THE MiIsoaukee Meas says that pr omin-
ent and reliable citizen of Wisconsin was
told by Gen. Sherman, when on his recent
visit to Milwaukee, ''that Gen. Grants real
name is Hiram S. Grant, and not Ulysses s.
Grant, as he is usually designated. General
Sherman stated that the name by which
General Grant goes was acquired By the
blunder of the member of congress who
recommended General Grant for the military
academy, when he handed in the name of
young Grant to the secretary of war. At
ter his appointment to West Point the en-
bryo lieutenant general endeavored to secure
a correction Of the error, but the officer of
the academy declined to do so for want of
authority, and referred the matter to the
war department where for some reason it
was neglected. The modest student of mill
itary tactics finally fanked the difficulty by
assuming the name which accident and the
official record assigned him His mother,
however never forgot to call him Hiram,
and Ulysses never fails to respond to the
CALL" Whatever truth there may be in this
statement we cannot say
