The question might have occasioned
discussion among the lord chamber
lains whom Grant afterward used to
meet at European courts.
When President Lincoln himself Wis
tied City Point he took as little pomp
with him as the general-in-chief. He
arrived unannounced, and leaving the
steamer at the foot OF the bluff, climb
ed up the bank alone. The sentinel
did not know him, and the tall, I'M
calmly civilian in black clothes and a
high stiff hat was stopped like any 9TH
err intruder. The soldier took him for
sutler or sanitary commissioners
1t was a minute or two before an officer
could be found who recognized the
president, and ushered him in to Grant.
The tone OF talk at Grants head =
quarters was as familiar as the style OF
living. Several of the men who had
been longest with Grant were palmer

Inns was habitually and exceedingly
SO. He was profoundly attached TO
Grant, but did not always display the
same respect in manner or language
which the others maintained. Grant
pardoned this because he knew there
was no intention OF disrespect, and be-
| cause he valued Rawlins's regard and
services. He always joined the circle
around the campfire at night, and his
| presence seemed no restraint, except
that, because OF his own purity of con =

was by, the sort OF stories that are
often common around camp-fires.
Grants purity indeed was not confin ed
to language. In all my intimacy with

What woman has not at some time
or other had memories awakened by
the sight OF piece OF some special
gown suddenly brought to light9 To
some, therefore. it will be welcome
news, perhaps, to learn that an in
genious woman has hit upon the idea
OF a dress album" in which tiny cut
tings of every gown belonging to its
owner are to be chronologically ar
ranged under the dates on which they
were first or specially worn. There is
decided touch OF pathos in the
notion, for an occasional review oil
this curious volume as the years rolled
by could scarcely fail to bring back to
memory many by-gone hours OF happi-
ness and sorrow connected with the
collection. What picture would
arise to the mind, for instance, at the

dress, or of ones wedding gown. OF

Awas Saturday night, mid winter,
And the snow with its sheeted pail
Had covered the stubbled clearings

But high in the deep.mouthed chimney,
Mid laughter and shout and din,
The children were piling yule,logs
To welcome the Christmas in.
"Ah, sol Wen be glad tomorrow"

and expressed great aStonishment at
the simplicity he saw. 1t was far diff
ferent, he said, from the ceremony
that Lee maintained.
But Grant never entirely laid aside
the habits and tastes OF his early life;
he was, indeed, never coarse or vulgar,
but he remained Il plain man to the
end. His dress in camp was in
conspicuous; his coat seldom but
toned up to the throat, and often I'M
brushed. even in battle, and during
many campaigns he wore private
soldiers OvercOat.
His tent was as plain as that of a
captain; a little larger than those of
his staff, because be sometimes wanted
to invite important generals into it TO
discuss his plans.
The mess was well supplied with
beef, canned vegetables, condensed
milk, coffee, rice, etc, but the cooking
could barely be considered delicate.
In camp we had soft bread, but on the
march fell back on hard~tack,
like private soldiers. Chickens were
supplied in the season, and a few other
such dainties, but not regularly. At
Christmas and Thanksgiving ! some
thoughtful patriot at the north would
send turkeys enough to go roupb, but
can't remember cranberries or Anince
pies.
There was never wine or spiritSpn
his table in the field, nor was eith1s,
ever offered at his headquarters in his
presence. If any of his officers kept
whisky it was in their own tents,
and Grant neither saw it nor shared it.
Breakfast was rarely earlier than
nine and often as late as ten o'clock,
for Grant rose late whenever there
was no need to rise early, and we al
ways waited till he was ready to sit
down. He hardly ever went TO bed
till one or two o'clock in the morning,
and therefore liked his pillow even il
it was hard. He often used TO say
that he was an indolent man, and
think he was, naturally. His temper
ament was phlegmatic, II not sluggish;
certainly he was disinclned to exer.
ton after he was forty years OF age.
After the midnight march that follow
ed the battle Of the Wilderness. we
halted toward morning at Todd's Tay.
