YORK telegram: The family of Ckto. Grant decided to inter his remains in Riverside Park, New York. Mayor Grace was telegraphed accordingly, and the Board of Aldermen passed appropriate resolu­ tions. It is probable that the name of the park will be changed to that of Grant Park. Th© Rite is on a sort of promontory ou the Hudson Kiver. and is the highest point of famd in Manhattan vilte. The outward swell of the promontory begins at One Hundred and Twenty-second street, and the river bank returns to its regular line at One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street. The summit of this elevation forms an almost level plateau of a little more than twenty acres. On the river side the descent is ab- rapt At its foot, two hundred foet below, •re the tracks of the Hudson Kiver Railroad which runs into the West Thirtieth Street Depot Prom the edge of the bluff a stone could be flung down on the tops of the cars. If the observer on the hill looks to the south, he has opened before him the long vista of Riverside Park. The view of the Hudson to the north is very fine. All the windings of both the east and the west shores of the river are as clearly revealed as on a map for twenty miles north­ ward. On one side are the Palisades, on the other the heights which stretch from Spuyten Duyvil to Sing Sing, and beyond a high and irregular line of hills meet the horizon. As to the view from below, the monument at Riverside, if it shall be at all massive and elevated, will be a prominent object in the landscape. With a glass, travelers on steamships arriving in Hobo- ken can distinguish it. For many miles, navigators on the Hudson cannot miss see­ ing it. The spot suggests Revolutionary war memories also. Fort Lee is a bold promontory on the opposite side of the riv­ er. The old fort in Central Park is on the southeast Fort Washington is on the north, and the Highlands near West Point shut in the horizon beyond the Tappan Zee. THE New York sub-committee of the Grant Monument fund has organized by electing Chester A. Arthur President, Mayor Once and Hamilton Fish Vice Presidents, and Drexel, Morgan <fc.Co. Treasurers.... It is reported that the selection of River­ side Park for Grant's tomb was probably brought about by the influence of million­ aire holders of real estate in that vicinity. ....A lady made the first contribution to the Grant national monument fund •t New Tork--50 cents.....A recent Santos* special fays: "One reason Mrs. Grant does not give to the public the letter the General left for her is that it mentions the names of a number of men Mnr Irving, telling tow the General had keen deceived by those he supposed to be has frienis. and explaining how he was dais into the meshes of Ward. The let­ ter wottli make fully eight pages, closely written. of large-size writing paper. About the ferst labor of Cel. Grant after all is «v*r and the family is settled down will be to a biography of his father. Of emus;, co one else his such ample mate­ rial for giving a picture of General Grant's character and habits of thought. Speaking ai books, it may be said that the reports as to the profits the family expect to derive from the General's memoirs have bean ex­ aggerated. All that can be expected from the guaranteed sales up to date is $4*2,OOJ. Probably the very most that will come to them will not exceed $100,000. Colonel Grant is himself left without anything eral belief at Pittsburg is Out the advent of better times in the iron trade is at hand Timothy Beardon, a mer­ chant of North Adams, Mass., who was in­ veigled by Mrs. William B. Cook, of that place, into her house and confronted at an inopportune moment by her husband and a lawyer, promised to pay as hush- money, but afterward had the trio arrested for conspiring to blackmail. Mrs. Cook tamed State's evidence, and the trial result­ ed in a verdict of guilty. A DISPATCH from Mount MacGregor says: The letter from Mrs. Grant pat in the General's pocket when he was laid in Lis coffin simply read: "Farewell, we meet again in a better world." It also contained slock of Mrs. Grant's hair. Mrs. Grant visited the remains Thursday morning, and remained alone with them seven or eight minutes. Then she went to her room and remained there until evening, when she again visited the remains Dr. George F. Shrady. one of General Grant's medical advisers, publishes in the Medical Record of Aug. 1 an extended review of the "surgical and pathological aspects of General Grant's case." He believes that the disease had its inception in the month of Jane, 1884, and gives a succinct history of the progress and treatment of the case from the day in October last when General Grnut first called on Dr. Fordyce Barker, his family phy­ sician, up to its fatal termination. It sug- - gests no new theories in regard to the case, and is rather intended to be a connected narrative for the benefit of the medical pro­ fession, being largely coached in terms familiar to that body.

Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans, with profound sorrow and sincere regret, receive the announcement of the death of U. S. Grant, and that the people of Virginia will ever cherish and revere the memory of Ulysses 8. Grant as an American soldlor and citizen: that the people of the South and especially the people of Vlrulnla will always hold in gratetul memory his uniform and unvarying kindness of purpose toward this people and the constancy with which he maintained the invio­ lability of the parole which he had granted to Gen. Robert K. I.ee and his soldiers at the ter­ mination of the late civil strife. Stonewall Jackson Camp of Confeder­ ate Veterans adopted resolutions of similar import. THREE brothers, Ed, Bob, and Porter Hawkins, called upon Horace Mullins, in Anderson County, Kentucky, and desired to know if he had used foul language about their sister. The four men began firing at once, two of the Hawkinses falling dead at the first shot, the third receiving slight wounds at the second discharge. Mullins escaped unhurt... .The walls of a rolling mill at South Wilmington, Del, fell, kill- ing two men and wounding half a dozen others, some of them mortally. '• .

THESOlTtfOU A DISPATCH from Atlanta, Ga., says that at Suwanee, on the Richmond and Danville Railroad, a ditcii train ran over a ^0ons tiaoJc. THE remains of Geu. Grant were dressed and plaeed in the casket on Wednesday evening, the 29th nit., and the formal transfer of the body to the custody of U. S. Grant Post was made at 9 o'clock p. m. A Mount MacGregor dispatch says: The casket was inclosed in a heavv oaken box, with nickel-plated protectors at the cor­ ners. Upon the top was a gold-plated inscrip­ tion plate, upon which was engraved: U. 8. GRANT, Died July 23, 1988. The suit the General is to be buried In Is of Mack broadcloth. He wears a low stand­ ing collar, with a black necktie tied in a Plain bow-knot. In the shirt bosom is a Single, plain gold stud. On the feet are white stockings and patent-leather slippers. The hands rest easily across the breast, with toe right a little above the left. On the little finger of the left hand is a plain gold ring, which the General wore for many years. The casket, as soon as the remains were finally be­ stowed in it, was closed up with the two heavy plate-gla-e covers, and it will not l>e disturbed ag«in. The copper cover rests over It, and is removed whenever the'body is shown. When it is close I it is with sixty screws. The reason the G* neral will not be bnried in his uniform is because he had none. His uni­ form of lieutenant General was sent to Wash­ ington with the other relics of his career, last spring, and was transferred to the Government, and all his swords went at the same time, and when Mrs. Grant saw a picture the other day representing a coffin with a sword resting iipon It she was much affected. The General felt the parting with the swords which he had worn in the army more keenly than that with all his other trophies, and it touched Mrs. Grant deeply that now he was dead there was not one of the swords he cherished eo much to rest upon his coffin. THE United Labor League of America adopted the following resolutions npon the death of Gen. Grant: Iicsoh-fd, By the Labor League, that we deeply deplore the death of Gen. Grant, and send condolence to his wife and children.

Hett'ilcrfl, Thst his name is inseparably linked with the cause of human freedom, that his fame belongs to no nation, bnt it is the property of all the people of the world. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, who, at the re­ quest of Mrs. Grant, selected the pall­ bearers for Gen. Grant's funeral, tele­ graphed her to know if she had any pref­ erences or suggestions to make in the mat­ ter. He received a re ily from her by tele­ graph, saying that it was her wish that he should name the pall-bearers, and that the only suggestion she would make was that in case any prominent Union officer like Gen. Sherman be selected, a lead­ ing Confederate officer like Gen. John­ ston or Gen. Buckner be also in­ cluded in the list, Mrs. Grant's wishes in this regard were respected, the President having appointed the following: Gen. William T. Sherman, U. 8. A.; Lieut. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, U. S. A.; Admiral David D. Porter, U. S. N.; Vice Admiral Stephen C. Rowau, U. S. N.; Gen. Joseph E. Johnson, of Virginia; Gen. Simon B. Buckner, of Kentucky; Hamilton Fish, of New York; George W. Childs. of Pennsylvania; John A. Logan, of Illi- no's; George Jones, of New York; and Oliver Hoyt, of New York. A severe thunder-storm prevailed at Mount MacGregor on the evening of the 30th nit., and a number of persons were struck by lightning, among them Gen. R. H. Jack- sou and Col. W.

