The Springfield Republican is the
Brst paper to commend the change In
the date of issue of the Century. It
aays: “The Century Magazine indulges
(n a noble *!uxury—that of restoring
truth to the date of a monthly periodi¬
cal. The Company announces that the
enormous editions they are now print¬
ing compel them either to go to press at
an earlier date or postpone the day of
Issue. They have chosen the latter,
and consequently the May number of
the Century will be issued in May in¬
stead of April, apd on the 1st day of
May, as it ought to be. The June num
ber will likewise be published June 1,
and every number henoeforward will be¬
long to the month whose name it bears.
The magazines entered upon an absurd
ohase, some years ago, to see which
should get out earliest, and the result
was that the day of publication got back
as far as the 7th or 8th day of the month
before that whose name the number was
called by. Of late years they have been
creeping back, until the Century has
been for a long while stayed at the 20th,
and last month got as near as the 25th
to telling the truth. The edition of
April lumbered 225,000 copies; thatol
the May number will be $250,000 copies.

A Hew Dae for Bed-Spring
A f e w days ago, after a fire which
par tjy consumed a dwelling house on
Third street, the owner permitted a
g ang 0 f Polacks to carry off a lot of the
imaged furniture. Aspring-bed fell

had been destroyed and several of the coda
were missing> bnt he accepted the pres.
I ent with every expression of gratitude,
and ^ he car ted it away his fellow*
country men cast many an envious
glance in his direction
That same afternoon the doner had

“Bless his old soul! but he’s got
those springs fixed up and wants me to
see what a pice bed he has,” eaid the
himself, and he followed the
man arouna tho house.
There was the spring-bed. The man
p1g pen and the gHt just
made a front for it. The wire coils
were placed on the inside and the occu
t 0 f t hepen was scratching against
them an a squealing with delight.
“Good 1” said the Polack, as he
inted t0 the pe n.

“Got more?” *
“No, my friend, I haven’t. I’ve cun
clear out of bed springs, but if you’ll
call around to-morrow I’ll hunt you up
a rocking chair and looking-glass for
your hogpen. Hang a man who’ll sleep
on a pair of $12 bea springs when they

Grant’s Memory and Dry Humor.
This was in 1869. I went to Wash¬
ington, and Senator Nye asked me if 1
would like to meet the President. I
said yes, and went to the White House.
The Senator introduced us, and I looked
at General Grant and he looked at me.
I didn’t have anything to say, and it was
jt|ie most awkward moment of my life.
Finally I stammered: “Mr. President,
I am awfully embarrassed—are you ?”
I didn’t stop to hear his answer, and I
don’t know how I got out of the White
House, but I met the President, any¬
how. In 1879 I was in Chicago. Gen¬
eral Grant had just arrived, and was to
review the Grand Army of Tennessee—
the first that he commanded, you know.
A reviewing stand had been erected in
front of the hotel. The crowd was aw¬
ful. It was the largest I ever saw. I
wanted to see that review, and with the
old instinct of the reporter to shove
himself where he had no business to
be, I edged through the crowd and got
on the platform, and there I was all
alone facing that tremendous crowd.
Presently a man came out behind me.
It was Carter Harrison, of Chicago. I
knew him and he knew me. He looked
at me and I looked at him. Right be¬
hind him was General Grant Mr. Har¬
rison said: “Do you know General
Grant?” “No,” I said. “All right, I’U
introduce you,” he said. I was embar¬
rassed again when Mr. Harrison intro¬
duced us. “How do you do?” said
General Grant “I am not embarrassed
—are you?”
