remember especially one night when 1t fell
TO my lot to send my card up TO Gen. Grants
rooms, In the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He had
Just returned from long journey,
and his trunks were scarcely unpacked.
A host of friends crowded his
apartments. The bell-boy came back TO say
that the General would be Obliged TO ask
that the cali be postponed, unless IL was OF
an urgent nature. Brig. Gen. Emory

anything about his careeri" 1.-THE General

Withdrew from the party, and seated me be-

first time l had ever seen the hero indoors,
which may account for what then seemed TO
me-and | have pretty vivid memory or IL
yet-a sad display OF bashfulness that jun
bled up my words and sent ideas helter-

awesome in private, till you get real wei

civil wars that one could wish to hear. Time
passed quickly by, and still found myself
deeply absorbed in the talk poured out with
a strange freedom for one who will 20 down
In the history of characteristics as the silent
man. Not once did the hero speak in self
gorifcation; IL was of others wholly that he
talked, and of them only In tho kindliest

things, the valiant things, bravery and dash,
and logged fighting that he spoke. There
was nothing sour about him. almost forgot

summers Last Day In the senate.
A friend of humanity, his policy was

between nations by arbitration instead
of by war was one. of his fondest dreams.

was as follows:

The bill was ordered to be printed,
