And the Waverly Republican capped the
climax Of offending by adding by way Of com

Anecdote of General Grant.

After the capture of Vieksburg
steamers ran in there to take furlough
troops up the river, charging as high
as $50 for passage from Vicksburg
TO Cairo. Says our author:
The steamer had its decks crowded
with soldiers Grant asked man
standing on the wheelhouse and Civ
ing orders loudly, care you the Cap,
tain of this boat p
~ es General"
GLOW many soldiers have you on
board ?"
'About 200"
"What have you charged them for
fare to Cairo ?"
"From ten to twenty five dollars
each, General"
"Ten to twenty dollars each :?
Is that all ? Why, that is too moder-
ate 1t is pity you should have to
take the boys for so small sum-
You had better wait while"
Speaking TO TO the officer on board,
he walked away The steam whis>
tied. tho bell rang. the wheels began
to move but, Tor some reason, she
was not cast off The men could not
understand it until, in few moments,
an order came from the guard to keep
the steamer until the Captain paid
back all over 81 taken for fare from
each officer, and all over IS from each
soldier, and the order was obeyed.-
The men knew they had been vic
timized, but felt helpless. When
they learned what the General had
done they gave "three cheers for
Grant" with a will.
Grant said to one Of his staff, "I'll
teach these steamboat men that the
boys who have opened the river for
them are not TO be plundered of their
hard earnings on their first trip home.
If trade is to follow the flag SO soon,
1t shall be honest trade, so far as |
can control it"

Edward Everett.

Mrs. Lydia Maria Child tells the
following anecdote of Edward Ev>
erett:
When Mr.. Everett was preparing
lecture or address, he is said to
have been the habit Of ARRANGING
everything very carefully before
hand. When about to deliver a
speech at Lexington in commemora>
ton of the battle on the 10 of April,
1875, he inquired whether anyone
who had fought on that occasion was
still living. Being informed that
one old man survived, he called up
on him, and after some conversation
concerning the events of the Revol~
ution, he said 'In my address |
shall make an allusion to those who
fought at the battle of Lexington
| want you to sit in front Of me, and
when begin to allude to those he
roes | want you to stand up" The
old soldier obeyed his instructions );
but as soon as he rose from his seat
Mr. Everett extended his arm, as the
statue now does, and exclaimed Sit
down venerable sir, sit down 1t is
for US to stand in your presence. =
The aged man obeyed the direction,
but in the simplicity of his heart be
was quite bewildered by such con
Trajectory orders. He had no idea
how effects were produced IN oratory
and be afterward said to a friend !:
81 don't know what Mr.. Everett
meant; first he told me to get up,
and then when | got up he told me
to sit down."
