It seemed to me that yesternight
heard the branches signing
Beneath my window, soft and low:
"The great war chief is dyingl"
His marches Ger, his battles won,
His bright sword sheathed forever,
The grand old soldier stands beside
The dark and silent river;
Whilst fame for him q chaplet weayes
Within her fairest bowers,
OF Shiloh's never fading leaves,
And Donelson's bright flowers;
Grim Vickshurg gives crimson rose,
Embalmed in deathless story,
And Appomattox adds q star
To crown the wreath Of glory.
He's dying now!--the angel Death,
Insatiate and impartial,
With icy fingers stoops to touch
The Unions old field marshal,
Who, like soldier brave, awaits
The summons SO appalling,
While DER the land, from sea to sea,
The silent tear is falling.
Still in his veterans hearts to-day
His battle drums are beating;
His bugles always blew advance
With him was no retreating;
And tenderly, with moistened eye,
Columbia bends above him,
And everywhere the sorrowed heart
Tells how the people love HIM.
From golden-fruited orange groves
To where the pines are signing.
The winds wait messages Of love
To Grant, the hero, dying.
The Old World sends across the wave
A token OF its sorrow;
The greatest chief alive to-day
May fall asleep 10 morrow.
O touch the hero gently, Death.
The land is filed with weeping,
And be bis passing like chiid's-
The counterfeit of sleeping.
A million boys in blue now stand
Around their dying brother;
The mighty world knows but one Grant,
Twill never know another.
So let him die with honors crowned
To live fore'er in story;
The fields he won, the land he saved,
Will be his lasting glory.
o mighty Ajax of the North!
Old ld-marshal immortal!
My saddened hearts with thee to-day
Before the darkened portal.
I listened TO the winds last night,
How mournful was their sighing!
1t seemed to be a nations sobs
Der Grant. the soldier, dying.
o touch him. touch him softly, Death
lnsa:iale and impartial;
lie is the Unions mightiest chief
My cherished old field marshal.

MOST PAINFUL.

New York Tribune. II is not strange
that Gov. Cleveland is reluctant to
take into his cabinet the strongest men
OF his party. TallOw candles cannot
shine very brightly in close proximity
to suns. Men like Lincoln and Gar
field could well afford to associate with
themselves the ablest and most popu-
lar of their competitors for the nomi-
nation; neither had reason to fear that
he would be eclipsed by the brightest
of them. Seward, Chase and Stanton
were powerful, but Mr.. Lincoln was
always the chief. But the party which
is now preparing to take control'of
the government has not dared select a
strong representative leader for the
presidency. Mr.. Cleveland has no ex-
perience, but little knowledge of pub
lie men or affairs, and no brilliant
qualities, and the contrast between
such president and cabinet COM
posed of the ablest men of his party
would be most painful.

JOHN JAMES INGALLS,.

From the Boston Traveller
The sharp, personal controversy
which took place In the senate between
Senator Brown and Senator Ingalls,,
of Kansas, was most remarkable
scene. ingalls, is a master of bitter in-
yectiye and biting sarcasm. There
is no man in the senate chamber who
is able to cope with him in the use of
these weapons of debate, and when he
gets loose he runs riot and is extreme
ly apt to trample on everything in his
way. Ingalls, is a native Of Middle
ton, Massachusetts, and graduated
from Williams College. He is proud
of his native state, and one OF his most
eloquent moments was spent a few
days ago in praise of her good
name and fair fame. Senator Brown
has lost no opportunity to sneer at
the civilization of Massachusetts,. Our
two senators maintained silence under
Browns frequent castigations. They
have seemed to be dazed at the audac-
ity of the Georgian, but whether in
the interest of dignity or incompetent
cy, the Congressional Record fails to
show. At any rate they kept quiet
anu stloWtu -uts DiOWu W uaSO uiS
say without inolestation. Mr.. ingalls,
looked at the Georgia senator's per-
Torrance with a great deal of curiosi-
ty, and still more impotence. Brown
was outgrowing the confines Of Geor-
gia, and was rapidly spreading himself
all over the union. 1t was pretty thin
in spots, but still Brown was making
himself felt. This was the condition
of things when Brown put his
heavy heel on Ingalls, sore
toe. You know the remainder
of the story, AS it occurred in the
senate. ingalls, is, perhaps, the one
speeches. They are printed as they
are spoken. The ideas are framed in
splendid selection from his extensive
vocabulary, and most of his speeches
are fit to publish in a magazine. He
has, therefore. little patience with
those of his colleagues who are not
equally gifted. The Georgia senator
ga, him the opportunity. and the
country is still wondering how the
southerner could have set still in his
seat while he drew portrait, which
will stand as long as Brown is alive as
the most complete picture of his
political record. In person Ing
alls is tall and extremely
thin senator. His face is
furrowed and his sharp, black eyes
CLEAN like stars behind large specta-
Giles. lie wears mustache and
small patch of whiskers in the form of
an imperial, which serves to hide his
thin lips, but which leaves determin-
ed looking jaw exposed. Ten years
ago his hair was almost jet black, but
now it is an iron gray, rapidly whit
ening, SO that in five years more it
viii be entirely so. He is most Pc
culiar man in debate. When con-
troversy in which he is interested in
is going on, he looks hungry for the
fray. In manner he is an imposing
and most impressive speaker. His
words roll out attuned by most mag
niticently modulated voice and he
makes but few gestures, but these are
always gracefully appropriate. He has
attained distinction both as journal
ist and lawyer, but unlike Senator
Brown he is comparatively poor

