General Grants Love Story.
Philadelphia Times, December l6.

Phladelphia Times, December 16.
With the name of the good woman
and faithful wife who accompanies
General Grant to our city there is
some romance connected. While
Grant was a cadet at West Point he
had a friend, or chunky" as the "ple-
bes' say, for whom he formed a strong
attachment. When leaving the &C
ademy in 1913 his young friend invited
him to pay avisit to his home and the
invitation was accepted. On being
gazetted to his regiment, the Fourth
infantry, Grant took tie usual three
months leave and went to see his
friend and classmate, Frederick Dent
who lived with his father, Judge Dent,
at St. Louis. 1t was here Grant saw
for the first time Julia Dent, his
friends sister, she being then girl
of seventeen. The little lieutenant
laid seige to her girlish heart and soon
won her consent to become his wife.
The Dents lived about four miles from
Jefferson barracks, and Grant, to his
inexpressible delight, was ordered
stationed at the barracks. War clouds
with Mexico were arising and Grant
was soon ordered off with his regi-
ment. All !! then there was hasten
ing to and fro with the little lieuten-
ant, and the marriage had to be post
poned. The leaving of sweetheart
behind is about the hardest thing in
all nature, but it often happens to
officers of the army. How many times
we have seen pale Hamlet stalking
through the camp late at night with
an order in his pocket for the frontier |!
Talk of sickness, death in the family
the loss of a father, brother or sister
what are these things when com
pared with the blow which tears a
fond young fellow away from pair
of loving arms? If the little lieuten-
ant ever wept it was when he thus
parted fIon his devoted Julia to take
the chances of getting his head knock
ed off in Mexico. Grant participated
in sixteen battl in Mexico and
at the close of the war returned to ST.
Louis with his regiment, and in l048
was married 10 Miss Julia Dent. Many
people will contrast the gray-haired
soldier whicti the boy and wonder
what he looked like. An officer who
was at the Military Academy when
Grant was o cadet there gives the
