From the Cradle to the Breaking Out of
the Rebellion.
Ulysses Simpson Grant was born at Point
Pleasant, Ohio, April ~, 1922. His ancestors
were Scotch In 1928 his parents removed TO
the village CT Georgetown, Ohio, where his
boyhood was passed. He entered West Point
Military Academy in 1859, appointed by the Hon.
Thomas l.. Hamer, member OF Congress. His
name originally was Hiram Ulysses; but the
appointment was blunderingly made out for
Ulysses B., and so il had to remain. The study
In which he showed most proficiency during his
course at the academy was mathematics. He
graduated in lSi3. ranking twentv-frst In a
class OF thirty nine, and was made brevet
Second Lieutenant of infantry, and attached
as supernumerary Lieutenant to the Fourth
Regiment, which was stationed on the Missouri
frontier. In the summer OF ls45 the regiment
was ordered to Texas, to JOIN the army OF Gen.
Taylor. On Sept 20 Grant was commissioned
as full Lieutenant. He first saw blood shed at
Palo Alto, May y, 1916. and took part also in the
battles of kesaca de la Palma and Monterey, and
the siege OF Vera Cruz In April, lS47 he was made
Quaitermaster OF his regiment, but still par
ticipatCd in all active operations; and after the

he retuI ned with his regiment and was sta
toned first at Detroit, and then at Sackett's
Harbor. In l84S he married Miss Julia 7. Dent,
of St Louis, sister of one of his classmates. In
1852 he accomra anied his regiment to California
and Oregon. and while at Fort Vancouver. Aug.

EARLY DAYS.
Grants Boyhood--The House Where He
Was Born.

The life OF Ulysses s. Grant is n romance as
eventful, wonderful, and interesting as any
thing ever evolved from the brain of n novelist.
He lived In time of extraordinary activity
In the development of this country, and
figured in it's history more conspicuously than
any other man OF his time.
The boyhood OF Grant was not more remark
able than that of any child in the same clrcum-
stances. Indeed, the anecdotes OF his childhood
in no way convey the idea that he manifested
any precocity. He was the eldest OF SIX chill
dren. His early surroundings were severely
plain, his father, who was of Scotch descent,
being dealer in leather, neither rich nor poor,
but ranking among the hard workers OF n young
and growing State The humble homo where
Grant was born IL not unknown TO the public
through the engravers skill
At the age of AZ Grant entered the Military
Academy at West Point. Those who believe that
a name has much to do with the destiny Of its
owner will find confirmation Of their theory I'm
the accident which gave him the name he has
made famous. He had been christened Hiram
Ulysses, but tho Congressman who procured his
appointment by mistake wrote him down as
Ulysses 4. Grant The authorities at West Point
and the Secretary OF War were petitoned by the
young cadet to correct the blunder, but no no.
tice was taken of the request Ulysses 8. Grant
he had been recorded and Ulysses 8. Grant he
remained. the name now 30 worldwide In It's

THE GRANT FUND.
Arrangements for n ReInvestment.

Despite efforts to conceal the fact, it has
leaked out that ARRANGEMENTS were making to
reinvest the $250. 900 trust fund raised for Gen.
Grant, or that portion OF IL which was invested
In the first mortgage bonds of the Wabash Rail-
way. 1t was said that this reinvestment of the
fund would be made Aug. 1, because
the trustees of the Morgan estate de-
sired to be free from the responsibilities
attached to them. When the funds were
invested In the Wabash bonds, Gov. Morgan gave
a personal guarantee for the payment of the
principal and interest. One Of the promoters
OF the fund said: 1T Ia not true that all the
amount raised for Gen. Grant-$25O, ,tC0-is in
vested in Wabash first-mortgage bonds. / do
not care to say what proportion OF this amount
was so invested. IL the trustees OF the Morgan
estate desire TO turn over the amount Of money
for which Gov. Morgan made himself RESPONSE
BILE and accept these bonds, that fact will be
made known In short time

The Fatal Lump at the Roof of tho Mouth.


Gen Grants disease first made itself appar-
ent in June. 1884, while he was at his cottage at
Long Branch. While eating fruit at lunch he
felt lump in the roof OF his mouth. He men
toned the fact to Mr. George w. Childs, whose
cottage adjoins his, the lawns being in common.
DIR. Da Costa, whose brOther-in-law was chief
of Grants medical sta6, was visiting Mr.. Childs,
and at the latter's suggestion he called on the
General. Having examined the throat, he adj
yised Gen. Grant to consult DIR. For
dycc Barker his family physician, at
once. The General made little complaint
about the matter after that until autumn.
One day in September, however, the Gen
eral inquired of Mr. Chllds: What did DIR. Da
Costa say about my throat2" Then, for the
first time, Mr.. Chids, who, like all the other
friends of the General at Long Branch, thought
that the aIlment had disappeared, had his sus-
by MIR. Childs and asked whether the disease
could be incipient cancer. The physician avoid
ed direct answer, but repeated that the Gen.
eral should see his family physician Immediate