Gen. Borac« Porter's Recollection*. [Mount MacGregor specitd.] Gen. Porter said he felt keenly for Mrs. Grant, for he knew how verv strong was the bond of affection between her and her late husband. They were always together, except when the General was in the field, aud there always existed between them the utmost harmony. Speaking of Gen. Grant's disposition, Gen. Porter said: "It was one of the hap- Eiest dispositions I ever knew. I was with im for nine consecutive yeais, never leav­ ing his side but for a few hours at a time, and I never knew hfcn to be angry. The nearest approach to it was once when he saw a teamst?r unmercifully beaitng a poor horse. The General dashed up to him and •aid: 'You scoundrel! you ought to bo ashamed of yourself.' The teamster made some impertinent reply, and the General ordered him tied up by the hands. Gen. Grant never in his life uttered an oath. I never heard him even utter the mildest fdprfT of an impreoatibn. which is a most njnusual thing in the free-and-easy ntmos- ^phere of army life. ThiB mme happy dis­ position was one of <the reasons why all those who were immediately about i im, from the humblest dependent lip, were so devotedly attached to him. An instance of this is shown in the case of Albert Haw­ kins, the coal-black coachman, who has asked permission to drive the hearse at the General's funeral. I don't know where the General got Albert, but it was before he was made President the first time. Gen. Grant was pre-eminently a man of the people. His heart warmed to them, and he liked to mingle in throngs. In his journeys by rail he loved to leave his private car and go ont into the smoker and sit down in the seat with somebody and chat. Yet be could very effectually crush undue famil­ iarity! I remember once comi'g up with him from Long Branch. We were in the smoking-oar, and a rough-looking fellow who sat in the seat in front of us glanced around and recognized the General. Tip­ ping a wink to those about him, he turned nrcund to the Geneial. and said: ' Say, Cap, give us a light, will ye?' Gen. Grant looked calmly over him with that imper­ turbable face of his, and then, taking out his match-box, he handed the man two matches. There was that about this sim­ ple little action whish definitely checked any further advances, and the man who had tried it, from that time on, was very much interested in the passing landscape. "I never in my life: saw but one man so cool under fire as was Gen. Grant," con­ tinued Gen. Porter, "and that was a bugler in the Fourth Cavalry. Both the General and this man could look right in the face of the heaviest fire without even so much as winking. Not one man out of thousands can be found who will not involuntarily move when bullets whistle by his ear, but Gen. Grant never moved a muscle. He was also a wonderfully ready man. I re­ member that second day's fight at the Wil­ derness, when in the evening word came in that Shaler had been captured, that Sey­ mour had been captured, and Sedgwick's command driven back. Gen. Grant coolly and swiftly gave hie orders, moving thou­ sands of men here and thousands there. It was as though he had known the situation for days instead of a few minutes, andjps basing his movements on carefully Matured plans. He was also lallvrt Mispressing his opiniqns Mn) Y*^jLupon to do so, and when pel&L ^elten his views on cer­ tain points, And asked him to write them down when he had thought them over, he would say: 'I can write them down now for you.' Then ho would take pen and paper, and quickly write page after page so clearly and concisely that not an interline­ ation would be required. He wrote his message vetoing the inflation of the cur­ rency in just this way. He sat down at a little round table in bis bed-room and wrote rapidly on until he hid fin­ ished, and the message contained one of the most exhaustive analyses of our cur­ rency system that haye ever been pub­ lished. In the field the General usually wore a common blue army blouse and a slouch hat. He had two horses, one called Jeff Davis and the other Cincinnati. Jeff Davis was captured down on Davis' plantation, I believe. It was a brown pony, and a very easy-riding animal Gen. Grant rode this horse when I accompanied him to the front at the time the mine was exploded in front of Petersburg. There was somo bungling about the work, and the Gen­ eral pushed on to the front. The men did not recognize him as he hurried through their ranks. Dismounting from his horse, he leaped over the works, crawled through the abattis, and pushed on to the extreme front. Gen. Grant was one of the best horsemen I ever saw. He could ride easily on any horse, no matter how awk­ ward his gait was, and he had the knack of getting out of his horse all there was in him, too. I remember once when Mr. Bonner asked him if he did not want to drive one of his horses. The General re­ plied that he did, and drove the horse