Death of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas

Another great man has fallen! Anoth-
er hero, statesman, lover and supporter of
government gone! Hon. STEPHEN A..
DOUGLAS is no more! He died on Mon
day morning last, at 9.lo, at his residence
|iu Chicago, and nation this day mourns
his loss. He was emphatically one of
the greatest--the greatest man IN
the Congressional Halls of the nation
and staunch supporter of the govern
ment and our national honor. He VIII
be missed, sadly missed, there. That
voice that has so recently proclaimed that
our government must and shall be sus-
tanned will no longer be heard in its de-
fence. His loss at this critical period in
our nations history may truly be esteemed
IA public calamity. The loss Of bis mighty,
giant-like influence that might have serv-
ed greatly to restore honorable peace and
earnestly desired tranquility to our troub-
led political waters, will be mournfully felt
in every department of our vast govern
ment, from him who now sits in the chair
|of state TO his humblest minister. Yes
there will be mourning, mourning for the
death of Hon. STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS,
from Maine to Florida, and from the AT
lantic to the Pacific, wherever his name,
virtues, and noble patriotic sentiments are
known, and many tear will be dropped
to his memory. Requiescat in pace.

Col. Ellsworth.

From the New York World we learn
that Col. E. Elmer Ellsworth, was born
near Mechanicville, in Saratoga county, N.
/ Y, April %, 1887, making him at his
death but about % (24) years of age.
When quite young he manifested strong
military inclinations. At twelve years Of
!age he entered a dry goods store, at Troy,
as clerk, being in possession at the time
|. of a good common school education
when seventeen years of age he went to
Chicago, arriving there penniless, but by
his energy and perseverance soon achieved
Ia high position. While residing there
the exploits of the French Zouavcs at Sc
bastopol became the theme of comment,
and he believing the Zouave tactics the
most efficient yet studied, set about to
Organize company in that city which
were called "The Chicago Zouaves.'
After practicing about year they went
on tour East, which is fresh in the
minds Of our readers. Their tour was
one continued ovation. After breaking
out Of the war he went to New York
|city and organized a Zouave Regiment
composed of members of the Fire De-
partment which he took forward to
Washington, which from the first
has elected the most marked admira-
ton, of whose exploits it is hardly nee
|essary TO detail as they are fresh in the
minds of our readers. His parents are
lstill living at Mechanicsville. He was
their only living child--his only brother
having died year ago last spring. He
was engaged to be married TO Miss Car
RE Spatford, Of Rockford, I'll. The we'd
ding would probably ere this have taken
place but for the breaking out of the war.

Death of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas

The sad event Of the morning has /
throwp a shadow of profound gloom over
the entire city. Hon. STEPHEN A. Doue-l
LAS expired this morning after weeks of
illness, of alternate hope and fears, at
eleven minutes past nine.
The early bulletin at the fremont
House announced that there were mol
hopes of his recovery second, "Judgel
Douglas is DYING" as we now write, the
third, the simple announcement, "is dead, u
finds mournful responsive echo in every
heart.
For week past the lamented deceased
has been only semi.conscious. Though
recognizing his friends he has been unable
to locate them, and his mind gave out
confused fragments of the great thoughts
with which his giant intellect was won't to
grapplc.
The last week was an anxious one of
hopes and fears and as we went to press
on Saturday evening, more favorable
symptoms inspired the belief in his friends
that he had passed the crisis and that he
would again be spared in this hour when
&his country so much needed his strong arm
and his experienced counscls.
His physicians, men of experience and
skill, used every resource of their profess
ion to take advantage of these favorable
&symptoms but in vain. AT twelve o'clock
last night he failed TO recognize his most
intimate friends and became totally I'M
Sconscious; at three o'clock he commenced
Hrapidly to fail and his unwilling physi-
2cians pronounced him beyond bope.-
STheir only duty left was the modrniul one
of easing his dying hours.
Il He gradually failed, seemingly without
pain, until eleven minutes past nine, when
the lamp of life was extinguished without
IA sigh or a struggle. His devoted and
loving wife remained with him to the last
moment, solacing him as best she could,
buried under the weight of the deep af:
Fiction. Madison Cults, his brotber-in-
law, Miss Young of the fremont House,
B. G. Caulfcld, and DR., Hay were also
present.
His death was peaceful and tranquil as
the melting away Of summer cloud at
evening and the mourning watchers were
alone with all that was earthly of STE
PHEN A. DOUGLAS.
4 The funeral obsequies of the illustrious
dead will take place on Wednesday, and
the remains be conveyed to Washington
on Wednesday night. Tomorrow they
will lie in state at Bryan Hall.
AS we close our writing, the bells are
tolling and all the prominent buildings and
flags are being draped. 1t is literally a
{city Of. mourning.-Chicago Journal,
