GRANGER AND VANDERBILT.

General Granger died at Santa Fe
and was buried in the Lexington Gem
etery, where q massive monument
marks bis grave. Commodore Van
derbilt, who soon after lay on his death
bed at his Staten Island home, prompt
ly placed in the hands Of his son, Will
liam H, five thousand dollars to be in
vested for the widow and son of him
who had been his friend in need, and
who had called this son Commodore
Vanderbilt" Mrs. Granger accepted
a position in one of the departments at
Washington. In the course Of a few
months the sands OF life run out, and
the aged capitalist was laid to rest. By
his will he devised some fifteen thOus-
and more to Mrs. Granger, thus rem
dering her independent Of self-exertiOn,
and thus tesiifying ia death as in life
his gratitude for the nest egg OF his col
Ossal fortune. William II. managed
the legacy with conscientious wisdom.
On his desth-bed he said to William X.
i should like to add another cOdiciI 10
my will. L want 10 leave two thous-
and dollars TO each of two widows
whom / know. They are not in want
but they are 50 big-hearted that they
may come to need il one Ofthese days. "
He mentioned Mrs. Granger and Mrs.
-. 1t chauced that he died without
adding the cOdicil; but to the credit OF
poor abused human nature be it said
that William K, promptly for warded
a DRAFT TO Mrs. Granger at Lancaster
Kentucky, with the explanation that il
was bis fathers wish. Alas She had
breathed her last that morning at sun
rise ia her beautiful home surrounded
by her friends. They telegraphed the
Iidings, saying that the draft would
be az once returned. Swiftly
came back the message, "Keek the
mOney-there will be extra expense C
meet now" But the generous offer
% was declined and the money was sem
back.
Now, 10 this authentic story there il

The sum was no more to the railroad
magnate than q hundred dollars q

much as the hundred dollars to the
West Point Lieutenant. Yet il was 4

suit was brought. a compromise
was arranged, last week, 10y which
$500 was deducted, and the com
