WAS secured on JEFF Davis plantation.
He was an easy animal to ride aud
was easily guided and rough ins and
outs, but when fording streams JEFF
was at q disadvantage. There was be-
sides a noble, big, bay-colored fellow
named Cincinnati, which General
Grant used to ride. Thpt horse would
ford 6 stream magnificently. 1t was
on little Je1 that General Grant,
accompanied by myself and
aA orderly, rode TO the front on the
morning when there was an hour OF
delay in the explosion OF our mine at
Petersburg. The general wore a little
blue blouse that morning, and many
ot the mon, as we passed TO the front,
did not know that its wearer was Gem
eral Grant. The firing was becoming
very heavy, and suggested that we
dismount, because we could get about
much easier. l did not say that the
firing was terrific, for that would have
been to him no argument for dis
mounting. So we dismounted, the
orderly holding little jeff by the bri-
die, and then General Grant made his
way through lines of works clear out
to the front, whore the firing was
heavy, indeed, but h0 was a man who

and the only one except another who
ever saw who would not involuntarily
do so. The other was bugler. Cen
eral Grant was q Rip Van Dam sort of
mana man Of the people. He en-
Ioyed being among his men during the
war, and in private life
when riding in r special
car perhaps he would go forward and
take half q seat with some passenger
in the front car when he wanted to
smoke. 1t is sad-ssd that with 10
ripe years before him, such man
should needs be taken away, and
think the loss will be more appreci-
Eted by the people as time goes on"
WHEN THE REMAINS CAN BE VIEWED.
1t Is desired that the friends and the
public should know that on the morn

Grant In the cottage parlor, where
they will lilo in state that day. On
that day the principal funeral

in Riel's approaching trial, by II stale
ment made by Thomas Holmes, u
Wingham barrister, and widely circu-
lated by the newspapers, pointing out
that there is flaw in the indictment
against the rebel chief, through
which he will, in all probability, get
acquitted, and 20 through a stupid
blundcr, escape punishment. 1t is
contended he is charged with being II
traitor to the queen while being hciug
her subject; now il ltiel is not "a sub

indicted, not under the statute of

was under the last statute that the
Fenians were punished and it is for
the cOutravention OF il that Rel
