would be no trouble. Grant did not say

The inattention of Gen. Grant to recon-

preconceived ideas; but 1t was rather
wholesome. A tremendous lot of things
were said. l remember myself to have
said great deal, not in the line Of sup
porting the administration. but I could
not hatter myself that Grant cared, any
more than he could understand what was
the matter with me. because I had never
asked for anything, and so could not be
counted in that sense as disappointed; and
there were no hard feelings.

Though he wore a muddy coat, he was a

raised on the Rapidaa before Grant moved
against Lee. whether the better way to
take Richmond would be to ship the army
to the navigable water nearest that city,
but Grant did not care foroRichmond. say

in one Of the most attractive and best con-
structed buildings in town, and we had
business northwest of Chicago ], R, Grant
was the sole owner of the business, and
was worth at that time from 100000 to
S75, 600 We were all employed upon stipu-
lated salaries, which we're about equal and
were entirely sufficient to enable US to
live comfortably in very good houses. We
were not so much interested in the salaries,
however. as In the success of the busi-
ness, which promised partnership In due
time. The partnership was realized by
Orville and me year later under the firm
name of Grant & Burke, and had 1t not
been for the Intervention of the civil war
Ulysses would have been one of his fathers
business partners had he so desired.
1t has been frequently stated that Grant
occupied an inferior position in the Galena
store at a salary that did not enable him
to live comfortably and pay his debts.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
His relation to the business was precisely
the same as that of his brothers, and, like
them, he lived well, and met his obligations
promptly. Old business men know that
medium low salary on the present salary
basis would have been considered good pay
before the war. The captains work at the
store was of a general nature He waited
on customers, filled orders, packed goods
and weighed in hides Din which we dealt
largely, just as we all did. He also occa-
slonally drove out to visit country custom
ers. During the winter of 1860 and 1851 the
rate of New York exchange at Galena was
Sometimes as high as Is per cent, on ac-
count of the general distrust of western
and southern banks. To avoid such
charge against our eastern remittances, we
bought pork ONT Galena market, which
we shipped to Cincinnati where New York
exchange sold at 1 per cent on account of
the high standing of the Ohio banks. To
Capt. Grant was assigned the duty of buy
ing most of the pork, which work he great
ly preferred to ordinary work in the store.
He was in fact, the favored one about the
store, being less acquainted with the goods
ard customers than the others. He had

Dedication of GRANT. Touh

In view of the general public interest in
the approaching Grant memorial services,
Mr.. Archibald Hopkins, clerk of the Court
OF Claims. has written the following poem
A copy of 1t was sent to Mrs. Grant, who,
with other members Of the family ex-
pressed her appreciation of the tribute to
the memory of Gen. Grant:
Let us finish his tomb midst the marching of

As cool and unmoved though not born to die

In their martial refrain thrObs the heart of the
Nation:
1t stirred him, and steeled him to breast the
fierce strife.
Through carnage most bloody, through losses ap-
palling,
Undaunted, unhinching, he pressed to the goal;
Reset the great arch of the Union, just falling,
And gave the black chattel Of bondage a soul.
When the struggle over, and Lee at last

No arms were laid down, and no triumph was

HORSES ON SNOW SHOES.
Rubber-COated Steel Plates That En-

From the San Francisco Call.
All the horses working at the placer
mine under the shadow of Pilot Peak. Plu-
mas county, Cal. wear snowshoes The al
utude of the place is about $500 feet. and
enormous quantities of snow fall there in
the winter, not infreql emily reaching to
the depth Of twenty feet
ITO overcome the disadvantages of the
snow and enable us to carry on our projects
there" said Mr.. Bowman, one of the own
ers of the mine, I'VE put snow shoes on
the horses. By doing this we are able
to get in our supplies of groceries, meats
canned goods and other things. and to
transport the product of our mines All
our picks, shovels. giant powder and SINH

in winter are handled in this way.
only California bred horses are used. 1t
has been found these are the best, and, If
possible, we get mountain horses, those
that are raised at high attitudes. The
horses go right along in the snow. They
usually take fast walk, but sometimes
they trot little.
'They get so accustomed to the snow
shoes that they don't stumble or fall at ali
and they Ike them SO well that they don't
like to walk without them. They will put
up their feet to have the snow shoes put
on.
I'VE used wooden shoes at first and they
worked very well, but now we have some

ened by steel spring to the lower part Of
the hoof, and there is a nut on 1t SO it
can re screwed on tight with q wrench.
On the bottom of this steel plate is q
coating of India rubber, and this, by the
way. is great improvement in horse
snow shoes. 1t keeps the shoe free entirely
OF snow, whereas formerly snow used to
clog and fill up on the plate This would
cause the horse to slip and founder around,
Even when the horses are fitted oft with
snow shoes for the first time they rarely
ever fall. though. of course, they are usual
ly steadied little till they get the hang

nervous horses. We don't want a horse
that's too high-spirited. We rather prefer
those that are quiet and not easily per
