dermen met to-day. Mayor Grace sent in
communication to them calling their at
tention officially to the death of Gen. Grant,
and quoting his letter of yesterday TO Mrs.

Grant. Appropriate resolutions were then
offered. The resolutions extend sympathy
to the family of the deceased and authorize
the proper authorities TO offer a sepulchre
for the body of Gen. Grant in any of the
public parks in this city which the family
OF the deceased may select, and say that
the city hall will be draped and placed at
the disposal of the family of the deceased for
the reception of the remains. They also pro-
vide for a committee to perfect the funeral
arrangements and ordered a copy of the
resolution TO be sent to the generals fam
lily. The committee to make the necessary
preparations provided for by the resolution
was appointed. A communication was
read by Clerk Turner, who had been dis
patched to Mt. McGregor TO confer with
the family of Gen. Grant in relation to his
sepulture in one of the parks of the city. 1t

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Among the
best informed politicians at present sojourn-
ing at the capital it is stated that Dakota
and Montana will soon be added
TO the galaxy of states of the Union. 1t is
believed among the best posted that bills
for the admission CT the two territories
named will be among the earliest measures
to be considered by congress at its meeting
in December. 1t is well known that Da-
kOta territory, which now has population
andlresOurceS more than double those of any
of the Western states at the time of their
admission, has long been vigorously seek
ing for admission rs a state. 1t is
conceded in prominent Democratic circles
that it would be unwise to longer oppose
DakOta's admission into the Union. But in
order TO maintain the present political COM
plexiOn of the United States senate after
the two Republican senators shall be seated
which Dakota will, of course, send, it is
proposed to admit Montana at the same
time, which being Democratic would add
two senators to the Democratic side of the
senate The growth of these two Western
territories has been phenomenal. The as
seSSed valuation of property for taxation in
Dakota the present year is over
500, 0GO. 900, but the estimated true valua-
tion of property is over S40O, 600, 900, and
the population over half a million. The
present population of Montana is estimated
ut 1l5,OO0, which exceeds the number of
inhabitants which Nebraska, Nevada, Ore
gOn or California contained when they were
admitted as states. and il is about the same
number possessed by Iowa and Kansas
at the time when they were admitted into
the Union.

Merchandise Through Canada.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The secretary
of the treasury to-day issued the following
circular to collectors and other officers of
customs, relative to the transit of merchan-
disc through the Dominion of Canada:
Under the authority contained in section
3OO6 of the revised statutes, imported mer-
ehandise in bond or duty paid, and products
and manufactures of the United States may,
with the consent of the proper authorities
OF the British government, be transported
from one part in the United States to an
other part therein, over the territory
OF such provinces, by such routes and under
such rules, regulations and conditions as
the secretary of the treasury may prescribe.
Therefore, so much of Circular No. 3 of this
department, dated the Cd inst, as reScinded
article S44 of the customs regulations of
1884 is revoked. and said article is hereby
amended in such manner as to restrict trans
pOrtation therein referred to to American
vessels. Customs officers will be governed
accordingly. The salaries of officers sta
toned in Canada to supervise trans-ship-
ment from vessels to cars and vice versa
must be reimbursed to the government by
the transportation companies interested.

the generals throat much deeper and with
greater ease than in long time? DO you

'Well, them" resumed DR.. Douglas, 81
am going to tell you of an experience L
had with Gen. Grant on the afternoon of
Thursday, July Is. During the afternoon
Of that day the general wrote this. F" and DR..
Douglas drew from his pocket several slips,
written by the general, and read what the
sick man had written, which was as fol-
lows:
Il feel sorry at the prospect of living
through the summer and fall in the condition
/ am in. l do not think can, but may.
Except that / do not gather strength feel
quite as well from day to day as 1 have done
heretofore, but l am losing strength. / feel
1t more in the inability to move around than
in any other way, or rather in lack of desire
to try to move
''When l had read that" added DR..
Douglas, Il Cumed to the general and tried
to cheer him by telling him of the appar-
emily improved condition Of his throat and
neck, to which, in reply, the general again
wrote:
After all that. however, the disease is still
there and must be fatal in the end. Ny life
is precious, of course, TO my family. and
would be TO me if L could recover entirely.
There never was one more willing to go than
l. l know most people have first one and
| then another thing to fix up, and never get
| quite through. This was partially my case
J ] first wanted so many days 10 work on my
! book, so that the authorship would be clearly
mine. 1t was graciously granted TO me. Al
ter being apparently much lower than since,
and with capacity TO DO more work than
ever did in the same time, my work had been
done so hastily that much was left out anF l
did it all over, from the crossing OF the Jaa5es
river in 1864 to AppomattoX in 1865. Since
that have added as much as fifty pages TO
the book. ] should think there is nothing
more TO do and therefore l am not likely TO
be more ready tc go than at this moment

ssI Screams and L Sees.o


Il never speak as we pass by" This is
the revised version designed for the use, of
the young man who has to escort his girl
past an ice-cream saloon.
Merchant Traveller: John Henry saws
girl may have heart, but if she do, it's
only use is for digesting ice cream in sum
mer and oysters in winter. John Henry s
salary is fully $6 per week.
Lowell Citizen: Be not cast down, young
man, if your girl eats an enormous quantity
of ice-cream at your expense. You must
take this as some slight evidence of the
warmth of her affection for you.
Fall River Advance: 1t takes all the flavor
out of young mans ice cream when his
best girl suggests another plate and some
strawberry shOrtcake, and he remembers
that his financial horizon is bounded by II
cents and pool check.
Chicago Herald: Ice cream dealer in
Philadelphia to reporter-The reduction in
price will not make much difference in the
amount sold. Unless there's more girls,
theren be no bigger trade in ice cream than
last year. Girls are at the bottom of the
ice cream business.
New York Sun: George .(after the thea
ter)-Do you know what this ice cream is
made of?
Clara (scraping her dish)-No, George.
George-It'S made of skim milk, oleo-
margarine, corn starch, gelatine and glu-
cose.
Clara enthusiastically y)-Indeed? What
a delightful mixture it is!
