Their Social Liie-Mrs. Grants Domestic
Characteristic Generals Intimates.
New York Special.
General Grant and his family, during their
residence in New York, have not been prominent
in the social life Of the city. Mrs. Grant is q
very domestic woman, and the General, most
conversive of men when in the company Of peo-
pie whom he knew intimately, was always dis
trait and i'll at ease in general society, while
Mrs. Sartoris, a universal favorite in the days of
her young ladyhood, has been out of the coun-
try most Of the time since her marriage. Gen.
Grant, however, possessed decided social gifts.
and impressed persons like Mr.. Fish with a real
admiration for his conversational powers. His
life had been varied; his experience large. He had
a good memory, and was master of a simple
and very lucid diction. Mrs. Grant, though not
a society woman, was always. when in the White
House, kind and attentive to her guests, but
since her residence in New York she has yielded
to her foudness for quiet, and has not enter
tanned much, nor gone to many entertainments.
Of General Grants personal intinates, the
nearest were his old army comrades, not so
much the officers of the civil war as those whose
careers from West Point had run parallel with
his. With such men, of whom Gen. Rufus In
gals is a representative, Sam Grant, as they
called him, was very popular, and he returned
their fondneSS with unlimited confidence ana
affection. Next to these old soldiers, in the
Generals estimation, came some Of his later
aequaintances such as Hamilton Fish, of whom
ana whose character he always spoke in
terms of great admiration; &. w.
Chiids and Mr.. Drexel, through his
intercourse with them, always lacked the ele-
nent of comradeship, which was noticeable in
the case of the men of the old army. In fact
to see Grant at his social best it was necessary
to find him in a tobacco parliament with Sher
man and Ingalls,. Prof. KenricK, and perhaps
Sheridan, with the last mentioned of whom his
relations were especially close as a representative
of the younger generation. Undersuch circum-
stances, the conversation abOunded in anecdotes
and "reminiscences principally relating to West
Point, the plains in old times, and the Mexican
war, as the civil war was too recent, and there
were too many differences of opinion and I'M
healed sores to make it an easy subject.
At Long Branch, General Grant was particu-
larly happy and accessible. He liked the place
and the air, and the pleasant afternoon talks on
his veranda, when the sea breeze was blowing
softly and the sun had dropped low to the west,
are occasions to be remembered by every one
who shared them.

so small a piece, because you do not get to the
structure which lies deeper, and where the
source of the disease is. The superficial area is
frequently infiammatory only, and produces tho
same microscopical appearances on the surface.
In this case, however. the disease being of q
truly superficial character, the deeper structure
was only a secondary consideration. The dis
ease itself was shown by the edge of the sore,
where progress was going on. The microscopic
findings were distinctly those epithelioma. and
nothing else. 1t was not n simple infammatory
trouble. L examined it with a possibility that
the disease might be lupus. or tuberculosis,
expecting to find bacilii. But found none. All
possibilities were considered and weighed thor
oughly. The diagnosis was c~onirmatory of the
physicians suspicious, and the disease has since
been treated according to it.
I'm making the diagnosis many things were
taken into consideration besides the microscopic
tests. namely, the age and physical condition of
the patient The microscopic findings were
characteristic of epithelioma or e%pithelial can
Ger, which is the least malignant OF all forms OF
cancer. One great reason for the popular mis-
apprehension of General Grants case is that
people have not made the distinction between
the benign and the malignant form of can
Ger. The kind of cancer which General
Grant suffered from was a localized
disease; other kinds tend to affect the
internal organs; this didn't. 1t was superficial in
character. When on ones face, a case of this su-
perficial character sometimes remains fifteen
years without producing serious trouble, and
GOES not dHect the system MATERIALLY. IL olbeu
comes to a standstill. In General Grants case,
the trouble being in his throat, became more seri-
Gus. From its constant irritation 1t threw the
muscles into continual spasms, interferred with
eating and produced coughing spells. Besides,
General Grant was broken down physically.
subsequently to the diagnosis, General
Grant became very i'll. Then he rallied. and in
this way the disease has varied ever since.
These changes were perfectly in accordance
with the nature Of the disease His death was
probably caused by exhaustion, more than any
thing else. OF course his blood was v%itiated,
low and impoverished, but his vitality was given
ont. He has had exceptionally careful and con
servatlve treatment, and this has had much to
do with keeping him alive. The recent heat I'M
doubtedly depressed him"

