How the General Dictated a Bulletin.
New York pecial. 5th.
After supping a little late in the afternoon to-
day General Grant seated himself behind the
curtains of his window so that he could look out
doors. A stream of people passing on the oppo-
site side of the street and gazing at his house
moved his curiosity to ask if that had been going
on all day. DR.. Shrady said that it had The
General was silent for few minutes, and then
began to talk about the interest taken his
case and his gratitude for the many expressions
of sympathy that had reached him. It was
subject that had often been touched by him
before, but never so feelingly. DR.. Shrady was
at the time engaged in preparing bulletin.
This is hard work, General, he said. "You
are getting on so we'll that there is really moth
ing to say, unless you suggest something.
Why not send out the substance of what you
have just been sayingw
II have no objection" the General responded.
''Say that am comfortable
1T is surprising General Badeau put in,
how strong and universal is the sympathy for
you, General. Every one is anxious about you.
Did you know. by the way, that Senator Conk-
ling and the Secretary of War were here today"
The General again expressed his qualification.
DR.. Shrady said. in relating the incident:
Then he went on debating the bulletin. I
wrote it in the third person. When l had fin-
ished read it to the General. He said it was
all right Don't you think asked, that a
little message from you in the first person

not he replied Shall l put that DOWN. 1

General Badeau. BY your desireg The General
nodded. l then added it to the bulletin Then

How He Divided His First Months Pay.

How He Divided His First Months Pay.
New York Special
On Wednesday night, when the General was
sinking fast, the check for his first months pay
as General on the retired list was handed to him.
He seemed glad to get it, and called for pen
and indorsed it. Several times through the
night he spoke of it. The next morning, as soon
as he recovered from his bad turn, he spoke
again of the check. At 9 o'clock ex-senator
Chaffee went to the bank and drew the money,
81, 900, and brought it to the General. Rousing
himself, the sick man counted over the money
and laid it beside him in piles of 5000
each. Then he called all the family to
him, and as they stood tearfully beside him he
gave to each Of the children one of the five piles,
and the remaining one to Mrs Grant. Then he
asked for his pocket-book. in which he said he
had little money. He opened it and took out
every cent, counted it carefully, and requested
that it be given to his sister, Mrs. Dent.
When the family had withdrawn he said to
ex-senator Chaffee: That's al I've got to give
them. have two buggies and two sets of har-
ness down at Smiths, but they have no use for
them They are the last of my worldly posses
sions."
By Smith he referred to a livery-stable
keeper at Long Branch.

until they catch the strain from the other shore,
and in the thunders of praise and love rest from

Mr. Beecher was much affected in thus re-
ferring to the dying hours of General Grant. AS
on the previous occasions when he has touched
on this subject, tears filled his eyes, and his
voice fatered, until, unable to control his feel
ings, he brought the discourse to close, paus-
ing moment to regain his self possession before
offering the closing prayer. There were abund-
ant evidences of sympathetic emotion through
out the audience.

Lee.

he war was over. Ten. Lee and
his half. starved Confederates had re-
turned to their desolated homes on
their parole Of honor. The victori- |
GUS Northern and Western armies,
under command Of Grant and Sher-
man, were encamped in and around
Washington City. Jefferson Davis
was an inmate OF casemate in For
tress Monroe, and Edwin NJ. Stanton
was the power behind the thronewho
ran the Government while Secretary
of War.
Gems. Grant and Rawlins were
playing game OF billiards in the Ma
tional Hotel, and two civilians were
INDUCING in that pastime on an OPP
posite table. A Major in the regu-
lar army entered the spacious room in
hurry and whispered to Gen. Grant.
The latter laid his cue on the table,
saying: "Rawlins, don't disturb the
balls until / return" and hurried out.
One of the civilians said to the other:
s'Pay for the game and hurry out.
There is something up
Gen. Grant had reached the street,
where, in front of the hotel, stood
mounted sentinel. Grant ordered the
soldier to dismount, and springing in
to the saddle, put spurs to the horse
and rode up the avenue SO fast as to
attract the attention of pedestrians.
The first civilian questioned the sol
dier as to the cause of such sudden
haste OH the part of Grant, but was
answered with the surprise of one
who knew nothing. The second cit
izen appeared, saying: "What has
become Of Grant?n
On being told Of the Generals

enue it was decided to go to the War
Department and learn the cause, il
possible. Col. Barroll, of the Second
Regular Infantry, and husband of Sue

Barroll answered "Yes," but was sur
prised at anybody's knowledge of tho
event. When told of what had trans
PRED in the billiard-room of the Ma

Eliza Sullivan Found !!
WEARY OF TOWN LIFE SHE TAKES UP A
SOLITARY RESIDENCE IN THE
THE COUTRY.

