"Rive" and Rival.

From the London Chronicle.
Lord Elgin, in proposing the health of the
Prince of Wales as Duke of Rothesay-i. E.,
Crown Prince of Scotland-at the Scottish
corporation dinner the other night said that
his royal highness was doing all he could
to rive his fathers bonnet" Some one
suggested that his lordship might have said
rival but that would have been nonsense.
Rive Is the word as meaning to tear
asunder, but the phrase is somewhat out of
currency, for there were many good Scots
men at the banquet who had never heard
1t before. Jameson defines it to mean Ito
excel one in every respect" but 1t would be
interesting to know how it originally came
to signify that. AS used by the Earl OF
Eigin, however, the locution was a little
more complimentary than courtly.

Devoted to the Memory Of Her Illus
trious Husband.

One of the shining characteristics of the
late Mrs. Julia Dent Grant WIS her intense
loyalty to the memory of her distinguished
husband. She seldom spoke of him to other
than her most intimate friends, but to these
she ever dwelt upon his merits as a man
Never falling to realize his career as a
great military chieftain, it was her wont to
speak of his genuine worth as partner in
iife's sorrows and pleasures and of his
lovabie nature.
A few months ago, when the designs for
the Grant memorial to be erected by the
government on the mall back of the White
House were on exhibition in the basement
of the Corcoran Art Gallery Mrs Grant
was among the first to view them She vas
accompanied by her daughter, Mrs Sartoris
Nellie Grant,. and Mrs. Fred D. Grant.
She was then a sufferer from rheumatism
and 1t was with difficulty. even with the aid
Of cane and leaning on the arm of her
daughters that she moved about
She spent an hour or more among the
plaster Of Paris models submitted in COM
petition. She gazed upon the chiseled fea-
lures of the man who had directed a VIC
torious army-the father Of her children,
the one whose memory she loved and cher
ished beyond measure AS they were about
to leave the collection she turned to tho
man who had piloted the little party and,
as tear coursed down her wrinkled check,
said:
1T is hard to say which Is the best.
Realizing that only one of the designs
would be decided upon for the memorial,
with words OF tenderness she asked:
why couldn't they all be preserved in
marble just az they are?"
Mrs. Grant left her home only few
times after this. At that time those who
had known her for years felt that she
would not live long.

As 10 tho White House proper. the Presi-
dents actual home and residence, the changes
there hav" not been radical, nor do they
concern tho public as much as the alleged

that the present executive Offices are for
from being as comfortable or having as hno

dents nj the past.
