Typical of Grant.

A story is tcld of General Grant
which is illustrative of his tender and
gentle nature. On the day of a great
review he turned, with eyes dim with
tears, from the sight of his old troops,
saying: 81 don't believe l can stand
it. I don't believe 1 can stand itl' In
the same spirit is the following souve-
mir from IA Child's Recollections of
Grant " in Current Literature:
The parade of the Grand Army which
was part of the Centennial celebration
was an occasion of wild excitement to
us. We were not far from the balcony
where General Grant reviewed the
troops, and therefore saw all that could
be een-a seemingly endless process
sion OF soldiers, cannon and brass bands.
And how the people cheeredl But
it puzzled us why the cheers were
loudest and longest for the most for
lorn, stained and tattered old flags un-
til we understood that the flags, too,
were veterans.
By and by the great show was over
and General Grant was going away,
He did not seem al ell gay. | wonder
ed why.
"Didn't you enjoy it? Wasn't it
nice to see all your old soldiers there
againP' l asked.
"But they were not all there" he
answered gravely.
realized what it had meant to him
to review his old army. Those latter.
ed flags had been carried by men who
went to death at his command. Those
dark stains had been the red lifeblood
of men who died obeying him. To 9TH
ers it had been q day of jubilee, while
his great heart had ached as he thought
of the price of his victories.

Sheridan In Battle.

General Horace Porter, in his +" Cam
paigning with Grant" in the October
Century, says of Sheridan at Appomat-
tox: No one could look at Sheridan at
such q moment without a sentiment of
undisguised admiration. In this CAM
paign, as others, he had shown himself
possessed of military traits of the high
est order. Bold in conception, self
reliant, demonstrating by his acts that
"much danger makes great hearts most
resolute," fertile in resources, combiL-
ing the restlessness of a Hotspur with
the patience of a Fabius, it is no Won
der that he should have been looked
upon as the wizard OF the battle. field.
Generous of his life, gifted with the
ingenuity of a Hannibal, the dash of q
Murat, the courage of a Ney, the mag
netism of his presence reused his troops
to deeds of individual heroism, and his
unconquerable columns rushed to VIC
tory with all the confidence of Caesars
Tenth Legion. Wherever blows fell
thickest, there was his crest. Despite
the valor OF the defence, opposing
ranks went down before the ~fierceness
of his onsets, never to rise again; and
he would not pause till the folds of his
banner waved above the strongholds
he had wrested from the foe. Brave
Sheridanl l can almost see him now;
his silent clay again quickened into life,
once more riding "Rienzi" through a
fire of he'll, leaping opposing earth
works at a single bound, and leaving
nothing of those who barred his way
except the fragments scattered in his
path. AS long as manly courage il
talked of, or heroic deeds are honored,
the hearts of a grateful people will beat
responsive to the mention of the tails
I manic name of Sheridan.
