Good Story about General Grant
General Ilillyer lived in St. Louis
when Grant left his little farm near by
to enter the firm of Boggs & Grant, real
estate ageuts, houses to rent. &c In those
days ho had a desk, I believe, in Ilillyer's
law office.
"Was the General silent then as now?"
"No. We considered him more than
commonly talkative. So he is now ; but
he won't talk for effect, nor before strang
ers freely. This reticence of Grant, so
much made of, is partly discrimination,
and partly the form of an old bushfulness
he had when a boy.. Anybody whom he
knows can hear him speak at any time."
"In St. Louis I liked Grant. lie was
entertaining, and I was attracted toward
him by what I hardly knew at that time.
Afterward I knew it to be Manhood, the
same that he developed in battle so well.
I was in New York when I heard of his
appointment, and soon after came a tele
graph message to join his staff. I was
at the Planter's House in St. Louis, on
business afterward, and, wishing to see
Grant, he rode up during the day with
some of his staff oGccrs, and they had
one empty horse.
"Here, Ilillyer,' said Grant. "Here's
your horse. The boat has been waiting
lor me three-quarters of an hour. Stir
yourself !'
"I am not going, Grant, I never enter
tained the notion a minute in earnest.'
"Come along ! I can't listen to that.
Time presses !'
"But I have not written to my wife.'
"Well ! that you had better do. After
this next action I am going into you cau
come home if you don't get your head
knocked off first and fix up your busi
ness.' In brief, Ilillyer found himself going
down the river, in ten minutes, to his own
bewilderment, wondering greatly whe
ther be could stand up in action. Perhaps
in this way Grant will impress into his
Cabinet some unwilling talent, if there
be any talent unwilling to go into Cabi
net. I have not seen any of this latter
sort. '
. "Did you notice any strong traits of
character iu Grant soon afterward V
"His courage and soldierly vanity in
action first struck me, and his entire wil
lingness to fight, lie never talked before
action, as if he had any personal ferebod
ings, but grew more cheerful and con
centrated as the time of battle approach
ed. His indisposition to leave any posi
tion he had taken was often uncomfort
able. I remember at Pittsburg Landing,
that he, Rawlings, my?elf, and some oth
er staff officers, were in a place where the
artillery of the enemy was concentrated.
Their lire was terrible, and every instant
I erpected ' to have my head shot off.
Grant sat on horseback, straight and
cheerful, as you have sometimes seen a
man of a hot day go out to be rained, on
rather enjoy it. lie kept us all in half
agony. One officer said to me :
"Go tell the Old Man to leave here,
for God'i sake !'
"No ! Tell him yourself. He'll think
me afraid, and so I am, but ho shan't
think so."
4Thcre we sat, the fire crossing upon
us. At last one of the green members of
the staff rode up to Grant, saying :
"General, wc must leave this place.
It isn't necessary to stay right here. If
we do, wc shall all be dead in five min
utes." -
"I guess that's so!' said Grant, and he
rode away, to our relief.
. "As to fear," continued Ilillyer, "Grant
used to say that he had seen men who
said they never knew what it was, but he
had never seen anybody who said it . of
them. Another thing that struck me
with Grant was his own attempt frequent
ly to supersede his own good luck. At
Donelson he went to Commodore Foote
and begged him to run past the rebel
guns with a gunboat or , two. Foote re
plied, saying that he would be shot to
pieces. Grant maintained that he would
suffer no mere than in ordinary bombard
ment. This took place before Farragut
made a practical demonstration of Grant's
theory. Now, if Foote had done, this,
the rebels would have evacuted Fort
Donelson, and the battle aud capture
there which made Grant historic, would
never happened.
"Grant, developed wonderfully in the
war, and though I as a Democrat opposed
his election, I had no doubt that he was
the safe, strong man, worthiest to head
the army. There is needed no better in
stance or proof to this effect thau the fol
lowing ; I was at City Point in 1805,
and sitting close by Grant I saw him
break the eeal of a letter. Then he smil
ed, good-naturedly.
"What's, that, General Grant?'
"A letter from Sherman. Read it !'
"I read the letter, and said that, Sher
man could no longer hold Atlanta, his
line being too long. He asked permis
sion to destroy the town and move to the
tea, subsisting upon the country, and
turning at bay to fight Hood whenever
the latter pursued him too closely. All
this seemed brilliant and soldierly to me,
and I asked Grant what in it made him
laugh.
"Why," he said, 4I was wondering
what Hood could find to subsist upon if
he followed in the rear of Sherman.'
"Thus was the General supplying an
error of geniu9. : Sherman supposed that
Hood would follow him. Grant knew
that Hood could not eat ot the barren and
devastated country. So he sent this
word to Sherman: "You have my per
mission to destroy Atlanta aud march to
the sea after you detach Schofield and
to go to Tennessee. Hood will not
follow you ; he will inarch upon Nash
ville." Now, see ! Had Sherman carried
his whole force seaward, mistaking the
effect of his movement upon Hood.
Nashville woul 1 have fallen, Ohio and
Indiana teen invaded, and the Southern
Confederacy been an accomplished fact."
"Grant' said Ilillyer, is stern as Jupi
ter. There is no finer story of two stern
men than Grant and George II. Thomas
before the battle of Nashville. Thomas
has a dislike of being whipped, and he is
cautious and sedate to the last degree till
the time for decision has come. Grant
sent word to Thomas to move out of his
works and attack Hood. Thomas was not
ready, and he went ou deliberately with
his preparations. Graut telegraphed again: according to the height of the fence, and
"The country is excited. Attack !" j the other twice the length cf the first, ther
Thomas was not yet quite ready. Then let the boards into the uprights their
Grant sent Johu A. Logan to Louisville thickucss, and before cailin" ti.cm dove
to be ready to take command and tele-;
graphed again: 'If you do not attack !

