torture of whole or wen semi-con-

that time it was necessary, in order
to avoid arousing her suspicious, to

Grants Grave.

Mr.. S. l.. Clemens-'Mark Twain"
in a letter to the New York Sun on
the selection of a site for the grave OF
General Grant, says:
We need to consider posterity rath-
er than our own generation. We
should select a grave which will not
merely be in the right place now, but
will still be in the right place 500 years
from now.
How does Washington promise as
to that? 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 a fair
warning 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 possible
ties that, a century hence, people
would wonder and say: "How did our
predecessors come to bury their great
dead in this deserted placer"
But as long as civilization lasts New
York will last. l cannot but think
she has been well and wisely chosen as
the guardian of a 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 avast city,
and the most notable object in it, will
still be the tomb and monument Of
General Grant.
] 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 S body
| lies, that is national ground.

and had also served through the In

OF the several members OF the Grant
family the New York Tribune says:
The Grants are living quietly in the
old home in Sixty-sixth 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" becuase
he was born In the Buckeye state,
stays on his farm near Purdy's sta,
ton in Westchester county, most OF
the time. Mrs. Grant goes out seldom.
She IS not in good health, having been
severely tasked by the generals long
illness. Ex-senator Chaffee of Color
ado, who is father-in-law of Buck"
Grant, is here for the winter. / called
his attention to theinteTview In which
Ferdinand Ward had sought to con
vey the impression that the Grant
boys had proEted by large Sums drawn
out OF the Marine bank and the firm.
The senator said to me: 'SThe checks
will show just what was done In all
those matters. Whenever Ward drew
q check on the Marine bank or any
other which represented the profits OF
the boys in the concern-the so-caIled
profits--they almost immediately re.
deposited the amount either with the
Marine bank OF the firm, so that in
any event Ward and Fish had the
money. Whatever Of it was not put
back with the firm was spent for their
personalexpenses. Buck lived well.
He thought he was rich. He lived in
, style commensurate only with his
income, He had $25, 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 corresponding'y

the Grant boys got any OF this money
il'egitimately Is TO inquire what they
have got now. That tells the story

the room was a picture ofcheerful and

It is not etiquette for Queen of
