In a recent conversation Mr. Nfurk-
land, who. was the head of :the gnarl
service ' of Grant's army, said tien.
Grant never swore, and in my long. oon

tell iu social circles .stories in wh-leli
oaths haveialway:s:been used, but in re-
telling them he .woilld not quote the
oaths, He was freer from using unkind
expressions toward his fellowman than
anyone 1 have over k io;vn.. And the
Chief misfortunes of his life have :arisen
from his misplaced confidence in his
fellowmen. o
Speaking of his: profanity, 1 remember
two occasions on :which Grant should
4 have sworn and 1 think would ha .e
sworn if he could, I 'ne was while we
were at Young's .Pont, with •hoadgear-
ters on the steamboat Magnolia, Two
of the stat)' odieer's-.had been sent_ north
under orders,'leaving their rooms on the.
boat Vacant. (ten. Grant invited. two
otlicers on board ono night for consnita-
• .tion, I,tur'ing` the consultation a violent
rain storm,' clone up, and Genie tirunt
asked these o.liters.ta remain on board
Over night, saying that he had two
rooms, and. that it would be more pleas-
ant for them.to stay there than to go to.
their 'carne iu the storm. The time for
retiring arrived, and the oMoers were
•
s o` h ts tilers, rooms.. 'When the doors
• were, opened., however; it • was fount'
that the bod:i. were • occupied by
'the colored' servants of the Odicers who
were .absont.. •lien. Grant • was very
angry, but his indignation • did not rind
vent in oaths; ho mereiyordered those
• seri ants out on shore. into the rain, and'
. in a short time, his indignation itavin4
cooled. he sent an'orderly to tell them
they ooul•t eo nu back upon the boat.' .
At another ti'no, a.ter h,avin:;. per
formed liis morning ablutions, lie left
his false to ?th in the wash -basin, His
servant, in putting his room to rights,
emptied•the'eont fits into the river; and
for the time en, Grant was toothless.
But his amiability developed itself even

TERR BLE CHURCH CALAMITY AVERTED
EX TRE I'ASTOR's COURAGE.
A La Salle, I11., despatch saga, Six
bundred people gathered in the new
hall in. the rear of the Methodist Epic•
copal Church Thursday, to ,celebrate.)
Robert Burns' birthday. The hall is,
on the second floor and supported from
the cross -beans above by a bolted -iron
xod. During prayer the floor began to
sink and a total collapse of the building
seemed `imminent. Rev. Mr, White,
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, perceiving the danger, began
to sing. The immense congregation
paused- and •theintervals- of inaction
saved countless lives, for the next in-
stant the sinking sensation ceased. In
,accordance with the advice then. given
the crowd dispersed -.in small; details.
An investigation showed that the thread
of the rod had stripped off inside the
bolt because of the, weight belo. tv, If a
rush and a conseuent disturbance of
the floor bad . followed the settling, the'
rod must; have been wrenched from the -
bolt and the building wrecked. , There
being a large coal stove on the floor and
only one escape by a spiral Stairway,
the enaning borrors can be easily im-
agined. .A. subscription list is '.being'
circulated and. generously .signed to re-
ward the quick-witted pastor,

Rev'. Abbott E. Kittridge, pastor of
