A Phenomenal Family.

"Please, mann, give me a penny, "
said one of the numerous infantile beg
CARS who hound the streets between the
avenue and X and Twelfth and Fifteenth
Streets to a, lady yesterday afternoon.
The appeal was not an unusual one, and
although the applicant was very small
and not uncommonly dirty the lady APP
pealed to was passing her by without
notice. She was not to be discouraged
or put off by such treatment, however
She persisted in her plea. please give
me penny. My mother hasn't had a
mouthful to eat for three days, and she's
got sixty-eight children"
The last part of this statement was
sufficiently striking to demand attention,
and the lady stopped.
"What did you say, child?" she asked
in some surprise.
The appeal was repeated through two
handsful of dirty fingers, winding up as
before with, ''She's got sixty-eight chill
dren."
''You must mean six or eight, / guess,
don't you," said the lady.

A National Monument.

CLEVELAND, o., July 27.-EX-President
Hayes has addressed the following letter
from Fremont, o., to Gen. S. S. Burdette,
ccmmander-in-chief of the G.. A. r.:
Your letter, addressed to me through
public press on the subject of a national
monument to Gen. Grant, is before me. I
am confident that there is a sentiment in
the country which will lead to a united
effort by all descriptions of peo-
pie, citizens and soldiers alike.
for the erection of national
monument to Gen. Grant. To this end
action should be promptly taken while the
feeling is fresh and strong. Posts of the
u. A. X. are organized in all parts of the
country and can at once enter upon the
work of raising funds. 1t has been
suggested that each post appoint, at the
next meeting, committee who will under
take to collect from soldiers and citizens
an amount at least equal to 81 for each
member OF the post, and more if practicable
This, with what can be raised i'm
New York, will be ample to build monu-
ment worthy of the country, worthy of Gen.
Grant and worthy of the cause of which he
was the great leader. In regard to your
proposition that the Grand Army
OF the Republic erect statue
for the capitol at Washington,
that will also be altogether fitting and
proper. Let us not, however, withhold
from great national monument at New
York, and for which G. A r. posts can so
easily and effectually give. Posts of
the G. a. Il. in Fremont have
already raised more than the sum indicated
and placed it on deposit IN bank, to be
transmitted to the proper committee in
New York. With promptness and unity of
action national monument can be built by
the people without resort to the govern
ment"

Views of Personal Friends.

PHILADELPHIA, July 27.-The uprising
all over the country, which has been
caused by the selection of Central park as
the resting place of Gen. Grant, finds con-
siderable vent I'm this city, where reside
the dead hero's most intimate friends.
Mr.. George w. Childs. who is constantly in
receipt of letters and telegrams from public
and private citizens who recognize the i'm
propriety of the course proposed and the
fitness of some national site aS place of
sepulture. though for obvious reasons no
appeal can be made TO the family. Mr..
Childs and the other friends of the expires
ident in Philadelphia are decided in their
convictions that the remains belong 10 the
nation and should repose in the national
burying grounds at Washington or West
Point. As to Central park, there is but one
opinion, that OF all places it is the most
Inappropriate. knowing Gen. Grants
own views on this subject" said Mr.. ChildS
this morning. ''for he mad talked with me
about it long before he was taken sick, 1
feel that he ought to he buried on national
ground. This would not interfere with
New York and other cities erecting mOnu-
ments to his memory. If Gen. Grant were
inferred at West Point it would not be in
violation of his wish that he should be
placed where Mrs. Grant could be beside
him, for there are women already buried
there. Gen. Grant belonged 10 the nation.
and his remains should properly be among
those who have dedicated their lives to the
national veal" Mr.. Chlds said further
that Gen. Grant never regarded New York
as his home until latterly. when he went
there to live. Philadelphia was more his
home than any other city in the Union.
His warnest friends lived here. and he al
ways spent his leisure time in this city.
FairmOnt park had as just claim on his re-
mains as Central park.

Anxiety For Mrs. Grant.

Special 10 the Globe.
Mt. MCGREGoR, y. Y, July 27.-Mrs.
Grant is calmer to-day, but the anxiety for
her is in no way allayed. She has had no
natural sleep in seventeen days. Mrs. Sar-
toris has so far recovered as TO come upon
the veranda. Col. Fred Grant telegraphs
from New York that despite the cry of the
country the general will be buried in Central
park. New York. Protests against this dis
position of the remains are flowing in here
from all quarters, but there is no reason to
believe they will avail. Gen. Grant will
probably lie in state in New York at the
Seventh regiment armory. There IS, indeed,
no other place. except, perhaps, Madison
square garden. and it is too burdened with
unfit associations. 1t is said that the cot
tage where Grant died will pass into the
hands of the government, and Harrison,
Grants servant, will be its custodian. 1t
is also said that new hotels will be built
here. and already exchanges Of property
are making at vastly increased prices.

