weeks His early education consisted OF
home instruction, conducted by his pa

upon The study Of law in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin,, to which city his parents had
removed but his extremely delicate
health prevented him from completing
his studies, and he entered upon his edi-
torial career before he was twentyone, as
local editor of the Milwaukee Daily
News During the last year of the war
he was army correspondent Of the New
York Herald. with the 9Th corps, and
his letters over dis own signature. We're

The editor of the Post, in his editor

natural quickness OF observation and dis
elimination so essential to a correspond

During all the phases OF his last illness
his patience and chez, fulness were re
markable, and his last moments really
beautiful. He was perfectly conscious
that his end was near, and he went down
into the dark valley with, composure
and sublime resignation.
On the morning Of his death he par
took of the holy communion with great
satisfaction. and W hen too weak to speak
he took the hand of each of the lmem-

In the Water.

In last week issue we stated that the
Monato,coc would be launched at three
p. N. on Saturday It went off little
earlier and disappointed many who wish
ed to witness the event The occasion
of this as we learn is as follows: It was
desired to have the steamer ready to go
preciseiy;af the tesdesi grated and 70
this end nearly all of the blocking was Ia
ken. away About two o clock it was
found that the vessel was settling upon
the ways sooner than was desirable and
at, hall. past two The ropes We're cut when
the craft sailed off TO the water We
were among the disappointed but we are
informed. thatthe1 sigh was grand be-
yond what is usually'seen, as the steamer
stood high giving sharp slant TO the
ways We think this vessel has the fin
est model OF any we have ever seen for
plane could make them, and her cut-wa-
ter is sharp as a knife She sits on the
water like duck, and like the town she
is named after is bound to create a sensa-
ton = She is a, Clipper ship named in
honor Of a Clipper city-the latter we
know Is fast. the other bids fair to earn
the same reputation.
Not the least pleasing feature of this
launch was the full set of colors which
Huttered IN the breeze above the vessel :
deck-colors purchased by those who
consider it is of Importance to nave the
name of our town carried into every sea-
port on the lakes; to have the name of
our town uttered from the lips of thou
sands daily; to have it published almost
daily in the city newspapers, in short 10y
those who have sufficient public spirit to
wish that our town may be heard OF
abroad. But we refer to this matter IN
another place suffice it to say the colors
give satisfaction, we believe both to- the
recipient and the donors.

as follows: Length over all 2lS feet
Length of Keel 2lO feet Depth Of Hold

is saying considerable when we remember

lieve beaten every thing it has come IN
contact with. The NanijoUoc has now
gone to Milwaukee to get her machinery
in when she will come back here to be fin

TIE CRops AND WEATHER. is
seldom that farmers have such favorable
weather to gather in the crops as they
have this year, and the time appears to
be well improved, for men, women and
children, and beasts can be seen in the
grain field from early morning until late
at night The whest crop is an extraor-
binary one. and it is estiG.ated by good
Judges that more than double the amount
viii be harvested this year than there was
st. The yield is also very large, and it
isthought will fully average thirty bushels
to the acre. Other cereals are turning
oat equally well and the prospects for q
large crop Of potatoes are very good.

1t VIII be remembered that there was
considerable said not very complimentary
to us not long since because when some
one proposed that the Village authorities
make an appropriation for the purpose
of buying a set of colors for the 4uonito-
irn" this paper streuuously opposed the
measure Well we do not expect every
one to agree with US, but we are happy
to state that in this case sufficient num-
were found among cur business men who
do not believe in taxing the people for
ecelythiag !; and that while it is necessary
for the public good that money should
be expended for certain purposes it is still
far better to let those, who are immedi-
atelyinterested and who have the ability
TO do il, take the matter IN hand and
furnish the means. We admit that the
burden might have been more easily
borne had more Of our business men felt
an interest in the matter, but it will be
noticed by the list published below that
few of those who were so anxious to have
The people buy the colors were willing to
pay one cent themselves. Shame on you!
where is your public spirit; where your
enterprise? Is there anything made by
such supreme seidshness? We guess not
And right here We wish to say that as-in
the past this paper has opposed and ex-
posed the wiliful and malicious misuse of
the peoples money, so in the future it
will advocate that money raised by taxa
