MRs, GRANT.


The Washington correspondent
of Western journal has this 20
say of Mrs. Gen. Grant
Few women ever bore the perilous test
Of sudden fame and fortunes with more
hearty happiness, or more unassuming
grace. Is she pretty2 No. She is a
roly-poly Of little woman, with beau
tiful neck, hands ard feet Her features
are well cut, but her eyes are crossed.
Some of her friends wished her 20 have
them Strengthened "No," she said, "Mr.
Grant had loved her ever since she was
little girl with her eyes crossed. He had
said that she would not be herself 10
him if they were straight. Crooked they
should remain. If he was satisfied, what
mattered it to other people.
