Gen. Grants Early Flames.

Since the discovery in the East Of
pictures painted by Gen. Grant when a
young soldier, writes Batavia, o., cor
respondent of the New York sun, sever
al of his old companions and school ac-
quaintances have been ransacking
among their relics for like mementoes.
Several have been successful, for young
Grant, as cadet on vacation or sol
dier on furloggh, made sad havoc
among the hearts in this region Of his
childhood. While at school he display
ed considerable artistic ability, and de-
yoto3 crore of his time TO drawing car
toons than 70 study. For drawing a
caricature of an old -ehoolmaster at
Bethel and passing it among the prHils,
Grant was soundly whipped by the irate
teacher, who caught pupil laughing
over it. When a West Point cadet
Ulysses fell in love with Miss Kate Lowe.
who lived with her brother in Batavia.
He was Col. John w Lowe, who became
leading lawyer. and was killed at
Carnifax Ferry in 1861, while command
ing the Twelfth Ohio Regiment. He
had served with Grant in the Mexican
war, and the young captain was looked
upon as an accepted suitor long before
he left West Point. While there he sent
her water-color landscape, which she
greatly priced and has kept all these
years. She is now an old lady. Mrs
Kate Rotheray, Of Jersey City.
But there ara other of Grants early
flames in this section who ihave preserv-
ed his letters and presents. Miss Hattie
King. maiden lady of Georgetown.

the young soldier, and keeps to-day her
old album in which he wrote a verse of
poetry when on vacation. When in
Mexico he sent her a pencil-drawing of
Tehuantepec, which is also preserved
There was considerable rivalry between
Miss Hattie and her sister. Mary A.
King The first never married, but
Mary. who found most favor in Grants
eyes while he was cadet. was forgotten
when he became full-fedged soldier
There was some misunderstanding be-
tween them. and the correspondence
was broken-off She is now Mrs. John
Tailord widow. of Thibodeaux, La
Grant never forgot her, and while at
Batavia and GEORGETOWN, after the war,
inquired of her relatives as to her resi-
denee. He learned that she had been
in the South during the war, and had
lost her husband and much OF her for
tune. One of his first acts as president,
in 1869, was to appoint her postmistress
Her Confederate neighbors advised her
not to accept. She accordingly refused.

the rural girls. He was at every dance
and party for miles. aud was counted a
good dancer. One of his early attach
ments was for Miss Sarah Clarke. sister
OF Congressman II. W. Clarke, and who.
after marrying Charles Hunt, died of
cholera in 1850. Among Grants other
early flames were Miss Carrie Tice, who
died Mrs. Richards. and Mrs. Hubbeli,

Roller skating.

The time seems tQ have arrived
when the medical profession should con
slider the sanitary aspects Of rCller-skat-
ing as n sport, and give its opinion TO
the press. The theological profession
long ago, disclosed, with disapproval,
the tendency it has 70 lower the general
moral tone Of those who attend the
Kinks. 1t is believed that there is dan
ger 10 the physical as well as moral
health, and physicians must be aware Of
many eases Of injury from excessive
skating, or falls, or bruises, sustained
while skating. The subject has Just
been considered bY the Women 5 Ho-
meopathic Medical Society in Chicago.
Twenty members testified thaf the pas
time was extremely huriful- The NUM-
Der of persons who had been crippled
for life by falls aud other accidents in
CURED while skating. was astonishing.
The physicians reported large numbers
of spinal troubles and sprainS. in which
recovery was long delayed. Serious i'll
nesses due TO oYerheating were reported
as being frequent. In but three cases
was there reported any gain in health
from an indulgence in the exercise, and
in those cases great care and lnodera-
ton had been observed One physician
referred TO three deaths in Beloit, Wis
consin, directly traeeable to injuries re-
ceiyed at the rinbs Il the medical pre-
fession win consider this subject in their