expect to see a Democrat elected without
working earnestly and steadily. 1t will

derful recuperation powers. He has selected

NEW YORK, July 27.-The Post this
evening, in speaking of the decision TO bury
Gen. Grant in Central park, says: Although
his son, Col. Grant, has expressed desire
for his rnterment in the Central park. 1T the
head of the wall, we feel sure that further
consideration in calmer moments would
satisfy him as well as the other members of
the family that place of popular amuse-
ment like the park, and particularly that
portion of the park i'm which the band plays
and lovers of amusement most do eOngre-
gate, is hardly suitable for the tomb of
national hero. The boys should not play
marbles or trundle their hoops. or brass
bands once a week play Champagne
Charley or 'Mulligan Guards over the
ashes of our illuStriOus dead. The fact that
the Soldiers home is on the border line be-
tween the North and the South gives it
peculiar fitness as place Of interment The
Soldiers home is national in character. 1t
Is near 10 the scenes of the dead her0'S
greatest tTiumphs, both military and civil.
1t Is in sight OF Arlington, that great biv
ouac of the dead. where so many thousands
OF his comrades lie. Ii is mementO of the
great war in which he took part, and most of
all, overlooks the two great sections of our
common country that claim an equal right
TO render homage at his tomb. The claims
of the nation are superior to those of New
York, and it cannot be supposed that any
wish of the dead chieftain would be opposed
TO the desire of the whole nation to have a
share in the testimonial, the perpetual teS-
timOnial TO his greatness II it should,
however, be finally decided that the city of
New York is TO give Gen. Grants remains
their resting place. then by al means let it
be in the most picturesque in the municipal
limits. At the northern extremity of River
side drive, on the spot formerly known as
Claremont, which has for ninety years been
in measure eonSecrated by the grave and
memorial stone of q little child, there is no
finer site in the world for monument. 1t
would be seen for many miles up and down
the Hudson river. 1t commands one of the
finest and most inspiring prospects in exist
ence. 1t has no associations now that are
not touching or elevating. but, as we have
said, the claims of the nation are superior
TO those of New York and ought TO be re-
spected."

The Funeral Train.

Mt. MCGREGOR, July 27.-Manager ID.
II. Fonda of the Mountain railroad to-day
determined upon the arrangement OF the
train that will convey the remains and fam
ily of Gen. Grant from here 10 Saratoga.
The body will be placed upon what is
known as an observance" That is a car
81 feet long. with standard posts at the cor
ners and sides which support roof over all.
The car is inclOSed on all sides and to n
height of three feet from the floor. with
seats running lengthwiSe of the ear on each
side. These seats will be removed, the
rear of the car will be entirely open, and
every part of the car will be draped in
mourning. The remains will be placed in
the funeral car from the rear and will rest
upon heavy pedeStals in the middle of the
car. and upon this car there viii be twenty
six men attending the remains. Thirteen
OF them will comprise the guard of honor
from u. :. Grant post. and the other thir
teen will be selected from the regulars who
are expected here from Fort Porter by
order of Gen. Hancock. The car bearing
the remains will be attached directly to the
engine and behind the remains will follow
the ordinary passenger coach OF. the road, in
which the family will be accommodated.
This latter bears the name Eastern Out
look" which is the point of observation 10
which Gen. Grant was last wheeled in his
bath chair. the Monday before he died. 1t
is the same car in which the dead general
aSeended the mountain, Just seven weeks
before. Ii other cars are attached to the
funeral train they will be for the eonven-
ience of those nearly concerned in the con-
duct of the obSequieS. The train viii con-
sumo one hour in running down to Saratoga
from the mountain top, being twenty min
utes more than the usual schedule. The
transfer of the remains will be made at the
Saratoga terminus of the mountain road.
this being necessary because the mountain
funeral car is mounted upon narrow-gauge
trucks, while the connecting roads are of
the usual broad gauge.

English Tributes.

LONDON, July 27.-As mark of respec
for the late Gen. Grant military bands
throughout England refrained from playing
the usual Sunday selections yesterday, but
played dead marches instead. The Daily
Telegraph in an editorial referring to Gen.
Grants anxiety to finish his book says:
There is some of Walter Scott's heroic
graphing with financial ruin in this last act
of the deceased warriors life which ought
to be remembered in his favor along with
his other great claims to English respect
and admiration when the service in West

Asking Extension of Time.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-A delegation of
cattlemen interested in grazing lands in the
Indian territory are in the city, and have
called on the president and secretary of the
interior and have asked for an extension of
the time allowed them to remove their eat
tie from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe In
dian reservations, under the recent order OF
the president, from 40 to 100 days Their
request has not been yet considered There
is large quantity of land in other reserva-
tionS which are occupied in the same way.
but no order of this kind has been made in
regard to them, although this may be re-
garded as a precedent for further action to
follow. The recent troubles with indians
ON the Cheyenne and ArapahOe reservations
was the immediate cause of the order.

respectively. The object of these reservoirs
Is TO accumulate water, to be let out when
the rivers are at a low state, and so increase
the depth of water in the channel. He
reports that the experiment has been tried
and 1t has worked to the satisfaction of the
engineer, and recommends an appropriation
