THE GREAT CAPTAIN AS A SUBORDINATE I'roiiiiitiic-HK , IIciiu-Nty , CuiiriiK < > unit JiiNtlct SIctliodH of UlNcliilIuc Sliniillelty l Dreitu mill Mil miLT. ( Copyilglil. 1896. l > y B. B. McClure. Limited. ) ( The author of tlic&o reminiscences died In 1879 wlillo serving as pastor of the MrtliOillat KiiUcoiinl cliurcli at Slielbyvlllo , 111. Ho Becins to liavo written them out nbout the tlmo of the closing of the war. They furnish ono of the most Graphic pic tures of Grant ever given to the public. ) Grant Is about flvo feet ten Inches In liolght anil will weigh ICO pounds. Ho lias a countenance Indicative of reserve , and an indomitable will and a persistent purpose. In dress he Is Indifferent and careless , mak ing no pretontlons to style or fashionable military display. Had bo continued colonel till now , | think Ms uniform would liavo lusted till this day , for he never used It ex cept on dress parnOo , and then seemed to re gard It good deal as David did Haul's minor. He usually wore'a plain , blue bloueo coat , and an ordinary black felt citizen's QUANT IN 1SCS. hat nnd never had about him a single mark tn distinguish hit rank. While he In 10- svrved In his Intercourse with stunners , yet In the quiet circle of friends , especially when Iliq car en and duties of office are over , be Is free , frank , communicative and upree- able in the highest degree. He regards smoking as a luxury , and If he takes a prldo In anything , apart from the succeas of his enterprises , It Is In his horsemanship. In his estimation a good horse Is next to a good soldier. "His body Is a vial of Intense existence , " and yet when a stranger Eaw him In a crowd he would never think of asking his name. He Is no dissembler , no assumer of snob dignity ; he has more thah ordinary freedom from selfishness , and appears tone no one as an ambitious man. He Is a sin cere , thinking , real man ; by real we mean thnt he docs not take to shows , shams of "nourishes , " but to realities. CHEERFUL AND COURAGEOUS. Ho Is always cheerful ; no toll , cold , heat , hunger , fatigue or want of money depresses him. Ho was Just as buoyant while a colonel , away from paymasters looking after bush whackers In Mlsbjurl , and with tcarce money enough to prepay a letter , or buy a p'po full of klnlklnlck , n he Is an the hero of a hun dred battles , and the commandcr-ln-chlef of the finest army In the world and with the wealth of the nation at his command. In action he is bold and daring almost to n fault , and the excitement of the contest flrea the whole nun. Yet ho novcr loses his Edf-control , and his Influence of dis cipline and training can. bo seen In his most rapid movements. He goes to battle as though a charitable country was watching him ; as though ho felt Intensely the re sponsibilities of his station ; that hundreds and thousands of hearts were reeling , for ueal or woe , upon his decisions und movements ments- . In private he Is magnanimous , having a upeclal regard to the feelings and Interests of others. He has no desire to rife by the fall of others ; no glorying over another's abasement ; no exulting over another's tears. He went forth to the field of strife only at the call of his country , and he strikes at her bidding , smites at her command , and when the rebellion shall " " cry "enough , and his country dial ) bid him retire , 1m will qulotly and dutifully return and repose on th ? bosom ho has so bravely defended. PROMPT AND EXACTED PROMPTNCSS. Ho does his work at the tlmo and he re quires all under his command to 1 > 9 equally prompt. I was walking o\er the encamp ment with him one morning after break fast. It was Uiaial for each company to cull tbo roll at u given hour ; It was now probably half an hour after the time for that duty. The colonel was quietly smok ing his old meerschaum and talking and walking leisurely along , when he noticed a company ilrnwn up In line and the roll being called , Ho Ir.flontly drew htb pipe from his mouth and exclaimed ; "Captain , this Is no tlmo for catling the roll ; or.lei your mm to their quarters Immediately. " The comma ml was Instantly obeyed , and elie colonel resumed hlx smoking and walked on , conversing as quietly as If nothing had happened. 