A newspnpef man on ttie hunt fur
items min evening Inst weok "as nailed
aside by a colored man who told him
(hat ir ho presented himself at his house
at, a quarter before t welve o'clock that
night he might consider himself a part
o' agold hunting expedition. The reader
of the mysterious had at last viewed a
favorable conjunction of the stars and
Pad learned the location ol a valuable
treasure which had been secreted near
the Braddoek road during the march to
old Fort Duquesne. Promptly at the
appointed time, the scribe was at the
p'aee designated and found four stalwart
individuals with their countenances
hidden behind masks in accordance with
the orders of the veiled prophet who had
located the hidden riches. Starting out
in the direction of Bridgeport, the treas-ure
hunters marched in Indian fileacross
Jacobs Creek and struck a trail towards
the ridge. At a certain point in the
journey, the quintette consulted a chart
prepared by the sorceress and it was
agreed that the buried gold could not be
far away. The directions said that at
A CKBTAtM POINT IN IIUMSKIN TOWNSHIP
on the night mentioned the visitors might
locate a tree trunk scarred by lightning
which would be in a direct line between
the observer at:d the moon as it shone in
the eastern heavens. After having fixed
upon the tree, the lovers of wealth were
to start from the foot of ttie trunk and
take one hundred steps northward, keep-ing
the eye lived upon the north star.
The starting point was determined by
aid of the mystic map and all eyes began
searching for the blasted tree. Finally
as the flying send passed from die face of
t he moon, in tlm broad band of light was
seen (lie massive tree stripped of its
branches yet still holding it» head proud-ly
erect. A hurried rush was made lor
the tree. The sky was tilled with clouds
and the north star peeped in and out
from behind Hie floceulent masses as
though aware of the excitement which
was now apparent in the movements of
the masked hunters. One of the number
was detailed to step the distance and
with tiis eye on the pole star, he began.
Step after step was counted until more
than seventy yards had been covered
when the walker tripped and fell, losing
Ids correct position and theconntofsteps.
A SECOND ATTEMPT WAS MADE
with a new walking man as it wasevident
that the witches guarding the gold had
castaspell upon the former pedestrian.
Slowly and carefully the distance was
measured. When the clouds obscured the
guiding star, a halt was ordered and the
whole party awaited in breathless silence
the re-appearance of the guide. Then the
march went on and after several halts,
the required distance was measured. The
men then measured a square of seven
feet around the spot and within these
boundaries and seven feet below ground
was the object of the search, if the
prophecy was true. The picks and shov-els
wont industriously to work driven by
the hands of the strong men, while the
scribe, behind a toby watched the pro-gress
of the work. For nearly sn hour
not a word was spoken and the only
sound heaid
the men and
earth as they were thrown from the ex-cavation.
Two hours passed and three,
and the prescribed limits were almost
exhausted. The men worked faster and
fnRter while the smoke from the toby
and the bright"glare at the toby’s end
told the tale of the scribe being still at
his post. Suddenly there was a clear
ringing sound as though steel had come
in contact with steel, then a sli nit and a
scramble from the pit. One of them had
struck an iron obstacle with his pick.
The whole five men jumped into the pit
and rapid work with the implements
soon cleared the earth from
A STRONGpY MADE IRON CURST
about the size of a modern soap box
Hopes were fastened to the handles
at each side, and the chest was
hoisted to the surface. The diggers
danced and embraced each other in the
madness of their joy. The rusty fasten-ings
were forced by the aid of the pick
and the lid flew open revealing in the
moonlight the glitter of yellow gold.
Doubloons and sovereigns lay mingled
in a shining mass upon a tray. The tray
was lifted from its place revealing a sec-ond
iron lid. While the scribe was ex-amining
the gold to see that it was not
Reagantown goods, the hunters tried to
force the second obstacle. Finally one
struck the lid a resounding blow with
a pick. There was an explosi in as of an
earthquake, the men were blown to pie-ces
and when the reporter recovered his
consciousness he found himself on
the floor. He had fallen out of bed,
while dreaming.

At the inspection of the National
Guard at Camp Gallagher on Lake Con-neaut
on Thursday last, the militia suf-fered
greatly from the heat. About
thirty-men in the Tenth Regiment suc-cumbed
to the torrid rays of the sun;
among this number w ore Captain Keenan
and live or six men of the Greenstmrg
Company. Major James M. Laird ami
Captain Keenan have tendered their res-ignations
to take etrect immediately.
The life of a soldier under the new rnlos
governing theHtatesoldiery lias nothing
of a picnic character about it although at
ttys same time the new regime is great-ly
increasing the efficiency of the guard
and may therefore be considered a suc-cess.

The calm, imperturbable man who

Next to Lincoln the name of
Ulyssess S. Grant will beenrolled among
those who, in the hour of the nation’s
peril, with true an 1 patriotic wisdom
swept the danger into oblivion, In this
day when the people stand beside the
coffined remains of the illustrious dead,
it is hardly possible to form a tine esti-mate
of Grant’s character. We are apt
only to see that which was good, ignor-ing
the faults. It therefore remains a
duty of the future to draw a true like-ness
of a truly great man. We tnny
stand by the grave and mourn Grant’s
departure, for the Union has lost a firm
supporter and the Republic one of its
saviors. The young Americans can
carefully study Grant’s history for he
rose from the people by hjs own merits,
and his history will show a combination
of modesty, grit and patriotism which
may well be taken as an example for
future generations.

