uTrinla Deckersn to the Front I

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Out in
Iowa, last Fall, ran upon a comrade whose
family" record beats any thing 1 have yet
seen. Here it is:
His grandfather, Daniel Hoskins, enlisted
first in the lst Tor 2d) Wis. Cav; subse-
quently, he enlisted in Co. F, 41st Wis.
His son Amasa was Lieutenant in Co. Ii,
9th Wis. was Adjutant of that regiment
later, and afterward was Captain of Co. III,
10Th Wis.
J. nj. Hoskins, son Of Amasa and grand
son of Daniel, is the triple decker" in
question. He was Sergeant in Co. f, 41st
Wis, and later in Co. Ii, 10th Wis. Thus
there was at one time, in the 41st Wis, the
grandfather, father, and son. This venera-
bic patriot had another grandson in the
same regiment. He died at Memphis.
J. NJ Hoskins, our triple decker" COM
rade, is deservedly an Honorable" among
Iowa Republicans and editors. He owns
one of the handsOmest houses in Sioux
Rapids, Iowa, and has splendid family i'll

"Fourscore and seven years ago our IA
theirs brought forth upon this continent a
new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedi-
Gated to the proposition that all men are
created free and equal. Now we are en-
gagged in a great civil war, testing whether
that nation, or any nation so conceived and
dedicated, can long endure. We are met on
great battlefield of that war. We have
come to dedicate a portion of that field as q
final resting-place for those who here gave
their lives that that nation might live. 1t
is altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this. But in larger sense we
cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, We
cannot hallow, this ground. The brave
men. living and dead, who struggled here,
have consecrated it far above our power to
add or detract. The world will little note,
nor long remember, what we say here, but
it can never forget what they did here. 1t
is for US, the living, rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which they
who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. 1t is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining before
us, that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for which
they gave the last full measure of devotion;
that we here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain. that this nation,
under God, shall have new birth of fgee-
dom, and that the government of the people,
by the people, and for the people, shall not
perish from the earth."-EDIToR NATIONAL

Grant In Washington.
THE Ccntury.l

If there was any doubt as 10 the popularity
of Grant in Washington, and he was disposed
to regard that city as place Of snares, the
arrival of the newly-created Lieutenant
General effectualIy dissipated it. He had
been called to the Capital, and had arrived
there late in the afternoon of March 8, 1864.
That evening, as it CHANGED, was the occa-
sion Of the usual weekly reception at the
White House, and tbither Gen. Grant went
by special invitation. Thither, too, went
throngs of people when it was known that
he would be on view with the President
So great was the crowd, and so wild the
rush to get near the General, that he was
obliged at last to mount sofa where he
could be seen, and where he was secure, at
least for a time, from the madness of the
multitude. Women were caught up and
whirled in the torrent which swept through
the great East Room. Ladies suffered dire
disaster in the crush and confusion; their
laces were torn and crinolines mashed and
people got upon sofas, chairs and tables to
be out of harms way, or to get better view
of the spectacle.
1t was the only real mob ever saw in the
White House. 1t was an indescribable scene
of curiosity, joy and pleasure. For once at
least the President of the United States was
not the chief figure in the picture. The lit
tie, scared-looking man who stood on GRIM
son-coyered sofa was the idol of the hour.
He remained on view for short time; then
he was quietly smuggled out by friendly
hands, and next day he departed from the
city, which he then appeared to dread so
much, to begin the last and mightiest chap
ter in his military career.

