Grants Personal Courage.

An officer who served on Gen. Grants
staff, says:
"a description of the general would be
incomplete without some reference to his
absolute GOODNESS in the presence of danger.
He may have known what fear was, but he
certainly never evinced such q feeling. and
was sometimes actually reckless in the way
in which he would expose himself todanger.
Whenever he thought it necessary TO havea
personal knowledge OF what was going on
in front, he would ride out to the skirmish
line, directly under fire, and would stay
there until he had learned what he wanted.
On some OF these occasions he ran great
risks, but did not pay the slightest heed to
the representations OF the stan, who would
beg that some ofthen might he sent to make
the reconnaissance for him. il he made
any reply at all it would simply he. There
is something l must see for myself On
one occasion it seemed as though there
must have been a miraculous interposition
between him and death. 1t was on the
Boynton plank road, south OF Petersburg.
All OF the staff had been sent off in different
directions, and the country was so wooded
that the old man couldn't see what was CO.
ing on, so he rode out IN front, to
within two hundred yards of the enemy
skirmish line, having with him only
Gen. Bahcock and Sergt. Fitzgerald, OF
the Fifth cavalry. The rebs had stretched
telegraph wires across theroad, and in can
tering along the generals horse got caught
in them so that hccouldnotget loose. Bah
cock and the orderly jumped down and had
to work some five minutes before the horse
could be freed, and in the meantime the
enemy caught sight Of the general and
opened fire on HIM. They say the bullets
whistled all around him, but he sat there as
COO as a cucumber, putfineawar alta cigar,
and taking mental notes Of the enemy's po-
sltion. Not n shot struck any OF them,
however, and as soon as the horse was out
Of his snarl they galloped back into our
lines ut full speed. The only remark the
general made about it at the time was,
,ihose were rather warm quarters, and
then he went on directing the battle. by
dove, sir, no man who served under Grant
could help admiring him, and the more he
learned OF the old mans characteristics
the deeper that admiration crew.

The Cleveland iron masters who
have lately been confronted with a
dangerous strike, are not entirely
blameless. They We're especially I'M
wise in bringing over, at the time OF
some former troubles, a great many
ignorant and degraded Poles and Boz
hemians, whose only recommendation
was that they were glad to work at
lower wages than workmen already in
the country were willing to accept.
For q time the iron masters profited
blythe heaplabor ofthese immigrants,
but when they had learned the con-
ditions Of their employment they be-
unmanageabl than themen
they hadreplaced. Theyhad no sense
of the responsibilities Of citizenship,
no capacity OF desire for self-control.
In their Ignorance they believed that
the freedom and thegovernment ofthe
people Of which they had heard meant
that they could do as they pleased
and that their employers must COM
ply with their demands. They have
had a practical lesson. and also the
iron masters.

down to New York and after looking the
ground over, concluded that Riverside Park,
New York, near Central Park. should be the
place of sepulchre. The matterhaving been
thus presented to the family conclusion
was reached in accord with the colonel's
suggestion.
The Riverside Park covers LII acres, and
il has been in possession of the city since
1872. 1t is 100 feet above the water level,
and on Il clear day one can see up the river
more thar twenty miles. Every tourist
that comes down the river can see the mon,
umcnt when two hours distant fromit, and
every pleasure seeker that leaves the city
in the rays Of the morning sun and in
the evening twilight. 1t is easily ac-
cesssblc. 1t can be reached by the
elevated road, the cable cars, the horse cars
or Hudson River railroad. The burial
place will be on the site of the st. Glare
homestead, nov known as the Claremont
house. This building stands on a high
plateau at the end OF Riverside Park. The
building was the home Of the st. Clare
family, and, when the grounds about it
were acquired by the city, the old building,
which has stood for more than 100 ear.
on the same site, was remodeled and rams
formed into Il house for refreshments under
the control OF the park department. The
tomb and monument to Gen. Grant will
be directly on the site OF this building,
which must be demolished or removed.
The following resolutions were then adopt
ed by the board OF Aldermen: Whereas,
The family OF Gen. U. S Grant have accept
ed the offer OF the corporation OF the city OF
New York, for a sepulcher in one ofthepub-
lie parks OF this city, and have selected a
site in Riverside Park for that purpose, be
it therefore Resolved, That the right OF
sepulcher in said Riverside Park be, and is
hereby given to Gen. U. S. Grant and his
wife. upon her demise. Resolved, That a
proper deed OF c~ession for the purposedesig-
mated be prepared by the counsel to the
corporation, when the exact locality and
dimensions OF the ground are fixed, and the
said deed be therefore duly executed by
the city authorities.

