SIDE LIGHTS ON GENERAL GRANT
The Noted t.tiorrlllii Chief UJvos Ills lien-
son * for Accepting the I.o'Blcnl ItosulU
of the ( Jrrut Conlllct Ills FrloiiU-
ship For Grant.
1 never met General Grant until May , 1872 ,
wbon I called or. him nt the wnlto bouso In
company with Senator John P. Lowls of
Virginia , writes Colonel Mosby In the San
Francisco Exnmmar. At thot tlmo my homo
I was nt Warronton , Va. , nnd I frequently
\ \ visltod Washington. Once I had soon Gen
eral Grant with General Sherman In a box
nt tbo theater. They scorned to enjoy the
fun of the play ns much as "tho gods" In the
gallery.
Not long before I called on General Grant
I rode some dlstanco on the Midland railroad
with Senator Lowls , who , being it republican ,
was on very friendly terms with the admin
istration , nnd wo talked n great deal about
tbo president. Llko most southern men I
had been opposed to the policy of reconstruc
tion , nnd of course wns opposed to the repub'
llcan party , whom bo represented. For tlm
reason , In spite of my personally friendly
feelings for General Grant nil account of bis
magnanimous treatment of the southern
lolulery , nnd mo Individually , nt the close of
the war , I bad alway kept nlonf from him.
In my conversation on the train with Sena
tor Lewis 1 expressed my hlch personal re
gard for General Grant nud the gratitude I
frit to him , und 1 said I would have called to
pay m ; respects but for fear that In doing no
my motives might bo misconstrued , nnd it
might crcnto n prejudice against mo In the
south and General Grant iu tbo north If bo
trnatcd mo with even ordinary civility.
At that time my nnmo was a monstrum
horrcndum to the northern Imagination , and ,
no doubt , n Inruo majority of thu best people
ot that region sinceiely belloved thutmymcn
fought under the bltick Hag Inscribed with a
skull and cross-bones.
General Grant wns then ns much misun
derstood in tbo south as I bad been misrep
resented In the north. The kindly fooling
whlcll his noble conduct at Appomntlox had
aroused was almost obliterated by bis be
coming the candidate of tbo republican party
for the presidency. Wo did not then stop to
consider that. General Grant hnd accepted re
construction just as General Leo did soces-
r.ion , because ho could not avert It. Both had
bowed ton storm they wore not ablosuccoss-
fully to oppose. Neither did we then reflect ,
or , rather , we did no know that by going
along with thu tempest General Grant in
norno degree moderated its fury.
Whrn be became president ho found thrco
southern stales under military 'government ,
the others under carpetbag rule , and nearly
all tholr prominent leaders under political
disabilities. At tno close of bis second term
nonrlv all disabilities hail heou removed , tbo
Iron clad oath repealed end tbo southern
states restored to the control of tholr best
citizens.
My conversation with Senator Lowls ,
whllo not confidential , was not intended as a
message to General Grant , and I hjd DO ex
pectation of its being repeated to him. It
was only a week or so b&foro the nomination
of Horace Grcolcy. I bad then no Idea of
ever voting the republican ticket. The pre
judices which bed survived war and recon
struction , as well as any ambitious hopes 1
may have cherished , all impelled mo tha
other way. In the south the democratic
party has appropriated all/ the glory won by
the confederate armies and of course it en
joys the benefit ot tbo resentments created
by defeat nud the devastation of the country
by tbo northern armies. My war record
. could bo of no ndvuntngo to mo with the re
publicans. For the same reason in tbo north
1 the republican party gets the benefit of all
the wur fouling that survives. There never
yet was a party or politician who would not
_ . utilize nay prejudice that exists to gain
' ] power. Ifmakos no difTeronco whether the
I prejudice bo rational or not.