"ME AND GRANT"
Two Cronies Who Played ssven-up for Fried
Liver,

The following quoted from q st. Louis
paper, presents the soldiers hero in an I'M
familiar light and is clever, if not authentic:
"The old Gravois road log house, which
was condemned few days ago, has an in
teresting history. We used to have Jolly
times there said Henry Luft, sr Gen.
Grant often joined us. Grant had come to
st. Louis County to live in 1854. He had
previously married Miss Julia Dent aud
resigned from the army. When he resigned
ho had 4 small farm about II miles out the
Gravois road. After he moved out there he
made regular trips into town with loads of
cord-wood. He had little tumble-down
wagon, pulled by pair of oxen, and he
dressed like typical farmer. Many time
l remember seeing him come into my shop
with slouch hat high top-boots, reddish
brown jeans pants, and hickory shirt. He
wore whiskers them a stubby, brownish
beard growing all over his face. Whenever
he needed coffee or sugar out on his place,
he would bring enough wood in to sell for
sufficient to purchase these commodities.
Often he would not be able to sell tho wood,
and he would leave it in my yard over night,
aud then sell both loads next time he came
in. Grant was always very jolly fellow,
always making jokes. But never thought
he'd be such great General, though. No
body who ever saw the farmer get Off his
wagon and water his oxen at the old pump
in front of the Halfway House would ever
have imagined that he would one day be
President of the United States. Oh, me and
Grant was great friendsl Many time he
came into my butcher shop and stopped
there for hours, playing seven-up with me.
| would never gamble, that is. play for
money, so me and Grant would play for
fried liver Grant was sharp man and
pretty good player; but, if do say it my
self, ! was pretty good player, too, and me
and Grant played many a close game. Some
times we would play euchre, but mostly
seven-up. 1 never saw Grant after the war
broke out. / know once he came to the
Lindell Hotel after he was great General.
When he did, old Casper Gogel ths wagon
maker, who had q shop near my place, went
to him at the hotel with biil-S4. 30,
think-for fixing his wagon before the war,
which little bill Grant had forgotten to pay.
When Casper went up to Grants parlor, he
paid the bill and said to Gogel: Why
didn't you bring Henry Luft along?' You
see, he still remembered the old man he
used to play seyen-up for fried liver with?"

A Story of Diamond Earrings.
Fort DDdpc Iowa) POST

A nearby exchange tells of man who
mortgaged his farm to buy his wife a pair
of diamond earrings. The wife took in
washing to payinterest on the mortgage, but
on the first job lost one OF the sparks" in
the suds, whereupon she tried to hang her
self in the barn, but the rope broke and she
fell on Jersey COW, worth $3.50 and broke
its back. Her husband then undertook to
shoot the COW, to put it out OF its misery,
but the gun burst and destroyed both his
eyes, and the wife then ran away with a
lightning-rod peddler. The mortgage is still

deep scratches, and gaping wounds where the sharp teeth of the cats had torn into the quivering flesh. As he fought his way backward, almost ex- hausted and ready to give up, his eye fell upon narrow strip of discarded steel lying between the ties. With an effort he secured this, and grasping it with both hands, struck with the ener- gy of despair when the next rush was made. The male, which seems to have fared worse than hismate, received the blow full above the eyes, crushing the skull and causing instant death. With a eonvulsive quiveF of the body, the brute rolled down the embankment and lodged among the elder.
 The man could carry the combat no further He was exhausted from the loss of blood, worn out with the unusual eXertion, and blinded by the crimson stream from wounded forehead. Ly- ing prone upon the ties he gave himself up to his fate, feeling that death could not be far distant.g The mad beast be- gan tearing at his flesh, and attempted to fasten her teeth into his throat, which he but Intellectually shielded with his arms. Resistance was no longer possible. Then he lost consciousness. A few minutes later the section hands came along on their handcar, going to their daily labor, and as they ap- preached they saw the crouching, bloody form of the frightened cat sneaking off into the canebreak's i'm penetrabIe haunts. They found Jones unconscious, totally divested of cloth ing, mangled and covered with blood A hurried examination showed that he was not dead, and, picking him up ten derly, he was placed on the handcar and taken back to Cicalla, where kind hands dressed his wounds and covered his body with proper clothing. A short time after the morning train from Memphis came along, and he was placed aboard and taken to Forrest City, where he could have medical at tention There he began to improve and from the physician in charge of his case I learned his story.
 "The last I heard from Jones he had been taken to the railway hospital al St. Louis, where he was on a fair road to recovery. The physician told me that his left arm would be disabled for life, and that he would always bean many deep scars as the evidence of that terrible struggle with a pair of cata- mounts in the swamps of St. Francis '