The mourning over the General’s de-mise
is as sincere as it is universal. The
South has buried the bitterness of years
of strife, and recognizes the fact that
Grant as a foe was both brave and mag-nanimous.
IIis generous allowance of
terms ut the time of Lee’s surrender
gave evidence that he was not possessed
of a malignant spirit, but that when his
ends were accomplished his endeavors
were for the amelioration of those whom
he had overcome. Thu north and

The South Pennsylvania railroad
seems to he a dead issue. The struggle
of the giants has added millions in
money to the coffers of Vanderbilt,
while Ids associates have been left to
take care of themselves. The daily
press seems to he in a state of anxious
uncertainty over the condition of the
bargain. .Oneday wo are told Jjini the
sale is completed, that Vanderbilt holds
the power and that the end of the en-terprise
is in sbdit’, the nest day these
reports are flatly contradicted and the
anti-Pennsylvania railroad folks propose
making it hot for the man who is alleged
to have sold them out. For my part "1
must confess that 1 believe tho South
Penn is ended forevermore as far as the
present corporation is concerned. Van-lerbilt
has secured the opposition line
on the west hank of the Hudson rlvo1
and the New York Central is without a
rival. Those who have been investing
heavily with the idea of re-imhursing
themselves upon a rise in prices Incident
on the construction of tho line lmd bet-ter
be making some arrangements to get
under cover before the shower comes.

bad effect in some parts of our own

The game between the Stars and the
Waltons at Latrobe on Wednesday was
anything hut an interestinge< ntest. The
Htars who were first to the bat retired in
one, two, three order, while their oppo-nents
got three men across the homo
plate in the last half of the first inning,
nine of the runs being earned. In the
second the Htars were blanked and the
Waltons again secured three unearned
runs. After this inning the Stars settled
down to work and played a fairly good
game up until the ending of theseventl^
when they had drawn up within two
runs of tying the score which stood !) to
11. The Waltons after whitewashing
their visitors in the eight, made five
runs, the Stars lending some very valua-ble
assistance in the way of wild throws.
The Stars failed to score In the ninth and
thus ending the game. Steiner was the
only one on the home team who played
anything like good ball, the balance be-ing
off either at the bat or in the field.
Milbee and tjueer l;ot|i had very sore
hands and can therefore he excused. The
Stars were fairly outplayed and accepted
their defeat like pid'osophers. The re-turn
game will be played hero probably
next week, when we hope to see a much
better game all rmipd.

Special ('orrespot.donee to the JOURNAL.
LIOONIKR. August 1st, 1885.
In nnr last writing to the JOURNAL
mention was made of a couple of fora-ging
expeditions sent out from Atlanta
by 1 tenoral Sherman. The first of these
went down into the Green river country,
forming a “base of operations” at Flat
Shoals about eighteen miles southeast of
Atlanta. A number of wagons and a
strong guard were left at tho Shoals,
and then the work of “going for” things
generally, was promptly inaugurated.
Much of f|ie country was tinder a high
state of cultivation aud extremely rich in
forage. Hogs, sheep, cattleand poultry of
every description were plenty; there
was also plenty of horse feed, Hour, corn
meal, sweet potatoes, honey etc., and the
consequence was that the soldiers fared
siiinptouslv every day during the expe-dition.
We wpr<* diyifh'fl into squads of
from twenty-five up to fifty, owing to the
distance wo intended to go out and com-manded
hv an officer |'li|t Simula, a town
at,out the size of Pleasant Unity, was for
Ihe time being, our rende«rons, The
entire expedition camped thereat night
and did ample justice to what had been
captured during the dav. The fact is, we
had rather a guy old tune during our
stay at Flat 8II"HIH; we fenced in about an
acre or probably a li lie more with a
high rail fence, and tills enclosure was
divided and subdivided for the accom-modation
of the different kinds of stock
and poultry weeaptured. We remained
there four or live days, during which
time we got away with
THOUSANDS OF IIOI.I.AIIS WORTH OF FORAGE;
night was made hideous by the
fitful braying of mules, lowing
of cattle, squealing of hogs, bleat-ing
of sjieep, nnncklqg of ducks, chatter-ing
of gepse and crowing of chanticleers.
Viewed as a whole, it wa" a lively scene.
11 is proper to slate here that the. farms,
especially in middle and Southern Geor-gia
are very large, they are all called
“plantations” down tfierp, anil many of
them are models of Deal ness; there is al-most
invariably a large white frame
house about the centre, having a superb
yard in front and surrounded,some little
distance away, however, by small cabins
lor the accommodation of tlieirslayes. In
making raids tlie soldiers always thor-oughly
examined the large farm house
first, because they always yielded the
most, revenue. There was never any-thing
about the nogro huts t|iat amount-ed
to much; some cf the soldiers, who
had learned the art of stealing at home
managed to get away with considerable
sums of gold and silver on these raids.
After we had "gobbled up,” ns it was
termed hy thosoldiers, everything avail-able
in the region round about Flat
Shoals we returned to Atlanta, loaded
down with forage. A couple of weeks
later another expedition w«a sent out on
the same errand, this tjino, however, we
went out about thirty miles before we
formed u base, leaving Atlanta at eight
o’clock in the mornimr, we did not, reach
our destination till midnight. There
were several fine musicians in our com-pany,
and they were forever singinu
nt Bomolh’.ng, S'lnellme after dark we
were inuri hing eh ng singing; “The bell
(hull toll, ils echoes roll, i know the
sound lull well,” when all of a sudden,
bang, bang, went two muskets from the
bushes on our left,and two bullets wliis-ded
over the heads of the column, then
the familiar command “halt” was lieafd.
and the column belted promptly, then
we had orders to load but not cap; wc
did both, however, and as the sequel will
show, we were right for an hour or so
inter, we were passing through a piece of
timber at ttie margin of which wgs one
of the omnipresent cross roads of the
South, and right here a s^uad of
REBEL CAVALRY DASHED IJJTO OUR RANKS
and commenced firing. Our column
divided, some entering tha wot ds
on the rigid and some on the
left, and the ball opened in
level earnest. The cavalry were mounted
in the road, the action only lasted about
live minutes, but during that time it
sounded quite interesting, our impression
is that not a single man washiton either
side. We reached our “base” about
midnight, and operated in the surround-ing
country for four days, after wbicli we
returned to Atlanta, loaded down as be-fore.
But as most of your readers hayp
never seen Atlanta we will close this
writing with a description of the place.
Atlanta is one of the finest cities south
of Mason & Dixon’s line. It contains a
number of superb public buildings and
magnificent private residences. It is the
headquarters of the regular, oldfashioqed
Southern aristocracy,an<j vet, withal, it
pantains much refinement ami hospitali-ty,
at that time it contained when all
were present, a population of between
40,00(1 and 50,000 souls. The population
is now about double that figure, the'eity
is admirably located, com partly builtand
can boast of the
BEST WATER OF ANY CITY IN TIIE UNION.
For magnificent parks, blooming
parterres and admirable shaded streets,
Allan's has few equals and pro-bably
no superiors, it is the headquarters
of the railroad system of the South, and
when the war broke out was the richest
city of its size in the South. It waa
badly torn up by t(ip war, however, tlio
Rebel army inflicting about as much
(lpmage as our own. By the time both ar-mies
had left Atlanta, very much of the
former beauty and glory of the city had
departed. The racket Hood kicked up
there the night he retreated accomplish-ed
wonderful results by way of spoiling
the beauty of the city, and besides Sher-mans
bombardment of five weeks dura-tion,
also did considerable damage, espe-cially
tojh) nortfiefn suburbs of die city.
That [Motion of the city where Hood
burned the arsenal and ammunition
trains was about the roughest looking
night of I he evacuation, the lies were
burned out of the railroad and the raila
bent and twisted out of shape hy the
heat, while the mighty.concussion of ex-ploding
missiles had actually jarredsome
ot the adjacent buildings out of position.
When we take into consideration the
fact that Hood was operating among the
homes of his own people, the course he
pursued before evacuating Atlanta was
both contemptible and cowardly.

