New York special:-Col. 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. It is 100 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 tho river can see the mon
ument when two hours distant from it, and
every pleasure seeker that leaves the city
in the rays OF the morning sun and In
the evening twilight. It 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 Carcmont
house. This building stands on high
plateau ut the end Of Riverside Park. The
building was the home OF the St. Glare
family, and, when the grounds about it
were acquired by tho city, the old building,
which has stood for more than 12O year.
on the same site, was rcmodeled and trans.
formed into q house for refreshments under
tho 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
cd by the board OF Aldermen: Whereas,
The family OF Gen. U. 8 Grant have accept.
cd the offer Of the corporation OF the city Of
New York, for scpulcher in one oithe pub.
lie parks OF this city, and have selected q
site in Riverside Park for that purpose, be

sepulcher in said Riverside Park be, and is
hereby given to Gen. y. 8. Grant and his
wife, upon her demise. Resolved, That Q
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 be therefore duly executed by
the city authorities.

Going into Battle.
rom the Cincinnati Times.star

From the Cincinnati Times.Star.
Said Capt. George w. Stone recently:
II don't believe any man ever wentin-
to battle without feeling frightened.
1 know never did. I'll tell you when
q man feels real badly. It's when he
is forming his men into line for big
battle while q little diminishing fire is
kept up all the time. Every minute or
so someone, maybe your best friend,
standing right next to you will shrek
out, ooh, my God, and fall back dead,
yet you cannot let your men fire, for
the army must be drawn up first.
There is plenty of time to think. You
don't dare to retaliate in any way.
The next bullet may find your heart,
and your children will be left father
less. 1t is moment that tries the
bravest man, because he has to stand
quietly and take it all. But when the
order comes to fight and the excite
ment of the battle arises, fear passes
away. You have something to do.
You have q duty to perform at any
cost. Bullets drive into the ground
at your feet, sending up little clouds of
dust: they whistle past your ears and
maybe cut holes in your clothing.
Shells and shrapncl kill yourcamrades
and leave you living, and soon there
comes a feeling that somegood fortune
has preserved you and will protect
you, and the desire to do as much
damage to the enemy alone fills your
mind. That was my experience in the
army, and don't believe that the
man lived who did not feel at thecom
mencement of u fight that he would
rather be somewhere else.n

General Grant Notes.

Gen. Hancock has issued orders that n
company Of artillery, armed aus infantry
soon be sent to Mt. McGregor, and that
several pieces Of light artillery shall he sent
there, fully equipped for the purpose OF fir
ing salutes at the proper time in honor Of
tho dead.
Reports which have been sent out in re.
gard to the condition OF Mrs. Grant are
unduly alarming. She expects to accom-
pany the remains to Albany, and no rea-
son is known to the family why she should
not do so. Mrsp Grant had not until the
past fewadays become convinced TINT no
remarkable cure was to he effected irfsehe
generals case, as she had believed, and
when his death occurred the effect of disap.
pointed hope, combined with the natural
shock OF her bereavement, produced II re-.
action from which she is not yet recovered
so AZ to enable her to minge as freely with
the family as before the generals demise.

to reconsider their decision to bury the gen.
eral Mt Riverside Park, he said:
The family are thoroughly familiar with
the arguments that have been brought to

They have concluded to accept the place