and as the lithsome form of the animal
 shot through the air, straight, the man
 stepped agilely aside, and his assailant
 passed by him and landed in the reedy
 depths of the marsh at the foot of the
 embankment. Almost at the same in
 stant, weight descended upon his
 back, razor-like claws were thrust
 through his clothing and into his flesh,
 and on his cheek and neck, he felt the
 hot breath of the other cat.
 "Now began the battle for life, His
 club was useless. He tried to shake off
 the brute, but his efforts were of no
 avail. The harder he shook, the closer
 stuck the enemy. Despite his every
 endeavor, the cat succeeded in fasten- ing it's teeth in the muscles of his left arm, rendering it useless Fortunately, his right was free. Dropping his club,
 he reached into his pocket and secured the small single-bladed knife and opened it with his teeth. The cat still had it's fangs set in his arm. Jones made desperate plunge, and, although the blow was necessarily an awkward one, 1t struck home. With a moan of pain the beast relaxed it's hold and fell while the blood, streaming from one of its eyes, showed where the blade had entered Thus relieved, Jones sprang
 back and picked up his club. He was already becoming weak from the fierce struggle The blood from his lacerated arm stained his tattered clothing. By this time the cat which had taken a header down the embankment had re- Jor,J who had lost an eye in the conflict. Unabashed by their monentary repulse, they crouched close to the rails an in stant and scanned their would-be prey with malignant fury. Jones awaited their onset. His heavy club was poised for desperate stroke, which he deliv- cred with all his force as the two sprang forward His blow was we'll timed, and one of the cats received its full force on the shoulders, sending it whirlng through the air as from a catapult. Unfortunately however. the blow was delivered with such energy that the club flew from his hands, and, losing his foothold, he fell heavily for- | ward across the ties, with the female l cat clinging to his back. He was slightly stunned by the fall, but still did not lose his presence of mind. With a superhuman effort he regained his feet and threw off the brute, but before he could cover the vantage thus gained both were upon him with undiminished | ferocity. Desperately he struggled with the blood-maddened brutes, slash | ing with his poor little knife, which only seryed to infuriate them the more As often as they might be repulsed they renewed the attack. By this time his clothing was literally stripped from 1 his body and his arms, chest, head and | legs were covered with bruises, long,

It was intlmated that the company intended to retire from the, plug tobacco busi- ness, but the ramor could not be com flrmed, A drive was made at Sugar shortly after the opening and the stock broke 21s to 110, No valid reason could be obtained for the break in the stock, though 1t was suspected that the movement was engineered for the purpose of facilitating covering of shorts In Tobacco.

Reports were current that the presi- dents of the companies intended hold | ing an important conference next week when the question of adjusting the difficulties in the trade will be taken with view of putting an end to them. At the same time according to reports the matter of rates will receive serious consideration. Nothing of an official character could be learned about the matter and in the late trading New | Jersey Central ran off to 106k, with a subsequent rally to 1071s, Reading and Delaware and Hudson, however, ruled strong throughout. .. | The grangers were in demand on the splendid outlook for the crops. Rock Island rose to S1, Burlington and Quincy to 9O%, ex-dividend, St. Paul to 72 and Eastern Illinois preferred to 103% and Omaha to 41%. The largest buyers of these stocks were firms usually employ ed by insiders. Near,y S3,000000 of gold was taken from the sub-treasury for export to Europe tomorrow.

On either side, the knotted roots of it's parasite-clothed cyprus, laved by the Father of Waters on the east and the verdant hills of Forrest City rising above its miasmatic depths on the west, the sunken lands stretch for many monotonous leagues, with not a single human habitation to break the solitude, except here and there an isolated section-hous or a post-office, which establishes connec- ton with the outside world and the se- questered citizens.
