The suggestion that the house ia which
General, then Lieutenant, Grant lived when
in this city should be preserved is u good
one. Great value is attached TO places as
sociated with all of Washington's move
ments and residences. The same is true of
Napoleon and other heroes. Grants birth
place, if it is possible 10 preserve it, will
soIse day be of extraordinary interest as
will every spot where he lived or stayed
even for short time. His house in De-
troit is bereft of some antiquarian value by
its occupation of different site from that
it had when he lived in it. Bot notwith-
standing this il will attract great attention
in years to come, and well deserves care
and preservation. As an interesting feature
of the city itself which would attract vis-
itors and travellers, it might we'll be worth
the while of the city to take care Of it. IL
is hard to overestmate its importance
twenty-five and fifty years hence when
Grant is an heroic memory. Free Press.
