GRANT As A sCHOOLBOY.
The RecO1lectiOns Of His Old Teacher
The Great Soldier i'm Miniature.

Mr.. w. w. Richeson, the principal of the sem.
| mary at Maysville, Kentucky, where Gen.
Grant was pupil, gives the following reminis-
| ces OF his school days: III. U. Grant entered
pupil in Maysville seminary during the
winter season of 1886 and 1897. In h is classes
be ustained himself with credit, and in his
conduct and general bearing was the life-like
miniature OF Gen. U. S. Grant, the great soldier
and statesman of the present era He was q
member of the Philomathea society, to which
the juniors Of the institution belonged. The
seniors of the school were mem bers of the
Kappa Gamma Chi society. 1 find in the
records of the Philomathean that, Gin January
1897, Lssant Cox, Ulysses Grant. Absalom in
MARYLAND, William q. Richardson and John l..
Phister We're appointed as the executive COM
term of office as president expiring with the
meeting, he delivered his valedictory, TO which
1 have copied verbatim from the minutes OF
the society, from which you will discover that
young Grant, even then. was considered an ex-
ecutive member. John p. Phister, q president Of
that occasion, is now president of the city coun-
Gil OF Maysville and all of that Philomathian *.
ecutive board are now men of position and Of
high order of intelligence. On another page
of the secretary's book find that Mr.. Grant
submitted the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That it be considered out of order
for any member to speak on the opposite side
to which he belongs
In this record you perceive his consistency,
even at the early age of fifteen. In February
OF the same year, 1887, the records show that
Ulysses Grant and f. NJ. Richeson were APP
pointed to declaim on the ensuing Friday"
At another meeting 1 find that "Mr. Grant sub
mitted the following resolution"
"Resotred, That any member who leaves his
seat during debate shall be fined not less than
Oh, cents"
The importance of order, decision and consis-
tency seems to have impressed him at an early
age. While he attended the Maysville seminary
he boarded with the family of his uncle, Peter
Grant Young Ulysses during his school days,
at the Maysv1lle seminary, ranked high In al
his classes, and his department was exception
ally good. Some years after leaving the school
at Maysvile, on a trip home from West Point,
al m
nary, remarking to him that although the
steamer would remain at the landing but a few
minutes, he could not think ofpassing by Mays
willie without calling to see him. During this
very pleasant interview he was invited into the
female department 10 see the young ladies Of
the school, but he diffidently declined visiting
them on that occasion, showing high degree Of
his natural modesty. The few incidents TO
which have alluded plainly exhibit some OF
the striking characteristics which have been
since developed in this truly great and exalted
citizen ofo ur beloved country"

Got q Cigar from Grant.
THE ADVENTURE OF TWO WASHINGTON UI

General Grant, when President, used TO walk
out every evening for q smoke. Just at dusk he
would come out of the north gate OF the White
House alone, with a cigar In his mouth, his
head bent down just little, and his left hand
behind him holding a cane. That was his IA
vorite attitude, and the striking figure was ia
miliar to everybody. The hackmen IN the
. treets would take on their hats as he went by
and he always returned their salutes. He would
walk down past the Treasury Department. down
18th TO the Avenue; thence past Willard's, past
the National theater and up 18th towards New
York avenue. All the newsboys, bootelacks and
street arabs generally, knew him and would
follow him in his walk, waiting for him TO
throw his cigar stumps away. There was al
ways o scramble after his stumps, either be-
cause they were better than those ordinarily
there was some dignity attached TO smoking
after him. The urchfn who got the stump
would put It between his lips and stand with
his back UP against the door post Of the Ma
tional peanut gallery" with his thumbs In the
armholes OF bis vest, and puff away with q dig
nifty that was the envy Of all his admiring as
sociates. One day the general turned 20 two

cigar very eagerly, and asked them what he
could do for them.

On the 26th Of February, 1854, q bill to revive

passed by Congress, and in accordance with the
Intentions of the originators and supporters OF
the bill the President no minated Gen. Grant,
and he was confirmed by the Senate. This was
shortly after the fall Of Oh attanooga, and Gen.
Grant was at once ordered to report to the de-
partfnent at Washington. When he reached
Washington he attended a reception held on
the evening Of the day Of his arrival at the
White House, and there for the first time he
met President Lincoln. One Of the acts of his
life which has always been referred to as an
evidence OF his broad generous disposition and
freedom nom envy and jealousy was the follow

GRANT AS A WEST POINT CADET.

Henry Coppee ESQ.,, who was with Grant at
West Point for two years, gives the following
account Of him while there:
81 remember him as plain, common sense,
straightforward youth; quiet, rather Of the old
head ungshoulders order; shunning n0to-
fiety; quite contented, while others were grtim-
bling; taking to his military duties In very
husinesslike manner; not q prominent man In
the corps, but respected by all, and very popu-
lar with his friends. Els sobriQuet OF Uncle
sam was given to him there, where every good
fellow has nickname, from these very quail

Tho difference between the French aud
Epglish people could not have been more
cmphatically accented than it has been ia
the last few days. England has recently had
reverses in the soudan-greater reverses
than tho cable attributed TO that Of the
French arms the other day in the Tom
quin. There were grumblIngs in England
and demands for tho recall OF General Gra-
lam and for some one in tho place of Gem
eIsl McNeill when It became known, de-
spite very secretivo Ministry, that Eng
lish troops had been two or three times
toundly whipped by 0sman Digna's
forces. The English grumbled, aud her press
talked as II IL were very mad. But
while there were assaults on tho Gladstone
Ministry there was, at show of hands, not
by any means q sufficient number OF nom =
bers Of Parliament to censure tho
Ministry although It must bo admitted
that the Ministry is a laundering one.
The English are stolid and not au
excitable people. But turn to their neigh
bors across tho Channel. The mercuri ii
Frenchmen who only heard Of tho French
defeat on Sunday, began TO ferment immo-
diatoly. They showed that spirit which has
made such bloody revolutions in Francs
possible. They got wild. The Chamber Of
Deputies resolved itself into pandemo.
mum, and in fow short hours the resig-
nation of tho Ferry Ministry was made in
evitable.
Practically an entire change of govern
ment WAS effected in wild excitement
which is found among mature men only ia
France.
And the French are not yet satisfied.
They cry for aggressive warfare. The ma
tional honor must be avenged. The ntw
Ministry will probably, as it camo in on
the excited cry, be compelled to go into ag-
gressive war with China.
There is an historical spur to the present
French half.madness. 1t is in tho history of
France that when she is deeply in debt she
is comparatively quiet, but let her financial
condition be on good basis and then she is
ready for anything.

rho spoiIsmen Set Back.

Civll-Service reformers say that the ap-
pointment Of Lewis McSIullen to succeed
General ketcham as Appraiser at New York
is triumph for the reformers and setback
for the spoils.seekers. General Ketcham's
removal is said to have been due in groat
measure to the opposition of Independents,
who regarded him as an enemy of Civil
Service reform.
McMullens promotion was almost with
out political significance, and was urged by
the reiormers. McMullen has seen nearly
thirty years of faithful service in the Ap-
praiser's Office and was regarded as tho most
efficient man in the service. Ho has been q
lifelong Democrat, but never an active part
isan.
Under Republican administrations tho
New York Appraisership has been awarded
to those whose political services and in
fluence commanded consideration or to
those who could turn Its resources to tho
best political account. The list of in.
cumbents of the Office shows a succession of
names of prominent politicians. For per-
haps the first time the Office is awarded to
the man whose experience and ability Gu
title him to the position.
