Anecdotes Of General Grant.

The following anecdotes appear in

Traveller: An officer who served Oh
Grants staff during the war said to
the Traveller correspondent: "The
first time I ever saw Grant was when
he came to take command of the
army. This was ut Brandywine Sta
ton. We had been accustomed to
SEQ Mcclellan, Halleck, Burnside, and
the other genera!p go about from
brigade TO brigade and division to

geousiy uniformed staff officers, and,
of course, we expected that Grants
arrival would have great deal OF

George crme into the hall, and,
mounting table, addressed his

A Glance nj the Result.
TSan Antonio Times.


The result OF tho elections in the
numerous states on the I'd inst. is
sufficiently known to enable one to
see just how tho two great parties Of
this country stand in relative strength.
The democrats retain New York on
the vote OF tho whole state. Judge
Peckham, the candidate for the court
of appeals bench, was elected over
Daniels, the republican candidate, by
about 5000 majority. These two
gentlemen lead their parties respec-
lively in Tuesdays election.
The republicans gain two congress
mon and retain control of the legisla-
ture, thereby insuring the election of
U. S. Senator to sncceed Warren
Miller Now jersey elects demo-
cratic governor, by an increased ma
iority over 1884, aud elects n demo.
cratic legislature, thus insuring tho
election of democratic senator to
succeed Mr.. Seweli-republican. The
republicans gain one congressman in
Now Jersey.
Connecticut goes democratic and
gains democratic congressman, but
elects o republican Legislature, which
will elect successor to Con. Hawley.
The democrats elect the legislature
in Indiana and gain Senator in the
place of Gen Harrison, republican.
The democrats carry California and
Colorado. In those states they elect
the governors and legislatures and
gain two congressman. The Cali
fornia Legislature will elect n demo
crat to the U. S. Senate to succeed a
republican. The republicans carry
Nevada by an immense minority, and
thus secure republican senator in
tho place Of j. G. Fair, democrat.
The democrats gain four U. s. Sena-
tors, Danielin Virginia instead OF Ma
hone, ono each in Indiana, California,
and New Jersey, end they lose ono in
Nevada, making thom net gain of
three, thus making the senate stand
80 republicans to 81 democrats,
counting Riddleberger with the re-
publicmns. The present senate has
40 republicans and 81 democrats.
The House now hes about As domo-
cratic majority. The next House
will have o democratic majority Of
about IL. Tho democrats carry all
the stntes that they carried in 1884,
ana two, California and Colorado,
that they did not carry in 1884. In
addition to this they roduce the ma
jority in Massachusetts and gain two
congressman, thus making this state
doubtful in 1883. tt is not yet de-
c;aod which party he's carried Mime
sofa. Both claim the governor, but
the democrats gain three congress
men. No state election was held in
Virginio, but the republicans carry
the stale on the congressional vote,
and gain four congressmen---not five,
as has been claimed. Hopkins, who
WIS elected as labor candidate, as
sorts that he viii act with the demo-
Gratis. The democrats lose congress-
mon in number Of states, notably
in Virginia. kentucky, Illinois, Ihdi-
ana ana Ohio. Tie democrats gain
in Minnesota, Colorado,

ing view of tho whole fold, the out
look for 1883 is decidedly favorable
to democratic success.

"TIIE DAY We LEFT IRELAND"
A New Song.

The day we left Ireland, ne'er can forget 1t,
The sorrow and tears Of despair,
Tho good-byes and kissing, the sad work OF

And mothers last blessing and prayer.
Poor father, though weary, heart-broken
and feeble,
Came with me almost to the bay,
And when tho ship sailed he but whigp cred
'God bless you"
Then watched till we sped far away.
The day we left Ireland, how often in dream
ing,
see my dear loved ones at home,
But soon / awaken, and still the broad
Divides us, and I am alone.
Farewell, little Teddy, and golden haired
Molly,
And elly,-oh! had tho wings,
How swiftly I'd fly TO the home of my child
hood,
Where thought of sweet memory ciings.
Tho day we left Ireland-but why am l
weeping2
Be still, throbbipg heart, forget,
Perhaps again some day my loved ones will
meet me,
Then why those sad tears of regret?
Old Ireland, ray ccuntIy, you bright, spark

They never can 6arken OF tarnish your las

And Ireland soon shall be free.
