WHAT GRANT SAID TO BUCKNER.

Strength of the Nation.

The Sufferers Testimony to the Peace and
Strength of the Nation.
New York dispatch: When Gen. Simon B.
Buckner, OF Kentucky, was at Mt. Mo.
Gregor last week he had a long and inter.
esting interview with Gen. Grant. He said
a~fterward, in a n indicating that he
was deeply affected by what had passed be-
tween them, that the visit had been purely
of q private and personal nature, and that
he did not feel at liberty to disclose what
had transpired. ut was q wish on nv
part" he said, ITO renew the old associa-
ton which existed between us before the
war that led me to take the trip"
Gen. Buckner, while he refused to make
public any portion of the interview, carried
away with him a number of slips OF paper
on which Gen. Grant had written answers
to his various inquiries. After some con-
versatlon as to their old comradeship and
the general condition OF public affairs, Gen.
Grant wrote out, in a slow and steady
way, the following sentences:
L have witnessed since my sickness lust
what L wished to see ever since the war
harmony and good feeling between the Sec
lions. have always commended that if
there had been nobody left but the soldiers
we would have had peace in a year. -
and - are the only two thatI know who
do not seem to be satisfied on the southern
side. We have SOM on ours who fail I'd to
accomplish as much as they wished, or who
did not get warmed up to the fight until it
was all over; who have not had quite full
satisfaction. The great majority, too, of
those who did not go into the war have
long since grown tired of the long controv-
ersy. We may now well look forward to a
perpetual peace at home and a national
strength that will screen us against any
foreign complication. 1 believe, myself,
that the war is worth all it cost us, fearful
as that was. Since it was over 1 have WIS.,
tied every state in Europe, and a number
in the east. know, as l did not before,
the value OF our inheritance.
General Buckner did not permit the
names to be seen or copied where blanks
are left. 1t is believed, from the associa-
ton i'll which they are mentioned, and be-
cause OF other circumstances, that the
name OF Jubal A. Early and one OF the
Hills fill them in the original. General
Buckner is in no way responsible for this
supposition. In committing the emora
dunn in trust he made this expression:
General Grants noble sentiments show
that he has the good of the country at
heart in the last moments of his life.

In Her Efforts to Paint London Red She
Mounts a Fire Engine and Guides the
Fiery Steeds.
London cable: The latest adventure of
Sarah B%ernhardt is the talk OF the town,
and people are laughing at the fright into
which several timorous dodgers were thrown
by the freak OF the famous actress.
Sarah arrived in London a week or two
ago and began an engagement at the Gaiety
theatre. The theatre has been crowded.
Notwithstanding the warm weather, and
the popularity OF Mile. Bernhardt does not
seem to wanei in the least. Sarah is stop
ping at a secluded Inc heightened hotel in
Richmond, a fashionable suburb of the
metropolis. 1t has been her custom to
catch the last train for Richmond each
night after the performance was over.
Last night Sarah stepped into a fashion
able restaurant with a couple of friends,
and dalied SO long with the bill-of-fare,
that it grew very late without the jolly
party recognizing the fact. When, at
length, Sarah reached the depot. she dis
covered that the last train for Richmond
had gone some time before her arrival.
Sarah stamped her little foot, and wanted
to hire a special train, but the station
master said that it could not be done,
much to her disgust.
You had better hire ahackmant to drive
you out" he suggested, and Bernhardt con-
cluded to adopt the suggestion. A bargain
was soon concluded with a Jehu, who was
lettering around the depot, and Sarah set
tied herself pack in the cab and tried to 90
to sleep.
After driving for what seemed to be sew
eral hours Sarah looked out OF the window
and discovered, to her CONSERVATION, that
she was in an entirely unfamiliar portion
OF Richmond.
thought the actress, as she opened the
door OF the cab and leaped out. The driver
saw her and stopped the vehicle.
Where are WEI" asked Sarah, imperi-
ously, "and what do you mean by taking
me all over London?"
The driver stammered out that he had
lost his way and acknowledged that he did
not know where they were.
Then l will find my way home myself"
resoiutely exclaimed Sarah, as she started
away, leaving the cab-driver to grope his
way back to the city. Mile. Bernhardt
started in the direction which she sup
posed her hotel to be in, and had not gone
two blocks before a fire engine came along
Just returning from a fire. Sarah hailed
the driver and was informed that her hotel
was about hall a mile from where she
stood.
The driver courteously offered to drive
her there, as it was right in his direction.
Sarah accepted the invitation and
climbed on the drivers seat. She told him
who she was, and insisted upon taking the
reins in her own hands.
Now, let her huml' she cried, as she
struck the horses with the whip and the
engine dashed over the cobblestones in a
break-neck

Uncle Sam Snubbed,

Some time Ago., a y a Washington dis
patch, the department of state demanded
the release OF Santos, q n~aturalized Ameri-
can citizen who was imprisoned by the
Ecuadorian government on a charge OF be-
ing connected with a revolution in that
country. No reply has yet been received
from the president OF Ecuador, and the
representative OF the United States in that
country has been requested to acquaint
the authorities here with the reason of the
delay in acknowledging this governments
request. Santos has been imprisoned a
number of months. His property was
seized prior to his Imprisonment. The
authorities OF this country asked that he
be given q trial. This was refused. The
request for release was also refused. OF
late the government of Ecuador has APP
parently ignored every request made by
this government in relation to Santos

to New York which has since been called his
home. He was the candidate of what was
known as the Stalwart element OF the re-
publican party in 1880, but was defeated
by Garfield. He was elected president OF
the Mexican Central railway and visited
Mexico on behalf of this country in the in
terest of that road. His son, Ulysses s..
Grant, Jr., married a daughter of ex-Sena-
tor j. =. Chaffee, OF Colorado, and his en-
gaging in the banking business with Fer
nando B. Ward at New York doubtless
drew the general to that city. The failure
of the firm OF Grant & Ward last June
caused some scandal in financial circles,
but the general, although he lost his wealth,
lost none OF his integrity OF character
thereby. During the early spring OF 1884
as the general was stepping from his car
rage in front OF his own residence, he
slipped and fell, bruising his hip very Sc
verely and iarring his system. He was
confined to his home for some time, but
finally re~cuperated, and during the summer
went to Long Branch where he spent sew
eral months. While there he discovered
the cancer in his mouth which finally
proved the cause OF his demise. 1t was
then in the form of a small hard lump in
the roof oil his mouth, and while
occasioning him discomfort caused no
alarm. 1t grew worse, however, until death
claimed him.
The general lately had written a number
of articles to the Century and other maya
zines and at the time of his death was en-
gagged in personal history OF the late war.
He leaves a widow, three sons, Col. Fred
D., Ulysses S., Jr., and Jesse Grant, and
one daughter, Nellie Grant.

The few pedestrians who were passing.
turned and gazed wonderingly at the fair
driver and her novel vehicle. As they en-
tered quiet square in which Sarah's hotel
islocated, the driver rang the bell like mad.
Sarah lashed the horses end emitted an
occasional ~Commanche yell. Windows
were thrown open, people rushed down
stairs clad in their night garments and a
scene OF great confusion and excitement
took place.
The engine rushed up to the door OF the
hotel and Sarah jumped off her high perch
like a circus rider. She laughed at the con-
s%ternation OF the dodgers and invited the
driver and fireman of the engine to into
lunch. The other guests complained to
managers OF the hotel about the occur
renee, but the slim Sarah snaps her fingers
at them and declares it was the most ex-
citing and enjoyable ride OF her life.
