~ zaaWAsn1NGToN, March 90, 1869.
About the LIST Of February General
Grant put the property In the hands Of q
well-known real estate firm for the purpose
of sale. On the 9th Of February it was
sold to Sayles ]. Bowen and memorandum
OF agreement made, in which it was stipu-
lated that $40, 900 was the price to be paid
for the property, $1,000 down on the
signing Of the agreement, $4,000 cash
upon tho delivery Of the deed and pos
session OF the premises, and thirty thou
sand dollars in ten years thereafter, with
interest at six per cent, payable semi-an-
nually. The thirty thousand dollars were
to be covered by promissory note secured
by deed Of trust on the property. It was
also agreed that Bowen should insure to the
amount Of fifteen thousand dollars, and that
he should have possession On or before the
10th of March. This memorandum of
agreement has attached to 1t receipt for
one thousand dollars, which receipt is
signed by Kilbourn g. Latta, General
Grants agents, and also note written and
signed by General Grant himself in rela-
ton to the furnaces, gas fixtures, etc. It is
understood that the General had the deed
prepared and everything arranged for max
ing the transfer, when he, met very I'M
expected and insurmountable obstacle in
the refusal of Mrs. Grant to give her consent
to the transfer. She probably thought the
terms unsatisfactory, and positively refused
to sign the deed. Meantime the Sherman
enthusiasts came along and made overtures
for the purchase of the property for Sher
man, and President Grant, ignoring the
agreement with Bowen, sells the house for
nearly double the price of the original con-
tract. Bowen is furious, and demands to
know why he has been treated 90, and holds
the written agreement above mentioned as
rod over President Grants head in very
threatening way. There need be. no sur
prise if o suit fer twenty thousand dollars
damages is entered on the docket ere long,
in which President Grant will be defendant
and sayles ]. Bowen prosecutor. An effort
has been made to have Bowen make quit
claim by the repayment of the one thousand
dollars, but he demands ten thousand dol
lars advance on the price paid, which he
alleges he was offered for the property.
This, Of course, our worthy President does
not want to pay, and the suit is imminent.

A Warning to Americans About 10
Visit Rome.

DR.. J. g. Holland. writing about
Rome. says:
1t is 20 light thing for a man to
visit Southern Italy at any time, and
it is, under any circumstances, a
serious thing for him to take his
family with him Naples and Rome
are not Saratoga or the White Noun
tains. The influence of the atmos-
phere, whether of malaria, or mois-
ture, or alterations of sun and shad-
ow, induce a fever that every summer
lays numbers of strangers in the grave,
or prostrates them through long
months of sickness. 1t makes ones
heart bleed to think Of the large num-
Der of American families that come
out of Italy every spring, leaving one
of their number behind them, or
bearing it embalmed on its way to the
forsaken home beyond the sea. In
the winter the sum is hot and the
shadows are cold.
The galleries In which a great deal
of time is spent are cold. The change
from day tc mig ht is a great change !;
and at the time of that change hun
dreds of Americans are coming home,
wcaried with their days excursions,
and nnerless-Nithout the power to
resist the chill that comes upon
them the moment that the sun passes
from sight. Then there are the ex-
posures that come of mineliug In So
ciety, the receptions, the heated as
semblies, the late balls, the theaters
and operas. is it to be wondered at
that Naples fever and Roman fever
seize upon so many2 There are some
rules which 1t would be we'll for all
people visiting Italy to adopt. The
first is never. to accept a room In
hotel or boarding house that is with
out the sun; second, never to be out
of doors when the sun sets; third,
make no attempt to economic In the
matter Of fuel, but pile on the wood
whateverlthe expense may be; fourth,
stay in the house nights; and fifth,
never 60 to a gallery without thick
shoes and an extra shawl. These
rules, thoroughly followed, will give
YOU your best chance of getting out of
Italy in safety. / assure you that /
do not eXaggerate the dangers OF a
winters residence In Naples and
Rome. And now, if it is hard for
healthy man to get through such
residence unscathed, how do you sup
pose the invalids fare? The consump-
lives die, pretty nearly all of them;
and few, indeed are those who are
benefited. 1t is true, too, that those
who have gone further-who have
visited Egypt or Palestine have been
sick on the passage nearly every one
of them. I write this because / sup
pose the general public is as ignorant
upon the subject as ! was before Wis
iting Italy. It is serious thing to
visit Southern Italy and the "East,"
and no man should lightly undertake
such visit, or fail to guard himself
and the precious members of his fam
lily from the influences of the climate,
by the most jealous care, by day and
BY night.
