Grant to be Buried at Riverside Park.

New York Specialized. Fred Grant came
down to New York and after looking the
ground over, concluded that Riverside Park,
New York, near Central Park. should be the
place of sepulchre. The matter having been
thus presented to the family, conclusion
was reached in accord with the colonel's
suggestion.
The Riverside Park covers 1T acres, and
it has been in possession of the city since
1872. 1t is $50 feet above the water level,
and on a clear day one can see up the river
more than twenty miles. Every tourist
that comes down the river can see the mon
ument when two hours distant from it, and
every pleasure seeker that leaves the city
for days sail on the Hudson can view it
in the rays of the morning sun and in
the evening twilight. 1t is easily &C
cessible. 1t can be reached by the
elevated road, the cable cars, the horse cars
or Hudson River railroad The burial
place will be on the site of the St. Clare
homestead, now known as the Garemont
house. This building stands on high
plateau at the end OF Riverside Park The
building was the home OF the St. Clare
family, and, when the grounds about it
were acquired by the city, the old building,
which has stood for more than 100 year.
on the same site, was remOdeled and trans
formed into a house for refreshments under
the control OF the park department. The
tomb and monument to Gen. Grant will
be directly on the site of this building,
which must be demolished or removed.
The following resolutions were then adopt
ed by the board OF Aldermen: Whereas,
The family OF Gen. U. s Grant have accept
cd the offer OF the corporation OF the city OF
New York, for sepulcher in one OF the pub
lie parks okthis city, and have selected a
site in Riverside Park for that purpose, be

sepulcher in said Riverside Park be, and is
hereby given to Gen. U. g. Grant and his
wife, upon her demise. Resolved, That
proper decd Of cession for the purpose desig-
mated be prepared by the counsel to the
corporation, when the exact locality and
dimensions OF the ground are fixed, and the
said deed DO therefore duly executed by
the city authorities.

Club Life in New York.

Concerning bachelors, a New York cor
respondent writes: Club life is getting to
be much more of feature Of New York
society than it was ten years ago. Though
it would seem by the papers that a great
many men are being married, still there
are great many bachelors, and to bache-
lors the club is a great boon. There was
a time, and that not very long ago, when
the restaurants Of the clubs were con-
tinual source of expense, as they were
very scantily patronized; for the number
of men who had dined at home, were very
few, and even the club members, though
they do not always dine at home, do not
always dine at the club. If you go to
Delmonico's any evening, or to the Bruins
wick, or, in fact, any restaurant in New
York, you will see a great many club
men at the table, which shows that they
do not always dine at their house.
1.-THE reason for this is hard to under
stand, for one would think that q member
of club, with good restaurant, would
rather dine at his club if he were not
going to dine at home, than anywhere
else around town; the table is always sure
to be good, and attendance excellent, the
service luxurious, the surroundings
pleasant, and he may smoke his cigar with
his coffee and enjoy himself without any
of the restraints of the public restaurant
And another feature of club life
is that the meals are served for
about what they cost. so that it is
much less expensive than any firstcl
restaurant such as Delmonico's or
the Brunswick. But, as 1 say, within a
very few years club restaurants are more
patronized than they were, and bachelor
life seems to be more popular than in old
times, for the reason, L suppose, that
bachelors are made more comfortable
nowadays than they used to be.
at does seem as though every temptation
were held out to a man to be bachelor.
The handsomest apartment houses in New
York are bachelor apartment houses, and
they are run with such completeness in
the way of attendance that man who
gets used to these creature comforts is 10th
to take the risk of married life. These
bachelor apartment houses are not fur
nished with restaurants, but the dodgers
can get their breakfasts in their rooms if
they choose. The rooms are rented IN
furnished, and are divided into small
suites of from two to four rooms.

claws Buttered watermelon.

Il want to tell YOU" said the superan-
nuated restauratuer to a Washington cor
respondent, "of Henry Clay. Perhaps
you never heard of what an eater he was.
Well, l can say that knew Mr.. Clay a
great many years., because l waited on
him both at the National hotel and at
Hancock's restaurant, as well as at a good
many other places. Mr. Clay was a great
lover Of broiled oysters and baked pump
kins. He could eat more than any man
I ever see. Perhaps you don't know that
Mr.. Clay used to eat butter on his water
melons? Well, he did. l recollect very
well that on a certain day when there was
a great many famous men at the table, in
Guiding Mr.. Corwin. Calhoun and Gen.
Carey, of Michigan, Mr.. Clay had his
watermelon set out before him.
"He said: Now, gentlemen, you have
before you the most magnificent product
of the vegetable kindOm. Now, here is
the most magnificent product of the
animal kingdOm-butterp Well, sir, Mr..
Clay proceeded to butter his watermelon,
and he put the butter on thick, and can
say that he did not stop at one slice. In
fact he did not stop at four or five slices of
buttered watermelon, every time they
put watermelon on the table. But can
say that none of the other gentlemen ever
followed his advice. One of Mr.. Clay's
friends, a Kentucky colonel, tried it once,
but you ought to see him lay it down
real quick. No, sir; l never see nobody
else 'cept Mr.. Clay take to buttered water
melon.
