TWO GREAT GENERALS.
Tho Secret of tho 3urly Friendship
lJntwecn Grnnt nml Ilancoclt, and
Tliclr Subsequently railing
Out.
Gen. Baileau, writing to The Phila
delphia Press, says: Hancock and
Grant wero at West Point together.
They were good friends there, and Han
cock used to call his future chief by tho
familiar nick-natne of "Sam Grant."
Long afterward, during tho Wilderness
campaign it was the day after the great
attack at Spottsylvania, when Hancock
reported: "I have finished up Johnston
and am now going into Early." Grant
nominated Hancock for brigadier gen
eral in tho regular army. Hancock re
membered the old relationship of the
cadet time, and said to tho brother-in-law
of thegeneral-in-chief, who told him
tho news: "I lovo Sam Grant."
Tho regard was mutual. At ono mo
ment in tho battle of tho Wilderness
things looked very dark; Warren Mas
driven back at the center, and a rush of
stragglers camo hurrying in toward
Grant's headquarters witli the news that
Hancock was routed. Grant was seated
on the ground whittling a-stick; ho sim
ply turned the stick around and whittled
tho other end; and when it was again
reported that Hancock had been driven,
ho said grimly: "I don't beliovo it."
In a few moments word camo directly
contrary to tho earlier rumor. Instead
of retreating Hancock had pushed the
enemy. Then Grant looked up, and
said witli as much enthusiasm as I over
knew him to betray: "Hancock's a
glorious soldier."
He never changed his opinion. Han
cock was always given tho advanco of
tho exposed position. Ho boro the
brunt of the battle of tho Wilderness;
lie made three terrible assaults at Spott
sylvania; lie led the inarch to tho North
Anna; lie was in the thickest at Cold
Harbor. His troops wero tho first of
the Army of the Potomac to come up
before Petersburg, and in tiio subsequent
movements on both sides of tho James,
at Deep Bottom, and at the explosion
of Burnside's mine always, until tho
opening of the old wound compelled him
to leave tho field, Hancock was given
the command which required tho most
superb daring, tho clearest head, tho
most sustained military ability. More
than onco I hoard Gen. Grant say that
if Meado were removed ho should give
tho command of the Army of the Poto
mac to Hancock.
In the march from Cold Harbor to
the James, Grant's headquarters came
up with Hancock at the point whero
Long Bridgo had onco crossed tho
Chickahominy. While tho troops wero
passing tho commanders dismounted,
and Grant, Hancock, and Meado wero
sketched on tho grass together with
their officers around. Never were threo
great soldiers moro in complete person
al accord. Thero was no assumption
on the part of Grant, and tho feeling of
camaraderie was perfect. They dialled
each other; they told stories of West
Point and tho frontier; they discussed
tho movemcnt'iu which tiioy wero en
gaged; and finally Meade referred to
some resolutions of a Pennsylvania con
vention nominating Hancock for the
presidency. Botli Grant and Meade
poked fun at Hancock for this, and he
good naturcdly received it all. Indeed,
it rather tickled him.
Ho was not appointed a brigadior in
tho regular army for Spottsylvania, but
Grant was persistent and in August
nominated him again. This time tho
promotion was conferred.
In 18C6 tho grado of general was
created for Grant. This mado Sher
man lieutenant general and left a
vacancy among the major generals, to
which Grant promptly appointed Hnn
cock, who thus received both of his pro
motions to the rank of general from his
old cadet comrade.
During tho reconstruction period they
wero on different sides. Grant belioved
that congress was right in tho long
6trugglo with Andrew Johnson, but
Hancock espoused tho cause of the
president. Grant at first had no sus
picion of tho leaning of Hancock, and
when it becamo apparent that Mr.
