From the Chicago htsr-Ocean. VI II.
tract the following interesting interview:
The Rev. DR.. Newman. pastor Of the
Central Methodist Church In New York
City. Is making a brief visit In Chicago.
Last evening he was met by . represent
alive OF the hier- OCEAN at the residence
Of General Logan. on Calmut avenue.
and the conversation naturally turned
upon General Grant. The reporter
asked. "whsn did you last hear from
General Grant 2"
"A letter reached me about two weeks
ago." replied the Doctor. He wal on
the eve Of leaving Paris for the north.
He gave me q description OF his journey
MP the Nile, and his reception by the
Khedivs OF Egypt. I had been over the
ground twice myself. and could judge oil
the accuracy Of his statsmsnts. There
is one thing peculiar about Grant-that
Is his prodigious memory. Cicero and
| Edward Everett had great powers OF
memory, but Of . different character.
They could speak for hours. rsciting
orations or poetry. but his memory 10 OF
men. faces. places and facts. He told
every point Of the route, and all the
Egyptian and Arabic names were spelled
with the utmost accuracy. i had told
him that when he reached Joppa he had
better 60 up to Jerusalem. but to prepare
| his mind for what he would see. 1 told
him he would be disappointed. but that
he must forget the present and think OF
the past; TO 20 up and ait on the Mount
Of Olives, and contemplate Its history.
He wrote me that he had done 81 i ad.
vised, and he could not holp thinking
that the country looked like q land that
had been decaying for two thousand
years. The point I wish TO make Ii that
General Grant Is travelling around the
world, making the closest observation.
and when hs returns hs will bs the best
informed man in America upon the man.
ners, institutions. geography. Topography.
populations, and, above all. the rssour.
ces Of all the peoples OF the globe.
This nation has never appreciated the
intellectual greatness OF the man. His
mind Is not one OF ratiocination. but Of
intuition. He grasps u thing instantly
and unerrinsly."
HAS he ever mentioned the next
Presidency in his letters TO your"
Eyes. wrote him that every u
WAS asking me about his sentiments re-
,arding the third term. He replied that
he had been through the trials and
labors Of sixteen years Of public life
and was taking q rest"
"what do you think about his will.
ingnsss to accept the ofics again 2"
ct think such u thing Is furthest from
his thoughts. What can he gain by II ?
Nothing. He car be NO greater. He In
already the greatest living American.
But General Grant is supremacy honest,
entirely conscientious. and should an
emergency arise where America
demanded his services again. ! know he
would not refuse. He would regard II
as a call Of Providence. and he has Of.
ten related TO me various instances
wherein be has pointed out the provi-
Dental events Of his life. He will never
do the slightsst thing to bring 10 about.
but II the people. with sp~ontaneity.
should elect him. he would give his ser.
vices to the country again. His admin.
istration would be one beyond compare
son with that OF any predecessor. in
view Of the observations abroad In add.
ton to the eminent fitness OF the man
previously"
"Do You think the people are likely
to demand his services In the Executive
chair again 2"
"Ths indications are In view OF
the unsettled condition Of things now.
that the better class Of our citizens are
convinced more and more every day that
We need q strong government at Wash.
ington. We have not that now. We
never had q weaker administration since
the foundation Of the Government than
at this time. A great deal depends upon
the personality Of tho President. Every
one knows that Grant Is q power in
himself. He Ia an army OF one. I
should not DO surprised II the day
would come when the people will de-
mand him to take the head OF the nation
once more. They could not do q wiser
thing. lie is the greatest living Ameri-
can to-day"
"Ths distinguished attention he Is
receiving abroad is in marked contrast
with the manner In which be was treated
BY President Hayes at the beginning Of
| the %latter's administration 2"
