Grant and Hi Old Fri'-nl.
Gratitude fills no small space in a
fine character. Indeed, it is indispen
sable to a . complete character, and
round the whole emotional nature,
this trait was notably conspicuous lu
General Grant, and it has seldom been
more touchingly Illustrated than by a
ntory of him, which the Kansas City
Btar prints.
Prior to the Civil War Grant was
living near St. Louis, In the most
humble circumstances. Although a
graduate of West Point, and soldier
by Instinct as well as by education, he
tu then dally engaged In selling and
delivering cord wood to whosoever
would boy. Among his many custom
en was a man of wealth and social
itandlng, Samuel Churchill, a native of
Kentucky, who often told Grant that
rhen be failed to sell to others he
night drive his load to his woodshed,
pbnw it ttt aud call for his pay the
est day.
The two men became well acquaint
ed. Grant always delivered good
wood, full measure, and Churchill be
ntse being prompt and liberal In his
paymenta, extended to, his neighbor
paay hospitalities which were ac
'tM tad appreciated.

Some years after the surrender of
General Iee, Churchill, whoite prop
erty had been confiscated and sold, rs
turned home to Kentucky to begin bis
life anew. As he passed lhroui;u
Washington, be felt it hi duty and
pleasure to call upon GraDL He ap
proached the White House with soiue
apprehension, however, not knowing
how he would be received. If Indeed,
he would be received at ail.
He did not fully know his old frieud.
The reception room was filled with
Senators, Congressmen and others, all
awaiting their turn to be called Into
the President's room, yet as soon as
Churchill's name was read, be came to
the door hiin-Jf and invited Churchill
in.
The door was cloani between them
and the outside crowd, and the Presi
dent told the servant to notify the
other that he could not see them for
halt an hour. For au instant Church
ill did Dot know what was tu become
of blm; thoughts of prison, expatria
tion, and other punishments for trea
tou, rushed through bis brain; theu be
beard the President speaking cordial
ly, almost affecthxiately:
"Sam, how are you? Sit down aud
have a smoke. You used to give me
the best Havana wht n I could not
buy; now I want to Mum some of
your past favors. Do you want any
thing? Have you money? lo you
want an office? Can I be of service to
you !fi ar.y way? I think more of
those who were my friend when I
was poor and helpless, w ith a growing
family on my bands, thau 1 do of all
such time servers now sfaiiding on
the outside waiting to press me for
places."
Churchill was overcome by Grant's
genorous warmth, but he raid;
"I am a rebel, fresh from the con
federate array, and I have too b'tf.i sn
opinion of you as our conqueror, aud
as my old time friend lo auk any fa
vors at your band. I accept nothing
that would embarrass you wKh your
own parly. I have no right to Ki
anything. I IiJ nit com.' here for that
purpose. I only came hi re to sec
what changes. If any, had come over
my old friend."
"I care nothing for that," replied
the President, simply. "There arc ob
ligations stronger than pditlcs. and
blither ties than the recollection of an
unfortunate war. Think 11 over. Sun.
until evening. Theu come and dine
with Mrs. Grant and me. If you want
Democratic talk, she and her father.
General Dent, will give you all your
heart desires. I promise you that I
will not break up the treasonable
camp."
Both men are dead, the Southern
gentleman and the great soldier. Each
was a friend to the other when time,
were rough, and both have left bright
memories of manly generosity which
sprang from good hearts.

Wearers of the blue and the gray
alike were brave la daring the fire of
the enemy to save or succor wounded
comrades. One would hardly expect,
however, to find the Instances numer
ous of nfederates who risked their
lives for a negro, but the Osceola Dem
ocrat cites one moving instance.
George Macdonald, one of the few
colored Confederate veterans in his
State, was wounded at Wilson's Creek,
where a minie ball plowed through his
hip and a buckshot struck him lu the
face. He lay groaning ujmn the ground
when he was found by Owen Snuffer,
lieutenant of his company. For Snuffer
the negro had all the affection a pet
slave lavished upm his master, and the
muster knew it
Tin? white man bent down, exam

stanched the flow of blood from them
Tin; wounded man, as soon as he could
speak, begged for water. The lieuten
ant's canteen was empty, but midway
between the firing lines was a well.
To reach it was to become th target
of sharpshooters, but the groans of his
black friend moved the lieutenant
deeply, and he determined to take
chances.
He pushed forward under fire until
the well was reached. And then he
discovered that the bucket had been
taken "away and the windlass removed.
The well was . an old-fashioned
walled one of groat depth. After an
instant's thought Lieutenant Snuffer
pulled off his long cavalry boots, and
taking one In his teeth he made a slow
and laborious descent of the well.
When water was reached and the boot
filled he began climbing up the sann
way he had gone down, straddling tho
well and clutching with hands and feet
at the rocky walls.
Ueachlng the surface, he picked up
the other boot, and crawled and wrig
gled back to the Confederate lines.
He gave the negro as much water ai

OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
The Caress.
ISPLAYl of affuclion among members of fam
ilies are largely matters of temperament. The
members of some families never meet or part
without ardent demonstrations of love which
are delightful to tiieut-seive and pleasing to
every sensible observer. Who can witness,
without a arming of the heart, the cries of
D
Joy, aud the embrace with which children welcome the
return of father or mother from a temporary absence, or
the affectionate parting and meeting of husband aud wife?
A ierMn w ho find", in this proper display of pure family
affection only an occasion fur ridicule Is to be pitied. There
are other families, however, in which outward demonstra
tion of love are alnl never mh-u. The members of such
families reserve auy show of affection for extraordinary
occasions when the deepen! feelings of the heart are
stirred, and even when betrayed into an exhibition of their
love, have a feeling of shame as If they had shown a weak
side of their nature. There is no reason to suppose that
the love of these persons for their family and friends is
not as strong and deep as that cherished by those who are
more demonstrative, and they would without doubt do
as much In case of need for their comfort and pleasure.
The repression of the expression of feeling is peculiarly
an American vice. The aetious of many foreigners when
even slightly moved seem tu us extravagant and amusing.
We cover our deepest emotions with a joke and a lauh.
Kjt (hose who are so chary of (1 uplays of proper emotion
rob themwlvcg of much pleasure. While demonstrations
of love among friend- may so so far as to be ludecorotu
or Insincere, reasonable exhibitions of affection are both
proper and pleasurable. Especially repression by any one
of a show of love from a child or a companion is a cruel
blow at one of the sweetest and most ppfious things in
life, sim-ere affection In the heart of a friend. The Watchman.
The Spirit of Tolerance.
li would fain believe that men are v- a.g
more tolerant of each other's opinions, political,
religious and otherwise. In our own country,
it least, it is easy to discover a growing dispo
itlou to minimize differences of belief atid to
:it)d for the beti rment of mankind. Coleridge
somewhere sav that thi-re are errors which
w
kni. i-
No wise man will treat with rudeness, while there is a
isMbllity that there may be the refraction of some great
trill li as yet below the horizon.
Sir Thomas I'towne, a sectarian of the strictest order,
rejoices that he mver divided himself "from any man
upon a difference of religious opinion." It is only by the
iee,,-iiit(,) of the manhood beneath the opinions, preju
dices, preconceptions, perhaps mifuftneeptious, wl'.h which
we invest ourselves that we can dwell together happily in
this world.
Our opinions may come frotu birth and early environ
ment, and may nut be the result of Inquiry, study and
conviction, however firmly one may believe that we have
worked out the problem for ourselves. We should, there
fore, extend the greatest charity to those who refuse to go
our way. Bishop Taylor, writing on friendship and gen
eral benevolence, observes that e good man is a friend to all
the world, and he Is not truly charitable that does not wish
well and do good to all mankind In what be can. This
all-embracing friendship, benevolence and tolerance over
leaps the confines of sects, creeds, parties and social dis
tinctions. It emanates from the Deity. "The greater our
friendships are, the dearer we are to God." We do not
all attain this catholicity of friendship, for we are im
perfect beings at best, but we should strive for It. Were
the world Imbued with this spirit. It would be transformed,
and oppression, poverty, a thousand woe would be re
moved. Philadelphia Ledger.

fast Train Operation Means.
HEN the "Twentieth Century UuiiW" train
recently made a run on the Lake Shore Kail
road of 133.4 milcv f:ou Toledo to L'lkhart lo
114 minutes, probably uc.e of the passengers
'ave a thought to the real meaning of such a
magnificent speed performance. la order to
accomplish the feat a speed of fully K, miles
per hour had to be maintained for considerable portions of
the distance. With a modern passenger train such peed
can be attained with safety only when roadbed, track,
equipment, discipline of employes and other operating con
dition are about as perfect as human skill can make them.
The train consisted of six Pulliuars, each weighing 55
tons, or a total of 3.'!0 tons, one combli il'iu baggage car
weighing 30 uus and a iocomorlve 135 tons. To hurl a
mass w eighing a total of 4H5 tons, or lr.S).(Kj pounds, along
steel rails weighing only h5 poumis tj 'he yard means a
sustained shock of tremendous force, and a strain to track
and roadbed which wotitJ search out the slightest weakness
or defect.
One revolution of the engine drivers, which were 81
Inches In diameter, carried the train forward aljout seven
yards. In ruimlug one mile tiie piston rod must go back
ward and forward '.'47 times. A ifpecd of K5 uiilcs per
hour means nilbs )kt mlunte, so that the piston rod
would have to go back and forth, and the large driven
revolve six times eaeh second, which is almost loo rapid
for the eye to follow. Experiments have Miown that a
train weighing as many tons as the 'Twentieth Century
Limited," when miming at the rate of 85 miles per hour,
cannot be brought to a stop within ,'i.OUO feet.
An "emergency" stop would be very likely, therefore,
to mean disaster to such a tram, and only perfectly opera

insure the train against such t-i.-ps. When it is rcaliz.-d

What Constitutes Riches?
HE New York Times has been printing the
ideas of many contributors given as answers to
the question: When may a man in New York
City be considered rich? The notion of rlcnes
is always a variable one. The question related
to the amount of money one must have to be
reckoned a rich man according to New York
standards. Well, New York standards are various. To
some $100,000, to others $500,000, to others a million or
ten millions seems necessary. One's Idea of riches de
pends largely on bis ideas of luxury; that Is, of what
would seem luxury to him, the power to satisfy all his
wauttf. But wants grow with the ability to supply them.
There is always something beyond the present power of
acquisition that seems desirable. Most men refuse to
admit that they are so rich that they desire no more.
Itlcbes might be defined as something more than one baa
As might be expected, there are the usual philosophical an
swers, as. for example, "good health, freedom from debt
and anxiety, and tastes corresponding to one's income."
This is a definition of happiness rather than of riches.
