The Philadelphia Lodger publishes by permission the snbsUnco of remarks made by General Sheridan nt a dinner party In Washington recently , In which ho said : "It Is ad to think of Gen. Grant dying under such physical torture as Is inflicted by his terrible disease , and nndor such mental anguish as 1 know ho suffers in consequence of the unfortunate business [ allure that overwhelmed him nnd his family. I could never comprehend why the old ( nil old soldlora call General Gran the 'old man1) ) went Into business am particularly why ho set himself up ii Wall street. From the time ho Imblbec this business notion I bavo alway thought General Grant was off hla baao and had lost that abundance of caution that had characterized all his previous movements. I listened to his talk abou making money In perfect amazement Ho imiglnod that ho had a Ulont fo : Baking money and that his sons possessoi the talent to a remarkable degree. Ho seemed never to tire of talking about this when we wore so situated us to bo frei from Interruption , and when wo coulc talk with freedom of bygone days. 'Now 1 know very well that Gonerra 3rant did not poaicai the talent or gon- UB for making niouojr. His nature it .00 generous and contidlng for tint. His talent In connection with money was lu an opposlto direction and caused him to ; ot clear of It In a very short timo. Ho could never keep money before ho sot up n Wall street and you know lu Is a very jrlgbt fellow who can keep money aftoi 10 gets there. Whst most surprised mo , however , was that the old man should talk so much about this newly discovered talent. Ho talked persistently - ontly and Grant always talked well when ho fell free to talk about nccumu- atlng a largo fortune , and I noticed his earnestness of manner. I sometimes thought that I underrated him in this particular. Still , I could not entirely Itvcst myself of the apprehension I felt on his account and his very persistency and earnestness added to my foara. "Why I never know Grant to talk about the great abilities whih ho had lossossed and whloh the world has recog- ilzed. Nobody over hoard him talk about his great military talent or boast about his splendid nchiovmonta in the lold and yet Grant know of hla extraor dinary abilities , in this direction before ills successful movements , and the bril liant decisive results that attended them showed him this. Indeed General Grant lad a greater talent for conducting cam paigns and fighting armies than ho was raally aware of. Nobody , however , over icard him talk about what ho possessed n this direction. "The simple fact that ho descanted tome mo with so much oarnestneis and fre quency on his supposed money making alotita raised a suspicion In my mind hnt his previously strong mental forces wcro breaking up and that ho was rapidly moving away from his previous well established lines of providence and safety. " Linter in the evening Sheridan spoke of , bo reluctance with whish General Grant iad loft the army to become president of the United Statoa. "You have seen a statement , " said ho , "to the effect that the old man hid plans to secure the nomination for the presi dency In 1808. There Is no foundation for auch stttements , and I know whereof I speak. I know what his feelings and ' i desires were at that time touching his 'allure. Io wanted above all things to remain with the army , which ho loved aid whoso idol ho waa and still in , and he ind no ambition whatever to become Drcaidenr. Ho doubted his ability to discharge the duties of president. But above all ho had no taste or inclination 'or political offices. " Valuable Mediclii" . Dr. W. U. PAUNELEE , Toledo , O. , says : "I have prcscrlbad the 'add' in a largo variety of diseases , and have been amply satisfied that it is a valuable addi tion to our Hat of medical agents. " Railroad Autocracy. Springfield Republican , The lease of the Central Pacific rail road to a now credit campiny called the Southern Pacific , chartered by the state of Kentucky , is an extraordinary in stance of the autocratic management of railroad properties. Hero is & lease overnight by the manacjcra of a great railroad system , sustaining 8180,000,000 of stock and debt , and operating thousands of miles of railroad. The Central PaciQo ii the woatern half of the Brat and original Pacific railroad , corresponding pending to the Union Pacifie or eastern half. It was built by the California men , Ilimtinglon , Stanford and Crocker , who pushed iti construction with great en- erg j , but reaped enough from the gov ernment subsidy practically to pay its cost , notwithstanding the property palct for some years U per cent upon $60,000- 000 of capita ! clock , mostly water. Those dividends have been suspended the past year , although the read has earned some millions not , on the ground that Heating debt and the dues to the government required attention. The same capitalists built the Southern Pacific railroad in California , extending it across the continent to meet the Texas Pacific. Now they suddenly float a vast credit company , called iho Southern Pa cific , like tha Oregon Transcontinental , and transfer to It the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific and their collateral lines , In all eleven companies. The lea see pays In addition ta the running ex penses government duos , aud fixed charges at least $1,200,000 a year to the Central Pacific , which Is considerably lean than it earned not the past year. Of COUMO Stanford , Duntington and Crocker all regard the lease as * 'a good tiling , and answer all questions with the statement that they are the largest hold- era of Central Pacific stock. This sort of assurance has , however , become some what stale. The investigating public bavo ditcovored that large holdings of stock are no guaranties whatever of sue cessful management. Big head some times goes with big investment , and big risk Is a sure passenger In the same boat. Gould and Dillon were largo holders of Union Pacific and their constant assur ance to the investigating publio was , "You carry Cwiar. " Noverthelesi the generalpubllcwerejdrownod out and voted Ciuiar a very poor navigator. The fact is , autocratic management of railroad properties dees not vindicate it self. MeisrsjnunUuRton , Crocker and SUnford are overworking the policy of ruyttertnut audacity upona publio already sick to death of this very thing. Railroad management on every hand Is pretending to a grandeur of wisdom which the re sults totally fall to justify. In this country and abroad , It if 111 be years be * fore the Investigating publio will recover confidence in the ability of large stosk- holder * to look out for the interests of the corporations they assume to manage. It remains to bo seen whether this now arrangement will disiovor the relations of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific at Ogden. The former would have an outlet to the coast through Oregon , and round by sea , The Central Pacific would control absolutely ovary rail in California and every landward approach to San Francisco. The Central Pacific has no natural geological relations with tha Southern Pacific , and will have no valuable connection to the east unless it acquires ono across Utah to Danvor , where U might unite with the latest ri vals to the Union Pacific. The only road now connecting Salt Lalco and Denver is the Danver and Ulo Grande , narrow- gauge. The advantiges of the now ar rangement for the Central Pacific , either in operation or competition , are not ap parent. To bo sure , the lease places un der ono management the Southern Pa cific line from the Gult ports , and oven from Norfolk , Va , to San Francisco , but oven the California syndicate can scarcely afford to let the Central Pacific lie without buslncsf , In order to carry freight much farther around , The Southern Pacific company , by the way , Is said to have $100,000,000 , but that is easily made up on paper by adding to- gather the stockholders' holdings of stocks and bonds.

G , "Soltlitl Good gracious , what cans'd yon to do that ? " S. S. G. Well , they are bocom. liig altogether too common , the missus lias just bought herself one. " "How much it coata to keep a servant jlrl" is a question now being debated in the papers. Our experience is that if there ia no crockery In the house which she can break , and no friendly policeman with whom she can share the cold mut ton and the family beer , it is as cheap to keep a servant girl as it Is to Ivo in a parlor suite and to have your meals sent in from the hotel. The new servant girl came to her mis tress crying and holding ou to her linger. "What is the matter ? " asked the lady of the house. "I run ono of the forks into my baud and if it is the plated stun" I'll ' qot lockjaw. " "Don't bo alarmed , " , ; said the mistress , all my silver la genuine. I don't keep any plated ware.