Grants property. II seems that Mr..
Vanderbilt has claim GU nearly all .
Gen. Grants assets including his mil
itary war relics, and foreign presents,
and they are liable to be sold on judg-
mcnt unless Gen. Grants friends come
to the rescue. Mr.. Cyrus w. Field.
has taken steps to raise the amount
required and will no doubt succeed in
doing so AS Mr.. Vanderbilt offers to
accept 100000 for his claim, donating
$4,000 towards the fund himself.
Gen. Sherman, Geo. w. Childs and A..
j. Drexel are also interested in raising
the money, and when the arrange
ments can be made to secure the prop
erty against other creditors of Grant
4 Ward, the amount required will be
made up without any trouble.

HARPER HAPPENINGS.
10 the Editor Of the Daily Eagle:

HARPER, Kas., Jan. I, 1885.
Prof. Z. l.. Cowdrick, principal of the
public schools, returned Sunday from trip
to Lawrence, having been in attendance at
the annual meeting of the state teachers as
ISOLATION. The schools again opened Mon
day morning after the customary holiday
vacation.
Miss NJ. Z. Miller, returned Baptist mis-
sionary from Burmah, India, who is spend
ing the winter with her parents in this city,
lectured at the Presbyterian church Sunday
evening upon matters relative to that coun-
try. The church was filled to its utmost,
and many were turned away unable to gain
admission.
Mr.. G. \. Coles lately arrived in this city,
has secured lease of the new skating rink
on west Main street, and in conjunction
with Prof w. X. Ash, n professional skater,
and champion of Indiana, will, in the future
conduct that institution on thorough sys-
tematic plan. 4 rather animated rivalry
between the two Kinks now in operation will
no doubt serve to bring out ali the interest
ing and attractive features of the art. Both,
however, are literally patronized, which is
matter of some surprise in view Of the
fact that finances are considered "mightv
pinchin'.
{. A. Hutchinson, pencil pusher late of
the Daily Sentinel, departed Sunday for
Los Angeles, CAL, there to spend portion
of the winter amidst the fruits and flowers
of that beautiful cline. Hutch is 1, iourn-
alistic aspirant for whom the best wishes of
the writer follow to the ''slope."
The First national bank of Harper, which
is the successor Of the banking firm of
Thompson & Walton, began business on
the first inst, under the most favorable cir
cumstances. The list of stockholders en-
braces some twenty or more of the leading
merchants and business men of the city,
with Louis Walton, president; Sam S. Sis
son, vice-president and Geo. d. Thompson
cashier. The new notes, which are of the
denominations of tens and twenties, are now
in circulation.
Crate Justis and Tom Kennedy left Sun
day on trip to New Orleans and will of
course inspect the grea. "exposish" while
there. Quite a number of our people hold
in contemplation visit to the southern
metropolis during the coming months,
among whom | may mention Dr.. II. Martin
and wife, James Wilson and wife, John
Baumstark and wife, W. o. Graham and
wife, as well as a number of others whom
Just now cannot call TO mind.
The Lizzie Evans dramatic company is
booked for the 21st, inst, and AS it will be
decidedly the best company ever appearing
before the people OF Harper, it remains to
be determined whether our people will give
it the support true merit deserves and at the
same time pave the way for better class of
in the future.
A number of contracts are announced for
both residence and business houses to be
erected as soon as the weather will permit,
and it is quite evident that the year 1885
will see very many new and substantial bus
mess houses put upin Harper.
