Funeral Obsequies of Gen. Johnson


1t seems that the remains of Gen. Albert
Sidney Johnson were recently removed from
New Orleans to Galveston, to be inferred in
Texas. Preparations were made in Calves
ton for an imposing funeral display. Places
of business were closed and the City was
draped in mourning. Gen. Griffin, in COM

ton to ordinary funeral services, but he for

The Mayor of Galveston then appealed to
Gen. Sheridan to set aside the order of Gen.
Griffin, to which Gen. S. replied as follows:

petuate our Government, to authorize Con-
federate demonstrations over the remains of

P. H. SHERIDAN,
Major-General United States Army.
Great excitement ensued. The coffin or
sarcophagus was kept in the street all day,
and thousands of the people crowded around
to see the remains. Afterwards the remains
were taken to Houston. The buildings were
draped in mourning, and thousands of peo-
pie met the body at the depot. The body
was then takel, to Austin for interment.

Hobnobbing with the Glass Blowers.

Ap0pos Of the Glass Works now being erected
in this city, we had the pleasure, on Monday,
through the politeness of our wealthy and hospi-
table fellow townsman, Hon. WM. REDDrCK, Of
meeting, at his generously covered mahogany,
the principal men of the Glass Works at La
Sale, with the wives of such as could boast such
an "incumbrance." There were about twenty.
five of them, including half dozen of ladies.
who had been prevailed upon to take a holiday
at thespecial invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Reddick,
and make themselves "at home" for a day at
their stately, hospitable mansion Among the
favored few of our citizens who were permitted
to mingle with this "goodly company" were his
homo" Mayor Clancy, Col. A. B. Moore, Brother
Pusey, of the Republican,, and last and least, the
senior of the FREE TRADER If the object of
the worthy host and hostess was to secure the
presence Of such as knew how to appreciate and
enjoy the many good things set before them,
their selection all that could be desired. OF
Brother Joshua especially, we can say with conf.
dence that his gustatory powers, as evidenced on
this occasion, are something truly TREMENDOUS.
The La Sale Glass Company is an association
of some 20 or 30 gentlemen of intelligence and q
practical experience in the business, on the Joint
stock, or rather, cooperative plan. They are
mostly Germans, but have had . thorough
schooling at Pittsburg and other manufacturing
points at the east. They commenced at La Salle
about year ago, with rather limited means,
and with other drawbacks worked along until
last June before they got into operation. Their
experience thus far. however, shows that, with
the coal, sand and lime at their door, they can
make q better article of glass than is made ct
Pittsburg, for less money. As an evidence OF
the superiority of their glass, we only need men-
ton the fact that their glass is now sold ct Chi.

The PROPOSED Railroad Loan.

twill be seen by The notice published by the
Town Clerk, in another column, that the People
Of Ottawa Township are summoned to meet at
of December next to vote by ballot for OR against
the proposition whether this town shall subscribe
an additional sum Of $4,000 to the capital stock
of the Ottawa, Oswego and Fox River Valley
R. r. The proposed town meeting, our read
ers are informed elsewhere, is the result of a
vote at "a meeting of the citizens of Ottawa at
the Court House last Saturday evening. The
question to be decided, then. is, shall the addi-
tional sum be voted ! Hc-I I1
We are reliably informed that the needed
5000 per mile, to continue the Railroad from
Ottawa to Elgin, is made up by private and
town subscriptions % that the whole road
is ready to be put under contract except the
gap between Ottawa and Streator, which awaits
the result of the above town meeting.
The question is thus presented to our people
in shape that leaves little room for haltng or
deliberation Ottawa must act instantly or the
road will seek another roste. The question is
not 90 much whether - shsl have road north
ward from Ottawa, q scbthward. There is now
railroad nearly fiished from st. Louis via
Carrplton, Jacksonville, Petersburg, Metamora,
&c, to Wenona and from, Wenona that road is
built to streator, in this county. The main
object of the projectors of that road is to get to
Chicago. There is very strong interest work
ing to take that road from Streator, via Mar
seilles or Seneca, Lisbon, Plainheld, &c. 1t may
be all very true, that eventually this road from
streator to Ottawa, and thsaoe up Fox River to
Oswego, Aurora, &C., must b built anyhow.
But suppose we now let the road go from Weno-
ma via Plain6ed to Chicaoo, what becomes of
our grand trunk road from st Louis via Peters
burg, Metamorn, Wenona, Ottawa, Oswego Au.
rora, &C., to Chicago, as well as to the Pineres
