GENERAL GRANT. Died July 33, 188.1.

The Nation's greatest hero has gone from the battlefield of life to the camp of eternal rest.

The matchless chieftain has l»een placed on the retired list of |M-q)etual peace.

A grateful nation IM>\VS its head in reverence and humble submission, and Imptizes with it« tears the record of his glorious deeds.

His grave is his country's undying love; his monument, built of brave and loyal hearts, stands higher than granite shaft can reach.and more enduring than the rocks of time.

"Let us have Peace"—the angel whis-pered, and silently the spirit of the great chieftain held up its flag of truce, and surrendered—in triumph.

—Bartholdi modeled his statue after his mother, and the Graphic says he made her the size she used to seem to him in his boyhood days, when he went in swimming without her permission.

—Adam had no mother-in-law, no wife to go to the roller rink, no mort-gage on his farm, no insurance agents to bother him. Why did Adam sin?

—Belva Lock wood says that brilliant, brainy women should never get married. Belva has no confidence in the men since the last presidential election.

—Isn't it about time for the bank cashiers of this country to get up a re-monstrance against the annexation of Canada?

—Woman suffrage cannot IK; expected to take very long and rapid strides ahead until it takes off its hoops.

—A young man in Lowell says he drowns his sorrow in his best girl's water waves.

—Lots of men in this world china eggs.

A thorough investigation will be made, and it is very possible that Freeman will be found to l)e the burglar, and if such should be the case it will cause suspicion that he also knows where Benson & Crawford's property I s

Portland now takes the lead on egg stories. One day last week Henry Beebe brought to our sanctum, a hen's egg. which was fully twelve inches long.— Portland Observer.

Now when a man tells an egg story we like to have him tell one that will make a man's hair stand on end. and Bro. Belknap gets there with both feet and one hand. We've been looking for a hen with just such a record as that quoted above, and if we can find a roost-er to match her we will buy them both, quit the newspaper business, start a hen-nery and guarantee 12-inch eggs every time. Portland certainly does take the lead on egg stories, to let the Observer tell thcm.—PeuKimo Plaindealer.

Allen Oscar Newman is a bright lad of 14 years whose parents reside- in Keene. Allen had been spending a few days in Vergennes and on his way home Wednesday the shades of night over-took him and he sought shelter and a night's lodging at Mrs. Negus". In the morning he made a mistake and pick-ed up a pocket book containing twenty cents on the center table—he told them that he guessed he would go down town before starting for home. The theft was soon discovered and the thief was captured on his way to Lowell, He con-fessed taking the pocket book and hand-ed the same over to his captor. He was arraigned before Justice Hunter and pleaded guilty, and Saturday he was taken to the Reform school, there to re-main until 18 years old. This is the same enterprising lad that stole a horse in Fallassburg about a year ago.

The mortal and emotional condition of Congressman Comstock appears to have been very materially improved by his return to Washington. When he came home the last time he used some expressions concerning the course of the Administration which, while they would not have been appropriate in a prayer meeting, were plain, simple and emphat-ic. They left no doubt in the mind of the hearer that the Congressman was filled with a spirit of indignation and a purpose of revenge. Now he is reported as saying, on Saturday, that he thought the President "meant all right. ' ' He hasn't yet reached the point, however, of being reconciled to the appointment of George N, Davis as Revenue Collector. This, he says, was "one big mistake:" still he believes the unsuspecting and in-nocent President was imposed on by bad advisers, not that he intended any disrespect for the Congressman. When asked whether he expected any more appointments soon, he said he would be able to tell better in a few days. This is undoubtedly true.—Telegram,

SOUTHERN MILL OWNERS.

AUUTSTA. Ga.. July 27.—The soul hern mill-owners' convention is rather a fail-ure in points of nninl)ers. The conven-tion organized by calling President Brooker to the chair and President McCoy to act as secretary. It was then resolved that the convention recommend that each mill in the South at its own convenience suspend oiierations for at least thirty days between the first day of August and the first day of November next ensuing. On motion of President Bullock of Atlanta mills the convention adjourned.

