towards Richmond. Before daylight on
the ,morning of the third day’s battle
Rev. H. E. Wing, then the Tribune’s army
messenger, was-sent back by us across the
country with dispatches for that paper.
Grant had cut loose from all communi-
cation with Washington, and Wing had
to ride through a hostile country, some
forty miles, and made Brandy Station
about nightfall. Here he found a small
guard and an army telegraph line net yet
removed. He at once telegraphed Secre-
tary Stanton for permission to wire hié
dispatches through to the Tribune. The
‘cautious secretary replied, “Send along to -
thc wardcpartment everything you have
and we will then judge‘ of the propri-
ety of forwarding to New York.” Wing
knowing the intense anxiety that must be
felt in Washington and throughout the
country, and knowing he had the only
news which had reached an outlet, warily
replied: “My dispatches are the property ~
of the New York Tribune, and I have no
right to-se'nd them forward except upon
your aSSuranc'e-that the'Tv-ibune shall in-
stantly get them.” General Eckert, now
' vice-president of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, wns at the instrument,
and soon the President and most of the
members of the cabinet were notified~
that a Tribune messenger was in from
Grant's army 'and all hurried to Mr.
Stantén‘s room. Among others who came
was Assistant Secretary of War Dana,
' who, (after the President had compli-
mented Wing on his neWSpaper enterprise
and sagacity, and ordered Stanton to
forward his dispatches), telegraphedWing
that he, Dana. would be out during the
night on the ears with an escort of cavalry
and wished him to remain at Brandy
Station in order that he might pilot or
direct him back to Grant’s army, the loca-
tion of which was then unknown at
the war department. The absence of all
tidings from it had filled Mr. Lincoln and
his great war secretary with the deepest
solicitudc, and the President had requested
Mr. Dana, as the close friend of Grant, to
go out and overtake him and remain at
army headquarters, and improve every
possible chance of sending him, all an-
thentic information of his successes or re.
verses. From Mr. Dana we first learned
the successful results of \Ving’s trip to
the rear, and of the Tribune’s“bcat” of all
its rivals in its fllll details of the news of
Grant’s first battle as commander of the
army of the Potomac. We had ridden
across the country from Culpcpcr with
headquarters in the immediate company
of Hon. Elihu B. 'Washbnrn. He had
been our closest companion during. the
first three or four (lays of fighting. Grant
and his staff had established themselves
on a high sugar-loaf shaped hill to the
southeast of his main army,much like our
Grumman’s hill on East avenue. Just be-
fore sunset, and when the Sixth corps
was most hotly cugaged,down rode a staff
officer in mad haste and up the hill to
Grant saying that General Scdgewick had
been killed and the Sixth corps was broken
and rented. In an instant up rode General
Mead, as white as a sheet and trembling
all over with nervous excitement, and re-
peated the same news. In a moment that
terrible rebel yell was heard approaching
the hill and swelling in volume and force.
Sooner than we can relate, a stampede of
the Union army was visible on all sides.
Thousands upon thousands of .men and
horses and overturned ambulances and
caissons were racing pcll mcll in from the
front and spreading as far as the eye
could reach to the southeast and south-
west. Mr.Washburn and the writer stood
within ten feet of and facing Grant who sat
on the ground at the foot of a pine free
during this break in the Sixth corps'-lincs
and the inauguration of what, but for his
cool, prompt, and decisive action, would
have proved a worse rout than either Bull
Run disaster. He was a study to both
of us. Mr. Washburn had never witnessed
anything of the sort, and had never before
seen his cherished protege in such a sin-
prelnc c‘risis. To add to the terrors of the
situation the rebel artillery began to shell
the headquarter hill, and men and horses
were being hit and killed by the shot and'
flying splinters of the exploding rebel shells.
The first word spoken by Grant was to
order Mead to dispatch all the reserve
cavalry to head off, surround and check the
stampede. Next he 'quictly remarked:
“Boys, I guess you had better get ready
all the horses; it may get too hot for us to
remain here." All this time the rebel
“yell,” more terrifying than the roar and
bursting of their \Vhitworth shells, was
bearing towards us, all the time Grant
sat beside the tree without the movement
of a muscle, save the quick and nervous
biting of the stub of his cigar. Within
a dozen lninutcs a most vigorous Union
cheer in our immediate front rent the air,
followed instantly by a long, extended
volley of musketry. At this, Grant. at a
single spring, jumped upon his feet and,
apparently addressing the pallid and
greatly' agitated Mr. Washburn, said:
“It’s all right——our line has been rc-formed
—'-those are our shots; the enemy now is
being driven;” all of which was quite
correct. An hour latcrit was ascertained
that Sedgewick’s horse only was killed,
and he slightly injured by the fall. . Two
hours later the cavalry had crowded back
to their regiments the fleeing soldiers, and
by ten o’clock that night the Union army
was again in .full “retreat by left flank to—
wards Richmond.” Mr. Crapsey, latterly
somewhat widcley known as a political
writer upon the 1N. Y. Times, wasd/hcn

