Hersldry OF tho Gran Family.

Heraldry Of the Gran Family.
Communication to Editor of the Graphic
Admiral Grant, of England, in 1000,
was the "Wellington" Of Europe, and
the motto on his coat of arms was
"Stand fast" His son General Grant.
settled in the north part Of Ireland, and
his motto was "I'll stand sure" His
son, General Grant, had as his
motto, "Immobile." These three as
sisted England in subjugatiug the East
Indies. An older motto of the family
was "Jehu Gireh," 1--WE drive every
thing before us); another, "Touch not
the cat but with glove" The shield
of the Grant family has twelve quarter
ings, being -rnblazoned with their
trophies IN tue East. And when our
General Grant said before Richmond,
"I'I light it out on this line If it takes
all summcr," he reiterated the motto
Of the Grant family back for three hun
dred years. 1t was the custom to say
when Nellie Grant travelled in England
that she was the daughter Of plebiean
among royalty; and yet she had but to
refer to the armorial bearings Of her
ancestry to show that their heraldry
was parallel to that of the reigning
family of the realm. And General
Grant stands before the American peo-
pie to-day and represents the high mil
itary status of his ancestry, the culture
and military genius of those ancient
worthless who were the power behind
the throne, and General Grant to day
evidently aspires only to such a posi-
tion in the Republic.
