and of all the essentials ofliying, and the great
addition to the wages Of the American
workmen, enables them BY sobriety and
thrift, upon the labor Of The husband alone'
to purchase homesteads, to save money
to accumulate capital, aud to become en-
.ployers as well as workmen while the wives
and children, exempt from the drudgery COM
mon in other lands, enjoy comforts, and lux
nries, and domestic aud social pleasures
utterly unknown to the mRss Of Europeans
The idea-the dream-of the Socialist dem
agog is little work, plenty to eat, unre-
strcted d.ink, and frequent picnics, with
liberal collections of gate-mouey. For these
he howls, and in the demand for these he is
aided by the. more lazy, Incorporate, I'M
providant, and self-constituted leaders Of the
trade~unions. This latter class are the dupes
aud the victims; they are the men who pay the
gate-money to sustain this alien, foreign
born, anti-American organization, which, bred
in poverty and padperism, substitutes idle
ness for industry, dr1iqkenness for intellect
ual culture, and general Generalization for
thrift and virtue. Let the American work
ingmen read the exhibit Of the condition Of
workingmen outside Of the United States,
and then contrast it with the so-called "nis-
cry, slavery, and degradation which these
alien labor-reform agtators represent as ex-
ising in this country.

It happens to every man that grief must
at last overtake him on his journey of life,
though his years may have been SO prosper
GUS and full of sunshine that it seems as if
no shadow would ever cross his path. Gen.
CHANTS career has been gingular1y prosper
ous and successful. After having won his
place az the first soldier Of the world, be
was twice rewarded BY his grateful country
men with the highest Office in their gift, and
has since that time been the honored guest
at the throne Of almost every civilized po-
tentate on earth and has received attentions
in far-of lands where the light Of Western
civilization has hardly yet penetrated. In
the very midst Of his brilliant progress, and
while about turning his face homewards
again, the telegraph brings to him on those
distant shores the sud intelligence of the
first blow Of death in his household.
His only daughter, NELLIE GRANT SAR-
ron1s, whose nuptials were celebrated
five short years ago in the White House, is
no more. Though wife and mother, she
has passedaway suddenly, in the very flower
of her youth, and left her English home des-
olate. Shs WAS the third child and only
daughter, born in 1855, and married May 90,
1874, to Mr.. SARroR1s, an English gentle
man, who met her while in Europe travelling
with the family Of e1~Secretary BoRrE, sub
sequently visited her in Washington, and
obtained her hand. The marriage ceremony
WAS celebrated at the White House with the
simple elegance that should pertain to q
Republican court, and then the happy groom
took her to his English home, where she
soon became favorite by her sweet dispo-
sition and friendly intercourse. A year
afterward Mrs. SARToR1s returned to Wash
ington, and during her visit to her parents
time. She leaves one child. Though she
was not exceptionally brilliant, she had re-
ceived a good education, and was possessed
Of sterling qualities Of mind AMI character
which would have made her favorite in
any, even tho highest, circles. Her character
was spotless, her presence attractive, and
her tastes simple and domestic. Her tenn
permanent and training were calculated to
make her shine at home perhaps more than
in society, and it was this sphere which she
filed with success. She WAS q pure, sweet
woman, faithful daughter, and loving
mother. While the whole country, irrespect-
i've Of party, will sympathize with Mr.: and
Mrs. GRANT in their time OF bereavement,
and while messages Of coincidence will come
to them from all parts Of the world, her loss
will not be fully appreciated except in the
American home where she was SO dutifu1,
and in her English home, where she was 50
loving.

allzad and panicly himself, and the result
was a general scramble for available assets.
The edifice of credit was toppled over, and
came down with q loud crash, Involving
widespread loss.
Fall River, Mass, is q good place to look
Tor specimen panics on small scale. There
was Alr. GEORGE B. DUEFEE, President OF the
Montauk Mill and Treasurer Of the Mechan-
lcs' Hill, who recently succeeded CHASE,
HATHAWAY, and S11oKsEx, Of the same State,
in defalcations. Mr. DUnFEE abstracted
5000 Of the money intrusted to his keep
ing, and lost it in cotton speculations. When
this embezzlement was discovered there was
panic in the circle of which MIR.
DuRFEE was the centre. 4 still more
recent case is that of Mr.. WALTER PAINE,
Treasurer Of the American Linen Company,
who took 100000 of ths Company's money
and invested it in "futures.' MIR. PAINE
invested about ST., 900 Of other money in the
same way and lost the whole of it in his
little stock-gambling games. He was con-
nected with the American Woolen Mills, the
Fall River Savings Bank, the Meta
comet National Bank, the American Print
Works, the Fall Granite Company, etc.; and
there was mora or less of panic among all
, these institutions when his misappropria-
tons, speculations, and losses were discoV-
cred.
With these constantly y-recurring cases Of
individual panics before the people, it is
surprising that any one should be in doubt
about the cause Of general panics. When it
becomes the general custom Of the country
to borrow or steal money belonging to others
and then gamble with it, the result IS just as
sure to be general panic as individual panic
is sure to follow in isolated cases Of similar
rrncadura

