Elizabeth L. Saxon In Memphis Appeal
"It was known to all that Sir Oalahad was
bravwtt and best of all the knight that graced
the table round, and be only saw the 11017
llrai!" Mort d' Arthur. . .-
They say he died in olden time,
Crowned with immortal glory;
Hearts have sighed, and even been wet '
Above this old, sweet story.
For m still lives Sir Oalahad ;
I see lilui, plain and common,
Eit at his desk and wield his pen,
Only a modern human.
For me he wears a wreath of bay.
No other even behold it;
He does not know that day by day
Sweet angel bands unfold it
Each hour thus given to patient toll,
When given for human loving,
Takes from man's soul a stain or soil,
'Neath heavenly eyes approving.
He walks lire's path with other men.
Unconscious of the splendor
That's shed about his nightly soul
In radiance warm and tender.
Mr heart springs forth to meet his own.
Not in your modern fashion.
But shrouded in the griefs I've known .
With naught of mortal passion.
I only know my Oalahad
lias seen the Holy Grail,
And, looking in his patient eyes,
How can my courage failf'
BfarrylnsTtheClrla the Baekwheat
tJtraw Principle.
We have said that men do not, as a rule,
figure conspicuously as matchmakers, nor do
tlioy ; but the judgment and policy exhibited
In this connection by a knowing old gentle
man of our acquaintance could hardly be sur
passed by the most accomplished tactician of
either sex.
"Brown," said a neighbor to him one day,
"I don't see bow it is tliat your girls all marry
off as soon as they get old enough, while none
of mine can marry."
"Obi that's simple enough," be replied; "I
marry my girls off on the buckwheat rtraw
principle.'
"But what principle is that? Never beard
of it before."
Well, I used to raise a good deal of buck
wheat and it puzzled me to know how to get
rid of the straw Nothing would eat it, and
it wan a great bother to me. At last I
thought of a plan. I stacked my buckwheat
straw nicely and built a high rail fence
around it. My cattle of course concluded
that it must be something good, and
at once tore down the fence and be
gan to eat the straw. I drove them away and
put up the fence a few times; but the more I
hunted them off the more anxious they bo
catuotoeat the straw; and eat it they did,
every bit of it. As I said, I marry my girls
on the same principle. When a young man
that I don't like begins to call on my girls I
encrourage him in every way I can. I tell
Lim to come often and stay as late as he
pleases; and I take pains to hint to tbe girls
that I think they'd better set their caps for
him. It works first rate. He don't make
many calls, for the girls treat him as coolly as
they can. But when a young fellow that I
liko conies around a man that I think would
suit me for a son-in-law, I dont let htm make
many calls before I give him to understand
that he isn't wanted about my house. I tell
tbe girls, too, that they shall not have any.
thing to do with him and give them orders
never to spoak to him again. The plan al
ways works exactly as I wish. The young
folks begin to pity and sympathize with each
other; and tbe next thing I know is that they
are engaged to be married. When I see that
they are determined to marry I of course
givo in and pretend to make the. host of it.
That's the way 1 manage it."
Th aian With the, Hollow Place.
"Gath," in New York Tribune.
John Todd, son of the war governor of
Ohio, is considerable of a wag. About once
a week he has a "stag" card party at his
bouse in Cleveland, and the same circle of
friends meet together, and practical jokes
are in order. Among these is a young mer
chant' who has made a respectable fortune
and is wisely about to retire at the age of
forty, so as to give his time to reading, phil
osophy, and friends. On the card
party night it' was the method of
this friend to prepare himself for tbe abund
ant supper that was always served. He took
no dinner on that day and but a little lunch,
and therefore his good appetite was remarked
and incited these wags to a scheme. As
Cannon came to the party on a particular
evening the host remarked that his cook had
gone away and the steward had met with an
accident, and that there unfortunately was
nothing to eat but bread and cheese.
Brother Cannon, who had a large hollow
place in his bread-basket, thereupon philos
ophicaly fell to the the bread and cheese, not
observing that the plate was pushed to him
frequently, and as the cards performed their
part game after game, he stowed away about
a pound of cheese and the same weight of
crackers, staying bis appetite, though some
what differently from his preconceptions.
Suddenly, when it was observed that he
would have no more cheese or crackers, the
door of tbe dining-room flew open and there
was disclosed quail on toast, sweetbreads with
peas, pate de f oie gras, and tbe most delicious
things in the market. Tbe others, who had
played off on the crackers and cheese, raised
a loud roar of laughter as they walked In
and overwhelmed tbe guest, already full, with
supplications to eat.