WASHINGTON. July 27.—The depart-ure of nearly all the Michigan politicans who have been in Washington, most of whom went home Saturday night, was destined to make Mr. Cleveland and some of the cabinet men quite lonely. Taking pity on them, however, another contingent came in to-day and have been clamoring loudly at the doors of the patronage givers.

I. M. Weston had a talk with Mr. Cleveland this morning and in regard to the fifth district apj)ointments endeavor-ed to undo everything that Comstock fixed up last week. Weston does not talk much about the charges of Com-stock that Dickinson. Weston & Co. are breaking up the Democratic party, but he smiles significantly and predicts that things will come out all right.

OWNED IN CLEVELAND

CLEVELAND. 0 . . J u l y 27 .—Recent ly

there was a strike on the Payne avenue street railroad and police had to l)e called to disperse the turbulent con-ductors and drivers. Yesterday eighty-seven of the company's horses wrtv poisoned with croton oil. Three have died and the remainder are in a terrible condition. No arrests have been made but the police are investigating the case and the inhuman wretches will no doubt be apprehended.

WASHINGTON, July 28.—Congressman Comstock is still here, watching closely the course of events. He will be sim-ply wild if his .recommendations are not carried out, and if Weston had much success in his visit today they are not likely to IK*. Weston and Blacker s*y they are going home tonight, but Com-stock gives no signs of going for several days to come. There is unofficial in-formation from the white house that all the Western Michigan appointments will be made in a batch before the Pres-ident leaves town next week.

GRANT'S RESTING PLACE.

PHILADELPHIA, July 27.—The uprising all over the country which has been caused by the selection of Central park as the resting place of Gen. Grant finds considerable vent in this city, where re-sides the dead hero's most intimate friend. Mr. George W. Childs. who is constantly in receipt of lettirs and tele-grams from public a n d private citizens who recognize the impropriety of the course proposed and the fitness of some national site as the place of sepulclire.

THE REMAINS.

The preservation of Gen. Grant's re-mains during the heated term for a i)er-iod of ten days is a matter of no little importance. Two days were occupied in the thorough embalming of the re-mains, the cavities and arteries being supplied with embalming fluid, which displaced the blood as it was introduced.

MRS. GRANT.

MT. MCGREUOR, N . Y . , J u l y 27.—Re-

ports which have been sent out in regard to the condition of Mrs. Grant are un-duly alarm, ig. She expects to accom-pany the remains to Albany, and no reason is known to the family why sho should notdoso.

ANOTHER SITE SELECTED. ~ .

MT. MCGREGOR, July 28.—Mrs. Grant has decided to accept Riverside Park instead of Central Park as the burial place of General Grant.

COMSTOCK HIT ON THE NOSE AGAIN.

TO OUR AGENTS -AND-

T H E P U B L I C . New York, July 1st, 188.').

in response to numerous inquiries from all sections of thd country m regard to the Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, we would say: The work will be issued in two volumes to be published separately, about the first days of December and March next, respectively.

It will be sold exclusively by subscription and will not be found a t the book-stores after the active canvass has ceased, as Is the case with many subscription books. Extraordinary precaution is being taken to keep this book out of the book-trade. Private marks are placed in each copy, and any agent detected in supplying the tirst volume to the book stores will be at onco discharged, and prosecuted under his contract: and the second volume will be delivered to the bona-fide subscribers

j r , . « pw.nv** \jk m a p i u n u i , u y rcuuuin^ v n e u n c t J and discouraging our agents. This is simply mischievous and intended to embar-rass our agents and the subscription trade. In the end it can result in no profit to them. Other scheming publishers are advertising works whoso titles are so ingeni. ously arranged as to resemble General Grant's Memoirs,purposely withholding the author s name, and in various ways imitating that work with the evident intention of deceiving the public and inducing them to purchase a book that they do not want—a work with which General Grant has had nothing to do, and from which he derives no l)enefit whatever, and which works have little more value than the paper upon which they are printed. Such unpriDclpled publishers and dealers de-serve the execration of their countrymen. They seek to snatch the budding frui t of hard-earned toil from the man, who, above all living men, has done so much for bis countrymen, and who has worked so long and patiently, under trying circum-stances. in a last effort to supply a competence in his declining days, lor himself and family—the only legacy he has to leaye them, except his name, which belongs to his country. 0