ence, the Union Ariny would have again

disciplincd by Gen. Mead, although he
expressed the general conviction of all the
army correspondents. -
Another incident now ,rccallcd was
being at headquarters before the rebel
earthworks at Gold Harbor when General
Hancock rode into camp. He was cor—
dially greeted by General Grant, when
Hancock quietly remarked: “General, I
have personally rcconnoitcrcd the enemy’s
works and I am satisfied that it will be
impossible for my corps to carry them,
andIcame to express the hope that for Lincoln was when Hallock was urging

said to have replied: .

your order.” Grant firmly, but with the
kindest tone and manner, replied to Han-
“Gencral, it will be impossible to
ing.” The battle was fought. The blood-
iest and deadliest of all the contests bc- -
tween Washington and Richmond, and
no decisive result was gained.
Again Grant “retreated by the left
flank towards Richmond." A few days
later the New York papers were brought
into camp with the letters of the war cor.
respondents, and the editorial comments
thereon. The Tribune and especially the
World criticized the Cold Harbor battle
unsparingly as a necdlcsg waste of life.
General Horace Porter read these editorial
aloud, and it was the only occasion we
ever saw General Grant betray irritation
or uneasiness. After comments by one

and had the child on his kneccarcssing it,

on from the po‘rch. , '
The winter following Lee’s surrender to
Grant, he and General Sherman became
neighbors, both living with their families
in what is. kub'wn as the Douglas block on
Istrcet, Washington. General and Mrs.
Grant gave a party, at which the President
and most‘of the distinguished people at
the capital were present. In" the course
'of the evening, Senator Howe of Wiscon-
sin, cssaying to say something pleasant. to
Mrs. Grant, who was chatting with Henry
Wilson and a bevy of ladies, remarked:
“Well, Mrs. Grant, do you know that we
politicians have determined upon making
your good husband our -—ncxt. president;
what do you think of that.” “Ithink
if you do, you will make a man president
‘who may give 'you some trouble. At
least, you will find that he won’t always
do as you might wish him to, do,—tllat he
will be pretty sure to have his own way
about things; at least, he always does
about home, I know.” The General drifted
by just in time to hear his wife’s witty
thrust at hi§ well-known quality of firm-
ness, and joined as heartily as any of the
company in the laugh that followed.
. When he finally became President, he
probably relied more than ever before
upon the sound judgment and'upsclfish
advice of the most revered and cherished
of his, friends, General Rawlins. General
R. had become the husband of a Danbury
lady in the early years of the war. He
was a widower and she a widow and both
llad children.‘ This fact of a local ill-
tcrest in General R., added to his genial
courtesy towards all decent newspaper
scribes, soon made us. friends. He
invited and followed suggestions in' re-
gard to placing his step-sons at the
,Weston boarding school, previous to the
principal having proved himself unwarthy
of confidence. Soon after Grant’s election
to the Presidency we met Rawlins and
suggested General Joseph R. Hawley, who
had been made chairman of the convention
which nominated Grant, as the New
England member of the cabinet.
He said: “I had myself fixed on Hawley
in' my own mind as the best man for
New England’s place in the cabinet. I
haven’t had an opportunity-to talk it up
with Grant, but will take the first chance
Ihavc to do so.” Soon afterwards General
Rawlins, with much gratification. stat-
cd that he had urged Hawlcy’s name
for secretaly of the navy, and “I think,”
said he, “that it is all right and that he
will receive an invite from the President.”
The 4th of March came, and when the
cabinet was announced, to his disappoint-
ment and others, General Hawley’s name
did not appear. The first chance to
interview Rawlins resulted in his saying
that.son‘1e one had gotten hold of Grant
and made him believe that flawlcy was
arrogant, stubborn, captions, surly and
cross in his disposition, and would prove
a most uncomfortable cabinet associate.
Continuing, he said Grant could forgive
his firmness and stubborness, for he has
plenty of that quality himself, but being
made to believe that Hawley was of an.
irritable temper, he thought it wisest to
select another. What enemy it was that
thus influenced President Grant against
General Hawlcy, General Rawlins stated
he never learned. The poisoned shaft,
however, robbed Hawlcy of the honor of
a place in Grant’s cabinet.
While Grant was President :1 Norwalk
soldier was ushered into his presence by
gallant Colonel Waite, then, as now, the
useful and honored representative Of the
3d district of our state in' congress. The
soldier was destitute and ill and wished a
clerkship. Grant listened to his appeal
and Colonel Waite’s endorsement of his
capabilities and worth, but he said I know
.very little about the department. clerk—
ships, and don’t know where you could
find a vacancy. “Pardon me, Mr. Presi-
dent,” said the soldier, “but you know
and I know that Andy Johnson, while
President, justhoncycombed all the dc.‘
partments with rebels and rebel sympa—
thizers, and vacancies should be made by
removing every unrepentant rebel, while
any competent Union soldier stands in
need of and will accept a place.” “You
are right, my man,” said Grant, “and if
you will furnish me the evidence that any
such man is holding office under this
government, I will see that you have his
place in less than an hour.” “Satisfied,”
replied the Nor-walk boy, and in less than
an hour he brought incontrovertible proofs
that just such a disloyal clerk was holding
place in the Post Office department. True
to his word General Grant ordered the
rebel dismissed ,1 and that afternoon Colonel
Henry Allen was sworn into his place.
After the surrender of Lee, Messrs. Cro-
fut & Knapp,” the leading Norwalk‘ hat
manufacturers,wishing to present General
Grant a hat of tlleir'bcst ivorklnanship,
forwarded us a request for the size of his
head, and were astonished at being in-
formed that a man so much under the
usual stature,(about five feet, six),‘wore a
No. 8 hat. This hat, which was of ex-
quisite texture and finish, made up in
army style, was personally 'deliverpd to
the general, as was subsequently another
equally fine and beautiful, and of even
larger size to General Garfield with the
compliments of the generous and enter-
prising Norwalk makers,‘ Messrs. Crofut
do Knapp. .