A correspondent of the Pittsburg; Tele-graph,
writing from New York, says that
lie lias just come Into possession of sonic
additional facts In connection with the
Koutli I’ennsylvania railroad deal, tlio
publication of which is calculated to
create a sensation not only in Pittsburg
but in all [>arts of the country where
coke is used. While Mr. Vanderbilt
was dickering with the Pennsylvania
Railroad people, Mr. Andrew Carnegie
did a little atroke of business for him-self
and a few friends which lays in the
shade all his previous successful move-ments,
shrewd as many of them were.
He field the "irlance of power” in the
South Penn matter, and was entirely too
canny to place himself in Vanderbilt’s
power, nnd acted for himself and Ids
friends. Vanderbilt, could control only
$8,450,000 of the capital stock of the
South Penn, distributed ns follows:
W. H. Vaqdeybllt $5,000,000
ll.O. M|ll(j . ... 500,00:)
O. H. Payne 500,000
Win, (!, Whitney 250,000
It. H. Sayre 40,000
F. L. Stetson 10,0i)0
Augustus Schell 100,000
George 1. Magee 50,000
Carnegie controlled $2,000,000, divided
up as follows:
Andrew Carnegie *1,000.000
R. C. Krlek 250,100
E. M. Ferguson 250,000

Add these two sums together and the
total is $8,450,000 or within $50,000 of

A Sutor station correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch says: Our two rival
ferrymen are having a lively time by
way of adjusting a difficulty existing be-tween
them. Eli 0. Siiterowns the laud-ing
on the Westmoreland side of the
river boro, while J. E. Douglass owes ttie
Allegheny side. Mr. Sutor lias been
running tho terry hero for about forty
years, being ono of our pioneers. The
ferry pays from $4 to$0 n day. A rivalry
exists between tho inhabitants of Suter
station and Douglass, directly opposite.
The parties In question are among our
heavy weights financially. Sometime
during last winter, when business was
somewhat depressed, Mr. Douglass eon-eluded
that ho would also run a skiff.
He started out from ttie Allegheny sido
of the river with a fairy load for ttie op-positeshore,
hut before landing wab con-fronted
hy Mr. Sutor and a squad of
about twenty men armed with clubs,
cant-hooks nnd other available arms of
defense. Mr. Suter commanded his bri-gade
not to allow li is rival to land on his
possessions, and himself armed with a
revolver ordered the transgressors to re-treat,
which they diil in grand order. A
prolonged suit was the result. Mr. Sutor
prosecuted Mr. Douglass for infringe-ment
on his rights which lio had attained
hy limitation, and also claims he lias a
charter and is entitled to ttie who'e priv-ilege
of running and controlling the ferry
as per ttie act of IKiiO. Douglass prose-cuted
Mr. Suier for riot and carrying
eoncealod weapons. The leading attor-neys
of Greensburg are employed on the
case. The suit is expected to come up
next month. A large number ol wit-nesses

