OF the SOldier.President's Career.
His Useful and HOnOred Lite.
MT McGREeoR. N Y. July % With
the death OF General Grant there passes
away one Of the greatest chieftans of
modern times. Military critics may diff.
fer as to bis character and rank az .
military commander. but in the face OF
his achievements any attempt to helttie
bis military compacity is idle. Judged
by this standard, he held place in the
affections Of the people OF the country
which was equalled by no one except
Lincoln. and his record as leader of the
Union army, which crushed the rebel
lion, will leave him an undyIng name in
the proudest chapter Of our history.
Ulysses S Grant was born at Point
Pleasant, Clermont county, Ohio, April
q. 1922. He entered West Point July
l, 1889, being then II years of age
Among his classmates we're Franklin.
Ingalls,, Sherman and W F. Smith
Thomas and Mead were in West Point
at the same time that Grant was there,
hut they we're in classes ahead Of hia.
G ant graduated July l, lS43 and was
sppoin' ! q brevet second lieutenant with
orders to report 10 the Fourth infantry
In the Mexican War.
In the summer of io45 the regiment
was ordered TO jniu Gen. Taylor's forces
At Corpus Christi, which were protecting
the frontier from the Mexican Armv.
He took part in every hattie OF the Mex
lean war with the exception of Buena
VISTA, and was conspicuous for hfaverv.
Grant in 1913 married Miss Julia Dent.
the daughter OF Frederick Dent, a well
known merchant OF St. L ni,. He re.
signed from the army on the 3lst OF
July, 1854. with the rank OF Captain,

Answered the First Call.
When Lincoln's tirst call for $4,000
men was made, Grant was living at Ga

company was enrolled in that town and
Grant was put in command. Four days
later be reported with his company to
the Governor at Springfield. When the
Twenty-first Illinois regiment arrived al
Springfield the Governor put Grant in
its.cammand, and in August. 1861, Pres.
dent Lincoln appointed him Brigadiel

Recent Well Known Events.
After retiring from the Presidency

occupying nearly three years. His tou
was one OF the most remarkable chap

the close OF his journey there was NJ