If, by any chance a few copies of the first volume appear in the trade, the agent selling them will at once be detected and prosecuted, and people buying that vol-ume will not be able to get the second volume.

Our agents will not fill orders for the second volume except to those who sub-scribe for the first We have decided to manufacture only sufficient copies to sup-ply the orders of our subscribers, as our agents report them from time to time. In view of this, we hope every one who desires the work will aubsciibe early.

Justice to both General Grant and ourselves demands this course, as the profits must not be reduced by a large stock of unsold volumes.

No one is authorized to take orders except our regularly appointed agents, who are all supplied with sample books and certificates of appointment, and dealers who advertise this work will sadly disappoint their customers, especially in the delivery of the second volume.

Wo .say to all who wish the complete work promptly on the issue of the respec-tive volumes, that the only way to obtain it is to subscribe with one of our author-ized agents.

And by so subscribing, we assure the public that General Grant himself receives the full return for his labor, as his remuneration is on a BASIS OF THE PROFITS on the book, and his share comprises THE GREAT BULK OF THE PROFITS.

We make this statement that the public may not lie deceived, and with the feeling that the General's countrymen wish to place their subscriptions where thev will know that he is receiving the full benefit of them.

Yours respectfully,

CHAS. L. WEBSTER & CO.

The above explains itself. Mr. C. C. Stickney, representing the H. G. Allen Pub-iLshmg Co., Grand Rapids, will soon solicit subscriptions in Lowell and vicinity for the above named w o r k - a work for which there is to-dav a greater demand than any other volume or set of volumes published. '

A MAN who appeared in the insane court at Chicago recently had his men-tal malady at t r ibuted directly to the

A MARVELOUS STORY 1010 IS TWO LETTERS.

FROM THE SON : "QentUmm: My father resides at Glover,

Vt He his been a great lofferer from Serof-nla, and the Inoloaed letter will tell you what a marrelons effect

Ayer's Sarsaparilla b u had In hli cue. I think his bloo<l must have contained the humor for at least ten vean: bnt It did not show, except In the form of aioiofaloni sore on the wrist, nntll aboal .flre yean ago. From a few spots which ap-peared at that time, It gradually spread so aa to eorerbls enUre body. I assnre yon he was terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, whsn he began nilngyonr medicine. Now, there are few men of his age who enjoy as good bealtti as he has. I could easily name fifty persona who would testify to the facta in his cue.

Yours truly, W. M. pHILUra,"

FROM THE FATHER: a duty for me to state to yon the benefit I have derired from the use of

A y e r ' s S a r s a p a r i l l a .

Six months a^o I was completely corored with a terrible humor and aerofukras sores. The humor caused an incessant and Intolerable Itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause the blood to flow In many places whenever I moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. I commenced the nse of the SABBIPARIIXA in April last, and hare used it regularly since that time. My eondlUon began to improve at onoe. The sores have all healed, and 1 feel perfectly well in every reipect—being now able to do a good day's work, although 7S years of age. Many inquire what h u wrought such a cure in my case, and I tell them, u I have here tried to tell you, A n a ' s SABSIPABILLA. Glover, V t , Oct. 21,1883. Yours gratefully,

DR.ATII o r OENKRAL OLIANT.

