Mrs. Grant fn Public life.

"Were you with Gen. Grant much during
the warp
Il was part of the time with him, but not
as the newspapers have represented. / had 4
paper sent me the other day with an article
marked, in which [ was represented as being
much better than l am, and as doing many
things which were impossible. For instance,
it was stated that after a battle in which the
general was engaged l invariably hurried to
the front to be of what service [ might. Now
that was not true at all. The General would
iiet have put up with 1t at all. He would have
been very angry if l had appeared at such a
time, and | knew it. | was also stated that |
had busted myself IN hunting out poor people
upon whom to bestow aims. That was also
incorrect. Enough of such people always
found me | did not have to seek them out.
Then ! was reported as busying myself in
seeking positions for wealthy young ladies in
the treasury department, and for other appli-
cants in other places. Now my husband
would not allow that. 1 did nothing of the
kind to influence him. | don't think-in
fact, I'm sure | didn't-that in the whole two
terms in which he was president l obtained
more than two appointments. 30. you see,
the newspapers were wrong"
al remember to have seen it stated that
long before the war you often predicted that
your husband woul be president" interrupt
ed some one.
"Yes,I know such statements have been
made, but they very utterly without founda
ton. l did not dream of my husband becom-
ing President any length of time before he
was actually called to the position. In fact,
l was not ambitious to have him fill the posi-
ton until they began to abuse him. l was
perfectly satisfied to have him remain Gerer-
al of the Army. About two weeks before the
convention which nominated him, [ spoke to
him about the reports that were being circu-
latee that he would receive the nomination,
and asked him if he thought he would be
nominated, and he said he thought he would
be, and that If he were chosen he would be
elected. | asked him If he thought he could
a,i the etiice, and he replied that he thought
he could do as we'll as most Others."-Mrs
Graat.s Mterrietc, in Dearer Tribune.

E. +. johnson went down to Silver Star
last Saturday, and on his return brought with
him POI ounces of bright gold bullion, the re-
suit of a run on 50 tons of ore from the Sill
yer Star lode. Four ounces of gold to the
ton is pretty good medicine to take, and we
understand there Is plenty more Of the same
kind in sight in the mine.
We learn that several experts have been
examining the mineral region round about
Pony this summer, and it is likely that works
suitable for the treatment of the ores, which
are too base for reduction by stamp-mill pro-
cess, will be erected there at an early day.

One Of the advantages this parish
enjoys IS the cheap rate of travel Il
and from New Orleans. None oil
The other pine woods parishes is 50
accessible. No dust nor heat rem
der the journey unpleasant. Once
aboard the New Camelia, the pas
senger is safely and speedily landed
in st. Tanmmy, with a clean face
and clean shirt-and all for fifty
cents.
The Sunbeam is again advertised
to arrive at the Old Landing, but
the card in the city papers is SO in
definite that people in the country
can not find out when the boat
leaves the Old Landing for the
city. The Sunbeam is a nice boat,
and we suggest that there is
sufficient trade and travel from this
parish to justify the owners or man
ayers OF the Sunbeam in making q
proper effort to secure its share.
