In the meantime one of the younger
officers had become ashamed of the in
civility and gave Grant his chair. Grant
quietly rose and went inside the house

In getting a negro TO bring him some

to the piazza he found that some one
had taken his seat and no other was

Cussed with Pemberton the most neces-
sary things connected with the compile
tion of the surrender, even while Penn
berton was asking him for $4,000 ra-

Grant was astonished at the largeness
of this number, because he had not ex-
pected the force which had been con-
fronting him TO be much over half as
strong.

as rarely occurs in history between
great naval and army commanders who

over year since thoughts on both
sides had been turned toward Vicks-
burg as supreme point. The Confcd-
crates had begun fortifying it immed-
lately after the fall of New Orleans,
and the navy had tried TO drive them
away. Since that time the months had
been crowded with anxiety, with des-
perate possibilities, with incessant ef-
fort, with discouraging reverses. with
health h-breaking. body-racking toll in
the swamps and lowlands, with strug-
giles against the mighty tide OF the

man paused for a more careful recon-

ston was preparing for him. He found
that the works which had been carried

fering any opportunity for successful
assault. 1t looked very much as IL the
army were up against another fortress
like Vicksburg. Gen. Sherman formed
his counter-line about 800 yards from
the enemy's works and began regular

A French family has recently had its
fortunes restored in n way TO suggest
story telling. The family was wretch
edly poor, selling one possession after
another in order to meet the demands
of the butcher and grocer. One day the
mother in moving an old desk Of her
great at-grandfather came upon an old
book, between the pages Of which
was a stamp Of the Island of Maurice
OF 1S47.
A traveller stopping to rest in the
cottage one day saw this stamp, which
boy was sticking to a homemade en-
velope, playing ''postotiicc" with lit
tie friend. This traveller ( man of
wealth and collector of curios) saw
that it was very rare. In truth there
were but two others in existence, one
belonging TO the King Of England and
one to the Car Of Russia. He told
the family of their treasure, and it was
through his interest and exertions that
the stamp was subsequently sold fol
