The Way: tho Warrior Asked Vanderhilt
s < Il. E for a Eoaa.
Speaking about the Vanderbilts re-
minds me Of e story told me by q cer-
tain noted newspaper man as he rs-
oetvsd il from the lips of the elder:
Vanderbilt. It was an account of the
occasion when Gen. Grant, in despera-
tions went alone TO Mr.. Vanderbilt to
borrow n oney to tide over the Ward.
Grsct business E ~. 1 ~ -. -.
: Gen.s Grant was not g. business man,
says the Cincinnati Commensurate Ga
zette. =. He knew nothing of business
methods. He was keenly sensitive in
money matters and had seen much Of
poverty and pecuniary trouble. Few
people can ever know what it cost
Gen. Grant in humiliation and distress
to make the visit to Vanderbilt.
He sent his card to Mr.. Vanderbilt
during the latter's business hours.
When Mr.. Vanderbilt saw the card he
stepped out into the ante-room and
thore saw Gen. Grant sitting with
other people, waiting for an audience
| in the order in which be had entered.
He greeted the general warmly and
asked him to step into the private Of
| fee.
Gen. Grant drew back, saying that
there were other persons ahead Of
him and he would await his turn. Mr..
Vanderbilt insisted and Gen. Grant
passed into the private Offices. HIS
was not there over i've minutes.
Mr.. Vanderbilt seated himself, but
Gen. Grant remained standing,f dec1in-
| ing to take a scat and ho'd ding his soft
hat, with military cord, in his hand.
Gen. Grant said: Il have come on q
| matter OF business, Mr.. Vanderbilt {"
"All right" said Mr.. Vanderbilt
us there anything I can do for you.
generalp' for he suspected tho nature
Of the generals visit.
Said Gen. Grant, with a ghost of a
smile: Il would like to exchange
checks with you" -*
"sNGlad to hear it, - said Mr.. Wander.
! bilt drawing to him oheck-book and
dipping his pen in the ink. How
much shall it bep"
! Gen. Grant hesitated and looked
| away ana Hnally answered IL g. low
voice: Zone hundred and fifty thou
sanG dollars"
Tho check was quickly filed out and
| handed to Gen Grant. He took it
grssped bfr. Vanderbilt's hand mo-
raens and walked out hurriedly with
out word.
The rest of the matter is known
the conveyance Of the swords and
relies, &C., to Mr.. Vanderbilt
I spoke OF this pathetic story to
John Russell Young, who was fellow
traveller with ne on Maine train one
long and pleasant day recently and
he was certainly as near to Grant as
sny other man, who said he had no
| doubt of It's correctness, and / have
| given it as it was given to. me.
John Russell Young added his be-
lief that had it not been Tor that trou-
BILE Gen. Grant might be still alivs
and among ls.--Chioago News
