RECOLLECTIONS OF GEN. GRANT
By His SOn---COl. r. D. Grant.

We take pleasure in announcing to our
readers the early appearance Of a series of
articles from the pen of Col. Fred Grant,
who writes his recollections of the Vicks-
burg Campaign. He accompanied his father
on that memorable campaign through all its
weary marches, desperate battles and the
long siege which eliminated July 4, 1863
III is wonderfully interesting, full of the
adventures of boy who was thrown into
Che midst of wonderful scenes filled with
untold dangers and novel horrors TO the
mind of youth just from the quiet circle
of the home fireside
Col. Grant tells many things interesting
and significant for mature readers, while to
the boys his narrative viii prove thrilling
beyond description here While the story
lis plain history of what he saw and heard
at his fathers headquarters and on the bat
tlefeld and bvouac, it reads like romance,
more entertaining than anything from the
pen Of Peter Farley or Capt Mayne Reade.

MUCH BETTER THAN HE SEEMED

Victoria Morosini, who made very de-
cided sensation two years ago by clipping
with and marrying her fathers coachman;
who made less pronounced sensation by
going on the stage as an opera singer, and
marketing her notoriety; who made still
milder one by failing as prima donna and
dropping to the position of chorus girl, has
added TO the list by deserving her husband
and fleeing to O convent, where she is to stay
On probation for a year and then return to
her fathers house. The most unusual part
of the story is that the coachman husband
continues TO rise in public estimation in
consequence of the manly way in which he
acts in regard TO the matter. In spite of the
halo of romance which sentimentalists would
fain throw over this sort of affairs, the harsh
truth must be admitted that the most coach
men, walters, servants, etc, who succeed in
inducing their employers daughters to elope
with them are very scurvy fellows, who

MAJ. JAMES LAIRD.

Mai. Laird of the Second Nebraska District,
Is one of the youngest Members of Congress, rs
he was one of the youngest soldiers in the
army. He was born at Fowlerville, N. Y,
June 20, 1S49. While he was child his family
removed to Michigan. He entered the service
in Michigan regiment in 1862, being not yet
IA years of age. and served through the war.
For his marked gallantry and efficiency he was
repeatedly promoted, reaching the rank of
MajOr-a grade filled by very few Of his years.
A Major at IL is a rare thing in military annals.
Two older brothers also entered the service
and both were killed in action.
Mai. Laird distinguished himself in many
hard fought battles of the Army of the POto-
mac, and was severely wounded five times. At
Gaines's Mill, while calamity leading his men,
he was shot through the body and left for
dead. He also received two wounds at the
battle Of Gettysburg. one a saber thrust under
the blade of the right shoulder, which deprived
him of the use of his right arm for consider
able time. At the second battle Of Bull Run
he again wounded. While PROSTATE on
the ground he seized IA Union flag that lay be-
side him, and, waving it over his head. shouted
to his companions: " Forward, boys; / am all
right" There is mention of him in many
places in army reports for gallantry on the
field. His record as . soldier was singularly
brilliant.
After the war he received good education
AZ Adrian college anu the university OF Mlchi-
gan, graduating from the law school of the lat
ter in 1871. He removed to Nebraska, where
he has been engaged in the practice of law
He was q member Of the Constitutional Con-
vention of that State in 1875. He was elected
to the 4Sth Congress and reelected to the 10th,
as Republican, by nearly 1000 majority. He
represents large district, embracing 26 Coun-
ties. The needs Of such constituency impose
srduous duties upon Member of Congress, but
Mai Laird has met ALL demands upon him with
the utmost zeal and diligence. A year and .
half ago he had fall, by which one Of his legs
was broken. He was lame for many months,
but still managed to get around with remark
able activity.
1t has been noticed of late years that many
of the younger and newer Members In the
House have shown more good sense In the
The National tribune., 1886-09-09

confidence of his fellow members, and more than
justified the partiality of his constituents.
Speaker Carlisle appointed him as one of the
six Republican members of the Committee on
Invalid Pensions, and better selection could
not possibly have been made. Maj. Conger's
big. warm heart overhows with the kindliest
sympathy for the suffering veterans who
marched with him in the ranks Of the loyal
host that put down the rebellion.
Mai. Conger's services on this committee are
worthy Of unstinted praise. Few of its MEM
bers gave to the work so much of ability, time,
and hard, patient work. With him it was q
labor oflove. The scores of private pension bills
referred to him received the most careful ex-
animation. and all his reports evineed thought
full and intelligent inquiry. 1t is no dis
paragement to other members Of the committee
to say that to no one are the soldiers Of the
country more indebted than to Ma. Conger. In
all general pension legislation he has been un-
yielding in his demands and eloquent in his
pleas for a just aud liberal policy toward the
soldiers and those dependent upon them.
It is q matter OF congratulation that Maj.
Conger will be continued in Congress. few
days ago he was unanimously nominated by
reclamation with great enthusiasm. The con-
vention adopted the following resolutions, which
The NATIONAL TRIBUNE heartily indorses,
knowing how we'll Maj. Conger deserves the
confidence and kindly feeling therein ex-
pressed:
We challenge the strctest scrutiny Of the personal
and political record of the Hon. r. III. Conger, and
confidently present him To the people Of the Seventh
District candidate for reelection pointing with
pride to his fidelity to the people of the district dur
ing the recent session of Congress; to his prompt
attention to every claim of his constituents; to his
laborous and indefatigable work upon the Com
miltee of Invalid Pensions; to his votes upon the
oeomargarine bill the forfeiture of unearned rail-
road lands: for his efforts to secure interstate
transportation law in short, to his constant and
consistent opposition TO the eucroachment Of corpo
rate monopolies-
On the motion to renominate him every dele
gate in the convention arose to his feet in will
ing response. In response Maj. Conger made q
mastery speech, which was frequently inter-
rupted by hearty applause. AT its close the
long continued cheering attested the regard in
which he is held by his constituents. No SOL
der in the Seventh Iowa District can possibly
go wrong in helping to swell the big majority
he is sure to receive at the election.