Johnson was determined to rcmovo
Sheridan from command at New Or
leans and substituto Hancock, tho gen-eral-in-chief
sent a staff officer to warn
him of tho purpose of tho president nnd
of what ho considered its mischievous
tendency. Hancock, however, was or
dered by Johnson to report at Washing
ton beforo ho went to Now Orleans.nnd
Grant, who was now convinced that
Johnson's courso was full of danger to
tho country, wont in person to visit
Hancock at his rooms in Willard's ho
tel to put him on his guard. But Han
cook had already determined on his
conduct, nnd was not to bo affected by
Grant's advico or urging.
From this time their relations wero
strained. Hancock proceeded to Now
Orleans against tho wish of Grant, de
termined to carry out Mr, Johnson's.
policy, which his gencral-in-chiof be
lieved to bo almost treasonable, and
which lie was directed by congress to
thwart. Hancock constantly issued
orders in conformity witli tho views of
tho president, which Grant as constant
ly overruled. Finally Hancock asked
to bo relieved and the request was
granted.
They novcr again had any pleasant
intercourse. There wero times when
each supposed the other had
been discourteous. Grant was told that
Hancock camo to his headquarters, and
wrote his name without paying his
general in chief tho courtesy of a fur
ther visit, and remarks of each wero
repeated to tho other not calculated to
encourage amiable sentiments. But
there was no positivo hostility.
When Hancock was nominated for
the presidency Grant, in tho privacy of
his own house at Galena, uttered somo
caustic criticisms to an indicreet visi
tor, which tho same day were telegraph
ed lo tho entire world. Among oilier
tilings ho said that Hancock was "am
bitious, vain and weak." Hancock at
first refused to believe that Grant had
used tho words; but, though they wero
never meant for the public, Grant could
not and would not disavow them when
the reporters rushed for confirmation
or denial. Then Hancock was very
much pained, and I doubt whether a
reconciliation could ovor have been
effected.
In his last days Gen. Grant moro
than onco spoke to mo of this circum
stance, and regretted the pain ho had
given Hancock. Ho was generous in
his praise, and, though ho criticised
what ho thought foibles and graver
faults, ho declared that ho ought
not to have used tho words which
Hancock disliked. This Hancock nev
er knew; but witli equal nobility ho
bore his part in tiie great funeral over
his ancient chief and comrade. Tho
majestic character of thoso rites that
attracted tho attention of tho world
was greatly due to tho tender caro and
chivalrous punctilio of him who
thought the dead chieftain had wound
ed him.
The two soldiers have fought their
last fight and ended every difference
Each at the last was full of soldierly
and brotherly generosity for tho other.
Ho Did Something.
The owner of a sample-room on Ran
dolph street was giving his tumblers a
warm batli yesterday when a little, old
man entered, felt in all his pockets two
or three times over, and then said:
"I was looking for my card, but I
guess I've lost it My name is J. Walsh
White."
"I doan' hear of you, I guess," said
tho saloonist as ho stopped work to givo
him a looking over.
"Perhaps not, but that is immaterial.
You have probably observed by tho
daily press that our great men arc pass
ing away?"
"Vhell der Sherman papers saidt dot
Hancock vhus doadt."
"He is, poor man! and so is Grant,
Seymour, MeClollan and a host of oth
ers. Sherman will soon follow, and in
a few brief years the last of the great
statesmen and soldiers will bo no moro
on earth."
"What shall you do aboudt him?"
asked tho man as ho wiped tho last
tumbler of the lot
"Why, I propose a grand memorial
to their memory. I am tho original
proposer. My idea is to erect some
thing of bronze and granite something
which can never per "
"Und you liko to haf mo do some
dings?" interrupted tho saloonist as ho
wiped tho bar.
"Why, yes. Anything you can do to
forward the movement will reflect credit
on your patriotism."
"Dot's how I belief," ho said as ho
came from behind tho bar. Walking
up to tho original proposer ho took him
by ths neck, pushed him to tho door,
opened it and fired him out into four
dogroes below zero In a way that meant
business. Then ho said:
"You'd potter pass avuhy, too, or I
call for a boliccmans to make you!"

"THE SANCY DIAMOND.
Interesting History of a l'nmous
ltrllliiint.
One of tho best known diamonds in
Europe down to the closo of tho last
century was the famous Saucy. As in
tho case with all prominent gems of
Ibis species, many legends, some of a
pleasant some of a painful character,
iro connected with it. Ono legend of
the Saucy is thus narrated:
Tho beautiful diamond inventoried as
the Saney, and of the weight of 311 12-10
carats, and valued at 1,000,000 francs,
was stolen and never recovered. This
gem has been associated with tho for
tunes of tho redoubtable Burgundian
warrior, Charles the Bold; and its his
tory has done more to perpetuate his
name than the record of all his mis
deeds and his desperate battles. To
prove, however, that this is tho identi
cal gem lost by the Swiss will be a dif
ficult task, for the antiquario have
unearthed more Saney diamonds than
there were Kichmouds in tho field. The
namo of Saney has, indeed, become
famous by embracing in ono story tho
fortunes of threo distinct gems. Tho
erudite King has patiently traced out
the traditions connected with tho namo
Saney, and appears to provo that threo
stories instead of ono aro included in
the history of Baron Saney. But the
3tone that was stolen from tho French
casket in 1792 is inventoried at the
weight of 33 12-1G carats, while tho
gem that has lately gone . back to India,
and is supposed to bo the stolen gem,
weighs quite 51 carats. Here is a new
mystery for tho antiquaries to clear
away; or did llelattro and his associates,
who made out this inventory with ex
ceeding care, write thirty instead of
fifty-three? The histories of theso dia
monds aro so interesting that wo will
attempt to repeat them hero, following,
in part, tho views of King. Not long
after the invention, by Borquen, of diamond-cutting
by tho process of abra
sion, Charles tho Bold, then in tho full
blazo of martial glory, submitted to him
throe large rough diamonds. Tho na
tive" of Bruges succeeded so well in pol
ishing them that Charles presented him
witli tho princely sum of 3,000 ducats.
Ono of theso gems Charles gavo to
Pope Soxtus IV., and it was mounted in
the tiara, whero it is said to remain.
Tho second was presented to Louis XI.
of France; while the third was reserved
by tho Burgundian hero, and set in gro
tesque manner to be worn as a personal
ornament This jewel, of true barbaric
design was formed of a triangular
shape, with tho newly cut diamond
in the center. This diamond
was live-eighths of an inch
in its wildest diameter, and was
shaped as a pyramid, with tho apex cut
into a four-rayed star in relief. Around
the gem was set threo largo Balais ru
bies and four magnificent pearls, each
more than half an inch in diameter. Ono
of the Fuggor family, in 155.0, mado a
careful drawing of the jewel, with a
written description of it, and theso were
afterward published by Lembcccius in
his "Bibliotheca Ciesarea;" so thero can
be no doubt about the appearanco of
the original diamond of Charles the
Bold in its early days. When tho duke
led his band of freebooters into Switzer
land on his long-projected foray, ho
took most of his gems along with him,
not dreaming of disaster, and probably
loving to viow his treasures even amid
tho hardships of tho campaign. Hough
soldiers aro sometimes as fond of tho
beautiful in art and nature as moro del
icato and refined organizations, and
Charles tho Bold and Souvaroff aro not
tho only examples. Tho terrific on
slaught of tho Swiss at Grandson
crushed tho Burgundian ranks so quick
ly that Charles had only timo to escape
with his sword, leaving all his cherished
treasures in tho hands of tho dauntless
mountaineers.
"In tho sack of tho camp which
speedily followed tho rout, a soldier
found tho golden box in which tho fa
mous pendant was kept, but regarding
tho jowcl as a gaudy and worthless
bauble, ho tossed it away under a wagon
and retained tho box only, Shortly af
terward ho began to suspect that tho
contents of so beautiful a box must have
somo value, and, returning to tho
place, ho recovered tho despised jewel.
Ho did not long after retain his treas
ure, but sold it to a priest for 1 florin.
The priest also did not appear to have a
high regard for his purchase, for he dis
posed of it to tho magistrates of his own
canton for 3 francs. When it became
known that tho Bernese government
hod possession of tho duke's famous
jewels, Jacob Fugger, ono of tho mem
bers of the celebrated Nuremberg fam
ily, went to Berne and negotiated for
their purchase, Tho famous pendant,
together with the duke's cap, which was
made of milk covered with pnails and
Balais r bios, and a plume casu Mil wliii
diamond . pearls, nnd Balais ruble
were blit for the tinn of 4.7,jQ)
francs. Fugger retained tho pendant
in his possession at Nuremberg for
many years, indulging in tho hope, it
has been said, that tho duko's great
grandson, tho Emperor Charles V.,
would uurchoso it as a family relic.
When tho celebrated capitalist died the
ornament was still in his possession,
but bis great-nephew, who inherited tho
jewel, sold it to Henry VIII. of Eng
land. After tho death of this monarch
his daughter presented the diamond to
her bridegroom, and thus, by a remark
able coincidence, and after an absence
of seventy-six years, tho royal gem was
again restored to the rightful heir of its
original owner. SI. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Astor Estates.
John Jacob Astor left the bulk of his
property to William in trust for his two
sons, William and John Jacob, this be
ing as extended an entail as our laws
permit. William was a very faithful
trustee, but in atlditilion lie accumula
ted a half dozen millions of his own.
This lie bequeathed to his sons in trust
for their children, thus repenting his
father's plan. On William's death the
two sons made a division of their grand
father's estate, this being tho most im
portant act of partition that over oc
curred in America. The most curious
featuro in this affair is the secrecy with
which it was done. It was an immense
task to divido such a vast and varied
estate into two equal parts; but it was
olfeeted in a manner that must have
been mutually satisfactory. It is sup
posed that the property was carefully
inventoried by tho clerks ami then
soparated into two portions as equally
as possiblo and then tho clioico drawn
by lot. At any rate tho Astor House
fell to John Jacob, who is generally
thought to havo the best slice. The
brothers always preserved amity, and
when the dissolution took place tiioy
erected adjoining offices in Twenty
sixth street. John Jacob soon after
wards placed all his property in the
hands of Waldorf, who now is tho rich
est man for his ago in America. Tho
advance on tho valuation may bo given
as follows: John Jacob died wortli
$20,000,000. When William died
(twenty-seven years afterwards) tho es-
tato was worth at least thrico that sum,
and its increase since then will mako
each of the brothers worth $'50,000,000,
This may bo considered certainly well
to do in the world.
Ono reason why tho Astor brothers
havo adjoining offices is found in the
common ownership of the deeds, maps
and leases belonging to tho estate
which cannot be divided. These form
a library in themselves and aro very
interesting to the antiquarian, us show'
inr how New York was laid out in the
olden time. A still greater curiosity is the
Iittlo four-wheeled wooden wagon
which is used in bringing tho old books
into the ofiice for reference. It is made
in tho rudest and cheapest manner, the
wheels being sawed out of a board, but
it has served this purposo for more
than half a century, and old John Jacob
loved his "book wagon" more than hit
couch. This collection of maps and
leases is of much valuo in real estate
searches, but only a favored few aro
permitted to examine them. Ncio York

Students as Hotel Waiters.
A Bowdoin college student, who says
ho has been there gives in The Orient
his views on tho ronianco and profit ol
spending tho summer vacation as a
hotel waiter. Ho says the summer
months are given tho student to rejuven
ate his mental faculties and tone up his
physical constitution, and seems t
think the ono is not accomplished by
association with the help usually em
ployed around hotels, or tho other by
sleeping in laundries or under bowling
alleys, As to tho financial success o
the scheme ho is equally skeptical, hie
experience seeming to have been tha
the cooks got the greater part of hi
perquisites or wages, emphasizing their
demands, when he was disposed to be
less generous than tiioy wished, by
furnishing such poor food nt tho tabic
presided over by him that tho guests
rose in rebellion. He was forbidden to
talk to any of tho guests, and ordered
to keep in tho buck part of tho house.
It is to be presumed that next season
ho will seek somo moro congenial field,
perhaps a Maine hayiield. Thou again,

on fees, is mentally If not financially

THE ANCIENT PUEBLO.
Its l'nst History, Itcsourccs, nnd Fu
ture Prospects.
Tho honorable pueblo (Tucson) has
always prided itself on its antiquity. It
claims, I believe, to be tho third oldest
town in tho United States, tho only two
which are stiil moro vcncrablo and nn
tiquo being San Augustine, Fla., nnd
Santa IV, New Mexico. It was about
throe hundred vears ago when tho first
settlers of whom history speaks camo
hither. Somo of Tucson's present old
est inhabitants who belong to the hon
orable society of pioneers look as if
they might have conio hero about tho
samo time. They have, at any rate, re
tained many of tho simple manners nnd
customs of that period.
Tucson, is pre-eminently an adobo
town. In Tombstono tho adobo houses
arc tastefully disguised to simulate slono
or brick. Thero is no false pretense ot
that sort here; it is pure and una
dulterated mud. They havo not used
it all, either; thero is plenty of it left
n the streets.
Tho ancient pueblo pursued tho even
tenor of its way for several hundred
years, nothing happening to disturb its
peaceful slumber with exceptions of
'.ho passage of somo of the Ml) gold
seekers until five years ago, amidst
great rejoicing from t he majority and
secret misgivings on tho part of somo
old-timers, tho shrill whistle of tho iron
horse camo to wako tho city from its
Hip Van Winklo sleep. From that timo
modern Tucson rates its start The ar
rival of the railroad put an end to the
good old-fashioned days of ox-teams
from Yuma, when nothing less than a
two-bit piece was known, and if a per
son growled at paying a quarter for a
needle, it was all laid lo the high froight
Tho old tirnis coming into competition
with modern methods one by ono went
to tho wall. Tucson went in for lino
buildings and a big debt, liko any giddy
young city in her tcons. ,
Tho reaction from the railroad boom
toon came. Tucson allowed tho So
nora railroad to bo built to Bonson, and
tho Moxiean trade fell off. A number
of grand mining schemes resulted dis
astrously to the investors. Things were
looking very bluo indeed two years
ago, when camo tho Quijotoa oxcitc
mont. Tucson thought that her good
days had thon sur.ely como. Quijotoa
was to bo another Virginia City, to
which Tucson would play San Francis
jo. Two or threo telegrapii lines, as
tinny stago lines, and several projected
railroads wero flighting for a sharo of
tho great prospective trado. A mile ot
Urcot was built at tho "Bonanza city,"
tho monoy for which camo mainly from
Tucson, although Quijotoa contributed
a good many dollars. Tho writer, who
was rather more of a lunatic than thu
rest, took out a big nowspupor outfit
end supplied a "long felt want." After
t weary two years of hopes deferred,
that have made many a heart sick, the
end has come. The bubble has burst,
nnd all who could beg, borrow, or steal
a ride on any mode of conveyance, from
a burro to a lumber wagon, havo left
tho city of tho near future. Arizona

Weaving Sunshine.
"You can't guess, mamma, what
Grandma Davis said to me this morning,
when 1 carried her the flowers and tho
basket of apples!" exclaimed Iittlo Mary
Price, as she camo running into tho

"1 am quite sure, darling," said mam
ma, "that I can not; but I hope it was
something pleasant."
"Indeed it was, mamma," said Mary.
"Sho said, 'Good morning, dear; you
aro weaving sunshine.' I hardly knew
what sho meant at first, but I think I
do now, and I am going to try to weavo
sunshine overy day."
"Mother," concluded Mary, "don't