"Graveyards, young man graveyards. If
you kin git into a new town and buy tbe only
piece of rolling ground in tbe neighborhood j
you're dead sure of selling out fur a grave- I

sold out seventeen graveyard sites during my
lifetime, and have doubled on each one.
Wheat is all right and hay Is all right, but
pick fur rolling ground and hold it fur a

PAST AND PRESENT.
Julia C. R. Dorr.
This age is wise with wisdom slowly culled.
And men, grown bold like well-trained
hunters, leap
From crag to crag of truth with sight un
dulled, O'er precipices steep. .
But when our fathers trod the level plains,
The stars shone brightly in .the . gentle
streams, -
The rainbow arched above the summer rains,
And sleep brought happy dreams.
The world is rolling swift and far away
- From morning mists and early morning
light, - 1 -- " -And
in the f nllness of the middle day .
' No shadows meet the sight'
But reaching from that soft and shifting sky
. Of early dawn a radiant pathway shone.
And angels in tbe morning ventured nigh,
Who in the morn are gone !
.-. Grant on CRlea Habits.
Brooklyn Eagle.
. A well-known Republican leader in one of
the upper wards of the city said to me yester
day: "I do not know of anything so odd as
Grant's horror of politics. I speak, of course,
from the standpoint of rather an humble poli
tician, as in my work I deal with a small
branch of the nartv. and do the work that is
laid out for me by tbe. big leaders. ',; Grant .
knows me well enough, for I did a good
deal of work for him once In a small way,
and the old man always makes it point to
speak to ma Very often he dees not see
me. but when I walk up -and say: 'How
00 yen 00. eeneralT" be invarlabrv caua
me oy my ncnt name ana stops to cci8
pleasantly. But be wont talk about
politics, except In a general way.
In fact, I might say he wont talk about
tbem at all; for I have not been able to get
hkn to express an opinion of any sort on lo
cal political matters for Are years or more. X
met him tome time ago after be bad just re
turned from a tour through the west, and I
chatted with him for over half an hour. He
talked with great animation about his west
ern trip, and was particularly Impressed with
tbe : American goaheaditivenees of such
places as Chicago and Cincinnati- He said
hi Chicago men live at a faster rate than In
New York even. Their hours of business are
much longer, and their hours for recreation
proportionately less. They are forever on
the go, and tbe brokers and active young
business men seem running irom morning
to night. They take their recreation at
the clubs In a red-hot and steaming
manner, entirely ' foreign to the placid
loafing of New Yorkers. The general
said when a Chicago man goes to his club
he seldom thinks of sitting down for a quiet
smoke or a leisurely perusal of an evening
paper. He talks excitedly with all his fel
lows about the closing quotations, or any sub
ject of financial importance that may be be
fore him for a little while, ana a lew minutes
later be is over a card table or playing a game
of billiards for a pretty , high stake. Uen.
Grant mentioned incidentally the way busi
ness men in Chicago drink brandy and soda
If we took that drink here as they do out
west it would knock half of us off our pins in
no time. Grant says that instead of serving
a small glass of brandy and a whole bottle of
soda to be diluted with it, as is tbe case here,
In Chicago they fill the glass three-quarters
full of brandy and pour just enough water in
it to thoroughly stir up the liquor. That
makes a pretty stiff drink, ehf
A Street Car Kpbvode.
Detroit Free Press.
The other day a- young lady, neatly and
fashionably dressed, got on a Cass avenue car,
paid her fare, and sat down. A demure lit
tie smile lurked at each corner of her pretty
mouth, and diminutive blushes chased each
other up and down her peach-like cheeks, yum
yum and she tapped the iiwen.- ..ungrate
ful floor of car No. 8 with a fairy boot. There
she sat like a porcelain dish of strawberries
and cream till the car was comfortably fun,
and then she inclined her beautiful head
toward her left shoulder to glance athwart a
blonde mustache belonging to a gentleman
near, when there occurred one of those thril
ling epochs of history which so often repeat
themselves. Suddenly straightening herself
out she screamed, nay, she yelled, and turned
black in the face, while in successive shrieks
the memorable words fell from her lips:
"Take it off 1 , Take it off 1"
Then just as suddenly she collapsed into her
normal condition, only that from time to
time she laughed hysterically with inward
convulsions. - .
"It is decalcomania," said one lady. She
probably meant dipsomania, but was flus-
trated.
"Such a fuss about nothing," said another.
"If it had been a bear it couldn't have
made her scream worse."
"What was it, anyway?" asked another
snakes!"
"Naw, nothing but one of those harmless
tin spiders on her shoulder stuck it there
herself and then forgot it. Did you ever see
any one so silly?"
"Well, I should smile."

