'Graait's Cigar.

Apropos of General Grants illness,
says a writer in Ehe Nes0 York World,
the late Thurlow Weed once told me a
STORY that itrecalls. / asked the veneca-
lble editor to WHIST he attributed his
finn health aud length of days. II see
that Peter Cooper assigns rigid tenn
perance as the cause of his" he
answered with laugh. "Mine is due.
4 think, to having always sat up all
night and eaten and drank whatever [
pleased. For forty years ! took a
hearty dinner, generally at II or 1
o'clock every night, and | never had
any trouble to sleep. 1 always drank
with the hoys and politicians; drank
everything, bslt not much at time.
and for more than half 8 century 1
smoked ten or twelve cigars every day
when 1 could get them. In the sum-
mer of 1867, being in Saratoga, I
lounged down to the spring one morn
ing with a cigar in my mouth. On the
way | met my old friend, DR.. Freeman,
coming back with some other gentle
men. AS we passed each other he
leaned over to me aad exclaimed, Stop
smoking? The saluta4ion was so sud-
den and such an odd one that it stuck
in my crop. thought about it all day
and wondered what it meant; and after
dinner called mp at his room. He ex-
planned to me that he thought had
smoked long enough; that | was an
old man, and habitual smoking was
sure to hurt me--in fact. he wasn't
sure but it had already hurt me. I
was convinced, and told him | would
never use the weed any more. He said
| had better taper off, but | told him 1
didn't believe in taperings and would
never, smoke again. l never did. But
| thought about it good deal for
awhile. | had written to Gen. Grant
that he must be our candidate for pres
ident the next year. He had shown
my letter TO friends. ana some cor
respondence had resulted. came
back to New York, and found note
from the general asking me to
come and see him at Long Branch. 1
went down with John I. Henry As
we were talking, Gen. Grant took out
his cigar case and offered us cigars,
taking and lighting one himself. I
took one, excused myself from smoking
at the time, and stuck it in the breast
pocket of my coat. Well, l became
better acquainted with that cigar than
l ever did with any other, for carried
it in that breast-pocket for year and
toe k it out every day-probably sever
al times every day-and looked at it
4 smelt it and rolled it in my fingers
~. silly nibbled the end. But never
consumed it," And Mr.. Weed trans
ferred to the chair-back the pet pigeon
he was fondling at the time, rose pain
fully from his seat, went across the
room, and took from a drawer and
handed to me tough-looking cigar
with both ends somewhat masticated.
That's it" he added; Il never smoked
it, and now l don't want it.