over uhe course, getting out of him the second fastest time he had ever made. He had a strong, friendly way of handling a hors^ that at once won his confidence, just as a little child feels confidence in the nurse who holds him gently and securely." Onmt [Dr. lMT#il§ saw him exaltttl by the most glowin* Mceess nor depressed by fiiiiare, He took things as the; came. He had more of the qaalihea that Inspire het© worship than any on* I met etme in contact with. Such*man does not ap­ pear but onoe in an age. He rarely ever used a profane word. When angry, which was rare, he was the opposite of other men. Bo won id then knit his brows, compress his lips, and apeak slowly." "WW day ol he enter Vtcksburg?" "The 4th of July. Gen. Pemberton wanted him to enter the day before, but he replied: 'No, I have been waiting to cele­ brate (he 4th.' The first thing he did was to issue abundant rations and parole the prisoners. That was a master stroke to Sarole them, for had he sent them NoYth ley would have been a tremendous ex­ pense to the Government, and as soon as exchanged they would have returned to the rebel ranks. As it was they were glad to Ro^home and remain on their parole." "You say Gen. Sherman was in full svm pathy with Gen. Grant?" "Assuredly. I remember to have heart. Geu. Sherman use a remarkable senten/e in speaking of his chief. Said; he: 'The thing that makes Gen. Grant so great is, that it is impossible to incumber him with men or responsibilities. He could com­ mand a million men if you could get a fiel l big enough. Gen. Grant comma ded the longest line of battle ever fought in the history of the world--that is Mission Ridge, seve 1 miles. Fighting was going on that entire length at once. The General sat quietly by a little telegraph instrument and ordered commander after commander to develop what was in front of him. He al­ ways knew what he was doing. He once ordered a certain general, whose name I will not give, to make an assault. The geneial, who did net want him to succeed, replied: "I fully comprehend your order, but to carry it out is the destruction of my army." Gen. Grant instantly sat down and wrote: "I am g!a d you 'comprehend my or­ der;' obey it." Victory was the result.' "Gen. Grant was the first one to dis­ cover the brilliant fighting and command­ ing qualities of John A. Logan. It is a mistake 4hat any of Gen. Logan's prefer­ ment came from po itical centers-- he won it all on. the field with bis sword under Gen. Grant's eye. They had absolute faith in each other, and were as affectionate as brothers. There was no man north of Mason and Dixon's line that so quickly forgot the bitterness engendered by the war. No one had a higher apprecia­ tion of the valor and brilliancy of the Southern soldiers. He said Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had never been excelled on earth." "Where did you first see Gen. Grant?" _ "At Galena, 111., before the war. He was sitting in front of his father's tannery whit­ tling and smoking a small pipe. He cared nothing for business. He had no idea of its details. He would not have known a Eiece of bank paper from a Chinese wash ill. Capt. Grant, as he was then called, looked about as old then as he did four years ago, when I saw him last" "Did you live in Illinois?" "Yes; I practiced medicine within twenty miles of the Genera1." OUR PORTRAIT tiALLERY. at Vickaburg -- Hli Klsdn^M to Thoce About Him. E. A. Doncan, in Louisville Courier- Journal. J "How did General Grant appear before Vicksburg?" As plain as an old stove. It was hard to make the new troops believe that it was him as he rode over the field. He wore a common soldier's blouse frizzled out at tho bottom, and cavalry pants stuffed in bis boots. He wore a low-crowned, black hat, without so much as a gold card. The sim­ plest Major General's straps were the only thing about his dress that told his rank. He always rode a splendid horse, however, and the trappings of the steed were always in full uniform. But that was due to h s orderly more than anything else. He de­ lighted in a good horse. He usually kept six of them on hand--two or three in the field at the same time. His favorite war horse was of the noted Lexington of Ken­ tucky stock, and I think he called him Lex­ ington. " "Was the General a luxurious liver?" "Bv no means. He enjoyed a good meal as, much as any one, but never complained of what was set before him. He wou'.d have been satisfied with hard-tack and sow-belly. He did not drink a drop of liquor during the siege of Vicksburg. He had promised General Rawlins, afterward his Chief of Staff aud Secretary of War, at bhiloh, to abstain. He never broke over but once from that day to the close of the war, and that was accidental. A ban juet was given to him and General Banks after the fall of Vicksburg. at New Or'eans. and in the conviviality of the hour he took a few glasses of wine." 1 "How did the General treat