Twentieth and laril streets , entered hi
office early jcsterday morning , from appear
anccs he bcfloved that a baby cjclone hat

caused by a playful burglar with an axe am
a liberal supply of Christmas cheer on board
Hvcry article of furniture In the office wo
battered , cut and hacked. In his scarcl
for valuables the burglar had not stoppci
to unlock or to force drawers , but with
blow of an axe had split open every desk In
the room. The bookkeeper K desk and th
writing desk were both smashed. Th
knob had been knocked off the safe. Then
apparently angered that his visit was with
out results , the burglar had wantonly bat
tcrcd the other articles of furniture In th
olIlco , Including the telephone. The burgla
did not obtain much for hltj pains. H < o go
30 cents In pennies and a few postage stamps
The \osa \ to the company , hovvovci , will b
much greater , as It Is estimated that th
damage to the furniture Is somewhere be
tween $150 and $200
Entrance Into the place was effected fror

board fence In the back and was not balkct
by the barb wire which was laid on the toj
Then he smashed In n panel of the back dee
and thus got Into the olfico. He left In th

this disloyal elctmnt
Undoubtedly , In consequence of a larg
portion of the population being of dlslovn
tendencies , the visit of Grant and Shermai
was not relished. When the train arrive *
at the station It was met by n mob wh
followed the carriage , making their presunc
extremely obnoxious by the blowing of tl
horns , by hooting and It was said at tha
tlmo that they used unsavory eggs.
I recall the circumstances readily , belli
at that time a guest at the old Pacific hole
( boon after destrojcd by lire ) , and not out
heaid , but saw the mob , and deeply re
scntid their misconduct and Insults. It wa
reported that the mob was led bj a loca
merchant , at that tlmo notorious as a rcbc
sympathizer. Soon after the arilval of th
party at the hotel 1 attempted to go to m
room , but was restrained by the guard a
the foot of the st.ilrs until the landlon
Interfered and requested that I might b
permitted to pass.
In the broad hall at the head of the stair
ease , and In front of the parlors , a tal
grizzled boldlerly man was Impatient !
pacing except hlmtelf ( General Gran
being alone In the parlor ) there was no on
In sight. Almost Immediately the genera
for It was Sherman , spoke and we walla
up and down the hallway , he restless , angrj
Impatient , and talking constantly.
The toots of horns and the howls of th
mob could be plainly heard. Finally th
general , with rtscntmcnt rising at eac
sound coming In at the open window n
turned1 to me and said with great emphasis
"G d d n those devils , we whipped then
once ; d n it , we can do it again If ncccs
sarj1. "
The general was extremely angry. W
continued up and down the hall , ho wit
quick , restless strides , talking rapldlj , fo
ho icsentcd the uidlxnlty Soon a frlcm
came and asked If I had been presented t
General Grant. Wo went to the parlor an
found General Grant standing In the cento
of the room , a few citizens who had torn
up In the meantime were pajlng their re
spccts. I was Introuccd and shook the ham
of the "Silent General. " The room see
commenced to fill , so 1 therefore , retlict
carlv. Although I saw General Sherman .
number of times while he nsldtd In Nc \
York , and vvna tempted to tax his wondcrfn
memory for faces and Incidents , I had n
favorable opportunity without seeming t
Intrude upon him. But since the few mo
mcnls at the Pacific hotel , the hero of "th
.March to the Sea" has had a warm place In
my heart.
Nor did Iiagain eo General Grant , exccn
cs the Invalid nt his Mount McGiegor cot
tagc , when he was bitting on the porch BE
I passed and I was enabled to do silent honn
to the soldier , statesman and patriot. Onlj
a little later I again saw him In his casket
as ho lay In t > tatc In the city hall In Nev
York.
York.When
When General Grant died , my son , a jouni
lad , was at Saratoga Springs. He was will
mo when I passed General Grant's cottage
and to make an Impression upon his youn ; ,
mind I wrote him the following letter , which
was printed In a Saratoga paper and had a
large local circulation
"My Dear Son : General Grant Is dead
and I want to impress upon jour jouiif ,
mind , now that jou saw the general while
a joung boy , so that In future jears when
the memory of Grant is honored and rcverei
more than now jou may be proud to recal
that you saw him. General Grant was a
great soldier He commanded more mei
than any general of modern times. Ht
never lest a battle. Twlco president , a pa
trlot and statesman , model husband am
father , ho filled with modesty and honor
every position In life to which ho was called
and his name will go down to history at , one
of the greatest of Americans. Don't evci
permit anyone to shake jour confidence In
Grant As we pae-ml his cottage at Mt
MtGrcgor I told jou to raise your hat. You
little appreciated then that I wonted jou to
show reaped to one of America's greatest
men. Well might jou lift jour hat In honoi
of such a man and hero Papa "