ing instructions from Lord William Beres
ford, for whom it was intended as a present.
When the cub came to the station for dis
patch, it evinced such docility that the sta
tion master ordered it put into the break-van,
where it was the object of much attention,
being petted and fondled by the guard and
ticket collector. The train - started,
and soon afterward there was a great uproar
in the van. The shaking and oscillation of
the train had displaced the bars of the cub's
cage, and "youthful stripes" was playing
high jinks among the luggage. Tbe unfor
tunate guard, who was greatly alarmed, hid
himself in the corridor of the van, where he
eventually fainted from exhaustion and ter
ror. After the arrival of the train at How
ran, it was three days, owing to its violence
and desperation through hunger, before the
young tiger could be secured.
(ien. Crook; as a Jtoy.
New York World.
Gen. Bob Schenck left yesterday for Co
bo urg, greatly regretting that his engage
ments prevented him from awaiting the ar.
rival of Gen. Crook, whom he sent to West
Point when . a boy from near Dayton, O.
Talking to a reporter about Crook and his ap
pointment, he said: -
"I had looked over the district to find a
bright lad to nominate to West Point. I
finally remembered that 'Squire Crook, a fine
old Whig farmer and friend of mine, had two
boys, and sent word for him to come to town.
He came in, and I inquired if be had a spars
boy he'd like to send off to West Point.
' "After studying awhile he said he did not
know but be bad. I suggested that he send
him in. The boy sent was exceedingly un
communicative. - He had not a stupid look,
but was quiet to reticence. He did not seem
to have the slightest interest or anxiety about
my proposal. I explained to him the require
ments and the labors or the military schools,
and finally asked him: Do vou think voucan
conquer all that? His monosyllabic reply
was Til try. : And so I sent him, and became
through fairly. "
A SVUHO "EDITRESS.
Cow a Lady Kan a Paper and Kalsed
a Family.
The New Orleans Picayune has the f ollow
ng interesting particulars of the career of
Mrs. Harriet N. Prewett, who was born in
Stillwater, New York, and educated in the
Willard Seminary at Troy. In a tiny, cozy
little cottage in Yazoo City, Miss., lives the
first real newspaper woman in this country.
Wisteria vines climb over the windows and
low doorways, and magnolia trees cast grace
ful shadows over the wide, worn porches.
Here in this quiet house lives Mrs. Harriet N.
Prewett, the oldest newspaper woman in this
country. In 1843 Mrs. Prewett was left a
widow, the most important of her possessions
being three little children and a weekly new
paper, The Yazoo City Whig, afterwards the
Banner. For more than fourteen years Mrs.
Prewett was editress, proprietor, news editor,
agent, bookkeeper, and mailing clerk for her
spunky little paper. She also kept house,
saw that things were tidy at home, and did
tbe sewing and patching and mending and
knitting for her three children. Her edi
torials were strong and fearless, and exer
cised strong influence in Mississippi politics.
Mrs. Prewett held out as long as. she could
against the extreme measure of secession ; but
when she " did haul down her Union flag
she became one of the boldest, bravest de
fenders of the southern cause. ' At one time
Mrs. Prewett had an editorial tilt with Mrs.
Swisshelm, who was then . running a
paper in Massachusetts, regarding the
respective merits of their babies. At another
time a Jackson (Miss.) editor, intending to
be sarcastic, invited the editress of the Ban
ner to put on her breeches and come over to
Jackson and run the legislature, she having
criticized some of the acts of the members.
The editress retorted that if the Jackson ed
itor would put on his breeches and come over
to Yazoo city, he would be received by two
little boys one 8 and tbe other 10 years old
who would hang a leather medal about his
neck as an I. O. U. for a sound whaling, to
be administered as soon as they were grown
old enough to do It. . Mrs. Prewett's was tbe
first paper in the country to : announce ; the
name of Millard Fillmore for the presidency.
This brave, hard-worked woman used to take
her sewing to the office with her, and when
interrupted ' by the proverbial fiends that
haunted newspaper offices, even before the
war, she would lay aside her pen and sew or 1
knit VhiX taHjjqg.jq as rjiftjo Jojg grtf
Finazy, a tr3 vrcruz 1 rrczam e
way, and sLe became a h!pUss iiivall. For
twenty years she has been tied hand and foot
to an Invalid's chair, whence, with an eye aa
keen and a mind as bright as It was when ed
itress ot a dashing, influential paper, she
I looks out on the world, in which she has al
j ready accomplished her life's work. In her
own room walls and ceilings are deftly cov
ered with the pictures cut from illustrated
papers ten years in tbe history of the picto
rial publications of this country are traced
upon the walls. Mrs. Prewett is a bright,
cultivated woman. In her day she was one
of the most beautiful women in the south, and
was sought for her womanly graces as well
as for her brilliant intellect. To-day she is a
graceful writer, and occasionally : dainty
poems, like white-winged ' birds, flutter out
into the newspaper world from her little
home in the peaceful Yazoo valley.

