BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
From the New York Ledger.
THE KAItaVY LIFE OF UE5T.
OKA.W.
BT HIB FATHER.
The General comes .of a good fighting
stock. - Bis great grandfather, Cspt. Noah
Grant, a native of Windsor, now Tolland,
Conn., was killed in the battle at White
Plains, in 1758; his great grandfather's
brother, Lieut. Solomon Grant, was killed
in the same battle. I have in my possession
an original muster-roll mado out by Capt.
Koali Grant, in 1755 the year before hie
death. His own name heads it as captain ;
the names, dates of service, and "quality"
of the men are duly entered in separate
columns; and as illustrative of the sentiment
of those early days, one hundred and twelve
years ago, on tho military aspect of color, I
may quote the following designations ol socio
of the privates : "Prince, negro." "Jupiter,
negro."
Captain Noah Grant's son, Noah Grant,
also a native of Connecticut, was my father;
and if be did not get killed in battle like
his worthy sire, it was not because he did
not perseverinKlv take all the chances of
such a death, for he fought in the Revolu-1
viunury war, irom oeginoing to ena over
seven years. He was a Lieutenant of militia
at the battle of Lexington. This long period
of soldering spoilt him for all financial busi
ness. My mother who was his second wife
was ao excellent manager, and, while she
lived, the family were always in comfortable
circumstances ; but after death in 1805
we bad to separate, and that impressed upon
the minds of all of us a lesson which we
never forgot. She left seven children the
oldest only twelve. Every one of them
subsequently became wealthy. My father
was born rich, and was a man of education;
but he died poor. His children were born
poor, but acquired a comfortable competen
cy. I was born in Westmoreland county, Penn
sylvania, January 23, 1794. When I was
five years of age, I was taken by my father,
who emigrated with his family, to that part
of the Northwestern Territory which is now
Columbiana county, Ohio. When I was ten
years of age he moved to Portage county
in the Western Reserve. At sixteen, I was
regularly apprenticed to my balf-brother to
learn the taming business, at Msysville,
Kentucky. I faithfully served out my ap
prenticeship ; and soon after I became of
age, set up business for myself, at Ravenna,
Portage county, Ohio.
Ilere I suffered a severe and protracted
illness from fever and ague, which finally
compelled me to relinquish business. The 1
savings of four years were consumed by
by the expenses of this sickness. In 1820 1
settled temporarily at a small place , called
Point Pleasant, situated direetly on the
Ohio river, twenty-five miles above Cincin
nati ; and in June, 1820, 1 was married to
Miss Hannah Simpson, and commenced
housekeeping at that place.
Here, on the 87th day of April, 1823, our
first child, Ulysses S. Grant, was born. The
honse in which this event occored ia still
standing.
Five other children three daughters and
two sons were subsequently added to our
family. One son and one daughter, both
grown and both single, died of consumption
during the late war.
Industry, frugality and perseverence made
me fortunate in business and enabled me to
accumulate a competency for myself and my
fumily. In 1855, at the sge of sixty, I meas
urably retired ; that is, I withdrew from the
direct personal supervision of my business.
My sons, Simpson Grant since deceased
and Orvil L. Grant now of Chicago
continued the business for twelve years, in
my name, and made more than twice as
much money aa we bad ever made before.
We always had the reputation of making
the very best of leather we tauned with
nothing but oak, and that made it superior.
About two years ago, I had made' up my
mind that I should eojoy more seeing the
principal part of my property in the posses
sion of my children than I should keeping
it in my own. General Grant said he had
done nothing toward making it, and he did
not want any of it. The Government had
provided for him so well that I acquiesced
in his view. My son Orvil, who is in busi
ness in Chicago, received the larger share;
and my daughters got about twenty-five
thousand dollars apiece. I kept enough for
myself.
My early opportunities for education were
extremely limited. I never went to school
but about five months in my life, though I
I took lessons in English grammar lor tour
weeks after I was married.
I have taken a pretty active interest, gen
erally, in the political questions of the day
though not to the neulect of mv Drivata af
faire. I wrote the "platform which was
arlopted at the last Whig State Convention
that ever assembled at Columbus, and play
ed a part in the first election of Salmon P.
Cbaae as Governor of Ohio.
I was never what was technical! known
as an Abolitionist, but I never beld a slave.
I made up my mind, when I was a young
man, tnai t wouia never nave sieves, mat
wag the reason that I left Kentucky and
went to Ohio. I would not own slave, and
I would not live where there were slaves and
not own them.
I voted for General Jackson for president
every time be waa a candidate that is,
three times.
Mrs. Grant was the second daughter of
John BimDton. of sontgomery county, j'enn-
svlvanla. Bhe waa born and brought-ap ia
that eoonty, about twenty miles from Phil
adelphia, when ia bet nineteenth yea aba
removed with Her lamer to Clermont coun
ty, Ohio. The family were very bigbly re.
cpectable people of veracity and integrity;
kJt
H. B. MASSER & CO.,
SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH
but not of any particular ambition beyond
