GEN. GRANTS CABIN.

Philadelphia Grieving Because Its Going
to Rack and Ruin.
Philadelphians are grieving over the rapid
decay of Gen. Grants cabin in the park.
Weather and the 'svaudals' are preying
on it; what the latter do not carry off the
former fast disintegrates. One side OF it is
about rotted away, and only few boards
shut out the weather from the interior. The
cabin stands in what is called the East park,
near the river bank, and just south Of the
Girard Avenue bridge. Wien it vas first
placed there all Philadelphia went enthusiast
tic, and declared it should be preserved for
ever, but time and the ''deceiIfulness of
riches" have caused it to be neglected.
1t is historic cabin, too, and if the ''crazen
for relics of greatness is ever justifiable, one
might certainly excuse it in regard to this
cabin When the Army Of the Potomac had
crossed the James, and after the failure Of
the first assaults had settled down TO the slow
siege of Petersburg and Richmond, the great
commander had this cabin erected for winter
quarters, and during the ensuing five months
that cabin at various times contained as
much personal greatness as any building in
the world ever did. At one time Lincoln,
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Meade and Ad-
miral Porter sat around the table in this lit
tie hut; for Sherman had come up for the
final consultation after completing his march
TO the sea. and Lincoln and Stanton were
visiting City Point to confer with Grant.
Wichita eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1886-1890, 1890-01-05

In this cabin Grant wrote al his elaborate
letters and dispatches Of that winter, the tel
egraph Office being placed near for conve-
nieuee. There he received every evening the
reports OF all his subordinates, and rarely
retired before midnight. Spies, scouts and
orderliss were constantly arriving and de-
parting, officers Of all grades coming and
going. and in the midst of il sat Grant IN
his light blue, undress soldiers lovercoat,
with broad-brimmed hat on and cigar in his
mouth. On the table lay tvo enor nous
maps, on which he traced day by day, and
often hour by hour, the movements II the
whole military field, and red points, blue
lines and movable pegs showed the locations
OF the last important events or lines Of the
last movements.
The cabin was erected on the bluff over
looking James river in November, 1884, and
though completely abandoned IN April, 1865,
was BIZ happy chance preserved Eleven
years later il was purchased and taken TO
Philadelphia, the country being assured that
the city fathers would sea TO Its preservation
The roof and three sides Of the building are
still IN fair preservation, but OF the fourth
side, that part which remained sound hes
been carried away by relic hunters. One
man lately iugged of three feet section OF
one Of the logs. and quite lately parties OF
excursionists have visited it especially TO get

point special guard FOR 1t. There is no
fence around it, and its general appear

THE CONSTITUTION GOLD IRONSIDES0.
dates from the year 1874, when six frigates
were built. Three of them had a gllns-the
Constitution, the President and the United
States. Three had 81 guns-the Chesapeake,
the Constellation and the Congress. Other
frigates and smaller vessels were built down
to the year 1901, when streak Of. economy
crossed the government, and all but thirteen
frigates were sold Among the thirteen were
the six named above. A few smaller vessels
were built, but the United States had a naval
force of only twenty in all when the war OF
1872 broke out.
The most famous OF the old frigates was
the Constitution, famiiarly known as 'Old
Ironsides" Her capture Of the Guerrero,
one of the best frigates in the British navy,
on the 18th of August, 1912, was the first sur
render of an English vessel TO the Americans
since the Revolutionary war. None OF the
fresh water vessels used on the Great Lakes
and Lake Champlain survived more than ten
years after the war, but some Of the earlier
salt water ships are IN existence today,
although they have not been seen upon the
water for many years. The old Constitution
lies in a sheltering house at the Charleston
navy ward, in Boston, Mass, while one Of the
original prows Of the same may be seen In
the yard itself.
In 1879 the frigate Constellation, after cap
turing several French vessels, disappeared
and was never heard Of. But the navy OF
generation ago had frigate Constellation in
place Of the original one. The Saratoga, Of
sixteen guns, was lost in the same way in 1907.
But there has been at least one other Sara
toga since that date. In 1914 the sloop OF
war Wasp left Portsmouth, n. H, captured
several British vessels and disappeared. The
most remarkable instance Of loss since the
war OF 1912 was that Of the Hornet, well
known factor in that war, that is supposed
to have foundered in the Gulf Of Mexico
about the year $780, 1t is no uncommon
thing for vessels in all navies to disappear,
leaving no trace OF their fate. So when they
have attractive or appropriate names, the
practice is to give their names to newly built
vessels.
The victories Of the American navy in the
war of 1912 led to a great increase IN its
number of sail: so that, for many years, the
United States had a navy to be proud OF
Wichita eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1886-1890, 1890-01-05

