Oddly enough, this poet turas up in smoky Piits- burg. It 1s no slight testimony to the inspi- ration of General Grant’s deeds that they hays developed poe.ical genius im that unlikely quarter. ‘This noet of Pittsburgh sends a bulky epistle to General Grant in a yellow eavelope ot ample si.e;and the superscription is poetry, shoes thee Gaia want to go to the ity.