MOUNT MACOREOOII, X. Y., J u l y 23.—

General Grant died shortly before eight o'clock this morning,

Tho end Imd been exitected throiiKliout tho night, but ever since 4:H0 o'clock, at which hour Dr. Douglas remarked that the General's brain, heart and lungs were alive, and tiiat was about ail he could say, the certainty of death's approach pressed more c!(JseIy than at any previous time upon tho family and attendants. At 5:25 a. m. the respi-ration had increased to 00 and the death-rattle occasioned by tho filling of the lungs and throat with mucus was plainly heard by tho loving nnd devoted ones at his bed-side. Ho then recognized his friends by opening his eyes.

IN THE HANDS OK TIIE UNUEIITAKEIL

A special engine that has been kept con-stantly on a side track at Mount Mac-Gregor was at once dispatched to Saratoga for Undertaker Holmes, who will have charge of tlie body until the oinbahuor ar-rives from New York. The autopsy will bo made to-day (Thursday), and the family will return to New York Friday. It is tho Intention to have private services at the residence in Sixty-sixth street, after which the body will bo turned over to those who will have charge of the final rites and In terment

THE CLOSING IIOCLLS.

MOUNT MAcGi tEoe i t , N . Y., J u l y 23, l

a. m.—General Grant remains in the same quiet condition as at midnight. Pulse and respiration arc unchanged, and there is a feeling that he may tide over tho midnight season of weakness and until four a. m. Hyperdermics of brandy are being used.

3 a. m.—General Grant is in a somnolent condition. Tho respirations have grown shallow, and the General is no longer able to oxpeotorato because of weakness, which is increasing. There seems little possibil-ity that the patient will survive the night.

4:30 a. in.—Dr. Douglas has just come from tho cottage, in reply to a question, he said: General Grant is just alive, and is liable to pass away at any moment."

EAUUEU DISL'ATCIIES.

MOUNT JLvrGiiKOeii, N. Y., July 23.— Shortly after three o'clock yesterday morn-ing Dr. Douglas arose and administered food, and afterwards cleansed the General's throat. As the physician laid aside his ap-pliances, General (irant leaned forward in his chair and sigultied a desire that a lamp should be brought Tho nurse fetched a lamp nnd held it at tho sick man's shoulder, nnd at the moment the General turned his face toward tho light and upward to bid the nurse bring his pad mid pencil; his wish was not at tlie Instant understood, nnd, turn-ing a trillo further, tho General repeated his wish. He wrote brielly a pri-vate communication for tho family. At live o'clock Dr. Douglns was aroused to send a summons for Dr. Sands. Tho Gen-eral moved restlessly, and his eyes for a few moments gazed intently away through the trees. Then ho settled down In his chair and: dozed. Tho message to Dr. Sands was sent only that thelresponslblllty of tho case at the close of tho night should bo shared by tho members of the medical staff, aud not with tho thought that nry aid could be rendered by any person at that time, or through the opening day. Tho General was given stimulants, but ho grew weaker hour by hour.

All visitors kept from the cottage and a Sabbath-day quiet prevailed about the spot. Dr. Douglas and Rev. Dr. Kuwnian wero with the family, and the day was one of quiet and waiting.

Tho patient once during the morning at-tempted to write, but succeeded only In writing the date, tho effort being greater than warranted by tho littlo remaining strength. He had spoken at Intervals, but his voice was very feeble. During tho fore-noon food was taken and retained.

Dr. Sands and Dr. Shrady at 3:30 p. nt"ar-rived by a special train, which also brought U. S. Grant, Jr., and his wife. The new-comers repaired at once to tho cottage. Tho physicians mot at onco with Dr. Doug-Ins In consul i.ation. Having left tho cottage, it was stated that DrsJ Shrady and Sands had found General Grant In tho critical condition already stated by Dr. Douglas aud already announced In these dispatches. No one of the staff Is willing to mako any predictions Iwyond twenty-four hours, which period It is deemed possible tho Gen-eral may survive, though tho probnbllltles as now indicated are that u less space of timo marks the limit of the General's life.

