How Gen. Grants Home at Galena Loohss
The repairs Oh General Grants home in this
city Lsays the Galena (Ill.) Gdseitel will be
completed this week, and the house will DO
ready for the reception of the family on Nom
day or Tuesday next. The rooms down stairs
arc being repaired by Mr.. George Young, and
when finished will present II very handsome
appearance. The grained work in the library,
hall and dining.rOom is 10 be vanished. and
the slceping-apartmonts up stairs are to be re-
papered and painted. The elegant Turkish
carpets on the pallor and diningro room havo
been thoroughly cleaned, and look rs new rs
when they were first put down. This week u
part of the furniture is to be upholstered
anew, and the house furnished with such
articles rs are needed from the furniture
establishment of SChcercr, ArmbTuster u Co.
There is at present but meagre show
I'm .saa parlor and other rooms in tho
way of decorations. In tho frst-named
apartment, in the way OF vail pictures, we
saw a photograph of the magnifiueS.. and
costly cake presented TO General Grant by tho
ladies of the Hebrew fair in New York in
1868, also photograph of tho grand stand in
front of the DeSoto House, rs it appeared on
that memorable day in 1865, when upward Of
10000 people assembled in Galona for the pur-
pose Of welcoming home the couquering hero.
Besides these there are two handsome mirrors,
cornCr-brackets, &c. On the marble top CEN
tire table there is basket which is filed with
the cards of callers and visitors from abroad.
In the library the walls are decorated with
four pictures-a very beautiful emblem of tho
ancient Scottish knights, a present; a steel
engraving entitled Morning." a chrome rep
resenting Grant in boyhood, driving horse
which is dragging behind large bundle of
faggots gathered in the woods by the youth
full Ulysses; also chrome representing Grant
rs II captain during the Mexican war, in the
act of heading his men in u charge.

THAT AWFUL COW.

There probably isn't a woman in
North America who isn't afraid of cows
and there is not a COW in North AmeTl-
ca which would harm one hair OF any
WOman'S head if il had the best chance
in the world and no other job on hand.
Wednesday forenoon a stray COW. per
hapS from the country for q taste of baled
hay. found a gate open and entered a
ward on Second street. The woman
came to the front door dressed to go out,
but seeing the COW she uttered scream
and hurried back. There WASH t a thing
in the yard for the COW to damage or
eat and being tired she raised her cud,
Law down and began to chew away as if
she had got home from a long visit to
Europe. The woman next appeared at
a side window and called upon the cow
to git out - \ dogimight have got, ."
but the COW didn't. Then the woman
threw a rag at the COW ana called for
the dog. The dog didn't come and the
rag didn't scare. Then the woman
shook pillow at the COW and peTemp-
torilv ordered her off the premises. but
the bovine half closed her eyes and left
her thoughts run ahead To fly time. As
the COW wouldn't 20, and rs the woman
couldn't go till the COW did. Sterner
measures were reSOrted to. 4 tin pan
was held out of the window and beaten
with spoon. but that COW couldn't be
fooled into believing that Fourth of Ju-
" had come. Then the woman went
into the back yard to throw clubs over
the fence and knock couple.of horns
off. The first one hit the window and
the next banged the blinds on the next
house. and the cows horns stuck much
tighter than ever Cries of git out -
were again resoTted to without effect.
and then the woman watched at the
front door till she saw boy come along
and she opened it and cried out. &C
boy , there's horrible COW in our yard
Prop the gate open and get all the boy:

.GREENINGS. "A youth living on

rolled an apple barrel to the cUrbSJone
filed it with cObblestones. headed il up.
and marked the barrel ''Greenings-
handle carefully" The youth retired
to await further developments. and soon
they came. \ SawduSt wagon came
along. and the driver jumped down and
took Il long look at the barrel. He pro-
badly reasoned that it had been deliver
ed by a grocer. and he doubtless wonder
ed why it had not been rolled into the
llar. Dusk was coming on. and the
man drove off. IU Il quarter OF an hour
he returned '-GreeningS" were there
vet. and he drove around the square,
took the tail board out of his wagon and
at length drove up close to the barrel.
No one was iii sight and he made a dash
for the prize. He probably expected a
rather heavy lift. but when he felt the
weight of those cobblestOncS his surprise
must have been great. He gave one
awful lurch. lifted the barrel about an
inch. and as his fingers Taked over the
hoops he grOaned in agony and lcaped
into his wagon as ii a dog had been
reaching for his coat tail. At various
times during the night vehicles were
heard halting and driving away. but
when day broke the greetings were
still there. though only two hoops were
left on the barrel.