The vessels will bo named La Champagne , L Bourgcgno , Li Brctagno , and La GaBgoguo. La Cham pagne will bo ready first. The vessels are constructed under the French subsidy law , and must , consequently , bo fashion ed of French iratorlals and able to main tain a speed of seventeen knots an honr. Their dimensions will ba 520 feet In length and 150 foet'beam. Their tcnago will be 7,000 tons bach and S000 ; horse power. Mr. Louis do Beblan , tha gen eral agent of the line , said yesterday that the vessels would ba decorated by Mr. Allard , the best decorator in Paris , who decorated Mr. Vandorbilt'a house on Fifth avenue , and would bo very fast. So far as comfort and decorations were con cornnd , the vessels would bo aa fine H any that came t > Una port , and tbo French style In which their Interiors wera constructed r/onld bo something that had not been seen bore before. The steam ships which were , of course , named alter old provinces of Franco , being made under tbo French subsidy law , could be called on for use as government vessels In cuso of need.

An Unruly Engine , An accident oscurred on the Rome & Dalton road , near Selma , G . , the other day , which will confirm old engineers In their belief that their big machines are endowed with intelligence. The Atlanta Constitution tolls the story thua ; An engineer wa running a switch engine , wlion ho encountered n freight train. The men sprang from the cabs , and the engines went at each other. No serious damage waa done , bat the switch engine's lover was reversed , and as soon as she steadied she began to back. Being light , she moved off quickly , before the engin eer could got on , and In a moment the ' astonished man of the throttle saw his machine whizzing out of sight In the di rection of Solma. Six miles out an en gineer of a north-bound freight saw the runaway engine bearing down on him flying down a stoop gr do with a foil head of steam on and making about fifty miles an hour. Ha reversed and sprang from his engine , laving his life , but re ceiving sotno palnfol bruises. Thus three engines were damaged. The en gineer of the switch engine was dumfounded - founded by the freak of his engine. An Uncertain Kelntion. Hartford Tost.

Regarding these renowned Uoat- ing Islands or gardens , the reader can form a correct idea of them from the following lines written upon the subject by a distinguished English traveler : "When a tract of vegetation oompoiod of roods , water plants and bushes , iutor- woven nnd laced together , becomes so dense that it will boar a superstructure , strips of turf 20 to 30 yards long , are cut from some suitable firm place , lloatod down the canal and laid upon It ; this is repeated several times , and thua an is land is securely raised two or three foot above the level of the water ; a little soil la spread over it , and It becomes a chlnainpa , or Heating garden , on which Indian corn , vegetables and flowers are crown. The gardens vary In slzo from 100 to 200 feet In length , and from 20 to 100 feet In width , according to the na ture of the vegetation which supports them. " To secure those pardons In their proper places long willow poles are driven through them Into the ground below , where they soon take root. The poles poles also throw out roots Into the beds of the floating gardens , and so hold them steady. Wo took a line of street cars and were landed near on' old Spanish bridge , alongside of which wo fouud a number of miserable flat-boats covered with awn * inga , with a seat on each sldo covered with red calico. Wo hold our noses ns well as our breath. Upon leaving the city the canal is lined on both sides with boiutifnl trees of the species of Hip weep ing willow , only that they are quite toll. The City Gate or local Custom housa is then passed. Here are to bo seen many boats laden with lumber , firewood , vege tables , Irnlt , flower , etc. , waiting to pay toll. A largo daily revenue Is derived from this source by the government , The stalwart Indians swiftly polo the boat np the stream for about ton minutes more , and Santa Anita ia reached. This Is an old Indian village , which has un- iorgono few or no changes for the last 300 years , If wo except the publio school 'or boys and glrlt , aud a small church , [ t is a favorite pleasure resort for the in habitants of Mexico , specially during the summer months , and la rendered doubly attractive by the numerous chlnampas or loatlcg gardens found In its vicinity , on which are grown In remarkable abund ance , vegetables of all kinds aud boauti- 'ul flowers , which are sold for a mere trifle. The water in the canal was the color of dish-water. At Santa Anita wo on- ; ored a narrow ditsh just wldo enough : or our boat. The little boy who pulled ; ho boat with a long polo worked man fully. Wo passed by a number of women washing clothes on the banks and using a flat stone as a washboard. The gardens surprised and pleased U3.

