Gen Grants last signature was made
upon the back of check for 81 900 sent
him only few days ago by the Century
Publishing Company. This check was a
great surprise to him, as it was above
anything he had expected. He had re-
ceived from them all the money that
had been promised for the articles
that he had furnished This check was
given by the Century people over and
above the contract price OIL account Of
the great value of what he had furnished
them. This unexpected premium gave
the General great pleasure. He signed
a receipt for the check, but did not ell
dorse the check. This he put in his
pocket and carried for the day. Towards
evening he called for a pen. He en-
dorsed the check slowly, but at the same
time writing his signature clearly and
without trembling.