' I was n member of tlio bar. My state ,
congressional district and county wcro all
largely democratic , or conservative , as then
culled. If I had desired political honor or
plnco I would have sought It at the lime ot
the reconstruction , when It was bard to got
eligible men to fill the ofllces. Never having
Held an olllco befuro the war , I was uot ex
cluded by tbo reconstruction laws from
cither holding olllco or voting. Greoloy wns
nominated on a platform ratifying all thai
tbo republicans bait aono. Having accepted
the principles , I could see no objection to
voting with the party.
The democrats went over to Grooloy ho
didn't BO to them. Their battle cry was
"reconciliation. " Tbo term Implies past hos
tility. Logically , It meant voting witb tbo
republican party. Wo did not ncoa any
reconciliation witb the democrats.
As Grant represented the north , It seemed
to mo that thu proper way to get reconciled
was to vote for him just as Governor Lee
surrendered to him ut Appomattox when ho
j 1 saw that the cause for which ho bad fought
i was lost. To tbrow away the influence of
our voles on Grccloy seemed to mo as absurd
I as for General Leo to Imvo surrendered bis
sword to u sutler when be concluded to nlop
ilchtlng.
The southern pcoplo abandoned opposition
to thu laws thu republicans bad passed. They
taid that they only wautcd them administered
iu 11 friendly spirit by their own people. 1
thought this otijectcould be attained by their
supporting Grant. 1 did not differ with them
about tbe end , but tbo means by which they
undertook to accomplish It. I desired a
change as much us they did , nnd thought tbo
desired change would result from n change
in their relations to the national administra
tion.
I do not reproach any ono who differed
with me , but twenty years have slnco rolled
away nnd I am of the same opinion still. I
believed then , as I bellovo now , tbnt If tha
south had made au alliance with Grant the
carpet bag governments would have fallen
by u natural process , just ns a rottoa apple
drops from a tree , and all that vile crow
M ! would bavo been driven from power without
violence. If Grant recognized that sot it was
f ktmply on the principle that tbo Enellsh
lupport the Turk because tbo Turk is tholr
Rlly against tbo Russian.
Ai soon as Groeloy's nomination was
known 1 wrote to Senator Lewis thut I was
for Grant. Ho replied tbut bo bad repeated
to General Grant our conversation on the
cars , and that be bad sent mo a message to
coma and sou him. 1 went immediate ! } to
Washington , had an Interview with General
Grant and told him of my Intention. 1 felt
ubsurod from my conversation with him that
lie earnestly desired perfect peace between
nil sections. But this could not bo 'secured
\\itliout the hnrmouluus action nnd cooperation
tion of the southern pcoplo. wlth.blm. If be
should quit Ins party mid come over to them
bo would come shorn of bis strength , The
south must cnmo to him , Thn bloody chasm
between them uud Gruut was no wldortban
thu one between Ilium and Groeluy.
I bad never before been in the whllo
houso. When 1 walked with my son Into
tno ream where Grant was sitting , bli pres
ence inspired something of thu awe that a
Homan provincial must uavu felt when first
filtering tlui pulaio of the Ciu < ars. llis man
ner soou relieved ono ot cmbarassmont nnd
restored inv Krlf-confiUenco. Ho Immedi
ately began tcllluumu how near I came to
rapturing him ( HI the train when hi ) wont up
to take command of tbo nruiy ot the
Potomac. 1 luuRbed und said : "Well , Mr.
President if 1 bad caught rou things might
have been n little different now. You might
have been Bulling on mo. " He answered )
"Yo , perhaps to. "
I told hi m tbut I Intended to support him
ind thai if bo would bold out an olive brunch
to the hoatli by ( rolling congress to puss au
lot relieving our lending men from tbo dlsu-
Dlllty Innosed by thu fourteenth nmanomoni
I thought wo could carry Vlrclnia for him.
It would tnko thu wind out o ! Grueluy's ' culls ,
lie said ibut ho would see what could bo
done nbout It. I knew tbut bo wns In favor
, > of universal nmiibsty , us ho recommended U
I In his last aniiUHl message. A bill to that
I i blleut bad ousted thu house , but bad bcun
I lotcutcd by uu umendmcnt tacked to It by
I Su.nncr In llio sonatu.
