the teachers of the school. The classes
were highly complimentcd for good
work by the superintendent. On Thurs

gramme was carried out by the members
of the B. class as published two weeks
ago. On Friday afternoon a large audi
ence gathered to listen to the gradual
ting exercises of the A. and senior class
es. In the opinion of the writer the eX-
ercises were unusually good. In most OF
these exercises the progressional work
of the school was made prominent. The
illustration of methods made with class
of little folks was new feature of the
occasion and was most happy in eXecu-
ton by the young ladies. Honorable
mention is certainly due to the lesson in
music by Miss Hatch. The orations and
essays were we'll prepared and finely rem
dered. The well earned certificates were
presented by Principal A. FL. Campbell

Personal RecolIections of Him by War
Correspondents.

Personal RecolIections of Him by War
Correspondents.
Immediately on receipt of intelligence
announcing the death of the greatest soldier
of the century, the manager of the STATE
JOURNAL requested me to write column Of
personal recollectiens of him. Of course,
in the midst of the hurry incident to pre-
pairing matter for daily newspaper, this
work can be but imperfectly performed;
bnt have some recollections of the hero in
my mind which will never leave it so long
as life and reason remain.
These recollections are, however, confined
mainly to single one of General Grants
campaigns, and that, too, campaign which
by no means exhibited his military great
ness in its most favorable light. Perhaps,
however it displayed his personal character
istics as strongly as any. l refer to the cam
paign which occupied the late autumn of
1858, and ended with the decisive victory of
Mission Ridge.
The first time I ever saw Grant was just
after the fall of Fort Donelson, in 1852.
When he was pointed out to me l saw
seemingly dull stolid. almost stupid-looking
man, whom, so far as his personal appear

wagon train, or of q drove o. govern
ment mules. "Can that be Grant2"
asked of an officer who afterward became
distinguished general in the Army of the
Cumberland. YES" he replied, that's
Grant. You can see in every feature OF his
countenance the marks of the dissipation in
which he indulges. Even now, think, he
is pretty deeply under the influence OF
LIQUOR. 1 shouldn't wonder If ne should go
of in a fit OF deliriUm tremens soon. Any
how, he will not long remain in the army"
This officer lived long enough to perceive
and acknowledge the injustice he had done
to Grant; but it Is certain that at
that time the latter was generally
believed in the army to be addicted 70
the excessive use of Intoxicating liquors.
How such an impression came 70 prevail Il
is difficult thoroughly 70 explain; for what
ever NAV have been Grants habits in early
life. have every reason to believe that long
before the taking of Fort Donelson he had
almost, if not entirely ceased the use of in
toxicating liquors in any FORM and if he
drank at all, it was only wine and that very
sparingly. incline to think that the opin-
ion concerning him to which / have referred
arose almost wholly from his sluggish and
apathetic appearance, and this was such that
it closely resembled an advanced stage Of
stupid drunkenness. This stolid, expression
less countenanee of his and his slow
and heavy bodily movements were much
more remarkable and prominent at that time
than they were afterward. The truth is he
had not as yet walked up to a consciousness

interview, after what the President had just

as he saw me he smiled, as il anticipating
my curiosity, and said: 81 was not able

1t is great mistake to suppose that
Grant was always silent man. he was,
in fact, great talker, and good talker.
His opinions of men and things were freely
expressed, but he was peculiar in that he
was only laxative when surrounded by
those whom he knew to be his friends.
Let stranger, or one whom he distrusted,
enter the room while he was talking and
his flow of conversation would cease very
suddenly, and would not again begin
while the supposed unfriendly person was
present.
Grant was always mild hammered, and
temperate in speech. He never considered
it Necessary to interlard his conversation
with profanity, or with rough or slangy
terms. Even in narration he avoided the
use of profanity even in quotation marks,
and in all my intercourse with him do
not recall an expression that he could not

