THE NEW YORK RESIDENCE.

The Mansion in Which Gen. Grant Lived Before His Removal to Mount MacGregor. 'The house in which Gen. Grant has of late Sears resided is in the most fashionable part of ew York City. It is near the beautiful mansion of the Vanderbilts and the house that Henry Villard erected, and not far from the new cathedral.

Within rifle-shot are. a score of houses that cost more than $75,000 each to build. It is in Sixty-sixth street, just off Fifth avenue and close by Central Park. The tide of fashion set to that neighborhood ten years ago, and the finest mansions in New York City have been built there since. It is a neat brown-stone-front house of a shade less than the average width of city houses, tour stories high, and with ornamented window casings. A bay window looks out from the parlor floor. The front faces the south, and the view from the rear window cor.mands part of Central Park.