Two or throe days after my interview
jcnoral Butler reported an amnesty bill (1 (
aavi ) no doubt at Grant's suggestion ) , which
tvus runted through ono night whllo Sumuor
was ailcep.
Tbo irouclaa oath bad already beou ro-
ponied , end I wai ollglblo to nny office , atnto
or federal , On the contrary , nearly nil the
men who might bo my competitors , If I had
political ambition , were under the Dan ot the
fourteenth amendment. Nobody but n poli
tician would have discovered an unworthy
motive In mv asutng Grant to use his power
to sot them free. General Eppa Hunton.wbo
hnd been a distinguished confederate sol
dier , nnd wns afterwards ono ot the electoral
commissioners , wns thus liberated and sent
to represent my district in congrojs , whllo I
was denounced through the south ns an
nposlnto. A charge moro unjust wns never
brought against n man stnco Socrnlo * wns
accused of corrupting the Athenian youth.
Grant wns elected by nn overwhelming
majority , and It was no fault of mlno that
the southern pcoplo did not participate In
the triumph. Shortly after the election I
received n note from Grant requesting mo to
corao to Washington to see him on business.
I went. Ho spoke of my services in the cam
paign nnd his desire to reward mo. I told
him I had repeatedly said that 1 would not
accent any ofllco from him. I never did. Yet
people generally bellovo that ho appointed
; no consul at Honguong.
it wns a painful thing to break nwny
from old associations nud traditions and go
against the current of opinion In the soutb.
Of course I had to suffer the consequences.
1 never subscribed to the doctrine thai n
man "must go with bU people" In party con
tests. If that Is so , then the minority Is al
ways wrong , and ovary domagocuo who
floats Into power on n popular wave Is n pa
trlot. Judas Iscnrlot can claim the full ben
efit of the mnxlm.
In the moral as well ns In the material
world there is often nn apparent motion in
ono direction when the real motion Is In the
opposite. So mou could not for n long time
undurstund why Columbus sailed to the
west in search of n passage to the cost. .
Byron swam tbo Hellespont by going partly
with the current. If ho hud measured his
strength with the waves ho would have
never reached the Astatlo shore.
.During Grant's second term I wns fre
quently ut the white house. 1 never failed
to see him but ones. Ho was tbcu In the
hands of a rloutlst. Ha appointed n good
many of my friends In Virginia to ofllcu JOst
to oblige me , and Im never once asked a ques
tion about their politics. Some of them bad ,
votoJ n train 31 htm.
I never heard him speak n word about the
war that would wound tbo most sensitive
southern man. Ho once remarked to mo
that if ho bad bean a southern man ho would
have been a southern soldier. Of his old
army comrades who took the confederate
'
sido'ho always spoke In the most affeclion-
nto way.
Speaking ot Stonewall Jackson lie oncu
said to me : "Jackson was tbo most con
scientious human being I over know. If
you could bnvo persuaded him that It was
his dutv to put his bend into a cannon's
mouth and bavo it blown off nud it would
not have been hard to convince htm bo
would have done It without hosiinllon. "
Ho once appoltod u worthless Virginian to
ofllca , aud I expressed surprise tnnt ho
appointed the fellow because ho represented
himself as the brother of a confederate gen
eral who was killed In the war and who wns
his instructor at West Point. I told him
that it wns not true , nnd that the man had
just boon released from the chnin-gnug for
whipping his wife. Grant laughed ut tbo
trick and revoked the appointment.
Dan Voorhecs oncn said to mo that the vir
tues that made Grant Icvnblo'in private life
were the source of the greatest mistakes bo
mndo ns u public man. And this wns true.
