Mrs. Grant Iiub passed u good part of this season at West Point, for which p)aco, owing to muny associations of her life, she seems to have u sjicciul fond ness. If our government over did for its heroes what other nations do fre quently, tut act would bo missed nrovld. ing tt homo for Mrs. Grant on tho old Kinsley property. Ono of tho most beuutitul sites of tho many beautiful ones ubout West Point Is u bluff pro moutory on which stands the original Kinsley house, now in ruins. It is tho boldest point noxt to thut occupied by Cranston's hotel on tho west side of tho river, overlooking a neighborhood 'of magiillleent country palaces aloiit (lar rlsou's, nnd giving it grand view lm(h up and down tho river. Tho Kinsley farm is only utilized for gardens for tho sist, and would havo abundant acreage for that purpose if a handsome llttlo park of tt dozen acres wero sot apart, and a commodious cottage erected for tho residence of the widow of the greatest general of his ago, and twice president of tho United States. Fifty thousand dollars would erect a suitable limine and outbuildings and put the place in per fect order for it delightful residence. Mrs. Grant Is by no means in atlhient circumstances; In fact, but for tho hero ism that enabled her great husband to work, until life had all ebbed away, in the production of his book, her only source of revenue, she would bo practi cally penniless. For tt nation so rich as ours tho trifling sum required to give her a homo that she would more than enjoy, for the few declining years of her life, is a bagatelle, mid would bo begrudged by no citizen; and tho com pliment would bo it graceful one as well as an attestation that republics aro not alwuja ungrateful. I feel confident if Home member of congress would intro duce a bill to carry out this Ideu, it would pass both houses without objec tion, and receive the cordial approval of tho president. Town Topics. A Nittr York llnliutiiiil. New York society is all agog over tho prospective "coining out" of Gertrude Vanderbllt, daughter of Cornelius Vauderbllt.

A toportorsuw a man and three women studying tlto paintings in tho United States collection at, tlio world's fuir tho other day. They wero evidently far from home, or felt as if thoy were. The three women, as tho reporter soon noticed, wero almost always of tho same mind, and stopped to look at tho samo pictures. The man, it was evident, had a differ ent standard of taste. "Como on, cotno on; that's no good!" ho kept saying. Then ho would walk on. Finally ono of the women said: "Now, seo horo, Soth, you just leavo us alone, und do your own lookin.' Wo know whut wo wunt to see botter'n you do." "Wal," he said, "I know how to look at picters, and you don't. I've foun'd out that when I've been ono of the judges at our county fair. Thoro was ono rule wo always went by. Whon it pictor tells its own story it'sgood. Whon you have to look in it book to find out whut it is it ain't good. And you've been looking in that 'ero book to find out what all o' them picters aro. Now you just come on and look at tho picters that toll thoir own story, and you won't wastu any time." "I don't know but jou'ro right, Soth," sale tho woman. Tho quartette started down tho room looking for stories in tlto pictures. My first impulse was to laugh, but tho smile wus drowned in u moisture somewhere near tho eyes. Tho homely speech was full of tho pathos of ignorance. And uflor all, whut urtist would not be glad to know that his brinm had told tho "story,'' with no need of help from a iKXlk? It always does tho ordinary man good to witness an exhibition of simplo demo cratic tiisteB by a man of groat wealth, but I urn informed that tho chief clork in tho Colonies hotel, in Chicugo, litis not yet recovered from tho shock of ordering ton jorums of hot Scotch whisky for Mr. Willio K. Vunderbilt and a party of frlonds on ono of the very cold nights of last week. Tho party ar rived in u couch on tho wuy homo from' tho fair, und It is to bo presumed thut thoy till -tho ludles included- enjoyed tho hot Scotches; though tho hotel keojMjr, I understand, beat his brows in u f ronzy of mortification ut tho sight of a man worth 9200,000,000 treating his friends to so democratic a brand of re freshment. As tho party drove off it was remarked In my hearing by young Mr. liiddlo, of Philadelphia, who happened to bo standing by. that It was worth a Journey all tho way from town to see so stunning a woman as Mrs. Willio K. drive by. That lady handled the ribbons on tho return journey, and there wero no accidents. A select circle of busy Chicago people, who are seldom so .vhuppy us when digesting it toothsome morsel of gossip, Is occupying Its time just now, I hear, in speculating utioti tho exact relation ship of ono of the windy city's most con spicuous millionaires and a tall and ex ceedingly handsome damsel who ac companied his daughter and himself fiom the other side of the water when they last returned front abroad. Tho young lady came, so I am told, as the guest of tho daughter, and for a long while visited at tho millionaire's hand some South Side mansion, His wife, a lady of great sweetness of disposition, but whoso mental condition is not of the strongest, received the visitor most cordially, and made, I understand, no demur whon tho latter commenced, in a most extraordinary way, to assume tho direction of tho alTairs of the household, as though It woro her legal right to do so. So marked did her Inclinations be come in this direction thut the daughter and nleco of tho capitalist ceased to speak to heraltogethor, notwithstanding which she continued to reside in the' hottso with the full sanction and ap proval of Its master. Tho millionaire nil this timo took no pains whatever to conceal his fondness for the damsel's society, the pair being frequently seen at tho theatre and other public places in each other's company. Thoro is also a pretty story illustrative of the rich man's great generosity in le warding his fair friend for the perfor mance of a service. "If," ho is quoted as saying to her somo months after her arrival at the family mansion, "you will get I ," mentioning tho name of his niece, "married on this winter, I'll mnko you it present of 823,000." As tho young lady was married very shortly afterwards it is to bo presumed the handsome reward has long since boon paid. If ut Ural J mi ilon't miceeeil, Try, try iikhIii.
