CHANTS NEW HOME.
The Riches of the World Identifying the
New York Grant Mansion.


There is quite flutter in society, owing
to the announcement that General and
Mrs, Grant are to give an elegant reception
as soon as their new house is in perfect
order and every day workmen and artists
are bringing nearer the desired end | un-

scented to the general on his foreign tour fur.
nishing them throughout, as well as sup
plying the rest of the house with objects OF
art of every conceivable sort. No two pieces
of furniture in the pnrlors and reception
room will be alike. Curiously caned chairs,
velvet and embroidered divans and ebony
and ivory fanteuil, upholstered with
Gobclin tapestry and hand-wrought bro
cades will take the place Of the modern
set.
The Oriental hangings and Persian car
pets were made for the lex p esident as gifts,
and Mrs Grant will incur the everlasting
envy Of women by using the finest and most
eXquistely woven Indian cashmeres for the
drapery of her own boudoir The tables
and stands are buhl and mosaic work; the
mirrors hang in curOuSly carved frames cut
by the jack-Rnives of the skilliul Sweden
caryers. Pictures of every variety, and all
merit in different degrees have frames in
themselves works ofart, while statuary and
articles of vlrtu ornament the rooms Law

In General Grants private dressing-room
stands Il miniature house of five stories and
nearly three feet in height. 1t is of solid
silver, curiously beaten and raised in queer
flowers and odd.birds. GIN opening the va
rious doors and windows that lead ont on
comical little balconies can be
discovered cases of fr.tted silver,
containing bottles and TASKS of clryei
ivory filled with different and delicious per-
fumes. This was presented to the owner in
China. A pleasant reminder of India is n

feet in length, the polished ivory set off by
elaborate gold mountings
The wall ON one side of the family sitting
room is nearly covered by remarkable
Japanese picture-a hunting scene. The
ground is of creamy satin and the subject is
worked out in varied silk embroidery, the
figures and foliage standing out as in real
life and the colors exquisite and natural.
How exceptional n memory General
Grant has is shown in the fact that he
knows at u glance where each of these
thousands of gifts came from, the name of
the city, the donor and the circumstances
of the presentation. lie does not exhibit
the least complacency in their exhibition,

TUE Wisconsintes are much exercised
over the prohibition" movement. There
are three parties in Wisconsin interested in
weakening the republican party. They are
making the campaign on this issue, and
can only be successful through the mtli'lcr-
cncc OF republicans, But the republicans
have as much at stake as in previous cam
paigns. In addition to the state ticket
they must elect a majority of the lcgisla-
tUre that is to redistrict the state, OF the

practical effect of the prohibition move,
mant in Wisconsin is to endanger the sue.

victory possible to the democrats.

"A very remarkable number Of double
funerals have taken place from the Church at
Mount Pleasant, this county, during the six
months past. Some time in June last, Mrs.
John Van Syckel and Miss Catharine Rocka-
fellow were buried on the same day, the
funeral services Of each being held in the
Church at that place, and the remains of each
being inferred in the graveyard connected
with the Church grounds. In the middle of
November, just past, Misses Betty and Abbey
Robbins, sisters, who died within few hours
of each other, were buried on the same day
in one grave in the same yard. On the 9th
of November, Peter Rockafellow, brother of
Catharine Rockafellow, and Samuel Keephart,
"a young man whose death we reported in our
issue of last week as having occurred from
railroad accident at Bethlehem, Pa,) were
buried there, the funeral services of each be-
ing held in the Church at the same hour. OF
the five first named the youngest was 81 years
of age Double funerals in a small country
town like Mount Pleasant are rare indeed.
