The Old Maa Grant —« 0 The. number and variety of stories which are told of old Jesse Grant, the individual to whom we are indebted for our present stable ; government, are past computation. Here is the last one: A youngi man over in Covington the other day, met and accosted old Jesse, although ignorant as to who Lc was, and requested him to furnish him with change for a live dollar bill. He accede 1. and while making the necessary transfer, being loth to lose an opportunity for making himself known, he took occasion to say, “Young man. do ; you know that you are talking to the father of the greatest man in ' ibis country lleyßas nnmedij ately informed by the party ad- i dressv J'triathe was not aware that he stood in the presence of one who had that proud distinction. “Yes,” resumed the garrulous Jesse, handing over the desired change. “I am the father of the most illustrious hero this country ever produced.” The young man looked at him for a moment with an expression of grave astonishment on his tae«». and then exclaim-

All GIG Picture. ® From the New Orleans Picayune. ■* hi one of the Gravier street cos- j I fee-houses n row of splcm'inl pic • I ttires adorns the walls. Near the : I center is one worn and defaced by i I age. It yet discloses the enn-i IningfOf a master mind, and h : | .the workoT an artist of re-1 i piite. It represents a lady of the- ■ court of the Grand .Monarch, and jis remarkable for the exquisite ' beauty of the face, and finish and : .elegance of its attire. There issomething about it thr.t t-Ils theobserver that it is no erection c-f the imagination, but the semblance: of one who lived and suffered. > The proprietor speaks of it with ’ reserve, ami yet views it with a| reverence bestowed upon none of ! ; the rest. Its history, ho-.vrver. is! I known to n.any, and a romantic : . story is woven with the worn pic-j lure, that carries.witli it a fascii-a- : tion as engaging as a story t.-f th?. crusade or a legend of the Tern plars. It is said she was the daughter i of an old colonial govt-mor, etlt; ’ cated at St. Cloud, and one of the! ; noted beauties of that brilliant ; court. Coming to Louisiana with her father, she formed the acquain- , tancc ami ciigag: d the ntfeetjvi-s of a young ofiicer in the colonial militia. Other views, however, I were entertain, d for her by !r r . family, and when her attach.rgei.t ’ 1 became known she was cunlhud i:: a ceil in the oi l mr.nsiu:! in Bieii ville street, to reduce her tOol.>edi . cnee. Here she committed s i - The story went out that she i.r 1 been murdered. The j opul: cc rose in arms, cud demanded that] the body should be suLj.-cted toj i inspection, and that phy.-icians efi I repute should deci-le forth •::! the 1 i manner of her death.' Her father.' j broken hearted at the death of his ' (child, shortly afterward returned to his native land. And now conies the sequel to the st cry. It'is claimed that the cO’.ntr s mar-' , ried, before her death, the youn rl i inililiaraan. and left a soii. The desx : nd-. :,ts of this i.uue I w live in the city, audciaitn •.:>:?»- the immense landed estate of the j , f proprietor,, which went to col-' ‘ iaG't ::>.l .h.'irs, 1-cicr.gs to them.!

If it he true that these new claim ant; assert a.titlo to these anek ht 1 estates, a field will be open for' ’ speculation and romance as vivid:' 'as ever engaged the pen ofTht” novelest —lull of st:a?ige episodes. i truths like fiction, and a ovei tng : j over ail more brilliant to the mind, ■and fascinating to one in quest of, i the imfrvclous, than the. dreams of' ! the poet, er the legends of fairyland.

The Toaiue S.oS ’Cncd. There was a king of Lydia ini ”lde;i times, j think his mini-- w.ts Cnvs'.is. who i;:yd a son who had the misfortune to be totally dumb. In i silence his childhoed.andloylio passed into youth; the prince, dwelt in the splimdid court of his father, unable to utter a word.! Then came dreadful misfortunes, j The Be.'staus fought the Lydians, j and Crft'sas was overthrow :i. A: soldier was about to kill the tin j happy monarch, of wao.-e rank ho, was Dot aware, before the eves of' his son ; when, in that moment of: horror, fear and love did what lni-j man skill had. not done. ‘’Sparc him; lie is the king”’cried the pYince. The string which tied his tongue had broken, from his efforts to save his father. If we were as twfxious to snatch others from eternal death, as this poor prince was to save Lis father, we Should, find ’ that we, too,- could speak; we! should no longer be silent and dumb, on the subject of heaven and hell. — ■■ — Forgot Souictliing. There was a story, during t’:e war, of one of Sherman's bum mers, who met a Southern count: v gentleman in cue of his excur sions, and stopped him. “Come out from under that hat.” exclaim cl the bummer. “1 see you there.”' I'he unlucky victim delivered his l hnt. “Now come out of thorn, boots." added the bummer, and his orders being o’n'ycd. “Crawl cut of that coat." said ho, “and be

quick acout it." Having robbed the mail successively also of his shirt. Ins trowscrs, and a finderring. the bummer was riding 01T. when his victim stopped him. “Look here, mister, -you forgot something." and pulled out a quid yf tobacco from his month, and banded it to him, "You'd be ru inert if vou left that."
