Grant raised ids I“g house with the helpYf.| the negroes, planted potatoes and wheat, and carted all his own cord- wood, and relied in Winter for ready money on what He could sell the wood for in St. L uis. He also sold Aoiuy to JtfT rson Barracks, v/hecce he had gone to couit his wife. He got hut 84 a cord for the wood, after ^hevifYig, loadiug-aud drawing it to a market.

He could have stayed in tho army if he would m ike certain promises and bo eubjectcd to eomeboby’s caprices, bnt he said •‘No, I am tired of this life, and will soldier no more till there is another war.” We may imagine Mr. Grant’s feelings on his way back to New York by steamer. He was 32 years old, with two children, and all hts education and military experience had gene for nothing! He had been compelled to borrow a little money in San Francisco, nod must ask for more win n he reached New York to take him to St. Louis, where he was to find bis wife who had been looking lor him two years with loving anxiety, and to tell her that he had lost his commis sion, was without a cent, and must find something to do. It muni have been a long, long trip to Grant; but he did not stop on the road nor fly from the painful necessity of meeting her and saying the worst. At Governor's Island, New York, he borrowed some money and went bn to SacketCs Harbor, where his old California sutler owed him quite, a sum. This man wqi«d n6t pay him a penny, though cohfeeeifig the deUtTUul Grant, though VKItY, VERY POOR. Little more than two years before the wai. Grant went lut*>estate ••***•— -f „ -- «• „ name of B >ggs, b-avmg ids wife out on the farm. He slept in a rudm in St. Louis without a carpet, on a camp bed, and his only washstand was a chair. Every Saturday night he would walk ton miles out to Scrabble, and back again Monday morning. There was little in the butiurt-s, aud in the Spring of 1861 he sold his farming tools and live stock and r-nted out the country place. Mrs. Grant left the log houae in the country wi h Its low bedroom story and appearances of pioneer poverty, and, coming Into town, to<>k a house at 825 a month in an ubplcaHaut quarter near the river. Eleven years before, she had been manied to her husband in a respect able house In the beet quatter. She had strong qualities and believed tint there was som-dhlng in Grant if he was kept up to his work. Giant had -chills and could hardly walk to the omnibus to ride home of nights, lie finally traded his log house in tbe country and the tract of ground for a frame cottage in the suburbs of St. Louis, on wide i there was a mortgage, of 81,500. This mortgage was assumed by the original owner, who failed to pay It, and While Grant was conduct ing the great siege of Vicksburg he was a party to a email civil suit on this subject In St. Louis. In brief, tire collection firm of'Boggs A Grant could not, keep two families, ami-Grant ap plied for the office of Oouuty Engineer at St. Louis. He 'was rejected, as a Deafocrat--the Board Jheing Republi can.^ Thus the future President of the United Statce was refused by a board of politiciuus the office of keeping the roads of the county in order. Grant afterward said that the moat fortunate thing that ever happened to him was losing this litUe office, that, might have kept him. around the Sr.liouis Court House during the whole war, when he was winning glory by the riversides ot tho South. to make the children's clothes.

We have now traced the distinguish ed man through the long period of his early marriage, obscurity, decay, aud, finally, poverty, down to the last notch In his career. He had not enough In fluence in himself, and with the aid of tbe Dent family, which had.lived so long in St. Louis, to command enough customers to collect rents, nor a mere clerkship under tne city gov- Galena was a town of about 7,000 people, and It whs not bard fur Grant to keep out of notice. His brothers both belonged to the Republican party, but Grant was rather disposed to be a Democrat aud vote for Douglass, until that candidate came to Galena and made a speed), tw which Grant listen ed, aud said that it rather diminished ! Ills sympathies with Douglass. He did not vote at tho Presidential elec- ! tlon of 1860 as far as is known, doubt- ling whether he was u citizen of the .State of Illinois at that time. The night of tbe Presidential election a party sat up at the leather store await ing the returns, and Grant was with them. As soon as the Presidential election was over tho spirit of Weet Point returned to this obscure man, and ho began to fear that there was d mgerln the air and probably civil war. - He wrote a letter at this time to a Iriend in Missouri : “I have no doubt that at least five States will secede from the Union. Then with tho present granny of an Executive (Buchanan) some foolish policy will doubtless be pursued which will give the seceding States the sup port and sympathy of tbe Southern States that don’s go out. You must provide office foe tbe prorslavery sol diers who have come back from Kan sas, or some of them may declare Mis souri out of the Union.” Grant’s ceoviotion deepened, from his knowledge of the Southern temps rameut which he had obtained In the Mexican war. and the feelings of tfltay men who were studying the polidoal situation, that there wontd be a war, and a big one. On the 12th of April came tbe news of hostliltice against FurV 8‘> m P ter . and on the following MoudaYvtbe fall of that poet and the lowering of its flag. Then Grant said: T never expected to be in military life again, but l ^was educated by~ib» hq-had it in his power, never treated himotber than as a respectable ac quaintance.
