z Into the al-embracing net Of Mr.. Bonner,
where in democratic equality founder col
lege presidents, eminent divines, editors, old
public functionares, Cobbs, Ferns and South
worths, has come at last j. r. Grant ESQ.,
postmaster of Covington Ky. He is gentle
man of seventy tour years, and proposes to tel
the world something of the early lite of his
boy" Ulysses. The grandfather and great
grandfather Of Ulysses were soldiers and the
Latter fell at the battle of White Plains; hence
the COvington postmaster well remarks that
his son comes of good fighting stock"
The first incident mentioned illustrative of
the character of Ulysses is the following:
About two years ago, | had made up MY
mind that ! should enjoy more seeing the
principal part of my property in the possess
ion of my children than / should keeping II
in my own. General Grant SAID ne had dohe
soothing towards making it, ana dld not want
any OF it. The Government had provided for
him so well that l acqulesced III ms view.
My son Orvil who is in business IN chicago,
received the larger share: ara my daughters
got about twenty thousand dollars apiece
kept share for myself.
The most of Mr.. Grants first instalment of
"reminiscences is devoted to setting forth the
passionate love for horses which from the first
was pionilncHt tralu IN ULYSSES character
Several anecdotes are given showing not only
his attachment to his equine favorites but al
so a habit he formed in his earliest years of
lighting it out on that line" One of them
is this:
once, when he was boy, a show came
along In which there was mschievous pony,
trained to go round the ring like lightning,
and he was expected to throw any boy that at
tempted to ride him.
will any boy come forward and ride this
pony" shouted the ring-master
Ulysses stepped forward, and mounted the
pony. The performance began. Round and
round and round the ring went the pony, fas-
ter and faster, making the greatest effort to
dismount the rider. But Ulysses sat as steady
as if he had grown to the pOny's back. Pres
emily out came large monkey and sprang up
behind Ulysses. The people set up great
shout OF laughter, and on the pony ran; but it
all produced no effect on the rider Then the
rng-master made the monkey jump upon to
Ulysses shoulders, standing with his feet on
his shoulders, and with his hands holding ON
to his hair. At this there was another and
still louder shout, but not muscle of Ulysses
face moved, There was MT tremor of his
nerves. A few more rounds aud the ring mas
ter gave it up; he had come across boy that
the pony and the.monkey both could not dis
mount.

| GRAND CONCERT. The concert Ia st evening
in City Hall, under the direction of the Grand
Army of the Republic, drew fine audience
and every thing was conducted in excellent
order, just as might be expected from the
character of the gentlemen who had the man
agement of it. Our citizens are brought I'M
der obligations to Post No. 2 for such a must
cal entertainment as was given them last eve
ming. The music of Gilmore's military and
brass band was of a high order of merit and
came fully up to the expectations of. the
audience. These musicians are so well known
all over our own country that they need no
praise from us. NJ. Arbuckle's cornet play
ing astonishes and pleases all who hear it,
No doubt he stands at the head of those who
play upon his favorite instrument. He is no
stranger to our citizens and the more they
hear him the better they appreciate his admit
rable music
Dr.. Guilmette performed his role to the en-
tire satisfaction of his sauditors. He is emf
nent as basso singer and never fails to inter
est an audience. The Doctor sings because
he loves to sing, and such singers generally
succeed in winning applause.
The solo upon the violin by Mr.. j. G. Mulla-
ly was very artistic performance. This
young man has brighten career before
him. He touches the strings as if he had
soul for music. His tones are clear, and his
staccaGo passages distinct and crisp. From
his playing last evening we think he will
make his mark in the musical world. Mr. A.
Schmidt's clarionet solo was excellent. The
Cuckoo Polka was capital and finely appre-
ciated. But we have not time to speak of the
performances in detail.
This was the first of series of five enter
taiment which the management propose to
give our citizens, and we judge from the dem
onstrations last evening that the enterprise
will be crowned with complete success. We
trust it will be. The management have prom
ised some excellent things, and from last eye-
ning's entertainment we have no doubt but
their promise will be strictly fulfilled.
After the concert the floor of the hall was
cleared, and gay and brilliant company oc-
cupied it with dancing.
Post No. may congratulate themselves
that they have made good beginning, and
they may rest assured that the public will sus-
tain them in carrying our their enterprise

HENRY CLAY DEANS LAsr.-If any sold

HENRY CLAY DEANS LAsT.-If any soldier
can vote the Democratic ticket after reading
the following from late speech OF the lnta-
nous Henry Clay Dean, i'll New Hampshire,
he must be strangely wanting in self respect:
III could have my way, l would place jeff
Davis in Congress, where he rightfully be-
LONGS. then / would go to Concord take all
those miserable battle flags from the State
Honse. and make bonfire of them in the
State House yard then / would 90 all through
the North and destroy all the monuments and
grave-stones erected to the memory of SOL
diers; in short, would put ont of sight every
thing which reminds us that we ever had a
war with our Southern brethren I do not
know as | would hang one-legged and one
armed soldiers, but l would pray to God to
get them out of the way as soon as possible.
1t any soldier in this city is known to have
declared his intention to vote the Democratic
ticket next Monday, read the above to him,
and he will probably change his mind. The
Democrats of this State cannot well dis"laim
responsibility for this foul-mouthed brawler.
They have sent two of their own number, one
of whom has been for two years their candi-
date for Governor, to cooperate with him,
Pillsbury of Augusta and Clay of Gardiner

Soldier and the cause in which he imperlled

They are working lively together. Soldiers of

they talk of physical force to sustain the
same unhappy individual; thus John Hecker
Of New York with his call for vigilance COM
mittee; thus, we are glad to say, small mi
nority of the Democratic party. This is the
Mexican element of the people. They are sug-
gestive of the usurpations, pronunciamentos
and coslps d'etot of our unhappy sister re-
public. Fortunately they are but few, and
can be easily taken care of before they are able
to do much harm beyond getting themselves
hanged
