ORvILLE GRANT is dead. He was
the youngest child Of Jesse Grant, and
WAS born in Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1893.
While Ulysses was in the army, Or
vile became partner of his father in
the leather business i'm GaIena, and,
after he resigned, Ulysses worked for
them awhile. In 1855, Orville removed
to Chicago and went into business with
ex-CollectOr Mclean, having a large
wholesale Establishment OIL Lake street.
Large losses, growing out Of the fire of
1871, ruined Orville Grant financially,
and, after u vain struggle to recover,
his brain became affected, and many
eccentric acts committed by him were
used to the disadvantage of the Gener-
al ut the time he was president. In
1876, Orville became really insane, and
was confined in an asylum for nearly
two years, but was subsequently re-
leased, and has since been about New
York, Washington and MOrristOwn,
n. j. His insanity was of harmless
type, but his friends were compelled
to restrain him, because he often caus-
ed people Inconvenience and pecunia-
~ loss by representing himself to be
an immense capitalist and dealer in
live stock, leather, etc. At one time
it was his fancy that he owned the
Chicago stock yards, and had been de-
frauded OF them, and ut another time
he imagined and represented to the
people that he was the proprietor Of the
COmmunipaw stock yards in New Jer-
sey. A year or more ago one Of his In
sane freaks cost his brother-in-law
large sum Of money, and he was again
sent to the asylum, where he died.

speaking OF the retirement OF Mess -
Conkling and Thurman from the SEN
ate, The New York Sun says:
With minds differently organized
and trained, their methods OF arRu.
ment were wide apart. Mr.. Thurman
WAS always clear, direct and compact,
with . dash Of humor In his9 speech,
but with out the least attempt 1t Orna.
ment. As prompt and vigorous de-
batter, well equipped in constitutional
and In political knowledge; an acute
lawyer, with the superadded expert
ence Of y judge; an excellent scholar,
familiar with the classics, and q nat
ural observation-disclosures controversy, he
had few equals in the senate. His best
speeches. like those Of Pitt, were made
on the spur of the occasion. Mr..
Conkling, though but thirty-eight
years Of age when he entered the sen.
ate, carried to that body o reputation
for rare intellectual gifts and for high
attainments, acquired during three
terms in the house Of representatives.
He took rank Immediately with
Trumbull. Morton, Grimes, Fessen-
den, Sumner, Wade, Sherman and
Edmunds, then the recognized leaders
OF the Republican side and he grew in
fame and influence until he overtopped
them all. On the day of his resigna-
ton he was the first and most com.
manding figure in his party, though
among the least popular of those who
contended for the primacy. Conscious
of strong powers, and ambitious Of
distinction, he did not court favor
with the arts of the politician, but
aimed at leadership, in right of intel
lectual force. In debate he invariably
went to the front; he was ready for any
turn il might take, and he had at hand
q most varied stock of resources. no
matter who took the field against him.
Severe study, memory like \ store
house of law, literature, science and
song, long practice and keen faculties
made him dreaded combatant. An
extraordinary flow of language and
spontaneous flowers of rhetoric, per-
haps, decorated too highly his argu-
ment; but, all in all, few men in pub
lie life have deserved more attention
than Mr.. COnkling. At any period Of
the senate Thurman and Conkling
would have been conspicuous charac-
tiers, who would have held their own
with the best. They leave q void
which will be hard to fill, not only for
pre-eminence, but rs examples of hon.
or and integrity, unstained amid per-
vading corruption and loose notions of

STABBED TO DEATH.
On last Sunday afternoon q difficulty

New Orleans Pacific Railroad, between
two men named Donpy Gibbs and JEFF
Davis, in which tho latter was stabbed
in the head and neck, severing the Jug
ular artery, from which be died almost
instantly. The difficulty grew out Of
game Of cards, resulting in the deplor-
able finale related. We have CLEANED
only partial particulars Of this fearful
tragedy, but the accounts agree that
Gibbs stabbed Davis to death in full
view Of numerous spectators, and then
deliberately walked away without any
effort being made to arrest the murder
or. Davis was raised In Mansfield.

VALUE OF NEATNEss.

A very neat woman will contrive
to keep even one apartment in state
of complete neatness. But if she be
a sloven, she will not care who knows
the fact. Not long ago called upon
a woman with whom ! had but slight
acquaintance, and was shocked at the
untidy appearance of her bed room.
There was positively not a chair in it
that cared to seat myself in. Her
child's playthings were scattered all
over the room, together with frag-
ments ofluncheon. The bed was in
disorder. "You must excuse appear
ances," said the lady, as soon as l
was seated. "The chamber-maid
busted and put the room to rights
only couple of hours ago; but it is
so hard to keep anything straight or
nice when one has a child around"
"And you must not think" added her
husband, with a shade Of annoyance
on his face, "that because we live so
uncomfortably now, we never did
have anything nice. We had the
prettiest little home you can imagine
when we lived in the country, and my
wife kept itas neat as apln." ! doubt
ed the assertion. Time must, in the
speakers recollection, have cast
glamour over that little home, and
made him gloss over his statement
considerably. His wife's appearance
from her head to her feet, gave evl.
dence of the sloven. And | knew
well that the woman who is naturally
orderly and neat will retain her gooc
habits, no matter how she is situated
She will unconsciously pick up ant
f put to rights all through the day, Civ
= ing a touch here and push there a
f she goes along, 1t is a most unfor
: tanate thing for man when he find
$ himself tied for life to a woman. N
