DRANK HIS HEALTH IN WATER.
At the banquet given by the Chamber of Commerce at Chattanooga, on the Fourth of July, at which Gen. Fred Grant was present, when Gen. Warner lifted a glass of wine and proposed a toast to the " hero of Appomatlox," and glasses were drained, the son of the "hero" merely touched his lips to a glass of soda water. Upon this, a distinguished Confederate general arose, and, holding a glass of water in his hand, said: "Gentlemen, I desire to drink with you in honour of one who has been named as Chaplain-in-Chief of j one of the greatest armies that was ever miw
tered—whose triumph is without parallel. HiL is present with us to-day, and I (propose w«l drink, standing, to his health in this pure water."