GRANT’S FUNERAL,

the sum said originally to have been
bought by the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, $8,500,000. 1 am informed on
what I believe to be perfectly reliable
authority that Mr. Carnegie exacted
from the Pennsylvania railroad people
such concessions for the H- ( • Frick Coke
Company jq tfio matter of a transporta-tion
contract covering a term of five
years as will give that corporation id-most
as absolute a monopoly as that en-joyed
by the Standard Oil Company, nnd
enable them to secure control of the
entire Connollsvllle coke belt by freezing
out the other operators; provided, of
course, ttiat. the latter cannot secure
equal concessions from the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company, which is not ill
all probable. As I am informed, the
new contract provides that while the II,
C. Frick Company stmtl pay full rate for
a(l coke sent over the Pennsylvania rail-road
and its leased lines, they are to
have a secret rebate which will reduce
it to about one half the regain lari si.
In other words, Ca^negig figs secured
for them ft lontr.yt similar to that given
hy the late J. J'klgar Thompson to the
Edgar Thompson steel works, namely,
jjc per ton per mile for all first-class
freights, With such a heavy discrim-ination
in their favor, toe Frick Com-pany,
it will readily he seen,can distance
all competitors and compel them to
leave the field.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie, it will ho re-membered,
on several occasions rendered
effective service to the late J. Edgar
Thompson and Thomas A. Scott, in
placing large loans for them in the Eng-lish
market, and it is a very good guess
ttiat his present visit to that country is
for the purpose of placing the $2,000,000
of three per cent bonds paid hy the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for his
and his frienclx’ Interest in the South
Pennsylvania. He is said to he meet-ing
with encouraging success in his en-deavors,
and hopes to realize par or
nearly so.
noon’s CLAIMS (OH DAMAGES.
Tlieve still remains nnsettled two lia-bilities
against the South Pennsylvania
syndicate, outside ofany sub-contractors’
claims, which may prove troublesome.
If J. M. Hood, President of the West-ern
Maryland Railroad, can prove that
he has spent money in good faitli under
the torrnH of Ids contract, his suit may
cause trouble. It is said he contracted
to build aline of road through the city
of Baltimore to the Chesapeake water
front, which thus far he has failed to do,
owing to opposing influence in the Bal-timore
Councils worked by the Balti-more
and Ohio railroad. He also obli -
gated his company to construct a line oq
the northwest to a junotioq vyith the
main line of (fie South Pennsylvania
railroad. This, it is claimed, lie has
done, and this will, therefore, probably
form his measure of damages. He can-not
maintain consequential or prospec-tive
damages from increased business,
which he hoped would result from the
fulfillment of this contract, His bene-fits,
heyond a doubt, would have been
great, hut they are unaseertainable in a
legal sense.

NEGRO DESPERADOES.
A Band Said to Be ‘Wrrorazing n Com-munity*
A gang of 75 negroes who came up
from Virginia a few weeks ago, are en-camped
on the Allegheny Mountains
near Everett, ami are spreading terror
through the community. On Wednes-day
evening just, before dark the gang
made a descent upon a small tavern
kept by a man named John Garvey, at
Hie east end of the South Pennsylvania
tunnel. They battered the building al-most
to pieces and carried off all the
money, whiskey, tobacco and cigars they
could find about the premises. They
then crossed the mountain to the west
end of the tunnel and raided a gin mill
which is owned by Lewis Shaffer. Shaf-fer
and his wife were taken into the
woods, stripped of their clothing and
tied to separate trees. ,\t this place the
negroes secured $140 in money, whiskey
and. cigars. On Tuesday night a second
yafil was made on Garvey’s place and
two barrels of whiskey carried off. The
peaceable citizens of tho community,
though greatly alarmed for their per-sonal
safety, are afraid to make any ef-fort
whatever towards the apprehension
of the colored desperadoes.

THU causes of the present business de-pression
in Great Britain are to lie in-vestigated
by a Government commission.
In reply io a noble Lord who objected to
the commission as unnecessary, Mr.
Frederick Milner writes to the London
Times as follows:
“l think Lord William must be pro-pared
to admit that few inhabitants of
this country can recall a period of de-pression
which for severity and duration
can compare with that which wc are now
going through, and the end of which so
few are able to sec. At any rate I can
tell him lliat that is tho universal opinion
of all tile large manufacturers whom 1
have consulted in our large commercial
towns. I think it is reasonable when
such a terrible state of things exists that
all those who really have tho welfare of
their fellow countrymoil at heart should
wish to have a searching inquiry made
into the causes thereof by men thorough-ly
competent to conduct such an in-quiry.”
The report of tho commission will he
looked for with interest in this country
as well as in Great Britain. The cause
of the trouble there is certainly neither
protection nor the silver dollar. Well-informed
economists contend that the
gold standard is to blame, and there is
reason to believe that they are right.

SOME VALUABLE STATISTICS.
Statistics are valuable. Hero are some
that arc particularly interesting: The
whole number of Postmasters In the
classes appointed by tho President Is
a,233. The whole number in the class
appointed by the Postmaster-General Is
51,000. President Cleveland has already
appointed 450, and Postmaster-General
Vilas 3,500. That Is rn say, at the pres-ent
rate of putting Democrats Into office,
tlie work will he finished, so far as Mr.
Cleveland Is concerned, in about twenty
months, and so far ns Mr. Vilas is con-cerned,
about sixty eight months, or, say,

MEANING OF THE NAME GRANT.
An Extract From lira Book Written I))'
ICg-Proutdent Arthur'* Fatltef.
In the book on family names by the
late Rev. William Arthur, the fattier of
ex-President Arthur, the meaning of tlie
name Grant is explained. The hook is
entitled, “An Etymological Dictionary
of Family and Christian Surnames:”
“Of this name Flay fair remarks that it
may be derived from the Saxon, Irish, or
French. In the Saxon Grant signifies
crooked or bowed. Thus Cambridge,
the town and university in England, so
called, signifies a crooked bridge, or
rather a bridge upon tho Cam River, or
the crooked or winding river, Tlie
Saxons called this town Grant Bridge,
came in tlie British and Grant in tlie
Saxon being of the same significance-crooked.
“So Mons Grnmpliius, the Grampian
Hill, was called by tlie Saxons ‘Granz
Ben,’or‘the crooked bill,’but wc can
not sec how, from lids Saxon word, tlie
surname should lie borrowed.
“In tlie old Irish, grand ha signifies
ugly, brave, valorous, and from thence
many are inclined to think that the sur-name
Grant Is taken from grand, which
in the Irish Is sounded short, and thereby
the letter il at the end of the word is
changed into t, and thus grand into
grant. The surname, it seems, was thus
pronounced in England about 500 years
ago, for Richard Grant was made Arch-bishop
of Canterbury in tlie year 1229,
and Is, In Mr. Anderson’s genoologieal
tables, as well as by others, called Rich-ard
Grant. But the English historians
of that time writing in Latin, call him
Richard Magnus, which plainly shows
that they took Grant to lie tlie same with
tlie French Grand and the Latin Magnus,
to which let us and that in tlie old writs
tlie article ‘tlie’ is put before Hie sur-name
‘Grand.’ ”