that of living independent farmers.
Mrs. Grant's father waa worth some pro
perty ; but it waa all in land, and he kept
it until be died. ; ...
It was nearly three years after their re
moval to Clermont that we were married.
A few of the neighbors expressed their sur
prise that one of Mr. Simpson's daughters
should marry a j ouux man hardly yet estab
lished to business.
But this did me uo harm, and as soon aa
it was seen how I wa getting along, I heard
nothing more nf it. 1 supposed there could
bardlv be a marriage at which somebody
would not be surprised. I was not worth a
dollar when I marrU-d ; but I did not stay
that way long; end as soon as I was known
to be prosperous the neighbors seemed to
think the match was exactly the thing just
what I bad thought from the beginning.
At the time of our marriage, Mrs. Grant
waa an unpretending country girl ; hand
some, but not vain. She bad orcviouslv
joined the Methodist church, and I can
truthfully say that it has never had a moro
devoted and consistent member. Her steadi
neu, firmness and strength of character
have been the stay of the family through
life. She was alwayt careful, and most
watchful over ber children but never aus
tere, and not opposed to their free partici
pation in innocent amusements. The lead
ing passion of Ulysses, almost from the time
he could go alone, was for horses. The first
time he ever drove a horse alone, he was
about seven and a half years old. I hod
gone away from homo to Ripley, twelve
miles off. I went in the morning, and did not
get bark until night. I owned at the time a
three year old colt, which had been, ridden
under the saddle .to carry the mail, but bad
never had a collar on. While I was cone.
Ulysses got the colt and nut a collar and
the harness on him, and hitched him up to
a sled. Then be puta single lino on to him
and drove off, and loaded up the sled with
brush and came back again. He kept at it,
haulitg successive loads all day, and when
I came home at nielit, be had a bile, of brush
at big as a cabin.
He used to harness borscs when be bad
to get np in the maner to put the bridle and
collar on, and-then turn the half bushel over
to stand on that to throw the harness on.
At eight and a half years of age he bad
become a regular driver, and used to work
my team all day, day alter day, hauling
wood. There would be a man in the woods
to load, and another at the house to unload
but Llysses would drive the team.
At about ten years of age bo used to drive
a pair of horses alone from Georgetown,
where we lived, forty miles, to Cincinnati,
and bring back a load of passengers.
When Ulysses was a boy, il a circus or
any show came along, in which there was a
call for somebody to come forward acd ride
a pony, ne was always the one to present
himself, and whatever be undertook to ride
be rode. This practice he kept up. until he
got to be so large that he was ashamed to
ride a pony.
Once, when be was a boy, a show came
along in which there was a mischievous
pony, trained to go round the ring like
lightning, and be was expected to throw
any ooy tnat attempted to rule bim.
"Will any boy come forward and ride this
pony I" shouted the ring master.
Ulysses stepped forward and mounted
the pony. The performance began. Round,
and round, and round the ring went the
pony, faster, making- the greatest effort to
dismount the rider. But Ulysses sat as
steady as if he bad grow n to the pony's back.
Presently out came a large monkey and
sprang up behind Ulysses. The people set
up a great shout of laughter, and on the
pony ran ; but it all produced no effect on
the rider. The the ring master made the
monkey Jump upon to Ulysses shoulders,
standing with bis feet on his shoulders, and
witn bis nanas noiaing on to bis hair. At
this there was -another and a still louder
shout, but not M muscle of Ulysses' face
moved. There was not a tremor of bis
nerves. A few more rounds and the ring
master gave it up ; be bad come across a
boy that the pony and the monkey both
could not dismount.
Ulysses had the habtt of riding our horses
to water standing up on their bare backs.
lie began this practice when about five
years old. At eight or nine be would ride
them at the top of their peed, he standing
upon oue foot and balaccing himself by the
bridle reins. The ground over which be
nsed to make these performances was a lit
tle descending towards the river; a near
neighbor's boy who undertook to rival bim
in speed, although without standing up,
was unfortunately thrown from bis horses
and killed.
He always broke his own borscs. I never
knew a horse to balk bim. He used to get
one colt perfectly broken, and then put
another in by the tide of him. He bad a
most wonderful faculty for breaking horses
to pace; it became known in the neighbor
hood and people used to apply to him to
break tbeir borset to pace ; but be bad an
idea that it waa degrading and would never
undertake it
Ooe day a neighbor came to me aud said :
'Ulysses bai a remarkalilo faculty to teach
a horse to pace ; I have a fine young horse,
now bow can I get Ulysses to teach bim to
pacef'
Bays I : . "You tnusn't say a word to bim
about it ; but send biui on a mission to some
place, and get bim, while be is gone, to
teach the horse to paco."
Bald be : "1 will do it" Bo he came over
again and said to Ulysses : "I want to send
a letter, in a hurry, thirteen miles, to Deca
tur, abd I will give you two dollars to get
on my horse and carry it"
Ulyttee was then nine or ten years old.
He was fond of making money, and fond of
that kind ot business, and be answered
will go."