This deveI6prnent in our naval resources may
be classed under three heads: First, the
building Of larger sailing vessels; second. the
building Of small steam gunboats, and third,
the building OF steam frigates-which last
brings US down TO the opening OF the civil
war in 1851.
OF .he original six frigates built in 1874, the
fate OF the Constitution and the Constellation
has already been noted The President was
captured and destroyed by the British in the
war Of 1914 The United States, the Chesa-
peaks and the Congress lasted FOR time, but
afterward they were laid up In ordinary ike
the Constitution. In calling the roll Of the
navy, however, they were mentioned, out Of
courtesy for what they had done. All Of
thess frigates were two deckers-that is 70
saw. they had row OF guns upon the upper
or sper deck, and another upon the lower or
berth deck The three dsckers had guns not
only upon these two decks, but also upon the
lower or orlup deck Not many Of the three
deckers were built, but the chief Of them
were the Pennsylvania tour decker, the
North Carolina, the Delaware, the Hancock
and the Vermont.
Just after the Mexican war, from le4S 70
1855, a small feet Of little armed gunboats
came in for share Of the public attention
Some of these were the Columbia, the Michi-
gan, the Mississippi, the Susquehanna and
the Powhacan 4 full roll Of 81 TIE United
States navy at that time included ffry-ous
vessels The third step in the development
OF the navy before the war commenced was
the building Of SIX steam frigates il the sew
eral navy yards Of the United States The
first 70 be launched was the MeTTiulac, from
the Charlestowu navy yard, il June, 1850.
TIE lne-of battle ships Ohio and Vermont
were present. Tie Vermont was SAILING

consisted Of sailing frigates, sailing sloops,
l screw frigate, 5 screw sloops Of the first
class, s screw s!oops Of the second class,
screw sloops of the third class and side
wheel steamers There were also available,
with some repairs, IS sailing vessels, screw
frigates, l screw sloop and 4 side wheel steam
ers, A few days after Fort Sumter was
fred upon, the government Of the United
States became uneasy as to the fate Of the
navy ward at Norfolk, Va, which was really
within the Confederate lines. Although there
had been several chances to move away the
ships or to protect the yard, yet it was de
stroyed with all the ships Of war gathered
there, except the sloop of war Cumberland,
which was taken out of the yard to place
of safety. 1t was great calamity to the
United States, this destruction Of old histor-
ical ships.
When the navy yard was destroyed the
Confederates rushed in and saved what they
could. Among the salvage were 200 can
non, which the Confederates used with great
destruction against the United States for
more than a year afterward. This tided
them over the present need and gave them
chance 10 send to foreign countries for further
armament. But the most important salvage
was the Merrimac itself, which had been
launched SO proudly st Charlestown only six
years before The hull was found 10 be IN
such good shape that the vessel was raised
and a year taken in reccnstruccing her and
arrring her with four inches Of iron plating.
The appearance Of the Merrimac when COM
plsted was a surprise TO the frigate Congress
and the sloop OF war Cumberland in Hamp-
ton Roads, OF Fortress Monroe, on the sth Of
March, 1862.
II the Monitor had not appeared upon
the following day every vessel in the
United States navy might have been de-
stroyed in turn; Washington and the great
cities Of the north might have been laid IN
der contribution TO the Confederate cause,
and the story Of the war would have been
quite different from what il Is Thus the
glories Of the old wooden navy, that was in
its prime between the years 1850 and 1883
was closed by the destruction at Norfolk
navy yard in April, 1851, and by the crash
