General Grant’s Curt Reply

The best anecdote of General Grant which we have seen is the one related by General Clinton B. Fisk, who says: "I was sitting with the general and a number of others, when an officer high in rank rushed in, shouting, 'O boys, I've such a good story to tell you! There are no ladies present, I believe!' 'No, but there are gentlemen present,' was the curt reply of Grant." The story was not told.—Sel.
