R'jbert E, Lee's Traveller, a "chunky gray horse" , as described to the writer by Sheridan, who saw him on the day of the sur render at Appomattox. He was pur chased by the great soldier during his campaign in West Viginia in 1861. Traveller was slightly over sixteen hands high, a little above half bred, well developed, of great courage and kindness, not possessing speed, and carrying his head well up. He liked the excitement of liattle, and at such times was a superb and typical war horse. Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, In a communication, says: "Lee had a habit of going about to places in battle where he had no bus iness to be, and Traveller enjoyed it. On one occasion, when Goriloa'a di vision was forming to attack an earth work, the ajsaulting column covered by a heavy artillery fire, which,' of course, concentrating a heavy fire on it, General Lee, and Traveller ap peared. Gordon, in his impulsive way, rode straight at them, saying, 'General Lee, this Is no place for you. The men won't 'go forward 'unless you go back.' Well, Geuerel,.- plied Lee, 'I will go baclt iflhe men think I should and you desire it, but he soliloquized as he-rode to the rear to his staff offl "era and courier, 'I would like to know where my proper place is in battle. Where ever I go I am told that it is not the place for me. I really wish that some one would inform me where my proper place is, Lee anil Trav eller then jogged along until they were beyond Gordon's sight, and there halted to watch an attack on the right." After the war. General Lee became president of Washington ami Lee University. For Ore years, Until his death, the illustrious Virginian daily rode or fel Traveller. At his funeral Traveller was equipped for service and was placed close to the hearse. When the flower-eovered coffiin was earned out the faithful horse put his non on it and whinciled! Traveller survived his master lor two years, "uru a u'aii penetrated his right fore, foot while grazing iu a pasture field, ami although the nail was immedi ately removed, and everything done that was possible to save him, lock jaw was develoiied, ami he died dur ing the Hummer of IS":!. Traveller was buried In Lexington, not far distant from LaVs last resting place. Ho far as I am aware, no comman der evpr p;)ssesse'J ec valuatle a horse asCindnnati Oen. Grant's favorite eliaiger after the battle of Chattanoo ga. Previous to that brilliant aud decisive engagement, the most famous among his many horses were Egypt and H(. Louis. He also occasionally useo a small captured steed, pur chased from the government, called Jeff Davis, found on the Mississippi plantation belonging to a brother of the confederate president. No one with any knowledge of rid ing could see Grant in the saddle without observing at a glance that it was his throne. Neither American cowboy, Bedouin sheik, or Mexican vaqueio had a firmer seat or more resembled a centaur. Like Wash ington, Grant from early boyhood could control and master horses. As a West Point cadet, when mounted on a powerful steed, he made the highest jump recorded In military anuals. At Belmont, In his first bat tle of the civil war, .Grant had a horse killed under him and several wounded In later engagements, but happily was never wounded him self. During the brilliant Vicksburg campaign the general frequently rode EVENING POPULIST GUIDE SALEM, OREGON, ,. II VMS FOB CAUCUS. Joe Simon is our silent Josh Our Boss is Bourne.

He also used a horse called Fox, from his color, sometimes mounting Jeff Davis, an eay travel er, who was also used by his eldest son, then a lad of thirteen, during the famous siege of Vicksburg. On the day of the surrender, July 4, 18G3 the successful General rode Egypt, so designated from the circumstance that he had been purchased for fif teen hundred dollars in southern Illinois, sometimes called Egypt. St. Ixmis was so named because bought In that city at the price of twelve hundred dollars. They were power ful bays of about sixteen hands, the former somewhat atiottert, and so evenly matched in size and style that they were used In Washington after the war by Mrs. Grant as carriage horses. After the victory at Catlanoogs, where the General rode Egypt, dur ing the engagement, he went to Cincinatti. While In that city he received from a dying man of his own name, but In no way connected with him, a request that he would call at his house. When they met the sick man said: "General Grant, I give yon a noble horse, who has no superior in the land, as a testimony of my admiration of your character and great services to our country. There Is one condition attached to the gift, that you will treat him kindly." Grant accepted the hor, of course, faithfully keeping his promise, and named him Cincinnati. He waa a son of Lexington, with a single exception the fastest four 'miie thoroughbred that ever ran on an American race course, having made the distance in 7 : 19 j. The General was offered ten thou sand dollar for the horse, as he had a record of speed almost equal to that of his half brother, Kentucky. Cin cinnati was a superb and spirited bay of great endurance. Grant rid ing him almost constantly in the wiidtmens campaign, aud pa.Jng from end to end of our long lines. The macrnifleent war horse was re tired soon after General Lee's sur render at Appomattox court house, enjoying many yeara of ease and comfort on a Maryland etate near Washington, until the end came in September, 1874. Cincinnati had either broken his right foreleg by accident iu a field where it appeared Impossible that such an accident should occur, or else It had been designedly broken by some fiend. This latter supposition, however, seems incredible. The. poor horse had walked around all night almost in a circle, and in the morning the owner of the estate ordered the fa mous chanrer shot to spare him further suffering. Geueral Sherman's favorite horse was killed under him at the battle of Shiloh, aud the two others were shot at the time while in charge of his orderly. Later in the war his most famous chargers were Lexington and Sam. The former was a thorough' bred from Kentucky, and is ineiv tioned ' in the General's memoirs. He waa photographed on Lexington JANUARY, 1897. , STATE HOUSE NOTES. Mr. Bourne is undecided