No other complaints are SO insidious In their
attack asthose affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority Of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold. resulting
perhaps from a trifing or unconscious eA-
posture, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty Years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

Munle the drums, for the hero is dead
Aud our tears tell the sorrowing story.
From pain and from suffering his spirit has fled,
And we bury our Chief In his glory.

Wake the dearly loved form from It's sleeping
Whisper low let the music In reverence fall,
While around him nation is weeping
our tears for the hero, while angels proclaim,
He has passed DER the heavenly portal
Where wreathes of the victor aud laurcls Of fame
Have been changed for the glory immortal.
Rest, soldier, rest, for lis joyful TO know
And has seldom been known by another
Gallant men, who once stood in the ranks Of the
foe,
Love you now as friend and brother
Round his grave we will gather with tributes of
love
Aud the songs Of his countrys devotion,
While the flag Of Columbia floats proudly above,
Reaching out to the isle of the ocean.
And mid glory awaiting the on.coming years,
Loving friends shall plant summers sweet
flowers,
That shall blossom and bloom meath their fast.

Every heart with a voice Of carcssing,
Touch gently the chords Of each memory dear,
For II brings lis boon aud blessing
Fold softly his battlc.nags over his breast
And disturb not his wonderful sleeping

GEN. GRANTS REMA tKABLE MEMORY.

II fell to my lot to srrcnder to General
Grant, at Appomattos, the largest regi-
ment i'll General Les army. At the
time was riding hperb mare, sleek
and fat for the times, springy as n deer,
and her wiry motion Indicating mettle
ana blood. Some time after returning to
the starting point onr mile from the
court house, Cnnd while waiting for our
paroles and eating the best dinner ever
saw, consisting Of good beef and bacon,
fresh bread and gcnuitc coffee. all fur
nishedby General Girantl one of my brave
men said to me: "AfIer we had stacked
our muskets and were passing by General
Grant and staff one Of them asked me
your name" Rather doubling the good
soldier, but feeling refreshed and COM
paratively happy with n stomach once
more wcU .fHed ! simply replied "Well,
sir, feel honorcd that u magnanilnous
enemy has even noticed me, especially if
that enemy were General Grant" For
years ! often thought of the circumstance,
but IT wns not until 1879, when first
came to Washington to have my disabil-
tiles removed that the matter was ex-
planned. | called at the White House
and saw General Grant for the first time
III my life, and as Soon as introduced by
my Congressman, the GencraI at once
said "Oh, yes, remember you well. BY
the by, what became of that pretty little
mare you were riding at Appomattox
Court House" So it was the mare he
had noticed and caused him to ask my
name. JAcE BRowN,

his KINDNESS OF HEART.

As contribution To the fund of Grant
memorial literature, | am proud to fur
nish an incident illustrating his unfnil-
ing kindness of heart and his unchanged
atlability after his elevation
\ young lady of this city, formerly in
alilucnt circumstances, was left pennlcss
by the sudden death of her father, and
sought the usual refuge of poor and cul-
tiyatcd Washington wOmcn--a Govern
mcnt appointment. She was well recon-
mrndcd, strongly backed, and her father
had done the country more than ycoman
service during the cXtrI-pariamcntarv
proceedings in the South. Notwithstand-
ing all, however, the appointment hung
fire for some weeks, and the girl began tu
despair.
She had known President Grant and
his family very well while he was general
of the army. He had been inauglratcd
about two years before, and | had re-
pcatcdly urged her to cease wasting time
and effort ON subordinatcs and 90 tn see
the President, hut she refused, hcing
afraid that the changed circumstances of
| the two families would insure her re-
| buff Finally she consented to 90, and
ON her arrival at the White House Il
special Cabinet meeting was being held.
Here appeared another difficulty, but
something in her manner and appear.
ance made the doorkccpcr ask her for
her card and take it in.
To her utter surprise the President ex-
cu,cd himself to the members of the
Cabinet came ont and took her by both
hands with unaffected hcHrtincsS, and
! led her into Mrs Grants apartments,
| where he left her for Il few minutes, after
/ expressing the utmost sympathy and
! promising Ia return as soon as the Cabi-
net meeting was over. The family WED
each with the other in their attentions
| to her. The President returned very
| shortly, got at the state of affairs with his
usual facility, and after renewing his
offers of sympathy and coincidence prom
iSed to do what he could for her. Grant
always kept his promises, and ON the
eighth day allcrward she was at Il nine
hundrcd-dollar desk in the Treasury. It
proved to he an appointment that did
him credit She married right good
fellow several years ago, but never forgot
Grants kindness, and no osinccrcrmourncr
exists among our titty-fve millions.

now GRANT TOOK yICKSBURG.

General Grants army had marched
from Millikcn's Bend above Nickshurg
to point ON the Mississippi river about
two miles below Grand Gulf and fifteen
miles below Nicksburg. Here the pro-
cess of crossing the troops over the river
to the Mississippi shore began on the
morning of April 80, 1862, yet not Il man
in that vast army knew General Grants
intentions; and when the gunboat Ben
ton came to shore, and the General and
his staff went ON board, followed by two
regiments of infantry, loading the boat
down to her gunwalcs, every soldier
was anxious to know where we were 90.
ing General Grant was standing on the
turrct of the boat, surrounded by his
stail, when General Ilovcy, who COM
mandcd the third division of the Thir-
teenth Army Corps, approached him and
said General, where are we going?'
His quick and candid reply was: "lf |
can cut of all communication from Wash
ington city long enough will take Nicks-
burg" And he did as itaf1erwurd proved,
This resolution broke the backbone of the

HOW HE GOT TO WEST poINT.

sided. We'll, / knew him intimately.

ant T. :. A. We came home together

Grant appointed Y. :. Grant White to
West Point, where his high standing ~
graduate entitled him to place in the
cnginccrcorps, which position hc resigned
to be again appointed by President Grant
Il civil engineer in the navy-a position
which he now holds
"By the way" said my colonel, "did
you ever hear how General Grant got to
West Point"
No, sir" replied
WELL you must know that between
Dr. q. B. Baily, sr, and Mr.. Jesse r.
Grant there existed II spirit of generous
rivalry as to the future of the oldest sons
|
who were about the same age. One day
| it was announced in our town, much to
the chagrn of the elder Grant, that q. H.
Baily, ir., had been nominated to West
Point by the Hon. Thos L. Hamcr. The
elder Grant determined to gd crcn, set
about it nj once, and wrote 10 Senator
Thos. Morris, requesting his kind offices
in behalf of his son. Senator Morris con-
suited Representative Homer, who in
| formed Mr.. Grant that vacancy existed
in his own district, This astonshcd
everybody in the quiet little village of
Georgetown; hut inquiry proved its cor
rcctness. Young Baily had failed to pass
the examination and was quietly placed
in private military school in Kentucky
Here was Grants opportunity, and Hiram
Ulysses was nominated by Gen. Homer
! To West Point as Ulysses Simpson Grant.
Young Bnily finished his military cduca-
tiun in Kentucky, and then chose the
| profession of his father" The writer has
only To- add that Baily became distin-
gliShcd practitioner of medicine, raised Il
company at Portsmouth, Ohio, and com
mandcd il in the first Bull Run and
then went home and was called To the
! lieut. -colonclry Of West Virginia rer-
mcnt, and while enjoying II feast pre-
pared for the soldiers campcd at Guyan-
dottc, W. Va, was surprised by Jenkins
cavalry and the command cut to pieces.
! When tn" smoke of battle had blown
away the body of Colonel Baily was
found in the BIG Sandy River, Just under
the bridge.
With the death of our old coD,na,l,I,i
