There is a young man not a thousand miles away, a good-looking young fellow, who has a sweetheart, and h6 spends two evenings every week in her society. A few nights ago he staid to tho usual hour, and as he passed out tho front door he discovered that it was cloudy and dark. He did not relish the idea of going homo quite a ways through tho gloomy night, and hinted about a good deal to get an invitation to remain, but it was not forthcoming. Bat tho young man was equal to the emergency. Going down tho steps ho artfully contrived to slip and fall gently to tho ground. There upon ho pet up a tremendous groaning. Tho ruse worked admirably. The girl screamed, tho men folks jumped out of bed and carried the young man tenderly into tho house. He "was assisted to un dress and deposited in the spare cham ber. He had hardly begun to chuckle over the success of tho stratagem when tho girl's mother put in an appearance armed with a mustard plaster a foot square and ten-horse drawing power. This she immediately proceded to clap on tho small of the young man's back, where ho had incautiously located tho damage to his frame. For two mortal hours that woman sat by tho bed, and was not satisfied till sho beheld with her own eyo a blister an inch deep. The young man is now a reformed liar. All About & I'alr of Shoes. A girl known as Mollie Waters who had been ax rested in Portland on a charge of larceny and brought back here for trial, was before Justice Goodell yes terday. It appears that some time ago another girl named Kitty Wilson had bought a pair of shoes and asked tho Waters girl to break them in for her which sho did. Both girls wero employed at Geo. Hill's dive and tho Waters girl left for Portland without much formal leave taking last Tuesday, sending word wboro tho shoes donld bo found and taking nothing with her but her own duds. Tho prosecuting witness was a piano player 111 the diye, whoso name is Percy Mead. There being no evidence to substantiate tho charge tho justice very properly taxed tho costs, amounting to forty dollars, on Mead, as it was apparent that tho wholo thing was a put up job to get tho girl back at the expense of tho county. Mead refused to pay tho costs and was prompt ly sent to jail. Later in tho evening tho coin was forthcoming and Mead regained his freedom. d'raat at Chinook tHIc. The death of Grant calls out a good many anecdotes of the general who was in this vicinity a generation ago. An old citizen of Astoria was looking at Grant's picture in The Astociax office yesterday and said: Tho first time I ever saw Grant ho was a captaiu. Ho came to As toria and then across to Chinookvillo where I was keeping a boarding house. Butler Anderson, a brother of Father Powers' wife, and Tom Bealo, inspector of customs for Gen. Adair who was col lector hero at the time, were in the party. Grant said that ho had come down from Vancouver to look for runaway soldiers. Job Lamlev had tho ten pin alloy next to my place, and Grant and Beale rolled ten pins all day. Toward evening an In dian camo along on an old white horso belonging to Jim McCarty. Grant said he wanted a ride on that horse, and started to coax tho Indian to lot him sit up behind. Then Bealo camo out and insisted that ho get oil ana let mm ana Grant have a canter, but the Indian stuck to tho cayase and wouldn't get off. That was in 1854. Tho next timo I saw him was in 1879. when ho came here after his Earopean trip". Liuelileii'h Arnica Salve. Tin: Bkst Sai.vi: in the world for Cuts, Bruies,Sores,Ulcers,Salt Uheum.

Gjusestuxz, Ga., Aug. 1. "He was tho truest a3 well as tho bravest man I ever knew," was the recent remark of Gen. James Longstreet. "A man of un bounded confideuco in human nature, with the greatest sense of modesty and utterly without" guile, the one great American of the present ago who will live in history as typifying tho best ele ments of manhood. As passion cools and prejudice clears away, and politicians are relegated to obscurity, then the fig ure of Grant will stand out in bold re lief, second only to that of Washington." Gen. Longstreet live3 in a large two story frame houso, set in the midst of an elevated grove about two miles from this city. Upon the airy porch of his coun try mansion, his cheeks fanned by tho breeze from the Blue ltidgo heights, his form enveloped in a many colored dressing-gown, General Longstreet enjoys tho peaceful days which have but little in them to recall tho memory of the trench es on the well-fought fields between Washington and ltichmond. His form, ouco so erect and soldierly, and the ap pearance of which was wont to be greet ed with cheors by the bravo boys in gray as ho rode down tho line, is now bulky and bowed; but his eyes still have tho same look of dogged determination as in tho davs when they refused to seo defeat, and snached victory from tho very des pair of desperation! When your corres pondent found him, he