Armies Of the Ease and west.

In his official report, as may be remem-
bered, Gen. Grant said: at has been my
fortune to see the armies of both the west
and east fight battles, and from what l
have seen | know there is no difference In
their fighting qualities. All that it was
possible for men to do in battle they have
done" Few people are aware, however
that Gen Grant took special pains to al
low the Army of the Potomac to complete
the entire work about Richmond, lest In
future it should be thrown up against the
east that the western armies had to come
on and help in it's specific work. In the
last days of the war he mentioned this idea
to Mr.. Lincoln, who said that he appre-
ciated it, but had never thought OF 1t De
fore, so anxious was he to get the WORK
done somehow. Gen. Grant did not eX-
pect the soldiers to bicker on the suoJecC'
but he was determined to give no opening
IN the politicians. Review of Grants

We had a medium-sized square room, fur

they were placed in a row along the wan.
scoting, beginning at the left hand SIDE Oh

until the entire room was encIrcled.
While this was in progress, songs, toasts,

LEONAINIE.

I eonainie-angels named her,
And they took the light
of the laughing stars and framed her
In a smile of white;
And they made her hair Of gloo my
Midnight. and her eyes Of bloomy
Moonshine. and they brought her to me
In a solemn night
In a solemn night Of summer,
When my heart of gloom
Blossomed up to greet the conner
Like a rose In bloom;
All forebodings that distressed me
L forgot as joy caressed me,
living Joy that caught and pressed me
In the arms Of doomD
Only spake the little lisper
In the angel tongue;
Yet 1, listening, heard her whisper;
Songs are only sung
Here below that they may grieye you
Tales are told you to deceive you
So must Leonainie leave you
While her love is young"
Then God smiled and it was morning
Matchless and supreme;
Heavens glory seemed adjoining
Earth with its esteem;
Every heart but mine seemed gifted
With her voice of prayer, and lifted
Where my Leonainie drifted
From me like dream.