Morosini is probably the best, most accom
plished, and most versatile reception com
mittee in the country. He is cordial or for
mal, communicative or know-nothing, diplo
matic or abrupt, uncertain or decisive, as tho
occasion may require. At' heart he Is most:
genial; physically he is a- superior person,
partly because be is abstemious and takes ex
cellent car of himself.- He gives his heart
good leeway, and if the occasion should re
quire it he can wield a very able arm. He is
good-natured to tbe extent of being a humor
ist, and one who can never resist an oppor
tunity for a practical joke. His latest di
version bas been with tbe scores of letters
that Mr. Gould gets begging for invitations
to accompany him ou bis trip around the
world in the Atalanta. They come from all
sorts of people. Some want work on tbe
yacht, and others make all sorts of claims.
Women, whose designs are evident from their
letters, inclose their photographs.. So do al
leged scientific persons,' servants and com
panions. The facetious Morosini mixes up
tho letters and photographs so that the con
nection between the two will be most incon
gruous, and forwards them to Capt Sbackf ord,
of the Atalanta. ' The first batch, with a re
quest that be pass upon the applications,
threw the worthy captain Into a state of mind
from which be has not yet fully recovered.
Morosini more than any one else attends to
Mr. Gould's private affairs. He also renders
efficient service to his chief in his corporate
undertakings. He Is a thorough expert ac
countant, especially conversant with the
methods of railroad bookkeeping, having spent
many years in that department of tbe Erie
railroad, of which company he was at one
time tbe auditor. It was here that Mr. Gould
found him, and he la one of the few who
stuck to Mr. Gould during all tbe Erie com
plications. He is now enjoying his reward.

"Yes, shell be home about the 20th, I
reckon." . .
"And your son graduates alsef
"Oh, yes; he'll come borne about the same

"And what are they going to do?"
"Well," said the old roan, thoughtfully, "I
don't just exactly know what they do want
to drive at, but Marthy, she writes that she
wants to continue her art studies on -the
continent so I think I'll just send her to
Greece in the dairy and let her do a little
plain modeling In butter, and Sam, he says

A Kentncklan's S vmmer - Wardrobe.
Ramsdell in Philadelphia Press.
I saw Congressman Joe Bluckburn yester
day, and asked him about'' the paragraph
that is on its rounds about his summer ward
robe that his daughter is said to have sent
htm. He laughed, and said it had a grain of
truth in it , He said, he left home for a day
or two only, and took only a small bag with
him. The consolidation of. internal revenue
districts brought him unexpectedly to Wash
ington. , He at once telegraphed home to
have a trunk of clothes sent to him here.' His
little daughter, in tbe absence of her mother,
opened the dispatch, and thought it her duty
to obey it ' So she packed a trunk and put a
note in it, as follows: . . . .
"Versailles. Kt. Dear Papa: I send
you all tho clothes I can find, and I hope you
are well." -. .
Mr. Blackburn said that the trunk con
tained the following: -Seven
white shires, ;
Six winter scarfs,
One tooth-brush, ' ,
One bowie-knife,' ' "
Two revolvers.
This is what a Kentucky girl regards as a
suitable ""T"T",r wardrobe for a gentleman
Mr. Blackburn, -who is a charnung gentle
man, notwithstanding his bluster in the
house, laughs as heartily over tbe incident 1
as any of bis friends.
