POLITICAL,

John Kelley will never return to
politics, so his wife says, and tina
ought to settle it.
The latest from Ohio is that the
Democrats will nominate Gov. Hoad-
ly in spite of his unwillingness.
Ex-senator Mcdonald is not over
confident as to Democratic success in
the fall elections, but coming thus
early he thinks defeat will open the
Presidents eyes and lead to a. change
of policy.
The 'ihungry and very thirsty" are
not pleased with the idea that the
President will condemn no offensive
partisans for whole month.
The Globe talks glibly of an ahone
and his gang of regulators. Per-
haps the Globe will show us in what
respect the Democrats of Virginia
occupy any higher ground on the debt
question than Malone.
Mr.. Wise, the Republican candidate
for Governor in Virginia, has the ad-
vantage of General Lee in that he is
campaign speaker of rare ability,
while his competitor is not an orator.
In Virginia that qualification stands
for great deal.
I. One of the speakers at tue Demo-
cratic Convention at Richmond who
aroused most enthusiasm declared that
''this is white mans country, and
the conflict between the whites and
blacks in the south is irrepressible."
That remark has the old familiar fla
vor to it.

instances where the original cost of

Der of the firm tells me that no invest
ment has paid better, and that hereafter
two vessels are to be built yearly, while
three are to be built this year. One of
the features of the sailing vessel bust
ness is that it is an almost universal rule
nowadays for the captain to have an in
terest in the craft he sails. There has
been marked change in this of late
years. Usually sober, experienced
captain has little trouble in obtaining
the assistance of friends to put up the
money for share in new vessel. for
the profits are so far assured that the in

From Manchester, N. n d.
Editors NeaUs and Citizen

Editors NeaUs and Citizen:
1t is now nearing the end of the
third year since left my home in the
valley Of the Lamoille and came to
this city, the centre of manufacturing
in the Granite State. Manchester
contains about $4,000 inhabitants.
OF the foreign population the French
take the lead in numbers, many of
them being employed in the mills.
The Irish and Germans are largely
represented in all classes of business
from the lager beer saloon to members
OF the city government. There are
also many families of Swedes and a
few Norwegians, among whom are
some worthy citizens. Vermonters
are here in large numbers, and La
noble county is not behind in the
representation. Within the past year
new police station has been built at
an expense Of some $500 or S40,-
900. The building is of brick and ell
egantly finished upon the inside. The
present matron of the institution is
Miss A. Bernette Brown, formerly of
Waterville. This building and other
public buildings in the city are draped
in mourning, with flags at half mast,
in memory of General U. S. Grant.
On Sunday last many of the churches
were beautifully draped, and at the
Franklin street Congregational church,
the pastor, Rev. DR.. Spalding, had a
very eloquent discourse upon the life
and life work Of the dead hero. Ev-
erywhere we may chance to look, we
see evidences of sympathy and sor-
row, and it is truly said "The nation
mourns." Some four miles or more
from City Hall is Lake Massabesic,
situated in the towns of Manchester
and Auburn. From this lake the city
proper receives It's supply of water.
This lake is divided into two parts,
known as front and back pond. Some
time the past spring portion of land
near the shore of the back pond be-
came loosened from its surroundings,
and fioated out into the lake, forming
an island, upon which are several
trees. This island is perhaps $50 feet
long by 100 feet wide, and is firmly
fastened upon bed of rocks several
hundred feet from the shore. It takes
the name of Mabel's Island, after the
daughter of Gen. Charles Williams,
who owns the island and land adjoin-
ing. Among the Vermonters we'll
known in Lamoille county we mention
DR.. Clarence w. Buck, formerly of
Cambridge, and Maj. D. j. Stafford,

A Proclamation by the Governor.