Gen. WA1KEz, the Superintendent Of the
next decennial census, is making ample
preparations looking to full and complete
return Of all the facts connected with the
gold and silver mining and fishery industries
Of the United States. Thoao that werc col
lated for the census reports of 1860 and
1870 are now discovered to be al
most worthless. Had the absolute value
Of our inshore fisheries been known two
years ago, Gan. WALKER says, the United
States would not have been assessed $5, 500,-
600 to pay the supposititous balance which
the Canadians claimed. and which was award
ed to them by the Halifax Commission. The
facts which, it is expected, will be obtained
concerning the mining. Of the precious met
ais may throw such light on the silver
question as will induce the mono-metallic ma
tions to repent the error of their ways and
return to the double standard.

Hero, which ere about as lntelhglble to
the mourners as WAGNER's "Nibelungan
Trilogy would be, and returning from
the graveyard in o suns hins of joy,
as expressed by potpourri from " fat1'
nitzz " OF q quickstop Of GrINoREs,-
the effect of the contrast being to impress
the street crowd with the conviction that the
procession is glad it has planted its comrade
past all hope of immediate resurrection. A
repugnant and absurd fashion has made the
funerals of the rich enormously expensive,
until it has coms to cost more to get out OF
the world than into it, or even than the out
lay required to convince female being that
you are under solemn obligations to pay her
board-bills during life, or until such time as
you are released by due process OF Law. The
funeral upholsteries Of the undertaken, the
caskets with their silver or gold garniture,
the floral designs, the professional expendi~
ture, the sepu1chral adornments, aud the
magnifcence Of the mendaoious marble entail
a bill that is fearful in its items, and colossal
in its total. Our mourning fashions ara mora
obnoxious, perhaps, forthe ostentatious man
ner in which they advertise private sorrow
with which the public should have no con-
cern, than for the expense they in
vo1ve. They are simply matters OF
form, and represent no respect for the
dead. The full suit of inky, dingy Grape
casts gloom wherever it goes. It's dark
shadow suggests hopelessness., It bars ont
~ IT. ~ Nof77ra
invests the departure of the friend with the
attributes of q final and agonizing farewell.
1t forbids any thought of the gratefulness Of
the change or of the hopefu1ness of the
future. It proclaims to the world that the
friend who has gone has met with great
calamity in being obliged to lay down the
burden Of life, which had become too heavy
to bear, and that the friend who remains
behind has met with loss for which there
can be- no compensation. In both respects
the proclamation is delusive. In the first
place, it is the hight Of disrespect to the
memory Of The dead to suggest that be is
not better of. In the second place, as
time goes on, it shows that there must
be compensation, because the various grada-
tons Of grief, as it mihgates, expressed by
the shades of 1etter-paper, envelopes, fans,
pocket-handkerchiefs, and other articles of
bijouterie and vertu, gradually lead to an
era of low sorrow that precedes clearing
weather at the opera or reception, and much
gossip over newcomer, who has sup
planted the recol1ections Of the old. There
is room for great reform in all this. The
matter Of mourning has come SO exclusively
within the control Of those mysterious beings
who construct the fashions that it is fast
losing all its significance. When these fash
ions come so publicly into the open market,
and partake so much Of the character Of
ordinary business schemes that your domi-
cile is flooded with hints from undertakers
circulars of mourning fashions, designs Of
tablets and tombstones, almost before the
eyes of the dying one have closed, it is time
for some reform.

By an ingenious system OF substituting
domestic for foreign tobacco in bonded
warehouse in Detroit, clever rogue recently
succeeded in defrauding the Government out
of some $4,000. Irregularities in the to-
baoco trade and deceptions in the obtaining
of match stamps have Of late made serious
hole in the National pocketbook- The
Revenue Department should use in all its
branches the same circumspection as is exer-
cised in the collection Of the tax On whisky
Then the possibility Of fraud would be re-
duced to an exceedingly small minimum.

