How Grant Became a Smoker.

@My father" said COL Grant, "tried
to smoke while at West Point, but
only because it was against the regu
lations, and then he didn't succeed

habit from smoking light cigars and
cigarettes during the Mexican war,
but it wasn't a fixed habit Wher

ing. But he went on as a light
smoker, casual smoker, until the
day of the fall of Fort Donelson.
Then the gun-boats had been worsted
somewhat, and Admiral Foote having
been wounded, he sent ashore
for my father to come and SEE
him. Father went aboard, and
the Admiral, as is customary
had his cigars passed. My fathe,
took one, and was smoking it when
he went ashore. There he was met
by a staff officer, who told him that
there was sortie and the right wing
had been struck and smashed in.
Then my father started for the scene
Of operations He let his cigar 90
out naturally, but held it between
his fingers. He rode hither and yon,
giving orders and directions, still
with the cigar stump in his hand.
The result OF his exertions was that
Fort Donelson fell after he sent his
message of Unconditional surrender,
and i propose to move Immediately
upon your works. With the message
was sent all over the country the
news that Grant was smoking
throughout the battle, when he only
had carried this stump from Foote'S
flagship. But the cigars began to
come in from all over the Union. He
had IL, 900 cigars on hand in very
short time. He gave, away all he
could, but he was so surrounded with
cigars that he got to smoking them
regularly. But he never smoked as
much as he seemed to smoke. He
would light cigar after breakfast,
and let it go out, and then light ii
again, and then again let 1t 60 out
and light it; so that one cigar would
last until lunch time. Clure'a
