"The Soldiers Friend"

An incident lately occurred on one Of
the New York aud Jersey City ferry
boats which is illustrative Of more than
one trait in General Grants character, and
which one Of our artists who happened 70
witness it, has placed on wood aud en- >
grayed for our readers.
General Grant lately paid visit 10
West Point, and being desirous Of avoid.
ing that greatest Of nusapces 10 a modest
man like himself--the over.ciyility Of the
people along his route--trayeled incog-
nilo; not exactly 10 disguise, but dressed
so differently from his usual habit that he
was recognizable TO but few. But our
artist, Dir. Joweit. had made during the
war too many portraits of the General to
be deceived bya change in his wearing
apparel, and at glance recognized In the
shaded face the features Of the "first Gen.
eral Of the ago." ha
While General Grant remained iu the
cabin Of the boat no was approached by
one Of those disabled veterans who are
employed, or who employ themselves, 10
selling the newspaper known Ms "The
Soldiers Friend" a journal by.the-wsy.
Of unusual merit aside from its charitable
object, aud copy was laid 9o his knee.

place. They Invited the gentlemen; gai--
lanted them TO the house. and after srri-

hats and overcoats, and accompanied them
to seats. The ladies then devoted them
selves to entertaining their guests; leading
in games Of amusement, aud causing the
hours TO pass swiftly by their vivacious
