GENERAL GRANT.
GOODBYE SPEECH OF THE Ey-PRFs1-
DENT-HE PAYS A TRIBUTE TO HIS
BRETHREN IN ARMS.

NEW YORK, May 18.-Followino is
the farewell address Of ex-President
Grant. made while steamihg down the
Delaware: M
MY DEAR FRIENDS: / was not aware
we would have so much speech-making
here, or that it would be necessary for
me to say any more to you, but [ feel
that the compliments you have show
cred upon me were not altogether de-
served. They should not all be paid to
me, either as soldier or civil officer. AS
General, your praises do not all belong
to me. AS executive of the nation,
they were not due to me. There is no
man that can fill both or either Of these
positions without the help of good men.
| selected my lieutenants when I was
IN both positions, and they were men,
| believe, who could have filed nv
place often better than [ did. [ never
battered myself | was entitled to the
place you gave me. My ieutenants
could have acted perhaps better than [
had opportunity presented itself. Sher-
man could have taken my place as sol
der or in civil office, and SO could
Sheridan and others 1 might name. 7
am sure if the country ever comes to
this need again there will be men for
the work. There will be men born for
every emergency. Again, I thank you,
and again bid you goodbye, and once
again [ say that if l had failed Sher-
man, or Sheridan, or some of nv other
heutenants would have succeeded

TIE WAR,

The Russian-Turkey war continues
but without any very decided advan-
tage to either side. The news is too
unreliable having in view the truth to
state definitely what either army has
accomplished. Take the news OF the
capture of Abraham as an illustration
of the unreliability of the war news.
The news came that the Russians had
captured Abraham, then that they had
not captured Abraham and had not
even besieged it; then that the Turks
lad recaptured Arabian; and then
that the recapture Of Abraham by the
Turks was net confirmed. 1t is impOs-
sible for any one to learn from the cable
snans Whether the Russians have cap
bared Abraham Or not, and if they have
whether the Turks have rGcaptured it
or not. And the cablegram news in
relation to other operations Of the ar
naiHs lis to sofne extent as unreliable as
it is In relation to the capture Of Arda-
ham. This muBh may be relied on.
RasSia has an army of considerable
force ia Asia Minor, which is opposed
hg an army of Turkey of nearly OF fully
equal force, and there has been some
fighting without any very decided adj
vantages to either side. Russia has a
large army massed on the north side of
the Danube extending from Galatz to
Kalafat with the intention of crossing
the river when conditions are fayora-
bic. Turkey has an army south of the
Danube nearly or fully equal to the
Russian army to oppose it's crossing.
And when the attempt is made to cross.
and after srossing if it succeeds, there
viii probably be some severe lighting.
heTurks have several fortified towns
GA their first line Of defense the princi-
pal OF whiBh are believed to be Varna
on the Baltic, Silestria and Rutschuc on
the Danube, and Shumla guarding the
way To q pass Of the Balkan Noun
tains- The Russian army will scarcely
venture to advance to Turkeys second
line OF defenSe-the Balkan Noun
tains and pass without capturing them
and that viii be work of time, if they
can accomplish it in time. If the ar
mics should meet In battle on the plains
and outside OF the fortified towns
and Russia should gain great
and decided victory it may has
ten the war To a close but otherwise it
is likely TO be prolonged.
Reports bome that there are now ne
gotiatiOns In Berlin having In view the
suspension OF hostilities. But even if
it be true that there are such negotia-
tons they viii not be likely to be sue
cessfI1 unless great battle should be
fought and Russia should gain great
and decided victory. Under such Cir
cunstanees Turkey might think it best
8 10 make the best Of what might seem
TO be the inevitable.

