His Resignation and Life in Missouri.
There have been some mysterious allus-
ions, says Ben: Perley Poore, to GEN
Grants leaving the army, but there was
nothing dishonorable about it. He was a
captain in the Fourth Infantry, in which
he had fought In every battle Of the Mex
lean war, on both ScOtt's and Taylor's
lines, with the exception of Buena VISTA
On his return to the States his regiment
was ordered to the North Pacific coast,
where his pay would not allow him to
support his wife and children, and where
there was nothing TO enliven the round of
military duties. He became dissipated,
and the result was that be was told by
his commander that he had better resign
or reform. He accordingly placed his
resignation in the hands OF Col. Buch-
anan, TO be used in case of his mtOKica-
ton. A few weeks later he visited san
Francisco, where some cornwall
friends got him on "tear," and when he
returned TO his post be found, to his
modification, that Col. Buchanan, hear
ing OF his dissipation, had forwarded his
resignation to Washington, with such a
recommendation as would secure It's i'm
mediate acceptance. He was again a
private citizen, and his friends, Alfred
PleasantOn, then lieutenant of Dragons,
and Rufus Ingalls,, then the p0stquarter-
master, advanced him money enough to
pay his passage TO st. Louis by the way
of the lsthmus of Panama. When he
signed his last pay-receipt before leav-
ing his regiment he said to a
friend: "Ten years hence, you will hear
from me as a substantial, Well-tO-dO Mis-
souri, farmer.

There is nothing in the variety business
that has undergone more change than sala-
ries. From shortly after the commence
ment of the war till after the panic of 1873
performers of all classes received salaries
that would be thought fabulous. For
some years past the figures paid have
been steadily dropping. True, there are
some performers OF great reputation even
now who receive from 500 to $3.50 per
week, but such people in the golden days
between the periods | have mentioned
would have received $500, or even $3.50.
Leaders Of the orchestras were then paid
from $50 10 SIS per week. They are for
tunate now If they get $50.
The number and the success of the
people who have graduated within a few
years from variety theatres to the leglti-
mate stage is well worthy OF note. There
il j. X. Emmett, who began his profess
sional career as harmOnicon and drum
sOlOist. Nat Goodwin made a name by
his imitation OF actors aud monologue
character representations in the variety
business before be ever thought of star
ring as comedian. Frank +. Mackay,
the clever character actor, who was stage
manager OF the Chestnut Street Theatre
during the manare ment of the late Will
liam u. Gemmill, filed the same position
years ago at Trem ble's Varieties, In Pitts
burgh. George 5. knight was a variety
star several years before he became
Legitimate one. Billy Barry, now starring
with Hugh Fay in "lrish ATistocracy,"
was Oootblack who lounged about the
corner of Tenth aud Callowhill streets
when Manager William j. Gilmore put
him into the variety business as a negro
comedian and dancer at the old Morti-
mer's Varieties. Henry f. Dixey began
life as a iig and clog dancer, and made
his first appearance at any legitimate
theatre as the hind legs OF the dancing
heifer IN Rice's extravaganza OF Evan
geline." Lillian Russell first attracted
attention as vocalist with Tony Pastors
company, and Jacques Kruger who is
playing Willie EduOiu's part In dreams"
this season, was a member Of the COM
pany OF the Grand Central Theatre.

"rONEY THE DUDES" DILEMMA
Unable TO Obtain More Bouquets on
Credit he COncluds to Leave Washing
From tho Nea1 YORK World.

From tho Ee10 York World.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2--Society circles
are very much amused over a recent Incl
dent here in which Antonio Nogueras,
son of the Portuguese Minister, and MISS
May Beebe, the leading soprano OF the
Summer Opera Company at Albaugh's
opera house, are the principals. Young
Nogueras, who reioices In the nickname
of "TOuey the Dude" has an ambition TO
set the fashions for the boys of Washing
ton, and has often announced himself as
the leader of W ashington society. Dur
ing the engagement Of NJ ISIS BeeDe here,
TOney has occupied a front seat IN the
orchestra every evening aud was not
backward in declaring that he was mash
ing the fair singer. Each night until last
Monday a handsome bouquet OF the
choicest roses, bearing Toney's card, has
been passed over the tOotlights to Miss
Beebe.
At the same time another bouquet from
some other masher would be awarded to
another Of the singers, and 1t was always
noticed that while the floral offerings
were about the same size they differed in
the color of the roses. Finally TOney was
luckey enough TO be introduced to the OBJ
iect OF his affections, and then the floral
tribute began to increase in size to the
envy Of all the other female opera sing
ers. IL has been customary for the Opear
companies OF the Baltimore Academy of
Music and AlbRugh's opera house in this
city to alternate, and thus Miss Beebe was
here every other week. Invariably on the
first night Of each week TOney's bunch OF
flowers would be forthcoming, aud cOnse-
quently last Monday, when his Offering
was absent as well as himself, there was
much comment among the regular pa
irons,
investigation showed that young No
gueras was short of funds, and that the
hard-hearted florist had declined TO let
any more of his work go out unless it was
paid for. Already his bill had mounted
up into the hundreds, and when it was
presented to his father the latter knew
nothing about it and the florist declared
in favor of immediate payment or no more
bouquets. A very Disguised young man
left Washington for a season and new
admirer took his place and sent flowers to
Miss Bebee.

1t will be remem bered by every one IA
miliar with the early history Of the late
Gen. Grant that in his boyhood he was a
teamster and regular driver Of carriages,
wagons, etc. In those days, a gentleman
yesterday said to a reporter, there we're
few young men competent to drive a car
riage for wedding party.
Grant was then living at small town
in Ohio, in which place lived young lady
who was engaged to marry prominent
physician in another Ohio town. The
physician repaired on the nj. BIT Of the
wedding TO the town in which his lady
love resided, and at the hotel told the pro-
priet0r TO order the best carriage and team
the place afforded, and to get competent
driver.
"What is your name?o the proprietor
asked.
IS. W. Penn. 1 am a physician and
am going to marry tonight. Have me
well provided for now and on my re-
turn"
''All right, sir. I'll get you a good car
rage and team, and young Grant shall
drive for YOU"
The carriage called at the hotel for Dr.
Penn an hour later. The horses pranced
and reared on the pavement in impa-
thence, and when the doctor came out
he was anxious about the temper of the
horses.
"Can you manage them?" he said to
young Grant.
''lf / couldn't I wouldn't have started.
Get in, sir. I'll manage he horses"
The doctor got into the carriage and
started. The trip was made in safety,
and young Grant received liberal com
pensation for handling tine ribbons so sue
cessfully.
DR.. 5. w. Penn removed from Ohio to
Lewisburg, Tenn, where he practised
medicine for many years and was also en-
gagged in the drug business He was one
OF the most popular medical men Of the
day, and many OF his pupils still remem-
Der the story he told them OF his wild ride
TOR his bride. w men Grant became the
great General, and later on the great
statesman and President OF the United
States, DR.. Penn was still prOuder Of his
cOachman, who successfully carried him
to the home Of his bride on the night Of
his marriage. DR.. Penn is well known
in Shelbyville, Fayetteville and through
out the surrounding counties, and will
never be forgotten by the citizens Of
Lewisburg and Marshall county. He re-
moved to Texas many years ago and was
live and active practitioner when the
writer last heard of him.
