southern Feeling Toward Grant

Cincinnati Enquirer Interview with General
10. Wheeler.
Reporter-Is there not a good feel
ing toward Grant among the southern
army officers
General Wheeler-There is, un'
doubleday, because we know that GEN
eral Grant always felt kindly toward
the officers of the confederate army,
and was willing to do all he could for
us after the war. While he was a
candidate for the second term it was
understood hal if elected he would
do something for the relief of those
officers who had lost everything by
the war. | believe he intended to,
but was prevented from doing SO. II
you remember he did get an Office fol-
Colonel McLaws, but the opposition
was then so great that he could
do no more. McLaws really
needed the position, and then bis
wife was a friend Of Grants wife, and
| have no doubt that Mrs. Grant in
sisted on McLaws getting the position
hence Grant made an extra effort; bui

4 DRIVE IN THE ALPS.

Alter dinner we started on the Simplon
road for Italy, in n curious carriage, half
coach and half diligence. There were
four horses the first part of the way, al
terward three. Behind these sat the driver
and behind him were two seats higher up,
with sort of chaise top rs protection
against the sun and rain. Then came the
four inside seats, and last of all large
rack for trunks. Underneath the body
of the carriage was good-sized box for
small luggage. An honest, broad-taced,
Swiss stable boy sat with the driver. to
carry back the extra horse when he should
be no longer needed. Up we went,
through the marrow roughly-paved streets,
scattering foot passengers right and left
with a terrific explosion OF whip cracks.
A Swiss driver will crack his whip on the
slightest provocation. If there is a chance
OF an echo from the whitewashed walls
beside the road. if laborer looks up from
his work in the field near by, if hen
pauses in the middle of the road to reflect
AS il is the nature of her kind to do
the lash whirls through the air and calls
out SO sharply that even the sober old
| leaders. who must be used TO IL. jump in
spite of themselves.
After the village was once left fairly be-
hind, the road rose up rapidly with an
even grade of one in thirteen, until we
came to the first refuge. There are tif-
teen or twenty OF these buildings sta
toned at intervals along the road. for
travellers in time of need. They are
small stone huts occupied by country peo-
pie of uneouth look and tone. All the
peasantry hereabouts speak a sort of Ger
man patois, in which they converse cheer
fully. II sounds to me like the remarks
of peculiarly exasperated turkey.
After n few minutes rest for the horses
we drove on. The road soon made n
short turn round thickly wooded spur,
and from that time until the journeys
end ran along close beside the edge of
depths so great that tall frs growing at
the bottom looked like little shiny trees
with which children stock their toy farm
yards. Still higher and higher the road
now clnging 10 the face of the rock. now
lcaping cataracts. still rising. until one
after another of the refugees have been
passed. and patches of snow will then ap-
pear among the flowers.
At one spot we stopped near huge
drift and made Summer snowballs
Here says the driver quietly, lis the
worst place on the road for avalanches.
short time ago several people perished
here, in the Winter" The rocks over
head seem to be set like trap for the
human mice that creep so slowly past
them. Look (the driver again pointing
with his whiphandle to a heap of enor-
nous boulders beside the road). they fell

we pass into a stone gallery. or tunnel and
