Il HAVE SEEN" writes a reliable cor
respondent, many accounts of the way
in which the doctors of General Grant
were paid, in all of which accounts Mr..
George W Childs and Mr.. Drexel were
credited with advancing the money. In
deed it was stated in most Of the stories |
saw that they had paid ali demands of the
doctors without reference of the bills TO
the family at all. But it is nevertheless
the fact that they never contributed sin
gle dollar towards the payment of the
physicians. Why? Probably because
nobody asked them. The entire amount
was raised by Mr.. George Jones of the
New York Times; and it was raised, like
the famous $500 fund, without any
unnecessary palaver or publicity. Mr..
Jones simply saw the opportunity to
serve the family of General Grant once
more and seized it. That was all Mr..
Jones had willing coadjutors in a great
number of persons, whom | have no
authority to name, but one of whom will
name in spite of renonsuance which
know will be raised The first person to
whom Mr.. Jones applied for a subscrip,
ton for the payment of the doctors
claims was Mr.. Frank Work He respond
ed with check for 81 900. But shortly
after sending it he wrote note in which
he said be was not exactly satisfied that
he had done all he ought to have done in
the matter and enclosed therein was an
other check for 81, 500. The claims of the
physicians were liquidated by Mr.. Jones
down to July 5, and think he has looked
after their interest sufficiently"

Gould was caught short of the market, was
compelled to settle at loss of 81, 500, 900,
and had since declared his resolve to join
the bull ranks There was not word Of
truth in this story. He and his brokers sold
pile of what are known as Gould special

tone. They still continue to sell all the
market will take, but they don't talk so
bearish any longer, for they saw that
the boari-room traders were making
