“Some Gentlemen.”—It is related of General Grant, during one of his military campaigns, that while he was seated in his headquarters with his aides around him in council, a young officer came in with a good story to tell. He began by looking around and making the inquiry, “Are there any ladies here?” General Grant’s prompt and stern reply was, “No, sir, there are no ladies here; but there are some gentlemen.” The young officer did not tell his story.
