THE BURIAL OF GEN. GRANT

The funeral services of Gen.
Grant really began on Monday last
and ended Saturday night. On the
whole it was perhaps, by far, the
most imposing funeral ceremony ever
held in America. Great as were the
ceremonies al the death of Lincoln
and of Garfield, those of last week
exceeded them. $3.50 b3a

CLOVER BOY !!

The Glover Boy is one of the most perfect horses
in Northern Vermont. Our country is flooded with
small horses of little value. Such horses are not in
great demand. Horses of HOO lbs, with good style
and action, will always be in demand at high pric-
es. 1t costs but few dollars more at the start to
raise colt to bring $500 to $780, at four years old,
than to raise one which can never bring more than
half that price at the same age.
He is now years old, beautiful bay, with black
points, 16 hands high and weighs over 1900 lbs.
He has taken first premiums at Caledonia and Or
leans County Fairs. Glover Boy was sired by
Prince Albert, Jr., his dam a Thoroughbred Bull
rush Morgan. He formerly owned in Cook
shire, p. O. and has since been taken to Broekine,
glish and imported by the Drummond A gricultural
Society at cost of $4,000 and was noted for style.
durability and speed.
The Burush Morgan is breed of horses usually
weighing HOO lbs, and are noted as the best farm
horses, superior roadsters, and for coming to ma
urity from one to two years younger than the aver
age horse.
Glover Boy will stand for the season of 1885 as
follows: rsa#

NATURAL PHILOSOPHY.

When things run smoothly, and my mental
sky
Is clear of clouds and there's no cause for
signs,
That is, when all is lovely and serene, then I
PhilosophiZe.
But when the little ills of life appear,
To poster, worry, and pile care on care;
When mere existence is sand-papered, as it
were, 7---
Why, then I swear.
When on the right side is my bank account,
And great good luck my efforts seems to
crown,
Then upward toward the sky my spirits
mount: y Es'
own the town.
But when misfortunes never seem to let
Up on me, and each move appears blum
der,
And life seems one "demnitfon grind get
AS mad as thunder.
IT'S so with most; we all can smile at strife,
AT cares and trials from which we are free:
And calmly reason DER the ills of life
We never see.
But when the clouds obscure our daily skies
And evils from Pandora's box fly thick,
Instead of stopping to philosophiZe,
We mostly kick. 80.

A COLONY OF ExlLES.

Sandy Point, the Gillian Penal Station-Its
Location; Surroundings and Resources.
Sandy Point is CHILEAN penal sta
ton, and large portion of the inhabit-
ants are exiles. When we were there
the war was still going on between
Chill and Peru, and among the prison
ers were two Americans, who had been
captured in an attempt to blow up the
Huascar with torpedoes. They came
very near being executed, but were
finally exiled. The Governor himself
was in state of semi-exile, and found
life much more agreeable in Sandy
Point than he would have done in Val
paraiso. Gold was discovered several
years ago in the mountains about two
miles from the village, and a quantity
taken out by banning, but at that time
there was no excitement about it, |

and small nuggets, the largest Of which

1t was thought that |4some of the mines
would prove to be very productive, if
properly worked, but no one there
seemed to have the money or energy to
develop them. There is4also a vein of
good coal about three miles from the
village. 1T had been worked some a
few years previously, and a railroad
had been built fromt the mine to the
wharf, but after war. broke out with

The only coal to be had there was

it ourselves. The timber on the noun

but is of fine quality, and the trunks are
of large diameter.
During the summer months it does
not rain at all, but every winter large
quantity of snow and rain falls, so that

INCREASE OF MANKIND,

The Prospective Progress of the Workin 6
Glasses During the Next Century.
The great English statistical writer,
William Giffen produced a recent paper
on THE Progress of the Working
Classes" which he introduced with a
brief general survey of number of
very valuable statistics concerning the
comparative progress of different parts
of the world, and especially of the diff
ferent countries of Europe, during
the last hundred years. The re-
searches of a French statistician, M.
Moreau de JoRnes, have made this pos
sible; and from the carefully compiled
tables of that writer Mr.. Giffen is able
to show such significant facts as these:
That the population of Europe has in
creased in a hundred years from 145,-
900, 900 to $50, 900, 900, or, if the people
of European race settled out of
Europe be added, to 420, 900, 900; that
the English race has multiplied five
fold, the Russian fourfold, the German
wo-and-a-half-fold, and the other
races of Europe in smaller proper
ton, Italy having nearly doubled, and
France and Spain having added only
about fifty per cent. to their popula-
ton in hundred years. The actual
effects of these varying rates of increase
upon political power are obvious; and
still more obvious is their prospective
effect. Circumstances may modify the
result to certain extent, but on the
whole there is not much reason to
doubt, as Mr.. Giffen puts it, that sin
another century there will be nearly
8OO,000,0 900 of the British race with
the German blend) in the world while
the Russian race, apart from conquest,
will not exceed 100000, 900, and the
others, increasing more slowly still,
will lag far behind" France century
hence will probably number about 49,
100000 against 36,5O0,OOO now, and
Spain 22,O00,0O0 against 1900, 900
now, and Australia 3O,OOO,OO to
3,0O0,0o0 now.-Chtcago Tribune.

