STRANGE STORY ABOUT GEN.
GRANT.
Philadelphia sunday Transcript


During the past summer Gen. Grant,
with a numberof friends, made trout
fishing trip in one of the Middle States.
In the company was a quick, whole
souled Democrat, who voted for the
General in 1872 because he believed
him to be the winning man. This gen.
deman and Grant, weary of piscatorial
pleasures, left the party early in the
day and returned to the quarters where
they were to spend the night. Some
hours after, when the rsst came in,
Grant and his Democratic friend were
found with half-emptied whisky bot
tie between them, discus ing the
propriety OF the General declaring
himself Emperor of the nation-his
Democratic friend insisting that re-
publican government was failure, and
that with the army in command he not
only could, but ought to at once imi-
tate Louis Napoleon. When the party
entered, this part of the programme
was nearly settled to the satisfaction Of
both, when the President was asked by
his Democratic friend what kind of a
son he had to succeed him in case of
contingencies, whereupon Grant en-
tered freely into the discussion of the
abilities of his boys, declaring emphat-
ically that one of them at least was
able to wear a crown.
