GRANT VISITS HIS MOTHER.
Three Outlet Hours on Jersey City
Heights Return to Philadelphia.

New York Tribune Dec. 25.l
Ex-President Grant made a short
visit yesterday, to his aged mother,
who is living with her son-in-law,
Abel r. Corbin, of No. 532 Pavonia
avenue, jersey City Heights. As it
was feared hal any excitement would
be injurious to the venerable lady, the
visit was made as quietly as possible.
The x-President, accompanied by
Colonel Frederick Grant and wife.
arrived at the Jersey City station of
the Pennsylvania railroad in a. special
car at lO:30a.m yesterday. Few per-
sons were in the station, and the ar
rival Of the party was unknown. A
coach was in waiting, and the ex-
President and the other members Of
his family, were driven to the house of
Mr.. Corbin at once.
The residence of Mr.. Corbin is a
two-story frame structure at the rear
of the Hudson county courthouse.
General Grants mother went there to
reside with her daughter and son-in-
law about two years ago, when they
moved from Elizabeth to Jersey City.
Her life has been a very quiet one.
and comparatively few of the residents
of Jersey City have known that she
was living there. Mr.. Corbin greeted
his distinguished brother-in-law and
the rest of the party when they were
driven to the door.
No person excepting members of the
family were presenttO receive General
Grant, and although a number of
prominent citizens called later, they
were not admitted to his presence.
This was in accordance with his re-
quest that he might be allowed to have
a quiet visit with his mother, entirely
undisturbed by anyone else. General
Grant said that this was his sole OBJ
ject in going to Jersey City, and he
regarded the visit a duty as well as a
pleasure. 1t was "the first real bit of
peace he had had since he left the
City Of Toxic at San Francisco. he
said, and, while hearty welcomes were
pleasant, he enjoyed the respite.
After remaining with his mother
about three hours, the hack drove
back to the depot with General Grant
and the rest Of the party. They took
a special car for Philadelphia, where
they will spend Christmas with George
w. Childs.