During the afternoon tho members of tho family and Dr. Newman were grouped in the darkened room near General Grant. Ubsorvlng their evidences of feeling, tho General said: "1 do not want anybody to be distressed on my account."

The family, beginning nt six o'clock, came to tho hotel to pinner In twos, tho others remaining at tho cottage iu tho mean-time. Tho family ulued In a private room set part for their use at tho hotel, in order that at this critical time they might bo secluded from the curious observation of tho many visitors and guesU, with whom tho General's condition from hour to hour had been the topic of the day. The closed and silent cottage had all da j suggested mutely the enactment of tho Insl sceuo in General Grnnt's enrlhly existence.

and upon guosts and visitors there had .settled n sense of tho nearness of death.

At seven o'clock, as tho three physicians were at dinnor, Harrison came to the hotel and called Dr. Douglas, who wont at onco and alono to the cottngo Soon afterward another messenger from tho cottage sum-moned Dr. Shrady and Sands, and they re-paired to tho cottage, closely followed by Dr. Newman. Tho exits ot the doctors and clergyman from tho hotel were, however, so quietly effected that few knew that they had been summoned. Arrived there, thoy found tho General evidently sinking. He seemed restless. "Would you like to Ho down, father?" askod Colonel Fred <!raiit. The General nodded, nnd at the same moiucnt essayed to rise unasslHted, but the effort was too great and ho sank back into the chair. Tho Coloiifl nnd nurse aided him to arise and then supported him to the bed, where he wai carefully lowered to a reclining po-sition and partly on hid face. Dr. Douglas then rolled tho chair back, and one of tho physicians has since remarked that tho Genernl had left his chair for tho last time.

Tho family were all gathered at tho sldo of tho sick man, and again Dr. Newman, at about the same hour as Tuesday night, and nt Mrs. Grnnt's request, knelt besido the (icneral nnd prayed. Heads were bowed and silent tears were on the cheeks of men as well as women. After an hour death seemed a lit-tlo less rapidly gaining on the man It has pursued jnst nine months, for It is just (nlne months ngo yesterday that General (irant walked Into Dr. Douglas' ofllce to seek his professional aid for tho cancer that has done what foes and war could not. Then the doctors and clergymen strolled out upon tho piazza and sat near tho parlor window, and Jesse Grant joined them at times, but the other members of tho fnmliy remained In tho sick-room nnd watched nnd waited while tho Gonerul answered "yes" and "no" to sev-eral questions. Time passed slowly In-deed, and at length, at 8:15 o'clock, l)r, Douglas left tho cottage.

"How Is It, doctor'.'" was asked him. " Ho Is dying," said tho gray-haired phy-

sician. "Will ho live an hour?" was asked again. "Oh, yes, nnd possibly more, but he Is

pnsslng nway," was the response, and after a little time at tho hotel Dr. Douglas ro-turned to the cottagc.

At nine o'clock the General's pulse wiu up to tho point of 105 beats to the minute, aud was fluttering.

About nine o'clock General Grant sank Into sleep that was described by witnesses as tho peaceful and beautiful slumber of a child. This condition, however, was not one. to command conildence, for tho pulsc-beats wero still rapidly fluttering, aud the respiration, which normally is fourteen to tho minute, was forty-four. At 10:30 o'clock It was stated by reliable authority that tho General was In a slightly better condition than two hours ago and quieter, but as against any hopeful Inference that might be drawn from this fact wns tho other fact that from his con-dition, which borders upon a lethnr-glo state, the patient would quietly dritt Into final unconsciousness. During the evening tho extremities of the sick man were cold. Tho General, as the night passed, seemed suffering no pain, Uioimh tho lines of his face were drawn and the furrows of tho brow wero knitted ns ho lay upon the cot beside whHi the family are constantly watching.