BROAD GAUGED PHILANTHROPY.
Our county will be glad to know that
within its boundaries there lives a phil-anthropist
broad gauged In his views and
with such a horror of swindlers that lie
stands ready to adopt, any means to for-ever
break their shoollstlc influences.
The simple-minded citizen from the ru-ral
districts who lias lived among people
wh6 are honest and true, is a peculiarly
apt victim for tlie wiles of a shark who
will devour whatever comes within his
reach. These sharks generally may he
found in large numbers at travelling cir-cuses
and county fairs, and the last circus
which exhibited in this town was follow-ed
by as tough a gang as could well bo.
imagined. THE JOURNAL uttered a plain
warning to its readers concerning these
rascals and the consequence was that no
swindling game was attempted here. At
West Newton, however, the broad gau-ged
philanthropist appeared in hultnft of
an indangered people.
DENATIONALIZING GRANT’S GRAVE.
It is evident even In the pointed and
earnest expressions of tho leading jour-nals
of the country against making the
New York Central Park the Anal resting
place ofUeneral Grant, that they smother
the more emphatic expressions which
arc hindered only by respect for tl.e he
rea\\:d family of tho fallen hero. Tho
Bnltiirore American gently but plainly
reflects the general sentiment of the
country on the subject ns follows:
There is an evident purpose on the part of
Sboddyhood In New York to make tlie grave
of Grant a sort of show, like tlie obelisk, the
Bartholdi statue, tho Brooklyn bridge, and It
will bo impossible for tho American citizen
of tho future to feel for it the sort of rever-ence
that ho feels lor Mt. Vernon. The burial
at Central Park will, to some degree, dena-tionalize
tho grave. It will become a New
York show, like the elephant on Coney
Island. New York is the scene of all that is
most painful in Grant’s life. It was there
that he fell among millionaires and sharpers
and was dragged through humiliation un-speakable.
It is true that ho received kind-ness
and assistnneo there also, but who is It
that Is not grieved to remember Grant as a
receiver of charity ? The Grant that tho peo-ple
love and desire to hold In remembrance
is not the Grant of Wall street, but the Grant
who led tho Union armies to victory and who
for eight years was President of the United
SUvtes. At the Soldiers’ Home In Washing-ton
he might find a resting place amid tho
Union soldiers who poured out their blood
to earn Ills fame.
When we say that the leading public
journals of the country have spoken
with bated breath on the subjcctof Grant’s
final resting place, we speak what every
intelligent observer knows and feels;
and the significant silence of the New
York press is practically a confession of
the wrong that lias been Inflicted upon
the family of General Grant by incon-siderate
or interested parties. The coun-try
mourns even more than it mourns
the death of the Hero of Appomattox,
his connection with the New York ele-
,incut that clouded die evening of his
life witli unspeakable humiliation and
sorrow. He had finished Ins great work
and died, in the complete ripeness of un-rivalled
fume. The country and tlie
world had freely forgiven and forgotten
the errors which Now York Sboddyhood
had imposed upon General Grant; hilt
it would have ids ashes and ids fame
rescued from it in death.
There must be some sincere triends of
General Grant in New York who can
indict the faithful wounds of friendship
even over tlie liicr of tin*, dead. They
should rescue not only the dust of Gen-
Washington better.
Just twenty-eight years ago, according
to a recently-resurrected diary of a pri-vate

postmaster in Illinois, who had Just dis
covered that the regulations of tlie de-partment
required a quarterly report
from him:

