STAIIK, VA ATTORNEY AT LAW, BRAIJSERD & g iyo c E K^i. irriy, near WesiStie NEW YORK; D7 D.IVI (bit CO., I first met General Grant, on his way to Donelson, before the world had board of him. Ilis unassuming frankness, and a certain quiet earnestness, which seemed to " mean business," won greatly upon me, but kindled no suspicion that he was the comiqg mail. Indeed my fancy painted that expected hero as quite the opposite of this prosaic brigadier. I fancied that he would ride lofty horses, issue flaming proclamations in th» supreme moment of a battle charge at the head of the bodyguard crying "God and the Union!" talk in words that would ring through the land like a trumpet, and do all thing* in the high Roman fashion. I expected that either Fremont or Banks would rise to the head. But, like scores of other promising generals, they failed to achieve leadership.— Meanwhile, I saw more and more of Grant, sitting beside him around nightly camp-fires at the most trying period of Wis life. Even then, when he was assailed, I defended him a little haltingly. I held him a pure man, an energetic fighter, but by Do means one of the few immortal nataea. s At last, educated lo humility of opinion though " the loDg dull anguish of patience," it downed upon xne that Grant was winning great successes simply because be was a great general—rising into the key position of the national batteries solely because be was our gun of heaviest metal and largest caliber. If a man docs not like a horse his head is not level. We believe that the heads of our readers are level, ergo,-they must like horses. The majority of who like horses generally man-, age to own one or more of tbem, and owning, must be interested in knowing how to keep in good health and vigor this noblest and most serviceable of animals.

A lessee can be diichargod from his express contract to pay rent, only by a release or an eviction by the landlord, or a surrender of the term on bis own part.—(3 B. 120.) To constitute are express surrender, no set form of words is necessary, nor is it required that there should be a formal redelivery or cancellation of the lease. All that is requisite is the agreement and assent of the proper parties, manifesting such an intent, followed by the yielding up of possession ; for a surrender by a lessee, is nothing more than a delivery up of his estate or interest in the demised lands to his lessor. Nor is it necessary in all cases that the express rescission of a lease should be by writing; for it is settled, in Pennsylvania, that an oral surrender of a lease for a term less than three years, whether the demise be by writing or not, will end the term. By an express verbal agreement between the parties, followed by surrender of possession, the relation of landlord and tenant ceases, and tho rights and liabilities arising therefrom are onded.—(5 B. 424.) fr.

It has been held in a great dumber of cases that the tenant is bound by his covenant to pay rent, though he assign his lease with.his landlord's assent, and though the latter accept the assignee for his tenant, and receives rent from him. The lessee's engagements in his lease are not affected in any way by an assignment of the lease. To end these, a release by the landlord is necessary, or an agreement, either verbal or written, which amounts in law to a surrender. —{IX H. 20.)

In these pages I touch lightly upon some of Grant's public achievements. The world knows them by heart. I soek rather to show what made him the man he is—the stock from which he sprang; the moulding influences of his boyhood; his early military and civil life; his intellectual growth, and political education during the great rebellion ; and .through all, the little things indicating the interior life ot the —what he thought and said, hoped and feared. Hence I give minute incidents,believing that those, even, which seem trivial and pointless, may help to throw light upon his organisation and development. Rarely has so much greatness been disfigured by so few littlenesses; so much goodness been marred by so trivial iaulU. I believe Grant's character one of the soundest and most' beautiful in history—a worthy companion to that of the great and good President, murdered through the foul conspiracy which was aimed at his life also. Happily he remains to complete the work of Abraham ' Lincoln—to whom he is so unlike, and yet bo like—with the same steadfastness anil sagacity, the same " Charity for all, and malice toward none."

An assignee of a term is liable only for such portion of the rent as fslls due daring his connection with the demised premises. He is liable at all only by reason of privity of estate, and therefore liable for no more than such breaches of the covenants running with the land as occur while the privity continues. Hence his assignmentof the term, and abandonment of the premises, even to a panper, terminates his liability for any subsequent breaches of covenant, for it breaks the privity of estate. Bat to work such an effect, the privity must be absolutely destroyed. The assignee haviDg entered under an assignment, and thus come into privity, that privity continues ac long as his beneficial enjoyment of the demised property or right to it remains. This is manifest when it is considered what the privity of estate is, out of which his personallliability arises. It is his actual or beneficial ofijoyraent of the premises, or the right of possession and enjoyment. The assignee is only liable in respect of possession, for he bears the burden only while he enjoys the benefit. Hence Dan agreement which puts an end to his actual or beneficial possession, and right of possession, puts an end also to his further liability.—[10 Wr. 281.] ifrSTTRANCE.