At eleven o'clock tho General wa» not asleep. The hands and foiearms were colder than two hours before, but the feel not so much so. Tho pulse and respiration had not changed. The patient's mind was yet clear and comprehensive of events and utterances about him. Between ten and eleven o'clock Dr. Shrady accosted the Gen-eral, and he answered In a husky voice and promptly. StlmulanN wore being used but sparingly, and the fear was oxpressed by medical authority about eleven o'clock that tho closing crisis would occm either at one or four o'clock in tho morning. At midnight bottles of hot wafer were placed at the General's feet to induce warmth, nnd mustard draughts were applied upon the stomach and breast to preserve thf flagging circulation.

At midnight tho General was awake, though quiet.

ULYSSES SIMPSON GRANT.

In the.^e days no well-bred person shows surprise when any one refuses wine. It is only the vulgar and unrefin-ed who signilicantly lift their eyebrows or make sneering remarks hecause a comrade shows his temperance princi-ples. Perhaps ibis has always been true. At any rale, the following, clipped f iom The Little Christian, shows that V.'ash-ington was as gentlemanly as he wa.

great. Towards the close of the Hevoluliouary

War an officer in the army had occasion to transact some business with General Washington, and repaired to Philadel-phia for that purpose. Before leaving he received an invitation to dine with the General, and accepting, found him-self in company with many distinguished

guests, among whom he preserved a modest demeanor, taking but little part in the conversation. Before the close of the dinner. General Washington, calling

him by name, requested him to drink a

glass of wine with him. ••Will you have the goodness to excuse

me. General:" replied the officer. "1 have made it a rule never to drink wine."

All eyes were instantly upon the young officer, with surprise and indignation— mayhap a few with approval. That a person should be so unsocial and so mean as to never drink wine was too had; but that he should abstain from it on an oc-casion like that. and when offered to him by Washington himself, was Intol-

erable. Washington at once saw the feeling of

his guests, and promptly addressed I hem: "Gentlemen." said he, "our friend is right: 1 do not wish any of my guests to partake of any thing against their incli-nations; and 1 certainly do not wish them to violate any established principle in social intercourse with me. I honor my friend for his frankness, for his consis-tency in thus adhering l o a n istablished

rule which could never do any of us harm if we adopted it."

This is perfectly natural. All experience teaches that men must practically re-form their lives before they can feel an interest in the principles of right con-

County Board of Examiners, accompan-iad by Prof. Fletcher of Grand Rapids, made Chas. (J. Johnson, chairman of township schoolboard, a call to inquire into the progress and standing of tho schools in the townships. Wo learn that Mr. Chapman's term of office, as member of the County Board, expires Aug. 4th and as he is again a candiate, we would say for the interest of the schools throughout the county, that ho should have the hearty support of the respective ehairmen for his re-election. Judging from his efticiency as an instructor, the experience as an examiner, and the general satisfactory expression of teach-ers and senool officials, Mr. Chapman should be second to no one for that position.

MR. C. P. BnicnKTt writes from Kirby, O.. July 3,1882 : " Last fal l my hair commenced falling ont , and in a short t ime I became nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of AVER'S HAIR VIGOR, which stopped the fall-ing of the hMr, and started a new growth. I hare now a full head of hair growing yigor-ously, and am convinced that but for the use of your preparation I should hare been entirely bald."

Its u»u promotes the growth of new hair, aud makes it glossy and soft . Tho VIGOR is also a sure euro for dandruff.

MRS. O. A. PRESCOTT, writing from 18 Elm St., Charletloion, Mass., April 14, 1882, says : • 'Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came off. I t thinned very rapidly, and I uaa fast growing bald. On using AYER'S HAIR VIGOR tho falling stopped and a new growth commenccd, and In about a mouth my bead was completely covered with short hair.

Lowell a t Gnn L a k e .

If yon want to en joy a week's vacation

go to Gnn Lake. Take the G. R. & 1. railroad a t Grand Rapids, go south about 2.r» miles to Shelhyville and there stop.

