The PRESIDENTS INvEsTMENTs.-Th
President has just bought a large lot in the
northwestern part of the city for his future
residence. He pays $4,000 for $4,000 feet,
and the house Is TO cost, with the lot, near
100000. II is understood that the Pres-
dent, when he is released from his official
duties, will divide his time between his
three residences-on the st. Louis farm, at
the sea shore at Long Branch and in WASH
ington. He will retire FROM public life in
very comfortable circumstances. He has
been, since he entered the army in 1861,
one of the luckiest of men, and in this re-
spect his history Is curious and Interesting.
Up 10 a certain date his life was unlucky-
uniformly so. Everything that he under
took proved a failure, till he was actually
poor man when he offered his services TO
the country in the war of the rebellion.
Since then his course has been almost in
variably successful as a soldier, politi-
clan, and as a man of business. / am told
by those who know the facts and are COM
petent to judge of such matters, that Gen.
Grants investments have all been made
with great wisdom, with the sole exception
of the small venture in the "Scneca Stone
company" and even that concern is look
ing up of late. His investments here, at
Long Branch, and especially near st. Lou
is, have turned out well. st. Louis people
say that his farm in that vicinity will alone
make him large fortune, so rapid is the
increase in its value.

my whole body full Of ScrofulA they deemed it
advisable to cut the sore. which was pAiLfni h~yond
description and there was quart OF matter run from
this OF sore. The physicians all gave up to die,

In conclusion will add, when was enduring such
great suffering from that dreadful disease, Scrufula
prayed to the Lord above to take out Of this world
but vEGErISE has restored TO me the blessings Of
health, desire than 10 live, that may be
Of some service to my fellow man. and know Of no