STORIES ABOUT GRANT.
RELATED BY FORMER COMRADES OF
THE GREAT UNION COMMANDER.
He Wai
Civil nil(I Military Trails U"«
Bent to West Point—!**•’» s'v"r'' Not
Taken- Ills Ideas of Sudden Ilentli.
On the nlglit of General Grant’s tleatli
n score of soldiers anti politicians lather-ed
in a well-known club in New York
and a listener heard a remarkable series
of anecdotes of their former commander.
“I was in Galena,” said one, “In i860
and 1801.# Several times 1 tried to talk
with Grant about politics and the impend-ing
war. But It was no use. ‘I don’t
know anything about such things, lie
would say, ’anil I don’t want to know
anything about them. Tanning leather
Is my business now.’ ft was this disin-clination
to talk that made him a failure
as a clerk in Ills brother’s store. You
know the prime qualification of a coun-try
storekeeper, especially out West, is
to talk politics with the customers.”
“How did Grant get appointed to West
Point?” some one asked.
“Through his mother’s Influence.
Grant’s father, you know, was a politi-cian,
utid had a serious falling out with
the Congressman for that district. So,
when a vacancy at West Point occurred,
the old man wouldn't go to the Congress-man
and ask him to appoint I'lysseS.
But Grant’s mother was a woman of
great tact and influence, and she was
still on good terms with the Congress-man’s
wife. So she went to see her, and
got her to persuade her husband to ap-point
young Grant. It didn't require
much persuasion, either, for the Com
grcssmati was very anxious tc please old
Grant and get in Ids good graces again,
nnd this appointment brought about a
reconciliation between the two men.”
A MKSSAUK BEFORE VICK8BURO.
“At Vicksburg,” said a soldier, “when
Joe Johnston was advancing to raise the
siege and Sherman set out to meet him,
Grant wrote to Shernmn : ‘Vicksburg
seems to put a great deal of faith in the
Lord and Joe Johnston; but you must
wtiip Johnston and drive him away, and
1 will attend to the rest.' I don’t sup-pose
he exactly meant that be would
serve the Lord as lie wanted Sherman to
(treat Johnston.”
“1 once asked Grant,” said a promi-nent
Washington man, “if it was true
that the Government supported him in
lus campaigns more cordially than It did
any of Ids predecessors Ju command of
the Army of the Potomac. *1 don’t
know,' he said; ‘perhaps It did. But I
know there were strong influences and
combinations of influences working
against me all the time, both at Wash-ington
and in the army in the Held. I
never could And out the origin and ex-tent
of it, and it hampered and troubled
me a great deal. I don’t know but that
it would have discouraged me altogether
if It hadn’t been that 1 knew Lincoln
trusted me fully. It was that that cheered
me and kept me up.’
“It is remarkable,” said another,
“that death should come to Grant In this
form. His desire always was for a sud-
(Jen exit from the world, lie used to
speak of Garfield’s death, and hope such
never would he ills lot. ‘It piqst have
been terrible,’ lie would say, ‘for poor
Garlield to lie there, day after day, am)
see death coining remorselessly nearer
and nearer, and know there tvas no es-cape.
llis mental torments must have
been awful. I would a thousand times
prelcr sudden, even instantaneous death
to such as that. In fact, why should a
man who is ready to die fear sudden
death.’ And yet Grant’s own end came
in a lingering, agonizing form.”
Wliyr AN ol.p WA It CpKHEBPONDENT
SAYS.
In the early part of 1864, when It be-came
known that General Grant, who
liad just been made General of all the
Union Armies, was about to take com-mand
of the Army of the Potomac and
the most exciting and important military
movements were anticipated, I was or-dered
by niv paper to rejoin the army as
a war correspondent and write up events
as they occurred. I went first to Wash-ington
and reached there about the time
General Grant did. I first saw the Gon-tral
in the corridor of Willard’s Hotel,
the evening of the day he arrived from
the West. Did any onp man in this
world pypr |iavp a weightier responsibil-ity
resting on ids shoulders than General
Grant had at that time? lie had Just
been made General in Chief and on his
plan of action and by the orders lie was
to promulgate depended the movement
of armies Kast and West, aggregating
nearly 1,000,000 of fighting men, and the
immediate future, under Ids control, was
to decide the question whether this na-tion
was to livo as a whole or ho broken
up Into fragments warring with each
other.
A PICTURE OF GRANT.
When I saw General Grant at this time
lie was lazily leaning against the wall
near the cletk’s office, with one hand
thrust inside liis vest and the other in
Ills pants pocket, lie had a lighted cigar
in his mouth, which lie frequently took
out and blew forth wreaths of smoke. lie
wore an undress uniform and had a trav-el-
tired appearance generally. He was
engaged In quiet conversation with an
officer as he leaned against the wall and
appeared to he entirely oblivions to the
curious, steady game of a number of per-sons
wh.i wore standing around.
I know that the only wav to reach tlio
headquarters of the Army of the Potomac
at that time from Washington was by
taking the Orange and Alexandria Rail-road
to Brandy Station, and I also knew
that the railroad was under military
control and it would require an official
pass to take passage. I hail resolved, in
order to save time, to approach General
Grant, show him my credentials and ob-tain
an autograph permit from him to
tako tlie train in the morning for Brandy
Station, Just as I made up my mind to
address him tie strolled off with his nffi
cer friend and I lost sight of him that
night,
A PERMIT FROM THE GENERAL.
The next, morning I heard that Gene-ral
Grant was going down to the army
in the first train, and, accompanied by a
tellow-correspondent, named Edward
Crapscy, we hurried to the railroad sta-tion,
Imping to intercept tlie General and
obtain the coveted pass. We found
general grant seated In a ear ajl alone,
Smoking a cigar and looking over a news-paper.
I advanced and, showing him my
papers and stating my object, asked for
a permit to Visit nmiy headquarters. I
found tlie General approachable, affable
and conciliatory aud, handing him my
note hook ami load pencil, he leaned
hack in liis seat and wrote the permit.
Mr. Edward ('rnpsey (who came origi-nally
from Galena, 111.,) then advanced
and asked a similar favor, and IIS soon as
General Grant read Ids inline on tlie card
presented lie recognized him and remark-ed,
with a smile on Ids face:
“Edward Grapeey, eli ? Why, 1 knew
your mother before you was born.”
The General then spoke pleasantly to
II for a few minutes, when we retired,
delighted with tlie success of the inter-view.
We went on tlie train with General
Grant to Meade’s headquarters at Brandy
Station, hut the General kept on to Cul-pepper,
where lie went into close retire-ment
for several days and was seldom
seen by anybody. Asking an officer at
