Banks had been defeated In one of the

dent Lincoln regarded him as personal friend
with strong political supporters In and out OF
that the President would hesitate to act

shows from Gen. Badeau's own statement that

than once In that long night Grant thought OF
relieving him from command. Every plan was
confused, every maneuver complicated, every
object endangered, by his failure to move. The
situation which Sheridan described at 3 am.
did not exist solely because Warren had not
obeyed his orders; there would be opportunity
ger OF the destruction OF the cavalry, solely be-
cause Warren was not at the appointed place
at the appointed time.
ION TO RICHMOND :"
While the battle of FIVE Forks was fought
Grant sat in his distant headquarters, outside
OF his tent, wrapped in the blue overcoat OF q
private soldier, which he wore in this CAM
paign. 1.-TWO or three staff officers were With
him, says Badeau, ''hovering around the camp
fire In the wet and gloomy woods. Two had
remained all day with Sheridan to bring the
troops were heard In the distance, as they
gathered from an officer, while he rode along,
the character OF his news Every one at
h isa knew what 1t must be; soon
d,smounted had told part OF his story.
The rebels didn't rum he said, on any
particular road Five Forks was won,
was still not known: Grant at once sent word
TO Meade: Humphreys must push now or
everything VIII leave his front and be concen-
tie vas aroused, and he saw in an instant not
only what the enemy should do, but what steps
ne himself must take in order to circumy emit
Lee: Before long another ef1icer arrived In
great excitement, having ridden hard from the
field. He brought the full intelligence Grant
listened calmly to the report, only now and
then tnterruptlng to ask question. When all
was told he rose, and Without saying word
entered his tent, where a candle fickered on
the table. he invited no one to Join him,
but wrote dispatch In sight Of the officers
outside and gave It to an orderly. Then, COM
Ing out to the fire again, he said as calmly as
II he were remarking 1t Is windy night /
have ordered an immediate assault along the
lileS.'"
THE LAST DIrcu
at dayDreak the tremendous drama began.
Lee made stubborn resistance, but his works
were carried. 1t was during this movement
mat Gen. Miles was highly praised by Gen.
Grant for "the perttnacity with which he cling
70 the enemy and Wrung from him victory"
during the night Richmond ana Petersburg
were penetrated, and Grant, instead OF march,
Ing TO Richmond for grand entry, ordered
Meade as follows: ''You win march immedi-
taking the river road. Mr.. Lincoln came on to
Petersburg and had few minutes talk with
Grant, who went at once to the front and &C.
compan1ed the army that was driving Lee on to
his doom. Gen. Bade0u'S volumes come to an
end with the description OF the defeat and
surrender OF Lee. 1t Is familiar story, but
even told again has all the graphic interest OF q
romance. From the beginning Of the movement

One of the beautiful arrangements Of
sending narrow local bigot like Bill
Washburn to Congress is made apparent
by the recent order of the secretary of
war directing the army dlsbursing officers
to keep their deposits at Minneapolis in
stead of St. Paul. The st. Paul Repub-
Iicans who sustain Bill WashbuIn ought
to be happy, and the St. Paul Democrats
who were so holy in 1878 that they could
not vote for Donnelly, as against Wash
burn should also be jolly with their Re-
publican compatriots. The st. Paul Dem
ocrats might have laid Bill Washburn in
his political grave before he was born,
and have thus forced the dominant party
to have selected some one with tri1e of
hberality and decency. 1t would have
been a victory to have defeated such a
man, no matter with whom, but ST. Paul
Democrats were too short sighted and
the city now reaps its reward.

OUR PUBLIC CHARITIES.

Use hospitality one to another without
grudging. PETER Iv;9.
We are informed in the good book
that the Lord loveth cheerful giver. He
who gives aims or extends hospitality
g1udgingly might as well omit such bene-
factions altogether, for they are not &C
eeptable in the eyes of deity, nor are
they at all likely to prove of genuine
benefit to the party who receives them.
The churches generally recognize it as
a part of their duty to provide for the
poor and destitute Of their own congre-
cations In some of the church organiza-
tions this is an easy task, for the poor
are repealed at the very threshold of the
sanctuary and consequently do not be-
come proper charge upon the members.
But in many churches there are few
who need constant assistance-widows
who have been overtaken by misfortune
and are unable to work for their own
maintenance; orphans who have been
left destitute, and old men who have out
lived the age in which they can labor. The

NEARING THE END.

The condition of the President yester
day was dlscouraging almost to hopeless
ness. The recurrence of chills and vom-
iting and the general condition of the
sufferer show that he is practically be-
yond recuperating power. The abscess
upon the lungs, the bed sores and the
general condition demonstrate the fatal
work of blood poisoning. After so long
and valiant struggle for life the public
have very largely cultivated q
blind belief that recovery would
ensue. This belief seems now to be
doomed to disappointment. Relapse attel
relapse coming upon the shattered and
weakened system must necessarily place
him at the foot of the ladder, with nc
physical strength for advancement. Il
is best to prepare for the worst, which
seems Row to be inevitable very shortly