was examining his grapo-vines, and looked for tho world liko tho good old countryman who never looked upon a field of carnage Passing his hand over his forehead, as if in painful meditation, ho mado use of tho words with which this chapter was opened. TJIE EAJUYIT DAYS AT WEST POINT. I well remember tho delicate and fragile form of tho boy who, in 1839, nusweied to tho roll call when tho name Grant was repeated. Wo wero a boist erous set who filled tho classes that year, and my physique and exuberance of spirit led xr.s to be among tho leaders of every sport and diversion. Tho delicate stranger was not of our mold; his build and his want of strength did not war rant his becoming ono of oor unruly gang. Instead of forming for him tho dislike so apt to bo entertained for one not given to manly sports, wo grew to admire hismodesty,hisinanliness, and tho evident spirit winch was at tho bottom of his character. In ono trait, however, he excelled. Ho was tho most daring horseman in tho wholo command and the wonder has often been expressed that he did not gravitate into the cavalry branch of the service. In 1812 1 graduat ed and was assigned to duty as second lieutenant in the 4lh Infantry, then sta tioned at Jefferson barracks, twelve miles from St. Louis. The year follow ing, 1813, Grant followed and waa at tached to tho samo regiment. UAniLVCK UFE TINOED WITH BOUAXCK. "Theso early days," said Longstreet, as ho settled in tho great easy chair which stood on his front porch, while the reporter throw himself on tho banis ter railings, "recall a delightful period. As I think over tho names, how many have risen to fame, how many have failed, how many have gone bayond, by war and death in other forma, until no y, the cue who becamo the greatest of all has passed to his rest. Thus it is with huxuanity. Well," said he, "to return to our subject. Lieut. Grant's distinguish- in" trait at that timo waa his simple per formance of duty, without show of au thority or offensive manner, and his scrupulous regard for the feelings of o til ers. So perfect was his sense of honor, that in tho numerous cabals that wero formed, his name was never mentioned, for he never did anything which could bo made tho subject of criticism or re proach. Grant confided in me, pcrhap3, more than in any other officer in tho bar racks. On ono occasion, meeting Grant coming out of tho barracks, 1 siid to him: " 'Grant, I wish you would coma with mo on a visit to a kinsman.' "Ho roadily assented. When wo reached the mansion of my kinsman we wero heartily received, and tho family were introduced ono by one, as they re turned from their daily dnties. At last tho musical volco of a young woman was heard in the hall, and an instant later tho lad3 was in tho room. " 'Miss Julia Dent,' said I, as I took my pretty kinswoman's hand, and she blushed deeply as sho bowed to " .Lieut. Grant!' "A little later Cadet Fred Dent entered, and while I engaged him in conversation, in which tho old psoplo joined, meat. Grant and Miss Julia were forming tho ties tho last chapter of which ma' be seen in the weeping widow now bending over tho dead body of her husband in New York city. After that day Miss Ju lia Dent was one of tho most frequent dancers at our military balls. It is only a few months ago that Mrs. Grant re called to mo a story of that period, show ing how they used to teaso her about tho young lieutenant. On ono occasion sho went to one of tho balls under tho escort of some other officer, when it was noticed that Lioat. Grant was absent. Lieut. Hoskins, with a most doleful expression on his face, went np to her and asked: "Miss Julia, where is that little man with tho.largo epaulettes?" "This caused asmiloat thooxpsnsa-of tho 3'oung lady, but sho cluug to her vonn lieutenant, and in 1818 they were marrieu. a uau ucen mnrrieu just six months at the timo mysolf, and, as tuo one who had originally introduced the couple, was an honored guest upon tho occasion. BHEA.KING CAMP FOB SCENE J OF WAU. "Tho holiday at old Camp Jefferson, however, had coxno to an end. There was trouble in Texas, and the Mexicans were committing outrages which called for suppression at tho hands of tho Unit- ed States. In 1814 tho 4th Itegiment camped at Fort Salubrity, in Louisiana, as part of tho army of observation, and in 1845, as part of tho army of occupa tion, was stationed at Corpus Christ i, Tex. At theso two points we found life verv different from that at Jefferson barrcks. Tho absenca of tho civilizing presence of women, tho relaxation of so cial restraint, the absence of books, pa pers, amusements and all mean3 of giv ing variety to life, throw tho officers upon themselves for company. In thoso dull days we would organize games which, in tho absence of anything batter, be came of absorbing intarest. Chief among them was tho game of brag, next, 5-cent ante, and then similar divertisements. Entering upon ono