Two weeks ago we published a notice
of the mysterious disappearance, from
her home in Wellston, of Eliza Sullivan.
She has been gone from here home for
more than month. All the papers in
this region have called for information
concerning the eccentric Eliza, but all to
no purpose. Her fate was mystery.
The last issue of the Wellston argus con-
tained somewhat lengthy article upon
this seemingly impenetrable mystery.
But not until Sunday, we believe, was
any light thrown upon the trail of Eliza.
Over on the J. IT. Wilson farm, is an
old house, two stories and a half high. In
this building Mr.. Wilson's family have
some things slowed away, but they had
not been in the house since about the
middle of May On Sunday some of Mr.
Wilson's folks went over to the old house
to see how things looked, and found the
windows all in good shape, but that one
of the doors seemed to have been opened.
Hearing a noise in one of the upper
rooms, they went to the room-and there
was Eliza, safe enough. We did not
learn how long she had been in the old
house, but she has doubtless been hiding
there most of the time during her
absence from Wellston. Eliza is evident
ly little "out of balance" to take such
freaks. During all the time her friends
were advertising and searching for her.
she was within few miles of home.

The Meeting of the Ohio Institute of
Mining Engineers, held at this place last
week, was a pleasant affair. The pro-
grmme, as published last week was SUBJ
stantially carried out. There were in
attendance, from distance, considerable
number of those interested in Mining
affairs. The sessions of the Institute
were held in the Council Chamber of the
new Town Building, and were highly in
teresting. There was fine array of talent
relating to affairs of especial interest to
this region, and the papers and addresses
were as instructive as entertaining. This
was not Prof. Orton's first visit to Jack
son County, where he is quite popular.
For Emerson and Murray McMillin this
is an old stamping-ground. Others in
attendance visited Jackson for the first
time. Among these was Mr.. E. S. Will
son, of the Ironton Register.
On Thursday morning the Members of
the Institute, with few invited friends,
went upon a small excursion through the
coal region between Jackson and Wells
ton, along the Ohio Southern road. stop
ping at few of the mines. Altogether
it was pleasant meeting, and we trust
the visitors carried away as pleasant i'm
pressions of Jackson County, as they left
behind when they went away.

THE EARLY Coal DAYS!
AFTER THE EVENT, We LOOK BACK AT
The SHADOW!

The expression is often heard "the peo-
pie of Jackson County little knew, twenty
years ago, what vast wealth the County
contained in the way of minerals" But
this is great mistake. The development
of the mineral wealth of Jackson County
has been rapid within the last few years,
but the existence of the minerals-espe-
cially the Goals nothing new to the
people of the County. True, the hills
along the horse-creek valley were not
considered especially valuable, because
the existence of the coal was merely a
supposition on the part of the owners,
and many were afraid to consume the
time necessary to opening up entries TO
test the resources of the hills. But other
hills, all around, were yielding their stores
of coal, and the principal advantages in
the recent development lie in the ship
ping interest. Thirty years ago mines
were in operation in great number of
the hills in the immediate vicinity of
Jackson, but there was not the enterprise,
or the facility, for shipping coal then
which could build up the business. Even
the engines on our one railroad burned
wood instead of the splendid Jackson Hill
Coal. The following appeared in the
of December 18th, 1856:
COAL DEALERS IN JACKSON COUNTY.
We give below the names of our Coal Dealers, and

Some years ago man living near Jack
son had some hay-stacks, and perhaps
other property, burned by an incendiary.
Having an old woman neighbor who bore
a bad reputation, he unwisely accused
her OF the crime, naturally creating a
considerable fuss. No proof could be
brought to convict the old woman. The
man afterwards died, and his children
moved away to the west. Years after
this, one of the sons came back, and in
talking over the old times, stated that he
and his brother fired those haystacks,
accidentally, while smoking cigars. They
were little fellows, and afraid to tell their
father. And this is about the manner in
which great many of the mysterious in
cendiary fires are started
