OLD TIME CONDOLENCE.

To the President of the U. S.
The Senate of the United States
respectfully take leave. Sir, to ex
press to yo"u their deep regret for the
loss their country has eustained in
the death of General George Wash
ington. This event, so distressing to
all our citizens, must be particularly
heavy U you, who have long been
associated with him in deeds of pa
triotism. Permit us, Sir, to mingle
our tears with yours ; on this occa
sion it is merely to weep. To lose
6uch a niau at euch a crisis, is no
common calamity to the world ; our
country mourns her Father. The
Almighty Disposer of human events
has taken from us our greatest Ben-,
efactorand ornament. It becomes:
us to submit with reverence to Him
"who maketh darkness His Pa
villion." With patriotic pride we review
the life of our Washington, and com
pare him with those of other coun
tries who have been pre-eminent in
fame. Ancient and modern names
are diminished before him. Great
ness and guilt have too often been
allied, but his fame is whiter than it
is brilliant. The destroyer oi na
tions stood abashed at the majesty
of his virtue. It rer-roved the tem
perance of their ambition, and dark
ened the splendor of victory. The
ecenes closed, and we are no longer
anxious lest misfortune should sully
his glory ; he has traveled on to the
end of his journey, and carried with
iiim an increasing weight Honor :
lie has deposited it safely where
misfortune can not tarnish it where
malice cannot blast it. Favored of
Heaven, be departed without exhib
iting the weakness of humanity ;
magnanimous in death, the dark
ness of the grave could not obscure
his brightness. Such was the rmn
whom we deplore. Thanks to God,
his glory is consummated.
Washington yet liv-s on earth in
his spotless example his spirit is in
Heaven. Let his countrymen con-
Rpcntte the ruemorv f the heroic
General, the patriotic statesman, and
the virtuous sage ; let them teach
their children never to forget that
the fruits of his labor, and his ex
ample, are their inheritance.
I'KESIPKNT's ANswnt.
I received with the most respect
ful and affectionate sentiments in
this impressive address, the obliging
expression of your regret for the loss
our Country has sustained in the
death of ht-r most esteemed, belov
ed and admired Citizen.
In the multitude of my thoughts
and recollections on this melancholy
event, you will permit nie only to
say, that I have seen him in the
days of Adversity, in some of the
scenes of his deepest and most try-
inir perplexities. I have also at
tended him in his highest elevation
and most prosperous tHicitv, with
uniform aumiration of his wisdom,
moderation and constancy. Among
all our original associates in tne
memorable Leaugeofthe Continent
in 1774, which hrst expressed the
sovereign will of a tree at'on in
America, he was the only one re
maining in the General Govern'
nient Although with a constitu
tion more enfeebled than his, at an
age when he thought it necessary to
prepare for retirement, I feel myself
alone bereaved of my last brother ;
yet I derive strong consolation from
the unanimous disposition which
appears in all ages and classes, to
mingle their sorrows with yiine, on
this common calamity to the world.
The life of our Washington cannot
euffer by a comparison with those
of other countries who have bet-si
most celebrated and exalted by
Fame, The attributes and decora
tions of lioyalty could only have
served toeclipsethe majesty ofthose
virtues, which made him from being
a modest citizen, a more resplendent
luminary. Misfortune, hereafter,
had he lived, could have sul
lied his glory only with those
superficial minds who, believing
that character and action are marl
ed by success alone, rarely deserves
to enjoy it- Mutu-e could never Maf
hi honor, and envy made him a sin
gular exception to the universal
rule For himself he had lived
enough, to life and to glory. For h is
fellow-citizens, if their prayers could
have been answered, he would have
leen immortal. For me his depart
ure is at a most unfortunate mo
ment. Trusting, however, in the
wise and righteous dominion of
Providence over passions of m n,
and the result of their councils aci
actions, as well as over their lives,
nothing remains for me but hi mbi.e

