Gen. Grant and Elihu Washburne.

You have no personal knowledge,
suppose, of Eihus early relations with
President Grant at Galena?"
"No; about all 1 know about it have
heard from other persons"
did you ever hear the story that
Elihu lent Gen. Grant money to equip
himself for the WARP"
Il don't know much about their fnan-
cial relations. A prominent man in Ga
lena told me this: That Grant was
called forward to preside at q soldiers
meeting, and he told Elihu, as his Con-
gresham, that he thought it was his
duty to go into the army. Elihu gave
him letter to Gov. Yates, recommend
ing him as an ex-officer of the regular
army, who had graduated at West Point,
and who ought to have regiment. My
informant said that Yates put Grant in
the Adjutant's Office, and set him to
copying. After a while Grant said to
the Governor: You can get a man to
do this work at 81 day, and, if this is
all you have to give me, shall go back
to Galena. The day following his ar
rival in Galena I am told that gentle
man saw Grant between daybreak and
sunrise walking with Eihu Washburne
down to the railroad depot. The train
which leaves Dunleith, going south,
comes through Galena very early in the
me rning. My brother Elihu was carry
ing Grants carpet-bag, and going to the
station with him. This gentleman says
be saw them together, and says that
Elihu, as soon as Grant came back from
Springfield, told him to return again in
stantly with a more peremptory letter,
and to stay until Yates would give him
a regiment. If that is true, it is rather
significant thing. Grant might have
become a mere Lieutenant or Captain,
and not have pressed his way to the
front as soon as he did."-Interuie,o
With Charles n. Washburne, IN Phil
Idelphia Press.

A Gentlemanly Tramp.
l tramp's reputation as a gent

A tramp's reputation as a gentleman
of leisure whose impulses are good,
all cit his habits are bad, and who, like
Joseph Poorgrass, feels his humble
gratitude for favors received, stands
indicated. Fours years ago, Dakota
farmer--a brother-in-law, by the way, of
Kellogg, who fell beside General Custer,
on the Little Big Horn-had finished
his supper, when dirty, ragged, foot
sore tramp called at the house and
begged for something to eat, saying he
was on his way to California, but had
hard luck, having been taken sick after
starting. Mr.. Stafford made him well
come, and his wife went to work and
cooked supper for the stranger. They
not only allowed him to stay ovor night,
but entertained him for week, until
he had recovered his health. Two
months ago, the stranger, who during
his four years absence in California had
" struck IL rich," went back to Dakota,
and, in disguise, again spent the night
under Mr.. Saffords roof. The next
the tramp departed without
making himself known and the CONVEX
sation and incident had been forgotten,
when the good people received through
the postoffice a sealed package, which

Tail Hold.

At the Reno court of inquiry, in
Chicago, Lieut. De Rudio was one of
the witnesses, and his examination was
brought to q close by the following
amusing little episode. To appreciate
the joke, the reader must understand
that Girard was one of the witnesses
who thought that Maj. Reno displayed
the white feather in getting out of the
way of the Indians, that he did not act
gallantly in the retreat, and that he
(Girard) wasn't bit frightened at the
sudden onset of the red warriors:
