Intimately Whan Fame Did Nor. The house in which General Grant, then a lieutenant, was married to Miss Julia Dent on Aujrast 24, 1848, in St. Louis, is still standing on Cerre street. St. Louis. It has been turned into a boarding house, and there is very little now in the grimy and di lapidated appearance to suggest the elegance which characterized it in the days when it was the residence of the Dents. Tho bridal couple did not make this house their home, but after a wedding trip they returned to St. Lonis and lived for some time with Mrs. Grant's parents at their farm. It was there, .at tho residence known as "Wish-ton-Wish, that their daughter Nellie (now Mrs. Sartoris) was born, as were one or two of the boys. After a prolonged furlough, Lieutenant Grant resumed his army duties, spending part of bis time at Jefferson barracks, where he was lo cated at the time'of his marriage, and part oT. the time elsewhere. In 1852 he was assigned to a post in Oregon territory, whither he took bis wife and children. It was a lonesome place, however, and tho distance from her home and friends was so great that the young wife became an al most constant sufferer from home sickness. She bore it as long as she could, but finally induced her bus. band to send her home. Ho either came with her or soon followed her, having resigned his army commission. This was in 1851. He located with his family out on the Dent farm, Mr. Dent having made his daughter a present of eighty acres and four slaves. They lived there very nicely but Grant did not find the life congenial. Everybody liked him because he was sociable, kindly, and adapted himself to all sorts of company. But nobody pointed him out as a model farmer, and he knew it The chief farming he did was to haul cordwood to town and sell it, on which occasion the very familiar cos tume which clad his gaunt form was a jeans pants, gray woolen shirt, one or two "gallusses," a pair of rawhide boots, a slouch hat and an untrimmed beard. A blacksnake whip made bim complete. Somehow or other he didn't get along very well and he complained beeause he could find nothing to do by which ho could-earn it-fe,f4P4 btEniiyueeBmse jns 'i&mer-in-iaw was cpite well to do, but his pride stood in the way of accepting any more as sistance than was absolutely neces sary. Finally he learned that the county court was about to appoint a new county surveyor, and being quite an expert civil engineer, he wrote an application for the position. Another aspiraut was Col. E. 0. Salomen, ind as Grant was . H possessed of any very prepossessing appearance, or any of the "infiooence" which was as essential then vs now. his application was rejected. Tiring of farm life he moved to St Louis again and rented a house. There the family lived in very nice style, and Grant meantime sought some employment that would enable him to make a living for his growing family. He knew very few people, and, besides, his army life had totally unfitted him for commercial pursuits, so that he found very poor success in his search. His funds began to run low, and after boarding for a time, he moved his family into a very diminu tive cottage. About the time he took up his resi dence in this place he went into part nership with a Mr. Boggs in the real estate business. The stylo of the firm was Grant & Boggs. Their furniture consisted of a pine table and a couple of chairs, and they kept an account book in tho drawer of tho table. An army officer is not a good collector as a rule, and Grant was an exceptional ly bad one, because of his sof Wieart edness, his disposition being to fore go his commission whenever a renter appeared to be in distress. The firm did not prosper and the little office room closed up: He lived for some time longer on .the farm, and then de termined to go over to Galena, where his father was, and assist in the man agement of the old gentleman's tan nery. He could not take slaves into Illinois, so he and his wife gave their four human chattels to JohnF. Long, and moved the balance of their be longings over to the Sucker state in 1857. Soon afterwards tho war broke out and Grant was not long in discov ering that there was at least one way in which he could earn a living and earn itLobly. Ironing Day. The woman with a heavy flat-iron in her hand does not always remem ber that the iron which gives color and richness to her blood is the very same metal as that from which the flat-iron is made, There is no prep aration in the world like Brown's Iron Bitters to give the blood the iron it needs. Mrs. ELB. Crow, Logan, O., says. "I used Brown's Iron Bitters for general debility, and am much benefited." There are 6,000 Indians in Michi gan.

