next President. Speaking lrom a
personal knowledge of Mr. Cleve

as Maypr of Buffalo and then as
governor of this state, there is no
reason to fear but that he will fill

GRANT AND BEAUREGARD.
MMtlng of Tbeso Famous Generals tks Other
Chicago Herald!,
It is a mistake in heroes when
ever they neglect to be six feet in
height! Two men met in the pub
lication office of a New York mag
azine, for which both had agreed to
write articles. They were intro
duced to each other, and I watched
them very interestedly, because
they weie General Grant and Gen-,
eral Beauregard. The visible splen
dors of war had departed from them
with their uniforms, and their civil
ian coats were even' glossed by
wear in spots Where gold lace once
had shown. Grant walked heavily
with a cane, nev.er having entirely
recovered from the hurt to liis hip
in a last Christmas nighf fall on an
iev sidewalk. His hair and whis
kers had the shapes made familiar
by his portraits, but .his r lowness of
stature was deplorable, because he
was rather slouchy anicT fat as well.
He looked more like s plain. matter-
of-fact merchant than the foremost
General of.a great war,'. Beaure
gard’s head.was all that could,have
mperial
hue, and the outlines' df a military
model, but . he needed n six! finches
more of body and legsin. .order to
inspire any sense of grandeur. Did
they fall into heated' antagonism, as
champions of once 'opposed hosts?
Notatall. They did not so much
as . discuss . the struggle, calmly.

Their topic was Grant* • lamepess,
which he said he did not expect to
ever get rid '6f,'' and Beauregard’s
