When, presently, King Grover spake;
"a murrsin feize this futile cake
Come, Daniel, pass the pie!'
Then quoih Sir Daniel, flsming hot;
"Pie hath not been In C>melot

Demand for pie where there Is cake,
For pies n ribald thing"

Which iil-beseemeth mine and me-"
King Grover answered nat,

Let dotards cavil as they may
And pumpkin pie, At that"
Then frowning prodisious frown,
Sir Daniel pulled his visor down,
And, with 4 mighty sigh,
Out strode he 10 the kitchen, where
lie bAde the varlet slaves prepare
Three times each day pic.
Thenceforth King Grover was content,
And all his reign In peace was spent;
And wnea twas questioned why
He waxed so hale, and why, the while
The whole domain was free from guile,
He simply answered ''Piel"

brevetted Major General, and received his
commission as Majors General March 4, 1869.
Gen. Schofield's advancement brings Gen. Pope
to third place III command. and leaves the fourth
position, or that of third Major-General, vacant.
Still another vacancy will be created on the
10Th of March by the retirement of Gen. Pope.
These two vacancies will be filled by Presi-
Dental appointment, naturally, but not neces-
sariiy, from the officers who stand next in rank,
or who hold the rank of iBrigadier- General.
There are six OF these: Gen. Oliver o. Howard,
Gen. Alfred III. Terry, Gen. Geo. Crook, Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, Gen, David S. Stanley and
Gen. John GibbOn. Four of these are gradu-
ates of West Point, and Gen. Stanley and Gen.
Crook have been in service since 1852, Gen.
Howard since 1854, and Gen. Gibb0n since
1877. Gen. Terry did not join the Regular
Army until Jan. Is, 1865, when he received the
rank of BrigadierGeneral. Gen. Miles was
mustered out of the volunteer militia and into
the Regular Army as Colonel in September,
1866. 1t promoted in the order of seniority,

mentioned as a candidate before he secured the
nomination. In the Democratic National Con-
vention held in New York in 1868 he received
1i41 votes for the nomination, but was finally
defeated by Horatio Seymour. In the Cincin-
natl Convention of June "a. 1880, Gen. Han
cock was nominated for the Presidency on the
third ballot, receiving T05 votes out of total
of 738. His Republican opponent was Gen.
James A. Garfield, and the campaign which
followed was a very bitter one. Its closeness
on the popular vote showed what hold Gen.
Hancock had upon the hearts of his country
men. Garfield was elected on the popular vote
by but 9,46i plurality, receiving 45i, ,416 votes
to 4,444,952 for Hancock. OF the Electoral
vote Garfield received a majority of 80, having
PA votes to Hancock 155. The States which
voted for Hancock were Alabama Arkansas,

Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis-

for Garfield were California lone vote), Colo

sofa, Nebraska, New Hampshire. New York,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont, and Wisconsin.
SINCE THAT ELECTION
Gen. Hancock has taken no part in politics, and
was very rarely seen in public. He was always
to be found attending to his military duties on
Governors Island quietly and unostentatiously.
His last appearance in public capacity was at
the funeral of Gen. Grant, in August, 1885,
when he had charge Of the obsequies, and headed
the great pageant in its impressive march to
Riverside Park. The upright figure of Gen.
Hancock, with its martial bearing, was then
looked upon for the first time by hundreds of
thousands of his fellow-citizens, and for the
last time, as it has proved, by other hundreds
of thousands. As commander he was loved
and respected by his officers and men, and as a
gentleman he was esteemed by all who came in
contact with him.

When IA years of age he suffered from an at
tack of infammatory rheumatism, which left
him cripple. few years later an affiiction
of the spine was developed and shortly after
he attained his majority he was rendered help
less by the disease and took to his bed where
he remained until his death. For the last 80
years of his life he has been totally blind and
during the past 90 years he has been unable to
feed himself or even to raise either hand to his

firmly fixed, and food could only be given him
with great difficulty. During his long period
of helplessness and pain he has been faithfully
waited upon by his mother, who is now in her
