GRANT AND MOSRY.
An Interesting "Reminiscences OF the End of
the Rebellion.


An Interesting Reminiscence OF the End of
the Rebellion.
Communication in National Republican.
The severe af1iction with which the illustrious
soldier is now suffering, and the anxiety of all
nations watching the approaching end, and the
numerous testimonials of his noble traits of
character recall to my mind an incident which
took place on the morning Of the Goth of
April, 1865, the date of the removal of the re-
mains of President Lincoln from the East Room
of the executive mansion to the rotunda of the
Capitol. The writer hereof was appointed by
Secretary of War Stanton as assistant to Frank
Sands, the undertaken in charge of the funeral
ceremonies. | was assigned to the duty of ad-
justing the white silk sashes to the honorary
pail bearers, General Grant being of them.
While awaiting an opportunity to get
the Generals attention, he being en-
gagged in conversation with GIeen
Clay Smith, of Kentucky, and two or three
other gentlemen in relation to the surrender OF
General Lee, and the extending of parole to the
subordinate officers and men, one of the gentle
men asked General Grant if Mosby had sur
rendered His reply was: mo, not yet;" where
why, General, you certainly do not intend to
parole Mosby." ''Why notg" said General Grant.
Because he is an outlaw" said the gentleman
In his reply. General Grant then spoke out IN
an emphatic manner, and said that he could not
see how Mosby was any more outlaw than
any of the others who were engaged in the re-
bellion, and that as an officer, he was assigned
to specific duty, and performed it satisfactorily
to his commanding general, and that he would
not only accept his surrender and parole him,
but that he had sent special messenger to
notify Mosby of his intentions. I am not cog
infant of the facts but no doubt this special
act of General Grant led to the high esteem
thereafter reposed in Col. John Singleton Mosby.

GRANT AT APPOMATTOX.
Recollections of Colonel Marshall, Chief Of
General Lees Staff

General Lees staff.
BALTIMORE, April Col. Charles Marshall,
chief of General Lees staff, speaking of the sur
render at Appomattox and of the meeting of
General Grant and Lee, said
when shown into the room, General Grant
advanced and shook hands with General Lee.
The federal commander was in undress uniform
and without sidearms while General Lee was
IN ulI,uniform. General Grant, by way of apology
to General Lee for coming without his sidearms
said that his sword was with his baggage and.
because of his desire to reach the place for the
conference. he had hastened on in undress uni
form This was the only allusion to a sword
that was made at the interview.
AFTER the terms of surrender were sealed
General Grant explained that he was advised
that General Lees forces had number of fed
eral prisoners. who like their captors were out
of rations. General Sheridan replied that he
could supply $4,000 rations, and General Grant
then instructed him to sond $4,000 rations to
General Lees commissary."
After the interview General Lee asked for
General Williams; and thanked that officer for
kindness shown to his son, Gen. Gusts Lee who
had been captured several days before. When
General Lee and Colonel Marshall rode off, the
federal officers filled the porch Colonel Mar

Wages of Mill-Workers.

PITTsBuRG, Pa, April THE rate of wages
to be fixed for next year is now the subject of
gossip among mill workers Some of the men
express the opinion that when the crisis comes,
sooner than run the risk of fight, the finishers
will agree to the manufacturers terms, in which
case a number of mills in this city can continue
work without the puddlers and use steel. The
same authority states that the puddlers, seeing
the inroads steel is making in their trade. are
desirous of getting start in other mill labor.
OF the %, 900 men employed in this district, 1t
is estimated that at least 6000 are eligible to
membership in the Amalgamated Association,
but the union has not more than 500 members

The Case of Postmaster Palmer.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April THE Standard to-
morrow morning will publish letter addressed
by Postmaster Palmer, of Rome, to President
Cleveland, in which Mr.. Palmer claims that his
removal was based on a report the charges in
which he never had opportunity to deny; that a
chance of defending himself had been promised
him, and that the Senate having before it the
papers submitted to the President did not con-
clude that the interest of the government or the
vindication of the law required removal The
letter thus concludes
'Iwould furtherrespectfully represent that, the
President having nominated to the Senate an
appointee for postmaster IN my place, and that
appointment not having been withdrawn before
the adjournment of the Senate, the appointment
is now pending before the Senate, and is subject
to its action; and, while so pending no power
rests with the President to suspend me, and l.
therefore, respectfully. protest against the pre-
sumption of the same.n

Democratic Victory in st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, April THE returns of the city
election held here to-day are not all in yet, but
at midnight enough is known to show that the
Democrats have elected almost their entire
ticket; 219 Of the 244 precincts in the city give
David r. Francis, Democrat, for mayor, 1000
majority over VIM. L. Ewing, present incumbent
and Republican candidate. The same precincts
give Gen. A. j. Smith, Republican, for auditor,
Alb majority, and Henry Flad. Republican, for
president of the Board of Public improvements,
5l2 majority It is possible that one or two
other Republican candidates elected, but it
scarcely seems probable at this writing. The
majority for Francis will be from 200 to 1,500
and the vote for Filley, the leader of the dis
turbing faction in the Republican party, promises
to be about the same, thus showing that had
there been unity in the ranks the Republicans
would undoubtedly have elected their ticket.
LATER.-All but unofficial. returns give
Francis, Democrat, for mayor, 20, 889
votes; Ewing, Republican. 1907; ma
jority for Francis, 1902 All the re-
mainder of the Democratic candidates are
elected, except Jos. Brown. for president of the
Board of Public Improvements, who is beaten by
Henry Flad, Republican, by 2, ,232 majority. The
Democrats also elect the six members of the
City Council who are voted for on the general
ticket. The Filley faction vote will average
about 800.