1'or this violation of discipline those mon went without rations that day , excepting what they gathered up privately from among their friends of other companies. Such a. breach of order was never wltnetted In the regiment afterward while be was colonel. This promptness In one of Grant's characteristic ? , and It Is one of the causes of his euccesi , A want of tliix coining to time has been thecaune cf many of tha disasters that have attended our arms. A general Is be hind time with bis division or corps , and the day Is lost.Vo may conjecture that Hid buttle of Dull Run would have retultej In nur favor had Patltrton been prompt to intercept the reinforcements of the enemy , as be was" directed. And a cloud came well nigh settling upon the head of Grant at Shlloh because of the loitering of Patterson. Grant would correct , and , If necessary , punish any want of conformity to rule or neglect of orders , or Infraction of regula tions In as cool and unruffled a manner even as you would give' directions to your gardener before breakfast. EMPTIES WHISKY FROM CANTEENS. On one of our marches , while passing through one of these small towns where the grocery Is the principal establishment , some of the lovers of Intoxication had broken or glided away from our lines nnd filled their canteens with whisky , and soon were reeling and ungovernable under Its Influence- , While apparently' stopping the regiment for 'vest. Grant passed quietly along the ranks and took each canteen , and whenever be detected the odor , emptied the liquor en the ground with as much nonchalance as he would empty his pipe , and had the offenders tied behind the bag gage wagons till they had sobered Into soldierly propriety. On this point bis orders were Imperative ; no whisky or Intoxicating beverages were allowed In his camp. Right hero I would notice the report that once obtained some circulation , that Grant was a lover of ardent spirits himself , and that ho Indulged too freely In tbelr use. Of this report I would Eay that I waft with him for tbo mont part of threeinonthu In all eorts of weather , marches and exposure ; wo ate at the same table , often slept In the fame tent , and sat around the bame camp lire , and I never knew him to allow ardent eplrlts In the regiment , nor did I ever know him oven to taste them In any form. I have seen him In company with his superiors In J. L. CRANE , GRANT'S CHAPLAIN. office where wine and brandy were freely patulng , and when offered to him lie In variably refused , usually remarking that he never Indulged In anything stronger than coffee and tobacco. His promptness and energy In correcting errors and reforming abuses In his regiment , sometimes led his men , especially thoce who were guilty , to feel that he wae hard and severe beyond necessity , Cut while he was thus vigilant and active In enforcing strict discipline , yet be was not unfeeling nor Indifferent - different in regard to the sufferings which the necessary penalties of camp life brought upon unsophisticated and uninten tional offenders. . EXAMPLE OK GRANT'S DISCIPLINE. When we baited at Salt River , Mo. , two of .our young bloods , supposing that It was necEsyjry to show their hatred to the rebel lion by some valorous exploit , had hardly pitched their tents when they"'started off on their own responsibility to seeh for the cne- nilcu to the union. They left , In the after noon , stayed all night , anitycaine back next day In flying colors , bringing , with them a "secesher" and two of his .horses. Grant wao seated by the iloor of KlsSlent when the two heroes brought trophies of their victory before him. Hel did not rise 'from his scat nor pull bis pipe from his mouth , but quietly nuked the boys : "Who save you permission to bo absent from camp1"Nobody ' ; wo Just thought we'd go out and look after seine secebhers , and we'vepund this feller and brought him up , " an < K they pointed triumphantly to the prisoner , ; who was still sitting on his horse and looked as If he ex pected to be shot before he'could say hla prayero. f "I'll attend tt > your casb first , " laid the colonel , nnd the flm > h of victory began to fade from their faceo as Uio continued : "Captain , you will take these boys and have