Less than two years ago Ulysses S.
Grant walked tho streets of the city of
Portland, where he had spent the least
meritorious portion of his life; where he
had been an ill-paid subaltern, looking
in vain for promotion and struggling
manfully to emancipate himself from
the tyranny of drink. Ho canio back to
us on the completion of tho Northern
Pacific, to find both changed for tho bet
ter. Portland had grown from a dirty
riverside hamlet into the most cosmopol
itan city on tho continent, when its size
is considered. And he had become,
through the medium of opportunity, not
only tho foremost soldier of the ago, but,
while still moving in privato life, the
foremost citizen of the world's grandest
republic. I was talking with another
man of self creation, another ono of stern
and rugged fiber, since gone over to the
silent majority Gen. Ja-T. "W. Nesmith,
when we met the man of Fort Douelson.
The salute was cordial but characteristic
ally terse:
"Hello, Grant."
" How are you, Nez? "
"Grizzly."

The Carap The Campers What Tkey Do
Lots' Toons; Dream.
Tho typical camp is f? miliar to the
genoral reader. It consists mainly of a
tent, a couple of blankets, a hole in the
sand and a dog. Tho tent is used to
swelter in until it rains, and then it is
tho best place on the premises for any
body who wants to get wet. The blank
ets are intended for slumbering purposes;
but after the first night they aro gener
ally requirod to keep tho rnin out of tho
meal and tho bugs out of the sugar.
The hole in tho sand is the kitchen.
The cooking is done there. The cooking
is a good deal liko the hole. No particu
lar ueo has ever been discovered for tho
dog. But ho is always there. Ho makes
himself useful, mainly, in eating up the
lard and tipping over the milk pail.
These aro tho only refreshments he has.
His favorite occupation in tho night is to
sit closo by the tent door and keep the
moon off.
Wo forgot to mention the campers.
These arc usually male and f emalo eith
er or both. They wear blue flannel day
and night, and havo sunburned noses.
They aro generally hotter fed than the
dog, and not quite so lean. They live on
whatever tho cook gots up for them.
Sometime! be only gets up early in the
morning. Then the campers aro very
indignant because ho did not let them
know that tho provisions were out.
The best fun is boating without fish
ing, and bathing. Most campers' boats
furnish bathing and boating facilities at
tho samo time. This is very convenient
for those who aro too lazy to undress.
Most campers aro desperately lazy.
Their food has something to do wf th it.
Where there aro males and females, tho
bathing has to be done in bathing-suit3.
This is very amusing, because you never
can tell whether a camper is going bath
ing or going out under tho trees to write
poetry. Tho bathing-suit and the camping-suit
are just alike.
As a rule, nobody ever falls in love
while out camping. This is what makes
mixed parties so safe. It looks awfully
dangerous in theory, but when it oome3
to practice" thero isn't anything danger
ous about it. A creature who is perfect
ly lovely in a ball dress can't smite worth
a cent in a blue flannel blouse, with a
man's big straw hat tied down over her
cars and tho skin peeling off tho'end of
her nose.
Camps aro great places to cure love,
too. If tho young man who goes away
to a foreign land with a broken heart,
trying to forget her trying in vain,
while his heart-strings ache and his np
petito dwindles down to a fino point if
this poor lore-sick young man could only
camp for a week with his dear idol, he
would oomo homo with an enormous
hankering for roast beef and a big com
fortablo patch of contentment on his
broken heart.
