Mr.. A. w. Hayes, OF Brady township.
tells us of q remarkable case of petrifcation
which came under his observation a short
time ago. He was called upon to remove the
remains Of Mrs. Permelia Ayers who died in
1913 at the age of 70 years, and who was bur
led in George Beatty's buryinl- round. He
says that the whole body, except the head and
feet, was as white as chalk, was perfect in
form and symmetery, and completely petri-
fed, not in solid form, but after the fashion
OF honey comb. He says there were certain
apertures in the body, aud through these he
could see the lungs, liver and intestines, all of
which were preserved in their natural form,
and were white and porous like the BODY.
The case excited considerable curiosity in the
neighborhood, and many came in to witness
the wonderful sight,-Bryan Press.

riod of President Grants stay in
Chicago, and accounting for every
day and almost every hour of his
time there, much of which was spent
in Mr.. Ms company; the result of
which is to show, in the language of
that gentleman, that "the article in
the Sentinel is a piece of Infamous
Elackguardism." Mr.. NJ, further
says, addressing a reporter: "Many
Of our citizens were as intimately
associated with the President during
his visit as | was, and know as much
as ] do about his condition. Iwould
be willing to make an affidavit that,
so far as l observed, the President
was rs sober as you or L"
AS the Indianapolis fabricator
sought to give color to his fiction by
the use of the name Of Mr.. S. NJ.
Turner, clerk at the fremont House,
that gentleman has disposed of that
part of the story in the following
clear, unqualified and emphatic de-
nial:
CHICAGO, H., June q.
To the Editor:
SIR: The conversation published in the In
dianapolis Daily Sentinel pusporting to have
occurred between Mr.. OrVi!le Grant and my
self at the fremont House, on the occasion OF
the Presidents visit to this city in May last,
never occurred. 1t is entirely an invention IN
matter and detail. The President arrived IN
Chicago on Sunday morning, aud found rooms
assigned to him and his party in the rear OF
the hotel proper, in the building known as
Congress Hall" To go in and out of his
rooms he had no occasion TO pass through the
front portion of the hotel (the private en-
trance being on Congress street) where was
engaged in the Office, and never saw him
during that visit.
Mr.. OrviIle Grant, with friends, came into
the Office on the day named and asked me II
the President was in. l replied that would
ascertain, and sent his card up, and upon the
return of the bell boy the party were admit
ted. During the interva', Mr.. OrVille Grant
was in conversation with the gentlemen with
whom he called, and / had no other words
with him than have Just stated. Not SEN
tence, word, or syllable ever passed as de-
tailed by tho Sentinel. feel especially 1ndig-
nont that such an unwarrantable outrage
should be attempted to the injury of the Pres
ident, inasmuch as to mako it true the reputa-
ton of years, in business to which L have
devoted my life, is scandaiously assailed. 1t
is simply ridiculous that such compensation
should have been held, fact that will be ap-
parent to any one upon moments reh' c.
ton. SAMUEL M. TURNER.
Thus is disposed CT one more of
the series of fabfications against the
private character of Gen. Grant.
But it is not likely to be the last.
The same process of denial and ex-
posure has been going on since the
battle of Pittsburg Landing. Prob
ably no man has met with equally
bold and persistent accusation, than
has he; and yet, not single charge
in the slightest impairing his stand
ing with the people has been sustain
ed. Each fresh attack seems only
to leave his character Che brighter,
and the more completely to confound
his enemies. Is it a wonder, under
such circumstances, thst the people
believe in Grant, as they have be-
lieved in very few men2

THE crop prospects in parts of
Europe are unsatisfactory. In Great
Britain it is said that wet and cold
weather will reduce the crops below
the average of last year. In France
the area devoted to winter wheat
was SO reduced that spring wheat
had been planted more extensively
than common, and on high and dry
land it looks we'll. The rye crop is
poor. In Germany the season is
backward. In Austria accounts are
favorable for all grain except barley.
In Holland and Belgium prospects
are unfavorable, and in Italy average
crops are not expected. From Rus
sia the reports are fattering, es-
pecially in regard to wheat.

The People Believe in erant.

The N. 1. Grdphtc justly says:
"Whatever else may be said about
criticisms on the administration at
Washington, it is evident that the
papers who have attacked the Pres
ident have hurt themselves more
than anybody else. Rightfully or
wrongfully, the people support Grant
and make themselves very comfort
able u1der his management of their
affairs. They trouble themselves
very little about his cottage at Long
Branch, his farm near St. Louis, and
his bull pups at Washington. In
fact, they are not all inclined to
peep into his kitchen every day and
find out what he has for dinner.
Evidently, there is feeling Of loyal
ty to the Chief Magistrate of the ma
ton which will not down at the bid
ding of politicians who are anxious
to succeed him. This feeling is graft
fying as an evidence of the growing
stability of popular opinion"
