GRANT IN MEXICO.
a BOsiOnian's "Reminiscences Of the
Old Commander.

Mr.. Thomas j. Gargan OF Boston
who was in the City of Mexico with
General Grant some years after the
war relates the following:
One day General Slocum of Brook
Ign, N. Y, who was then member of
Congress and who had commanded the
Second Army Corps, sat In the Patio
with General Grant. Three or four of
us were there together smoking, when
General Slocum opened the converse
ton about the Mexican war and dis
cussed the capture Of Chapultepec, its
natural strength and the marvel that
General Scott captured it with his
handful OF men. Either Grant or
Slocum remarked, ] don't remember
which, that $500 Confederate troops
such as the Army OF the Potomac en-.
countered would have held the place
against $4,000 OF our troops. They
talked Of General Qutman and his en-
try into the city, and cOnversel for
some time about old army friends and
acquaintance. SOcum left us shortly
after. Grant remained quite silent for
few minutes, and at length said,
"Gargan, let's take short walk"
We went as far as the cemetery where
the American soldiers who lost their
lives in Mexico are buried, or, as the
inscription over the gate informs you,
Buried under an act OF Congress.
We walked through the cemetery. Gen
eral Grant seemed much affected.
''Theys were brave fellows" said he,
shut we must all come to this at last.
But it seems so lonely not to be at home
in your own country and among your
own Kindred"
On the 2lst OF May, 1881, Mr., Morgan,
the Mexican Minister, gave a reception
at his house In honor OF General Grant.
After two hours Of patient attention to
the guests by General Grant, having
paid his respects to all, he said:
"Gargan, tell your wife where you may
be found, and we will go into the next
room and have social game of cards"
The party consisted of General Grant,
Governor Pacheco, General Frisbie and
myself. We played whist, game
which General Grant played very well,
having Governor Pacheco for his part
ner. General Frlsble and myself were
beaten. His wife called after him at IL
O'Clock, and General Grant, who was
always very attentive to his wife, said:
Gentlemen, the ladies demand our at
tentlon. We will adjourn to meet
again.

Grant Al Vicksburg.

Later on in The siege, when the OPP
posing lines were in close and deadly
range, pickets were doubled at night to
prevent surprises. This was dangerous
business and WEAKNESS, for the guard
must be watchful and wakcful through
out the night, and there was no relief
until dawn. The danger made each
side courteous and respectful, and oc-
cassionally talkative IL the officers were
net too near, for the "Reb" and the
"Yank" sat facing each other only
few feet apart Twice while the writer
was on this particular duty an order
was whispered down the line, Don't
challenge" and then it was known
that the sold man" himself was making
personal inspection Of the grounds.
One night In particular he sauntered
along within two feet OF the writer, the
inevitable cigar In his mouth, and after
he had gone little distance an idea
struck the Johnny Reb' and he ques-
toned.
"Say, Yank, what you doing with two
officers Of the bay?"
'There isn't two" was the answer.
But I've seen 'em."
THE last one you saw was the 'olu
man."
"Whal? Grant,"

Then came low whistle from the sur
prised "reb" and after apparently cog
itating over the matter for few seconds,
he added: mo wonder you uns always

out among the boys that way" BY
Pemberton he meant his commanding
officer.

GRANTS sEARLYssPROMIsE.
General ScammOn Thought Him
the Brightest Man I'm his Glass.

A story OF some interest Is being told
by a prominent gentleman which goes
to show that the credit OF having first
discovered General Grants genius Is
claimed by Professor Davis II West
Point. At the time General Grant
graduated from West Point Professor
Davis and General Scammon, who had
graduated at West Point, were profess.
ors there. The night after the class to
which Grant belonged had graduated
Scammon and Davis sat play Ing agame
of whist. Davis asked Scamnon whom
he considered the brightest man OF the
class. ScammOn answered that he
thought the brightest must be the one
who came off with the highest honors.
"YOu are wrong" said Professor
Davis. 81 tell you the smartest man In
the class Is Little Grant" Davis said
that the reason Grants average was so
low was that he was nntidy, and that
he received black marks for his untidi-
ness, which brought down his average.
Scammon forgot all about this. He
went into the war, got to be Brigadier-
General. was captured aud held in the
rebel lines. When he was finally ex-
changed Grant was Commander in
Chief Of the Union forces, and his
praises were being sung throughout the
whole North. On General Scammon's
arrival in New York he stopped ut the
Aston House, bought new clothes and
started out for walk. AS he wan
dcred along Broadway, half in dream
and half awake, he felt hand touch
his shoulder, and, looking around, was
confronted by Professor Davis.
"Whom did | say was the smartest
boy in the CLASP" he asked off hand.
'By Jove! it was Grant," said Scam
mon as he suddedly recalled the long
forgotten conversation. Hes a. hero,

GRANT AS A STATESMAN.
His Views as to the Electoral Com
mission and the Constitution,

An Interview with General Grant
was had by the New York Mail and
EGpress something over year ago, in
which, being asked whether he could
point out any existing defects in the
Constitution and suggest remedies, the
General replied:
Eyes; there are several amendments
that could be OF advantage to the coun-
try II they would be adopted, although
| don't believe in tinkcring with that
instrument, and am opposed to in

The Magnanimous Report That He
Made 90 President Johnson.

Speaking OF Grants visit to the South
after the war the Atlanta Constitution
says:
This was the first and last time that
the hero of Appomattox ever looked
upon Atlanta. Throughout that dreary
December day General Grant quietly
devoted himself to the object Of his
mission. He was making tour OF the
South, at the request OF President
Johnson, and his brief sOiourn In At
lanta was for the purpose OF ascertain
ing the sentiment and temper OF tho
people and their leaders. Federal Of
licers, x-Confederates, Union sympa-
thizers and the unreconstructed talked
to the statuesquc soldier. To one and
all the General listened with grave
attention. Indignant loyalists told him
that the rebels hated the old flag and
threatened violence to the Unionists.
"It Is natural" was the only com
,nent that could be drawn from the
General.
Some wild schemcrs suggested con
lscation, disiranchisement and military
rule.
"We don't do that way in America"
was the calm reply.
An old man referred ieelingly to the
bad blood engendered by the war.
"It cannot last" said the General.

with his inevitable cigar, was on hi.

President. Over his own signature he

Grant and the Pale uorsemau

The following Is an extract from a
sermon delivered on the 2Gth ultimo by
Rev. George NJ. Sanborne OF Little
Rock, Ark:
victorious on many fields, the great
soldier surrenders to death at last. In
the early July morning pale horseman
dismOunted In front OF the cottage at
Mount McGregor and went in at the
window. AS the nurse saw him ap-
proach the Generals bedside he said:
GO out 60 out (! This Is my charge =
But he would not go. Tho nurse sent
for the physicians in haste, and they
came and said: Go out go out THIS
Is our patient = But the pale horseman
moved not. Then Mrs. Grant said to
him: 'Oh, go out go out This is my
husband ! Colonel Grant and Mrs.
Sartoris said; Go out go out This
is our father = But the grim horseman
put his hands upon the Generals wrists,
and his pulses ceased. Next the cold
hand was laid over the heart and it be-
came silent forever. And, finally, the
hand crept up to the eyes and the por-
tails closed upon this world, and all was
silent. Grant had gone, and then the
pale horseman was ready to go. His
work was DONE"