them tied to a tree for six hours for leaving camp without permission- ) boys looked crestfallen nnd d'tappeareu ' yn company with the captain. After the cplinel hid ques tioned the trembling farmer and hlu pco- fcwlons of attachment Id the. union were found to bo in tit factory , -and' ho freely took the oath of allegiance , lie fist him at liberty and Icsurcly renamed Iilu-.smoking , nnd In In If a minute looked as though nothing un- UBuM had happened , and turning to me with apparently us alm'-Jn ibis remarkhe Inquired : , Jik J "Chaplain , what do you hi ik of camp life by this time ? " . "It Is entirely a new ph > ii , of life to me , colonel , ami I liavo hardlylx 'ii ' able to come to a definite conclusion yet. "What did you think tbc conduct of these two young men ? " be tiked ai colly If ho were inquiring ( he weather , " ! think the young- men ere not Intcn- tlcnally guilty of a v liljci of dlrcipllne ; the method wns Irregular , bu they dnuhtleea thought they were Uclnga good tiling for the rountty. " * ' , "Do you" think I pubUlicd them too te- vprely ? " ' " , * ' 'Well , colonel , I do nog ] kjigw that I am prepared to Judge cf what Is "too severe In military life. " j " 1 don't urk you for a , mlIta-y | opinion. I ask fcr ) oup opinion as a clt/.en ; chap lains are not t > uppocd to te military men. They are supposed to carry Into camp the tunic feelings and views of justice and right they had In civil life. " , Anjl bo raised his pycu as If to tee whether ijwero appreclat- Ing h't < remarks. "As you have asked mo for a candid opin ion I will ( 'lvo It. I think /he / punishment of these boys was not proportioned to their cffento , U It were I , six hour a tied up to a tree would be a wrlous butjiicss. I think It waa rather too severe on the boye , colonel. " "Hut , chaplain , uppo& < e wo were sur rounded by an enemy , and men were al lowed to ttray from camp , they would be taken prisoners or loco tbo'r ' lives In tuch a case. " "That appears reasonable , colonel , but we are net near au enemy ; licaldee , the beys are In a new position , and know not exactly what Is expected of them , und had no Idea what they were bringing en them- iclveo. " "llut we chould so prepare when the enemy Is at a distance that we may be ready when be Is near at band. " "Tim is true , elr ; yet I itlll think a milder punishment for unwitting offenders would au effectually work the mine result * . " The colonel stroked his beard with his left hand , a habit to which he Is accustomed when there ID the slightest Interruption to the current of his thoughts , and he- puffed his I'mcke with renewed vigor , and reflect ing a moment , called out : "Orderly , go and ( ell the guard to release tho&e boya tied to the tree1. ' ; they have been punished long enough. " RIGOROUS AGAINST PLUNDERERS. His honei'ty ' Is above suspicion. I regard him as one of the most Incorruptible men In the nation. Ho allowed no man to take unlawfully a single cunt from the govern ment It ho had the power to prevent It. Therefore he never was a great favorite wtlh contractors and cotton speculators. He had no patience or time to stop and parley with anyone who was trying to maUc a nice thing cff of the miseries of the country , and the hardships of the soldiery. In the early part of the war It waa too common for some colonola and generals to detail favorites to GO away on government buulnesD and at government expense , while In reality they were going on a visit home , or to some rendezvous of pleasure , purely for their o\\n gratification. No doubt In this way the government nan been defrauded of thousands of dbllnr ? . None of this nould Grant ever permit. He claimed that ha ! faith to his country In this respect lOiouId be kept as Facrcd aa lily faith to a partner In bUElneps. It was refreshing to an honest man's ssul to see how coolly ho could refuse all E'.icli applicants. And when they at tempted to argue that their double dealing was Justifiable , to hear him dryly reply , "I wish H3 further conversation on that point. " and turn from them with as much unconcern for their perplexity us a rchoolboy manifests for Dying kites. No amount of talent , or per- i > : mil Influence , or Influence of friends In