TreMsss.
Much has been said, and something
written about the grayestone at Bar Har-
Dor, over the grave Of Elias Rich. Thous-
ands have visited this grave, and all unite
in declaring it wonderful. took the trouble
this week to go and see for myself, and
must say that what has been said has not
been exaggerated. The figure is life size
nearly three feet in length, extending to and
down the hips. At the first view, the figure
seems shadowy and one feels disappointed,
but as you gaze it grows more distinct. and
at last stands out in bold relief, and you
feel awed by its wonderful presence. The
hands seem gently pressed in front on line
with the breast, the head is a little turned
towards the stone and seems gazing far
away in expectant wonder. 1t is, indeed, an
interesting sight, and worth going miles to
see. I. ALDIN.

Speaking about the Greenbsck party,
reminds Us Of an incident which took place
not long since, between one of our republic
can farmers and Greenbacker Of large pO
litical experience in his employ. When the
farmer, true to his political faith, placed be-
fore his man, the amount due, in three sep
arate parcels, one of greenbacks, one Of
silver, one of gold-now says Mr.. farmer
YOU can make your choice of course you do
not want the hard money; you will take the
greenbacks, so to practice what you preach.
1t perhaps will be needless to say that
the eloquent greenbacker took the gold.
Farmers are good natured over this
warm and dry weather. The grain crop is
being gathered in good condition.
We are well satisfied as to .'Agricola's"'
solution of the bone meal question in con
nection with muscle bed.
The sad news last week as to the condi-
ton of the President, cast gloom over the
entire community. The news on Monday
seems to engender new hope: all are anxious
that the Great Ruler Of events will spare to
the nation its beloved President. LEX.

from Karl Hagenbeck this collection, estimated at
not less than $40. 900 or $50, 900 In vnlue.

THE SHIP RAILWAY BILL.


WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-In conversation with
TRIBUNE correspondent this evening Captain Eads
said: 81 am not at all discouraged by the action Of
the House in laying the nteroceanic railway matter
upon the table. remember that the proposition for
opening the Mouth of the Mississippi River was de-
feated in the first session when 1t was introduced.
This action undoubtedly in1icates that no action
will be taken by the House at this session unless
the subject comes before it as measure from the
Senate l have been before the SEN
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
once and am to address the committee
further on next Tuesday. The action of the House
simply shows the opposition of one member of the
body. and rather indicates fear on his part that
the House would consider the subject favorably II
anv discussion of the real merits Of the proposition
was to take place. The bill was introduced at
most unfortunate time, and was laid aside simply
because of It's antagonlsm with important
measures which had been longer under consdera-
don nv members of the body. Singularly enough
at The very time Mr. Page, OF California. was max
ina bis efforts to dispose of the ship railway propo-
sition adversely, the Legislature OF his state was
Considering resolutions warmly approving II, as ls
proved by dispatch to mo from the speaker OF
The Californis House Of Representatives. who says
that the resolutions approving the scheme passed py