board of aldermen, Gen. Perry, Park Com

lamation was issued by the president:
The president of the United States has just
received the sad tidings of the death OF that
illustrious citizen and ex-president OF the United
States, Gen. ULYSSES S. Grant, at Mount Nc
Gregor, in the state of New York. to which place
he had been removed in the endeavor to prolong
his life. In making this announcement to the
people of the United States. the president is i'm
pressed with the magnitude of the public loss Of
a great military leader who was in the -hour OF
victory maenanimous: amid disaster serene and
self-sustained who in every station, whether as
soldier or as a chief magistrate, twice called to
power by his fellow couutrymen. tread unswerv-
fngly the pathway OF dnty undeterred by doubts,
si~uglc-minded and straightforward. The entire
country has witnessed with deep emotion his
prolonged and patient struggle with painful
disease, and has watched by his conch of suffer-
ings with fearful sympathy. The destined end
has come at last and his spirit has returned to
the Creator who sent it forth. The great part of
The nation that followed him when living, with
love and pride, BOWS now in sorrow above him
dead, tenderly mindful of his virtues. his great
patriotic services, and OF the loss occasioned by
his death. In testimony of respect to the
memory of Gen. Grant, 1t is ordered that the
executive mansion and the several departments
at Washington be draped in mourning TOR n
period Of thirty days. and that all public bust
ness shall, on the day of the funeral, be sus-
pended, and the secretaries Of war and the navy
will cause orders to be issued for appropriate
military and naval hocors to he rendered on
that day. In witness whereof / have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed, Done in the city OF Wash

and there met the colonel with the formal
preference Of q request that an autopsy
might be held. They stated that their pur-
pose was not in he least to confirm their
opinion of the disease, for they had at all
times been united in demonstrating the
case as one of cancer, but the time had come
when the medical staff might step aside from
the patient invite any other medical
or surgical autopsist to conduct the .exnmi-
nation, which should speak for itself. This
both Doctors Douglas and Shrady urged as
far ms professional and personal dignity
could permit; but Col. Grant replied that
the entire family were so thoroughly united
in their confidence in the diagnosis and treat
ment Of the physicians that they bould not
conceive a necessity for an autopsy.
COINCIDENCE AND sYMPATHY
have been pouring in without intermission
on the wire. They come from everybody
and from everywhere, from Gladstone down
to the notoriety seeking countryman. Every
style is represented, and organizations OF all
kinds. Among the signatures are many
names that once were famous, as well as
those which are now. All breathe
sympathy, and testify to the universal
appreciation of the national loss. Many are
addressed to Col. Fred Grant, but more than
three-fourths to Mrs Grant personally. A
guard from Wheeler Post No. 90, G.. A. R.,
of Saratoga, has mounted guard at the cot
tage tonight. Tomorrow the family will be
overwhelmed with official Populations and
personal visitors, and the arrangements may
be concluded as to the funeral here and the
burial place.

A POLITICAL TRIBUTE TO GRANT,

CHICAGO. July 23.-Francis F. Browne.
editor OF the Dial, has written the following
admirable poem on the death OF Grant:
vANQUIsHED.
Not by the ball or Brand,
Sped by a mortal hand:
Not by the lightning stroke
When fiery tempest broke;
Not mid the ranks of war
Fell the great conQueror!
Unmoved, ~undismayed.
In the crash and carnage Of the canonade
Eye that dimmea! not
Hand that failed not.
Brain that swervad not.
Heart that quailed not, ~
Steel nerve, iron form
The dauntless spirit that overruled the storm.
While the hero peacefully sleepeth
A foeman to his chamber crept;
Lightly to the slumherer came
Touched his brow and breathed his mama.
Ger the stricken brow there passed
Suddenly an icy blast,
The hero worker, rose undlsmayed
Salutcd death-and sleatled his blade.
The conqueror of q hundred fields
To a migntier conqneror yields
No mortal foeman's blow
Laid the great soldier low
Victor in his latest breath
FanquisheG but by death.