"His very failings loaned to virtue's side. "
No man ever had a moro tryiue position to
fill. Ho found tno south In n state of an
archy , the whole country soothing with the
passions of war. "Stoop and craggy , " says
Emerson , "aro the paths of the gods. "
On the night before ho loft Washington on
bis tour around tbo world I called to bid him
goad-by. At parting I said : "General , I
"
hope to"sco vou president again. " Ho was
silent.
\VonoxtmotatHongKong. Ho was then
a private citizen , and by a curious turn of
tbo wheel of fortune I was representing the
United States. When the signal gun was
tired that announced that his steamer was In
sight I w.ont out in a boat to meet him in
company with an old Virginian who , having
gene to Hongkong before the war , was still
unreconstructed , and was never reallv con
vinced that the war was over until ho saw
mo shako hands with Grant. Ho and Mrs.
Grant wore standing on dock at tbo bead of
the gangway as I walked up : 1 said : "Gen
eral , I wuntto introduce you to tholastror-ol ,
Dr , Lockhcadof Petersburg. Va. Ho says
bo is willing to surrender to the man thut
General Lee surrendered to. " Mrs. Grant
spoke up : "I bespeak liberal terms for tha
doctor. " Grant said : "Well , doctor , 1 now
parole you , nndbopo you may bo a loyal citi
zen. "
Ho spent some days in Hongkong ns the
guest of the governor , Sir John Pope Hones-
soy , cud made a trip up the river to Canton.
Tbo Chinese could not bo made to bellovo
that ho was not still a great potentate.
Ouo morning at breakfast at the govern
ment house ho was describing Pilostluc , and
said ; "Tho road from Joppa to Jerusalem is.
I believe , the worst in ttio world ; certainly
tboSvorst I over traveled. "
1 was sitting by Mrs. Grant on the oppo
site sldo of the table , and romurKod : "Gen-
oral , I think you fiavo traveled ono rougher
road that that. "
Ho asked mo whoro. I replied , "From the
Uapldnn to Richmond. "
Ho laughed and said : "Well , I bollovo
there wcro moro obstructions on that road. "
Ho made a visit to Macao , a Portuguese
colonv noout forty tnilos from Honguong.
By invitation of the governor 1 wont with
him on bis stonm launch to the United Status
man-of-war Asbuclot that carried Grant aud
bin party of ! the China coast. Just ns wo
started to return to the slioro the Ashuelot
begun firing a royal salute of twenty-one
RUIIS in honor of the governor as the repre
sentative of tbo orown. Tbo launch stood
still until it was through. The general and
Mrs. Grunt remained all the tlmo on tbo
deck of the man-of-war. When tbo guns
ceased firing wo steamed nwuy I raised my
bat as a last farewell and General Grant
raised bis. I never saw the great soluicu-
ngalu.
An Incident occurred whllo ho was In
Japan that strikingly illustrates bis distin
guishing characteristic fidelity to his
friends. An American in Japan asked ono
of his traveling companions , in General
Grant's presence , It be bad mot "Mr. "
Mosby at Hongkong. General Grant ,
qulokly detecting the sneer that lurked In
tbo question , said to him : "My friend ,
Coionol John S. Mosby , " laying emphasis on
my military title.
But to return to the origin of our friend
ship. 1 was with my command In northern
Virginia , near the Potomac , when I hoard
the news ot General Leo's surrender nt
Appomattox. Mine was at that tlmo the only
organized confederate force In that section.
