lnUO ner Dlack Hair she is as bright as a dol
lar and she still has enough iron in her
blood to make the life of the present comp
troller of the treasury decidedly miserable
The comptroller's Office seems to be run on
the principle of how not to do it. Miss
Phoebe's complaint relates to about 81, 300
of legal marshal's fees which some OF the
clerical whippersnappers have disallowed
Notwithstanding that they have been sworn
to by half a dozen clerks of courts and dis
trict attorneys away out in the Missouri.
Miss Couzins has been here for several
weeks trying to right her claims and she
seems as far from her end as she was when
she came. She is, You know, a lawyer her
self and is a graduate of a law college. She
made her w argument before the comp
troller and proved her case, but she saws
the ms and outs of the government are
such that she does not know but that she
will have to go to Congress in order to Sc
cure the rights which the law has allowed
her.

is full of interest.

GOSSIP ABOUT THE GRANT FAMILY.
The revival of the question of the re-
moval of General Grants remains to Wash
ington calls attention to the Generals fam
lily. | met Ulysses $. Grant, Jr. here a few
days ago. He was riding out to the capitol
in one of the fve-cent herdics. 1 had not
seen him since he was connected with the
Cosmopolitan magazine and | did not first
recognize him. His rosy face is now
shaved as clean as a baby's cheek, and it. is
wonderful how like his father he looks.
He has the same cast of features and the
same thoughtful eyes that YOU see in the
photographs of General Grant. He tells
me that his brother, Colonel Fred Grant. is
well pleased with his situation at the Aus
trian court, and he said, whether faceti-
ouSly or not l do not know, that his
mothers reason for not coming to Wash
ington to live was that she feared some of
the newspaper syndicates would ask her to
write Washington letters. Mrs. Grant
could write a very interesting book if she
would. She was the half of General
Grants soul and she was associated with
him in his every act of his public and pri-
vate life. Just after the generals death
she dictated a volume of "reminiscences
fully as large as the generals book and the
shorthand notes of these are in her posses
rion to-day. Mrs. Grant has refused tn al
low them to be published just now and the
primary reason for taking them down was
that they might be saved to the family
They will probably sometime go into book
form and they will nave an immense circu.
lation.
Speaking of Grant, 1 met Harrison. his
body servant, on the street yesterday. He
looks just the same as he did when he was
with Grant at Mount McGregor and he
tells me he is doing well here in Washing
ton He mas a place as messenger in the
war department and he receives a sufficient
salary to give something every month to-
wards the payment of a S~3,500house which
he has bought on Madison street inst off
Sixteenth. He has a number of relics of
Grant which the general gave him and he
says that Grant was the greatest man that
ever lived.

Senator Stockbridge runs his farm on
a different principle and whether he is
ashamed of it or not, he has it managed bv
his partner and his interest in it is repre-
