One of the features of the past week
in Washington has been the culmina
tion ot the war between General f - her-
man ami General Boynton, of the
Cincinnati Gazette. Perhaps I should
say the enewal, because the real fight
ing is alMiut to begin. I can hardly
tell how the thing started. Aa neaa
as I ••an understand there was a large
body or offleera in the army who felt
onliaged by General Sherman's mtm
oirs. It wag thought he took too
much credit to himself and gave too
little to oilers. Among the number
was General Boynton, aqd even Gen*

Colambas Enquirer.
Yesterday morning we published
the following item under the head of
“Good Luck.’’
“Judge Grant, of Davenport, la.,
went to I<eadville about a year ago.
Since that time he has made 9125,000
and now returns to Daveuport to res
sumo the practice of law, which he
left off to engage in his Leadville
scheme*.
We have since ascertained that the
Judge Grant referred to has a re
markable hi-tory. A gentleman who
is well acquainted with the family,
gives ns. the following narrative
which baa a good deal of romance:

of North Carolina. He went from

State, lie was an energetic man and
sought to make his I'ortuno in the
far West, lie made money very
rapidly, and while enjoying the fruits
of his energy, was ot no little service
to his relations left in Alabama. He
first sent tor his nephew, William, a
son of McD. Grant, gave him a thor

prominent lawyer of Davenport,

brother (Whit,) and gave him a

If there is anything that makes as
believe the doctrine of man suffering
torment on this earth, it is the faces
of persons who have committed wilful
murder. We have seen many such,
and they wear stamped on their faces
the leak of the damned. Some time
since a gentleman related to us a tact
that had como under his immediate
knowledge. He says that short'v af
ter the war he was requested by u man
to go that night and help hang a cer
tain negro who had insulted a white
lady. He refused. But the man
went off and got two young men and
that night the negro was lynched It
afterwards transpired that tho victim
was innocent of tho charge, his qplv
crime being quitting the service of the
fiend who had instigated tho 'murder.

Young men if you contemplate a

vour habits too carefully. Your aim
in life is to be successful in all under-

seem of small moment to you now
may become in future the turning
point in your career, either tip or

said the young man, “ I don’t drink.’*

the room, “ I thought perhaps you

No,” “Nor smoke, nor gamble no-

Said one ol the most successful mer
chants of Cleveland, Ohio, a day. or
two since, to a lad who was opening
a parcel: “Young uian, untie those
strings—don’t cut them.”
It was th* first remark he had made
to a new employe. I* was the first
lesson tire lari hail to learn, and it in
volved the principles of success or
failure 11 a business career. Pointing
to a well-dressed man behind the
counter, he said :—
“There is a mau who alwytys whips
out his scissors und cuts the strings off
the package in three or four places,
lie is a good salesman, bnt will never
be anything more. I presume h* 4 lives
from band to mouth, anil I presume is
more or less in debt. The trouble
with him is that ho was never taught
to save. I told tho boy just now to
untie the string not so much for the
value of tli* string as to teach him that
everything is to be saved and nothing
wasted. If the idea can be firmly im-
iressed upon the raiud of a beginning
n life that nothing was raado to be
wasted, you bave laid the foundation
of success.
The moral of this little incident is
self-evident. A young man well
brought up with a fair education, seeks
employment in a business house. Tlte
habit of waste in little things is notice
able, aud becomes a drawback ou bis
value and usefulness to his employer.
Tire disregard of saving strings and
paper develops into a carelessness that
runs through all his habits. He does
not get on in the world because he is
wasteful. Small sums of money _ slip
through hi- fingers almost unconscious-
ly, because they arc srnalL • He waste
time by the minute, withonta thought
of tire old adage. ‘-Take care of the
minutes and the hoars will take care
of themselves.”
Sitting in thu counting-room of one
of Cleveland’s oldest and most success
ful merchants the other day, we no
ticed that he cut off the blank sheet
of the letters he waa engaged in filing.
The name of this man is a synonym
of charity and benevolence and his lib
erality in all good wor kt is almost on-
bounded. His attention being called
to what seemed an' unusual proceed
iug, he —id :—
Yet, it may strike you as singular

taught me by my employer. He has
been nearly half a century under tne
aod, but I net er do this without think
ing of the good old man. I believe it
was tbe secret of my success in life.”
This saving of little things doe* not
imply stinginess or meanuess. It is
simply the habit of saving instead of
wasting. It is embodied in tbe mol

Canadian skating costume, iu which,
as every one knows, a liberal display

pened in this case that ia endeavoring
to save herself the lady ripped her
stocking with the point of her skate.
She was not, however, aware of the
mishap, and glided away from her
rescuers with her usual graceful rajiitl-
ity. As she sped alo 4 .»g iu conscious

Some advertiser* think that be

Though it is perhaps impossible to in

may pot at the time need any article

The man who has begun to adver

steady clientele of satisfied customers,
but the chances are that some of
these will be detached by seeing the
