A DAUGHTER'S LOVE. Charming Vivian Sartorls Nursed Her Mothar Back to Life.. Tills Is the story of pretty Vivian Sartorls—"Little ISpshine," ber lather, used to call her in the childhood days gone by—and how she left the merry whirl of.Washington society to nurse her mother during a painful illness hi New York Cltjfc Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, the Daughter of the Nation—"Pretty Miss Nellie," they called her at the White House when her father was in the Presidential chair—has been very ill. All her friends—and the whole nation loves "Pretty Miss Nellie"—were shocked at the report that she was suf fering from cancer, and hoped it might prove wrong. Her daughter Vivian .was Informed of her mothers sickness, and, casting aside the life »112 a society belle at the very height of the season, took the fastest train for Nefw York that she could take, and was not many hours in getting to the bedside of her loving mother. There for days and weeks she stayed, looking after her patient's every want, and no sick one was ever attended more carefully or tenderly. No girl ever commanded so com pletely the homage of a nation as did Nellie Orant in the days before her unhappy marriage to Captain Sartorls. In temperament she had the rare gift of sunshine, and that was why brave General Grant was pleased to call her "Little Sunshine" as she sat upon Ills knee in the big White House at Wash ington, night after night, when his Presidential toils were over. From all the wide world over princes and poten tates came to clasp hands with Presi dent Grant, and to tell him what a great man he was. Of course, they all saw Nellie, and capitulated to her smiles. It was the same with folks at Washington, too. for Nellie had the same smile for all. But wedding bells brought sadness to the White House, and sounded a knell for the laughter of "Little Sunshine." Miss Nellie had u will of her own, the iron will inher ited from her soldier father—and none the less unbending. She fell in love, and not all the admonitions of her father and mother and friends could bring about a disenchantment. Algernon P. Sartorls was the son of a rich Englishman who owned land in Wisconsin. Both son and father came to America in 1873. At that time Nel lie Grant was coming home from Eu rope, and they crossed the ocean on the same steamer. The President's daughter fell in love with the young Englishman, and, strange as it inay seem, every one else who met Sartorls disliked and distrusted him. His own countrymen, even, who were attached to the British Legation at Washington had no good word to say of him. (Gen eral Grant suffered the cruelest mis givings, and did his best to dissuade liis daughter from entering into matri mony. She was only nineteen, but she was willful—very willful—and she married the man of her choice. The ceremony was performed in the East Itooiu of the White House, and Mr. aiul Mrs. Sartorls went to live in Eng land. ller life was far from happy. Sar toris was not what he should have been. But the elder Sartoris treated her as a daughter. Three children were born, two girls and a boy, and the elder girl, Vivian, is the one who has been nursing her mother in her recent illness. When the elder Sartoris died he left this daughter $30,000 a year income, and for a while she lived in London, on Cadogan place, but later years brought a longing for the homeland, and she returned to America some yjars ago. She asked Congress to restore her to citizenship, and. unusual though the request was, it was granted, and Mrs. Sartoris says she will never again claim England as her home. Thus it has come about that fair Viv ian Sartorls is au American maiden, after all. NEW YORK MARKETB. Flour and Grain. FLOUR.