The Oshkosh Daily. Northwestern
of the 14th inst, very properly says Of
the candidacy Of Col. 0. G. Johnson for
Secretary Of State, '"Ehat one defeat
ought to satisfy him." In connection
with the above it suggests the name OF
the Hon. Chas. B. Solberg,of La Crosse,
Wis, as a suitable candidate for some
position on the Republican ticket. He
is a very prominent Norwegian, one
who would add great strength to the
ticket.
The Hon. Chas. B. Solberg has been
quite generally spoken of as suitable
candidate for the Office Of State Treas
urer. The names of Col Geo. Wilson,
of La Crosse and G. Halle Steensland,
Of Dane County, Wis, are also men
toned in connection with the State
Treasuryship, who are all very capa-
BILE, prominent and influential Scardl-
navians, and they are very popular not
only with their countrymen but with
the Republicans generally-just such
men as we want on our State ticket
this fall in order to insure success at
the polls. aa

VOLUME XXXVIII OF the TELEGRAPH
closes with this issue-number LII.
The TELEGRAPH publication year last
year and this year embraced So weeks
each and the TELEGRAPH gave So num-
bers each year for volume. 1t will be
some time before the TELEGRAPH pub
LEGATION year will again embrace 50
weeks and the TELEGRAPH give 50
numbers for volume.
With the end of volume 81 and i'll the
month of June the TELEGRAPH has
lived thirty-seven years. 1t is the old
est paper in the State of Wisconsin.
Other papers were started before it but
they died. The TELEGRAPH has lived
and has completed it's thirty-seventh
volume.
The Milwaukee Sentinel has some
times claimed to be the Oldest paper in
the State and has stated to the public
that it was the oldest paper in the State
without knowing that the TELEGRAPH
was three years the oldest. AS it num-
beers itself it is now only in its thirty
fourth volume.
With the issue of the present NUM-
Der thirty-seven volumes of the TELE-
GRAPH are completed. Its work for
thirty-seyen years is completed. What
ever it is. it is, and on the principle of
whatever is, is right" it is all right.
But right or not it must remain as it is

Antioch Correspondence

| 1t is May at Antioch as elsewhere
This is evident from the general ap-
pearance of freshness and briskness OF
everything in nature, industry. enter
prise and art. Farmers are looking
satisfied with the result Of their and
natures united efforts in producing
fields Of rapidly growing grain. W G
noticed several fields of fine looking
wheat and oats, although small grain
is not sown extensively. Cornfields are
beginning to show their long regular
lines, and orchard trees promise a. fail
yield, that1is, if nothing interferes with
present prospects. 4, H.,
Inside our domicils the same brisk
ness and skurry is going on, and the
good housewife may be seen at nearly
all hours Of the day, with sweeping-cap
closely adjusted, her pin-back tenderly
hung away in the closet corner, and IN
lieu thereof, a short commodiuS work
dress, and she herself plunged into the
merits and dement's of general house
cleaning, and all Benedicts know, too
we'll, the full Interpretation of that
short but significant phrase, house
cleaning. But to bachelors and the
otherwise uninitiated [ will explain
briefly; it means hurried breakfasts,
late dinners, and the remnants Of both
meals put on the table cold for supper;
lit means house and home metamor-
phosed into a drifting mass of confu-
sion, babies crying, children cross, and
wife tired and out Of sorts. The only
real enjoyable part Of this eyentful
season is to stand at a distance and see
the paterfamilias put up the stoye-pipe.
A man may lose his friends and his
property, he may be smitten with bolls
from crown to sole and preserve his
mental equilibrium, but if a man can
put up a refractory stoYe-pipe without
using an indiscriminate mixture OF
words sacred and words pr0fane, well,
I'd like to know who he is, that's all.
Poets may rave about the glories OF
May, but for my part I am glad that it
comes only once a year.
Our merchants are doing a lively
spring trade. Barnes & Williams have
their shelves and counters literally
piled with dry goods Of every descrip-
ton, ready-made clothing, hats, caps,
boots and shoes, groceries, and indeed
every thing usually kept for sale at a
village store.
MI. r. ID. Emmons, too, is receiving
his share of patronage; he is also L. M.
Mrs w arner, our milliner, is up with
the times, and many beautiful hat or
bonnet, Of marvellous shape, trimmed
in the prevailing styles and shades and
0rnamented with flowers that seem to
vie with natures own. I had almost
said these beautiful, wonderful head
ornaments shade beautiful faces, but,
no, alas, this has not been the style
since our grandmothers day, and oar
ladies faces are shaded only by the sun.