Grant’s personal habits in early life. and in
the army. Noman lovcd truth and purity

the fact, but his chief excess was smoking.
No one, we are confident, saw any appears

but on or off duty, awake and when ap-

which has at last destroyed his life.

He is reported to have said that he experi-

Geheral Grant’s Funeral.
The funeral oration of Rev. Dr. New-
man was delivered this forenoon at Mt.
McGregor previous to the departure of the
remains and cortcge to Albany, .where the
body will lie in state in the capitol until
tomorrow, when it will be transferred to
City Hall, New York, to lie in state until
Saturday morning. The funeral parade
will be the most magnificent military and
civil demonstration ever seen in New
York. It is estimated that there will be
more than 200,000 men in line including
the most noted dignitaries of the country.
The arrangements are under the direction
of Gen. Hancock. The interment will be
made in a temporary tomb in Riverside
Park overlooking both the Hudson and
East rivers. The line of march is about
ten miles long, but it has been decided to
disband the parade at 59th Street. instead
of compelling the great hosts of Grand
Army men and civilians to march the en-
tire distance at the risk of being overcome
with the heat, only the regular troops and
appointed escort continuing the march to
the tomb. A fleet consisting of naval and
private vessels will lie in the North river
opposite Riverside Park during the core-
monies with proper display of mourning.
President Cleveland and, cabinet will oc-

after the presidential party will come Gov-
ernors of the different states with their
staffs. g
Gen. Hancock’s aides comprise promi-
nent members of the Union and Confeder.
ate armies, and the pallbearers who were
appointed by President Cleveland combine
the blue and gray under circumstances
that render the combination one of touch-
ing significance. , . .
Work on the tomb is ‘being vigorously
pushed day and night, and the spot is con-
stantly beseiged by relic hunters whoibeg
for chips of the brick, and pocket cobble-
stones and dirt thrown up from the exca-
vation. ’
The fund for a monument to Gen. Grant
is swelling under the management of a
committee appointed by Mayor Grace. It
is hoped the fund will reach at least
$1,000,000.
The body has been cmbalmed and pre-
sents a life-like appearance. It is dressed
in a black broadcloth suit, with slippers
and White stockings; a single gold stud
glistens on the shirt. front, and a plain
gold ring which the General wore many
years, is on his finger. ' In the breast-
pocket of his coat has -been deposited a
note written by Mrs. Grant, saying “Farc-
wcll till we meet in a better world."

' Our Cemetery.
A stockholder in the Norwalk cemetery
wishes us to denounce the financial -man-
agcmcnt of the cemetery association. He
says ever since the change in its officers
was made several years since, the funds of
the assOciation llavc_becn frittered away
upon one subterfuge or another, or with-
held from the stockholders mainly for the
benefit of one person. That there are
now funds enough on hand tmdeclare a
dividend, and the claim that the money is
needed to clear the avenues is false pre-
tense, as Mr. Bates does that for the ex—
clusive right granted him of opening all
graves and caring for individual lots, and
the moment he tires of the job half a dozen
others stand ready to take the same rc-
munerative contract.
We know very little of the exact con-
dition of the cemetery’s financial affairs.
We only know that fully four years ago
the late Mr‘. Olmstcad assured us there
was no difficulty in paying a small annual
dividend to those who had put their money
into the association, and that there was
then money enough to declare more than
a legal interest dividend. No dividend
‘was declared, however, until the present
spring, and if new there is money enough
_(in hand to declare another, plainly its
» owners ought to have the benefit of it.

