doctor uttered the benediction, and the

Gen. Grants Speech at Portland, Ore

In your remarks you have alluded to
the struggles of the past. am glad
they are at an end. It never was a
pleasure to me that they had a begin
ming. The result has left us nation
to be proud of, strong at home, and re-
spected abroad. Our reputation has
extended beyond the civilized nations ;
it has penetrated even to the less civil
lied parts of the earth. In my travels
I have noticed that foreign nations ap-
pear to respect us more that we respect
ourselves. I have noticed the grandeur
at which we have been estimated by
other powers. and their judgments
should give us a higher estimate of our
own greatness. They recognize that
poverty, as they understand it, is not
known with us. And the man of COM
parative affluence, with them, is some
times no better clad or fed than our
pauper. Nowhere are there better ele-
ments of success than on the Pacific
coast. Here those who fought on op-
posite sides during the war are now
peacefully associated together in q
country of which they all have right
to be proud. I thank the people again,
through you, Judge Strong, for this re-
ception.

o'clock the body was taken out of the
coffin and placed upon the crib. AT
1880 the door of the retort was opened.
The body, covered with sheet which
had been saturated with alum
water, was thrust in and the
door closed. In few seconds dense
volume of black smoke rose from the
chimney, and the odor Of burning flesh
greeted the olfactories of the few per-
sons who remained outside. The fur
mace was not sufficiently incandescent,
and the progress Of the incarceration
was rather slow. At 2 o'clock the man
in charge of the furnace pronounced
the cremation accomplished. There
was no excitement, very little interest
being taken in the affair by the public,
The ultimate remains will not be re-
moved from the retort before Saturday
evening. What disposition will be
made of them is known only to the fam
lily. About | o'clock story obtained
currency in Pittsburgh that, owing to
the furnace not being hot enough, the
remains were frying, or baking, instead
of burning. This occasioned some ex-
element, which was allayed by tele-
gram from Washington, stating that
everything was going on satisfactorily.
The time was little longer than in the
cases of Baron Won Palm and Mrs.
Pitman, but no serious difficulty was
encountered, and the managers of the
affair pronounce it q success.-P5ttS-

Autumn Reflections.

Change is written on the tide,

All, whereer the eye can rest

too, as we advance in years. Time never

A Cave That Tells Tragic Story.

The wonderful cave recently discov-
cred, near Burnet is certainly one of
the greatest curiosities of the age.
While passing through this cave gen
tleman discovered a small aperture
about six inches in width. Having a
pick he broke into this opening, and to
his astonishment he soon discovered a
large and airy apartment. Entering
this, he found what appeared to be a
stone table beautifully carved. Several
stone chairs stood in one corner of the
room. He continued his search, and at
last in a dark corner he found the
skeleton of a man. He attempted to
raise it from The floor, but though he
exerted his utmost strength he could
not move it. He says that it appeared
to be solid stone. Tt is impossible to
conjecture who was the hermit or how
long the skeleton has remained hidden
away in that silent cave.-Batr2oet

Portland Post Office.

The Postoffice authorities have had gilt
fence, some eight feet in height, erected in the
mailing room so that strangers cannot pass in
side.
In this connection we may allude to an ar
rangement by the government so as to prevent
carelessness in clerks. Every Office of distribu-
tion-say the New York office-sends with each
bundle of letters for Portland, slip, on one
side of which is printed the Office from whence
sent, the name, or number, of the clerk MAX
ing up the package, and the date of sending.
On arrival here, the distributing clerk takes
the package, and if any missent letters are
found, he makes the number of them, and
their proper direction, on the other side of the
slip, together with the distributing clerk s
name. These slips are forwarded monthly to
the Superintendent of Mail Railway Service in
Boston by the chief clerk here, and in that
way all errors made by postoffice clerks, every
where, are kept account of. For instance let us
suppose clerk No. 40 makes up the New York
bundle for Portland May 20. The place, date,
and clerks name are inscribed on one side of
the slip. Upon arrival of the mail here, we
will say clerk No. 2 distributes the mail from
New York, and finds letter directed to Port
land, Conn, enclosed therein. He marks on
the other side of the above named slip 1, Port
land, Conn.,, puts on the date, May 81, and
signs it clerk No. 2, Portland, Maine.
The clerk receives from Washington, at the
end of each month, the slip on which is mark
ed all the errors he has made during that time,
