---"Gcneral Grant colored lad, II or
lsyears OF age, gave smaller boy than
himself quite drubbing, q few days ago,
and every since then has been lodging the
cops of the city. Yesterday he was picked
up, however, and while en- route for the
Squre's office, he availed himself Of little
diversion of the officers attention, and
broke away into run. The speed he made
was certainly marvellous. A cloud Of dust
moved along the street at the rate OF about
twenty miles an hour, and Genera! Grant
was in the middle Of it. AS it is quite prob
able that the Justice would have dismissed
him with lecture, the policeman didn't
feel inclined to make 81 miles ~ hour in
order to overhaul him.

orders to deny visitors admission. The old
gentleman has been slowly failing, mentally
us well as physically, for several years; but
as he was yet on the sunny side Of three
score and ten, he seemed 20 have promise
of several years of life. He has always
shown himself kind-hearted, genial gen

years AGO, he took rank among the most

Illinois. But his work here is nearly at it,