Before s tar t ing send word to Mr. Doxie. Shelhyville, Allegan (V). Mich, to IK* ready on your arr ival there to take you

to the Lake. He is the man to respond promptly and wi th hip sleek, fat horses nnd easy riding wagon lie will take you

out to Gun Lake—six miles east of Shelhyville—in good time. If you have a large par ty and heaps of baggage lie will have more t eams a t the depot and away you will go over a good road and

through a nice section of count ry unt i l

you reach the corduroy road near the lake. If you feel like walking, then is the t ime to walk . If your dinner needs

"set t l ing" remain in tho wagon and ride. There are four c lub houses at Gun

Lake—the Plainwell, t he Kalamazoo, the

Hast ings and the W a y l a n d . Make ar-rangements a few days in advance t o

have one of these Club houses reserv-ed for your par ty . Take with you some

provisions and a good cook; also bed covers, toilet articles, hammocks, fishing

tackle, etc. Don ' t wear your best

clothes. The Lowell pa r ty (number ing 1ft) t h a t

went there last week occupied the Plain-

well club house. This is t he best house there and located on a del ightful , gent le

elevation close by the Lake. Mr. and Mrs. J . W . Hicks, of Plainwell , joined

the Lowell par ty there , Mr. H. being

one of the s tockowners of the property. G u n Lake is noted for its beaut i ful

location, its fine shores and groves i t s

pleasant points and promontories, its excellent fish, and m a n y other th ings too

numerous to speak of. I t is c laimed t ha t one mus t go 75 miles to follow the shore's edge a round the lake. W e didn ' t

prove i t by t aku ig the t r ip. Whi le it is one cont inuous lake it looks more like

a chain of lakes a n d has the appearance of being divided by strips of land in

m a n y places. As we said before the Lowell eparty

put up a t the Plainwell c lub house. I t

was a pret ty large par ty for a small house

bnt nevertheless the accommodat ions were sufficient. The ladies occupied the

Jul iet or second story of the house whi le

the gentlemen took the Romeo rooms be-low. The exceeding quiet t ha t reigned

there the first n ight the pa r ty lodged in tha t house is wor thy of mention. W e actually (don't) believe the only reason

why it d idn ' t t hunde r tha t night was be-cause nobody could have heard it. This

seems to be about the only objection to j taking ladies a long on such a trip—they

make such a racket tha t the men can ' t sleep, and there were some men in tha t

par ty who really love to sleep. The lake is well equipped with l)oat«

and the Lowell pa r ty went well equip-

ped for fishing. And they had good luck. They caught over a barrel of fish

the first t ime they went out, yes, over two barrels. A double barrel shot gun wouldn' t have held 'em. Seriously,

now, dear reader, the Lowell par ty did catch a fine lot of fish and enjoyed the

sport hugely. They caught more every day than they could use and were oblig-ed to throw away enough to feed a large

number of families. Bass weighing f rom

l i to 3i lbs. were hauled out only to be

buried wi thout a stone to mark their last resting place. Ba^s weighing f rom

5 to 7 lbs were not hauled out jus t be-cause we had no use for them and it

would have been cruel to have separated them from their families. Bass, perch, blue-gills and sunfish are plentiful in the

waters of Gun Lake and it is rare sport to feed them minnows with a hook. It is more f u n to feed them with a hook

than wi th a spoon, or knife and fork . The best bait, however, f o r large bass is a nice little f rog. Still, some of the liest

fish were caugh t wi t j i worms—pure un-adul terated angle worms. You can

catch fish with almost any kind of bait if you get on the r igh t side of t hem. If

you w a n t to know any th ing aliout fish-ing ask any one of tho par ty of Isaac Wal tons tha t w e n t f rom Lowell to G u n Lake last week. Instead of ge t t ing out

a book of instructions on how to ca tch fish they have decided to peddle out the information orally to those who desire it

