GEN. GRANT In DISTRESS.
All His Effects Liable 70 Be Sold to Sat-
isfy the Vanderbilt Judgment.
The General Confined to His Room by H.
ness Caused by Anxiety Over the Stu
alton in Which lie Finds Himself

New YORK, Dec. 2I-An attorney who as
serted that he was acquainted with the facts,
said to-day that an inventory had been taken of
all General Grants possessions, under the judg-
ment entered against him in favor of William
H. Vanderbilt, for $3.50, 900 and interest, loaned
when General Grant was trying to save the firm
of Grant g. Ward from failure. The inventory
and executions under the Judgment we're taken,
he said, to protect General Grant as well as Mr.
Vanderbilt The executions cover houses in
Washington and Philadelphia, and farms near
St Louis and Chicago. The farms alone are
valued at $65, 900 and $25, 900 respectively and
with the other property, are ample to secure Mr..
Vanderbilt, as Mrs. Grant joins with the Cen
eral and gives up her life interest in the prop
erty mentioned. The inventory includes all the
presents of weapons, brica brac and rare articles
made to the General at different times by friends
at home and potentates abroad, the swords and
medals awarded him by Congress, his pictures
and books, his relics of the war, and even the en-
crossed cards ordered struck to express the
thanks of Congress-
Gen. Sherman, in his visit here learned of
the possibility that Gen. Grant might lose all
those articles; indeed, it is said that Gen. Grant
called council of with his old comraden-
arms over the situation. The result has been
that steps have been taken to relieve the prop
erty Gen. Sherman left the city to-day for
Philadelphia and will afterward visit Washing
ton. 1t is probable that he will continue there
the work that he begun here.
Cyrus w. Field said to-day: "Gen. Grants
swords medals and relics of the war may be sold
at any moment under mortgage to secure the
debt Of $I50,000 which he borrowed from Mr.
Vanderbilt to help tine firm of Grant 6 Ward.
and for which he has eonfe sed Judgment. This

fact. 1t was the first Snew of it. This

"a Y....les r. oi,nms, Simms a powerful
man, somewhat of pugilist and it seemed that
he had death-grip on the womans anections'
No amount of persuasion from Lewis could in
duce her to change her mind. She married
Simms.
Lewis returned to Clarksville sick and sore at
heart. He tried TO forget but it was more than
he could do At last he determined to be re-
vensed He whistled the Revenge Song in
ia Mascotte" delefully, and set about to ae-
complish his cherished task.
The woman who had deceived him had in her
possession bundle OF letters which ne had
written in some of his most happy moods and
which would stamp him as fool II ever Drought
to public notice. 1t was bitter to think that
James r. Simms, the man who had robbed nm
of Emma Lawson, would now have the freedom
of these silly love-messages Lewis determined
that he never should, if he could prevent it.
Once more the rejected sutton returned to
Louisville This time he did not come as the
penitent lover, ready to say something soothing
or make honorable amends. 1t was has mission
TO be revenged. Accordingly, he called at the
Office of Justice John Mccain, resolved to pro-
coed in the strict line of the law. The case in
all its details was explained to the magistrate.
"And, now" concluded Lewis. 81 have prom
ised never to return to Clarksvllle without those
letters. How can / secure themP
easy enough replied Justice Mccain.
"Sue out an order Of delivery"
Lewis signi6ed his willingness so take such
step In the order which he drew up ne stated
he was being unlawfully deprived Of their pos
session. $50
Half an hour later Constable Sam Webb. with
the order of delivery, knocked at the door OF the
three story brick boarding house, on Tenth
street, near Maple.
A pretty figure in blue Mother Hubbard
| and long blonde curls, came tripping down the
stairway and greeted the constable: -,
'sIwant to see Mrs James Il. Simms," said
| the constable. politely.
IT am the lady was the sweet response.
The order of delivery was then read, explained
| and executed.
"Of course you can have the letters. 1 only
wish | had time to read them to you. Some
them are the silliest things ever saw"
| Mrs. Simms left the constable at the door an'
hurried up stairs. In few minutes she reap
peared with hat-box full of dusty misslves
| which she delivered to Constable Webb
Meanwhile Lewis had been waiting patlentl.
| at the magistrates Office for the return OF the
Constable with the letters. The property wa
delivered to him, and after paying the cost
Lewis took his departure

THE FIELD OF FREDERICKSBURG.
The Terrible sufferings that Followed Day
of HerOism.

Boston Congregatonalist.
These are anniversary days Twenty two
years have passed since fredericksburg" Of
what then was, not much is left but memory.
Faces and forms of men and things that then
were have changed-perchance to dust New
life has covered some; the rest look but linger
ing farewells
But, whatever changes may beautify those
storm-swept and barren slopes, there is one
character from which they can never pass.
Death gardens, haunted by glorious ghosts, they
must abide. No bloom can there unfold which
does not wear the rich token of the inheritance
of heroic blood; no breeze be waited that does
not bear the breath of the immortal life there
breathed away.
Of all that splendid but unavailing valor no
one has told the story; nor can l. The pen
has no wing to follow where that sacrifice and
devotion sped their flight But memory may
rest down on some night scenes too quiet and
sombre with shadow to be wildly depicted,
and yet which have their interest from very
contrast with the tangled and lurid lights of
battle.
