Disposition Of Grant. Property.

80
Gen. Grants city residence and his cot
tage at Long Branch have both been Of
fered for sale, though there seems to be no
disposition to sacrifice them, the prices de-
manded being up to their present value.
The understanding. is that the general,
knowing that hall his present income-that
arising from his place on the army retired
list-wiH stop at his death, leaving as a GER
tainty to his widow the product of the en-
dowment fund only, is anxious to unload
the real estate by converting it into a safe,
yielding investment. In this matter his
counselor is ex-senator Chaffee, whose adj
vice as to the Ward business, had it been
promptly followed, would have saved most
OF the money lost therein. The plan ofMrs.
Grant is to retire intosome quiethome after
the death Of her husband, while the other
members OF the family will scatter. The re-
lance otGrant on the profits ofhis bookfor
his widows benefit has frequently bcea pub
lished.

Mexican Widows and Orphans.

Mexican Letter to Boston Globe.
If a Mexican lady is widowed and
has no means, a family counsel is
held. Her male relatives or those of
her deceased husband charge them
selves with the education OF her sons,
and provision is made for her and her
daughters. Even if the widow and
young ladies should be accomplished,
they IRE not expected to work for
their bread. On the contrary, if q
widowed mother is wealthy, she can
not be independent. Custom exacts
that the care OF her property and the
education of her sons shall be delegat-
ed to male relatives, and, unless she
is really an old M with adult
children, she must either reside with
her kindred or keep some staid, ma
tronly person in her household by
way of protection against criticism or
scandal. Mexican gentleman are SO
thoroughly imbued with the idea OF
womanfy helplessness that they do
not seem to regard the charge of a be-
reaved family as an unnatural or I'M
Just burden, but accept all the duties
1t involves as really sacred obliga-
tions.

Eneo. Of Emperor wnliam.. Death.

London Cable: The death of Emperor
William promises to be the next great SEN
satlon In Europe. Its immediate political
effect will be to bind Germany and England
together in a very close union. The crown
princess OF England will be the empress OF
Germany, and the coming known
as an affectionate friend OF the prince oil
Wales and OF the queen. Nothing more on.
Fortune Tor the new Tory government OF
England could possibly occur. 1t is ru-
mored that all this was counted uponint the
very highest circles OF the two realms before
Lord Salisbury finally consented to take
office, and that it very largely influenced
bis decision. There are hints OF q second
treaty OF Windsor that had really more to
40 with the chang. in the administration
than the vague and shadowy promises made
by Mr.. Gladstone. According to this story.
the Crown Princess Victoria assured her
mother that the death OF the emperor was
only n question of a few years; that
upon the accession of Frederick William
to the imperial throne of Germany, the in
fiuence OF Prince Bismarck would cease to
be a predominant and disturbing element
in European politics, and hat if England
would heartily support the colonizingente
prlses oil Germany, which are Frederick
Williams pet fads, there would be no oppo-
sition to an Anglo-German alliance, as
against Russia in Afghanistan, France in
Egypt, and the foes or rivals OF England
everywhere. All this being represented
to Lord Salisbury, opened up to him
a prospect OF being able to %straighten out
the foreign relations which had been
lett in a seemingly hopeless tangle by Glad
stone, to safeguard the British empire in
India, to retain control of Egypt, and gen.
orally to restore the imperial prestige OF
England through the world. 1t was this
line OF argument, it is said, which not only
decided Lord Salisbury to accept the office
OF premier, but caused him to adopt the
unprecedented course OF combining with it
the office OF secretary OF state for foreign
affairs, SO as to keep the delicate negotia-
tions OF the next few weeks or months care
July within his own control.
