The Great Unpumpable.

A correspondent tells the follow
ing about General Grant: l heard a
story of General Grant the other
day, which shows how wholly "un-
pumpable" he is. When he and
Seward were travelling about the
country with President johnson,
great effort was made to induce
Ulysses to express himself on polit-
ical subjects. Seward and several
other shrewd fellows piled Grant
with wine when he was here, hoping
that it might loosen the Generals
tongue. He had drank number
of glasses one evening, and deem
ing the occasion and hour favora-
BILE, Seward remarked: Well, Cen
eral, what do you think of Ben But
Ter ?" believing that, as y. S. G.
hated Butler, he would be explicit
on the subject Grant seemed re-
fecting for a few seconds, and then
remarked very deliberately: "Ben
ButlerS Well, l don't believe in
him much" Stewards eyes twink
led he had drawn out the hero at
last. "Ill bet my pile that Dext
can beat him any day"
A loud laugh greeted the discom-
ited Seward, who is reported to
have said afterward, that Grant
might make a very good hose
ockey, but he wasn't worth a d-n
'or President.