Culpepper one day what had become of
General Grant he replied tome: “Oh,
the General is keeping as close as possi-ble,
studying out the plan of tlie coining
campaign.” General Grant did not visit
Genci'g) Meade’s headquarters at Brandy
Station, which is only about a mile from
Culpepper, from tlie limit )ie arrived from
Washington until tlie grand ftq>y;ird
movement commenced, lie was engaged
«)J Uye tjnie it) deep, close study, and the
result of t hat stqdy »t Culpeper saved
tlie Union.
THE FIGHTING THAT FOLLOWED.
The famous forward movement of the
Army of tlie Potomac under Grant
across the Knpldati commenced at day-light
on the 3d of May, 1864, and was,
#s all readers are aware, followed by tlie
battles in tj.ie Wilderness, Spottsylvania,
North Anna, Cold Harbor, and culmi-nated
in the taking of Hiel)||)0))d and
General Lee’s surrender at Appomattox,
It is not my purpose in this article to
recount any of the terrible and bloody
scenes 1 witnessed during that memora-ble
cuihp&ign. They are matters of his-tory.
1 come at once to tlie next time I
saw General Grant after leaving him In
Lite pars at Brandy Station. On tlie af-ternoon
of tlie second day's lighting in
the Wilderness I happened to he iit Gen-eral
Meade’s headquarters, on a rising
piece of ground covered with pine trees
and which oyei'looked the battle-field.
While standing fliers jyjffi A scene of
fearful carnage going on in tlie woodc
all around, l saw General Grant, eover-with
dust, but entirely unattended, ad-advanning
up the hi)lsjdc toward General
Meade’s headquarters. He stopped and
by himself sat down on a tree stump and
pulled some paper out, which he quietly
scanned over. 1 then noticed him writ-ing
something. He then sat still awhile
and appeared t.O he tracing something
out on tlie paper or map bp held in ids
lap and soon afterwards went away by
himself. I noticed he spoke to no one
and nobody advanced toward him, but
a number of eyes worn on him. He
seemed to be remarkably calm, cool ami
collected, but was not then smoking a
cigar. I have always thought since that
when I saw General Grant at tills critical
time lie was stmljfng the path for the
advance of the army towards Sppttsyl-vania,
and which movement so astonish-ed
everybody then, and that when he
was writing he was framing the memor-able
dispatch to Washington containing
the words. “I propose to tight it out on
this line if it takes all summer,” At the
time I saw General Grant It was certain-ly
the most critical point of the three
day’s fighting in the Wilderness.
QF.IJFJIAL MEADE’S ANGER.
Shortly after this a newspaper was
brought to General Meade's headquar-ters
that contained a dispatch from Mr,
Grapsey which read: “Had it not been
for the presence of General Grant with
the Army of the Potomac General Meade
would have retired from the wilderness
with the entire army and reerossed tlie
Rnpidaii.” General Meade was so indig-nant
when lie read this dispatch that lie
ordered poor Grapsey (wlio Itnil only
stated the truth) to lie drummed out (if
tlie army and ordered not to return.
General Grant, although he knew Mr.
Grapsey personally, declined to counter-mand
the order for his dismissal out of
pure deference to tlie action of General
Meade.
While the worst of tlie fighting at
Spottsylvania Court House was going on
I was riding up a rising piece of ground
when l came upon General Grant,
surrounded by ids start', and all were
mounted. Tlie General stood a little
in advance of ills stall' and was
quietly and steadily \yatphjng tfip fight-ing
in the woods, a large open field
being between him aud the woods. As
I rode past I noticed that tlie stall' were
earnestly discussing some Incident of
the battle and one of them remarked!
“Well, we had a very graphic desupp
tion o| that from Mr. Washburne,"
(The Hon, E. H. Washburne, of Illinois,
who accompanied the army, and a per-sonal
friend of Grant’s,] General Grant
heard the remark and, turning Ills head
around, said, with a pleasant smile: “Oh,
well, you know Washburne was excited
at that time.”
On the memorable morning of the
twelfth ot May, General Hancock made
Ills celebrated charge at Siiottsylvaiiia
and captured General Edward Johnston
aud his division. The fighting was ter-rific
and tlie rain was falling In torrents
and I found myself standing in front of
a large camp-fire and close by me stqpd
General Grant, who was drying himself,
anil with him wffi'P tjenerajs Meade,
Humphries and Hunt, chief of artillery
Grant, while standing in front of the
fire, would gaze steadily and in silence
at the embers and then peer through tlie
storm in the direotlou where tlie hardest
musketry firing was heard. He seemed
quiet and contemplative and after look-ing
steadily forward for a while lie turn-ed
around to General Meade and said :
Well, let’s go over to headquarters and
see how things are there.” General
Meade, who seemed nervous and anxious,
turned to Grant and said : “I(old o,n a
||tt]e w-jdle, I want to stiii how Warren
develops himself oyer yonder.” They
remained a short time longer aud then
the entire party mounted their horses
and rode off.
HANCOCK’S CHARGE.
Soon after Hancock made his great
charge he sent tho following dispatch to
General Grant:
GENERAL: I have captured from
thirty to forty gims. I have finished up
Johnston and am now going into Early.
When General Grant read the dispatch
he made the sfippje re(par(i( “flu|ly,’<
and hqiulpd thp paper, in the other Gen-erals.
About noon outlie 12th of May 1
was seized with a desire to reach Wash-ington
that very night and telegraph to
Philadelphia and tlie north tlie news of
Hancock’s glorious and successful
charge. I knew there would lie difficul-ties
in the way, but l sought General
Grant, who was dining at a farm lion«n
near by, and told him what I wished to
do. The General had just got tip from
tlie table, and 'after hearing me lie re-marked,
while leaning against the door:
“I suppose you can get through without
much trouble. Tlie road is open to
not catch the farmer. I was covered
with dust from head to foot and was a
sad Right.”
“Did the farmer know yon?” inquired
the frieml.
“Well, I didn’t think he did; but hold
on a minute. I caught almost up to Idm.
Fredericksburg, and when you get there | The old fellow looked out of one side of
tlie Provost Marshal will give you a
horse and escort to Belle Plain Landing
and if you are in time you can catch tlie
Washington boat.”
I took General Grant’s ndviee and start-ed
off on a twelve-mile walk to Freder-icksburg,
not being able to take my horse.
At Fredericksburg I told the Provost
Marshal what General Grant lmil said
and lie furnished me with a horse and
orderly and I set out on a fonrleen-mlle
ride to Belle Plain Landing through a
guerilla country. Fortunately I caught
the steamer for Washington, where I
arrived late at night, hut in time to send
over the wires a full account of Han-cock’s
success In the morning and other
Important news that had an electrical
effect all over the north.