When Ulyasea was in bis twelfth year be

do it, but without any idea that he could
possibly bold out to work the team over a
week he was such a little bit of a follow.
I even hired another man to work the team
and bim to go along with Ulysses ; hut not
to let him know until the boy was tired out,
what he was hired for. The man accompa
nied him for a number of days, when be
came to me and said : "There is no use in
my going with the boy any lenger ; he un
derstands the team and can manage it as
well as I can, and better, too. There's no
use in my following him round."
Oue day, after hauling a load, Ulysses
took the team out and said to mo :
"The men are not in tho woods hewing
to-day and there is no need of my going
back this afternooo, as I can keop up with
their hewing to-morrow ; and there is no
body there to help load."
"Nobody there to help loadt" said I.
"Why bow did you load this morning I"
"Oil, Dave and I loaded." be answered.
Dave was tbe nauie of the big horse I
bonght
"You and Dave loaded I What do you
mean ?'' eaid I, for I considered it absolutely
impossible that a child of his size should
have got such immense logs into tho wa
gon without help.
"Yes," said he, "Dave and I loaded. I
took a chain and hitched on to the end of
the logs, and we managed to get tbeui in."
He then explained bow it was done. A
large sugar tree had been felled, so that it
lay aslant, one end resting ou the ground
and tbe other elevated, lie. had hitched
tbe horse, Dave, to the end of a hewn log,
and hauled it up on to this sutrar tree, the
end projecting over far enough to back tho
wagon under it. Three made a load : aud
when he cot three hauled up in this way.
Im backed the hind end of the wagon up
unaer liicm, ana hitching the powertul
horse in front by means of a lone chain
which extended over the whole length of
the wagon body, he pulled them one at a
time into the wagoo. This was much talk
ed of in tho neighborhood, as it was con
sidered a great achievement for a boy of
his sizo. Ho worked the whole seven
months and until the job was finished,
hauling those logs, and other material for
tbe building, with the exception of a single
week. That week I sent him to Louisville.
It was necessary for me to have a deposition
taken there, to be used in a law suit in
which I was engaged in tho State of Connec
ticut. I bad written moro than once about
it to my lawyers, but could not get the bu
siness done. "I can do it," said Ulysses.
So I sent him on tbe errand alone. Before
he started I gave him an open letter that he
might show the captain of the boat, or any
one else, if he should have occasion, stating
that he was my son and was going to Louis
ville on my business.' Going clown he hap-,
pened to meet a neighbor with whom be'
was acquainted ; so he had no occasion to
use the letter. But when ho came on board
a boat to return the captain asked him who
he-was. He told him ; but the captain an
swered : "I cannot take you. You may be
running away." L"lvses then produced my
letter, which put everything right ; and the
captain not only treated bim with great
kindness, but took so much interest, in him
as to invite bim to go as far as Mavsvillo
with bim, where he bad relatives living,
free of expense.

Yallundlliam on tbe Ievr York
World.
The World is a so called "Democratic"
newspaper, publibhcd in New York city. Its
editor is one Manton Marble; iu proprietors
are S. L. M. Barlow, end sundrv other
wealthy gentlemen of venal Democracy.
The World was originally "created" in some
thing over six days, as a religious newspaper,
and still retains faint traces of its origin.
Its old red sandstone was puritan piety ; iu
secondary formation waa shoddy and army

