THE EVENING STAR SpncJira or Geseral Grant ? We doubt tf any body ever heard or ever will he.ar Gen'l Grant "make a speech.'" lie is not one of that kind. Hut his deeds "peek for liim. For some ? lays past he has been in St. Louis on a visit to a tick child, and ?hon?h frequently hard pressed oy the people for a speech, h" invariably b;>TF3 his acknowledgments and apologizes for his reticence. On Friday evening the General was honored by the enthusiastic popn!a?e v.-irh a serenade. His appearance on the balcony was greeted with the most flattering cht^ers. In re sponse to calls for a speech, he took off his hat and amid profound silence said "Gentlemen?I thank you for this honor. I cannot make a speech. It 13 something I hive never dene, and never intend to do, and I beg you will excuse lfce.'' Loud cheers followrd this brief address, at the conclusion ol which the Gen> ral replaced his hat, took a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and stood on the balcony in the presence of the crowd, pnffing his Havana and watching the rockets as they ascended and burst in the air. "Speech! spteeh!" vociferated the multi tod*, and several gentlemen near him urged th?* (feneral to ssy something to satisfy the people, but he declined. Judite Lord, of the Land Court, appeared very enthusiastic, and, placing his hand on Gen. Grant s shoulder, said: "Tell them that you can fight for them, but can't talk to them?do tell them that!" ?* I must get some one else to say that for me," re plied the General: butthe multitude continu ing to cry out " speech! speech!" he leaned over the railing, blew a wreath of smoke from his lips, and said: "Gentlemen?Making speeches is not my business. I never did it iu ray life, and never will. 1 thank yon, however, for your attend hnce here." An d with that the General retired. Subsequently a grand dinner was given to the General, and another effort made 10 draw ham out. "While the President proposed a 1 oast to his health, U. S. sat by his side serenely s-mobing. When he rose and stood upon the chair, a perfect hurricane of- applause rose irom every part of the hall and prevented him from speaking till it had subsided. C|uietbeing restored, General It rant merely remarked thar be could not find words adequate to retnrn thanks for the compliment ottered him, and would not make the attempt. .
