Koah Grant's son, Noah Grant, also a native of Connecticut, was my father ; and if he did not get killed in battle like his worthy sire, it was not besanse he did not perseveringly take all the chances of such a death, for he fought in the Revolutionary War, from begin ningto end over seven years.' He was a lieu tenant of ' militia at the battle of Lexington. This long period of soldiering spoilt him for all financial business. My mother who .was his second wife was an excellent manager ; and, while she lived, the family were ' always in comfortable circumstances ; but after her death ia Apiil, 1805, wo had to separateand that impressed upon the minds of all of us a lesson which we v never forgot. She left seven childrenthe oldest only twelve. Every ono of them subsequently became wealthy. My father was born rich, and was a man of education ; but he died poor. His children were born poor.but all acquired a comfortable competency , I was born in Westmoreland county, Penn sylvania, Jan. 23, 1794. ' When I was five years of age, I was taken by my father, who emigrated with bis family, to that part of the Northwestern Territory which is now Colnm bianaeoonty, Ohio. When I was ten years of see. we moved to Portage county, in the West em Reserve. , At sixteen, I was regularly ap- J prenticed te ray half-brother, to learn the tanning business, at Maysville, Kentucky , .-I faithfully served out y apprenticeabip ; and,' soon after I became of age, set up business ; for myself at Ravenna, Portage county, Ohio;,.,",, ; Here I suffered a severe and protracted Illness from fever and sgne, which finally com polled me to relinquish ' business . The sav ings of four years were comsumed by the expenses of this sickness. . . In 1820 I settled temporarily at a f mall place called Point Pleasant, situated directly on the Ohio river, tweuty-five miles above Cincinnati ; and, in June, 1820, I was married to Miss ' Hannah 1 Simpson, a nd commenced housekeeping at that placer '1 Here, ea the 27ih day of April, ' 1822, our first child, Ulysses 8. Grant, was born. The house , in which this ,. event , occurred ; is still standing-; '. ' n' 7L-i '. Five ' other children three daughters and two sons were subsequently added to ' our family. , One son and one daughter, both grown and both single, died of . consumption during the late war. , ..--o--;-s ;'"f-v :r ; , (Industry, frugality and perseverance made me fortunate in business and enabled me to ac cumulate a competency for myself and my family. In 1854, at the age of sixty; I measurably retired; that is, ' I withdrew from the direct personal supervision of my business T ' ' My sons, fiimpson ' Grant since deceased and Oi vil I Grant now,of Chicago contin ued the business for twelve years in my name,, and made more than twice as much money as wo had ever made before, f We always had the reputation of making the very ,1 best of leather' we" tanned with, nothing but . oak, and that made it superior. ? -. c a -tx ; e 'About - two years ago,' I had ' made up my mind that I should enjoy more seeing the principal part of my property in the possession of my children than I should ' keeping it in my own. Gen. Grant said he had done nothing toward making it, and he did not want any of it. The Government had provided for him so' wll that I aoquiesced in his view. My son Orvil, who is in business in Chicago, received the larger share ; and my daughters got about twenty-five thousand dollars apiece. I kept e hough for myself. rl.;..;'. ;,.,:'tr! "T ' My early opportunities for ; education were extremely limited ; I never went to school but about five months in my life, though I toon lessons in English grammar for four weexs after I was married. , w I have taken a pretty active interest, gener ally, in the public questions of the day ; though not to ' the neglect of my private affairs. I -wrote the platform which was adopted at the last Whig State Convention that ever assembled at Columbus, and played a part in the first election of Salmon P. Chase as Governor of Ohio. - . v , , . .. , , . I never was what is technically Known as an Abolitionist, but I never held a slave. I made up my mind - when I was a young man, that I would never have slaves. This was the reason "that I left Kentucky," and went to " Ohio. I would 1 not own slaves, and 1 - would .- not livo .where there are slaves and not own them. x. I voted fofGen. Jacxson for President every time be was a candidate that is three times. ,. Mrs. -Grant was the second daughter of Mr. -. John Simpson, of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. She was born and brought up in .that county, about twenty miles from Philadel- ' phia. When in her nineteenth year She removed with her father to Clermont County, ' Ohio. The family were very highly respected ; people of veracity and (integrity ; but not of any particular ambition beyond that of living independent farmers. ;-f fi ' .c- . j -n - Mrs .