October that the old soldier thoughtit necessary

had OF Gen. Grants illness was when Mr..
Childs invited him to Philadelphia to series OF
public receptions some months later. The
General declined on the advice OF his physi-
clans, and wrote in an explanatory letter dated
Feb. 2: Il am feeling quite we'll, except a sore
ness at the root OF the tongue ana the tonsil
over II, which causes me Rreat pin in talking,
and especially when l attempt to swallow wa
ter; have not smoked cigar since the 10th
of November"
On Feb. ~ a telegram from New York. based
on reliable medical authority, created general
alarm among Gen. Grants friends. It said (:
1T is fact that should no longer be concealed
from the country that Gen. Grant is rapidly
breaking down, and apparently without hope OF
reaction, and unless there should be some unex-
pected relief he will not be long among the liv-
ing. He is wonderfully patient and uncom-
planning, and he profoundly appreciates the ex-
pressions OF sympathy which have been called
out by hts recent appalling misfortunes."
The more recent history OF Gen. Grants dis
ease and the sufferings OF the illustrious pa
tient. are too familiar to the newspaper reader
to require rehearsal here.

GRANTS POLITICAL CAREER.
Tho Chief Events of His Two Terms as
President.

At the Republican National Convention held
I'm Chicago May ~, 1868, Gen. Grant on the first
ballot was unanimously nominated for Prest-

Their Democratic competitors were Horatio
Seymour and Francis p. Blair. Grant and Col
fax carried tweuty-six States, and received 2l4
electoral votes, against 80 for Seymour and
Blair. Grant was inaugurated President on
March 4, 1869. and on the next day sent in 10 the

Gen. Grants Early Life In ST. LOuis-His
Marriage to Miss Dent.
The happiest davs and the darkest days In the
long life OF Gen. Grant were spent 10 st. Lonis.
Lieut. Grant and Fred Dent had become
friends in the military school at West Point, and
when young Dent invited his chum to come
with him on visit to his st. Louis home he
did much toward shaping the destiny OF Grant
and possibly of the nation. The two young
men. after Grants visit, went to participate in
the Mexican war, and when young Dent fell
with bullet in his groin while leading his COM
pany to a charge Grant picked him up and car
ried him In his arms to place OF safety. The
affection between the young men increased,
and the affection between the beautiful Miss
Dent and her brothers friend, with whom she
corresponded, more than kept pace with 1t. Af-
ter the war, the wedding The elite OF st. Louis
were there, the officers from the barracks at

About and around the cottage, says a special
from Mount MacGregor, all was still and quiet,
except for the occasional twitter OF some belatsd
bird in the birches or pines. Mrs. Grant, attired
in loose gown of white, came out upon the
veranda and seated herself I'm one of the many
deserted willow chairs that were scattered In
groups about the piazza. Ten minutes
she sat motionless, gazing away to the
east, where the gray tint of another
diy had grown to full promise.
Her face rested against one hand,
and she was evidently wrapped in thought
Suddenly there came the sound of a rafting,
laboring cough from within. IL was the Cen
eral clearing the affected parts OF his throat OF
mucus. Mrs. Grant left the piazza quickly and
seated herself by the Generals side, slowly
tanning the sick mans face. The coughing was
not severe, but only incidental Col. Fred
Grant entered the room while the nurse was
aiding the General, and took q plaNe at
the side and behind his father. The nurse

Gen. Grant retired from the Presidency, upon
the accession of Rutherford b. Hayes, on the
4th OF March, 1877. His career since that date.
which has been in tho main q quiet and une-
ventful one, is too familiar to the
reading world to require any extended notice.
Every one knows OF his trip around the world,
and the enthusiastic receptions that met him in
every city, town, and village through which he
passed upon his return journey across the con-
tinent; OF his candidacy for n third term of the
Presidency, and the heroic devotion with which
his adherents in the Chicago Republican Con-
ven,ion OF 1880 stood by him as long as there
was hope; of his unfortunate connec-
tion with the banker Ward. and how
the honest old hero was used as a
s ool-p pigeon by that willy rascal: and,
finally, of his fall upon an icy pavement, result
ing in q fracture OF one OF his hips, which was
followed soon after by the development of a
cancerous growth near the roots OF the tongue.
For time the public was kept in ignorance
possibly the doctors were In the same blissful
state-regarding the nature of the distinguished
patients malady, and in some features such as
the unreliable or purposely colored reports OF
his condition, the case bears strong resemblance
to that Of the lamented Garfield.