those about him?" "* "With the greatest kindness and respect. JIe had less egotism than any great man I ever saw. He was eager to give every man a fnll measure of praise and ap­ preciation for what he did. He would even hunt out what each man merited. One element of his greatness was his de­ sire to pull up his friends with him. It never occurred to him to claim the glory of any campaign. He always spoke of his victories as due to this, that, and the other General H**** the best balanced man I A Generous Offer. [Washington special ] "Gen. Grant has received the moot deli­ cate and heartfelt sympathy in his illness and misfortunes from some of the Confed­ erate officers and soldiers who had known him in the old army," 6aid an intimate friend of his the other day. "And apro­ pos of this is an incident which occurred last year. When the news of his complete pecuniary collapse becam3 public {here was a very general expression of regret all over the country, and many offers of • assistance were tendered, none of which, however, he ac­ cepted. I was s tting with him at his resi­ dence in New York one morning while he was goiug over his daily mail, when he looked up with a curious expression, and said: 'I want you to listen to this,' and then he proceeded to read. It was a letter from an old officer in the United States army whom Grant had known in Mexico, who left the service about the same time Grant did, and subsequently became a dis­ tinguished Confederate General. The let­ ter, as well as I can remember, ran this way: "MY DEAR GRANT: YOU and I have known each other for many j®ars, and be­ cause of that long, and, in its early days, intimate acquaintance and friend­ ship, I venture to ask you to do me a favor. I have read in the papers that, by reason of circumstances beyond yonr con­ trol, you have lost the means yon relied upon as a maintenance during the balance of your life. The favor I wish to ask is that you will allow me to send you $10,000, to be considered as a loan and repaid at yonr own convenience. I know you will receive {his tequest in the spirit I make it, and the only condition I couple with it is that the matter shall be kept a secret be­ tween us. Upon a notice of your accept­ ance I will send the amount to yoa in the shape of my personal check on the Bank of New York. Be assured, my dear Grant, that yon will confer a personal favor on me by permitting me to be of this slight ser­ vice to yon." "Do you know who it was?" was asked of the speaker. "Yes," he replied, "but I cannot give his name. He is a man of large fortune and could easily have done it, but, respecting his friend's wish, Grant desired that his name should not be made public. I have never seen Gen. Grant show so much emo­ tion and appreciation as he did in this in­ stance. Shortly after that Congress passed the bill empowering the President to retire a former General officer of the army on full pay, and Grant was at once nominated and confirmed, and thus was put beyond the need of availing himself of thet gener­ ous liberality of his friends." There is reason to believe that the per­ son who wrote Gen. Grant the letter men­ tioned was Gen. S. B. Buckner, of Ken­ tucky. _____ Simon Cameron's Tribute. < [Lancaster (Pa.) Examiner.] Sitting on the veranda of his residence Thursday evening. General Simon Cam­ eron talked affection .tely of the dead soldier. "When at the beginning of the rebellion I was Secretary of War," he said, "an Illi­ nois member of Congress came tt> me and said that certain influences were at work to drive Colonel Gnnt out of the army. He asstired me that Giant was a good soldier and a promising man, and asked me to in- terfeie in his behalf. I issued an order that proceedings in the matter be stopped, and Grant was thus saved to the army. Gen. Cameron said he never met Grant until after Grant hid served temporarily as Secretary of War on the suspension of Stanton. "I disapproved of his position th'ie and told him so. I think he came to Washington with a deep-seated preju­ dice a.ainst me," the G^nernl continued, "tot after h^ became President we became intimate and the closest friends. I don't know what to say concerning him, now that he is dead, except that in life he was the greatest soldier this country ever pro­ duced, one of the, most illustrious civ­ ilians of his time, and that he was modest, kind and truthful. He committed errors bee mse he wa? deceived by bad men, bnt they were exceptions to his record, and on the whole he was a great success--pure in his purposes, hdnest in his impulses, and truthful and sincere in his public and pri­ vate life. If Gen. Grant or his wife wore in distress I would know what to say and how to act, but under present circum­ stances I can only do justice to his memory and my own inclinations by preserving silence. I will write to Mis. Grant to-mor­ row expressing my condolence in her be­ reavement. " Go SLOW, young man.