Vice President, while Horace Greeley and
B. Gratz Brown were the candidates of both
tie Liberal Republicans and the Democrats
Grant and Wilson received 2S6 votes in
the electoral college against so for
the other candidates. Grants popular ma
jority over Greeley was 762, 991. During the
last session of the Forty-second Congress the
salary of the President was doubled and
those of the Vice President, Speaker of the
House, justices of the Supreme court and
heads of departments increased 25 per cent.
W. M, Richardson of Massachusetts, became
secretary of the treasury March 4, 1873, and
was succeeded on June 2. 1874, by B. H.
Bristow of Kentucky. On the death If Chief
Justice Chase in 1873, the President nomi-
mated successfully G. H. Williams, Caleb
Cushing and Morrison R. Waite of Ohio.
Waite was confirmed. On April %, 1874, he
vetoed the bill to increase the national cur
rency.
After retiring from public life March 4,
1877, the general spent some time in looking
after his private affairs and arranged for his
Celebrated Tour Around the World.
His departure from New York in May of that
year was memorable occasion. He was ac-
companied by Mrs. Grant, John Russell
Young and others. During his tour he was
given the freedom of all cities in Europe and
Asia, and was received at the courts Of for
eign countries with the highest honors and
splendor. The powers OF Europe rivaled
each other in showing respect 10 the

The financial troubles of the deceased are
so well known that they hardly need repeti-
ton. A partner in the firm of Grant 4
Ward the New York bankers, he secured a
loan OF $150000 of w. II. Vanderbilt in or
der to tide over the difficulties of that firm,
but when the crush came he
Surrendered All His Property to Vanderbilt
in order to satisfy the loan. Grant at once
surrendered the deeds to all his prop
erty for the debt, but Vanderbilt
refused to acceptit After some correspond
ence with which our readers are familiar it
was agreed that Vanderbilt should give to
Mrs. Grant the deeds OF their property, to be
kept by her during her lifetime, the gifts
medals, swords, etc., OF the general to be
presented by Mr.. Vanderbilt, and by him
given to the United States government to be
kept in Washington as archives of the
nation.
The illness of the deceased was cancer of
the tongue, brought about, it is supposed, by
the excessive use of tobacco. Daily bulle-
tins of his condition have been heralded
through the country and the greatest inter
est taken in him and his fast-failing condi-
ton. q
General Grant was placed on the retired
list of the army, with full rank and pay,
during the last hour OF the recent session Of
Congress, by the provisions of which act he
was to receive $13,500 per year. The efforts
TO get the bill through Congress are readily
recalled.

and other countries the honors were equally
great and grand in demonstrations. During
this tour royal blood, mobiles and plebians
We'd with each other in giving the hero
tokens of regard and these gifts formed the
finest collection in the world
On his arrival at San Francisco in 1879
Grant was welcomed to his native shore with
a magnificent reception and the most enthu-
siastic demonstrations. After this the trip
across the continent was one continuous pro-
cession of grand oyations. The leading cities
seemed to outdo themselves on these occa-
sions. The demonstrations surpassed any of
the greatest political occasions. In this role
Columbus Played Her Part Wen.
The next turn in the life of this remarkable
man was the candidacy for the third term as
President before the Republican National
convention at Chicago in June, 1880 The
history of that contest is well remembered,
notably by the 306 delegates who stuck to
Grant to the last ballot even after it was
known that Garfield had q majority of the
delegates.
While he seemed to have liking for pub
lie life in the civil service, he desired no
more active military life. While reviewing
the English army he told the Duke of Cam
bridge that he did not want ever to COM
mand an army again. He was no doubt the
foremost soldier and the foremost civilian of
his times, and was recognized as the most
eminent man living in the world

employees in CO Jnsequence of the reduction in
the hours OF labor which Congress had en-
acted. In 1871 President Grant urged the

to effect tn is and also one by which thepenin-
sula and hay of Samana were ceded to
the United States for fifty years at an an
mud rental of s150000 in gold, had
been signed November %, 1859, on behalf of
President Grant and President Baez. Early
in 1870 these treaties were confirmed by
popular vote In Santo Domingo but 1t was
believed that q free election had not been
held, and it was said that in anticipation of
annexation the Dominican government had
granted to private individuals every valuable
franchise orpiece of propertyin its possession.
In conformity with a resolution OF Congress,
President Grant appointed Benjamin f.

and s. g. Howe Of Massachusetts, as COM
missioners to visit Santo Domingo, accom-
panied by several scientific men, and report
upon the condition of the country, the gov