Staulou immediately ordered Hancock , who
was then commanding at Winchester , to
issue a proclamation offering the saino terms
of parole to all coufodorato soldiers in Vir
ginia that were given to General Leo , but ex
cepting "tbo Guerrilla-Chief Mosby. " Han
cock obeyed the order , which condemned mete
to cheese between oxllo or being shot as an
outlaw. Without having received nny com
munication from mo , Grant ordered Hancock
to offer mo the parole thut ho bud given Gen
eral Loo. I was afterward Introduced to
Hancock by my friend Clindwicit in Wash
ington , Ho was a superb gentlemen. Ho
told tno tbut Stanton was solely responsible
for bis making an exception of me. I huvo
slr.co found among tbo war records Stantou's
Instructions to Hancock. '
After I bad settled down to practice law I
was arrested a number of tlmoj on no par
ticular charge by provoit marshals , who
were stationed at the court bouses In every
county. I was forbidden to go out of the
stuto , but my wlfo made a vUlt to Baltimore ,
nnd on her way tboro stopped lu Washing
ton. Stio never Intimated to mo that sbo in
tended to co to see tha president. Ho and
her father , Beverly L. Ciurko of Kentucky ,
had boon personal friends and itomocrutlu
members of congress together before the
war. She went to tbo whllo housa and told
Andy Johnson wuo o daughter * ind xvhoso
wile she was , and complained of my being
arrested ; for u parole is a contract that
binds both parties to IU The vulgarian was
simply rude and Insolent. Sbo loft thu whlto
hon u und went straight to General Grunt's
oflico at tbo War department. Ho received
her with all tlm courtesy bo would have
shown in tha wifa of u union general , anil
wrote n letter of protection giving tuo liberty
to ( ravel any whcra in tbo United States , I
iiuvci the original now tbo whole of it iu tits
handwriting.
About the sarao tlmo Grant did another
net that shovyed his generous Impulse * , A
Virginia boy wuo belonged to my en mm und
crossed the Potoiuao with a parly ono night
during thu last winter of tbo war. They
cot Into a llilit lu which u government detec
tive was Killed. The boy wns captured and
sentenced to tbo penitentiary by a military
court. His mother begued Johnson to par-
dou ihu boy , but bo sternly refused. Sbo
told her sorrowful story to General Grant ,
Hu wont with her to so" Johnson nnd told
him that ho would hot leave the room until
ho signed the 'warrant for the boy's pardon.
Johnson did so ,
On the day boforn I loft Honokonc n dls-
patch carne minotnclng Oeticr.il Gnu.t's
death. 1 felt that I had lost n < true n frlond
n < t nny man nvor had. Tbo friendship of
Pvlades nnd Orostos was not more slnccro
than mlno for Grant.
Not lone ago I was told that tha southern
people would never forelvo mo for support-
Inn him. My answer was : "Thoy ought
not to lorgko mo. N man ought to be for
given before ho repents. "

bollovos earnestly In the public school sys

Tbo Ideal education for city schools , bo

turn out symmetrical young men nnd women ,
well balanced and thoroughly equipped for
life's duties. Now too much iluio is given to
Intellectual work. The course of study Is

long. Admit the study of uu language but

English sailors had boon submitted to Popys ,
as clorlt of admiralty. Other ! contest that
the second Charles had a lazy sort of design
to bouso und comfort the rairgod old veterans
who baa boon loyal to bis father before the
latter bad lost his Kingly hoad.
But sometimes tradition has longer logs
than history. British folk will never cease
believing the tradition that rough , kindhearted -
hearted Nell Owynno" hail nil to do with the
founding of Chohoa hospital for British pen
sioners. There aw two pretty storlos of bow
It finally came about thU.an ; army of savage
old critics and Iconoclasts can never dispar
age among the British masses.
One Is that ouo day Nell was sitting with
Charles In her summer bouso at Chelsea , ono
of whoso windows overlooked the Quo
meadows surrounding King James college ,
when the paymaster ot the forces entered ,
and the subject of the projected hospital and
the difficulty of finding a proper slta was ro-
sumod. "Your uujasty could not do better , "
said Sir Stephen l 'ox , "than give up for tno
purpose your recent purchase from the Iloyal
socloty. " This comprised King James col
lege und grounds which bad just boon bought
us u gift to Nail at a cost ot 1,300. ' "Tis
well thought of , " replied the king , castIng -
Ing his o ; . o over the beautiful plot of ground.
