Wish-Ton-Wish. THE PRESIDENT*8 LITTLE FARM IN MISSOURI. Corre*pondenee Toledo Blade. About five miles south of St. Louis, on a smooth turnpike, is Wl«h-ton-Wish, the home of General Grant Here is the President’s little farm of 666 acres. On a hill side, slop- in to ttao south and west, is a somewhat infe rior looking, two story, five room frame house with a goodly porch ,to protect it from the southern sun. When first built this was one of the few frame houses outside of the city. The saw mill had not been moved out West; and the only tools used to build the house were the ax, hatchet, hammer, fro and draw ing-knife, while the 8x10 window glass were the most palatial then manufactured. Near by are distinguishable the remains of an old “ trace ” or Spanish road, planted with black locusts, that have evidently been growing about fifty years. Such is the Dent homestead of former timas, then called White Haven by its owner. At this place, twenty- ! five years and two months ago, there was a j wedding. Tbo groom was U. S. Grant, a | young officer from Jefferson Barracks, the t military post of Sc. Louis, the bride was Miss ; Julia B. Dent; and we presume those old j locusts, if the could talk, might reveal the j secrets of a ^Jdier’s courtship. Soon after ! the marriage/ Grant resigned, and General Dent gave th^ young couple eighty acres of ] timber laud. Here they built a small house, which was soon abandoned for the larger house of General Dent. If Grant was not a success as a farmer, he certainly was as a chopper. Here he exhibited the same per sistence and vigor which have made him the military hero of our age. As SUMMER RESORTS.

William Elrood, a cousin of Grant’s, has had charge of the farm for the past six years, and is fast bringing it up from the decay into which it had fallen during the war. ilr- Elrood is one of those honest-hearted, whole-souled men whose very presence is a source of pleasure. He has been known to remark that there was “some ; good cider in the house;” but his nature didn’t permit him to stop talking after he bad mude the remark until be had put on another very gratifying thought, expressed in this way: •“ I’d like you to come in and try some.” He kindly showed us the fine stock of which the President is such an admirer. There were about forty horses and as many cattle, a few sheep and” much pork. The famous Hol stein cattle, recently imported from Europe, are the most admired.

Da enough or good enough or he used too much solder, and he was literally whipped to death; he was whipped thirty-eight times on the bare back in one month, getting five, eight or ten lashes with a heavy cat each time; the lashes were laid on his back as hard as a strong man could lay them, he would come back to the shop with his back all lacerated and bleeding; sometimes he was put in the dark and cold cells over night. When a prisoner is whipped, there is no re cord of how many lashes he received; all thatU is put down is one black mark against him. PLEiCHER When George Gill was on his death-bed, he ! named two officers and said, “They have killed me.” Another prisoner who was tor tured until he died was J. Fierce. If a pris oner is found with a newspaper in his posses sion, he is punished with from eight to thir teen fashes on the bare back.
