that the rats left for dead on the ground

got away into their holes, and become

great problem was not how TO kin the
rats, but how so annihilate them so
cffectually that the whole population
might certainly know that the
temperance OF even one OF
them was altogether out of the
question This was problem, and II was
solved practically and triumphantly In the
following manner: All the inhabitants of

gOINo TO THE MOUNrAJNs,

NEW YORK, April 25.--Arrange-
ments have been completed for the re.
moval of Gen. Grant and his entire
family to Mt, McGregor some time dur
ing the latter part of June. The use OF
the cottage Of James w. Drexel was
rendered to Gen. Grant this morning
and was accepted by Col Grant In be-
half of his father. Col. Grant said
to the gentlemen who called
to complete the arrangements for the
generals trip that il his father con-
tinued to improve for one month
longer az rapidly as he had during the
past few weeks, he would be stronger
than he was year ago.
1t Is expected that DR.. Douglas will
remain with the general during
his stay In the mountains.
Gen. Grants physicians sometime ago
decided that a change to dryer atmos.
phere would be more beneficial: that IL
would be unwise for the patient to
spend the warm months at the sea-
shore. Mr.. Drexel has given direc.
tions that his cottage shall
be put in order at once for the gem
erals family, and will send quantity
Of bric.a-brac and pictures from
his residence to make the
summer home OF the suf-
f,ring general as pleasant IA possible
The colonel says he believes his faith
er's changed condition Ia due in great
measure to the many kind and gener-
GUS manifestations Of public interest
and regard.
