AN EXcELLENT Work OF ART One
Of the best pure line engravings we ever
saw, if not in fact the best, isIittiefield' S
portrait of General Grant. 1t is indeed
Grant himself POLITICALLY distant
resemblance, nor an ideal cloud behind
which the man features are indistinctly
and vaguely visible Grants face, un-
luckily for the ideal painter, is one Of
those that cannot be idealized. Wash
ingt on s could so could Lincoln S. Their
features were altogether unlike those ef
anybody else. Nobody ever saw a man
who resembed either Washington or
Lincoln. Their features were as differ
'ent as two faces well could be, but each
so entirely unique that a picture bearing
even slight resemblance is at once rec
ognized Hence they are defined with
safety and facility by the brush and pen
ell of enthusiastic genius.
But a likeness of Grant must be
perfect likeness, or it becomes at once
likeness of ten Thousand other men as
much as of him.
We have not seen the original painting
by Little6eld, but of the engraving we
hardly know what else to say than that
is Grant exactly, Grant precisely, Grant
in every hneament. This engraving is
certainly a superior production, and
possesses a high value for all such as want
a picture Of Grant just as he is. We
refrain from discussing its artistics merits
in technical terms and from professional
standpoint, as this is a department. of
the subject abou. which the general pub
tic has no concern.
Gen. Grant saysI regard Mr. Little
field s portrait of myself as the best ever
engraved, .rr.- ~ - o.7 p. ss .s

DUCKs.-Our friend McGavin came in
q day or two ago and said we could find
ducks some fine morning SO it was
agreed that " ednesday morning early we
would start up the creek. And start we
did Just as it became light 1t was SO
cold our fingers are numb yet, but the
ducks were there, we could see them, and
soon we have one, two, three in the boat
We round point, hist what is that? "a
flock of teal as sure as the world We
fire one barrel before they disappear
from sight and kill FIVE. Well this
begins to seem like sport. Two mallards
fly up, we killed one, but, for the TN OF
the thing let the other go. The sport
continues until about eight o clock when
we land our boat find we have eight
cen large fat ducks, en- ough to satisfy
even quill driver.

ORGANIZE. Every town in this county
Should have good working Republican
Club, and no time should be lost in or
ganizing one There is nothing SO effec-
tuaIin political campaign as through
town organization The earlier this i'm
portant preliminary is attended to the
better. Our political enemies are making
desperate effort in favor of their Presl-
dental and Congressional Ticket They
leave no@stone unturned to gain vote
foreither of their candidates. They urge
the claims of Mr.. Villas on account Of
beng resident of this town and that his
interests are identicpl with every voter
in the county. They however neglect to
tell the voter that the party to which he
| belongs to is in large minority in Con-
gress and with no hope of obtaining
a majority. Every appropriation for
our halbor must come, as it has hereto
fore, from the Republican Party. No
matte% how good the intentions of Mr..
Villas are he can have no influence with
Republican Congress. Mr.. Sawyer mas
done all that any voter could have asked
him to do for our village and county. If
we repudiate him, we virtually say to his
political friends, who are in the majority
IN Congress that we want no dppr0prtd
| ti0ns for our harbor; hence vote for
Mr.. Villas, IS against the interest of every
voter Of this Village and County 1t
should be borne in mind that the dcmo-
cratic party has always been against Rv
er and Harber improvements What
did they do during the long period of
years that they were in power? With
but one or Two exceptions there was not
harbor improved along the entire chain
Of lakes. ;. The democratic party passed
resolutions then as they do now in favor of
Harbers improvements. These promises
they never fulfilled. A political party,
the same as a private Individual is judged
by its previous actions. If party tells
you fatsehood once it will again, 1t is
not to be trusted. s.la Z u

PERsoNAh-Rev. Israel Holmes, for
thirteen years pastor of the Presbyterian
Church at Nettle Hill, in this county has
dissolved his connections with that church
and gone to reside with his son, Rev.
Mead Holmes, in Rockford ILL., His
great age-some seventy years-and in
creasing inirmities, are the cause Of this
change. Mr.. Holmes furnished the prin-
cipal part of the funds for building the
church at Nettle Hill and took a mort
gage on the property to secure himself.
A short time since he preached a farewell
sermon and at its conclusion presented to
the trustees of the church the said mort
gage cancelled. We are sorry to lose
from our county such a useful, generous
citizen. but we think and hope his de-.
Ginning days may be made more peaceful
and happier in the home of his son, than
they could be made here.

INTERESTING TO SOLDIERS. anoth.
er page Of the Pilot will be found an able
communication, from q veteran soldier.
showing the difference "'twixt tweedle
dunn and tweedle dee." The Radical par
ty now in power are in favor Of redeeming
certain United States bonds, which are
mostly held by foreign Shylocks, and which
were bought at discount ruinous to the
government, in gold, although the bonds
bear no such promise on their face. The
soldiers, who saved the country from dis
memberment, and to whom is due the fact
that these bonds are worth anything at all,
received their meagre monthly pittance in
greenbacks, and the anti-repudiation "
party are troubled with no qualms of con-
science. The table prepared by our corr
respondent shows the range of gold during
the war, and (were the soldiers placed on
the same footing with the bondholders)
the additional amount in currency that
each private and non commissioned officer
should have received on each pay day, to
make him square with the government on
a gold basis.
