GRANT AND MARK TWO.
When the Humorist Took the Stump
For. the General.
The year ISO was a presidential one.
Mark Twain was for General •Garfield
and made a number of remarkable
speeches in his favor, General Grant
came to Hartford during the campaign,
and Mark Twain was chosen to make
the address of welcome. Perbaps no
such address of welcome was ever
made before. He began:
"I am among those deputed to wel•
come you to the sincere and cordial
hospitalities of Hartford, the eity of'
the historic and revered Charter Oak,
of which most of the town is built."
He seemed to be at a loss wbat to
say next, and, leaning over, pretended
to whisper to Grant. Then, as if he
had been prompted by the great soldier,
he straightened up and poured out a
fervid eulogy on Grant's victories,add-
ing in an aside as 1}e finished, 'I near-
ly forgot that part of my speech,' to
the roaring delight of his hearers,
while •Grant himself grimly smiled.
He then spoke of the general being
• now out of public employment, of how
grateful to him his country was, and
how it stood ready to reward him "in
every conceivable—inexpensive way."
Grant had smiled more than once
during the speech, and when this sen•
tense came out at the end his com•
posure broke up altogether, while the
throng shouted approval. Clemens
made another speech teat night at the
opera house—a speech long remember-
ed in Hartford as one . of the great
efforts of his life.
A very warm friendship had grown
up between Mark Twain and General
Grant. A year earlier, on the famous
soldier's return from his trip around
the world, a great birthday banquet
had been given hint in Chicago at
which Mark Twain's speech bad been
the event of the evening. The colonel
who long before had chased the young
pilot soldier through the Missouri bot-
toms had become his conquering hero,
and Grant's admiration for America's
foremost humorist was most hearty.—
Albert Bigelow Paine in St. Nicholas.
A "BIT" OF MONEY.
The Use of the Term to Designate a
Small Coin is Very Old.
There is more than one theory as to
the origin of the term "two bits" and
its multiples of "four bits," etc., as ap-
plied to money.
But according to a writer in the New
York Sun the use of the word "bit" in
the sense of a small coin is very an-
cient. The "Colonial Records of Penn-
sylvania",aver that at a council held•
at Philadelphia '""ye 24tie elf Iiie"
month, 1683, under the presidency of
`Wm. Penn, Prop. and Gov.'"
The Govr. terleth Ch. Pickering & Semi.
Buckley of their abuse to ye Govermt in
Quoning of Spanish Bitts and Boston mon-
ey to the Great Damage and abuse to ye
Subieets thereof:.....
They confess they have put out some of
these new bitts....
and in three other parts of the report
of said council, the word "bitt" occurs
again.
But as a matter of fact for whole
generations before that time a "bit" or
"hitt" was as common a synonym for
a small coin in the slang of thieves in
England as were the variants "boung,"
"bung" and "pung" for a purse. In
1007 Thomas Decker said in his "Jests
to Make Merle'
If they once knew where the bung and
bit is -
And further back in 1592 Harman in
his "Defence of Coneycatching" said:
Some would venture all the byte In their
bung at dice.
What the real origin of the slangy
"bit" is does not appear to be known,
but it seems plausible that it is nothing
more than the common every day "bit"
In the sense of something small.
Not So Easy as It Seemed.
Twelve persons decided to lunch to-
gether every dray and agreed not to sit
twice in the same order. One of the
number, a mathematician, surprised
his associates by informing them that
their decision meant that one and one.
third -million years must elapse before
they . would again be seated in the
original order. Two men can sit to-
gether only in two different ways, three
in six ways, four in twenty-four, five
in 120, six in 720, seven in 5,040, eight
in 40,320, nine in 362,888, ten in 3,628,-

Cost of Discovering America.
The discovery of America cost a lit-
tle more than $7,000, at least so say
some documents that were found in the
archives of Genoa. These documents
give the value of Columbus' Beet as
$3,000. The great admiral was paid a
salary of $300 a year, the two captains
who accompanied him received a sal-
ary of $200 each, and the members of
the crew were paid at the rate of $2,50
a month each. --American Boy.
Her First Day In Church.
The two trustees in the church took
upthe collection in the middle aisle,
then began in front again and worked
the side aisles:
"I Should think," whiwpered the small
girl to her' father, "they would have
four waiters , ePas for .each aisle:"e4
