The book will be la two voluWs of about Ave hundred pages each, Tho first- volume aad nearly all the second are now written. The book will, II 1 claimed, contain the Inside history ol several important ojeratlons hlthertc nadivulsjed or Incorrectly described, The dedication of the work Is In the following word! 'The voltnnns are dedicated to the American .soldier and sailor. Signed U. S. Gkakt. 'New York, May 23, 18S3," la describing his orlsln, General Grant says he is of the eighth generation in descent frota Matthew Grant, who came to America from Dorchester, Eng., in 1650, and settled at Dorchester, Mass. General Grant's great-grandfather, Noah Grant, was an officer In the English ray In the war of 1756 agalust the French and Indians, aud his grandfather, Noah Grant, fought la the revolution against England. Grant was bora at Point Pleasant, Ohio, lie received his appointment at "West Polat through Uoa. Thomas Morris, Senator from Ohio. The fact that he had bo early learning toward military life Is shown by his at first wishing to refuse the appointment. His father, a nan not to to be refused, told hira to go, and be west. His reluctance arose frota a fear that he would not pass the examination. Oa May 24th, 1801, Grant wrote to the Adjutant-General, efcriny the Government his military en-Ice la any capacity. No notice was taken of the letter, and it Is not preserved In the Mies of the War Department. Geaeral Grant, la describing his irst meeting with the enemy, when be commanded a regiment, naively admits that he was very much frightened. On seeing the retreat of the opposition force without awaltlB attack, the idea struck him that their commander was probably as ranch frightened as he was. This view of the natter remised la fiis mind, and he ever thereafter felt trepidation in the presence of the enemy. In his comments pon the niach-tllscussed battle of Shlloh, General Grant dissents from the Idea that if Johnson had not seen killed the Confederates would have wen and annihilated Grant's array. He remarks:" "Ifs" defeated the Confederates at Shlloh. We shoald have been disgrace! ally beaten "If" all the ballets ired by us had passed harmlessly over the enemy and "if" all of theirs had taken effect jrne fact that Johnston was leading the brigade to Induce it to make a charge which had been repeatedly ordered Ls evidence that there was neither the universal demoralization oa ear side nor the unbounded ceaftdeace oa theirs which has been claimed. There was, In fact, no boar during the day when I doubted the eventual defeat of the enemy. Grant says that Colonel William Preston Johnson's description of the battle Is very graphic, and caases the reader to wonder why the Federal troops were not nil killed. "I witnessed the tight," somewhat sarcastically adds the Genera). I see but lit le la the description that I can recognize. The Confederate troops fought well, and deserve commendation enough for their bravery and endurance on the 6th of April, without detracting from their antagonist

r.ie General makes

amends to General Anson D. McCoofc, by

explaining a remark In his Ucntury article oa Shlloh to the effect that McCook was was unwilling to pursue the enemy on April 7th, because of the condition of his troops. General Grant ays the remark has been misinterpreted. Be sustained McCook and merely mentioned the fact as a matter of history, lie then pays a high tribute to McCook's gallantry. General Grant first met Lincoln when called tq Washington to receive his commission as I.lcutenantGcneral In Match, iSbi. Iu my first interview with Mr. Lincoln, he stated to me that he bad never professed to bo a military man, or to know how campaigns should be conducted, and never wanted to interfere In them, but that procrastination on the part of commander and pressure of the people t the North, aud of Congress, which, Like the poor, he had always with him, Jwd forced hire into issuing his Wellknown series of executive orders. He did not know but that they were all -wrong, and did not know that some of 'them were. All he wanted, or ever had -wanted, he said, was that some one wonld take the responsibility ad act, and call upon him for all the assistance needed. Grant first met Stanton at Loaisvllle. Stanton handed him two orders, saying he could take his choice. Both crested a military division of the Misjlssippi, giving Grant, command of It, and were ideatical, hut that one left the department commanders as they were, while the other relieved Rosecrans and assigned Thomas to his place. "I accepted the latter," says 'General Grant. After Rosecrans' defeatat Chlckatnaugaand retreat upon Chattanooga, Grantsays Stanten sent for him, and in great exoUement told him that further retreat mast be prevented. WI Immediately wrote an order assuming command of the division -of the Mississippi, and telegraphed it to General Koeecrans. I then telegraphed him from Washington, assigning to Thomas the command of the army of the Cnmberlaad, and told Thomas that he must hold ChattaHooga at all koaardg." The following may be regarded as General Grant's reply to assertion that saperlor numbers gave him the inftl victory in Iks battle ol ItiM