A new society has recently been organized
in England, called the National Funeral and
Mourning Reform Association, whose pur-
poses are indicated in its name. It has
already Attracted quite membership, and
will undoubtedly draw great many more, as
soon as few more people of position join its
ranks; for in this fashion, as in all fashions,
the multitude follows few b1indly and
without question, like sheep. One Of the
objects Of this Association is to reduce the
cost of funerals, by wedding ont expenses
WHICH are not only unnecessary but foolish,
and which have come to entail compulsory
tax upon many who cannot always afford it
and at the same time feel that they cannot
refuse to make the customary conventionn
contribution. This object is emphasized by
the Association in its declaration that it
seeks to avoid ostentation and to do away
with the unnecessary and unreasonable
gloom and horror which are so often thrown
around the circumstances of death. Another
object Of this Association is to bring about
reform in the wearing Of mourning apparel
and the prao1ice Of other mourning customs
which, when looked upon in their proper
light, are Aippant and absurd Among other
recommendations made in the prospectus Of
the Association, it is suggested that the
period dictated BY custom for the wearing Of
mourning shall be shortened; that children
under 8 years Of age shall not be put into
black at oil, but may wear some band of
Grape on their ordinary garments; that
mourning shall only be given to servants who
have been long in the family; that female
members Of the Association shall always be
provided with q. black gown, SO that in time
of sorrow they need not make fresh pnr-
chases; that mourning stationery shall be
dispensed with; and that, if members see
fit to make no change whatever in their dress,
they shall be considered to be acting in haf-
mony with the objects of the Association by
wearing their ordinary garments if they
choose to, do so. That this Association is
destined to work reform in these directions
is shown by the fact that several persons oc-
cupying high positions have already joined
it, among them the Earl Of Essex, the Bishop
Of Ripon, the Bishop. Of Hereford, Mr. Ser
geant Coz, Mr. RusKE, and others. q
Our funeral and mourning fashions--for,
after al1,. our, grief over the late departed
depends largely upon fashion to Illustrate
its outward manifestations-ditfer somewhat
from the English, but not sufficiently 80 to
ob7iate the necessity Of sim; lar reform.
Our funerals are too expensive, and the poor
ape the rich. Some Of the former waste
their money in 8 long procession Of carriages
Others, especially if the departed belonged
to trade organization, must hare not only
a long string Of hacks but brass band, the
latter taking the body to the cemetery in

Afew days ago The TRIBUNE directed the
attention Of those persons who were casting
about for the cause Of financial pnnics to the
case of the Rev. 'Adirondack" MURRAY as
illustrating the chief conditions of general
financial crash. Mr. MuHRAY's individual
embarrassments were very similar to those
which were generally spread throughout the
country previous to the panic Of 1873, and
to those which will lead I'D to the next panic
in this country. Isolated illustrations Of this
kind are constantly before the people, and a
proper appreciation Of their nature may pos
sihly exert deterrent Influence upon the
coming Of the next general panic, though
that is doubtful; at all events, they may serve
to explain why we have pauics, for the bene-
fit of those people who regard them as mys-
terious visitations.
There.is the recent case of the lumber
man, D. J, SpAULD1Sa, of Black River Falls,
Wis, for another specimen. Mr. SPAULDHG,
according to oil accounts, is very good fell
low, and quite popular, but that circum-
stance did not prevent his friends and cred
itors from losing confidence in him. The
reason they LOST confidence was the a6cer.
tainment of the fact that Mr. SpAu1D1Na was
about $500, 900 in debt. The way he got so
much in debt was by spreading out far be-
yond his own resources. He bought several
fine farms aud stocked them with bloodsd
cattle; he became the owner Of vast pine
lands, and started saw-mills and hewed down
forests, and otherwise branched out chiefly
upon money belonging to Others, which be
borrowed to crafty his ambitious ventures.
After while one suspicious creditor began
to suspect that III. SRAu1DrSG was probably
owing more than. he could pay if called
upon, and this suspicious. creditor set
about to get his clutches upon his
share. Another creditor, discovering the
movements of the suspicious one, bestirred
himself to get his money too. Then third,
then ten, and SO on till there was a regular
panic among Mr. SR4u1DEG's creditors.

The beauties OF an absolute military des-
potism, such as is now reigning in Russia,
have only to be felt to be appreciated a
private citizen of St. Petersburg had the
misfortune to get into personal difficulty
with military sentinel who, probably like
Capt. .76nks Of the Horse Marines, was pre-
suning on his "belonglng to the army. ~
The civilian Was arrested, tried before a
court-martial, convicted, and sentenced to
twelve years hard labor in the Siberian
mines. And yet the Gear Of oil the Russias
wonders why Nihilism hourishes and the
troops under his commsnd cannot repress it.
