HE DIDN'T KNOW GRANT.
One of the Generals Officers Got =
Surprise That Was Somewhat
Startling.

When Grant was appointed briga-
der general and ordered to Cairo to
take command, Col. Oglesby was act
ing in that capacity. The latter had
received notice of the appointment
from the war department., and was
advised that the new general was on
his way south, relates the American
Tribune. A day or 50 after the
colonel was seated at his desk, busily
writing. In the room were several of
fcers chatting together in subdued
tones. The chief of staff entered and
announced the arrival of Grant. The
colonel nodded and went on writing;
evidently he had not understood the
officer. Presently man dressed in
plain soldiers blouse, SLOUGH hat in
hand, and nondescript trousers, saun-
tered in, remarkable for nothing I'M
less it was for a generous quantity
of dust on his clothes, stubby, red
dish beard, n keen gray eye, and a
half-consumed cigar clinched between

his teeth. Taking a survey of the
apartment and its occupants, he ap-
preached the colonel and said, in a
quiet voice:
"Will you let me have sheet of
paper?"
Help yourself my man." respond
ed the colonel, in a surprised and
somewhat indignant tone. as his pen
scratched on uninterruptedly; you'll
find one over there on the far side of
the table,
The stranger seated himself, unin-
vited, and, drawing the paper toward
him, wrote a few words, knocked the
ashes from his cigar. and coolly
passed the scrawl over to the colonel.
The surprise and indigna ton on
Oglesby's face deepened, but finally
gave way 20 astonishment when he
had mastered the words. They
proved to be an order relieving him
from his present duty, and ordering
him TO join his regiment over the
river. 1t was dated headquarters,
Cairo" and signed gu. S. Grant, Brig
adler General, commanding" etc. Col.
Oglesby rose and walked around the
table, never removing his eyes from
1t, and finally burst forth with: "Wen,
you are Grant? Why, thought you
were some ones orderly, and was
near ordering you out moment
age" Then turning, Gentlemen, our
chief, Brig. Gen. Grant"

the rear and would ride along with
the intercepting regiment to see the
work we'll done. Occasionally force
moving in this way could come upon a
group of foragers watching at cross
roads for the enemy.
Zone night a corporal came in late
and reported that he had left Sergt.
White five miles back, sick as a horse.
Without a word, another sergeant
who had just come over from head
quarters left the bivouac and was not
seen or heard of for two days. He
went back for his sick friend, helped
him forward just in time to prevent
his capture, and after numerous adj
ventures brought the sick man into
the zone of safety. He never said much
about how he saved his friend. 1t
was enough for the boys to know that
they saved him.