Ci LocacwooD.'New York says: "I have frequently prescribed Scotfa Emulsion and regard it as a val uable preparation in scrofulous and consumptive cases, palatable and effica cious." r-,--liriiri!TtriilTriiiiiMli TWENTY YEARS AGO There i3 in existence a photograph 1 of General Grant which is of pathetic " interest at this moment. It wasta-1 ken during.the last winter of the war. I while the headquarters of the army of the Potomac were at City Point.. The photograph may have betn "instantaneous, for there is no ap-i pearance of posing for it Grant appears in the door of his tont, with' ouo arm - raisea graspiDg. tue ienu pole. He is in the simplest field ttni-' form, the coat is unbuttoned, and he wears the soft hat with tho twisted cord of the service. The face is thin nnd heavy with care, and the whole figure denotes self-forgetfulness, if not dejection. The utter absence of parade, the entire simplicity of the attitude, the rudeness of tho sur roundings, would advise no spectator tnat this was the iron commander of great armies, the man upon whom the hopes of the nation centered at that moment Upon his skill, cool ness, tenacity, unshakable faith, mill ions reposed implicit trust. It was weary waiting; wealth was wasted in streams, debt was accumulating, for eign powers were threatening, treason was brewing, precious life was poured out like water, and the land was full of mourning. This general, silent. inflexible, stands there at his tent door, apparently unconscious of ob servation, not so much looking abroad a3 communing with himself, bearing in every lino of face and figure the impress of the heaviest re sponsibility and vicarious suffering. No note of complaint, no sign of relenting, no consciousness of the show of power, but just St that mo ment a patient endurance in hi3 own wasted person of tho woes of an anxious nation. Upon him at that instant, rested greater responsibility than upon any other living man; up on him centered hopes, entreaties, prayers, curses, bitter criticism, bru tal disparagement Ho is in the attitude of bearing it all with the capacity of suffering and of carrying the burdens of others withont com plaint, which is a mark of greatness. Perhaps if he had failed, perhaps if he had lost his cause and disap pointed the hopes set upon him, this picture to-day might have beenmore utter-pathetic than it is, but remem bering what the man had endured, and was still to suffer before the final triumph of tho people through iim, this simnlo flirara- iamot-wantincr in "fitfyoftne heroic elements that touch the hearts of men. THE CAPTCRE OP NEW ORLEANS. From the (Jenlury war papers we quote tue following from the paper by (ieorgo Uable, on ".Now Orleans Be fore the Capture," in the April num ber: "What a gathering! The riff-raff of the wharves, the town, the gutters. Such women such wrecks of women! And all the juvenile rag-tag. The lower steamboat landing, well cov ered with sugar, rice and molasses, was being rifled. The men smashed : the women scooped up the smashings. Tlie river was oveniowmg tue top of me levee, a. ram Btorm oegan to threaten. 'Are the Yankee ships in sight?' I asked of 'an idler. He pointed out the tops of their nnked masts as they showed up across the huge bend of tho river. They were engaging the batteries at Camp Glial- mette the old field of Jackson's re nown. Presently that was over. Ah, me! I seo them now as they come slowly around Slaughter house point into full view, silent, so grim and ter rible: black with men, heavy with deadly portent; the long-banished Stars and Stripes flying against the frowning sky. Oh, for the ATississip' pis the Jlisiissippi! Just tlreu she came down upon upon them. But how! Drifting helplessly a mass of flames. 'The crowds on tho levee howled and screamed with rage. The swarm ing decks answered never a word; but one old tar on the Hartford, stand ing with a lanyard in hand beside a great pivot-gun, so plain to view that you could see him smile, silently 1atted its big black breech nnd bland y grinned. "And now tho rain came down in sheets. About 1 or 2 o'clock in the afternoon (as I remember), I being again in the store with but one door ajar, camo a roar of shoutings and imprecations and crowding feet down Common street 'Hurrah for Jeff Davis!. 'Shoot them! Kill them! Hang themP I locked the door on the outside and ran to the front of tho mob, bawling with the rest, 'Hur rah for Jeff Davis!' About every third man there had a weapon out. Two officers of the United States navy were walking abreast, unguard ed and alone, looking not to right or left, never frowning, never flinching, while the mob screamed in their ears, shook cocked pistols in their faces, cursed and crowded and gnashed upon them. So through tho gates of death those two men walked to the city hall to demand the town's sur render. It was one of the bravest deeds I ever saw done." Kichard Bell, engineer, Jefferson ville, Ind., states: "I contracted mercurial rheumatism from the vapors oi amalgamating pans. All my teeth becoming loose, it . finally settled in my ankles and joints, and for nearly twenty years I have been troubled with it I used St- Jacobs Oil, and it has entirely cured me."