of theso games in the earlv morning, wo would bo found Ftill at them bv candle lizht. Tho loss of 75 cents in the day was esteemed a singular misfortune. I must say that tho losses often fell to Grant, for ho was but a poor player. Feats of horsemanship also en tered into our pleasure. At Corpus Chrieli the Mexicans used to bring in wild horses which they would sell for $2 or $3, so that frequently ovory officer m tho camp would bo mounted on theso dangerous animals, and often came near breaking their necks. On ono occasion a Mexican brought in a singularly vic ious looking brute. There was fire in his eye and a warning to bewaro in his wholo demeanor. Ono by ono tho officers passed him by and refused to risk their lives with him. At last Grant bantered the crowd and bought tho animal. The custom wa3 to blindfold the horses after they had been saddled and bridled. As soon as Grant had mounted, howevor, ho throw off the blind, and away he rode through tho chapperal at as fearful rate. Forthreo hours horodo up and down, through wood and field, and never once lost his seat, and when he rodo back into camp tho horso was thoroughly tamed. Tho story of that fearful ride was for years a legend in army circles. "From Texas tho 4th Regiment found its way into Mexico, as part of the army of invasion. Grant wa3 made quarter master of the 4th, while I was assigned to duly as adjutant of tho Sth, and as tha regiments wero in separate brigades, we saw but little of each other, At the battlo of Molina del Roy, howover, I had occasion to note his superb courage uuder fire. Ho looked and moved about as unconcerned as if it wero a mero hail storm. So remarkable was his bearing that mention of it was made in the offi cial reports, and I heard his colonel say on tho field, while pointing out tho im perturbable othcer, 'Ihero stands a man of Utc PLATIXO THE OLD GAME OVEB. "After tho Mexican war Grant's duty fed him to tho Pacific coast, and thus years passed away. In 1853 1 visited St. Louis on business. There I met Capt. Holloway and other old army chums. Tho day was cold and dreary, so taking a room in tho Planters' hotelf wo talked over our old campaigns, when it was proposed a gamo of brag would best recall tho old memories. It was found, how over that wo wero ono hand short, when Holloway remarked: "Wait a moment, boys, and I will go out and pick up some ono." "In a few moments he returned bring ing with him a civilian poorly dressed, in whom wo soon recognized our old friend Grant, who had resigned from the service, and who was making an unsuc cessful battlo for existence in civil life. Tho next day, whilo I was standing in front of tbo Planters' hotel. Grant stepped up and putting a $5 gold piece in my nanu, ioiu mo it was u ueoc 01 uonor of our Texan days. " 'No,' said I, 'I will not take it. You are now out of service, and need it.' 'But you must take it,' said Grant, determinedly. 'I will not have what does not belong to mo.' "Seeing that ho was . thoroughly in earnest, and to savo him from mortifica tion I accepted it, and shaking hands wo parted. A STHASOE BEUXIOX. "The next timo I met Grant was at Ap pomattox. "And the first thing ho said to me, putting his arm within niino, as wo stepped aside after tho formalities, was: " Pete- (my nrm3 sobriquet), let us ro relum to the happy old days by playing another game or brag.' " 'Great Godr said I to myself, 'why will men fight who were born to bo broth ers?' "And I never loved Grant half as well as I did at that hour. "During tho war our forces had never met immediatly, but once at tho battle of the Wilderness. In tho winter cara- naitra of 1SM-3. however, an. incident oc enrred in which wo wero brought into re lation. Gen. E. O. C. Urd commanded tho Federal wing opposing my line, j whilo Grant commanded that opposing I Gen. Lee. Ous day a flag of truco from Ord brought mo a message, requesting ' an interview for tho purpose of putting an onu 10 ine 100 great ianiiiuruy wuicu had sprung up between tho men of tho two armies. 'Your men,' wrote G2n. Ord. 'are doing a lively trado in tobacco, whilo mina are doing a good business in sugar. I think It best for both nrmies that this should stop.' Tho interview took place, when un agreement was read ily reached. Then the real object of the parley was broached. " 'Gen. Grant,' said Gen. Ord, 'sees that the politicians on both sides aro afraid to movo in tho matter of peace. He thinks a movement might bo inaugu rated by the general officors of both ar mies which would havo its offect upon the politicians, and show them that tho men in tho field wero tired of carnage. He would liko to talk this matter over with Gen. Lee, so thn't all might act in concert. To reach this plan he asks you to send for Mrs. Longstreet and lot her pay a visit to Mrs. Grant, who is now at the headquarters. Let her bo accompan ied by as many officers of 3'our Btaff as 3'ou can spare. Let