not compete witn tne irttntne, tbe Timet,

something must bo done, and Marble de
manded of Mayor Updyke material aid,
money to carry it on; sayiotr. as Mr. Oodvko
testified under oath, tbut he preferred great
ly to remain a Republican, as be waa in
principle, but that il the party did not fur
nish bim with means he would sell out to
the Democrats. And be did ; office, type,
presses, nxiures, and nimseu good win be
had none to sell. Since that time (1862-8).
he has "hung upon the verge" of tbe Demo
cratic party, ignoring iu principles, under
mining its organization, and assailing its
publio men, according to the order of bis
purchasers and owners. The World has no
circulation in central and southern Ohio,
and very little in any part of the State. The
Democracy of Ohio have never bad any
sympathy with it, or its antecedeuU, or its
style, or iu politics, and will hereafter have
still less.
The Treasury Statement.
The March statement of the National
Treasury appeared on Saturday, and, con
trary to tbe preliminary announcement, it
appears that the actual debt has diminished
$4,177,607. The iucrease of tho idle bal
ance in tho Treasury has been f .,308,111.
Tbe coin lying useless in the Treasury
amounts to $106,623,874, of which t25,699,
369 is represented by gold certificates of
deposit in circulation, leaviug tS0,024,013

1867 and 1868 bave been reduced 80,200,
and the five-twenty gold bonds have been

laving increased the debt unnecessarily
during the last few months, Mr. M'Cullocn

Anecdote of Sherman.
When General Sherman was at Atlanta,
preparing for hi famous "march to the
sea," an order was promulgated directing
all civilians to leave Atlanta (North and
South) within twelve days. The day of iu
ifcsuo a gentleman entered Sherman's office,
and inquired for the General. Tbe latter
answered very promptly, "I am General
Sherman." The colloquy was very nearly
as follows :
Citizen General, I am a Northern man,
from the State of Connecticut ; have been
living at Atlanta for nearly seven years;
have accumulated considerable property
here, 'and as I see that you have ordered all
citizens to leave within twelve days, I came
to see if you would make an exception in
my case. I fear, if I leave, my property
will be destroyed.
Gen. Sherman What kind of property
do you own, sir. Perhaps I will make an
exception in your case, sir.
Citizen I own a block of stores, three
dwelling, a plantation two miles out of
town, and a foundry.
Gen. Sherman Foundry, eh ! What have
you been doing with your foundry!
Citizen Have been making castings.
Gon. Sherman What kind of castings!
Shot and shell, and all that kind of thlug !
Citizen Yes, sir, I have made somo shot
and shell.

Tbe following snake story we find in an
exchange :
In speaking of snakes, I am reminded of
an anecdote I once heard of the wife of an
Indian railway official, who was trimming
with a large knife some plants which formed
a border to a flower-bed. She was cntting
the tops off, and, while so engaged, she was
scared by seeing the coils of oce of the most
deadly serpenu of tbe country among the
leaves. With a loud shriek she dropped
the knife and the. plants, and a man em
ployed in the garden ran to ber assistance.
On hearing tho cause of ber alarm, be
sought to kill tbe snake with bis boe ; tbe
creature was plainly to be seen writhing
about, but, although struck, it made uo ef
fort to escape or turn on iu assailant. At
last it lay motionless, and the gardener ven
tured to pick it up, when he found it was
headless. To tbe horror ot tbe lady, the
head was discovered among tbe leave which
bbe bad thrown down on seeing tbe suake ;
she bad grasped it unconsciously among
me top. oi tne pianu, and witn her garden
knife had severed it from tho body. Tbe
bite of that specie of nako was usually
fatal in six hours.
A Lake Dried Ui. A few days ago tbe
water from Ottawa Lake, iu Monroe county,
Michigan, all at once disappeared. Tho
Cold water Gazetto states that tbe water bad
begun to subside or some days, and tho
teamsters who carried stone from the lake
noticed that the holes at which they watered
their cattle were crowded with fish. They
increased in numbers, both large and small,
the former having their mouths wide open,
and so exhausted that the people caught
them with tbuir hands. The work of quar
rying and hauling stones wo soon aban
doned, and in a ehort time score of team
and hundreds of men might be seen on and
aiouud tbe lake. The men, with handspikes,
crowbar and axe, were busily engaged in
cutting and raising huge piece of ice, and
then stooping down and lifting the fish,
tome of which were dead, some alive, and
some frozen fast in tbe ice, for the water
having departed from tbe lake by some sub
terraneous paaaage, the vast sheet of ice lay
on tbe bottom. For three day immense
quantities offish were carried away, princi
pally pickerel and bats, while vast quanti
ties of white fish were left to rot on the ice
and in the mud for mud and ice are all
that is left of Ottawa Lake. Numerou
piece of the ice are left (standing on edge,
like so many grave (tone. The lake, or
rather iu bed or grave-yard, prescnU a novel
scene. Some say tbe water will aoon return
by the tame oirce by whloh it departed.

About aevea year ago thia lake departed