"At the surrender of Leo , " said a sur geon of this city in the hearing of n re porter a day or two ago , writes an Erie , Pa. , correspondent to the Philadelphia Times , "I was serving as medical direc tor of the dccond division of the Twenty- fifth army corpa. After the surrender the division waa ordered to join the re mainder of the corps near Petersburg , and wo left Apponmtos court house ou the llth of April , following the S'outh Sldo railroad. The general commanding directed mo to take an orderly and proceed - coed to Prospect station and there select a camping ground for the division , and nloo a place to pitch cur headquarter tents. I proceeded as directed , and after selecting a suitable cimplug ground crossed the fiolda to a largo whlto house near the station. Au 1 rode up to the gate a most venerable alul noble looking gentleman of probably C5 years , came ta the front gate , and 1 naked him If ho would have any objection to our pitching headquarters in hla yard. Ho said : 'I should bo very glad to have you do it , as It will bo a protection against the van dal iam of the stragglers of the army. ' Ho asked me ta come In , but I told him I would prefer a seat on the veranda. Finding him to bo a Methodist minister and a most polished gentleman , I became interested In him , and wo at once began to discuss the unfortunate division of the church in 1814 , and then I switched off on the war. "Ho took the extreme southern view , whilst I took as extreme a view of the other side , but the discussion was frlond- ly , and exceedingly pleasant to mo. I found that ho really felt that the south iiad been badly treated by tbo election of Lincoln and that sesosslon waa In his view an act of self preservation. After the discussion had continued for about half an hour ho said : 'I take It that the war'is now over , sj what will your gov ernment do with Gen. Lee ? ' and added , 'Isupposo Mr. Lincoln will follow him with all the vlndictlvenosa of his na ture. ' "I replied : 'If ho gota no punishment only that which originates from the vln- dictivencas of Mr. Lincoln's nature , It will not kill him , as Mr. Lincoln Is ono of the kindest hearted men born into this world. ' Ho gave mo a lok full of skepticism and asked mo what I meant. I told him that there was much more danger of Mr. Lincoln offending the north by his leniency than to punish out of revenge , an' , then told him who and what Mr. Lincoln was , dwelling especi ally on the merciful side of bis nature. Horapllod : 'If that Is Mr. Lincoln , the president ot the United States , ho Is not the Lincoln described to us by our papers. Ho la not the man of whom we have read and of whom wo have hoard. The Lincoln described to ua is a man of blood and full of venom , who caras neither for the live ] nor the rights of the people , and from whom we have no mercy to erpect. This is the demon whom our people have been fighting these four years.1 After thus delivering himself , ho said in a subdned tone : * lf you have properly described Mr. Lincoln to me , then I have been most shamefully deceived and have aa slnmef ally misjudged him ; but'said he , I WM just as badly deceived in ray views of Gen. Grant. ' "I aakod him if ho had over soonGrant. 'Yes ' said ho ' house fall of , , 'my w s yonr generals last night. There was Sheridan , Humphreys , Meade , Ouster , Ord aim qnlto a number of others , and alt were quite lively and full of fun , nnd all were quite jolly , with the exception of ona officer whom I noticed sitting in a corner smoking and taking but little part in the sports in which the rest wcro engaged. They all wont out of the house but this solitary , silent man , and as I was going out ho aakod mo where the pump was , as ho would like to got a drink. On pf- Torlng to got some water , ho said : "No , sir , I am younger than you ; I will go my- ! olf"and as I passed out ho canio up be hind mo. When In about the middle cf the hall my IJttlo granddaughter came run ning ! toward mo , but the silent man , spreading out both arms , caught her , and laklng her up fairly smothered her with kisses , saying : "Th's ' reminds mo of my little girl nt homo and makes mo homo sick. " To the question where Is your homo , ho replied : "Galena , 111. , but I liavo my family at City Point , and I am anxtoua to got back to them. " I said , "Will you penult mo to ask your name , sir ? " "Certainly ; my name Is Grant. " VGr nt , " exclaimed I , "Gen. Grant ?
