Until lately it was supposed that
lack of income would necessitate the
renting of the Grant residence in New
York, but as the pecuniary prospect
brishtens with the huge and ever in
eceasing advance sale of General
Grants book the need for renting that
property grows fainter, and the result
Is that Mrs. Grant and her eldest son
will probably occupy the New York
mansion for the next year or two at
all events.

ART AND LOVE.

When as'floating' young man of 30
years has sister of II ready to grad
uate from the boarding school which
has conveniently, swallowed her up for
thelast eight years what is he to do with
her? This was the question that puz-
zled Frank Curtis. Herememheredh his
sister as avery pretty littlegirl, though
be had not seen her for three years.
There was no help for it. Frank saw
that matrimany for him was immi-
pent.
About this time he made trip with
the Cutler family; they We're rich and
self-made, worshipping their mas
ter, and the household consisted
of father, mother and daughter,
still under Is. Joseph Cutler, of
Cutler, Sheffield & Co., was renuted
worth 100000, of which one at
least the golden youth! hoped would
be settled ON his daughter Lizzie as a
bride. Not very clever, not very pref
ty, she at least knew that her money
could buy her whatever she wanted in
the way of a husband, and she was
content to wait until chance should
bring her the man who most nearly re-
sembled her ideal,
Frank Curtis wcoing was brief after
he had nzee decided that Lizzie Cutters
money would provide a luxurious
home for himself and his sister. He
had a small income of his own, and was
considered clever in his profession.
Congratulations began to pour in
thick and fast OH the pair when a
hundred thousand dollar house began
to rise at Cutters expence, to beready
for the young couple ON their return
from their bridal trip. They were to
take in Clara Curtis commencement
as they Travelled and bring her home
with them.

MOTHER YATES ON BAPTISM.

The discussion between Rev. Drs. Kay
and Ditzler, at Bozeman over the sprink'
ling or subrnerging process of saving sim
ners lasted ten days. The reverend gentle
men tore the propositions discussed all to
pieces, and it is a difficult matter to tell
which came out first best. Many people
from the country attended the discussions
and among others, according to the Courier,
was Mother Yates Of the Gallatin Valley.
The lady is the mother Of numerous
family Of ch ildren, most Of whom have
grown to maturity and are living on the
valley. During an intermission between
the sessions Bozeman acquaintance asked
Mother Yates what she thought of the dis.
cussion as far as it had progressed, and oh.
tanned, in substance, the following reply:
"Well, III tell you what it Is; I've raised a
large family of children, and if thought
that sprinkling, or any other mode Of bap.

The end OF the hero which the people O
the Republic have for months awaited witt
hopes and fears-and, for the averting O
which millions of patriotic hearts nave in
voked prayerful supplications to the Grea
Dispenser OF the destinies Of mankind
has come. General Grant, the great mill
tary hero Of the nineteenth century, Is
dead. In secluded cottage on Mt. Nc.
Gregor, surrounded BY his family, the
soul Of the hero Of the age returned to its
Giver at Sos o'clock a. m. on Thursday,
the 23d Of July. The wires flashed the
sad news from ocean to ocean, and fifty
millions of free and enlightened people
heard the nournful tidings with deep sor.
row. In every city, town, village and ham.
let throughout the whole land the half:
masting Of the flag Of our country and
the drapings Of woe attested a Republics
sorrow at the death Of one of its greatest
patriot citizens. General Grants life, from
his birth to his death, is SO familiar to
Americans and it is SO world wide that It
requires no mention while the earthly re.
mains Of the dead chieftain awaits sepul.
cher. No tribute of transient pen can
brighten or magnify the brilliant career of
man SO renowned and ilustrious as him
whom powerful Nation now mourns.
Springing from the humblest condition in
life he rose to the highest position of emf.
nence attainable BY man on earth. The
sixty..wo years of his lifetime are crowded
with great and glorious deeds that will
form prominent part in our country's
history, and the lustre Of which will not
fade when generations Of men have lived
and passed away. In the hour Of death
the bitter assaiings Of unscrupulous polit.
cal enemies are hushed, aud a full need of
justice is done to the grand Old hero
whose memory will ever find u place in
the hearts Of his countrymen. The enco.
MUM SO universally bestowed on the i'm.
mortal Washington might be fittingly ap.
piled to General Grant-"First in war,
first in peace, and first in the hearts of
his countrymen."