The Atlanta Pay.Car Robbery.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 1.-THE daring
theft OF the pay car of the Richmond
and Danville Railroad from the paesen.
ger depot in this city, FOR q tionhsnt
balfled'the skill of the police officers, but
the ahrewdest ones among them had 10
hesitancy in singing out Charlie Rose,
An ex.yardmaster Of the road, as the
leader Of the desperadoes. They at once
began acting upon this suspicion, evi.
dcntly under Information received from
paymaster Groser, and before night the
circumstances brought together left no
doubt as to Rose's guilt. At midDight,
before the train was stolen, Charlie Rose,
with five companions, was seen near the
stolen engine. When Paymaster Groser
awoke and found his car in motion. be
put his head out OF the window and
called out:
Where are you going?"
you are the man we want, d-n you"
was the response, rs four shots were fred
in the direction of the affrighted pay
master.
Il know you, Charlie Rose," replied
Groser, as he realized that he was in the
hands of thieves. For three years
Groser had carried the name of Rose on
hia payroll, taking his receipt every
month, SO there could be no mistake In
his Identification. Tho police at once
fell upon the trail of the desperate and
his companions who were fleeing through
the country behind Stone Mountain
toward Gwinnett, where Rose formerly
lived, aud tue news Of his arrest is mo.
mentarily expected. Nolan. whose
arrest has been previously noted, was a
companion of Charlie Rose. A notable
arrest was that of David Fossett, a dis.
charged colored employee of the Rich.
mond and Danville Road, which was
made during the DAY. In his pocket was
found the missing switch key, with which
the switch was thrown open to allow the
engine to run back to the pay car.
The story CT Charlie Rose ia one of
strange tragic Interest. One year ago he
lived in Atlanta with his wife Jennie,
aud his cousin, Nancy frazer. The
shocking story of the murder of his wife,
of the implication in that crime Of Nancy
Frazer and Clara Suggs, of the death of
Nancy after giving birth to child with
a scar occupying the place of one eye,
and the rapid downfall and final miser
able death Of Clara, is familiar to the
readers Of the Ncws and Courier. Char
lie Rose, grown insolent since the death
of the two witnesses against him,
returned to the city and has lived the
life Of yagabond. He was discarded
by the Richmond and Danyille Compa.
ny, and this led him into q formation of
tho conspiracy to steal the pay car on
its next arrival in the city. His com.
panions, all Of whom are now located by
the police, are discharged employees Of
tue same road. Rose is q graceless, hap.
py.golucky scamp, confident in the be.
lief that he can, for the second time,
defy the law.
The officers came close upon Charlie
Rose this morning in Gwinnett County,
but he again eluded them.

LOCAL OPTION IN GEORGIA.

The House of Representatives of our
sister State, Georgia, last Friday passed
q general local option whiskey law, by
vote of Ill to %.
The Bill, as passed the House, provides
that in eny County, not already having
Prohibition in some form or other, there
may be an election every two years until
whiskey is run out, and that wien ii is
once out it is out to stay.
There was considerable discussion on
the Bill, and the same arguments used
against 1t that we often hear in our State,
yet the people Of Georgia through her
Representatives in the House have
spoken, and in no uncertain words, that
the whiskey traffic must be suppressed.
Tho Bill was ordered sent to the Senate
where it will doubtless pass.
We are glad to SEQ our sister State
take such bold stand for the cause of
Temperance, and hope that the day is
not distant when South Carolina will
fellow the example. Her citizens now
and then speak out in no unmistakable
terms in favor of Prohibition. The
friends of Temperance in Anderson
County only await the opportunity to
make u bold fight against whiskey, and
by their votes to say that they are
unwilling for the whiskcy traffic to be
carried on in this County. When the
issue comes, as come it must, they can.
not fail, for the fight Is in the interest of
morality and prosperity, Of manhood
and the youth of our land, and Of the
wives and mothers Of all our citizens.
Thus, let the issue como as soon as prac.
ticable.

