The butcher would do so for a proper consideration. The proper con- sideration was estimated at $250. which was paid. Subsequently,, after driving out with Senator Conkling, the President said, Come to the stable and look at new horse I've bought" Ms Conkling who is something of judge of horses, looked him over thorough ly, poked hlm here, punched him there, and did all that frst class Senator and horseman should do in such a case s
 'Where did you get him?" asked the Senator 4 z----T -- ~ -
 q bought him of butcher" replied the President. es
 "How much did you pay for him?"
 Two hundred and fifty. dollars, " answered General Grant.