“U. S. GRANT,

It Is impossible to describe the effect
the reading of tfiJjj order had on the
troops. Everyone was expecting tft fipap
some momentous announcement, and
lienee listened with eager attention and
when it was finished looked at each
other in litter bewilderment and asked,
wliat did it mean?
The parade was qver, and tlie moment
they dispersed each one sought ail ex-planation
of tlie strange affair. It soon
leaked out, and by the time tlie crest-fallen
lieutenant was ready with Ills es
cort to leave camp It was In a perfect
uproar, ami peals of laughter followed
him as lip (Jeftled along the road on ids

Grant made no explanation of liis con-duct,
followed it by no reprimand. The
order carried its own lesson, adminis-tered
its own rebuke, and each one knew
that it would not be a safe business to
pass filli)self off for tlie Geueral-hi
Chief, much less forage in ids name for
liis own benefit. When tlie lieutenant
returned to camp, late in tlie evening,
lie W|)S glad to escape to Ids tent to avoid
tlie numberless questions end jokes about
tlie pumpkin pic.
GRANT AT CITY POINT.
On Hie night of tlie day tlmt General
Lee surrendered to General Grant at
Appomattox I met Grant at City Point.
It was after midnight am! lie had just
readied City Point ill the train from Ap-pomattox
Court House. He was accom-panied
by tlie members of liis staff and
when lie emerged from tlie railroad pgf
lie was still tlie cool, quiet, imperturba-ble
Grant. He had on a plain uedress
uniform, muddy top hoots and a fatigue
cap. He looked more like a hard-work-ing
army employer than a victorious
general who hail just conquered tho
greatest rehellion tlie world had ever
seen. He hardly presented tlie appear-ance
of an ordinary army officer, and
many of tlie officers of ids staff present-ed
far more )q|posing appearances than
Grant did. I was dose by him when lie
alighted from tlie train, and when lie
readied tlie board-walk lie called to one
of liis aids and said : “I guess those men
in charge of tlie freight ear know enough
to take care of our horses, don’t they?”
Being assured that tlie horses wouh| fie
properly attended to General Giant
slowly ascended tho steps up the cliff
that loti to liis log cabin at City Point,
aud about 2 A. M. lie threw himself on
on Ids couch and went to sleep, tifier tlie
most eventful day that any limn in tlie
world had ever passed through.
Ills FONDNESS FOR HORSES.
During tlie lust weeks of liis illness a
friend called on General Grant, mid be-gun
talking about horses, a favorite sub-ject
with tlie General.
“General,” he said, “I like to sit be-hind
one of those horses tfiat just doubles
up, with liis tail (lying straight behind
When 1 mi) holding the reins tightly, and
going about 2 :30.”
“That’s It f That’s It 1” cried the Gen-eral,
and Ills eyes glistened ami twinkled,
Although very weak, he smiled aud said
again; "That’s the way, Blit," he ad-ded,
with a sigh, “I'll novor ho able to
do that any more.”
From early last winter, when the first
sovero weather set in, the General lias
believed that he could not recover. Dr.
Douglas Raid to him one day : “Suppose,
General, you should get well? Suppose
in two months you could go out of this
room a well man?”
“Suppose!” replied the General, us if
soliloquizing. Arousing himself, lie
added:
“I would do many things over again.
1 would correct many things. And 1
would trumpet the praises of my doctors
the world over.”
The General, fiuring tfis illnesss, did
nut talk of llis war experiences so much
as of other tilings. A friend asked him
while lie sat in his easy chair, “General,
is it true ihat you were arrested in
Washington for last driving?”
“Yes,” lie answered, laughing at the
same time, “1 bought this horse Butcher
Boy from a Washington butcher. The
butcher made me pay him $375, although
he had paid only $125 a few days before.
Somebody had told him that when I saw
a horse l liked I would buy him. Well,
I was driving pretty fajt, ( knew the
policemen wu'ye watching me, hut I
iluiu't bother with them, for I wanted
to see what the old horse would do. I
was arrested, paid $10 fine and drove
slowly hack to the White House.”
A LONG BRANCH FACE.
“But let me tell you,” he continued
with animation, “about the time I was
at Long Branch, A gentleman said lie
had an $8000 horse, and if 1 wanted to
drive him I was welcome to do so. So
o:.e day I had him hitched tip and started
out As I was gouig along I eftfight \\p
with i)ii ojd fqriivMfi wfiq was driving an
old Iplug' |n front of a top-buggy. The
wind was hlowiug against him, too.
Well, lie just said ‘g’lang,’ and 1 never
saw so much dust fly in my life. Said I
to myself: ‘Grant, here you are sitting
behind an $8,000 horse, and let an old
fellow like that beat you.’ ‘No! no!
, said I. I shook tlie reins over my steed,
I but, though iio let himself out, I could
liis wagon and remarked:
“General, how do you like tlie dust?
I think It’s about time for a rain.”
“Well, I just clenched my teetli and
said to myself: ‘If this horse is worth
$8,000,000 I’m going to bent that farmer.’
With one fine spurt 1 went paRt him,
mid as I did I exclaimed : ‘My old friend,
turn your buggy into a sprinkling cart.
You’ll need it to keep down the dust.”
Tlie General lay hack in Ids sliair and
laughed. He was cheerful all that day.

How Watch Cases an Made,
In buying a silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is a very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, whiefi
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are tnftde of silver, which is
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accummulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.
81. LOOTS, MO„ Fsb. 17.1883.
Inour longand varied ** xpenence in handling watches,
we cannot but acknowledgeand giveour testimony that
the Kuytitono Solid Silver Watch Cases are the best
mule to our knowledge. Having no soldering they re-main
homogeneous, harder and stiff«r than they would
be were they heated for soldering, and havo more
resisting power against erensure than any other caseq
in the market. MKUMOU <fc JACCAKU JKWKWU GQ,
