Truth About Grant.
The following timely article is a
communication recently published in
the tlunto Constitution :
Editor Conatitution : Not long ago
yon "reproduced by permission from
the New York World'* Sunday Maga
sine" an artiole by Mrs. Jefferson
Davis on "Tho Humanity of Gen.
Grant."
Mrs. Dsvis has certainly depended
apon imagination snd hearsay in this
eulogy on Grant. Speaking of the
sword story of Appomattox, she says :
"General Grant did not keep it as a
trophy, 3ut respectfully returned it to
tho hand which had made its fame SB
deathless as that of Excalibur." In
Grants Memoirs, volume 2, page 494,
he says: "The much talked of sur
rendering of Lee's nword snd my
handing it back, this and mach more
that has beon said about it ss the
purest romance." It was pore ra
diance about Grant receiving tho
sword, and it follows that it was not
"respectfully oi ru u."
In his memoirs, Gen. Grant says
that Geo. Lee told bim that in tho
Confederate army the cavalrymen and
artillerists owned their own horses.
Gen. Grant was of opinion that the
war was about ended; that most of the j
Confederates were small farmers and
would not bo able to make a crop
without "the aid of the horses they
were then riding." He said to Gen.
Lee about the horses: "The United
States did not want them, and I would,
therefore, iostruct the officers I left
behind to receive the parolos of his
troops to let every man of the Con
federate army who claimed to own a
horse or male to take the animal to
hia home." From this it will be seen
that Gen. Grant, according to his own
statement, was influenced by two
facts in allowing the Confederates to
retain their horso3, to wit: The horses
were the private property of the sol
diet i, and."thc United States did not
want them." This means that the
I horses would have been taken if they
bcd belonged to the Confed rate
States, or they would have been taken
anyway if tho United States had want
ed them.
This horse story has been told so of
ten that no doubt some persons be
lieve that Gen. Grant sent Gen. Lee's
soldiers home on horseback, but tn at
is not the case. When the surrender
oame Gen. Lee had only 7,892 inf an*
j try with arms in their hands.
Before the paroles were made ont
stragglers enough came up to run tho
number np to about 25,000. Of these
about 5,000 were osvalry and artillery.
Then at least 20,000 men had to walk
home, and were not beneficiaries of
! Grant's magnanimity. The men who
' did ride home were allowed to keep
their horses only until they got in
<?ood condition. Then treasury agents
b warmed through the country and car
ried off every horse that had the
brand U S. or C. 8. on it. But this
did not satisfy them, for they took
away every horae that some trifling
negro would say had bee i in the
army.
When it comeB to magnanimous
treatment of Confederates, Grant is
not to be classed wit'i Sherman. Gen.
Bonjamin F. Butler states that there
was an agreement between Sherman
and his leading officers to provide a
ship at Charleston for the escape from
tho country of Jefferson Davis and
such of his cabinet and others as chose
to ro. with him.
it is a fact that Sherman proposed
*<-' alicT tbs men uf Johnston's army
who surrendered at Greensboro to take
their guns and go home as if no war
had taken place. He said he would
rather have the paroled Confederates
control the Sooth than to see it turn
ed over to the negro rule.,
Mrs. Davis should write no more
saoh snides, for the newspapers until
eho ia sure of her facts.
ROBERT H. HEMPHILL.
The Land of Besodlcts.
Tho men in South America hold
their women in highest respect. Not
only do they accord them the polite
distinction of outward deference, but
they guard them with an earnest so
licitude that protects them from every
care, and they bear from them every
burden that man oan carry f:.~ woman.
The ohivalry of the oldem time sur
vives among these people, and that
is doubtless ono reason why the women
are 80; contented with their lot. A
charming senora assured me that the
South American women make tho best
wives in the world. After matriage,
tho woman is ns ono lost to the world.
Her career is Sotshed.Bofar aa matters
autaide her domestic affairs aro eon
cered. Her sphere of influence ia
henceforth inclosed within the triple
couria of her husband's house, and
conaietB in bringing np her children
and in exercising a n:itd sovereignty
in her domestic domain.
Thor are no married flirts in Sooth
America, no scandals caused by un
faithful wives, no ambitions, woman
pining in their secluded homes, so far
aa ia known. There' are co wemcu's
rights* conventions, temperance socie
ties, no daU&hte s' or mothers* mees
ogs. There is not evan a woman**
whist club in the whole country. The
wife know* (withing of he issi!?
:
fi u ano: 3, and ehe is not OJ U au I ted in
the consideration of her husband's j
serious affairs The question maj I
well be asked, "What in the world do
these women do with their time?"
And the answer is, that their days
are quite ss fall of activities, mental
and physical, as they wish them to be.
South American women do not orate
the freedom and publicity of life they
see enjoyed by their sisters in other
countries. They prefer the sedation
with the protection of their own
method of life. They are very chari
table, too, and tho kindness itself to
the poor people in their neighborhood,
as they send portions of bread and
meat every day to their, poor neigh
bors.-Richmond JNeto*.
Ma airier a Hushanri ;
"Aunt" Charlotte (colored-very
much so) was so mild a creature that
we had never suspected it cf her. The
good anntie was a widow, a faot of
which sho seemed rather proud,
though she always spoke of the late
departed with the greatest respect and
often deplored her condition; but the
state of widowhood appeared to be
rare in her circle, and it gave her a
sort of distinction. Somehow, too,
she seemed to hold vaguely that it
rendered her judgment clearer and
made her decisions leserving of great
er attention.