Just at that time Thomas was ready, not!

which is briefly as follows: Nearly a i cen-j

old man died and the stone remained in
the family for several generations, and re
cently, so runs the story, it came iuto the
possession of Dr. Dougherty, of .Mechanics
burg, Pennsylvania, whose children are
legal heirs. It is claimed to be a diamond
of first quality, and weighs four hundred
and fifty carats, whilst that of the Rejah
of Mattan(?),.said to be the largest in the
world, weighs only three hundred and
sixty seven carats. The stone hr.s been
sent away to pass the scrutiuy of the a
blcst scientific men in the couutry, and the
Ilarrisburg State Guard, which is res
ponsible for the story of which the above
is an outline, says "there is reason to bs
lieve that America can boast the largest
diamond in the world."
On February 11, while a prominent
member of the Pittsburg bar was address
ing a jury, a singular-looking dog, with
long spindle legs, a lank body, and a
small round head in which were set a pair
of sharp eyes, walkcJ iuside the bar and
took up his position in front of the jury,
before which the lawyer was so eloqueut
ly pleadiug. The attorney was so deeply
engaged in stating his case that he did
not notice the appearance of the ani
mal, aud could not imagine what it was
that caused au occasional smile to break
over the countenances of even the ino;t
sober jurymen. The dog appeared deep
ly interested in the sceue, and looked
from the attorney to the jury, and the
jury to the judge, as though he under
stood the case perfectly, until at last the
lawyer iu making some stunning proposi
tion, which he wished to impress clearly
upon the minds of the jury, brought dowu
one of his clenched fists towards the floor,
and accidentally dealt the dog a fierce
blow on the head. The animal did not
like this style of argument, and with a
growl made a lunge for the pantaloons of
tho lawyer. The attorney on the oppoiitc
side perceiving his advantage, slily gave
the dog a little encourugemeut, aud the
services of two or three tipstaves were
rcudered necessary to remove the demon
strative animal from the court room.
Painting Houses. Repeated experi
ments prove that paint applied between
November and March, will last twice as
long as that applied in warm weather.
The reason ia that in cold weather the
component parts of the paint form a hard
substance on the surface, as hard almost
as glass ; but in warm weather the oil
peuetrates thejboards, aud the paint wears
off.

To Keep Cattle from Jumping.
A correspondent of the JJain Parmer'
says : "Now, I have a novel little arrange
meut which I have several times used,
which has always proved a perfect cure
for jumping ; and since it is not in the.
condition of the animal and is easily made,
I think it is much Letter than anything;
which I have ever seen for this purpose.
It consists of a cross piece on the hortts
to upright standards a couple cf feet in
length from this, and last, a second cross
piece on top of the standards and is easily
put on in the following manner : Fit the
cross pioce tightly to the horns as. is- cJT
ten seen on cattle that hook fences, then
bore a couple of holes in thisone at each
end, at such an angle that when the stand
aids are put into them, the cross-picca
surmounting theni will be about fee
from the shoulders when the animal stauda
naturally with his head up."
A letter to the Cheyenne Laidcr from
one of the civil engineers on the Central
Pacific Railroad, thus describes a pound
of warm water io what secui3 to be the
crater of au extinct volcano, near th.Cs
North Fork of Humboldt river Nevada i
"I must Ull ycu about one remarkable
curiosity we camped near a curious hat
spring. It is situated in a crater about
two hundred feet in diameter, on the top.
of a knoll which rises about fifty feet
above the river. In the bottom of tho
crater is a long cliptical pool, perhaps 150
feet long in one direction and scveuty-fiva
in the other a m immonth bath tub in,
shape. The depth of water is unknown,
no lines brought here having been lone
enough to reach bottom. In one part
the water is just hot enough to enabla
the hand to be held in it, and tho re
mainder of the pool varies from this to
lukewarmness. The walls are nearly
vertical, and you can imagine, tho luqury
a plunge into it, with no fear of striking
bottom. Just think, too, of swimming
about, on a cold November day, with the
rising steam deposited in frost upon tbe
rocks, in water which is of a temperature
perfectly luxuriou. When I went iu I
had so severe a cold as to be unable to
speak aloud, aud it cured mo almost en
tirely. The water tastes siightly of sul
pher, iron and lime."
On Monday last the wife of Wm. CIrt,