'You shall have If " but recollecting him
self , ho instantly added , ' "Odsol I forgot I
have already given tins land to Nell hero. "
'Have you so , ChArlosI" exclaimed Nell
gaily : "then I will rouiru It to you again for
so good a purpose. " 'The ' offer was accepted ,
and Nell was transferred to a mansion built
for her in Pall Mill by the king.
I'rotty Nell ( Jwyniio1 * Droiiui.
Another more romantic version Is that ono
day pretty Nell was ; riding m the king's
glided couch , and ; being most disconsolate
tbo king rallied her , when she confessed that
her distress was , owing to tbo following
dream :
' 'Mcthought Iyas in the fields of Chelsea ,
nun slowly there roseuoforo my eyes a beau
tiful palace of 1,000 chambers ; and in and
out thereof walked diyors many old and worn
out soldier men \vlUii\U kinds of sours , and
many maimed aso tholr limbs. All ot them
were aod and pjst .soryico ; and as they
wont out and camo.hu the old men cried :
God bless ICinc Charles IJ And lawoko , and
I was sore Iscomlitod , that it was ; only a
dream.1 ' . > . : * ,
The story goes that the king was t touched
by Nell's dream and then and there swore a
great oath that it should come to reality.
And so it did. Tho' litJg hardly saw more
than the corner stone lala by Sir Christopher
Wren in 11531 ; out before Mr. Tenlson , after
wards urchblshop of Canterburyhad preached
Nell fJwynne's funeral sermon , in 1090 , there
truly "slowly rose before her eyes a beauti
ful palace of "a thousand chambers , " whore ,
tbourh she did not live lotii ? enough to
know it , there have boon many blessings
from grateful throats in grizzled frames , If
riot for Cnarlcs , for the lowly oraugeirlrl
wno , whatever her lifo or faults , was ever
great enough to move a profligate king to
most of the good and generous aots which bo
performed.

JiiiClnml'a Old SoUlidm' Homo.
Mauy an odd little study you will find
nmonethoso cantnaiccrous past agoheroos In
tliu qulot strooU of Chelsea. Chelsea would
hardly bo Chelsea without them. Strng-
eilngnlonc Its thoroughfare.- . , sitting bent
nnd silent on sunny benches , loaning npnlnst
fountains , vases and statues , resting as com
posedly n house owners on homo stops nnd
vonlbuloj , or stumping nlonir with orders to
this nnd that servant , us if long habit had
given them acquired supervisory rights over
the n flu Irs of residents , they Irresistibly sug
gest n bevy of croaking cockatoos turned
loose in park and garden , oanh ono harping
Upon some fancied grievance or delight.
Many are the snug little pdbllo houses
hard by , worse luck to the British citizen
nnd pensioner ! and you will find It easy
enough to make friendships with tbcsn old
fellows , who Imvo little to do and much to
remember whllo awaiting the lait lone mus
ter. It would bo sorely ungracious In you
not to content an acquaintanceship of this
sort , with u little purchase of "b.icky" nnd
several purchases of "four ale , " oven though
nil unrelenting prohibitionist nt homo. Thu *
you will lenrn marvelous things of British
valor afield , all , ot course , In the old days
whou , different than now , fighting was
lighting Indeed. You will sccuro n willing
n taloful guldo to Chelsea hospital. And
above all you will learu how a British pan-
slonor'd prldo In his own nnd tits country's
achievements may bo mingled , lu the aamo
breath , with his.own ovorlasllug discontent
nnd contempt.
Vou will find Chelsea hospital n dark and
Imposing structure , possessing that Indefina
ble gloomy grandeur which Its builder , Sir
Christopher Wren , gave ns a marked charac
teristic to all his architectural creations.
Indeed ouo may well say Wren seems to
stare at you from out the facades of nil great
London buildings. But the grounds are
wide and ample , and tbo noblest trees in
London everywhere flank the line old build
ing. fi r enough nwav to glvo Hoods of snn-
shlitu in the courts nnd largo parade grounds
between the hospital and the Thames om-
bankmont. The building comprises three
hugo courts , the largest facing the south , tbo
Thames and the masses of follagu of Battor-
sgn park , across the river.
