Gen. Grants Missouri Farm.


One of the possessions of the Grant
family, which will now probably go to
pay their debts, is their old Dent farm
near ST. Louis. 1t is about ten miles
from the city, perhaps fifteen, on the
Carondelet branch of the Missouri Pa
cifc railroad. 1T was eft to Mrs
Grant by her father. and is now held
probably in her individual name. It
was there Nhere Mrs Grant was raised
and it was from there that Gen. Grant
used to haul wood to ST. Lou s. The
place W looks V ell worn and some
what dilapidated, though it has
an immense barn, built some
years ago when Gen Grant pur-
chased number of fine horses and
left them there. 1t was his intention at
one time to turn the old Tent home
stead into an extensive stock farm, but
he soon got tired of the experiment and
had sale whereat he let go all his fine
horses.
was there last spring and the once
splendid farm was only reminder of
what it had been. The only family
re idance where en-. and Mrs. Grant
had lived for number of yea s was
almost read to .mble down iro n age
and neglect, and al that was left to re.
mind one of Gen. Grants abortive ven
ture in stockraising were the magnifi-
cent but empty barn, and vasrant
broken-down mule that minced the
grass lonely enough in slovenly-look
ing pasture. Mrs. Graut has always
retained a warm affection for her family
homestead, and when she an the gen
eral were in St. Lou the last time
they hired Mr.. Jes Arnot's best pair
of horses and drove out to spend the
day there.

A Shabby Excuse.
REV. John Hall.I

Men do things which their fathers
would have deprecated, and then draw
about themselves a tiimsy Gordon of
sophistry and talk about the advance of
.humanit. and liberal thought. v hen it is
nothing after all but a preference for
individual license.
