GRANT SElLs ms Horsn.-Thc following
Interesting facts are related by the Ohio

Washington, 10 which Office Grant had AZ

before Robbins had got possession of the post
mastership. parties in New Yerk bad raised
sixty-ive thousand dollars 10 buy house Tor
General Sherman, and offered Grant that
amount for bis Washington mansion. Here
was chance to get an advance of twenty
five thousand dollars on his sale 20 B1wen--
equal 70 whole years salary. The tempta-
uon WIS too strong To I've resisted. So Grant
agreed that the New YLrkers should have the
house. But then Bowen was in the way.
The latter claimed that the house was legally
his. and that if the sale to the New Y"rke-s
was perfected, hewas entitled to the twenty-five
thousand dollars. This wasa bad dilemma for
Grant Int he proved equal TO the emer-

had made OF Robbins as Postmaster. Then
it was agreed rha, Bowen should relinquish
all claim to the house. and accept the post
