HANCOCK AND GRANT.
Relations Between the Two Soldiers
Was Always OF the Closest
Friendship.

Adam Badeau gives the following
Interesting account in the Chicago
Tribune of the relations of these two
great soldiers
Hancock and Grant were at West
Point together They were good
friends there, and Hancock used to
call his future chief by the familiar
nickname of Sam Grant" Long af-
terward during the Wilderness cam
paign-it was the day after the great
attack at Spottsylvania, when Han
cock reported @I have finished up
johnson and am now going into
early" Grant nominated Hancock for
brigadier general in the regular army.
Hancock remembered the old relation
ship of cadet times, and said to the
brother-in-law of the general-in-c chief,
who told him the news: 81 love Sam
Grant"
The regard was mutual. At one
moment in the battle of the Wilder
ness things looked very dark; Warren
was driven back to the center. and
rush of stragglers came hurrying in
towards Grants headquarters with
news that Hancock was routed. Grant
was seated on the ground whiting
stick; he simply turned his stick
around and whitfield the other end.
and when it was again reported that
Hancock had been driven he said,
grimly: 81 don't believe it, In a
few moments word came directly con-
trary to the early rumor. Instead of
retreating Hancock had pushed the
enemy. Then Grant looked up and
said with as much enthusiasm as 1
ever knew him to betray: "Hancock's
a glorious soldier
He never changed this opinion Han
cock was always given the advance
or exposed position. He bore the brunt
of the battle of the Wilderness; he
made three terrible assaults at Spots
ylvania; he led the march to the
North Anna; he was in the thickest of
the fighting at Cold Harbor; his
troops were the first of the army of
the Potomac to come up before Peters
burg; and in the subsequent move
ments on both sides of the James, at
Deep Bottom. and at the explosion at
Burnside's mine, always, until the
opening of an old wound compelled
him to leave the field, Hancock was
given the command which required the
most superb daring, the clearest head,
the most sustained military ability.
More than once l heard Gen. Grant
say that if Meade were removed he
should give the command of the Army
of the Potomac to Hancock

DISHINC UP MUD.
Trying Experience of Soldier Which
He Turned Into an Anus
ing Joke.

1t was the 9th day of April, 1862
Our regiment, the First U. S. S. S.
were marching up toward Yorktown
and getting pretty near to the works
of the enemy, they commenced firing
shot and shell, says a correspondent
of the American Tribune. AS they
flew high we noticed that their aim
was at a collection of officers in our
rear, supposed to be Gen. Porter and
staff, but soon our batteries got into
position-think it was Grifiths and
Mott'S-and shot and shell howled in
every direction. Our skirmish line was
in the road, near a mud hole, and one
of our boys, already with his Yankee
wit, discovered a spur and strap stick
ing in the mud, and stopped to get the
treasure, saying, Il guess"-but that
was all of that sentence, as a shell
struck in that mud hole and plastered
him from head to foot, besides filling
mouth, eyes and ears AS soon as
John k could spit out the mud
and get breath. he cody remarked, Il
wish they would fill their cursed shells
with oysters; l could relish them bet
ter" We were quite hungry at that
time. Cannot say that 1 should like
to take oysters in that shape. But as
my mind wanders back to that scene,
l cannot but laugh over the memory
of that incident, as l did at the time

A SOLDIERS EXPERIENCE.
A Kicking Gun That Was Better in
the Hands of the Enemy-Bury-
ing the Dead.

My first gun was a Harper's Ferry
musket, altered over, and it would
kick worse than a mule, says Comrade
C. e. Smith, in telling of his expert
ences in the American Tribune. II
kicked me on the head, in the face, in
the eye and ON the shoulder, and all al
one discharge The last time fired il
it kicked itself out of my hands onto
the ground. and there it lay kicking
when the captain put his foot upon il
and made it stop. The right way tc
fight with that gun was to send it to
the Johnnies, and there would have
been succession of discouraged sol
diers on that side-if not dead ones.
There was one thing certain, with that
gun to carry any soldier would be
ready to sing:
Come. welcome death, thou end of kick
ing,
I am ready and willing to CO."
My next gun-the next day-was a
Springfield rihe-a dandy.
In chasing Gen. Price we made
march of 100 miles in three days, with
only nine large-sized hard tack for ra-
lions. In this march the boys beat
the oldish men, OF our company of sc
men, but IA were there to stack arms
at the end of three days-of these II
were under 81, three under Is, and
three under IT years of age, and 1 was
one of the last three.
After all our hard marching Price
was not there when we arrived-he
had been gone six hours. We were
six days in marching back over the
same ground.
We arrived at Shiloh in time for me
to be detailed to help bury the dead.
That is duty in connection with
army work seldom described. The
mind dislikes to dwell upon it, The
killing of the man is an exciting work.
There is some excitement even in be-
ing in line with shot and bullets-in
seeing who gets hit-in feeling that
you are yet whole-but there is no re-
deeming feature in going out to the
field of the dead and gathering the
men like sheaves in a harvest field and
arranging them in trench and cover
ing them with earth. There is no
other form of death SO sickening as
that of well and hearty man killed
by the accidents of battle.
Hour after hour we worked on at
burying the Shiloh dead. wish 1 could
shut out the memory of that labor
from my mental vision forever.
At Pennington 1 was again detailed
to bury the dead, and there helped to
bury 700 as fine-looking soldiers as
man ever saw. Here ended my service
in this direction, as I soon after joined
the cavalry and was put upon a rev
line of duty.

writers to go straight into system
of personal vilification, manufac-
turing any sort of falsehood
through which to vent their spleen.
We assert that the common citizen
has a right to live and breathe air
without asking permission of the
labor trust and this has brought
down on us the hate of these edi-
tors. When they go far enough
with their libels, is it harsh for us
to get judgment against them and

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one OF
them, and if there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with little salt and yeast used
in the making of Grape-Nuts, we will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process Our rae
tories are SO clean that one could, with
good relish, eat meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-, are of the highest grade in the state
of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid in
the state for similar work
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture OF
Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into flour. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities of this
-four in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into a general -four
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and lit
tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barley
having been ground 1t was passed
through about one hundred hours Of
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which changes
the starch in the grain into form of
sugar
Now after we have passed it into
dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about Is inches long and or 6
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience in second cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second
aryovens, each perhaps IS or 80 feet long
There the food is subjected to a long low
heat and the starch which has not been
heretofore transformed is turned into a
form of sugar generally known as Post
Sugar 1t can be seen glistening on the
granules of Grape-Nuts il held toward
the light. and this sugar is not poured
over or put on the food as these prevari-
Gators ignorantly assert On the con-
trary the sugar exudes from the interior
of each little granule during the process
of manufacture, and reminds one OF the
