From a Long Branch letter in
Atlanta Constitution we cull the follow¬
ing interesting bit of information con¬
cerning the habits of General Grant:
‘‘Every day about 4 o’clock General
Grant comes dashing along Oeeau
avenue behind a fine team of bays that
draws his heavy T cart. Ordinarily he
drives alone; sometimes his son Ulysses
is with him, nud occasionally one sees
Richard J. Dobbins, who owns half ol
the Branch and plenty oi Philadelphia
as well, in the seat beside him. Grant is
now in the financial vortex. Ho haunts
Wall street, although 1 not as a general
speculator, talks stock and Mexican rail¬
road prospects continually, has become
brusque in manner, luoro dashing in
dress mid more talkative than ever before.
Sometimes he wears a blue necktie with
a red dot in it, and occasionally I notice
the phud pattern of las trousers is very
large as to squares anu seusauoii as to
effect. They say he is making money.”

that by far the larger proportion resulted
from the ill-reguluted action of good
and*even benevolent persons. Much of
ill treatment of animals comes out of
the ordinary proceedings of trade. It
has been the custom to bleed calves, to
possible cram sheep and poultry into the smallest
apparatus of transport, to drive
cattle for long distances without permit
ting them to drink and to slaughter
them without sufficient avoidance of
pain. Each little circle in which these

witnessing the Buffering of tho poor j j

! be affirmed that the cruelty of custom
i or indifference does not lead to the de
moralization which inevitably rtsuits
from a deliberate choice of action tliat
inflicts unnecessary pain, and yet all
familiarity with needless damage and useless
