Col Grant. who was good judge Of horse
flesh, surveyed them a moment in silenca.
Summoning his adjutant, he said, Lead
that bay horse to my tent" Catlett's heart
sank as he saw his prize led away by the
order Of a superior officer.
AT Pittsburg Landing, the evening before
Shiloh, the two men met again. Catlett
who was now a captain under Sherman
was discussing the beginning of the war in
Missouri. General" ne said,' do you re-
member the horse you took at Monroe?'
Indeed I do Grant replied. IT never
rode a more intelligent animal. He had evi-
IDENTIFY seen service before he fell into my
hands. Poor fellow, he was shot under me
at Donelson."
You stole that horse from me- laughed
Catlett.
"Oh, WELL" returned Grant, with an in
dulgent smile, you stole him from some
other fellow. It is a way we have in war"
However, Grant was not lax in his con-
structton of the terms ''meum' and "tuum.'
The people through whose territory he
marched had rights that must be respected,
and his men knew better than to trifie with
their commanders orders on this point.

Upon my saying that there were some DIFF

The conversation here turned to the great

in America, and as to the earnest work done
by the priests, whereupon I asked: -
