Grant and Washington.

One of the best friends that Gen.
Grant ever had, was Horace Porter.
Their first meeting was at Chatta-
nooga in the autumn OF 1863 and soon
after General (then Captain) Porter
became a member of Grants staff,
and served with him constantly un-
til Lees surrender When Grant be-
came President Horace Porter was
made his private secretary, and until
General Grant breathed his last at
Mt McGregor, the two men were
close friends. Nor did Gen. Portcr's
love for his chief cease with death,
for to him Is due the success of the
movement to raise the half million OF
dollars which the Grant monument
in Riverside Park will cost. The in
auguratiOn Of the tomb will take place
next spring, on General Grants birth.
day. and General Porter wilt be the
orator Of the occasion.
During these years OF intimacy
with Grant Gen. Porter kept diary
and In his moments of leisure he ha 8
arranged his unique stores af anec-
dote and memoranda into series of
twelve articles entitled: Campaign
ing with Grant" and the Century
Magazine has secured all rights In
the series, and will print it during
the coming year. Since the famous
Century War Series" for which Gen.
Grant himself wrote four articles
(the beginning OF his "Memolrs"), no
magazine has had such treat to lay
befo:e its readers.
