Testing great uneasipess as to the disposition
that has been made of his will 1t has been
stated Ill some quarters that the General died
interstate. That is an error. His most intima te
friends know that he made a will about year
ago, at Long Branch, dispOsing of all his prop
erty. The subscribing witnesses to it were his
near friend, George W. Chids. and the Rev Dr.
pal Church, OF Philadelphia, who at the time
was Mr.. Childss guest
Mr.. Chllds who was seen at his charming villa
at Elberon by a correspondent this morning, said:
Yes; it is q mistake to say that General Grant
left no will. His cottage adjoined mine as is
generally known. and every day while he was
here was at my house or / at his. One day last
August he came over with a paper in his hand
that, he said, was his will, and asked DR.. Morton
and myself to witness it. We affixed our sigma
lures to the document, and the General took it
away. do not know what he did with it. Per
haps some member of the family has it. l am
anxious to sec it produced, so that may prove
my signature. The will was drawn up by Mr..
burlington, a New York lawyer The Generals
regular legal adviser was Clarence Seward Of
course it is impossible to say what disposition
has been made OF the property until the will is
read. l only know-with a smile-"that
legatee cannot be witness to will"
Lawyer burlington, of whom Mr.. Childs
spoke, was a friend of Buck Grant the Gen
erals son. and was associated with the Grant d

spirits" Here he has lived for many years
doubtless thought good deal, and executed
somewhat. Here he has received visits from
many of the great men of the land. A gentle
man. native of Maine. but now a Pennsylvania
politician tells story of one of these visits that
perhaps had some influence in shaping history.
He says he once asked Senator Don Cameron
why it that in the Chicago convention in
1880 the Grant men did not throw their strength
for some acceptable man when they found that
there no hope for their favorte Said the
senator, well. I'll tell you why" He said that
in the early summer of 1880 he and Mrs. Cameron
made a trip to the White Mountains. Return
ing to the hotel from walk one day, the senator
was shown by his wife telegram from Mrs.
Blaine inviting them to visit Augusta. "Ah,
under the circumstances, think that will have
to be postponed was his laughing remark.
But have replied that we will come" said
Mrs. Cameron innocently, to the senator's con-
sternation. There was no help for it; but
Cameron made a VOW to himself that not word
concerning politics should escape his lips during
the visit The visit was pleasant one, Of course,
but during it Mr.. Cameron was taken to drive by
his host The subject of the approaching con-
ventl0n was Oroached, ana Dir. Blaine asked
Cameron who was his second choice The sena-
tor replied that he had none-that he should
stand by Grant to the end. Then Blaine got in
his work. and finally succeeded in obtaining the
promise that if by any chance Grant should be
dropped, the Cameron influence should be for
Blaine. Near the close of the convention the
Grant leaders got together to consult in regard
to supporting another man. Then, to the amaze
ment Of the others, Cameron was obliged to an
nounce that in case of 3. break he must 60 for
Blaine. Then let's stick by Grant to the last, ?"
said Conkling. with all my heart responded
Cameron; and they did. "And that" said the
senator. as he finished the story, lis all woman
knows about politics."
