| And l heard her ask him this and that, and
him tell her all.
Then hot things were put round me- soon

Then my love, with my hand in hers, told

that if should some day be found in trance,

GEN. GRANTS CABIN.
The Historic Relic of the War is Worm
eaten and Fast Decaying.

The Historic Relic of the War is Worm
eaten and Fast Decaying.
The historic log cabin which was Grants
headquarters during the most important part
of the civil war; and which now stands in
Paramount Park, says the Philadelphia Press
is fast falling into decay and being carried Off
piecemeal by relic hunters and pocketknife
vandals. The hut stands amid clump of trees
at the top of an undulating grass grown knoll
not far removed from a great elevator and
hybrid settlement of razzle- dazzes, soda water
fountains and peanut stands.
Animated and turbulent as the adjacent
acres of park territory are when once the out
skirts of the thin woods amidst which the hut
is located are penetrated, all becomes still and
lifeless so far as human agency is directly con-
cerned The park guard, il he ever strolls

ever IL was put up in 1864, and was occupied
by Grant during the last four or five months
of the rebellion. 1t stood on bluff overlook
ing the James River, where were established
the headquarters of the Union armies from
June, 1864 to March, 1865. During the Sum-
mer and part of the Autumn Grant had slept in
a tent, but as the weather grew colder cabins
were built for the officers.
Grant, as COMMUNICATIVE Chief of all the
military forces, had structure more preten-
tious than his staff, nasmuch as it contained
two rooms, whereas the other officers cabins
had but one. Mrs Grant spent portion OF
the Winter with her husband and after her
departure it became the resort Of all the mill
tary lights on the Union side of the conflict.
The most Acknowledgements events in the
history of this country were planned in this
now moldering little shanty.
From it Grant issued his orders ratifying
Sherman's march to the sea. From it he sum-
moned Sheridan to the Potomac. From it he
removed Butler after the failure at Fort
Fisher. The celebrated dispatches to Thomas
were written in it. Here Grant received the
Commissioners who came to treat for peace.
