CHICAGO, July 23.-Francis F. Browne,
editor Ut the Dial. has written the following
admirable poem on the death Of Grant:
.vANQUIsHED
Not by the ball or brand,
Sped by u mortal hand;
Not by the lightning stroke
Wh"n fiery tempest broke;
Not mid the ranks Of war
Fell the great cOntlucr0r!
UnmOvcd. undismaycd.
In the crash and carnage Of the canonado
Eye that dimnlcd not
Hand that failed not,
Brain that swcry3d not,
Heart that Iualetl NOT,
Steel nerve, iron form
The dauntless spirit that ovcrrnlal tho storm
While the hero TO o,cetully 81 ,cpoth
foeman to his chamber crcpt;
Lightly to the slumhercr came
Touched his brow and brcathe,l his name.
Der the stricken brow there passed
Suddenly all icy blast,
The hero worker, rose undismaycl
Saluted dcath--Rnd sheathcd his blade
The conqucrOr OF hundred fields
To mivhtier conQucrof yields
No mortal foen,an's blow
Laid tho great soldier low

Vanquishcd but by death.

most respected citizens of Cumber-

large tumor on his head. He was in

Railroad Building.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 20.-The En-
Q'ttrer publishes a Gath" interview
with railroad authority in which
the following occurs:
what do you think about future
railroad building ?" / asked.
why, railroads are going on right
now, not exactly by speculatiyo
SCHEMES, but substantial schemes.
we are building more railroads than
any portion of the world in these very
times. You must understand that
money is plentiful and cheap. but
that 1t will not take speculative di-
recll0n at present. Hence, when men
of perfectly sound fortunes or large
corporations with good credit want
money they get it cheap. Rails are
now about S27 ton, whereas good
many railroads now built paid as high
as 500 to $40 per ton, as exceedingly
cheap. Lumber and ties and bridges
are cheaper than they probably can
be for good while in the future.
Hence there is railroad building in
twenty directions at once. Railroads
are going into the interior of New
York State, they are being built in
both Northern and Southern and
y-ssiern Pennsylvania. A new rail
road is about to be constructed from
the lake shore in New York State to
Pittsburgh. The new Midland, Bal
timore & Ohio line from Columbus to
Cincinnati is nearly equipped, and
the same company is spending S12,-
600, 900 between Baltimore and Phila.
deIphia. Schemes are matured for
extensions of RAILROAD to shorten the
Chesapeake & Ohio line. The present
time is rather a picking over the
prices of exploded systems and
putting of them together like an
other puzzle"

Some Wise Cows.

The other morning, a very sultry
one, two cows came to our gate, evil
IDENTIFY on the look out for something,
and after being at first somewhat
puzzled by their pleading looks the
thought struck me that they might
be in want of water. No sooner had
this occurred to me than l had some
water brought in large vessel, which
the poor animals at once sucked up
with the greatest eagerness. The
pair then sauntered contentedly away
to a field near at hand. En- about
half an hour or so we were surprised,
and amused not a little, by seeing
our two friends marching up to the
gate, accompanied by three other
cows. The Water-tap was again call
ed into requisitiOn, and the new
corners were i'm like manner helped
literally. Then. with gratified and
repeated "boo-oo's" ian unanimous
vote of thanks), our visitors slowly
marched off to their pasturage.
1t was quite clear to US that the
first two callers, gratified at their
friendly reception, had strOlled down
to their sister gOssips and dairy COM
pOnions, ard had informed them
how cannot say, can you? -oftheir
liberal entertainment, and then had
taken the very pardonable liberty of
inviting them up to our cottage.
This morning we were again visited
by the first couple, bringing stran-
ger with them; and haye little
doubt these morning calls will be
regularly repeated ,and afford my lit =
tie household fresh pleasure in adj
ministering to their wants. The re-
markable thing, in my mind, was
the fact of the first two cows inform
ing the others, as most assuredly
they did, of the treatment they had
received. / state the simple facts.
I have in my time lived a good deal
in the country, but never remember
anything like this remarkable in
stance of the cows intelligence.

was written our four footed friends

calls, generally bringing some Ito us)

Courtesy In Business.
Depew.

AS we paid our FIVE cents for a pa
per at the counter of one of our larg-
est newsdealers the other morning, a
pleasant "Tha nix you" from the clerk
greeted US. We have thought much
about it since. We should not have
considered it discourteous il our
money had been taken mechanically.
Five cents is a small sum. But it
was very much pleasanter as il was,
and the little incident set US to think
ing on the subject we have put in
the head OF this article.
Would it not be much better all
around if there were more of courte-
sy introduced into our business deal
ings? We go into some shops and
offices where there seems to be the
most utter Indifference whether your
wants aresupplied or not. We some
times mes: officials on railways or
steamboats, who are almost brutal in
their manner, las ifa gold band around
the cap gave them the right to be in
solent and Overhearing. And then
we find others Quitethe reverse, ready
to answer civil questions ciyiIIy and
to promote the comfort of those who
are temporarily under their care. It
is needless to say that little courte-
sy goes great way in making things
smooth and agreeable.
This lesson of courtesy Is one, 1t
seems to US, that young persons en-.
tering in any capacity upon a bust
ness life ought to learn. There need
he no fawning or simpering about
it. 1t is best when thoroughly man
ly or womanly. But it certainly is
most easily acquired in youth, and it
will stand its possessor in good stead
in all after years. The courteous
clerk will rightly be the favorite
clerk.

An Old and Respectable Citizen Gone.

Michael S. burst died at his resi-
dence in the lower end of the Grants
vile district, on the 18th inst, after
long continued illness, in the sixty
second year of his age. Really he had
been an invalid for several years. He
left widow and a number of chill
dren, all grown, and most of them
gone from the parental roof. His
widow barbara ELEM was daugh-
ter of John Blocher, and always
much esteemed. The deceased was
noted for his amiabe and gentle dis
position, without enemies or enmi-
ties. 1t could not be otherwise with
one so disposed. A farmer by occu-
patton, leavinga farm of several hum
dred acres under good cultivation.
He was a son of Scion burst, and
born in Pennsylvania, within a
stones throw of the Maryland line,
so he had but few steps to make in
reaching his adopted state, where he
resided for 40 years. HIS death has
formed vacuum that will not be
readily filled. His family alliances
were very extensive as well as highly
respectable.

The judge Saw the Point.

The late Chief Justice Bigelow, of
Massachusetts, naturally hot-tem-
pered. was riding in a car which did
not stop at @ linry, where he resided,
and, as 1t was passing by, he pulled
tho rope and the train was brought
to a sudden stop. The conductor
rushed into the car and demanded {:
"Who rung the bell ?" II did,"
said the Chief Justice. "Why ?"
because / want to get off," at which
the railaoad official INDUCED in some
remarks which were not compliment
tary and hardly respectful. The
judge complained to the president of
the road. who promised to look into
the matter. When they next met
the judge demanded of the president
whether he had reprimanded the
conductor. ~ spoke to him." was
the reply, "Welly what did he say ?'
"He said that he was coming up
some day to adjourn your court"
The irate magistrate saw the point,
and did not pursue the investigation.
