NJ. Francis Jules P. Grcvy was re-,4ccted
president Of the French republic, on the
Joint vote OF the senate and chamber Of
deputies acting as a national assembly.
The balloting was carried on amid great
excitement. The streets in the vicinity
were also thronged with people. During
the progress Of the voting NJ. Cuneo
d'Ornans shouted that the national as.
sembly az at present constituted, was Q
body OF usurpers. NJ. Paul de Cassagnac
cried out that the congress was illegal, and
the presidential election farce, as four de-
partmcnts of France were not represented
at the meeting.
Francois Paul Jules Grevy was born in
August. 1913. He was educated at the col.
lego Of Poliquy, and aftcrward studied law
at Paris. He is short in stature, has a
square, bald head, grey eyes, and firmly.
closed lips. Everything about him indi-
Gates strength and decision. When n stu.
dent in the latin quarter OF Paris he took
part in the revolution OF 1886, and when
lighting was over returned to his studies
with the determination to make himself an
accomplished lawyer. In 1S4S he wass sent
to his native department OF the Jura to
act as commissioner-one OF the most diff.
cult ofpostions owing to the fear with which
the collapse Of the throne had inspired in the
provinces. The Jura testified its gratitude
Tor his able administration by returning
him to the assembly, and he was soon
elected vice president by that body. In
1851 the coup d'etat drove n. Grcvy from
political life, and until 1868 he was occu.
pied with his professional duties. In 1869
he was reelected to the assembly, where
he proposed the plebescits started on the
part OF Napoleon. After the downfall Of
OF the latter, Grevy was elected president
of the assembly, holding the office for three
years. and in 1879 was elevated to the
presidency OF the republic. He is intensely
republican, and his special anxiety has been
to maintain tranquility, security and con-
fidence

Grants Grave.

Mr.. s. L. Clcmens-''Mar Twain
i'm q letter to the New York Sun on
the selection of site for the grave OF
General Grant, says:
We need to consider posterity rath-
er than our own generation. We
should select n grave which will not
merely be in the right place now, but
will stillbe in the right place 5OOyears
from now.
How does Washington promise as
to that2 You have only to hit it in
one place to kill it. Some day the
West will be numerically strong
enough to remove the seat of govern
ment; her past attempts are u fair
warming that when the day comes she
will do it. Then the city of Washing
ton will lose it's consequence, and pass
out of the public view and the public
talk. 1t is quite within the possibili-
ties that, n century hence, people
would wonder and say: GLOW did our
predecessors come to bury their great
dead i'll this deserted placer"
But as long as civilization lasts New
York will last. cannot but think
she has been well and wisely chosen as
the guardian OF n grave which is des-
tined to become almost the most con-
spicuous in the worlds history.
Twenty centuries from now New York
will still be New York, still vast city,
and tho most notable object in it, will
still be the tomb and monument of
General Grant.
I observe that the common and
strongest objection to New York is
that sheis not national" ground. Let
us give ourselves no uneasiness about
that. Wherever General Grant body
lies, that is national ground.

The Grant Family.

OF the several members OF the Grant
family the New York Tribune says:
The Grants are living quietly in the
old home in Sixty-si1th street. Col.
Frederick and Jesse r. are engaged in
bringing out the second volume OF the
generals memoirs. U. S. Grant, who
is generally known as "Buck" bec,,asc
he was born in the Buckeye state,
stays on his farm near Purdys sta
tion in Westchester county, most Of
he time. Mrs. Grantgo out seldom.
She is not in good health, having been
severely tasked by the generals long
illness. Ex-senator Chaffce OF Color
ado, who is father in-law of "Buck"
Grant, is here for the winter. Icalled
his attention to the interview in which
Ferdinand Ward had sought to con-
vey the impression that the Grant
boys had profited by large sums drawn
out OF the Marine bank and the firm.
The senator said to me: "The check
will show just what was done in all
those matters. Whenever Ward drew
check on the Marine bank or any
other which represented the profits Of
the boys in the concern-the so-called
protits--they almost Immediately re-
deposited the amount either with the
Marine bank or the firm, SO that i'll
any event Ward and Fish had the
money. Whatever of it was no. put
back with the firm was spent for their
personal expenses. "Buck" lived well
He thought he was rich. He lived in
n style commensurate only with his
income. He had S25 900 a year from
the bonds that gave to his wife. He
thought he was making large sums out
of the transactions of the firm and his
expenditures were correspondinsly
large. But the best test as to whether
the Grant boys got any of this money
illegitimately is to inquire what they
have got now. That tells the story
| of their clean skirts"

ARascally Russian Count.

The sad story of a St. Louisgi who
married Russian, q Count Smirnoff;
so called at least, is related by q
Washington correspondent. She was
a Miss Blow. Her father was Henry
T. Blow, q man of wealth and promi-
nence at St. Louis 25 years ago. He
was in congress curing the war, and
was later appointed United States
minister to Brazil. He died soon af-
ter the close OF the war, and his five
children were lett nearly 100000
each. While travelling abroad, his eld.
est daughter, n very handsome young
lady, met Smirnoff. He was a dash.
ing young fellow, with count before his
name, q designation that carries very
little weight in Europe, where there
are as many counts as there are coun.
ties in the United States, most
OF them as poverty stricken as
tramps and willing enough to confer
the empty honor of q title for some
thing wherewith to be clothed and fed.
They were married, and she lived with
him long enough for him to get all her
patrimony and waste it at the GAM
bling table and in riotous living. He
finally turned up in prison, and his
wife, now broken-hearted and ruined,
returned to her old home in st. Louis.