high life could for a moment swerve him from his conscientious Integrity , He la "Kormed on the good old plan , A true nnil hravt1 , und downright hone-ft man. " HIS I'ROMOTION TO BRIGADIER. In the afternoon of a very hot day In July , 18C1 , whllo the rrglment was sta tioned In the town of Mexico , Mo. . I had gcno to the cara as they were- passing and procured the Dally Misvour ! Democrat , and seated myrclf In the shauoiv nf my tent to read the news. In the tolographlc column I soon came to tlu > announcement that Giant , with several others , was made brig adier general , In a fuw minutes ho camu walking that nay , and I called tn him : "Colonel , I have tome news here that will Interest you. " "What have you , chaplain ? " "I see that you or ? made brigadier gen- oial. " Ho seated himself by my side and re marked : "Well , Mr , I had no suspicion cf It. It never caino from any request of mine. That's seme of Wat-hhurn'n work. I knew WatOiburn In Gslena. Ho was a ttrong republican and I was a democrat , and I thought from that he never liked me very well. Hence ue never had more than a business or street acqua'ntance. Out when the war broke out , I found that ho bad Induced Governor Yates to appoint me muttering officer of the Illinois volunteers ; and after that hid something to do In hav ing mo commissioned colonel of the Twenty-first regiment ; and I suppose this la mc-ro of his wo k. " And he very leisurely rose up and pulled his black felt bat a little nearer hlu eyes , and made a few extra passes at hlu whlekera , and walked away about his buttlnoi with ai much an- parent unconcern .13 If some ono had merely told him that Ills new suit of clothes was finished. Grant belongs to no church organization ; yet ho entertains and expresses the highest esteem for all the entcrprlsjs that tend to promote rullglcu. When at home , be gen erally attended the Methodist Episcopal church , to which some of the members of hlo family wcro connected. Whllo he was colonel of the Tiventy-flr&t regiment ho gave every encouragement and facility for securing a prompt and uniform observance of religious services ; and was generally fqund In the audience listening to preaching. IlEV. JAMES L. CRANB , ChapUIn of Grant's Regiment. J.MI'IKTIKS. The Argonaut Is responsible for the follow ing story of u negro preacher whoto con gregation habitually made a great racket every Sunday. Upon bslng questioned the old man , with evident sorrow for the Ignorance - ranco of the colonel , said : "Doan' you know the Lawd's prayer ? " "Of course , " repllo.1 tt.o colorel ; "but. whit lias that to do with It ? " "Doan' do Lawd'u prayer pay hollared bo Thy name ? " replied the all-wluo preacher. The late Dr. Thomson , arclibltliop of York , when ho was bishop of Gloucester , suffered from toothache , and , by medical advice , re sorted to narcotic ! , to icllevo the pain. Ono morning , after a night of great Buffering , as ho left the house to consult the doctor , Mrs. Thomson beggcl htm not to allow the plijtlclan to prescribe a narcotic , as It af fected his brain for several hours after tak ing It. On hla way the bU'hop met the pout- man , who handed him a largo official en velope , lie opened It In the btreat and read hlu appointment to the ECO of York. Instead of visiting the doctor lit ? hastened back to communicate the surprising news to his wife. "Zoo ! Hoc ! " Ii9 exclaimed , "what do you think has happened ? I am archblbliop of York ! " "There , there ! " rejoined the wife ; "what did I tell yon ? You'vebeen taking that horrid narcotic again and uie quite f.ut of your head. " In a pleasant , social little Kentucky toun , not long ago , a new mlnlEtei arrive 1 , relates the Courier-Journal. Fervent in his mlbuion agalni't the world , the Mesh and the evil one , and not duly considering the points of his compass , t.o delivered from hla pulpit the first Blindly a tirade against card playing. On Monday the wealthiest member of his flock called on him and said : "Oh , dear Ilrother I'arker , your sermon was very unwUe. You will offend half your people If you talk against cards.Ve arc jufft a little quiet community all by nnr- Belves here , and we play cards whenever wo want to. Don't tuy anything