OF YOUNG GIRLS.
Measures to be Pushed Through ParIia.
ment at Once.

LONDON, July 25.
The crusade for the protection of Young
girls from the vice of the rich and titled is
rapidly extending throughout the country,
drawing in vigorous assistance from all class
es of people in behalf of the measures of leg
islation recommended by the Pail Mall
Gazette. Ii is becoming n genuine popular
movement and seems likely to carry all an
tsgonism before it Under pressure brought
TO bear on the government by a large num-
Der of members of Parliament in regard TO
the urgent necessity of amending the Grim
inal law at once by means of an amendment
bill. Sir Richard Asheton Cross, home secre-
tary, has decided to introduce a clause giving
summary powers to guardians to search all
houses were girls under l6 may be supposed
to be detained, but refused to raise the age
within the limit of which legal protection of
guardians was exercised to Is years, believ-
ing the l6 year limit sufficient to cover all
cases in which girls of normal mental tscul-
ties may be led TO vice through ignorance of
youth. IL the house should not accent the
secretsry's amendment readily. it will be
withdrawn AT once and the measure pushed
without II, AS the time at the disposal of Par
Lament before the date set for prorogation
Is not sufficient 10 admit of exhaustive dis
cusslon on subordinate points.

never heard him utter an oath nor any ap-
proach to il and was with him nine years
without ever being away from him more than
two weeks. Grant was a splendid rider and
fine whip as we'll. He could ride foar or
five hours and come in perfectly fresh and
tire out younger men. He was a man who
never winked in the face of missiles and the
only one of two men | ever saw who would
not involuntarily do so. The other was
bugler- Gen. Grant was a man of the peo-
pie. He enjoyed being among his men in
war and in peace. When riding in special
car perhaps he would go forward and take a
half seat with some passenger in the front
ear when he wanted TO smoke. Ii is sad, sad
that with ten years naturally before him such
man must needs be taken and | think the
loss will be more appreciated by the people
as time goes on"
1t Is desired that friends and the public
should know that on the morning of Tues
day, August i'h. they are At liberty TO view
the remains of Gen. Grant in the cottage par
lor where they will lie in state. On that dsv
the principal funeral service will be held at
the cottage where DR.. Newman will deliver a
funeral oraton and at that time the Presi-
dent and State Governors are expected 10 be
present. 1nterment services in New York
will be confined to the Methodist ritual
Mrs. Grant is a great sufferer. She has
not left her room since the morning of the
Generals death and of course has not seen
the body since. She is so prostrated that the
family will make no attempt to get her to
look at the body till after Wednesday when it
will be placed in the casket

MONUMENT TO GEN. GRANT.
Ex.President Hayes Suggestion To the
Grand Army of the Republic.

Fremont, O., July %.
The following letter has been sent by ex-
President HAYES:
SPECIAL GROVE, FREMONT, O., july %.
70 Gen. X. Z. Buckland, Col. William +
Haynes, Hon. + F. Dickinson:
Comrades-l am in receipt of your note OF
this morning requesting a copy of the re
marks made by me at the special meeting of
Eugene Rawson post, G. A. r.. on the occa-
sion of the death OF Gen Grant What was
said was not written. but the substance of the
suggestion made was that the G A. r.. as
the largest soldier organization in the country
an organization to which all those who faith
fully served in the Union forces are eligible,
should take the lead in building national
monument IN honor of General Grant in the
city of New York, or at the place of his
burial; that the funds for this purpose should
be raised by the cordial union in the work of
the military societies that have their origin
in the war; that the cooperation of citizens
should be sought. There is every reason to
believe that in all parts of our country-in
the South as well AS the North-a sentiment
exists in relation to Gen. Grant which at this
time will find its best expression in national
monument in the city where he resided, and
where 1t will be seen by more citizens than
at any other point which can be selected.
The subject was also presented to the Man
vile More post, and was there received with
great favor. committee was appointed to
present the proposition to the department
meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic
for the state of Ohio at Springfield in August,
If the matter is promptly pushed by the
Grand Army of the Republic, while the pub
lie mind is intensely interested in all that
concerns Gen. Grant, there is every reason
for confidence that national monument can
be built which will be worthy ot Gen. Grant
and our country.

THE CHARLES RIVER MYSTERY.
The Missing Portions of the Murdered
W"man's Body FOnnd-AIleged Idcn
tificatiOD.
BOsTON. ,July 96

BOsToN, July &c.
The latest developements in the Charles
river mystery was finding, today, of the re-
naming portions of the murdered woman's
body. The body was cut into four sections.
the trunk being severed at the waist and the
legs at the knees Today some of the pas
sengers on the East Boston ferry saw one of
the legs floating near the East Boston slip
and notified some boatmen, " ho picked il IN
AS they were returning to the wharf with it
the other leg was sighted and also recovered.
They were brought to this city and placed
with the rest of the mutlated body at the city
undertaker's. There are numerous theories
with regard to the identity of the woman and
the motive and manner of the commission of
the murder. but no facts as to the basis for
these have yet been discovered. The latest
alleged identification has been made by sew
eral people who claim that the body it that of
Rose Gilbert OF Charlestown, who has been
missing some little time. 1t is general be-
ginning to be believed that the murdered
woman moved in higher class of society
than was at first supposed and that the mur-
derer or murderess decked the body in coarse,
cheap clothing, such as there was of il, to
avoid detection. The legs when found were
entirely nude. The only defect that could
be discovered was a small bunion on the left
foot. 1t is believed that when the limbs
were thrown overheard that they too, like
the other portions of the body, were encased
in sack and that the action of the currents
or contact with some obstacle released them.
From the fact that there was absolutely moth.
ing on the limds and the scant clothing on the
rest of the body it is thought that the W oman
was Killed at night when she was undressed.

WAsHINGToN, July &c.
The National Republican, tomorrow, will
say editorially "If it could be assumed
that protests against the interment of the re-
mains of Gen. Grant in Central Park. New
York, could be of any avail, it will be the
duty as well as source of satisfaction to
give utterance to such protests. Outside of
New York, the feeling is almost universal
that Grant should not be buried in that city.
the least appropriate of all supposable places
is the pleasure ground that has been desig-
mated as his place as his sepulture, and in
New York City there is feeling that has
risen above local pride into the domain of
justice and propriety, and asserts itself in
candid declaration by a portion of the press
and people that the nation savior and idol
ought to be buried in the nations capitol;
but since the family of Gen Grant have ac-
cepted the proposition of Mayor Grace and
seem satisfied with the place proposed, we
know of no proper means that can be en-
ployed in hope Of securing reconsideration
of the question. The decision, violative as
it is to all proprieties, distasteful as it is to
the American people, regretted as it must be
in all time TO come, must be accepted and il
is not best to fill the air with complainings.
for harsh notes of dscord should not be
heard while the nation is in mourning for the
dead hero and patriot"
WASHINGTON, July 2G.

from Mt. Gregor, where he went to convey
the Presidents message to Mrs. Grant, said
in regard to the selection of Central Park as
the burial place of Gen. Grant: "Coi. Fred

stated the reasons for the choice and I am
convinced they are good and sufficient rea-
sons. just what they are am not at liberty
to state as they were explained to me in pri-
