General Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning with Grant" In the July
Century, relates the following anee.
dote.
General Ingalls, had Just returned
from trip 10 Washington and brought
with him an English spotted coach dog
which followed him everywhere
through camp. and attracted no end Of
attention. A dog OF any kind was
rather an unusual sight In an army
In the field. and an animal Of the ne
culiar marks and arlstocratlo bearing
OF ingalls, companion excited wide
spread remark. Every time the dog
came 10 headquarters General Grant
was certain to comment upon the ami
mai and perDetrate some g0od-natured
Joke at the expense OF his classmate.
The dog followed the usual canine Gus
tom and expressed his feelings By an
agitation OF his caudal appendaEs. To
describe his actions automatically. II
may be said that he indicated anger By
imparting to his tail a series Of lonEi-
tudinal vibrations. and pleasure By Civ
ing 1t a gentle motion IN azlmuth"-
familiarly known a. a wag.
One evening. az the general was sit
ting In front Of his quarters, Ingalls,
came W to have a chat with him, and
was followed BY the dog. which sat
down In the usual place at liz masters
feet. The animal squatted upon lts
hind quarters. licked it, chops. prlcked
up lie cans and looked frst At one Of
hoer and then At the other. az II TO
say: Il am General ingalls, dog: whose
pup are your"
In the course Of his remarks General
Grant took a long look At the animal
and said:
We'll. ingalls,, what are your real To-
tentions 10 regard to that dogf DO
you expect TO take II into Richmond
with your"
Ingalls,. who was noted for his dry
humor. replied with mock seriousness
and an air Of extreme potience:
Il hope 10; Il lie said 10 come from q
long-lived breed"
This rotort. coupled with the eomieal
attitude Of the dog Al the time. turned
the laugh upon the general. who Joined
heartily In the merriment and seemed
TO enjoy the joke az much as any Of
the party.
