The following incident of the late war we glean from Pholpn' Life of Grant : " When the steamer ran into Vieksburg, after the capture of that city by our forces, for the purpia1 of carrying our furloughod soldiers home, some of the Captains took advantage of the soldiers' eager ness, to charge the most outrageous rates. One of these heartless money grabbers was brought io terms by General Grant in the following manner : The steamer had its decks crowd ed with soldiers. Grant asked a man in the wheel-house and giving orders loudly : " Are vou the Captain of this boat?'' " Yes, General." " How many soldiers have you on board?" " About twelve hundred aud fifty." "What have you charged for fare to Cairo ? " " From ten to twenty-five dol lars each, fYencral." " Tan t.t ,l.,l!......o,,l.' is that all ? Why, that is too mod JV. V r .... . I II J -II , .

Then tlie steam whistled, the bell rang, and the wheels began to move slowly, but tor some reason she was not cast off ; tlie men could not under stand it until, in a few minutes, an order came from the guard to keep the steamer until the Captain paid back all over seven dollars taken ' fcr -fare from each officer and all i over fO dollars fr ra each ai.M'er, ' I . , -I ... ji'.

" 7'his won't do, Scovel," said Allen ; " see what a slip might do ! If that limb gave way, or those smooth soled shoes slipped, or that ax rebound and cut his leg, and he should double up over tlie limb, and tall thatdistance to the ground and his voice became husky with the terror of tlie situation.

" The Philosopher meantime, un conscious of tlie animated discus sion in his interest going on below, continued calmly trimming his trees,'' We don't think that the Nation al Committee should interfere in the matter at all. If they did, they would probably leave Chappaqua with something in their ears. Hut we have no doubt II. G. might bo induced to consider the case. The weather is dreadful hot It cannot bo necessary to chop any more trees at ( 'happa.'pia this season. II. G. is sixty years of age, and violent exertions at this period of life are not conducive to health. He certainly would be none the worst of a rett, now that he has got a respite from his editorial labors. We cannot but think that these considerations are worthy of serious attention. It is just the time lie should go a fishing. Let him take a long first class fish with a line and hook. Kunie, the island which is to be the future residence of the ( om munists who arc sentenced to simple transportation, was discovered by Cook in 1774, and called by him Pine Island. In 1853 it was taken possession of by the French. This island, which lies about thirty miles southeast of New Caledonia, the main French Polynesian possession, enjoys a most luxuriant and salu brious climate. Cannibalism may bo considered as extinct, owing to the exertions of tlie missionaries, who have also acclimatised large flocks of live stock, so as to divert the carnivorous apjtetite's of the na tives.

An intimate ftcuiiilutauee with a distant relative of the editor of tlie Trilxmp puts it In my power tofnmish the public with the last positively tlie very last link necessary to per fect the chain of knowledge already in lU osie.ioiieoncrhig Mr. Greeley, f mean hi private habit. We ,icoow all about litmus regards every depart ment ot his life ami services. Because, whenever a magazine or a bookmaker i employed to write, and cannot think of a subject, lie write about Horace (Jreeley. Even Ilia boyg in i he sehoold have mik building inspired compositions on "The Horse." and have gone to lining Horace Greeley instead, and wlien declamation day comes around. I heir voices are no long er "still for war"' and Patrick Henry, but for peace and Horace Greeley. Now the natur.ll result ot all this 1? that the public have come to think that this man has no life but public life, no nature but a public nature, no habit-tun public habit. This is ail wrong.

Mr. Greeley gets up at three o'clock in tlie morning ; for it U one of his maxims tint only early rising can keep the health unimpaired and the brain vigorous, ile Uien wakes up the liouscliold and assembles them in tlie library hv candlelight ; nisi, after quoting the beautiful lines r.ariy to lied and early to rise Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. he apiwiuts each individual a task for the day, sets him at it with some en couraging words, and goes back to bed again. At half-past eleven o'clock, Mr. Greeley rises again. He sliaves him self. He considers that there is great vnrrcK and economy in sliavlng himself. He does it with a dull razor, sometimes humming tune, he knows part of a tune, and takes an innocent delight iu regarding it as the first half of Old Hundred, but parties familiar with that hymn have felt obliged to confess that they could not recognize It, iim), therefore, tlie noise lie makes is doubtless iui un conscious original composition of Mr. Greeley's) and sometimes, when th razor is es)cciully dull, lie accompani es himself with a formula like this : Ihc razor, ami the outcast wb mule it."

Ills flrt copy was "Virtue Is its own reward." and they got it "Washing with soap in low and absurd, " and so tin' t rustics dis charged him for attempt lug to convey bad morals through the medium of worse penmanship. Bnt. as I was say ing, he writes his moiiiingcdltori.il. Then ho tries to read it over, and can't do it. and so sends it to tlie prin ters, and they Iry to read it, and cau'l do it ; and so they set it up at random, as you may say. putting in what woids they can make out, anil when they get around on a long word they put in "protection ' or "universal sum-age, aud -liar oil' and imddSc ahead. :uA nest morning, if the degndwl publie can tell whit it is all about, they say II.