Altogether free from cant, his lips, obeying the teachings of his mother, have uttered no oath, been spoiled by no coarseness. He is a miracle of serenity and self-poise. During the terrors of Belmont, when an aid, with pallid cheeks, cried, " Why, general, we are surrounded !" there was no perceptible change in his pleasant faco or calm voice as he answered, "Then we will cat our way out." Three years later, as he read Lee'i dispatch proposing the surrender of the army of Northern Virginia, Grant was equally unmoved ; no elation shone in his i face; or sounded in the ordinary tono in which he asked, "Well, Gen. Rawlins, how do you think that will do?" " Tried by both extremes of fortune, and never disturbed by either," he remains as simple and unaffected to-day as in his years of poverty and obscurity. Our war might have developed a leader profligate, corrupt, or uneasily ambitious, as so many great captains have been in the past.

A distinction has been attempted on the supposition that there is more virtue in a part payment than in a new promiso; bat the supposition is groundless, and there is no decision that gives it countenance. It is, in fact, simply an act from which a new promise is inferred ; but as the promise itself is unavailing, the act from which it is inferred certainly cannot be more effective. In Pennsylvania the rule is established, that there must be a new promise, or circumstances from which one can be properly implied, in order to remove the bar of statute; and a partial payment by one of two or more joint debtors, not partners, is not such an act as justifies an inference of a new promise by the others, so as to remove the bar of the statuto of limitations.—(10 II. 156.)

The Chinese record of these phenomena extended back to C93 B. C., and from the seventh century B. C. to A. D. 333. Sixteen falls of aerolites are recorded. Humboldt speaks of one seen in 1788 of a brilliancy greater than the sun at noon. One was seen in England, Februray, 6,1818, of a light equal to the sun.— Tlieae wonderful displays were, however, all surpassed by tho memorable scenes of 1833, Witnessed by the writer, which were visible all over the United States and over part of Mexico and the West Indies. Mingled with the smaller shooting stars, which fell like snowflakes and produced phosphorescent lines, there were large fire-balls at rapid intervals' describing in a lew seconds an area of thirty or forty aegrees. At Niagara the exhibition was. awful 1* its grandeur. The firmanent descended in fiery torrents over the dark and roaring cataract. Great alarm was produced by these meteors. But science, with its unfailing resources, "unwovad the eternal dances of the stars, and tracked the comet in its blazing course and now mee look for these displays as they look for any other astronomical visitation. As explained by Pcof. Qlmstead, these meteors probably emanate from a nebulous body which revolves round ike sun in an elliptical orbit, the aphelion of vbieh meets the orbit of the earth at the time of the annual exhibitions. The nebulous character is inferred from the fact that none of the meteors, though they fall with prodigious velocity, Cerer reach the earth in a solid state, all being dissipated in the atmosphere. minutes, p. m., on said day.

In Pennsylvania, the supvease court has established the rule that a belief in the future state of rewards and punishments is not essential to .the competency of a witness; nor is it cause of exclusion that one does not beliftve in the inspired oharacter of the bible. The teat of competency is, whether the witness believes in the existence ef a God, who will punish him if he swears falsely. As an oath is a solemn appeal to the Creator of the universe that the truth on| ly shall be witnessed, no one is competent to take it who ha3 not a religious sense of accountability to the Omniscient Being, who will certainly punish him if ho commit perjury. But whether his belief is that the punishment will be temporary or eternal, inflicted in this world or that to. come, is immaterial to the question of his competency.• It is for the jury to say whether the credibility of the witness is afTectcd by his belief in the extent of the penalty to be incurred by false swearing,or his want of beliel iu the Christian religion.—[2C. 274.] Our last despatches, at -2C43 a. m., indicate that the meteoric displays seen in other .cities were uncommonly brilliant, and wore obierv«d to great advantage by the scientific sentinels.— Pkila.