President Gartfeld,s Mother

The Western Home Journal, published
at Lawrence, Kansas, in recent issue
published an extract from letter from
Mrs. S. A. Gillette to her husband, S. A.
Gillette, Esq, of Lawrence, in reference
to the mother of the President. Mrs. Gill
lette was visiting relatives in the vicinity
where Mrs. Garfield senior resides, and
took the opportunity to pay the veneer
able lady visit, and of that visit writes
as follows:
81 wrote you in my letter of recent
date that my sister Mrs Norton ha d in
yited me to call with her on Mrs. Gar
field, President Garield's mother, who is
spending few weeks with her daughter
who lives in Salon, and but short dis
lance from Mrs. NOrtOn's. Mrs. Garfield
and Mrs Norton are old friends and mem
bers of the Disciples church at Salon. l
gladly accepted the invitation, for had
a desire to see the dear old forest heroine,
who was left widow with her little
children in the adjoining town of Orange,
in 1888; when all this region of Northern
Ohio was covered by dense forest How
perseveringly and successfully this
heroic mother struggled against adver-
sity and the difficulties incident to the
early settlement of new country, to
sustain her family Zone of which is our
suffering President), is now matter of
history.
We called on Mrs Garfield and found
her in good health for a woman of eighty
years old, lady small in stature, light
complexion, pleasing address, and quite
social and friendly in conversation, and
1 should say in every way worthy of so
distinguished and illustrious son as
President Garfield Most of the CONVEX
sation during our stay was upon the at
tempted assassination of her son, James,
as she called him, on which subject she
spoke feelingly and with evident emotion:
She said she thought at first she would
sink under the terrible aff1iction-but
thinks she has been sustained by an over
ruling Providence.

Senator Beck and HIS Troubles
WASHINGTON Republican. !


The unguarded expression of the news
paper man who reported Senator Beck as
favoring Senator Anthony for President
pro tenn. in case of vacancy IN the chair
of the Senate in December has kept that
senator in hot water ever since. We have
interviewed him, and copied his inter-
views with others, and we assure the
Democratic members of the Kentucky
legislature that Senator Beck is a
thoroughbred, full blooded Democrat;
that he is an all-wool and yardwide
caucus man; that he is in every way
worthy of trust as Bourbon--we mean
no offense; that is our way of describing
the unwavering and unyielding partisan
Democrat.
A Lexington Ky writer for an Indf
ana paper gives an interview with the
senator, in which it is stated that he
maintained "that in the event of his 1.-THE
Presidents death nothing revolutionary
or illegal would be attempted, and that
probably Mr.. Anthony or some other con-
sentative Republican would be elected;
that certainly the Democratic party did
not seek mere sem blance of temporary
power by double assassination with one
house OF Congress against them and the
other tie.''
From this we judge that the senator
simply intended to say that in the event
of the Presidents death, and in case
there should then be tie
in the Senate, ordinary patriotism
would bring the Two parties together for
the time being, as the only means of
securing an organization of the Senate.
In such an event it would be natural 10
choose the senator longest in service,
without regard to politics. In this case
the choice would fall upon Senator
Anthony. If neither party should have
a constitutional majority in the full Sen
ate in December it will prevail without a
contest. If there should be tie, we be-
lieve that instead of deadlock, repre-
sentative senators of each party would
confer, and that when the Senate met it
would be found unanimous on every ques-
ton of organization. Probably Mr.. Beck
had such possibility in view in what he
said.

A PLAN of street Improvements has
been tested in St. Louis and several other
cities with great success, and is, perhaps
worthy of a trial IN St. Paul Whenever
it is desirable to improve the streets, and
the cost of such improvements is greater
than the AUDITING property can afford to
pay, bonds are issued, running ten years.
at moderate rate of interest, these bonds
being a lien upon the property benefited
by the improvements. Thus it comes
about that the property owners have the
benefit of good streets for ten years be-
fore they are obliged to pay for them, and
in the meantime their property has in
creased SO largely in value that they can
afford to pay the bonds without distress.

Busy Scenes at the Nesc Toson of Oethetns.
The discovery of petroleum in the pro-
vince of Hanover is the talk Of the hour
in Germany just now. The oil region is
in the level, sandy country known as the
Lunebuger Haide, nearly five miles from
the small town of Peine. The new town
established around the oil wells has re-
ceived the appropriate name Of Oelheim

of the Berlin Zage6latt describes IT
as having quite an American aspect, with
it's clusters of huge derricks and print
tive wooden buildings. From the rail-
road station at Peine an omnibus runs to
Oelheim over fine highway, shaded by
slender birches and running between Gull.
tivated fields. The little tavern bears
the significant name of New Pennsylva-
MEN, and is always well filled with guests,
attracted to the region by business or Gu
rioslty. A half-dozen tall smoke stacks
tower above low shanties and send out
volumes of black smoke, and Halliday
windmill is in lively mo-
ton. The pumping works
oil drills, machine houses, ETC., stand IN
two principal groups. The pioneer estab-
lishment belongs to man named Mohr.
From the pipe Of the first pump visited a
stream of dark brown crude petroleum
spouts out as thick as mans arm. This
flows into a great tank eight feet high,
and from this is conducted into two sim
liar tanks. This is for purifying the mass
somewhat, and especially to separate the
oil from the salt water which also flows
from the pump. From the last
tank the oil is conducted into barrels.
In the pumping house, with every motion
of the pump a quantity of the crude
petroleum is stopped over onto the
ground, but is not wasted, for it runs
into sunken barrel. Great quantities
of empty casks lie around on the ground
but, as the pumps are kept going day
and night, the supply can hardly keep vi

An AbIe Dreamer.

[Chicago Tribune Baltimore Special
A singular and terrible verifcation of
a dream developed here o-day. For sew
eral days past Louis Roberts, a little
7-year-old son of Capt. r. Roberts, of
this city, has been missing from his
home. The police and parents of the
child searched for him everywhere, but
without success until to-day. Last night
the father of the boy dreamed that his
son was drowned near particular wharf
on the south side of the harbor. The
dream so wildly impressed him that to-
day he had the water dragged, and, sure
enough, found the body of his child.
Capt Roberts testified to the strange
coincidence at the coroner's inquest over
the remains of the child.
