GRANT AS A WRITER.

His style Was Vigorous and Tcrse, with
Little Ornament.
General Horace Porter in Champaign,
ing With Grant" in The Century ex-
presses the following opinion of Grant
a. writer: His powers Of concentra-
ton Of thought were often shown by
the circumstances under which he
wrote. Nothing that went ON around
him, upon the field or in his quarters,
could distract his attention or interrupt
him. Sometimes, when his tent was
filled with officers talking and laughing
at the top Of their voices, he would
turn to his table and write the most
important communications. There
would then be an immediate "HushP'
and abundant excuses offered by the
company, but he always insisted upon
the conversation going on, and after
awhile his officers came to understand
his wishes in this respect, to learn that
noise was apparently a stimulus rather
than check to his fow Of ideas, and
TO realize that nothing short of a gem
eral attack along the whole line could
divert his thoughts from the subject
upon which his mind was concentrated.
In writing his style was vigorous and
terse, with little Of ornament. Its most
conspicuous characteristic was perspi-
Guilty. General Meade's chief Of staff
once said, There Is one striking feature
about Grants orders-no matter how
hurriedly he may write them on the
field, no one ever has the slightest
dOubt a. TO their meaning or ever has
TO read them over q second time to I'M
derstand them" The general used An
glo.Saxon words much more frequently
than those derived from the Greek and
Latin tongues. He had studied French
at West Point and picked up some
knowledge Of Spanish during the Mexi-
can war, but he could not hold con-
versation in either language, and rarely
employed foreign word in any of his
writings His adjectives were few and
we'll chosen. No document which ever
came from his hands was in the least
degree pretentious. He never laid claim
to any knowledge he did not possess and
seemed to feel, with Addison, that "ped-
antry in learning 10 like hypocrisy in
religion-a form Of knowledge without
the power Of it.
He rarely INDUCED in metaphor, bu,
when he did employ figure of speech
1t was always expressive and graphic,
as when he spoke of the commander at
Bermuda Hundred being Sin bottle
strongly corked" or referred to our ar
mics at one time as moving like horses
in balky team, no two ever pulling
together. His style inclined to the cpl
grsmmatis without his being aware Of
It, There was scarcely document writ
ten by him from which brief sentences
could not be selected fit to be set in
mottos or placed upon transparencies.

A NEW ENTERPRISE FOR BIRMING
 HAM

The Detroit Cider and Vinegar com- pany have completed their mammoth plant and are now ready for operation. It is located at North Birmingham, and has both the Southern and Louisville and Nashville railroads in it's yards. It is the largest cider and vinegar plant south of Louisville, and is the only one that is equipped for distilling and refining ci- der and vinegar.
 They have a capacity sufficient to use all the grapes that the vineyards of Fort Payne. Cullman and other points around this section will produce. They will also bring fruit juices down from the northern states to be refined here.
 Owing to the sizes of their mills, presses and pumps, they have found it necessary to put in steam plant of over 1o0-horse- power capacity, and will manufacture at the start about 100 barrels per day. This output will be increased as the demand justifies.
 In the future it will not be necessary for our merchants to go north for their elders and vinegar, but "patronize home industry" and help to build up local concern
 Every barrel of cider and vinegar sold by the Detroit Cider and Vinegar com panv will have a positive guarantee that their goods are first-class, pure and un- adulterated and do not contain any acids or cn6mCalS. rms company not only manufacture their own cooperage. but will be in a position to supply the southern states with all kinds of tight barrels and kegs.
 ThS timber used in their cooperage plant for slaves and heading will be bought in this vicinity. This will furnish a market for a class of timber that has heretofore been unstable, giving a large number of laborers work and also buy ing timber from timber men and farmers thus putting a large amount of money in circulation here. instead of sending 1t west as we have done in the past.
 This company expects to employ not less than 100 regular hands, who will be paid in cash every Saturday night.
 We see no reason why this industry should not succeed, as the Birmingham district has long been in need of plant of this kind, and we believe this com pany will have noreason to regret having located their plant here.
 Mir J. W. Hardesty. formerly of ffont- gomery, Ala, is at the head of this en- terprise. He is a practical and experi- enced man in this line of business. and will use his best efforts to give the trade satisfaction. e5.t.a.f