W e haven' t spoken of the lovely groves

around Gun Lake. They are there and in warm weather those lovely groves

and the lake afford comfort nnd pleasure enough for the most fastidious bloated bondholder. Occasionally a snake shows

up his agile f o r m but when we stop to reflect tha t there was a blamed s ight bigger snake in the garden of Eden than

any we saw there w e walk r ight on wi th our vests pulled down and our hear ts

jus t t humping wi th joy. W h a t was the bill of fare? Well , now

it was a good one. The house was daily supplied with the best t he marke t s af forded, by Mr. Mattison,n genial, whole

souled fellow whose home is within h i l f mile f rom the Plainwell honse,

To h im and to Mr. Lamoreaux and Mr,

Eag land , residents there, the Lowell party are under obligations for kind fa-

vors shown them. They all agreed tha t

our par ly had caught the biggest and

best lot of fish t ha t had been hauled out of that lake by any par ty this season and they are going to stick to it if it kills them. W e had tha t fi xed before w e lef t .

Oh, t ha t bill of fare: Vegetables of

all kinds, meats of all kinds, all kinds of fish, all kinds of mustard , all kinds of

pie, pickles, cake and pudding, all kinds of salt, sugar and pepper,all kinds of tea and coffee, all kinds of huckleberries and black raspberries, all kinds of bread and butter, all kinds of honey, all kinds

of eggs exoopt bad ones, all kinds of chicken, all kinds of crackers and all kinds of victuals of all kinds. Think we

went there to emaciate? Tlie par ty consisted of a banker and

his wife, f rom Plainwell , a lawyer and wife, three merchants nnd their wives and three children, an ex-merchant and

wife, a lumberman and wife, a bank cashier, an editor, wife and child, and a

good cook, f r o m I»wel l . A portion of the par ty re turned home

Saturday night ; the ma jo r portion re-

maining there over Sunday and re turn-ing on Monday. I t was a del ightful outing and is likely to be repeated next

summer ,noth ing preventing. Gun Lake is a pleasant resort. Good fishing, good boating, good people, good t r e a t m e n t -good bye. Yes, t hank you. we'll come

again.

How a fjlttlA <(aaker ttahoolma'am Helped Him to >Vln WincheMter.

(Washington Cor. Inter Ocean.] I saw by the Philadelphia papers the other

day that the Grand Army posts in that city had given a reception to Mrs. I t M. Bonsai nud happening to walk down the street with Gou. Sheridan, 1 asked him if he know her.

"Do I know herl" he replied with a sur-pi-ined look on Lis face. "I should say I did That woman was worth a whole brigade of joldicrs and saveral batteries of artillery down in tho Winohcster campaign, and she was ouo of the genuine heroines of the war."

"Tell me about her?" "Well, you BOO I alwoys believed in fight-

ing on information. People said I was reck loss and daring, and all that, and when I happened to win a fight thoy said it was Sheridan's luck. But I tell you there wasn't any luck about i t 1 never went it blind. 1 always knew what I was going to hit before I made a strike, and genenUly tried to strike at the right time."

"Anil down there in fM," continued the general, "when 1 lay before Winchester I wanted information of what was going on in the enemny'd lines, and I wanted it awful bad. I must havo It, don't you see, but how I was going to get it I didn't know. Crook was pretty well acquainted In all that coun-try, and one day I asked him if ho didn't know some one in Winchester we could de-pend on. Ho said there was a little Quakei jirl in the town that he thought was all right, and I concluded to try her. There war an old darkey who had a garden patch about fifteen miles from my headquarters, and he had a pass to go Into Winchester three i.r four times a week with vegetables for the Confederate officers and townspeople. I had him brought to my headquarters oue night and asked bim If be knew the schoolma'am. He said he did, and then I asked him if he could get a note to ber without giving her nway. He said he could, and then I wrote her a letter on tissue paper, appealing to ber loyalty and requesting her to give mo somo Information of what was going on In tho rebel camp. I wrapped the note up in the foil, in a little wad, don't you know, and made the old darky carry it In his mouth. The next day he went Into town with a load of vegetables and gave It to her."
