known rs the 'old farm house,n located on North
Twelfth street, between Second and Third, and
owned by Colonel Hunt, took Dire and was nearly
destroyed before the flames were extinguished.
The Fire Marshal, on examining the premises, be-
came convinced that the fire was the work Of an
incendiary. The lower part OF the house was oc-
cupied as junk shop by Henry Holland, the upper.
part as a dwelling by man named Vogle, u Ger
man. The fire was first discovered In the upper
part OF the building Isaac Robinson, proprietor
OF store in the vicinity, made an atfdavit before
Fire Marshal Ready, In which he stated that
Holland came to HIM and offered him
$40 10 burn the place, and that ne had made
all the arrangements 10 do so with turpentine and
Kerosene. The roof was to be burned first in order
to give the occupants Of the building an opportu-
nifty to escape. lie said he was insured, and when
the fire occurred would be In jamaica Robinson

made him the same offer, and that he would be

building must be burned that night.

THE FATHER OF The PRESIDENT.
Jesse n. Grant on His Deathbed.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer, June I'll

From the Cincinnati Enquirer, June I'll
Since his paralytic stroke Mr.. Jesse r. Grant has
been quite lame, dealer than before, and has had
difhculty in utterance. Yet until two weeks ago
he kept about, and ut times seemed almost spry.
At last fortnight ago, nearly at the close OF his
seventy ninth year, the venerable father of the
President succumbed TO general debtlityn or to
that painless yet fatal disease which mortuary re-
ports classify as ''old age" He was compelled to
take to his bed at his comfortable, even elegant
home, 500 Greenup street, Covington. where he
calmly awaits the last. He Is attended by Mrs.
Grant, and her daughter, Mrs. Cramer the
presiaens ssser aon MINISTER cramer e nten here
to leave for Washington some time in
advance Of his sailing Tor Copenhagen, but re-
father-in-aw's condition. That DR.. Thomas, the
family physician, and Surgeon Swift. United States
very near is certain. Mr.. Grant himself believes
that 1t is question oi not many days, and is in
deed so feeble that male nurse has TO be with
him night and day. Yesterday General Kautz, one
oil the distinguished callers told Mrs. Grant in the
presence OF General swift, and probably by his adj
vice, that Mr.. Grants surviving brother, who lives
near Maysville, had better be sent for, as the
patient would probably like TO see him. Meanwhile
the Presidents intentions are not definitely an
nounced to the family, although it is be-
lieved that he appreciates the seriousness of
the situation and may arrive at any nom ent.
father fall to sleep forever passing away
SO quietly-aS Is usual In such cases-that those
who love him best win hardly be aole TO detect
the instant where Time ends and Eternity begins.
The old mans path has not always been strewn
with roses, nor have we always been able TO speak
kindly OF him; yet there is much OF grandeur in
the closing hours OF a life which, If not rcmarka-
BILE IN Its achievements, has been wonderful In its
surroundings. In the peaceful resignation with
which, having seen his soldier boyn General OF
the armies, President of the most powerful Re-
public on earth. and reelected triumphanty, the
father awaits death, is there not the germ Of that
iron-iike "grit" which. II any personal quality,
has made the son what he Is Or does serenity
spring rom the Providentia provision, which rem
ders those WHO carry four-score years willing with
out a struggle to surrender their load OF lie and
be at rest
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1873-06-30

There are water and fuel in abundance along the
various roads described, but the water the first
third OF the way Is mostly bitter and SALT and un-
Ut for drinking. The fuel Is supplied by the SAX
SAUL the creeping willow Of the Asiatic desert,
growing freely in the more sheltered places, and
until lately, 1T may be remembered used by the
steamers on the Sir Darya ana Lake Aral.
All the way the ground is so level as to
present no difficulties to the transport OF
artillery or commissariat wagons Not even
the ascent of the Ust-Urt nor the descent
from it forms an exception to this. The caravans
ordinarily take from orty-fve to nity-hve days in
going from khiva to Orenburg, but in Spring, when
the wells are iull, they have been known to reach
the Russian frontier in thirty.one, and ON some
occasions even in twenty-six days. The progress
OF the troops win be iAuch slower, they march in
eceions to admit OF the wells reliiing in the inter-
val elapeing between the successive arrivals.
Tie column intended to operate on this very
difficult line, amply provided to meet all contin-
gences that may be ioreseen, lett 0renburg, Orsk
ana Uralsk in eche,oas from February % to March
8. Their immediate destination was the Emba
Post, where the whole force was to be concen-
trated before proceeding further south. To facili-
tate the march the tive battaions OF the line and
the cannon were transported on sledges the artil-
lery horses being led far as the Emoa Post. To
protect the men from the snow storms a number OF
dIulamek (Kirghese felt tents) form part OF their
equipment
Wherever the troops halted for the night the
Kirghese, by dint OF extra payment, were induced
to provide them with tents, fuel, hay and meat.
As both these latter commodities are likely to be
wanting in the second half of the way, where the
troops will be obliged to skirt the Ust-Urt, the
force carries with 1t small quantity OF salt meat,
$1,000 rations OF preserved meat and 1000 tchet-
vcrts about six thousand bushels) OF oats. There
are also eight pumping apparatus on the modern
pipe pattern in the camp and two bridges-the one
q pontoon bridge, the other on stake sto assist in
the passage oil the Khivese canals. over and above
the stores and utensils supplied by the field hospi-
tai OF the force the orenburg section OF the Society
for Succoring the Wounded and Sick has con-
tributed three carriages and fifty filters and good
many necessaries and dantics to be distributed In
the hospitals, such as sugar. tea, tobacco. NC.
Journals, books ana writing utensils are likewise
included among the gifts of the Society, who have
spent 1900 roubles on the expedition.
by March 30 the whole expeditonary force was
assembled at tie Emba Post, the greater part OF
the troops having performed the distance in the
time ofiicially allowed them. Only the Ural Cos
sacks and the luggage trains, owing to the bad
condition OF the roads, arrived later than was an
ticpated. In some localities the snow was 80 deep
