vorable symptoms which were noticed. He
remarked to his friends that he had finished
his last work and was ready to die. He
knew his end at hand and met his fate
| like soldier. He was entirely unconscious
for three days. On the day previous to his
death bis brother, clerk in the engineer de-
partment at Washington, arrived, and was
shown to the room of the dying soldier, who
was unconscious. The patient partially raj

citizen passed to the spirit land, leaving a
brokenhearted wife, two children, several
sisters and brothers and host of friends to
mourn his loss. His last hours were hours
OF peace and he met the grim messenger
without pain or agony. His last request was
that he should be buried quietly and without
the military funeral due his rank, or rather
that it should not be strictly military fune-
raj, and he also requested that he be clothed
in plain citizens dress, lie had seen all
that he wanted to see of the trappings of

diabetes, with q complication of other troub-

all of which, in the opinion of those who
hue" ulLu, were aggravated by mental
troubles. He died at the famous old Coe es-

forty eight miles northeast of Cincinnati
According to the last census, the
centre had advanced westward fifty
eight miles, and detected to the south
about eight, being near tho village
of Taylorsvllle, Ky, about eight miles from
Cincinnati. 1t is anticipated that the next
census will find it in Jennings County, In
diana. Surprising the western movement of
the population to continue, the central point
should cross the Mississippi about 1850 not
far from the mouth OF the Missouri. 1t is
considered probable, however, that 1t will
never 60 so far westward, as there are large
areas in the west which are only adapted for
mining and grazing pursuits, and will sup
port but scanty population. The increase
in the region beyond the Mississippi river af
ter the present century may not much more
than counterbalance that of tie rest of the
country, in which case the center of popula-
ton will remain almost stationary in south

During the coming term of the Circuit
court in Racine, Wisconsin, suit will be in
stituted entitled the United States Electric
Lighting company of New York and others
against the Edison Electric Light company
of New York, which, it would seem, virtually
involves the existence of the latter giant cor
poration. The attorneys of the United
States Electric Lighting company were in Ra-
cine last winter procuring testimony relative
to the invention of an incandescent electric
light by young man named w. X. Freeman
Freeman sort of local electrician, and en-.
gagged himself in putting in burglar alarm ap-
parhtus, call bells, ETC., and all the while was
hard at work On an electric light of the in
candescent style, and, as is now claimed was
the first to accomplish the wonder of incan-
descent light by means of vacuum, and
which he had displayed to large number of
people in Racine year prior to the time
Edison claims to have discovered it. Free.
man claims to have sent one of his lamps to
Edison for inspection, and that Edison imme
diately usurped his invention and procured
letters patent thereon. The United States
Electric Lighting company afterward en-,
gagged Freeman as an electrician, and he is
now in the company's employ. The compa-
ny took up his case about year ago, and
have ever since been actively engaged in pre-
pairing their evidence. The best patent law
yers in the United States have been retained
by the respective parties to the suit, and
there are indications that an interesting legal
battle is to come.

G. K Warren on Wednesday he quietly
and methodically took to his bed. On Mon
day, July 31st, the General went over to
Fort Adams to superintend some work being
done at that place for the government. On
the following day he ate a hearty dinner, af-
ter which he seated himself upon the piazza
of his residence and smoked cigar. He
dropped asleep, and when he was aroused an
hour afterward he was chilled through by
the damp night air. He went to his room
and passed restless night On the follow

was called. The doctor found his patient

The Arrears bill now pending in Parlia.
ment proposes to pay from the public funds
a portion of the arrears of rent due from
Irish tenants who are too poor to pay, and
thus to give them a new start, free from the
burden of debt. The bill provides means for
ascertaining the tenants pecuniary ability, SO
that the bounty of the government may not
be misapplied. The House OF Lords amends
| the bill by including the value of the tenants
/ household estate in his schedule of assets, SO
| that, if his tenancy is worth anything he
must lose it. An arrears bill of that kind
would not be worth much, and it does not
now seem probable that the lords will have