theso officers movo freely about, talking with our men. In return Mrs. Grant will visit Mrs. Long street at 3'our headquarters, accompanied by a number of federal officers. Under tho cover of theso meetings Gen. Grant and Gen. Leo will bo thrown together. These consultations will force tho politi ticians to mako similar overtures.' "In reply to this proposition I gavo it my approval, but stated that I had no authonty to act. I would report it to ItichmonU, nowever, anu secure action. Tho plan found tho then secretary of war, John C. Breckenridge, who urged me to havo Mrs. Longstreet ready for tho trip. Sho was given a letter by Gen. Lee, which I was to read beforo it went on its mission. In that letter Gen. Leo asked for a diroct conference for tho purpose of considering definite articles of peace. As this was not in accordance with Gen. Grant's requo t, and a3 1 know he had no moro authority to consider such articles than I had, 1 wont to Gon. Leo and urged such a modification of tho request as would give Grant room to act. " Nib,ireplied Gen. Lee, 'I will assign none but tho real reason; I am opposed to diplomac3V "Tne letter was sent as written. As I predicted, Grant replied that ho had no authority to act. Whilo awaiting Grant's reply. Gen. Lea said to me: " 'There is nothing ahead of us but to surrender.' "It was thus that the fatal day came, upon which, as ono of tho confederate commissioners to arrange for the surren der, I mot Grant at Appomattox. In his wholo bearing toward us on that occasion Gen. Grant treated us kindly, never once referring to our defeat, but treating ns as though nothing whatever had hap pened to mar tho relations which existed by tho old camp fires in Texas and Mexi co. onANT AFrca inc wab. "After the war,' said Gen. Longstreet, "the ex-confederato officers had no bet ter friend than Grant. When the federal court in ltichmond was about to order the indictment of Gen. Leo and myself, Grant interposed and said: 'They are under parole, and my word is pledged for their safety.' Thu3 he saved the ex con federates from tho wholesale indictments which would havo followed. "InlSGGI had business which called mo to Washington, nnd I availed myself of the chance to make a friendly visit to Grant at his offiao. When leaving, he followed mo to the door nnd asked me to visit bis family that evening. I did bo, and, when about to depart, ho followed me into tbo hall and said: " 'Longstreet, don't you want an am- nestyT " Yes,' I reolied, 'but I havo no hope of ever getting it.' " 'Mako out your application and call on mo at my office at noon to-morrow. In tho meantime I will Bee President Johnson and Secretary Stanton, and will see to it that you get your amnesty.' "At the timo appointed I met him. Ho had already seen the president and tho secretary,and assured mo that tho mat ter was assured. Ho indorsed my appli cation by asking for it as a special per sonal favor to himself. Later, wnon Gen. Grant bad been elected president, but beforo his inauguration, I called to congratulate him. when he said: " 'Longstreet, I want you to come and see mo after my inauguration and tell mo what you want.' "After tho inauguration I was walking up Pennsylvania avenue ono day, when a friend who met me informed mo that the president had sent in my name to the senate for the surveyors hip of the port of New Orleans. The nomination was hung np for threo weeks. I went to tho president and begged him to with draw it, as I did not wish his personal friendship for mo to interfere with his administration. " Givo yourself no trouble about that, he answered; 'the senators have as many favors to ask of mo as I havo of them, and I will see to it that you are con firmed.' "To sum up Grant's wholo character," said Gen. Longstreet, "is a very simple task. Ho was an honest, simple man, who did his duty, never schemed, and if any villainy was connected with any transaction of his it was always found to bo tho work of some designing wretch who had imposed upon his confidence. He was above small ideas and small thing3, and ho will stand in history as tho foremost man of his timo." VANQUISHED OSLY BY DEATH. Not by tho ball or brand, Sped by a mortal hand; Not by tho lightning stroke, When fiery tempests broke; Not 'mid the ranks of war Fell tho great conqueror. Unmoved, undismayed In tho crash and carnage of the cannon- nade: Eye that dimmed not, Hand that failed not, Brain that swerved not, Heart that quailed not Steel nerve, iron form, The dauntless spirit that o'erruled the storm. Whilo tho hero peacefully slept A foeman to his chamber crept, Lightly to tho slumberor came, Touched his brow and breathed his name. O'er tho stricken brow there passed Suddenly an icy blast. Tho hero woke; rose undismayed; Saluted death and sheathed his blado. Tho conqueror of a hundred fields To a mightier conqueror yields, No mortal foeman's blow Laid the great soldier low.
