Ye life of Ulysses 8; Grant, one of
the greatest men Americ: ever produced. His name isso closely interwoven with the events of the Jas

"estate agent, and was then indebted
te relatives for position that would
afford a living for himself and wife,

_ city of his residence. He bad never
interested himself in politics, and
never voted but once. He spent his
Ne otes, “nnd in prmawee hae 4 PP
can war. “He was reluctantly given
‘a position bythe Governor of his
State, at the earnest solicitation of
two of his Galena friends. One year
after, he was a generally recognized
hero, In three years after\he was
in command of a million soldiers,
and was honored with the title of
Lieut, General of the United States,
-and im seven years ho was the general
‘choice of the people for President of
the United States, to which position
he was elected, and which he has
since filled, and which he to-day
will turn over to his successor, His
wame.and his fame are known from
the Occident to the Orient. ° History
will aceord to him the praise he so
justly deserves. While Washington
— will always be known, asthe “Father
of his Country,” Grant will be
. equally entitled to the appellation of
othe “Saviour of his Country.”’ It is
‘true he has not escaped calumny,and
numbers tis enemies by scures, but
that is one of the rewards of greatness.
“No might nor greatness in mortality

The century has not produced a
@reater man, and our Republic has
never developed a character more
truly American. He proved him-.

be has been equally conspicuous,
He is an honor to his Country, and
ages hence his career will be as familiar, and probably more highly
revered than to-day. . His ia ‘one
‘of the few, the immortal names that
were not born to die.”

We learn from Conduetor McKinEddy was insiantly killed in the Rising Sun mine, at Colfax, on Friday
evening, The night shift was just
ready to descend into the mine. The
bucket came up loaded with ore and
was emptied. Eddy got into it for
the purpose of descending, and
another man was in the act of doing
so, when the cable parted and precipitated the deceased down the
shaft to the five handred foot -level,
where he was found, an unrecognizable mass of flesh and bones. One
leg was found at the bottom of the
shaft on the 800 foot level. From
the same source we obtain the
following: John Haffock, who lives
some five miles below Colfax, started
home last Friday evening. Waren
about one mile from that town he
was thrown from his horse and had
his left leg broken just above t
ankle, and lay in the road all night
in the storm. He was found yesterday morning, about 8 o'clock, by a
butcher, and taken to Colfax, where
he now lies in a critical condition,

forearmed sgainst such a dry season. Those fartiers who can get in
