Grant, and who was formerly minister to
Austria, is opposed to the proposition to re-
move the General remains to Arlington or
the Soldiers home. Gen. Beale saws: "As
q result OF conversations with the General
and members of the family, l am convinced
that the proper place forthe remains of Gen.
Grant will bethe grounds south of the White
House. Let the testimonial take the form
OF magnificent fountain, with pleasant
places Tor men, women and children, and
where 1t would be centrally located and easy
OF access. The proposition has been made,
too, that the remains of the lamented Lin
coin should be removed to Washington, and l
say let this be done by all means, and let
the White House grounds be their final rest
ing place. What a magnificent idea it
would be to rear monuments, fountains, or
some equally artistic and splendid design to
Lincoln and Grant, side by side, and close
to the shaft which perpetuates the memory
OF the Father of his Country, thus honoring
in most signal manner the three great
men In the history of the United States.

while Mrs. Grant and other members of her
family have been at my house in this city,
the subject has been talked over but nothing
definite was determined upon regarding the
removal of the generals remains from Riv-
erside park"
Past and present met at the white house
recently, shook hands, and enjoyed a social
three-quarters of an hour with each other in
the green parlOr. EX-President Grover
Cleveland impersOIated the past, while
President Harrison represented the present.
MIR. and Mrs. Cleveland drove to the execu-
tive mansion together but only the ex-presi-
dent alighted, his wife satisfying herself by
sending a card in to her successor as mistress
of the twostory and basement national
palace Then she drove away, the empty

vice rules so as to provide for filling vaCan-
cies in the railway mail service by certifying
Tor each vacancy the names of the three
persons having the highest standing on ex-
animation resident in the counties on the