He Never Complains.

Interview with Hamilton Fish.
"How does the General appear to youW
Greatly changed. The General is sadly
emaciated He reclines almost without change
in a broad armchair resting his feet upon a
small chair near. He is wrapped up warm in
blankets, and every care is taken to avoid a
sudden chill. His face is deeply wrinkled-lines
either of constant anxiety or of pain. The lower
part is swollen by the disease, and in conse-
quenee the waste of flesh is not noted so much
at full front view as when one sees him walk
ing from room to room in his restless way"
"Does he complain of any pains"
mo. The General never complains. He
bears excruciating pains without murmer I
do not believe that his sufferings are incessant
They must be spasmodic; but in watching the
General one can only nouice quiver of the
muscles when one of these darts of pain occurs. "

denly had slight hemorhage from the throat.
DR.. Douglas took such measures as were neces-
sary, and sent for Drs. Sands and Shrady. Gen.
Grant said: There is no use sending for the
other doctors; you are enough" General Grant
spat about two ounces of blood and then wiped
the traces from his face with his hand He ap-
peared calm and collected
Senator Chaffee left the house at 615. He
said: ''The General had aninjecton of morphine
at A. NJ, and / think he will live through the
day. He lost a teacupful Of blood. He was so
much collected that he directed those attending
him to hold the vessel so that no blood would
reach the floor"
DR.. Shrady, at z A. NJ, said that General Grant
was asleep, and that he was doing as we'll as
could be expected under the circumstances He
also stated that DR.. Douglas was taking much
needed rest.
The hemorrhage in the Generals throat was
the accident that had been feared, by those near
est to the patient The immediate result was
not strangulation, as had been anticipated by
those in attendance and by the General himself
Just how serious the result would be the
general condition of the patient could not be
foretold early in the morning, but at $50 there
was no perceptible increase of debility or
weakness caused by loss of blood. 1t is,
of course possible that crisis may occur to-day,
but the probability of such turn during day
light is scarcely entertained among those best
posted as to the Generals condition. Senator
Chaffee's opinion, this morning, is that General
Grant will not die during the day, and such is
the opinion of well-posted persons who have no
incentive or bent to be alarmists, though all
hold themselves iG readiness for any new devel-
opments The hemorrhage was arterial blood
The General seems not at all alarmed and the
family was not very greatly frightened. The
hemorrhage was due somewhat to the increase
of the disease, and was induced by momentary
fit of coughing. The probabilities are that he
will survive to-day.

spoken of the friendly feeling of the people at
large, and the great number of friends the
General had.

too," said the General

piled General Grant.

In a Mexican Restaurant.

From the Military Plaza in San An
tonic half dozen narrow streets
branch off. Down the narrowest of
these, which seems but passage-way
between the rows of somber houses that
line either side-for this is "greaser
towns q restaurant. The presiding
genius of the place is fat and hand
some Mexican, whose unctuous COM
plexion glistens in the glow of the
charcoal fire that blazes softly in cav
ernous, horizontal slit in the gigantic
chimney. It is like no other cooking
arrangement that ever was seen, and
the method of the chef "is beyond COM
pare" Dozens of shiny saucepans and
skillets, set upon the Goals, crowd the
opening very much like invalided teeth
in some great ogre's mouth, and in
each of the little skillets and saucepans
is the portion for one person.
The treasures of earth could not in
duce that oily cook to consolidate his
dishes, and more especially to fry more
than one egg at time in his egg-pan;
his laws are fixed and unalterable, and
he regards the protests of his guests
against cold eggs served in CONCEALED
oil with Mexican indifference.
Thirteen plates for the thirteen wait
ing customers stand ready to his hand,
and the long-handled frying-pan makes
thirteen separate journeys with thir-
teen separate eggs, the while that two
assistants, degree dirtier, oilier, and
less fat, chop onions and CRATE cheese,
which are spread finally over the
chilled eggs and cold oil and placed be-
fore the hungry people, whom days
anticipatory fast has prepared to accept
anything with gratitude. In lieu of
fork very fat pancake, called "tor-
tilla," is doled out to each one. Years
of practice are required for the sue
sessful manipulation of this most use
full article, which, when you have done

successfully chased the particles of

plate, you are expected to eat as final

The kentuckian.

Your average Kentuckian, whether
in agriculture or trade, or local politics
or the professions, pushes himself well
and vigorously forward in life until he
gets himself into ON honorable and
comfortable place, and there he pauses
and rests. He is not fretfully ambi-
tious. He is but half-awakened, really,
to the agony of life-the irreparable
y-burly-of his modern cosmopoli-
tan brother. Now and then some rest
less, energetic spirit, feeling the ne
cessity laid upon it, leaves the State
and presses toward the front on other
battleields. If you travel throughout
the bluegrass region and observe the
aspect of the towns, you will every
where see evidence of this but partial
awakening from the somnolent old life
into the tense new life. New houses
are going up in the place of old ones
torn down, but old ones, dilapidated
ones, are also falling into unarrested
decay. People are busy about their
work, but people are also sauntering
idly along the streets, or lounging in
groups of local gossips in front of the
hotels. All the towns lie in one of the
finest agricultural districts of the world,
and life in them naturally enough can
not go on much faster than the seasons.
