THE DEAD HERO.
A Brief Sketch Of the Life and Services
OF Gen. Ulysses y. Grant.

Ulysses Simpson Grant, the son of Jesse
/ X. and Hannah Simpson Grant. was born
April q, 1922, at Point Pleasant. Clermont
county, Ohio, the eldest of six children.
Probably originally of Scotch lineage, one
of his more immediate ancestors came from
Devon, England, to Dorchester, Mass, in
1880, The father OF the subject of our
sketch was the seventh in descent from this
ancestor, who is described as "model town
clerk" of Windsor, Conn, whittier he had
removed in 1885.
At the age Of II Ulysses received cadet
ship at West Point, his education previously
having been that of the village school 10 his
native town. This appointment, given under
the name of Ulysses Simpson, seems to
have been the cause Of change in the name
by which he was intended to be called by his
parents for they, seemingly imbued with an
admiration for Trojan history, christened him
Hiram Ulysses.
Our hero graduated in l543 in the class led
by VIM. B. Franklin. afterward Majo Gen
Ieral, rank earned by distinguished service
/ in the civil war. Others Of his classmates
were Christopher C. Augur, Rufus ingalls,
and Frederick 4. Dent, afterward his broth
0er-in-law. All were connected with him dur
ing the rebellion.
After two years of the usual inactivity to
q dw bich new made officers were wont to be con-
signed on the Red river, Lieut. Grant found
more stirring scenes in the Mexican war. In
every battle Of SCOTS, in every battle of
raylor's he made his record, gaining an
insight into the principles Of tactics and STRAIT
egg under that master Of war, Gen. Scott,
graduating from his two years of service a
captain. In August, l848, he married Julia
r. Dent Of ST. Louis. who has proved herself
most kind and affectonate sharer of the dis
appointments Of his earlier life as well as of
the brighter circumstances of later years.
But we must pass over the years spent in
garrison at Detroit and in the wilderness of
Oregon in 1854. We cannot linger over his
life on his farm nor his business entered into
with brother in 1860, The name Of Grant
suggests his connection with the war Of the
Rebellion. That was the time that, while try
ing all mems souls, distinguished him as the
hero we know.
When the guns were fred upon Fl. Sumter,
feeling that he still owed the government for
his education, he buckled On his sword to "see
Uncle Sam through this war too" The COL
onelcy of the 2lst Illinois was offered him and
promptly accepted, aud with this regiment he
performed much local service, which. how
ever, did not attract public notice. In Au-
gust, 1861. he was detached from this COM
mand and, with the rank of brigadier-general,
placed over an important post At Cairo. the

SIT is All Over"

quietly spoke DR.. Douglass. and there came
|then heavily to each witness, a realization
|that Gen. Grant was dead Then the doc
|tors withdrew. and the nurse closed down the
|eyelids and composed the dead Generals
head. after which each of the family group
pressed to the bedside one after another and
|touched their lips upon the quiet face so
ately stilled. DR.. Shrsdy passed out upon
he piazza. and as he did so met Dr. New
man Fastening up the steps. "He is dead,''
remarked DIR. Shrady, quietly. The fact of
having been absent from the side of the dy-
|ipg man and his family at the last was the
cause of severe and sad regret to the clergy
Imam. He had been summoned from break
fast too late, and reached the cottage only in
kline to minister TO the family sorrow.
Soon after Drs. Douglass and Shrady left
the death bed, they convefsed of the las,
hours of the Generals life. His pulse, the
first hour, had indicated failure and the in
Itellect was the last to seccumb its clearness
and conscious tenacitv and that after mid
Inight. Last night DIR. Douglass remarked
that the peculiarly of the Generals death

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Honesty sometimes keeps q man from
becoming rich, and civility from being
witty.
Arnold speaks Of learning genuine
manhood by steadily serving outthe pc
Rod Of boyhood.
The first ingredient in conversation il
truth, the next good sense, the third
good humor, and the fourth wit.
It is wrong use Of my understanding
to make it the rule and measure OF an
other man's: use which it is neither fit
for nor capable Of.
This very sage advice was given by an
aged priest, Always treat an insult like
mud from passing vehicle. Never brush
il off until it is dry. !"
1t may serve as comfort to us in all
our calamities and Affections to reflect
that he that loses anything and gets
wisdom by it is gamer by the loss.
Persons who are always innOcently
cheerful and good. humored are very use
full in the world; they maintain peace
and happiness and spread a thankful
temper among all who live around them.
Do not think of knocking out an
otner persons brains because he honest
~ differs in opinion from you; it would
be as rational to knock yourself on the
head because you differ from yourself
ten years ago.
The sons of rich men and kings learn
nothing so we'll as riding, for their mas
tiers fiatter them. and if they contend,
willingly yield to them; but a horse
never considersjf prince or poor man
be on his back, if you cannot manage
him he will throw his rider.
Such is the general disguise men wear
that their good qualities commonly APP
pear at first, and their bad ones are dis
covered by degrees: and this gradual
discovery of their failings and weak.
nesses necessarily lessen our opinion OF
them; and there is no observation more
generally true than that our esteem of q
person seldom rises ia proportion to our
intimacy with him.
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1885-03-30

The Bedouins, or nomads, OF the Sou
dan are not very numerous race. They
are altogether outnumbered by the peo-
pie of the towns and villages, who,
Mussulmans though they are, unwarlike,
and, like all agricultural and commercial
people. will quietly submit to the gov
erning powers If fairly we'll treated. The
people against whom the English are
now fighting, the soldiers of the re-
doubtable Mahdi, are these same Bcdou-
ms, and their revolt, though connected
with the spread of Islam and famed by
the flames of fanaticism, is also revolt
against the dominance of the settled
peoples of the country over the nomads.
These wanderers of the Nnbian desert
and Kordofan possibly number some half
million, and claim to be of Arab descent.
A pure Arab, like a pure Turk. is hard
to find, and these desert tribes have not
escaped great admixture. The princi-
pal tribes between the Nile and the Red
sea are the Ababdehs, Bishaneens and
Hadendawavs, while west of the
Nile dwell the Hassaneeyehs. the
Kabaneesh and the Beggaras. Their sole
wealth consists of fiocks and camels. In
time of peace they are carriers. guides
and camel-drivers, but no amount of
money can induce them to till the
ground, and they look with contempt
upon the humble. patient fellaheen Of
the villages aud upon the jewellers
among bricks. They are tine-looking,
of medium height, well-formed. with
small hands and feet, arched instcps,
aquiIine noses. thin lips, splendid teeth
and long and frizzled hair. Their weap
ons are long, straight and broad double
edged sword blades, of Spanish or Ger
man make, to which they manufacture
handles TO suit themselves. A few have
flint lock muskets and double barrel
guns. All carry lances made in the
country, with horrible barbed heads.
To these are now added the arms taken
from the defeated Egyptian army. OF
the mettIe of the men, the British, who
with great difficulty withstood them at
Tamasi and Abu-Klea, are the best
Judges.