about at lowing the house to organize this session. He may consent to do so. Several populists members desired to attend the house yesterday, fear ing censure from their constituents. Mr. Bonrne, however, refused per mission. Mr. Simon speaks in the kindest terms of the house populists. He finds most docile aod self-deprecla tory the most easily managed and cheaply managed of any legislature he has attempted to control. He thinks it advisable that tho next leg islature be wholly populistlc, but deems it unwise for the present members to seek re-election. - ' Mr. Davis, of Umatilla, temporary speaker, is not Cyclone Davis of Texas, as many believe. The pop ulists may endorse him for govrnor in 1898. What fools these mortals be. These 28 and 30 republicans ait hour after hour, vainly waiting for the populists to take their seats and make a quorum for the transaction of business. The populists meanwhile are enjoying themselves at the ex pense of the people. The populists in the house are the straight pops., the silver republican pops., the democrat pops, and the gold Simon republican pops. Some of the straight populists are growing weary of their associates we are afraid. The third house is to orginize to night. Judge C. B. Moors and Allen R. Joy are mentioned for speaker. at Atlanta, and he rode him in the grand review which took place in Washington at the close of the war. This handsome war horse was act! dentally killed soon after by falling into a street excavation near his stable. The steed that under the homely name of Sam most strongly established himself in the confidence and affection of Sherman was a large, half thoroughbred bay, sixteen and a half hands high, which he purchased soon after losing his three horses at Shiloh. Sam possessed sjKd, strength and endurance, and was so steady, under fire or otherwise, that the General had no difficulty in writ ing orders in the saddle and in giv ing his attention to other matters. While steady as a rock under fire, he waa nevertheless most prudent and also very sagacious in his choice of shelter from hostile shot and shell. Sam was wounded several limes, but only when mounted, and the fault was therefore due wholly to Sher man. He acquired reputation as a forager, and always contrived to ob tain a full allowance of rations, sometimes escaping on independent expeditions for that purpose. What first endeared Sam to the General was that he became his son Willie's favorite riding horse when he came to Vicksburg on a visit, but a short time before his death. His father used to say that he always felt safe when the boy was on Sana, knowing that the horse would keep out of danger and return in season for din ner. Sherman was on his back In numerous pitched battles, and after the war placed him on an Illinois farm, where he was pensioned on entirely, dying of extreme old age in ISM. Mr. P. T. Sherman, the General's second son, writes: "Sam was hardly the heroic horse to place with the others you mention, but be was a strong and faithful animal, who did perfectly the varied and dangerous work alloted to him, and made a march as long and difficult as any recorded in history tiiat from Vicksburg to Washington." In January, lH7rt, General Sheri dan sent the following letter to a friend: "In regard to the 'Black Horse,' I am glad to state that he is slill living, and Is now in my stable. He has been a pensioner for.llie past eight years, never being used save in the way of necessary exercise. ne is Black Hawk stock, was foaled at or near Grand Rapids, Mich., and was brought into the army by one of the officers of the Second Michigan (Javalry, of which regl uieut I was colonel in 18r2. Early in the spring of that year, while the regiment, was stationed at Rienr.i, Miss., (his horse was presented to me by the officers of the regiment, and at that time was rising three years old. consequently ho must be nearly nineteen years old now. He is over seventeen hands In height, powerfully built, with a deep cheat, strong shoulders has a broad forehead, a clear eye, and is an animal of great intelligence. In his prime he wac one of the strongest horses I have ever known, very active, and the faatesl walker in tho army so fur as my experience goes. (Oeneral Sher mans' Sam,a terror to staff officers, the writer thinks could have beaten Winchester, for he frequently walked five and a half miles au hour.) I rode him constantly from 1S62 to the close of the war, In all the actions and in all raids, as well as campaigns, in which I took part. He was never ill and his staying powers' were su perb. At present he Is a little .rheu matic, fat, and lazy, but he has fairly earned his rest, ami so long as I live he will be taken care of. In October, 1878, the famous horse died, and Sheriden then made a slight addition to Winchesters biography, saying "lie always held, and by the quick ness of his movements- gave many persons the fmprtsslon that he war exceedingly impetous. ' This was not I ho case, for I could at any time con trol him by a firm hand and a few words, and he was as cool and quiet untler fire as one of my old soldiers. I doubt if his suN?rlor as a horse for field service was ever ridden by anj one." Herman Melville, Buchanan Read, and many other jmlnor writers, have made this horse, who was Ir half a hundred battles the subject ol poems, and sculptors and painten have delineated him in marble and and on canvass. ' On every returning Memorial Day many aged survivor of Sherlden's Shenandoah troopers, who remember the services of hl "Steed as black as the steeds of night," cross over to Governors Island Mu seum and place floral memorials on the glass case which contains all that remains of the famous war hors Winchester. When near the close ol his career, General Grant lost his for tune, he voluntarily surrendered all his real and his personal property, with a single exception. He retained Reatl's spirited painting of "Sheri dan's Ride," a gift from the greatest sabreur that our country has pro duced, perhaps not surpassed by any cavalry com maniier since the superb Mu rat. Concerning the new states, it is fair to say that Ihey have not im proved the standard of the United States senate, and that their custom is to vole against the party that ad mits them to statehood.
