STATE OF KANSAS,

Gen. Grant:
STATE OF KANSAS,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
On Monday next, April 9th, Ulysses
,. Grant will celebrate his SD birth
day.
For many weary weeks the great
soldier has been nigh unto death. Fight
ing q desperate battle with disease, he
has, in the silence and gloom of his
sick room illustrated the same high
courage and determination be exhibited
as he watched his soldiers climbing the
slopes of Mission Ridge, or directed
their movements through the dense for
est of the.wilderness. Now the indica-
tions justify hope that his life may be
spared for many years TO come.
The career of Ulysses s. Grant affords
q signal example of the possibilities OF
American citizenship. Born in obscurity
and poverty, he rose to the sun-bright
heights Of fame, and brought peace to q
despairing country, and victory to 9
great and noble cause. Through
all the light and shadows of his WondOr-
full history he has remained the same
modest and faithful man, as undaZZled
by the light as he was patient in the
darkness. Adversely did not sour him
danger could not daunt, and power failed
to corrupt him.
During many long and terrible years
he was ''as the shadow of q great rock
In a weary LAND, ;" and his countrymen,
as long as time shall endure, will regard
as priceless legacy the lesson of his
life, that truth, courage and patriotism
endure forever.
The adjutant general of the state is di.
rected to cause the flag to be raised over
the capitol, and a salute of sixty-three
guns TO be fired in the state house
grounds on Monday. April q, in honor
of the birthday of the ex-president and
general, Ulysses Simpson Grant.
In testimony whereof, have hereuntc
subscribed my name and caused to bt
affixed the great seal of the state. Done
at Topeka, this 23d day of April, in the
year of our LORD, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-five, and of the in
dependence of the United States the one
hundred and eighth.
