SWAFPING HORSES. An Animal Theat Was Too Hard For General Grant to Margage.
General Horace Porter, in his ‘‘Cam- paigning With Grant’? in The Century, tells the fallowing anecdote of his chief durirg a ride frem Petersburg to City Po’ at:
Owing to the heat and dust the long ride wae excecdingly uncomfortable. My best horse had been hurt, and I was mount- ed on a bay cob that had a trot which ne- cessitated no end of ‘‘saddje pounding’”’ on the part of the rider, and if distances ar to be measured by the arsount of fatigue endured, this exertion added many miles tothe trip. The general was riding his vlack pony Jeff Davis. "his smooth little pacer shy fed along ata gait which was too fast for a walk and not fast enough for @ gallop, so that all the other horses had to move at a brisk trot to keep up with him.
When we were about five miles from headquarters, the genera) said to me ina joking way: ‘‘ You don’t look comfortable on that horse. Now I feel about as fresh as when we started out.'’
I replied, ‘‘1t makes all the difference in the world, general, what kind of horse one rides.’’
He remarked, ‘‘Oh, all horses are pretty much alike as far as the comfort of theiz gait is eoncerned.’’
‘*In the present instance,’’ I answered, “T don’t think you would like to swap with me, general.”’
Likely to Be Trouble. ’ Maw, ain’t aman and his boy two persons?’’
‘‘Certainly, Willie. Why do you ask such a question as that?’’
‘““’OGause I bet Bob Hicks my knife ag’in his bag of marbles that it’s right to say, ‘‘ ‘Dombey and Son’ are a very interesting book, and if he doesn’t pay

comfortable beast, while I put myself astride of Jeff. The general had always been a famougr rider, even when a cadet at Weet Point. When he rode or drove a strange horse, not many minutes elapsed before he and the anima) seemed to under- stand ewch other perfectly. In my experi- ence I] have never seen a better rider, or one who had a more steady seat, no mat- ter what = “t of horse he rode. But on this occasion if soon beeame evident that Iris body and that of the animal were not al- ways in touch, and he saw that all the party were considerably amused at the jogging to which he was subjevted. In the meantime Jeff Davis was pacing along with a smoothness which made me feel as if 1 were seated in a rocking chafr. When we reached headquarters, the genera} dis- mounted {in a maaner which showed that he was pretty stiff from the ride. Ags he touched the ground he turned and said with a quizzical look, ‘‘Well, I must ac- knowledge that animal is pretty rough.”’