The sad tidings of the death of GU
illustrlous countryman, Gen. Ulysse
S. Grant have already been heraldet
by wire, through the press and by
Presidential proclamation, to The
mourning millions of the nation, ant
Saturday, the Sth day of August next
has now been authoritively designated
as the day for the national obsequies
of a bereaved people over the morta
remains of their greatest military
leader, ex-President and beloved fel
low citizen.
A people who have constantly
watched the great sufferer through
the weary months that disease has
proved in slow but fatal progression
upon him, and noted with what noble
and characteristic patience and forti-
tude he has met and endured it all,
hardly require an official suggestion
to insure a universal recognition and
observance of the nations funeral day
to our departed chieftain.
His work is done and it is done
well. Wherever his grave shall be, il
will be kept green and sacred from
age to age, as will his memory, and
the story of his great deeds.
As the leader of the nations ar.
mics, his persistency of purpose, his
sublime faith in victory for the Union
arms, his magnanimity in the hour OF
triumph, his personal integrity and
high sense of justice to his fellow
men, have placed Gen. Grants fame
high on the roll of the good as well as
the great.
He has stood not only at the head
of our armies in the great conflict fol
the nation life and as the twice Sc
lected President of the Union, but,
more than any other man, living OF
dead, he has been the honored CUES,
of all the great peoples of the worldr
and the kings and princes and inert
chants of all lands have paid him HON,
age and due reverence to his patri-
otto achievements.
1t is fitting that the people of every
State should unite their own with the
official tribute of respect ordered in
the proclamation of the President, and
do special honor to the memory of the
nations chieftain.
1 do, therefore, hereby invite the
people of this State to display en-
blems of mourning on the day of the
public funeral of Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant, and to place their flags at half
staff.
And, as a further tribute of re-
spect to his memory, recommend
that on that day the people of the
State assemble in their churches, as
sembly halls and other customary
places of eoncourse, and unite in such
pious services as may benefit the deep
solemnity of the occasion.
And 1 do hereby direct that the ma
tional flag be displayed at half staff
upon the Capitol and other public
buildings of the State, throughout the
day so designated for the national OBJ
sequies.
Dated at Hartford this 9th day of
July, A. d. 1885.

NOTES.


Maud S. has beaten her record,
having trotted mile in 2.08 ga al
Cleveland last Thursday.
In cambridge, Ga, recently Thorn
as N. Bradley, a young white man who
had married the widow of prominent
physician, was taken from jail and
lynched on the Alabama side of the
river, and his body riddled with bull
cts. He had committed unmention-
able indignities upon his wife, which
aroused the community to desperation.
A balloon collapsed at Winstead,
Conn.,, last Thursday, and when it
was about fifty feet from the ground
the basket upset, throwing the occu-
pants to the ground. The eronaut,
Prof. Brooks, was seriously, if not
fatally injured, and Mr.. Moore was
slightly injured. The latter is a
wealthy young man residing in Win
sted, and accompanied the @ronaut
for experience.
The selection of pail bearers to
Gen. Grant might have been extend
ed with great propriety to include the
two living ex-Presidents of the United
States.
The whiskey men have scored their
first victory in persuading Secretary
Manning to refer to the Attorney Gen
eral their scheme by which they hope
to evade the law and extend the time
for payment of the tax on bonded
whiskey eighteen months longer.
Presidents widows usually receive
$4,000 year from Congress-, and Mrs.
Grant will probably have similar
sum voted her.
r Gen. Grant, DR.. Prime, Sir Moses.
-Montefore, and~sel Mahdi have All
gone to their rewards within the last
few days. How different were the re-
spective careers of these four men
Their fate makes hateful the theories
of the materialist and skeptic. The
greatness of Grant, the benevolence
of Montefore, the usefulness of Prime,
the devoutness of the Mahdi are hol-
low mockeries if these men no longer
exist in their individuality. Material
lists would have us believe that human
existence is huge practical joke. 1t
certainly is if death is the end of all.
But Grant and his fellow travellers still
live.
Following is Lincoln's letter to
Grant after the battle of Vicksburg:
81 do not remember that you and I
ever met personally. I write this,
now, as a grateful Acknowledgement
for the inestimable service you have
done the country, I wish to say
word further. When you first reached
the vicinity Of Vicksburg, 1 thought
you should do what you finally did,
march the troops across the neck, run
the batteries with the transports and
thus 60 below; and I never had any
faith, except general hope, that you
knew better than l, that the Yazoo
expedition and the like could succeed.
When you got below and took Port
Gibson, Grand Gulf and vicinity, l
thought you should go down the river
and join General Banks, and when
you turned northeast, east of the
Big Black, 1 feared it was mistake.
| now wish to make personal &C
acknowledgement that you was right
and | was wrong" A. LINCOLN.

for individuals that they are on the best
of terms with themselves. Thew do NOT
always enjoy the most flattering opinion
of their associates, and therefore the
necessity for coming home for comfort.

enlighten these conceited persons on a
subject so dear to them if we might; be-
sides, they might return the compliment

ton and remove the mote from orr

better acquainted with ourselves and
