Mrs. Grant and the Two Generals,


Vrey pleasant reading is that page
sot recent Century Magazine on which
General Porter relates how General
Sherman once cross-questioned Mrs
Grant in the presence of her husband,
who abetted him, and how the lady was
clever enough to get the better of this
formidable alliance The two generals
were about to hold a conference in
Grants headquarters, and Mrs. Grant,
VINO was present, suggested that per-
maps they did not wish her to overhear
all their secrets.
do you think we can trust her,
Grant?' asked General Sherman, with
assumed doubt
I'm not SO sure about that, Sher-
man." was the teasing reply. Public
documents, in disseminating items of
information, are accustomed to say,
Know all men by these presents l
think it would be just as effective to
say, Know one woman for then all
men would be certain to hear of it,
The general laughed, and then ad-
dressed the lady: "Now, Mrs. Grant,
let me examine you, and l can soon
tell whether you are likely to under
stand our plans we'll enough to betray
them to the enemy
VERY well,' she replied with spirit,
'<:Im ready for all your questions"
She was, indeed. Although Cen
eral Sherman folded his arms and
frowned upon her with the firecest
aspect of pedagogue while putting his
questions she was not to be confused.
She was thoroughly acquainted with
the topography of the region in which
the proposed movements of the army
were to be conducted, having made a
careful study of her husbands maps;
and she used her knowledge, reversed,
to prove the extent of her harmless
feminine ignorance-playing the part
she had set herself with delightful
drollery.
When asked the course of a river.
she would carefully locate it a thou
sand miles from it's native bed, and
make it flow upstream instead of down;
southern mountains she placed in re-
gions of the arctic zone, and she
tangled railroads and canals in a web
of hopeless confusion. It was not long
before General Sherman gave up the
examination, acknowledging merrily,
well, Grant, think we can trust
her!''

How Schley Saw The Enemy.

Mole St. Nicholas, Hayti, May
3O.-The following dispatch ha.
been received here from the cores
pendent of the Associated Press,
with the American fleet off Santiago
De Cuba:
"Of Santiago De Cuba, May 30.
Commodore Schley and the Flying
Squadron have the Spanish fleet
bottled up in the harbor of Santiago
De Cuba. By the most clever ma
neuvering the Commodore allowed
the Spaniards to think that he had
left in disgust, They took the bait
and ran into the harbor. Com
modore Schley moved down this
morning, and at o'clock, going
close to the harbor, he saw the
Cristobal Colon, the Maria Teresa
and two torpedo-boats.
Commodore Schley has acted
upon his own information and judg-
ment for the past six days, and
believes the whole Spanish fleet is
there.
"He sat on the after triangle of
the Brooklyn this morning until
after the discovery of the feet, and
he then went to breakfast, saying;
i have got them, and they will
never get home.
1.-The officers and men of the Fly
ing Squadron are jubilant over the
fact that the location of the Spanish
feet has finally been definitely
'"The temperature here is 10
degrees in the shade, and in the
steel turrets the heat is actually be
yond the power of Imagination.
1.-The American ships are the
Brooklyn, Texas, Massachusetts,
Iowa, Marblehead and Vixen, an
auxiliary torpedo gunboat."

Mr.. n. w. BAPTIST, of Coving
ton, visited Bolivar the first of the
week. He will be 4 candidate be
fore the democratic state conven
tion for Railroad Commissioner
from the Western District of Ten
nessee. On Tuesday, May 3rd., q
mass convention of the democracy
of Hardeman County endorsed Mr..
F.. l.. Bullock, of Jackson, for re
election to the position to which
Mr.. Baptist aspires. This action
was taken, however, prior TO the an.
nouncement of Mr.. Baptist. 1t is
not our intention to offer objection
TO Mr.. Bullock-he has made a very
efficient Commissioner; but we be.
lieve in standing by home men first,
other things being equal. 1t is true
that Mr.. Bullock is from a neigh
boring county, in fact he resides
nearer us than Mr.. Baptist, but he
is not so closely identified with our
people, politically speaking. Mr..
Baptist belongs in our Judicial,
Congressional and Pictorial Dis
tricts. He is well known and pop
ular throughout Hardeman, having
several times canyassed the county
in the interest of the democratic
party. The BULLETIN honestly be-
lieves, had he been a candidate at
the time our convention assembled,
Mr.. Bullock would not have been
endorsed for reelection. Suppose,
for instance, that one of our own
county men were to announce for
Railroad Commissioner, would our
delegates support Mr.. Bullock +?
This Is a matter, however, for the
delegates themselves to decide.

Second Tennessee.

Washington, May 29.-The Sec
ond Tennessee Regiment, Col. Kel,
lar Anderson, arrived late tonight
at Dun Loring, a railroad station
two miles from Camp Alger. The
train was side-tracked and the troops
will remain on board until morning,
owing to the late hour of arrival.
The men are in excellent spirits and
report having a fine trip North.
Theregulations at Camp Alger re-
quire all troops to be in camp at9:3O
and no man is allowed to enter camp
after that hour. When the train
arrived at Dun Loring a hard May
shower was in progress, but it soon
subsidized and the clouds disappear
ed. They were all glad that it was
too late to 90 to camp, as the ac-
commodations on the train were far
more inviting than the wet grounds.
Orders were received to-day from
corps headquarters assigning the
brigades of the Second Division,
which will include the Second Ten
nessee, as follows: l69 Indiana,
Twenty-second Kansas, Ninth Ohio,
Sixth Pennsylvania; Fortieth Mis-
souri,, Second Tennessee, Third
New York, Third Missouri and the
First Rhode Island. The Tennes-
see troops have been assigned to the
Third Brigade, Second Division,
and will be under command of Col.
