Harrison, the colored body servant of
Gen. Grant, is earning living as a COM
poSitor in the government printing
House at Washington. A typesetter
who has been working alongside,of Har-
rison tells this story with reference to
what Gen. Grant desired should be his
last resting place. Two or three days
befcR, thegeneral died, he called Harri-
son to him and wrote note on one of
he pads that he always kept at his ell
bow. 1t was statement of where he
wished to be buried. He was in the
habit of writing messages of this kind
and handing them to Harrison, and
sometimes gave directions to the colored
man in writing, so that Harrison felt
free, as he stood there awaiting the gen
erals instructions. to read what he had
written. The general folded the note
and placed it in an envelope and told
Harrison to deliver it to Mrs.
Grant three days after he should die.
The note was actually delivered on the
second day after the generals death,
instead Of the third, because of the pres
sure that had been brought to bear ON
Mrs. Grant on this subject. Harrison
refuses to answer any questions regard
ing the contents of the note except that
when asked if the general is buried in
accordance with his wishes he replies
in the negative. New York Tribune.

SUDDEN DEATH.
The Thcad of Hi ram Mowers Life snapped
without Moments Warning-An Old
and W ell known Resident.

The remarkably sudden death of Hiram
Mower this morning was one of the chief
topics of conversation on the streets today.
He had been feeling i'll more or less during
the whole winter. but had never been con
fined to his bed and had never had any
symptoms of heart trouble. This morning
he arose, apparently in very good health
and spirits. and ate hearty breakfast.
About o'clock he retired To the water
closet, and his long absence there
caused one Of the children of his
brother to enter and investigate
The old gentleman was found sitting upon
the seat stone dead The child gave the
alarm and the rest of the family We're
called To the scene. The corpse was
carried into the house and med
ical assistance was summoned. 1t was of
course useless. for life had been long eN-
tinct when he was first discovered. \ con-
SuItation Of physicians was held and they
determined that his death was the result
of a sudden attack of heart disease. Cor
uner Bennett examined int" the case and
rendered the same verdict. Any such
theory as poisoning was precuded by
the fact that deceased was of a happy and
contented disposition. and had nothing in
the world to trouble him. He was formerly
in the habit of drinking to some extent, but
has not mduged in the habit for the past
two or three wears.
Deceased was a bachelor, - years old,
end has lived here all his life. He was by
trade a blacksmith. and was employed at
the Champion shops. He was widely
known, particularly among the members
of the old Neptune" fre brigade. of which
organization he was one of the leading
members when it hOuriShed in the nooonday
of its glory. He boarded with the widow