Wilderness: "Operating la an enemy's, eantry aad supplied always from a distant base, a large delaehmtmt had at all times to be sent from the front to guard the base of supplies leading to It. We were also operating In a country ankaowH to us and without a competent guide or maps showing the roads accurately. Intimating Leu's strength In tho same manner as ours, the enemy had ho less titan SO, 000 men at the start. Ills re luforceiuents during the campaign were about equal to ours, deducting our discharged on-1) and those sunt back. Lea wa bit the defensive and in a country In which every stream, every road, every obstacle to the movement of troops, aud every natural defense was familiar. The citizens were all friendly, and furnished him accurate won of our every movement. Itear guards were not necejsary for him. aud luvltm always a railroad at his back, large wason trains were not required. All cltcuni.-tauces considered, we did not have any advantage of numbers. More ievero fighting has not been witnessed on this continent than that of the 5th and Gthof .May, 1S(H. Onr victory consisted in having successfully crossed a formidable stream almost In the face of the enemy, and getting the army together afterward as a unit. We gained au advantage on the morning of the 3th, which, If It had been followed up, must have proven very decisive. In the evening the enemy gained au advantage, but was speedily repulsed. As we stood at the close, the two armies were relatively in about the same condition to meet each other as when the river had divided them. Hut the fact of safely crossing was a victory. On the morning ol the 7th wc sent out pickets and skirmishers to discover the position of the eucmy, but Lee showed no dlso8ltlou to come out. About midday Warren was directed to make (a reconnlsance in force. This drew some sharp tiring, but there was no attempt on the part of the rebels to drive him back. This ended the battle of the Wilderness. Our losses in the Wilderness were 2.2IG killed, 8,785 wounded and 2,902 missing probably nearly all the latter captured by the enemy. In giving reminiscences of Lee's surrender, General Grant says: "I found General Lcc had been brouzht into our lines and conducted to a house belonging to a Mr. McLean, and was there with one of his staff awaiting my arrival. The head of bis column was occupying a hill, a portloa whieh was an apple orchard. Wars produce many stories of fiction. The story of the apple tree is one of those Actions with a alight foundation of fact Running diagonally up the hill was a wagon road, which at one point ran very near one of the trees of the orchard, so that the wheels hail cm off the roots of the trees which made a little embankment. General Babcock reported to me that when he first met General Lee he was sitting upon this embankment with his feet la the road and leaning against the tree, It was then that Lee was conducted Into the house where I first met him. 1 had known General Lee In the old army and had served with him In the Mexican war, but I did not suppose, owing to the d'ffcrenccs in our ages and rank, that he would probably remember nic, while I would remember him more distinctly because he was the Chief Engineer on the staff of General Scott in the Mexican war. When I had left camp that morning, I had not expected the result so soon that was then taking place, and consequently was in rough garb, and, I believe, withoat a sword, as I usaally was when en horseback oa the 'field, wearing a soldier's blouse for a coat with shoulder straps of mr rank to represent who I was. When I went Into the house I found General Lee; we greeted each other, and after shaking hands took our seats. What his feelings were I do not know, being a man of mach dignity and with an impenetrable face; but my own feelings, which had been quite apparent on the receipt of his letter, were sad and depressed. I felt like anything rather than enjoyment at the downfall of a foe that had fought so long and so gallantly, and had suffered so much for a cause which 1 believed to be one of the worst for which a people ever foaght, and for which there was not the least pretext. I do not question, however, the sincerity of the great mass of those who were opposed to us. General Lee was dressed In futl uniform entirely, wearlBg a sword of considerable value, very likely the sword that had been preseatcd to him by the State of Virginia; at all events, it was an entirely different sword from the one that would ordinarily be worn In the field. In my rough traveling salt, which was the uniform of a private, with the straps of a General, I must have contrasted very strangely with a man so handsomely dressed, six feet high and of faultless form, bat this was not a matter that I thought of until afterward. General Lee and I soon fell into a conversation about old army times. He remarked that he remembered me very well In the old army. Our conversation grew so pleasant that I almost forgot the object of our meeting. General Lee was accompanied by one of his staff, Colonel Marshall. I had all of my staff with me, a good portion of whom were In the room daring the whole of the Interview." WmU the Vrrttlet Kecnmlctrrril. St. Louis, Mo., June 8. -Lieutenant L. K. Reynolds, of the United States Navy, and generally known as one ot tho rescuers of the Greely Arctic exploration party, arrived in St. Louis this morning, and is the guest of Mr. C. K. Alburn. The sad death of Lieutenant Reynolds' father, Mr. George W. Reynolds, at the Southern Hotel last week, Is the business which has brought the young officer to St. Louis. Mr. Reynolds' family have been greatly shocked and grieved at the verdict brought In by the Deputy Coroner, who declared that Mr. Reynolds bad committed suicide.

By our original system of diagnosis, we can treat many chronic diseases Just as successfully without as with a personal consultation. W bile we are always glad to nee our patients, and become acquainted with them, 6bow them our Institutions, and familiarise them with our evitcm of treatment, yet wo bnvo not seen one person In Ave hunOTcd whom we haw cured. Tho perfect accuracy with which '.cientists are enabled to deduce the most minute particulars i.i their several departments, appears almost miraculous, if we view it in the light of the- early ages. Take, for example, the f Jectro-tnagnctlo telegraph, the greatest Invention of the age. Is It not a marvelous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to tjmclly locate a tract tiro in r submarine cable nearly three thousand miles long? Our venerable "clerk of the weather" has become so thoroughly familiar with the most wayward elements of nature that ho can accurately predict their movements. He can sit in Washington and foretell what the weather will be in Florida or New York as well as if several hundred miles did not intervene between him and the places named. Ana so in all departments of modern science.
