Grant by Nellie Bly, printed in the N. Y. World, Oct. 28th, will show who Nellie Bly is:“I was somewhat nervous about my visit to Mrs. Grant. I only knew of her as the wife of the famous General; the successful hostess for eight years in the White House; the woman who had, in making a tour of the world, been received as a queen in every civilized land. Would anyone won* der, then, at my apprehension, when women of so much meaner light so often try to parry all attempts at approach? But I was wrong.“My son tells me,” Mis. Grant said, with a pleasant laugh, after greetings had been exchanged and she had drawn me by the hand to a chair and seated herself on a lounge most cordially near, “that Nellie Bly is a little scamp”—“Oh, no, no,” I broke in, but holding her finger up playfully, she continued:“That, not being content with exposing the Blackwell’s Island Insane Asylum—yes, and benefltting it won-drously—andexposing Phelps the great Albany lobbyist, she needs must go to Central Park and allow herself to be ‘mashed,’ and then tell all about it in The World, so that now none of the men dare wink at a girl while out driving, lest she be Nellie Bly.”“Why, that’s a shame,” I replied, and we both laughed, I fear not altogether in pity of the men.”Nellie Bly’s first article will appear in the January issue of Godey’s.