I am told that a joke is current among a
few kindred spirits in your immediate
business neighborhood that is keenly rel-
ished by those in the circle. I found it
out through my sister, who found in her
husband’s pocket a note book with these
cabalistic utterances immediately follow-
ing the minutes of the last meeting of the
Sunday School Tcaélicrs' association :—
“Refrcshment Booth, J. G. 0., proprietor,
F. H. R., agent; J. B. H., attorney gen-
janitor. , A Joke on the Boys.” Now can
you throw any light on this joke? My
sister has pumped her husband about it,
but he will only say, “it‘s only a joke on
the boys.”

These dog days have developed numer-
ous cases of “mad dog" in various local-
ities, and I hear of frequent instances
where dogs affected by the heat have been
killed by their owners through pity or
fear or: both. This brings to mind an
incident that occurred under my observaé
tionafew nights ago. My sister’s hus-
band, at whose house I am staying, has
an intelligent and handsome coach-dog
named Fanny, who is evidently the belle
dog of the neighborhood. The number of
her canine admirers, who came, around to
serenade her, had begun to bc'a nuisance
to the family, and it was resolved to abate
it. Accordingly my sister’s husband load-
ed up a shot-gun with pepper and salt,
and lay in wait. After everything was still
on the night in question’thc vigilant senti-
nel, with gun in hand, saw a big .dog
approaching Fanny’s kennel in a stealthy ’
fashion, whining to announce his coming.
Fanny'whined in recognition, and was
"just coming out to meet her Romeo, who
had reached the kennel door, when
“bang!" went the gun, and the big dog
with a “ki-yi” that told of pain and fright
and pepper and salt, turned .~tail and
bounded homeward like a rocket with a
big charge of seasoning in the seat of his
breeehes. A passer-by asked my sister’s
husband if the dog was mad. “No,” {was
the reply, “but he’s got the best right to
get mad of any dog in ‘Norwalk in view
'of the unexpected result of his visit. He
isn’t half as mad as he is disappointed.”

It was told me by my sister’s husband,
who says there’s no doubt about its truth.
A local dignitary, prominent and popular
in upper circles, Of good repute and pleas-
ing whiskers, went a few days ago in
company with two young ladies, for a sail
down the sound. It may be well, perhaps,
to parenthetiCally state firstly that our hero
is a widower. and one of the young ladies
is his daughter; sc§0ndly that the role of
widower is distasteful to him and the other
young lady is his daughter’s most intimate
friend with his approval. But about the
sail. Everything went on swimmingly on
the outward trip, and until the trio were
approaching Bell Island, when a sudden
gust of wind caught the sail and capsized
the boat in a jiffy, spilling the occupants
into the briny wqters of the sound. _ They
managed to clutch the sides of the boat,
however, and there they hung. Our hero,
being at a loss to imagine which of the
young ladies, according to the cxactions
of etiquette, he would be required to
rescue, determined to split the difference
by letting each take her chances, and ad-
vising them to join him in one desperate
last resort of shouting for help. They
acquiesced, and the vocal trio that was.“
waftcd from that bottom-side-up craft, on
the wings of the wailing cross—sound
zephyrs, to the cars Of the Bell Islanders
was painfully suggestive of home-sickness,
wet feet and a mouse in a millinery shop.
A life saving corps immediately set out
for the ship-wrecked mariners and brought
them ashore, where they wore the cos-
tulncs of the natives until their own
clothes got dry on the hucklebcrry bushes,
and sailed for home on the return voyage
after dark in a two-seated wagon driven
by a darkcy. The daughter and the 'other
young lady are still somewhat intimate,
but somehow the daughter seems to do
most of the calling.

I understand that one of our promising
young lawyers has served a warrant of
attachment upon the heart of a young
lady in Georgetown, who reciprocates,
and she has been summoned to appear for
a hearing before some orthodox minister
of good moral character and inoffensive
partisanship in the hamlet of Georgetown,
some time this fall. The “Ramblings” are
beginning to bring forth fruit. This fact
is further demonstrated by the report of
an engagement between another young
lawyer of Nor-walk and a fair daughter of
VViftou. Success and happiness attend
them "all, say I. But wherein do we ,find
the cause of this disposition on the part of
our marriageable young men, to seek their
helpmcets abroad? Norwalk is overrun with
girls combining all the virtues of a desir-
able disposition with good sense and sound
judgment; girls capable, willing and even
anxious to fill all the requirements of the
