ed and wrecked .the cisetoe for-
m V ,n?D;

Ail, old physician, retired from
practice, having had placed in his
hands by an East India missionary
the formula of a simple vegetable
remedy for the speedy and perma
nent cure of consumption, bronchitis,
catarrh, asthma and all throat and
lung affections, also a positive and
radical cure for nervous, debility and
all nervous complaints, after having
tested its wonderful curative pow
ers in thousands of cases, has felt it
his duty to make it known to his suf
fering . fellows. .: Actuated .by this
motive and a desire to relieve human
suffering, I will send free of charge
to all who desire it this recipe, in
German, French or English, with full
directions for preparing, and using.

Printiso cloths are now. selliDg at
the lowest price ever known in the
history of American cotton manufac
tures. The production has .been
steadily curtailed, yet the dividends
declared by the great cotton mill
companies of the East are . cut down
to the lowest point short of absolute
loes . '
. Why 3Ioney Is Locked np. .
The real obstacle to enterprise and
the real weight that drags down
trade, both here and abroad, is the
gold standard. As Mr. Atkinson
truely enough say s, the doubt as to
whether the standard of vajue will
remain the same deters men from
making new investments. ." The gold
standard, instead of being fixed and
steady, has been risiug higher and
higher for the past ten years, and
accordingly prices of all kinds of
commodities have been falling.
Whatever a man ha9 bought or' "pro
duced, he has been obliged to sell
for a little less than it cost him, and
both trade and manufactures have
therefore been unprofitable. For all
that appears, gold will go on rising
and prices will go on . tailing for
some time to come, and until capital
ists can be assured that the bottom
has heeu reached they naturally pre
fer to wait.' Their gold dollars meas
ured la merchandise, are' growing
bigger and bigger all the while, and
they can gain more by sitting - still
than they can by going to work..
Conversely, the establishment of
the silver, dollar as the monetary
g jaorlapd wou ld break tnc deadlock
ftU(j cause trade to revive. For, while
g0i Das been rising in value silver
na9 kept company wHU th.e other
product q( hman, lgdvutFy-, and is
th,eeiaf a truer measure of thtir
value. The fall in prices would be
arrested, and men could" make
investment with a reasonable assur-
ance of profitable return?.

them. . 'Poorv fellow I it is said. the
has such a terrible temper," as if it
were some natural heritage and cal
amity, an accident over which the
man could not be expected to exer
cise control, a thing far more to be
pitied than to be blrmed. ' Men set
up a strangely lenient code of mor
als about bad temper. Men who
would be most properly indignant if
you -suspected them of untruth or
dishonesty. will quietly say, "I
know I have a bad temper," as com
placently as if they were "really re
vealing one of their hidden virtues.
Now, no man will seek to control his
temper unless he feels strongly that
it is his dnty to hold it in sway for
Christ's sake, and that uncontrolled
temper is a most serious sin in God's
signt. xx we orana evil temper as a
sin, to be removed by Uod's grace,
and as a weakness and disgrace to
ourselves, we shall then take the
first step towards true self control.
Some people f hmk - it virtuous to
say they have no temper. They
scarcely realize, in their love for
sweetness and amiability, that the
glory of man is royal warm-hearted
ness, not the passivity of the fish.
Sweet amiability which is too weak
for temper, will prefer peace to
righteousness, and out oa such in
difference any wrong may come to
be permitted. To be .without proper
temper is to be a moral shuttlecock,
making life a game in which the mot
to is"Hush!" and enjoyment any
how the pursuit. Courage and man
hood cannot live in such a nature.
False peace is bought to-day, to be
heavily mortgaged to-morrow, with
moral bankruptcy as the sure sequel.
In many a home, if the first neglect
or wrong had been kindly and wise
ly dealt with, and not passed over
for peace's sake, a career of ruin
might have been stopped, and boars
weary with sorrow been bright with
love. When a great and generous
heart sees weakness injured, and ex-
presses wholesome anger, it makes I
us feel safer to know there are such I
men. io feature of Christ s char-1
acter is more beautiful and solemn I
than his power of righteous indigna-1
lias. Christ lives with men in life's
battle, while Buddha only dreams.
Christ is the Master of life and is
never mastered by t. Temper con
trollednot either wearing the dress
of a false patience or resignation,
much less killed is - the Christian
ideal. The Quiver. -

for seven years he stiff erd terribly
from rheumatism in his ankle which
most of the time was swollen to two
or three times its natural size, and
was so. painful that he could not put
his foot to the ground. After trying
everything he eould think of without
obtaining relief, he' at ten o, clock one
morning applied Kt. Jacobs Oil, and
shortly afterwards made two further
applications. At three o'clock that
afternoon the pain waa cone ; the
swelling also, disappeared, and the
cure s as permanent, as it was

Anecdotes of Grant.
Gen. Grant has received the most
delicate and heartfelt sympathy in
bis ' illness and misfortunes from
some of the confederate officers and
soldiers who had known him in ,the
old army," said au intimate friend of
his the other day. "And appro pos
of this is an incident which occurred
last year. When the news of his
complete pecuniary collapse became
public there was a very general ex
pression of regret all over the coun
try and many offers of assistance
were tendered, none of which, how
ever, he accepted. " I was sitting
with him at his residence one morn-
n whUe be was goingover his daily
i m&il. when be looked up witn a cu-
Hons e-snression and said : 4I want
I TOU to listen to this.' and then he
i . . ...
i proceeded to read. - it was a letter
I from an old officer of the United
(States army whom Grant had known
I in Mexico, who left the service just
. Bae time that GrftHt dld.
. gabserjuentlv became ft distln-
. hcd conflate eeneral officer.

"Do you know who it
"Yes," he replied, "bat I cannot
give his name. He is a man 'of l&re
fortune and eotild easily have doao
it, but respecting his friend's wiah
Grant desired that his name should
not be made public - I have nsver
seen Gen. Grant show so much emo
tion and appreciation as he did in
this instance. Shortly after that
congress passed the bill empoweriag
the-president to retire a former gen-.
eral officer of the army on full pay,
and Grant was at ; once . nominated
and confirmed, and thus was put be
yond the need of availing himself of
the generous liberality of Lis
friends." '
There is reason to believe that tie
person who wrote Gen. Grast th
letter mentioned was - Gen. S. S.
Buckner, of Kentucky. '
Another case something very much
like this is said to. have beep done by
a Virginian who was a general oScr
in the confederate) arm y when very
young and bears a historic - name.
He requested a clergyman he knew
very well, also an intimate friend of
Grant's, to ascertain as delicately at
possible if the latter was really in fi
nancial straits. If he was he intend
ed to write to Grant and proffer th
loan of $5,000 which be had on hand
