GRANTS MIDNIGHT RIDE.
The Generals Aversion to Turning
Back Almost a Superstition.

| At III o'clock word came 70 Grant and Meade
| that their headq quarters, escorts and wagons
were delaying the advance of Warren's corps,
and they decided to move on TO Todd's tavern
in order to clear the way. The woods were
still on tire along parts Of the main road
which made IL almost impossible. 80 that the
party turned out to the right into a siee road
Tho intention was TO take the same route by
which the cavalry had advanced, but IL was
difficult 20 tell one road from another.
The night was dark, the dust was thick, the
guide who was directing the party became
confused, and IL was uncertain whether we
were going in the right direction or riding In.
TO the lines of the enemy. Tie guide was for
time suspected of treachory, but he was
innocent'of such charge, and had only lost
his bearings. Colonel Comstock rode On in
advance, and hearing the sound Of marching
columns not far off on our right. came back
with this news, and il was decided TO return
to the Brock road.
General Grant at first demurred when IL was
proposed to turn back, and urged the guide to
try and find some oss-road leading TO tho
Brock road, to avoid retracing our steps This
was an instance of his marked aversion TO
turning back, which amounted almost to "A
superstition. He often put himself TO the
greatest personal inconvenience to avoid it,
When he found he was not travelling in the di.
rection he intended TO take, nc would try all
sorts OF cross cuts, ford streams and Jump
any number of fences TO reach another road
rather than 20 back and take "a fresh start. II
he had been in the place OF the fsmous ap-
prentice boy who wandered away from Lon
don, be would never have been thrice Mayor
OF that city, for with him Bow Bells would
have appealed TO deaf ears when they chimed
out, ''Turn again, Wilmington" The enemy
who encountered him never failed 10 feel the
effect of his Unborn prejudice against turning
back.
However, a slight rctrograde movement be-
camo absolutely necessary in the present in
stance, and the general yielded TO the force OF
circumstances. An orderly was stationed at
the fork Of the roads to indicate the right di-
rection to Warrens troors when they should
reach that point. and our party proceeded TO
Todd's tavern, reaching there soon after mid
night. 1t was learned afterward hat Ander-
sons CLongstreet's) corps had been marching
parallel with us, AMI at distance OF less |
than mile, so that the npprehe nson was |
well founded Campaigning With Grant"

Murderous Biudgeon-men In the
Streets of fConstantInople.

such men as the bludgeon- men one
does not often ses in the streets of Con-
tantinople. OF the better class OF Turks
there were none among them. They were
of a class like the wharf rats and long
shoremen OF Western lands. They were
of ell shades Of color, from the white
skinned Lag and Circassian to the trown
and hook-nos,d Kourd and the coal black
Nubian from Africa. lheir faces were
a study OF fearful passions. There were
faces scanned and SCARED like the head of
a fighting bulldog; faces distorted by
malice and greed; faces scared, as by fire,
case-hardened in ignorance OF all except
vice, and feroclous as an angry tiger.
Some Of thcss faces burnt their way into
my memory and remained for days
haunting revelation of brutal instincts
and besstly desires which made ore W won-
der how it was possible 10 have lived in
safety fer weeks 10 a city containing such
men.
These men were not armed in the
common sense of The word. Some If
them had revolvers, and the most OF them
had knives. But they seldom used either;
for awkward questions might | e riised IL
the police were called TO account for
failing to arrest armed civilians on the
streets. Carrying uxe-helyes, pick-axe
handles. heavy clubs like base ball bats.
jagged fragments Of broken scautiing;
carrying anything that can crush the
skull of man, this horrible rsbble flooded
the streets OF all Christian quarters of
the city, like an all-desolating tidal
wave, silent but irresistible. Their silence
by day was almost as terrible as their
howls by night. They would ne seen
going along the street, when they would
meet an Armenian who had veutured TO
attempt to reach his home. Without a
word they would break In his skull and

hardly having spoken a loud word. III

their fellows would come running from

wounded is likely to spread CONSERVATION
among tho Spanish troops. much as the
"march" Of JoscELIN DE COURTNEY did
among the Ssracens. The Spanish legend
that NO bullet can kill MAoEo sprinss
from Spanish authority. The Cuban
chieftsin has slrsaoy survived twelve
or fifteen wounds, and it is
not improbable that the latest two
or three Jumps OF lead shot into him may
also have been survived. For unreliable
romsncing the Cubsns can quite equal tho
Spaniards but the story that MAcEo is
alive sltbough lacking confirmation is far
from improbable. AT any rate 1t is cal
culated to disconcert the Spanish
authorities who have laid so much store
by his death. MAcEo, dead, was still q
force for Cuban Iiterty. MAoEo in hos
pitaI is a decidedly vital force. IL he
really is alive he Spaniards must work
quickly to crush the Cubin cause for IL
the Cuban chief ever gets out OF ted again
the last hops of Spanish control will be
gone, II it is not already dead.

The Mexicans object to football as

II is related that when JoscRLIN DE