more about card playing. " So the next Sunday the new preacher launched out on dancing. Again the wealthy member visited him to say that his church people had alnayi danced all they wanted to , and ho must not lay any thing more agalnit dancing. The evil of horse racing was his subject the following Sunday , and this brought the rich member to him In great distress of mind , "Great gondnetv , Hrother I'arker ! this Is ono of the finest horse tscrtlonii In the elate. You are beilde yourself when you try to put down horse racing , " "Well , " eald the despondent preacher. "If you say so I'll have to let theie ovlls alone. Next Sunday I'll abuio the Jews. " "All right , " remarked the wealthy mem ber , "but don't overlook the fact tint I'm the cnly Jew In your congregation. " LAItOIl AXU IXDUSTHY. Koine of the Drltlbli railways are adopt ing electric lighting for railway trains. The co-operative society or London , Eng. , employes 240 clerks and Its annual sales are upward of ? 50,000,000. After an Idleness of two years , the Do I'auw window glass factory at KIwood , Ind. , resumed operations last week with SCO em ployes. A Montreal judge ordered the stonecutters' union to pay a nonunion stonecutter $137.50 as damageii. They used no violence , but walked out whenever ho was engaged. On tbo Austrian state railway oil burning ; engines nru pronounced n great saccees. In a recent lest steam pressure was Increased from 45 to ISO pounds In three minutes. The barber. * ' union of Minneapolis hat * asked shop proprietors ) to discontinue taking- soneatlon.il newspapers. They believe the , reading of these flavliy sheets "between cus tomer./ ' has a pernicious effect on the younger members of the craft. The report of the state factory Inspection * In New York advocates the reduction of the hour. ) of labor of womun under 21 yearn of ago and boys under IS years of ago employed In factories from wlxty liouru per week to forty-eight hours a wuk , or to an average of eight hours per day , ax liau been done In other btnteu. Through the efforts of the International Association of Machinists a commissioner baa , been appointed by the secretary of the navy to Inquire Into charges of neglect of duty , favoritism , \lolatlon cf the civil esrvlco laww , etc. , which have been preferred by the asso ciation against officials In the- Brooklyn navy yard. yard.Henry Henry D. Lloyd suggests that national and International congresses of labor and r.oclnl reform should be held , preparatory to anl culminating In a unified and universal dcin- oiHtratlon on the first day of May In tli first year of the now century. A law was passed In the state cf Now > ork In 1895 , giving the factory Inspector certain extraordinary powers rver bakeshops. Tiu ! uct was In force Just six months at th tlmn of closing the report. There were. I'J3S b.ikeshops liibpactfd under this law. A most revolting * tate of affairs was found In many bakcshops , especially In New York and Hrooklyii , Details are given showing : extreme uncleanllncis In bakcshops and woikmen , the presence cf swarming vermin , rodcnU and other animals In and about thu brend und flour ; the damp , unwholesome cellars In which the bread for a great part ot the population is baked ; contagious dlpeasea of the baker * , arid their Incredibly long houra of toll. At the preicnt rate of Increase of poula- tlon In the United Kingdom of Great Urltaln and Ireland 400,000 new persons have to bo provided for every year , either by emi gration or homo Industries. During tha present century alone the population of Great Urltaln has Increased from 10,500,000 to 30.000,000 at the present day , an Increase * of over 200 per cent , Charles Booth , tho' eminent statistician , maintains that In Eng. land alone each year about 1,000,000 peopla arc In receipt of poor-law relief. H statea further that "many people probably live In greater discomfort than those who frankly ) accept pauperism , and that one of every foun persons over C5 years of age U a paup r The richer classes live nearly twicer as lena ai the poor , the age of the rich averaging ) 05 yean , while that of the poor Ii only 21 yeara. The children of the poor din threa times as f st ai the children of the rlcb. "