How the General Found His Family in Bur-
lington, n. j.
Philadelphia Press.
In the fall of 1864, when General Grants fam
lily, consisting of his wife, Nellie, u. S. and
Jesse Grant, removed to Burlington, n. j., the
elder son, Fred, was absent at college. During
The winter the General made a flying visit from
The army, lying along tho Potomac, to his new,
and then, to him, unknown home. Arriving at
Burlington ON a train late for that early-to-bed-
going city, he found the station deserted and
himself ignorant of the location of his family.
He walked out to High street. and there accosted
a citizen, yet living, to whom he addressed these
words:
"My name is Grant, and l have a wife and
family living here somewhere. Can you direct
me to the places"
The man cheerf ully consented and then and
now feels it a great honor to have been of this
service. Arriving at the house on Union street
General Grant knocked at the door. The fam
lily in ignorance Of his intended visit, had re-
tired for the night and the lights were all ex-
~tinguished. Mrs. Grant raised the bedroom
window in answer to the alarm, and before she
could make any inquiry about this midnight dis
turbance her husband cautiously exclaimed:
docs General Grant live here?"
Mrs. Grant, Mt once recognizing his voice, re-
piled: lis that you, Iysses2' and it was not long
before he was welcomed into his new Burling-
ton home. After that he was a frequent visitor
to Burlington, and was there on the night Of
April IA, 1865, when President Lincoln was shot
in Ford's Theater, in Washington, and, in re
Spouse to a telegram announcing that fact, left
at midnight on a special train, arriving III Wash
ington i'll the early morning of April Is.

The New Scheme of the c., b.. & o. Railroad

Boston, July 25-The long-deferred scheme
ment to take a more active part in competing for
Northwestern traffic was developed yesterday
by the action of the directors in deciding to offer
shareholders 81, 900, 900 of the $40. GOO, 900 of
bonds and the stock of a new road to St. Paul,
on the east bank of the Mississippi river, to be
called the Chicago, Burlington & Northern.
The question was whether to give the contract
for building the road to a syndicate, or to have
the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy build it by a
subscription from the shareholders. The COM
pany will retain s., 600, 600 of the securities. The
bonds will be 5 per cent, issued, it is said, at 90,
with six shares of stock, at 80. with each bond.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy guarantees

A Comrade in the Grand Army.

Philadelphia Record.
Prior to the hero's departure from this city
for his trip around the world there was a fierce
rivalry between the members of Posts l and
2 for the honor of enrolling General Grant in
their respective Posts. Grant had never been
initiated into the Order, and it was determined
10y these posts that he should become a
Grand Army man before he sailed for Europe.
Post No 2 had been trying for several Gays to
get hold of Grant, but failed. The members did
everything possible they thought; but Post No. l
concluded that it would capture the General, bag
and baggage. and not let go of him until he had
become a full fedged member. One day while
Grant was engaged with Dir. George w.
Childs, in the ~latter's private Office in the
Ledger building, Post No. l assembled and
proceeded at once to Mr.. Childs's office. This
the members surrounded, and a delegation was
dispatched to acquaint the General of the pur-
pose of the Posts visit. He smiled and said he
was willing to become one OF it's members. He
was then and there enrolled, and the Post com
mander, taking off his badge, stepped up to the
General and attached it to the lapel of the latter's
coat. General Grant thanked them for the
honor conferred upon him, and the Post with
drew, well satisfied with its mornings work.

Grants Log Cabin in the Park.

Philadelphia Record.
General Grant presented to George A. Stuart,
at the close of the war. the log cabin in which
the General spent four months Immediately pre-
ceding the fall of Richmond. The building was
brought here at an expense Of some $500, and
now stands in the Park the same as it
stood near Petersburg. Mr.. Stuart is still the
owner of the cabin. With the exception of
some three shingles, no piece of the structure
was lost. not even one of the bricks of the
chimney. 1t was IN this log cabin that Lincoln
spent some of the last days of his life, and where
were held some of the most momentous councils
of the war by the greatest men of the Nation. 1t
was here that Lincoln received Alexander H..
Stephens, the Vice president of the Confederacy,
when on his great mission from the South rela-
tive to a proposition for a settlement.
