Grant and Mcdonald.

The Mcdonald expose of the famous
Whisky Ring is kicking up a tremen-
dous dust in the camp of the faithful" {"
and the air is full of refutation and de-
nal. The Chicago papers last Wednes-
day published an interview with gen.
tleman who claims to have been an eye
witness to q singularinteryiew between
President Grant and General John Nfs.6
Donald in 1877, shortly after the latter's
pardon and release from the penitenli-
ary. The President was talking with
three friends at the White House, when
a servant brought a card which he
handed TO President Grant. The card

IRONTON. MO. THURSDAY AUGUST

Chronicle, in consequence of the al
legged interview, sought for and found
| General Mcdonald Thursday afternoon,
| in the rotunda of the Lindell, talking
with couple Of friends. He acceded
to the Chronicle mans desire for a few
| moments conversation. AT his request
the reporter read to him the story from
Chicago. the General not having his
glasses with him. He laughed hearth
ly, and designated it a lie made out OF
whole cloth. He then called his two
friends and the story was read again.
"Where did you say it was from?"
said Gen. Mcdonald.
"From Chicago" was the reply.
"I think I know where it eminated
from. I denounced a United States
Marshal there as a scoundrel and thief
in presence of a number of people and
I presume the story originated from
that source"
"Now I wish to say" the General
continued, "that the last time l spoke
to Gen. g ant was September Is, 1875.
never opened my lips to him or he to
me during his visit here after that, al
though we sat at adjoining tables at
the Lindell Hotel i'm the dining room
on the Sixth street side, the first time
saw him since my pardon. When 1
went to Washington, it was in the in
terest of Joyce's pardon, and 1 never
went to see the President while 1 was
there. Babcock, Jim Casey and Or
will Grant visited me and urged me to
go and see the old man. Babcock came
every day, but declined to do so. Now
l am ready TO stick up to all have said
with every drop of my blood and every
hair on my head"
In conclusion the General said: "They
can get up all the lies about me they
will, but they cannot overcome the
facts (very empPatically) that 1 have
given"

impossible for them to make thorough
examination; but from their observa-

GEN. JOHN MCDONALD,
MISSOURI PENITENTIARY.

President Grant paused a momen
and then said, show the gentleman
in." Gen. Mcdonald appeared short!
afterward with his usual air of careless
bravado, and a look Of jaunty impu'
dence in his smiling face.
"You appear to be in a remarkable
state of health" said the President
slowly.
Gen. Mcdonnell nodded.
Gen. Grant continued 1" pardOned
you out of the penitentiary on the GER
lificates of the physicians that you
were dying, that death was matter OF
n short time unless you we're re-
leased. If / had known the truth
and been aware of your real health
should have allowed you to re-
main"
McDonald's eyes had dropped un-
der the steady look of the Presi-
dent, Who's face blaZed with indigna-
ton at the deception practiced upon
him.
Without pausing, Gen. Grant turned
to a servant and said, "Show the gen.
tleman the door"
"McDonald SUNK out of the room ike
a whipped cur" said the narrator of this
scene.

view," says the dispatch from Chicago,
sis u gentleman whose word will not be
questioned by any one. AT the time of
the occurrence in question, though
he was no friend of the
Presidents, having vigorously opposed
a second term. He was also conscious
from partial knowledge of the facts
that as Mcdonald had repeatedly said
the President was aware of the exist
ence of the Whisky Ring, and practi-
cally in the power of the consprators.
The scene between Grant and McDon-
aid convinced him that Mcdonald had
lied as usual and that Gen. Grant was
as innocent of any knowledge of the
vast conspiracy against the Govern
ment as a babe unborn. The gentle
man stated in the course of the inter-
view that just previous to the sitting
IF the National Republican Convention
came to Chicago and vainly

Hurrah! Winfield.

NDeath's DOor.v

Deaths Door" is n significant name.
A CORES pondent has been at Port du
Mort, "as the French call it. and has a
rather sensational and tragic story to
tell regarding the little green bay and
Lake Michigan strait. This occurred,
he says, in February, 1877. and has never
before been published. Mentioning that
Deaths Door was so named because
nearly the whole tribe of Pottawatomie
Indians were drowned in trying to cross
the strait, the correspondent says that
two winters ago an old fisherman and
his son sailed from Detroit harbor on
their return to Sister Bay, where they
lived. They disappeared and were not
seen again for forty days. One day
about the middle of March the light
house keeper en- Cana island saw two
men drifting down with the ice out of
Deaths Door. They sat upright in the
stern of the boat, side by side. The old
man sat with his arms folded, slightly
bent forward, resting them on his knees.
The son was bolt upright. AS the boat
passed with the swift cnrrent and crack
ing ice the keepers crutinized them with
his spy-glass. To his surprise, neither
of tho men moved. He adjusted his
glass again, bringing them nearer:
Then he saw that both wero dead and
frozen stiff. Icieles were hanging from
the fathers beard, On his hat was
frozen snow. His face wore the express
sion of man in the deepest agony.
The sons features were at rest and his
eyes CLASSY in their stare. Theoboat
swept by, and neither boat nor ccu-
pants were ever seen afterward.

How a Lunch Was Sold.

The proprietor of the Silver Palace
restaurant at the depot in Sacramento Is
an individual apparently equal TO an
emergency. A few mornings since n
man who intended to go East by the
emigrant train with his family was
bargaining with the restaurant keeper
for lunch of large dimensions, ana
{" Ben" was holding out for big price.
The cars containing the emigrant pas
scngers were about TO be moved from
one track to another, but Ben had infor-
nation that they would not leave for the
East until 3P. NJ While he and the
passenger were discussing the price de-
manded for the lunch switch-engine
coupled on 10 the cars and began NOV
ing them out OF the depot. The passen-
ger WIS much distressed. inveighing
against his ill-luck in not being ready,
and made rush TO get on board. Ben.
however, detained him, saying with
ready wit that he would signal the
train to return, and pulled three times
upon n rope used to open and close .
arge door Of the restaurant. When in
the course of minute the cars stopped
and backed up, the passenger was 50
grateful that he not only paid all that
was asked for the lunch. but over
wheImed Ben with thanks.
