CHICAGO, April 29-rhe point of re.
markaol conversation between Col.
Fred Grant and one of the most distin-
guished Republican leaders of Illinois,

raided the veteran for not being actively
at work for Gen. Grant. During the
conversation. he said;
"My father says that there may come
a time in tho history Of the repulic when
it may be to the vital interest of the peo-
pie of this country to nominate a Pres =

dents set by Washiagton and Jefferson
would stand In the way OF the common
welfare. 1t therefore becomes impor.
tant to get that obstruction to the safety
of the republic out of the way. Ny ia
ther says he il in a position to make that
trial and win that victory against a pub

dent"
This speech of young Grant took the
distinguished citizen aUack. 1t was evil
dent that the young mai. had been i'm
pressed with the divine mission of his
faith. r, and 1t is probable that the gentle
man would not have deemed it advisable

there was Witness who takes the pub

The River of Life.


Ny little bark was launched one day
Out on the water, bright and clear;
I took the oars and sailed away,
Never dreaming that trouble was near.
All was fresh, and bright TO me,
And looked around with wandering
Laughing aloud in my childish glee
When I saw the wavelets dance.
But swiftly passed those waters bright
And entered others deep and dark
Whose towering billows with all their
might
Endeavored to o'erturn my shallow bark
On was tossed by the restless tide
It'll had drifted far cut In the sea
In vain for help Loudly cried
The echoes alone returned TO me.
TILL above the tempest wild,
Above the sound, the wild waves made,
There came these words sweet and mild
II am with the. be not afraid"
Now trusting Gods loving hand
am safely passing all dapgers o'er,
I catch q glimpse OF the heavenly land
soon shall stand on onder shore.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Mr.. Charles Dyer Crushed to Death.

AT Has yesterday the Maine Central Show
hogan train was backing down the southerly
main track at the Eastern depot and at the
same time an Eastern freight train was ap-
preaching from the Grand Trunk way A
misplaced switch brought the rear ends of the
two trains together short distance below the
head of Railroad wharf, while the freight cars
were upon short curve. The result was that
the two light box cars on the curve shot up
wards in the shape of letter A, and one car
left the trucks and crushed through the front
of the ship carpenter shop of Messrs. Dyer G.
Winslow at the head of Deake's wharf.
Mr.. Dyer and two other men were sitting in
the door of the shop when Mr.. Dyer cried out
"Look there" These were the last words he
ever spoke. Mr.. Winslow, his partner, ran to
the rear of the shop and was unipjured. Mr..
E. P. Skillings was knocked down and had a
shoulder bruised. Mr.. Dyer ran into the other
room where there was large pile of lumber
and a grindstone, and the car crushed him
under the timber as it came flying through the
building. Captain Mitchell, of the Eastern,
learned that there was a man imprisoned in
the wreck composed of the debris of freight
cars and the building. Jack screws were at
once procured and Mr.. Dyer was found. He
gasped end lived a few momests after Re was
got out. The shop is situated some six feet
from the track, showing the force with which
the car was thrown.
Mr.. Dyer was shipwright by trade,a brother
of Stephen K Dyer, and he leaves widow
and children. He was man highly respected.
He was member of Maine Lodge and the Odd
Fellows Mutual Relief Association.

by prayer by Rev. Mr.. Lapham of Eliot Rev.
B. K. Pierce, d. D., editor lof lions Herald
delivered discourse from 1 Kings xviii42-
$50 Ahab went up to eat and to drink And
Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he
cast himself down upon the earth" &C. The
preacher portrayed the character of King
Ahab and Jezabel, contrasting it with that of
Elijah, the prophet. He then described the
scene that occurred on Mt. Carmel where Eli
iah convinced the prophets of Baal by fire
from heaven that God is the Lord. The work
ing Of this mighty miracle did not effect the
conversions of Israel neither have reviyals
been brought about in the church as the result
of any great events but by the searching Spir-
it of God where the truth has been preached
The miracles of Christ did not convert the
Jews but the preaching on the day of Pente-
cost, in the power of the Spirit, carried con-
viction to many hearts. After this direct an
swer to prayer on Mt. Carmel no man should
doubt the efficacy of prayer.
After singing, remarks were made by Reys.

practical and eloquent DISCOURSE based on
Eph. vi4-"And, ye fathers, provoke not
your children to wrath, but bring them up in

bilities of parents to their children Parents
owe Sustenance to their children and should
afford them Christian culture. The child
should be dedicated to God in baptism.
Social meetings were held in the society
chapels at $50 p. m.
In the evening Rev. Chas Munger preached
sermon from Luke xii:50-"But L have a
baptism to be baptized with; and how am /
straitened till it be Accomplishment" In the
first place it was shown that many professed
Christians are in bonds; secondly. theresis an
experience for them that will release them
to serve God in holiness and righteousness ali
the days of their life.

An Old Orchard Musteru

Two weeks ago last Saturday, while search
ing for Mr.. Hanson, the insane man who wan.
dered from the camp ground at Old Orchard.
Mr.. LeLacheur, accompanied by officer Whit
tier and others, found suspicious looking
bundle concealed under an old spring bed in
the rear of Mr.. Wormwell's house, near the
main road leading from the camp ground to
Saco 1t was opened and found to contain a
bloody shirt, collars, cuffs and neck-tie. The
size of the collar was 14s. The sleeves of the
shirt as far as the elbows, were literally soaked
in blood, and the front splashed and stained
with the same evidence of crime. There were
no marks on any of the clothing by which they
could be identified. The neck-tie was white
with purple spots; the shirt apparently new.
The paper around it was a Boston Herald of
July ed. Everything points towards the same
conclusion-murder-but there is as yet only a
mystery to think of and speculate on. The
general opinion is that the crime was commit.
ted elsewhere and the clothes concealed here
to throw the detectives off the scent