-Grant's father -was worth some proper ty ; but it was all in land, and he kept it until hediedr,'"' --- It was nearly three years after their removal V to Clermont that we wew married. A few of the neighbors expressed their surprise that one , of Mr. Simpson's . daughters should - marry ' ' young man hardly yet established in business. ! But this1 did me no harm ; and as soon as it ' was seen how I was getting along, I heard nothing' more of it, I suppose there Could hardly be a marriage at which, somebody would not be surprised. . I . was not worth a dollar when I married ; but I did not slay that way long aad aa aooti aa I vas known tar be pros- , . perous . the neighbors . seemed to thins the a- match was exactly the thing just what I had -, thought from the beginning. . , ''".l 'la'T At the time of our marriage, Mrs. Grant was an unpretending country girl, handsome, but not vain. She had previously joined the Meth. odiat church; and I can truthfully say- it has never had a more devoted and consistent mem- , ber. Her steadiness,' firmness, and strength of character," has 'been the stay" of the ' family through life. . She was always careful and most . watchful over her children; bat never austere, - and not opposed 0 their free parUoipaiioB in n,nk nnents. VThe leading passion or Ulyaaea, almost from the time he could go a alone, was for horses. ,s The first time he ever ' hlf yn,L , 1 Ud Bne way from home to Ripley, twelve miles ofT. I went 1 in the moramg andd not got- bacx untU night. I rPwoat Ihj laiaa thrce-yeat.oU colt?, which SI bad W riidan .ader lh aaddU to carry Se f I mail, hot bad never had a collar on. While I b was gone, Ulysses got the colt and- put a collar 1 and the harness on him, and hitched him up to f ' 1 a sled.' H. Then he put a single line on to him Z and drove off, and loaded ap the .sled with , diumi, u , wuiw again, lie Kept at It, m 1

came home at night, he had a pile of brush as

5fc$ras a aabin " - - i,.r.l.. .,.,.. u, ,m r -He used to harness horses when he had 'to collar on, and then turn the half-bushel over and stand on that to throw the harness on. At eight and a half years of age he had become a regular driver, and used to work my team all day, day after day, hauling wood. TImm wnalrl km a man in the ooda.tn load. and another at the house to onload,4 bot Ulys ses would drive the team. ... JO about ten years of age he used to drive a pair of horses alone front Georgetown, where we lived, forty miles, to " Cincinnati, and bring back a load of passengers. , , , When Ulysses was a boy, if a circus or any show came along, in which there was a call for somebody to come forward and ride a pony, he was always the one to present himself, and whatever he undertook to i ride he rode.. This i practice he Kept up until he got to be so large that be was ashamed to ride a pony. Tf Once, when he was a boy,' a show came along m which there was a -.mischievous pony.. trained to go round the nog like lightning, and he was expected to throw ; any boy that attempted to ride him. " j t Will i any boy come forward ; and ride this ? pony 7" shouted the ring-master. IT WTt - . a t . uiysses swppea lorwara, anu mouniea tne . pony. The performance - began. - Round, and round, and round the ring went the pony, faster and faster, maxing the greatest effort to dismount the rider. But Ulysses sat as steady as if he had grown to the pony's back. Presently out came a large mousey and sprang np behind Ulysses. The people set np a great shout of laughter, and on the. pony ran; but it all produced no effect on the rider. The ringmaster made the monxeyjump up on to Ulysses shoulders, standing -with his feet on his shoulders, and with his hands holding on to his hair. At this there was another and a still louder shout, but not a muscle of Ulysses' face moved. , There was not a tremor of his nerves. A few more' rounds and tho ' ring-master gave it np: he had come across a boy that the pony and the monxey both could not dismount. : Ulysses had the habit of I riding our horses to water standing upon their barebacks. He ' began this practice when about - five years old. At eight or nine he would ride them at the top of their speed, he standing upon one foot and balancing himself by the bridle reins. The ground over which he used to mase these performances was a little descending towards the tiver; a near neighbor's boy who undertook to rival him in speed; although without standing up, was unfortunately thrown from his horse and killed., f r w " ? . t r i x t r I f He always broke his own horses.-1 never Knew a horse to balk with him..- He .used to get one colt perfectly broken, and then put an other in by the side of him. He had a most wonderful faculty for breaking horses to pace : it became known in the neighborhood, and peot pie used to apply to him to break their horses to pace: but he had an idea that it was dei grading and would never undertake it. . , . . One day a neighbor came to me and said: ''Ulysses has ;a remarkable faculty to teach a 1 i r i ' !. owns ui pare; i nave a uuo young nurse; now, how can I get Ulysses to teach him to pace?' s Said I: "You mustn't say. a word to him about it: but send him on a mission to some place, and get him while he ia gone to teach tho horse to pace?" 