"Fact is," she begin" one day, with
out warning, "yo' gotter know how to
get er-long wid a man. Ain't np man
wot ain't gotter be managed, 'deed
there aint. There was my 'Gustus
jess the bes test-meaning man, but
whah would I been if I hadn't managed
him? Yo'see, he used tobeapotah
on a sleeping kyar, an* he'd come
homo sleepy and cross, which was
natural. Well he'd eome an' scold
round 'bout this thing an' udder thing.
Course I koo wed he didn't mean it,
but I seen it didn't do him no good,
an' didn't do me no good. - So I jess
made np my mine to see 'bout it..
"One mohnin' in ho come 'bout i)
o'clock, an' he jess kinder found fault
in er gen'ral way 'bout everything, an*
don went into do udder room an1 jess
flopped himself down on de white bed
spread 'thout so much as taken' off
his shoes an'went to sleep. This was
jess a little too rauch for me, an' I
says to myself. 'Ho's mah lawful 'os
band thter promised to lovo an' honah
an' 'boy, bot I gotter tek him in hand
fer his own good, so I havel'
"So, after awhile, when he was
snorin' right lively, I jess tek mah
needle an' mah thread and goes in an'
I draws do spread all up around him,
an' I sews it good an' strong all up
around him, jess like a oat in a bag,
tight, an' says I, 'when I let dst eat
oater dal bag he'll he er better oit, so
he will!' Den I gets de tater m a sh ah
an' I jess gives it to him good, hard's
I could pound. He wakes upan* 'gins
to holler mighty loud, I tells yo'; bat
I jess keeps on a-swioging dat mashah.
He keeps tearing round right smaht,
but he oan't get erway nohow.
"Den I rests a little an' asks him
how he feels 'bout de future, an' he
don't seem to feel right, an' keeps
trying to get ont, an' pretty soon turns
ovah; so 1 gets upan* pretty soon
tums ovah; so ' I gets up an' I jess
mash him some moah on t'other side,
mebby little was dan beffoh, seeing I
had a hard BabjeCt that wa'n't ready
tc listen to reason. An byme-by he
'comes more still, an' I seen he was
coming to be rekenoiled, sol stops,
an' says I, "Gastas, do you reckon
yo' be good now an' stop yo' fault
finding?' an' says he, 'Deed I will,
Cha'lotte! Lemmy oat, please!' An'
I seen he meant it, t ) I jess ripped de
seams wid mah shears an' let him out:
an' a mighty meek col uh ed man he
was, too, an' nevah wasn't cross no
moah, an' took off his shoes befoh he
went to bed. It's jess as I ssy-yo'
gotter manage a man."-Harper s Mag -
azine._
- "I'd like to know why lt is,"
exclaimed the angry father to his in
dolent son, "that you always stand at
tho foot of your class io school?"
"It's cause the teacher won't let me
sit down," drawled the lazy youth.
- "Dootor, I shall never forget
that to youl owe my life." "Ob,
no," said the doctor, mildly, "you
only owe me for fifteen visits I made
you during your illness."
- "So he wants to marry you, eh?"
demanded her father. "Do you know
anything about his means?" "AU I
know is that he means to marry me,"
replied the girl.
- There are 7,400 members of the
New York poliee force. The number

The Washington Relics. j
A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun ^
from Washington says: The corres
pondence between Senator Daniel of
Virginia, and,*President McKinley,
looking to the placing of the relics of
. George Washington io the hands of
George Washington Curtis Leo has
aroused interest of those priceless
treasures now io the Nctional Mu
seum.
In a collection of this sort it is
almost impossible to seiest the most
interesting, bnt perhaps the tents used
by Washington during the Revolu
tionary War appeal most strongly to
the visitors to tuc uiuseum. Tue
sleeping tent is of linen and a mar
quee tent is of wool with a complete i
iinen cover. They arc so well pre
served that it is almost impossible to
believe that they were made over 125
years ago, and that they passed
through severe service. The style is
ver muoh the same as that prevail
ing to-day.
The china is of that rioh old pattern
whioh attracts the eye of the antiqu
ary. Of all, the most conspicuous
are the Cincinnalus pieces, which
have a curious history with some mys
tery attached. They were made in
China, the decorations being largely
on the border, but in the center of
the design of an angel bearing thc
arms of the Society of the Cincinnati,
The ourious feature of this is that thc
the Chinese should have knowu any
thing about this society, then justin
its infancy. Thc bill of lading calh
for two sets, but it is not known foi
whom either was imported.
Washington, it appears, heard ol
their arrival at Baltimore and sent ai
agent to buy ono. No ono seems tc
know what became of the others set.
Other pieces in tho collection an
associated with Martha Washington
these belonging to a service said ti
have been presented to her by th
French officers who participated ii
the Revolution. Thoy consist of i
j largo plate, a small plate and a cu
and saucer of whuc porcelain bearing
the initials "M \V."' in a gold mo .0
gram in the eeutcr of odch piece. The
border bearu the names of the 13 orig
inal States in oval |incdallioo8 of
green. These pieces are badly crack
ed
Another article belonging to the
original First Lady of the Land is an
iron treasure ehest, in which Mrs.
Washington was wont to keep her
jewels, papers and other valuable pos
sessions. In the same case with this
ure tho iron hall lantern from Mount
Vernon and a pair of wrought iron
andirons.
The moBt valuable items ic the col
lection aro t.vo Worcester vasos, 13}
and 18 inches high respectively. Tiny
are of the dark blue porcelain, relieved
with gold and are decorated in
O'Neal's best manner, with some of
his celebrated animal paintings. A
broken punoh bowl of Chinese porce
lain, a large mirror and a few minor
articles complete the Lee collection.
- Uoe of tho laws of Texas imposes
heavy linc and imprisonment on law
yers who forment suits against
railroads and other corporations, or
who advance money to clients to secure
such cisca.