The Burial Serrlce.
Everything waa now ready for the
hnrial service. The cedar case rested
nn snnnnrts at the door of the eepul
cher. The casket was deposited
therein. Meade Post, yo. 1, of Phil
adelphia, represented by fifteen men,
circled the casket. The commander
took bis Post at the head of the cas
ket, with officers and Post comman
ders in the rear ; the chaplain Btood
at the foot and the colors were plac
ed upon it The following ritual
eervice was then performed :
Poet Commander Alexander Reed;
Assembled to pay the last sad tribute
of respect to our late commander
and illustrious comrade, U.S. Grant;
let us unite in prayer. The chap
lain will invoke. Divine blessing.
Pott Chaplain C. Irvine Wright.
God of Battles! Father of all! Amidst
this mournful assemblage we seek
Thee with whom there is no death.
Open every eye to behold Him who
changes the" night of death into
morning. In the depths of our
hearts we would hear the celestial
word : "I am the Resurrection and
Life ; he that believeth in me.though
hn were dead, vet shall he live." As
comrade after comrade departs, and
we march on with ranks broken,
help us to be faithful unto-Thee and
to each other. We beseech Thee,
look in mercy on the widowB and
children of deceased comrades, and
with Thine own tenderness console
and comfurt those bereaved by this
event, which calls us here. Give
them the "oil of jov for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit
of heaviness." Heavenly rather,
bless and save our country with the j
freedom and peace of righteousness j
and through Thy great mercy, a Sav- !

favor, mav we all meet at last in joy j
lefore Tli'v throne in heaven, and to
thv great name thall be praise forev-

Amen, joined in all the Posts. A
dirge was played, alter whicu the
service continued, thus :
Iet fummAtidr Alexander Reed:
One by one, as the years roll on, we
are called together to fulfill the last
sad rites of respect to our comrades
of the war. The present, full of the
cares and pleasures of civil life, fades j
away and we look back to the time ;
rVif.n. khnniilrr to phoulder.on manv
battlefields or around the guns of our j
men-of-war, we fought for our dear
old flag. We may indulge the hope
that the spirit with which, on land
and t-ea, hardships, privation and
danger were encountered by our
dead heroes, may never be blotted
out from the history or memory of
the generations to come a spirit un
complaining, obedient to the behest
of duty, whereby to-day our national
honor is secure and our loved ones
re.-t in peace under the protect ion of
the dear old flag. May the illustri
ous life of Mm whom we lay in the
tomb to-day prove a glorious incen
tive to the youth who. in ages to
come, may be called upon to uphold
the ue:-tiiiy of our country. As the
years roll on we, too, shall have
fought our battles through and be
laid at rest, our souls following the
long column to the realms above, as
grim death Lour by hour shall, mark
its victims. Let us so live that
when that lime shall come those we
leave behind may say above our
graves : "Ileie lies the body of a true
hearted, brave and earnest defender
of the Republic."
Senior Vice Commander Lewis

rades of the war.

Rev. J. W. Savers, chaplain-in-chief
of the Department of Pennsyl

delivered an address, after which
Rev. H.Clay Trumbull offered pray
er. The bugle call " Rest was then
sounded. Dr. Newman and Bishop
Harris then read the ritual service
for burial of the Methodist Episco
pal Church.
And during these services the fam
ily, as named, stood at the loot of
the casket. Mrs. Grant was not
there. Directly behit.d the luneral
party stood Gen. Hancock. At his

