hants, by Presidents and Governor-Generals, by Tycoons and Sultans and Khedives, and school children and work-people and statesmen, like Grant. For him the Pyramids had a special door, and Memphis and Thebes were thrown open as to a successor of the Pharaohs; for him the Pope dispensed with the usual etiquette and welcomed a Protestant and a democrat who did not kneel. With him the King of Siam contracted a personal friendship and kept up a correspondence afterward; while the Emperors of Russia and Germany and Japan, the Viceroy of India and the Magnates of Cuba and Canada and Mexico talked politics to him and religion from their own several standpoints. The greatest potentates of earth laid aside their rules and showed him a courtesy which was due of course in part to the nation he represented; but who ever so represented a nation before? not only the Government, but the plainest people in it from whom he sprang, whom he claimed as his fellows, whom he believed in as his politi

Constantine de Catacazy was appointed Minister from Russia to the United States. I was a Secretary of Legatio to the American Government. He first told me that Russia was about sending a new envoy to the United States,the arrival of the son of the Czar. The conduct of Russia during our civil war had not been forgotten, and thalthough rather than offend the majesty of friendly Russia, the President had tolerated the presence of Catacad on; and this was the greeting from the majesty of Russia to the representative of the United States. Year was anxious that the ex-President should not visit Russia, lest unpleasant circumstances might occur. On t me: I did advise General Grant against going to Russia, because on my presentation to the Emperor, he usedre there. He informed me that he intended to visit Russia, and I then advised him against doing so, fearing tr with me, and always said that he was not going to Russia for the purpose of visiting the Emperor. If his Ma

ton and Fortress Monroe. At this time the Government had decided on a course toward Cuba directly the opposite of that which I had advised, and one that seemed to me most disadvantageous to American interests, while it grossly neglected American citizens, who were frequently fined and imprisoned without cause. I had also reported culpable frauds at the Consulate which the State Department failed to investigate; and I became anxious to give up the post. A vacancy occurred in the mission to Russia, and I asked General Grant whether it would be advisable for him to solicit the appointment for me. This letter is his reply. The 3d of June was the date fixed for the assembling of the Presidential Nominating Convention at Chicago. United Bank building, Wall St. & Broadway, New York, March 3, 1884. My dear General Badeau,—Your dispatch was duly received and an answer returned saying letter by mail.—Under the circumstances it is impossible for me to comply with your request. In

n United States Minister to China, but resigned that post in order to accept a roving but important commission, that of Chinese Minister both to this country and to the prominent European Governments. It was his object to establish more intimate relations between the Chinese and the Western powers, and had he lived he might have initiated a policy of importance to the world and of especial advantage to this country. He visited first the United States, and then England, France, Prussia, and Russia, but at St. Petersburg his career was suddenly cut short at its very meridian. His death was a loss to modern civilization. While in this country in 1868, he established relations with General Grant that were unusually cordial. Upon the death of Rawlins he was very desirous to enter Grant's Cabinet, and, as I was then returning to America, he commissioned me to say to the President that he would willingly resign his diplomatic position for the sake of a place in the United States Gover