The wings of the great southern court are
305 feet long nnd aro-10 foot wide. In thoio
nro found the pensioners' ' wards. Eaoh ono
U about L'OO foot lu length. Twonty-six com
partments are situated on each nldo of u
division partition running ulonir the center
of each ward. Thcso partitions nro open nt
each end , wbnro the ward officers have
rooms ; nnd as the pensioners' compartments
or rooms fuco the outer walls , whleh nro pro
vided with huge , closely clustered windows ,
each ward In itself provides about 500 lineal
'
foot of splendidly 'lighted and ventilated
promenade floor , for USD during inclement
weather.
llrltHli Pensioners Clironlc Kickers.
These pensioners' rooms within the wards
arc tlt'lit little cubby hole * indeed , almost us
tiny and suuir asthobuiiKsofu aniline craft's
forecastle. They are seven foot , long and six
in width , but nro given the ontlro height of
the ward room. A curtained entrance Is in
the center. At either side is a largo sliding
window , Its sills at the height of an ordinary
table top. At the loft of each door , ns you
outer , Is u folding , or falling , table , for books ,
writing and tbo llko. Opposite and of pre
cisely the same slzo and pattern Is the little
tnblu where the pensioner takes his solitary
mual. His bunk Is on a level with the win
dow eills and taDlos. Below It is his trunk ,
or "box , " and on shelves above aio any nick-
nacks ho may possess. A sort of privacy
may bo enjoyed , but doors and windows re
main open , uuder the rules , so that cvn un
expected Inspectors may oDsHryo the con
dition of everything in each compartment ,
prison like , at a glanco.
If the allowance to the Chelsea pensioners
lu the matter of clothing , food and nlo mouoy
are somewhat mcaecr , their duties und re
strictions are exceedingly light. On entrance -
trance to the hospital the pensioners' pre
vious total Kovornmont allowance of ono
shilling per uuy is entirely relinquished.
This refers exclusively to private soldiers ,
of whom tnoro are over OUO urnong the about
560 Inmates of the hospital.
In lieu of this shilling per duy pension they
receive each a room such ns previously do-
scilbod , a yearly allowance of two
pairs ot trousers , ouo cap and fatigue
jacket and four complete suits of under
clothing , with a ( lamina rod Priuco Albert
coat , decorated with blue cuffs and huge
brass huttous with the monogram , "H. H.
C. P. " Iloyal Hospital of Chelsea Pension
ers , once in throe .years.
Tbolr food consists of half a loaf of bread
and an ounce of butter dally , per man ; with
a bowl of cocoa for breakfast , soup , mutton
or beef and potatoes for dinner , and a bowl
of tea at IJ : ; ) for "tea" which Is the last
meal of the day. Besides this they nro paid
ono penny per day for ale and tobacco money ,
and each also receives a quarter of a pouad
of tobacco every three months.
There are practically no restrictions upon
those old wards of Chelsea. They go and
come at will ; and punishments for'in fraction
of always lenient discipline are confined to
the wea'ring of u black cap for extraordinary
revolt against good order , or a few hours in
the guurdhouso for a pensioner taken rcd-
luinded in battle with John Barleycorn at
the nlo houso. They nro royal grumblers
all. To vhom tholr clothing is "shoddy , "
is "swill " aud coffee " "
soup , cocoa are "pizon ,
butter is "Thames sklmmln's , " and , iu
scornful Intimation of tbo ufllcors appropri
ating all the joints' of mutton whllo
leaving them but tbo ribs aud briskets ,
they stoutly assort that "Every
sheep killed for Chelsea hag nine
breusttcs ! " But I bellovo they
are , on tbo whole , very comfortable aud con
siderately treated , and fully us well served
und cared for as are the veterans of our own
soldiers homes.
