Cenaral Grant Vindicated.
It ha: been claimed by some that
Gen. Grant wait under the Influence
of liquor on the mining of the bat
tle of Sh iloh, but tin story is posi
tively refuted and denied by a
most estimable lady, with whom
Gen. Graut made his headquarters
in 152, in the following letter to the
Demoiucs State Register. The cor
respondence explains itself:
Corner Spruce and Demon
breum, Dec. 6, l)2.-Mr.T.M. Hurst
Dear Sir: Your letter of inquiry
concerning- Gen, Grant's physical
condition on the morning the bat
tle of Sliiloh began was received
several days ago. You will please
pardon my seeming negligence,
and accept my assurance, gladly
that on the date mentioned I be
lieve Gen. Grant was thoroughly
sober. He was at my breakfast
table when he herd the report from
a cannon, holding untasted a up
of coffee, he paused in conversation
to listen a moment at the report ot
another cannon. He hastily arose
saying to his staff oflicers: "Gen
tlemen the ball is in motion. Let,"
be off." His flagship (as he called
his special steamboat), was laying
at the wharf, and in fifteen minutes
he, staff oflicers, orderlies, clerks
and horses had embarked.
During the weeks of his occu
pancy of my house he always de
meaned himself as a gentleman;
was kind, courteous, genial and
considerate, and never appeared iu
my presence in the state of intoxi
cation. He was uniformly kind to
citizens, irrespective of politics and
whenever the brutality to citizens
so frequently iudulged in by the
soldiers wa9 made known to him he
at once sent orders for the release
of the captives or restoration of the
property appropriated. As a proof
of his thoughtful kindness I men
tion that during the buttle bn Sun
day he wrote and sent to my moth
er a safeguard to prevent her home
being used for a hospital. Yielding
to the appeals ot humanity, she
did, however, open her home to the
wouutuled and sick for three
months in succession, often admin
isteied to their wants and necessi
ties in person. Iu such high esteem
did Gen. Grant hold magnanimity
under the most aggravating cir
cumstances that he thanked her
most cordially, assuring her that
considering the great losses and
gross indignities she had received
from the soldiers, her nobility of
soul was more to be admired than
the fr anie of a general leading an
army of victorious soldiers.
On one occasion he asked to be
introduced to my motheraud family
saying: "If you have no objection
to introducingnie, I will be much
pleased." I replied: "Not because
you are a great general, but
bee ause I belive you to be a gentle
man, I will unhesitatingly intro
duce you to them." Iu deference to
the fact that I was a Southern lady,
with Southern proclivities, he at
tired himself in a full suit of citi
zens' clothes, and touching him
self on the shoulder, said: "I
thought you would like this best,"
evincing delicate courtesy and
gentlemanly instincts of which the
honors of war or merited promotion
had not deprived him.
I feel that it is due to the surviv
ing members of General Grant's
family to mention some evidences
of his great-heartedness as shown
iu kindness to southern people."
' Millitary necessity" was not to
him a term synonymous with un
licensed vandalism or approval of
terrorism. He wae too great, too
true to his manhood to be fettered
by prejudice.
I am pleased that I can give
these reminicenses of a man who
as a soldier and statesman received
and merited the homage of a na
tionfor they are testimonies of
his inner life and inmate charac
teristics worthy to be recorded
with tne magnanimity of "kinship
over self," as mauifesten on the day
of General Lee's surrender. Re
spectfully. Mrs. V. H. Cherry.

j Obituary.
I Died on Friday evening March, 24,
I.Ki at the home of his parents, two
miles ast of Murray, of typhoid
malarial fever, Howard Young aged
24 years. 3 months 17 days. The fun
eral services were held iu the Chris
tian church at Rock Creek, Elder
Alton, of Elmwood officiating, after
which the remains were taken to
the Young burying grounds north
east of Murray for interment.
Howard was an active member in
the Christian church, a young man
of improachable character, and his
death is not mourned alone by his
parents, relatives and immediate
friends, but has cast his shadows
over the entire community where he
has grown to manhood and where
he was loved and respected by all.
Especially will the Y. P. S. C. E. of
which he was president, miss his
wise counsel and genial companion
ship. Born in the home where he died,
his entire life was spent on the
farm, or in the school room as
pupil or teacher. At the time he was
taken sick he was closing a very
successful term as teacher of the
"Bieck" school, and no more touch
ing tribut of love and respect could
have been offered by his scholars,
than the elegant wreath of tlowers
which they brought to the church
and placed upon his beautiful cas
ket which held his remains. It is
always sad to part with those we
love, but his friends have the con
solation of knowing that Howard
was prepared for the change, and
that his death is but the awakening
into new and everlasting life.
A precious one from us ha gone,
A voice we, loved lias stilled;
A place Is vucant in his home,
Which never can he tilled.
Oh ! the hope, the life Is sweet,
That we soon in heaven may meet ;
There we all shall haiiy lie,
Rest from pain and sarrows free.
A Brother in Christ.

C.S. McLean and W. H. Stewart,
two young Kentuckiaus were riding
in a skiff on Rough Creek, one mile
from Hartford Ohio, county, Ky.
When they reached the dam they
concluded to look over into a fish
trap tiea- where the water was
pouring in a torrent over tne dam.
They propelled the end of the boat
to the trap, when it was caught by
the stream and swamped. Young
Stewart was a good swimmer and
struck for shore, but McLean could
not swim, and as he tried to catch
the boat an eddy sized him and he
was drawn under the dam and
drowned. His body was soon re
covered. On learning of the acci
dent. Miss Tillie Athorton.to whom
he was soon to be married, fainted
in a paroxysm of grief, and has
since become bereft of her reason,
and may have to become an inmate
of a lunatic asylum.

One of our exchanges iu a few
pithy pointed words tells what he
thinks of people who orders their
paper stopped and does not come
up with the necessary spondulicks,
to settle arrears, in the following;
'An object about six feet long Moat
ed into this oflice one day this week
and very modestly (?) requested us
to discontinue his paper. This, of
course, is a request that we are al
ways pleased to comply with, as
men with any honor iu their make
up, usually pay up their arrears on
such occasions. This degraded ob
ject of humanity, however proved
himself to be one whose nature is
a stranger to all things that'goes to
make up the character of a man,
and while we were in the act of er
asing his name from our time-honored
subscription list he quietly
fades away, leaving us in the hole
for $1-2.-1. In the line of cuasedness
littleness and downright meanness
this fellow surpasses anything we
