GENERAL GRANTS reception in Chi :.
"cago commenced on Wednesday O. last
week and came to close on Tuesday
of this week. The initiation of the
weeks receptions was an invitation by
the Army of the Tennessee for the
General to meet said army in. reunion
at Chicago, and his acceptance of the
invitation. On the first day he was re-
ceived by Chicago and the Army of
the Tennessee. And such a reception
as was given him was never before
seen in Chicago, and perhaps never in
the United States. 1t has been said
that there We're million Of people in
Chicago on the occasion Of his receL-
tions. The railroads are said to have
carried into Chicago on the first day
,seventy-fve thousand people.
The receptions of the City Of Chca-
go and the Army of the Tennessee la, :
ing passed, other receptions were Civ.
en- him, not less than two every day.
Among them the School Children's re
ception is worthy of note. The day
arriving and the time approaching, it
was cold and rainy and the opinion
was prevalent that the children would
not turn out and that the recep.ian
would prove failure. But the chill
~dren's desire to see Grant was irrepres-
rible, and cold and rain did not stop
them. They turned out in force, the
number variously stated from 10000
or 10000 to $4,000 or 10000. General
Grant had promptly taken his place on
a low platform at ~ o'clock, and the
children, having. entered the EXPOSE
ton Building, filed past him five or
six abreast, many throwing him bo-
quets, a few shaking hands with him
and fewer still kissing him. The chill
dren were rather disappointed that
they could not stop and shake hands
with General Grant, but they took a
good look at him and passed on with
out stopping, submitting to the newt
able, till all had passed at o'clock
The school children Of Chicago had
heard Of Grant and gladly embraced
the opportunity to see him, and those
who saw him will never forget him. !
General Grants receptions in Chice-
go for the week have never been 81,
passed, and probably never equalcd.

THE State Board of Charities and
Reform are investigating the manage
ment Of the House of Correction at
Milwaukee. The testimony so far
shows a horrible state of things. The
inmates are fed with food, if it may so
be called, unfit to eat and punished in
humanity. Gagging, and closing in a
dark room without ventilation or bed
: for days and even weeks at a time
whether warm or cold are the usual
punishments. If one tenth part of
what is proved is true there should be
AN entire change of the management
and of those who have control of it.

The next day when the train came
back, they enquired of the conductor if
any man answering to their descrip-
ton had gone down with him that
day. The conductor remembered that
such a man had gone down with him,

then telegraphed his sister IN Chicago
to know II he was there with her, but
she was unaware OF his whereabouts.
After an absence Of days he returned
home. For the next 10 days lie re-
manned with his family and appeared
as usual. Monday Nov. Sd, he rose in

for his family and for himself. He
asked the Lord to take him as he was
ready and willing to die. He then
laid down on the bed, was taken with
spasms and in less than one hour he
was dead. Thus was his prayer an