Chewing Tobacco In Church,

Mr.. EDITOR: fnever know that man
was the nastiest thing on earth which
God created until few days since. Ban
undoubtedly is the manifest of all nasties
known to woman, at least and yet some
men, in aome places, are very nice at
times. When ne is visiting your house
he will, Of course, take off his hat at the
door, and take his Good of tobacco out of
hiu mouth, throw it away and walk into
the parlor with such a smile upon his
countenance that you at once pronounce
him nice gentleman. And so he Is and
would be so long as he remained in your
house. Ho would not think OF taking o
chew Of tobacco or smoking while he 70.

you; he would not think of such thing
for moment. Why2 Because he has
no desire to insult you, aud for many rea.
sons not necessary to mention.
Now, il msn can be aud ia such nice
bling at your house, why 10 !. that he
will so unceremonioualy abrse house
that belongs TO all who choose to visit it
that is, the Church. When I see a
Church stained with puddles of tobacco
juice feel ashamed Of my fellow. men.
If man would think only once where
he was-not only In the house of God,
but in the presence of the very ladies
whose duty 1t Is to Zee after the cleanli.
ness of the Church Did I say it was
the duty of tho ladies to SEQ after the
Church? Whether 1t is their duty or
not thoy have to do 1t In self.defence.
If the ladies were to stay away from
Church one year, don't believe the men
could get out of the building with decent
clothes. If they had TO wear lady's
dress am sure they could not.
Now, I have saw lately pools of to.
bacco juice almost deep enough to drown
o yearling duck-in the Church, in Gods
aouse. l havo seen lady's white dress
so badly smeared that she had to pin n
handkerchief on her dress to hide the
dirty stain from the view of these tobacco
factories who are waiting outside, ready
to make remark about the unfortunate
one.
If I were to make the assertion that no
gentleman would chew and spit on my
floor, everybody would say that I was
correct. If were to throw him out for
splitting upon my furniture you would

That Stroke Of lightning.

Mr.. E.. G. Scheafar, who was struck
by lightning on the Goth ult., In now
able to be Mt work and has moved his
shoe shop to the room over the brick
stable in rear of DR.. Browns drug store,
known as "Earle's" stables. We called
at his shop on Monday last and he gave
lis the following account of the stroke:
lie stated that on the evening of the
storm he went to the door and looked
out and saw very angry looking clouds
overhead, with lightning flashing In every
direction he closed the door and was
standing in the floor leaning on q chair,
whom he received shock that turned
him completely around and he fell to
the floor. 1t was ell done so quickly he
could not perceive that the lightning had
struck the rear end Of his shop, torn q
hole through the wall, entered and given
him shaking up. He again got on his
feet and examined the wreck OF his shop,
and looked out and saw where the light.
ming had torn up tree In trout. He
won: to "Earle's" stables aud told his
story, when Mr.. Dick Richardson and
others accompanied him back to see
where the lightning had struck the
building. The room seemed to have q
sulphurous smell.
All of this time he did not know he,
was injured, but only felt little dazed.
Soon after, however, his feet began to
swell and Mr.. Rose carried him home in
buggy, as he could not wear his shoes
on account of the swelling. After his
arrival home, he examined his feet,
which were paining him very much aud
found hole In each heel. He sent for
Doctor r. III. Rutledge, who arrived the
navt vnnrninp ooA lro,co1 ,,or,Ia
Ho pulled of his shces and snowed us
the wounds In the bottom of his heels,
which are not fast curing up. He stated
thst they were ragged at the edge as if
made by the exit of bullet, the size Of
ones little finger. They were not probed,
therefore he did not know how deep they
extended. Water aud blood oozed from
the wound for about ten days.
He also showed US the shoes he wore
on the occasion. In the heel of each
shoe was an indenture as If made by
bullet. One of the sides Of one of the
ahoe soles was torn off and the other vas
torn on the upper where 1t connects with
the sole.
MIR. Scheaffar also stated there was no
mark or scar on his person except those
mentioned ard small hurt on one of
his toes OF the bottom; He Ia now about
well, having only Q slight dizziness In his
head. He resides threo miles from the
city on the Laureus road, and has been
working In this city for several years.
DR.. Rutledge's statement Of the affair
corroborates that OF Mr.. Scheaffar, and
the Doctor says he cannot account for
the lightning entering the mans body
without breaking tho skin, aa It evidently
