New Yoiik, Aug. 12, 1885.
Every curious visitor to the tomb of
Gen. Grant, and there aro thousands
visit it daily.pass a fow feet northwest
of his sentry guarded sopiilchcr and
grave, with fcolings of tinappeasscd
curiosity at another grave in Riverside,
around which custor many romantic
memories, and half told histories of
other days. For many long years this
llttlo gravo and tombstone havo with
stood tho wrath of storm and wratli of
wintry winds upon tho river exposed
hillside, outliving the surrounding
trees, and even landscape, which has
so materially changed within tho past
century, until now it stands alone, a
THU OLD TOMB.
monument to the bones beneath, and
landmark of the years gone by.
As it stands, tho little tomb, with its
square block of marble, its (plaint in
scriptions, with tho long Lnglmli s. of
olden times in use upon it. Us broken
urn, and timo stained and almost
oflacod letters, it is indeed a curiosity.
On ono side are inscribed the words
"Erected to the memory of an amiable
difld. at. Uialro Pollock, died .July lfi,
1797, In tho fdh vear of his ago," and
on the side facing tho river, in letters
worn and scarcely distinguishable are
these scriptural lines:
"Mini that Is born of woman
Is of few duys ntnl full of trouble.
He coni'-lli up like 11 flower
And Is cut down.
llu llcctctli also as a shadow,
And eontlnuetli not."
So much for the tomb. Who was
its occupant, St. Clairo Pollock, tho
amiable child, who now sleops under
the slanting shadow of the tomb of
Grant. Thoro aro sovoral theories re
garding this waif of the last century.
One is that ho was the illegitimate
son of a gay and festive English No
bleman, wlio nourished at Claro
niont, tho titlo of the properly and
udjolning house, anil that in this way
tho said nobleman desired to show his
rospoct and lovo for his ollspring by
burying him in his own proporty, un
der his cyo, erecting a handsome mon
ument, and discarding consecrated
ground. Another is that he was the
child of a friend who visited tho no
bleman, tho boy dying while thoy
were there. Another that he was the
hlld of narlios living on tho prom-
ises at the time and this is the most
likely story, since George and Cather
ine Pollock lived and owned proporty
ndioInin; Cluromont in the good old
days of that period. Tho Jlcntld has
raked m a so-called relative, an ir
ishman of Hoboken, who claims that
tho boy was his "furst cousin, and tho
byo of a Rolfnst linen dhraper," and
that "his irhrandfather was me
ghrandfather, too."

ntcrcsting figuro in thoso good old
days. Ho was a staunch Royalist and
supporter of Georgo III. before that
sovereign concluded that America and
Washington could get fjong without
his assistance. Lord Courtnoy built
the rambling house on tho hill nt this
point and calfcd it and tho estates
Claremont.
Horo ho lived in stylo overlooking
tno blowing Hudson ami tno growing
city nf Now York and swearing by
Kirnr Gooreo, until about tho war of
1812, when tho country cetting too
warm and tho laws too exacting, he
left his estates, his house, his furni
ture, pictures, etc., and skipped across
tno water with nil tno epecu possiuio
in thoso anto bollum days when sails
and stago coaches took the place of
steam vessels nnd railroads. Tlicro is
a rumor that if Lord Courtney had
not departed, thoro would have been
trouble for him in tho states. How
ovor that may o, ho nover returned
to America and his handsomo homo on
tho Hudson. His trustees sold it and
tho 40 acres surrounding to Mr. Jool
Post in 1821. Previous to this tho
houso is said to havo been kopt as a
road house, where the famous men of
that day, Aaron Hurr, Do Witt, C.

according to his notions. Whether oq
not ho was responsible for the existoncq
of tho waif in the tomb, can mako bull
little diH'cronco now to either since thq
little St. Clairo and the bachelor Lord
have both accounted for themselves
in tho next world and remain but iij
legendary memory in this.
There is one rathor quoor and curious,
feature which has perplexed tho minds
of many siuco tho Lord deserted the
estate, and that is a wooden bust, set
up high on tho bough of an old pmo
tree, the hair white and face red,

treo rotted and fell a short timo sinco.
Then tho curiosity seekers, whon it bo
came known that this was to bo tliu
site of Grant's tomb, began chipping
away the linage, and the park commis
sioners took it in hand and placed it
away for safe keeping. This bust is
supposed to be a representative of
Kinir uooriro in., nut its History is
mixed, and like the little grave, it
girvs no sign.

for J?'-'i,000 from tho Irustoos of Lord
Courtney, about ton years after the
said Lord shook tho dust of America
fiom his feet. The last member ol
tho family who lived hero was Mr.
Edward Post, who wont to Europe in

used as a road house again until tho
city bought the estate, for Riverside

has now been relitted completely nnd

still, and as it is at the end of River

Grant's tomb, he has a fortune in it.

Topics.
Why the Pews are Empty.
It is bovond dispute that, generally
speaking, tho pulpit of tho present
timo is not equal to tno ueniauus oi
truo religious enterprise. Tho ser
mons, as a rule, aro wanting in force,
in interest, and in a propor compre
hension of tho spiritual needs, as well
as the intellectual difficulties, of peo
ple now living on earth. Among all
the thousands of ministers who hold
forth ovory Sunday iu this country,
thoro aro probably not a hundrod who
.ire always sure of a satisfactory
audiouco, or always ablo to bring peo-
plo to church as a pleasure ratner
than a duty. The great majority of
them preach to small congregations,
mainly composed of women and chil
dren and those to whom church going
is a sort of social habit; and the re
sults of their labors at the end of the
year loavo them substantially whoio
they wore twelve months before, if,
indeed, thoy always do as well as that.
It is not tho pcdplo who are to blame
for the fact that so many empty pews
aro to bo found in all our churches.
Thoy would readily and gladly iill all
tho vacant seats if they wore assured
that thoy would hoar entertaining and
profitable sermons. But tho timo has
gono by for expecting people to bo con
tout with commonplace and monoton
ous preaching. They must bo sup
plied with something more ongaging
and inspiring or thoy will stay at
homo, however kindly disposed thoy
may bo toward religion in tho ab
stract, and howovor solieitous to pro
moto religious inllucnces in the world.
Tho pooplo will go to hoar ministers
cheerfully onough and in llattering
crowds, it thoy will mako sure to pro
viilo discourses worth hearing. St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Physical Health.
Physical health is tho solo founda
tion of abiding beauty in women, and
tho duty in cultivating it is a whole
some to'xt to bo elaborated and ex
pounded, oven from tho pulpit. Nev
ertheless it will strike tho avorago
mortal that Rev. John W. Shudder, of
Minneapolis, Minn., places the stand
ard of athlotio capability at slightly
too high a notch when ho says, "A milk
white complexion may bo artistic, but
is also a sign of weak blood. Give
mo tho nut-brown girl who abandon!)
hor sun-bonnet, who can climb a tree
with any boy, who prefers good broad
to chocalato caramels and baked beans
to angel cake. The kind of an angel
for mo weighs 110 pouuds." Tho es
timation in which ho holds baked
beans may Hatter the abnormal sensi
bilities of the Bostonese; but oven
thoy will draw a lino at tree
climbing.

"L'nclo Alfred," who was a slavo ol
