On one of these deserted booths read the invitation: Bite one of my pies be- fore visiting the Tomb" If that mans pies were like most New York pies, by the time the pie-biter got to the tomb, he would as lief be inside as outside of it. The man who revels habitually in New York pies is not long for this world.
 Everybody is familiar with the appear ance of General Grants tomb, thanks to the illustrated pre:s. Architecturally i, reminds one of one of these big Dutch bake-ovens, except that there is cross on top. Immediately behind the tomb is a guard tent, in front of which, on bench, are sitting two stalwart boys in blue with pronounced Hibernian expressions of countenance. A third one is walking his post in front of the tomb, around which is gathered about twenty five visitors.
 Through the open grate is to be seen the end of the steel shell or case, in which is the casket, containing the mortal re- mains of one of the bravest, most kind. hearted. most unaffected and greate s. men that ever lived.
 Around the steel case are a number of faded flowers in pots. There is also floral clock, the hands pointing to eight minutes past eight, the time of General Grants death. There are numerous other floral decorations.
 To the west, and stretching far to the north among the blue hills is the lordly Hudson. It is indeed a noble river. e:St. across the river are the Jersey hills covered with trees, which are radiant with scarlet, bright yellow and other tints of expiring autumn, which have been slashed on, as it were, by the hand of that grand old master artist Nature, with a big N am utterly unable to describe the glories of a northern forest in autumn. The woods seem to be on fire. They look like one immense circus poster. The woods are as bright and gorgeous as they were, as all the female population of the country gather autumn leaves for some, to me, incomprehensible object. The consequence is that the trees are prema- turely denuded of their foliage, hence the golden tints of expiring autumn are rot as numerous as they otherwise might be-
 The tomb of General Grant is not on the highest point. On the contrary, it is in a depression. There is much higher place about fifty yards distant. This, however, does not make much difference The relic fiend carries off vast quantities of pebbles and soil daily, and in a shor, time the high ground between the tomb and the river will have entirely disap peared. There are so many cranks of that kind in New York that were it not tor the soldier on guard, the tomb itseli would not be safe.