't v. , " ; 'J.;;;;- "V." "T ! Said he: "I will do it." " So he came over a gain and said to Ulysses: "I want to send a letter, in a hurry, thirteen miles, to Decatur, and I will give you two dollars to get on my horse and carry it.".,-,'-; - , M . s..; ; Ulysses was then nine or ten years old. He was fond of making money, and fond of that xind of business, and he answered: 'I will go." J ust as he was starting off the owner of the horse cried out after him: "I want you to teach that horse to pace." The horse, had never paced a step before. But Ulysses - accomplished the tasK. . He returned the horse that night a.- perfect pacer. j The letter was all a sham: Ulysses found out the trick, and nobody after that could ever get bun to breaK ahorse to pace. . .. - '. . When Ulysses was in his twelfth year he was very small for his age. At that time I had taken a contract to build the jail in Brown county. The prison pait was to be of logs hewn a foot square' ; and fourteen' feet long. These had to be hauled about two miles from the woods where "they were cut, to ' the site of the jail. I generally worked small, or medium-sized horses: but I happened to have a very large one, . A neighbor had , another about the same size, and Ulysses was so anxious that If should buy him, . that he said tor me one day: "Father, if you will buy that horse,' I will drive team until all the logs are hauled. I agreed to do it, but without any idea that he could poss sibly holdout to work the team over a ween he was such a little bit of a fellow. ; I even hired another man to work the team, and told him "to go along with Ulysses: , but not to let him know until the boy. was tired ouf, what he was hired for. The man accompanied him for a number of days, when he came to me and said: "There is no use in my going with that boy any longer: he understands the team and can manage it as well as lean, and better too. There's no use in my following him around. s -!" -' ' . " One day, after hauling a load, Ulygses took the team out, and said to me : "The men are not in the woods hewing to-day, and there is no need of my going back this afternoon, as I can keep np with their hewin keep np with their hewincr to-morrow; and there "Nobody there to help load?" said I. did von load this moraine?" "Why, how . 'Ob, Dare and 1 loaded," he answered. Dave was the name of the big horse 1 had bought. "Yon and Dare loadedl - What do yon meant" said I, for I considered it absolutely impossible that a child of his size should hare got such immense logs into the .wagon without help. - "Yes," said he, "Dare and 1 loaded, I took a chain and hitched on lo tho end of the logs, and we managed to get them !n." -. i : Ho then explained how it was done. - A larga angar ' tree had been felled, so that it lay aslant, one end rest- ' ingon the ground, and the other elevated. He had hitched the horse, Dare, to the end of a hewn log, and hauled it up on to this sugar tree, the end projecting over far enough to back the wagon under it. Three t- made a load; and when he bad got three banledup in this way, he backed the hind and of the wagon ap under them, and hitching the powerful horse in front by means of a long chain which extended ever the whole length of the ' wagon-body, he pniled them, one at a ' time, into the wagon. This waa ranch talked of in the neighborhood, as it was considered a great achieve-; ment fer a boy of his sise. He worked the whole eren months and until the job was finished, hauling these logs and other material for the building, with the exception of a single week; .Tbat week 1 sent him to Louisville. It was necessary for me to hare a deposition taken there, to be used in a law suit in which iwas engaged ia tho State of Connecticut, I had . written ; more than once about it to my lawyers, but could not get the business done. "I can do it," said Ulysses. So I sent him, on the errand alone. : Before . he started I gave hint an open letter that he might show the Captain of the boat, or any one else, if he ; ahonld have occasion, stating that he was my son and was going to Louis rule on my business. Going down he happened to meet a , neighbor with whom he was acquainted; so he had no occasion to use the - letter. But when he came on board a boat to return the eaptaia asked him who be was. He told him: bat the captain answered: "1 cannot take' you. You may be "running away." Ulysses then produced my letter, which put everything right; and the captain not only treated him with great kindness, but took so much interest in him as to inrite Mm to go as far as Maysville with him. where he bad relatives living, free of ex1 ; s IThe New York 1 Independent's Washington correspondent says? that when the Clerk of the House finished reading the. original Grant-Johnson- correspondence a member went up to Thaddeus Stevens, who wo bresent" throagb? the ' -whole reading," and asked , him i" "Won't it do now to let Grant into onr uuurcnr A grin flitted, over the old man's Jaco as he remarked "Yes, open ' the" doors :mi let) bimcln!! ic cSolderr man than I thought him to be !" , A Texas paper gives an account of a "rising"'among .ahe negroes in Weod coontr.