A War Picnic.
While Longstreet was in front of
Suffolk, writes iSed liuntline, peek
ing at us with Wright's batteries, in
stead of coming in and "wiping us
out," as he could have done before
we were reinforced, a report came
in that be was massing a heavy force
to the southeast of our lines, our
weakest point of defense. To learn
the true State of things at that point
I was sent out with a small scout
ing party by way of the Shingle
company's canal into Lake Drum
mond, to scout from thence south
of the Dismal Swamp.
Going in tkiffe, we reached a land
ing on tolerably solid ground, and
camped for the night on a little
knoll in a dense thicket of scrub
pine a half mile or thereabout from
the point of landing. Of course, I
had sentinels well out from our biv
ouac, for we knew from many noises
that the enemy waB not far from us.
All went well through the night, and
o ifin w made some coffee and
cooked some venison that I bad got
from old Duke up at the canai
we came bv his place on the pre
vious afternoon. The sentinels were
called in to breakfast, for there ap-
nPBTwl to be no immediate danger,
We had just squatted to our coffee
and grist when a souna etruca our
ears which maae every mau m m
lence spring to his feet and grasp
his Sharp's carbine.
It was the heavy tread of men. e
had just got our arms in hand when
a dozen men in rebel gray, lead by
lieutenant over six feet tall and
lean as a nail, broke ngn. tnrougo
tLe bush in front of us.
In a second, while both parties
etood at a ready, the lieutenant cried
out: ,
"Hold on, Yanks. If 'una won t
shoot, we'uns'U hold fire. That cof-
fee smells mighty good we uns
haven t bad none ior a year. o vc
;lots of tobacco, though
Tf roii'II stack vour arms out
there and trust to us, you shall
Bhnr in cofl'ee and crub. and then
be free to go back and fight it out if
you want to." . ,
' Good as sweet corn. We uns
are hungry, you bet !"
They at once stacked arms, and
we did the same, and while our cook
nnt. more coffee and more steak on
the fire, we sat there on the ground,
the blue and the gray, and talked as
if we were old friends. Not about
the war and its causes, but about
camp life and other things.
And the way our coffee went
down, with hard tack and juicy
venison steak, would have satisfied
the proudest landlord that ever brag
ged of his table.
Afar we had filled up, the Vir
ginians brought out their tobacco
and did their share of treating. The
lieutenant had a huge canteen of old
brand v. and that went the
rounds.
After we had cot so frienly I ask
ed the lieutenant how he came to be
ic on that point. He replied :
UI was Kent to watch lest uos
came this way in force to take us on
the flank. Our main force is mass
ed in front, where our batteries are
readv to go in if 'uns weaken, and
the old man (Longstreet) was afear
ed you might come through the
swamp and tickle us in the rear.
What are 'uns doing here?"
"Just on a hunt lor fresh meat ;
got this deer last night."
"Well, the best 'o luck to you.
You don't feel much like fighting
now, do you?"
"Not if you boys don't It would
be a pity to spoil this picnic that
way."
So we all shook hands, traded cof
fee for tobacco, and separated, at
least for then, friends.
The next day on the lines we were
all throwing lead and iron at each
other.

Sometimes a lawyer meets his
match on the witness stand. Not
lone since there was a breach of
promise case in an Ohio town. The
usual bully-raging lawyer was there,
but an unusual witness, in the shape
of a country school marm met him.
"Ah, miss," said the lawyer, when
she had taken the oath, "will you
state your name?"
"Elizabeth Martin," she respond
ed quietly.
"Your occupation?"
"Teaching school."
"How old are you?" he said next,
with a sidelong glance at the crowd.
"Old enough to know that it is
none of your business," she answer
ed as gently as the ring dove coos.
"Objection sustained," remarked
the Court.
The lawyer's face fell, bnt he brac
ed up and went on, but without a
smile.
"Do you know the nature of an
oath ?" he asked spitefully.
"Oh, yes. I heard you damn the
Conrt yesterday on the street for
ruling against you, and I knew you
were nut saying your prayers."
The Court looked at the lawyer,
the lawyer looked at the ceiling, and
the witness looked at ease.
"Coufine your answers to the case,
if you please," 6aid rhe lawyer.
"Now, will you tell the Court if you
know the plaintiff?"
"Yes, sir, I know her."
"What do you know of her?"
"More good than I do of a law-
yer, sir."
"Thanks. I know, yonr honor,
that Joseph. Hill, the defendant,
asked Mary Jackson, the plaintiff,
if she would be his wile. It was
done in my presence."
"Indeed. Isn't that rather an un
usual way of popping the question?"
"I don't know, sir. I have had no
experience. I happened to be pres

to the room unexpectedly and saw
the plaintiff sitting in the defendant's
lap, and he, to show me that she
had a right to save the furniture in
that way, asked her again to be bis

earlier."
"By the way. Miss Martin, how
much does tne plaintiff weigh ?"
TJne hundred and tortv pounds,
sir."
"How do you know so- exactly?"
"By the weight, of course." She
smiled, and the lawyer went off on
another tack.
"Did you think the defendant
was telling the truth ?"
"Oh, yes ; you know he is not a
lawyer." .