Miss Rose Elisabeth Cleveland, sister of President Cleveland, and mistress of the White House, is, by virtue of that relation­ ship and position, the first lady of the land. She has, however, a celebrity entirely inde­ pendent of these accident*, one AM to a circumstance never before occurring to any Erson in the world. Her book, "Georgf iot's Essays and Other Studies," went 1* the sixth edition before it was published- an honor hitherto unknown in the history of literature. The seventh edition was in'< saed within a week after the first publica­ tion. Miss Cleveland is the youngest of nine children. She was born'in Fayette- ville, N. Y. She was carefully educated, graduating at Houghton Seminary. Then she became a teacher in that institution; therfPrincipal of Lafayette Collegiate In­ stitution, Indiana, and then taught a private school in Pennsylvania, after which she commenced lecturing before classes. After her mother'8 death, which occurred in 1882, she resided at the old homestead at Holland Patent, which she purchased out of the earnings of her own labor, and continued the work of lecturing until called upon by her brother to assume the duties of mistress of the White House.

I CffiOMIA LYSCHIN& Dragged from Strung Up to a Tree by a Mob. (Bainbridge (Ga.) special.] 9 A spot a few miles from Bainbridge, in Decatur County, was at 4 o'clock this morning the scene of one of the most sen­ sational lynchings ever perpetrated in Georgia. At 2 o'clock fifty or sixty masked men, armed with guns and revolvers, sur­ rounded the jail and demanded the surren­ der of Thomas M. Brantly, Jr., a young white man charged with ill-treating his wife. Jailer Draper refused to deliver tne keys, and the mob brandished crowbars and other instruments available for batteriDg down doors and forcing an entrance. The crowd making a move as if to seize the Sailer and take his keys from him by force, te ran to the rear of the jail-yard and leaped over the fence in an effort to es­ cape. Five of the lynchers headed him off and rushed to seize him, when he threw "the keys into a thicket where they could be found. The mob then battered their way iuto the jail to Brantly's cell, whence they led him to a distant field. He saw that resistance was useless, and was completely cowed. Brantly had an- ticipnted the visit of the mob, and begged the other prisoners to stand by him,' bnt they refused. Arriving at an eligible tree, the lynchers threw a plow line over a limb, put a noose around Brantly's neck, and, every man taking hold of the rope, swung him oft', with his feet within seven inches of the ground. All then leveled their gnns and pistols at their victim and fired three voileys simultaneously, completely per­ forating his body from head to foot. The Corpse hung until 8 o'clock this morning and greatly startled the early lisats who came upon it unawares. '" • V FEARFUL FALLS FROM A BALLOON. The Terrible Experiences ml Two Aero- , nauti in Connecticut. [New Haven (Conn.) special.] £t Win^ted, Conn., a balloon ascension •as made this afternoon by an aeronaut, frof. Brooks, and Frederio Moore, a wealthy manufacturer of the town. The balloon was the largest ever used in the State. It was eighty feet high and 120 feet in circnmference, and was calculated to have a lilting capacity of 1,500 pounds. All went well until the aeronauts had reached an elevation of 2,500 feet. There, although they were above the clouds, tbey were caught in a stoim which proved to be tho heaviest experienced in that part of the State for years. Becoming ter­ rified by the lightning they began to de­ scend and passed through the cloud layers in safety, although the balloon suffered from the heavy rain, and the gas began to escape. When within 100 feet of the ground the machine was rocking violently from side to side. As they fell the two men threw out sandbags, and, losing two ' much ballast, the balloon careened wildly, the gas escaped, and the c.ir was over­ turned. Brooks and Moore lost their hold on the slippery rail and fell headlong from the car. The crowds that had been cheer­ ing wildly a few'moments before stood out in the pouring rain in their eagerness to see the descent and did their best to catch the aeronauts as they fell. Brooks was picked up very badly hurt. He is expected to die. Moore's injuries are not so serious. Both men had had considerable experience in ballooning. ITEMS. . ft'-':'. i-.-- 1 GEN.
