SOLDIERS STORIES.
"REMINISCENCES
OF THE WAR.
Graphic Account of Stirring Scenes
Witnessed on the Battlefield and in
Camp-veterans of the Rebellion Re-

Gen. Charles FL. Howard, in his talk
at the Appomattox celebration of Co
lumba Post, told of many traits and
characteristics of General Grant, with
whom the speaker served in the Army
Of the Tennessee. While testifying to
the well-known reserve in speech OF
General Grant, his former associate
said that the great general was by no
means an unsocial man.
General Grant was thoughtful of
the comfort and the feelings of the Of
ficers and men with whom he was In
contact" said General Howard. He
was not, of course, loquacious, nor was
he silent and uncommunicative- He
talked we'll and intelligently, and took
his associates into his confidence as
much as was desirable or wise, for one
in his position. In battle he was
study in the cool and sane conduct OF
the situation.
''At the battle of Lookout mountain
was carrying orders between him and
my division, and / was struck with
the perfect appreciation he had cf the
real state of affairs in every part OF
the field, field which stretched, re-
member, over miles of country. He
never forgot, when 1 gave him news,
just how the part of the movements l
reported had stood an hour, or two
hours, before.
''The whole progress of the engage
ment was clearly in his mind, from its
beginning to the moment, and you may
be sure it was well outlined also as
to the succeeding hours and events Of
the battle.
Grant was never profane in his
speech. In all of my associating with
him-and l was closely associated with
him-I never heard him use an oath, or
swear at all. His repugnance to vul-
| garity in language is well known. He
would not endure it in his presence.
His regard for others was strong. and
he was patient man, but there was
a limit to his patience. That limit was
reached, and he quickly showed it
when any one began wagging a loose
or profane tongue in his presence.
Although Grant was Of direct. sim
pie speech and manners, careless in his
dress and never stickler for eti-
quette, he had a natural and quiet d.::ss
nifty which was felt by all with whom
he came in contact He never had to
assert himself. What he was showed
too well."-Chicago Journal.