The Sheriff will please provide
the witness with a chair," said the
Court. "She seems to have sat

room, and the Court sees no gooa
reason why a chair should be ex

took the chair to await another call
to the stand.
Grant and Lincoln.
From the London Timet of July M.
. In the person of General Grant,
who died yesterday, after a period
of most painful suffering borne with
stoical fortitude and patience, the
Republic of the United States loses
its most conspicuous historical fig
ure of the momentous era of the
civil war. Lincoln has been en
shrined in the popular memory even
more by the tragic circumstances of
his death than by his heroic sim
plicity of character and his unswerv
ing devotion to public duty. Sew
ard and Sumner were politicians
who rather influenced politicians
than swayed the masses.
But. with all his faults, Grant
loomed larger in the people's eye
than any of his rivals or coevals.
He united the claims of the success
ful commander in the field to those
of the chief magistrate twice chosen
by the voice of the nation to sit in
the seat of Washington. If his na
ture was ol metal of far more mix
ed alloy thai that of the founder of
the Republic, as even General
Grant's warmest admirers must ad
mit, it may be fairly pleaded that
in this he was only the creature of
his time. He was born and bred in
a society which had descend d rap
idly from the high level of early re
publican purity, and his mature
training was not euch as to maintain
a lofty standard of political morals.
But if Grant's faults were those
of bis ace and country, his military
qualities, on which the fortunes of
the United btates at tne most criti
cal moment depended, were his own.
Others, both on the Federal and
Confederate sides, were undoubted
ly at least his eqaujs in strategical
ability. His campaigns had not the
fascination of Sherman's famous
march or Stonewall Jackson's Crom
wellian achievements, nor was his
genius as a commander displayed
with the dignified and nobis seren
itv. undisturbed in defect as in vic
tory, which marked the career of
his great antagonist Iee. But in
energy, in resolution and in iron
tenacity of purpose Grant was nev
er surpassed, and those qualities he
brought into exercise at more man
one crisis when the Unionist cause
was in danger of moral enfeeble
ment and political decomposition.
His wonderlul career shows the pos
sibilities of life in the American Re
public, both in its ups and downs.
His name will share with that of
Abraham Lincoln the chief glories
of American history in the Nine
teenth Centurv.
Hatband and Wife.
"Carp," in an interesting sketch
of the late John W. Garret, says of
the extraordinary attachment be
tween the famous railroader and his
wife :
John. W. Garrett bad an iron
will, but his wife ruled him, fl
though she did it in such a way that
the old man never knew it Dur
ing the forty years of their married
life the two never slept a night apart
and I think Mrs. Garrett's death
hastened that of her husband. For
some years back Mr. Garrett bad
been in bad health from overwork,
and the physicians had prescribed
that his meals should be regular,
and that business should not be
talked at the table. Mrs. Garrett
saw that these rules were carried out,
and whenever the lunch or dinner
time arrived, if Mr. Garrett was in
the most important conversation on
business involving millions, with
euests whom the president would de
light to honor, she would call them
to the table and in a gentle way
would admit of no refusal. Mr.
Garrett or his friend might ask for
just one minute more, but the kind
old lady would reply in gentle tones:
"These are our rules ;" and if Mr.
Garrett would break out into some
business exclamation or suggestion,
Mrs. Garrett would at once object,
and the railroad president at the
head of the table would laughingly
call attention to 'the manner in
which he was domineered over, and
would begin to talk of other sub
jects. Mrs. Garrett was a plain,
motherly little woman, full of char
ities and as thoroughly wrapped up
her husband as he was in her. She
was posted on much of his work,
and during her latter years he did
most of his work at home in his
library with several telegraph opera
tors about him. Many of his call
ers she would receive, and dismiss
them without their ever bothering
him. . She was seldom absent from
his room even during the most im
portant conversations, and she en
j twined herself so closely about ev
ery hbre or the old man s nature
that when she died, about two years
ago, his machinery did not work
and he finally succumbed to the
loss.

How to Use the Weed.
Tho mastication of tobacco fur
stimulating purposes id not so injur
ious, perhaps, sta smoking. With a
little attention to simple rules a luan
oi phlegmatic temperament may
chew tobacco for eighty or ninety
years without serious results.
For chewing purposes the mildest
form of tobacco should be used. The
or a nd known as pio;-taii' should be
eschewed bv persona of sedentary
habits. It contains a great deal of
copperas aud molsses,und this com
bination only agrees wirh seafaring
persons or those who labor severely
in the open air.
Of all the tobaccos "Gravely" is
probably the best, though the Vir
ginia natural leaf is quite popular
with connoisseurs. Fine cut should
be avoided. It contains a great deal
of nicotine, and is so prepared as to
over-stimulate the salivary glands.
Chewers should avoid falling asleep
with a cud in their mouth. In ex
pectorating care should betaken not
to ej?cl hydraulicly through the
teeth and irritate the gump.
After chewing steadily for two or
three hours the mouth should be
cleansed. This prevents discolora
tion of the teeth. No intelligent
tobacco chewer will take a quid im
mediately after partaking of spring
onions.
These rules are few and simple,
but if followed they cannot fail to be
of lasting benefit to every chewer.

Almost a Fatal Mistake in Arkansaw.
In an Arkansaw town, several
nights ago, a mob, led by a desper
ate man, marched to the jail, drag
ged a murderer from a cell and hur
ried with him to the outskirts of the
town. Each man wore an expres
sion oi determination features har
dened by awful resolve. The pris
oner attemped to speak, to beg for
hi life, but the burly hands closed
around his throat and the prayer he
would -have uttered went out in an
inarticulate gurgle. ;
When the infuriated" men reach
ed ajarge oak they baited. One of
them threw a ropo oyer a limb.
"Gentlemen," said the prisoner,
"please give me a chance to say a
word."
"Be quick about it," some one
shouted.
"Gentlemen, I admit that the evi
dence is against me, but as truly as
we btand here I killed that man in
self-defense."
"Killed what man?" was asked.
"Dill Bottleford.".
"You ain't the man that killed
Bottleford, are you ?"
"Yes unfortunately, I am the
man."
"Men," shouted the leader, "we
have come within one of making a
terrible mistake." Then turning to
the prisoner the leader added : "We
thought, bit. that you were the man
that stole Nat Boyd's fish trap.
Hop down offen the box. You are
free."

Killed by an Army of Wasps.
Will iani P. Thompson, a farmer,
living two miles from North Branch
Creek, in Allegheny county, was
working in a corn field the other
day, when he noticed what he sup
posed to be bees swarming around
the stump of an old oak tree stand
ing in a lence corner. He approach
ed, and rashly attempted to investi
gate them by striking the stump
with his hoe. In an instant a whole
nest of wasps, probably 500 or COO
strong, attacked him. They settled
all over his head, and the man was
soon rushing frantically to the house
screaming ior neip. me wasps
cluDg to him with remarkable per
sistency, and when he reached his
home his wife was compelled to beat
them off with a broom. He had' been
stung in a horrible manner. There
was scarcely a piece 6f skin as big
as a penny on his bead, which had
not been pierced by the wasps'
stings. He had just had his hair
cut with a clipper, and the wasps
found no difficulty in getting in
their work all over his scalp. One
of them had settled in his left eye
and stung the eye-balL In two
hours Thompson's head had swollen
to a ruonstious size, his left eye pro
truding, and be was a terrible spec
tacle. The man suffered terrible
agony until he expired. The most
singular feature of the case is that
the head has swollen considerably

I have just rw-eiveil two car loads of the Self-oiling Stel s!iein Stliuttler Wagons, tiie
nioet complete Western Wagon in the market tor Itowl or Farm I'unmses. On the latter
tbete is a Lear ilrake, to be used when battling hay or grain, a something that farmers
know the necessity of when hauling on hilly luniu. Every part of the Wood-work of
this wagon has laid in Stock three years before bein worked up, insuring the work to be
horoug lily seasoned before being ironed. Being the pateutees of the
DOUBLE COLLAR AND OIL CUPS,
It is the only Wagon made that has this improvement It avoids the
necessity of taking off the wheels to grease, as in the old style ; by aim
ply turning a cap the wagon can be oiled in less than five minutes. This
Wagon wants to be seen to be fully appreciated, and parties wishing to
bay will do well to see it before purchasing elsewhere.
EVERY WAGON FULLY INSURED.
In offering this make oi Wagon to the public, will say I used the same
make of Wagon fur fire years when freighting across the Rocky Uoun-
J tains, over roads that were
the test. . I feci warranted in saying I believe thera the ISet Wagon on
