The End at Last.

Gen. GRANT died at Mt. McGregor
last Thursday morning at sos after
months of suspense. during which time
hope had disappeared and medical skill
stood pOwerleSS to do more than watch
for the result and ease the SufferlngS OF
the last hours. The great Captain who
led armies to battle, and whose laurels
were won on fields of blood, died peace
fully in his bed, surrounded by q loving
family and sOrrOwins friends. The
air is full of farewells and MORNINGS
for the dead" Yet all over the civil
lied world people will hush their private
griefs to join in the National sorrow
over the passing away Of the successful
leader of the armies of the Republic
whose mission was to prove to mankind
that Government Of the People, by
the People and for the People was not
to be failure. The South fully vies
with the North in its expressions OF
sympathy for the bereaved family
The following from the Georgia 1drer-
ttser is an index to the whole Southern
feeling:
"A splendid sun has set, it, light l. out and IFS
dark places have followed it, bright ones below the
trees and hill. IL went down lingcringly, as II IN
pain with parting from the scenes il lighted, Win
more OF majesty in it, gathering gloom than H.
noon had ever known. Those on whose downfall
the temple OF his fame builded VIII SOW no
thorns on his grave 10 prick the yiOlets planted
by his people there. Whatever were his fanits,
his errors and his failures, but yesterday he stood
in the ewes Of all the world the foremost figure OF
the Western Continent. His career was finished
long years before he died, and when, nine months
agO,the wings of deaths angel blew breath against
his cheek to warn OF hiS coming doom, ne was
already an old man around whose darkened lie
had gathered the sympathy and pity Of all men.
Looking at the life and character Of Gen. Grant
from the broadcast national standpoint, 1t i true
10 say that no man since Washington has better
illustrated the genius OF American institutions or
the temper OF Americans a. people. The close
Of his military career was in generous treat
ment OF his fallen foe thai sent thrill OF greattuI
recognition through the heart Of the South. His
conduct towards Gen Lee and the Southern army
at AppOmattOx, and his firm stand In defense OF
their rights prisoners and hls own honor as u
eoldier will always Dc model for the action OF
other victorious leaders and j. green leaf that
hides many shadow on hiS subsequent career.
But amid il all no personal prostitution of his
place for money has ever been traced to his door.
lie never shirked responsibility, never deserted
q friend, was an honest soldier and made no war
on women"
Riverside Park, in place of Central
Park, has been selected for the burial
place of Gen. Grant. For a more eX-
tended notice of his death and biOgra-

Brown City Budget.

On Tuesday evening April 28th,
our inhabitants were startled with
the announcement of tie death of
Mrs. Jas Wallace, wife Of Rev. Jas
Wallace of this place. Great is the
affection. The above family con.
sisted of father, mother, son and
daughter. The daughter who is a
particular favorite, has been lying
dangerously i'll for the past two
weeks and was being nursed and
watched over by her pai ents by day
and by night and great was the joy
of those fond parents wien they saw
a change for the better; Tut little
did they think that i'll forty-eight
hours that fond mother, the great
stand by of all our happy homes,
would be numbered with the dead
On Sunday the deceased noticed a
small scar on her right hand swell
ing and paining which increased
very rapidly, the cause OF death be-
ing blood poisoning. She suffered
untold agony but bore up bravel!
and conscious of her approaching
death consigned herself into the
hands of our maker for whom she
has been an active servent for up.
wards of twenty years. The little
church was draped in deep mourn
ing and presented very sad spec.
tacle. The scene at the house war
one that made the tears trickle down
the cheeks of slrong men who per.
haps never shed tear before. When
the casket containing that fond
mother, asleep in death was carried
to the bedside of her daughter who
had to be raised from her pillow to
Laze for the last time on all that was
nearest and dearest to her, calmly
did she view the remains and the
tears started down her cheeks but
in the words her parents have taught
her she said; "Not my will but thine
be DONE" The family have the sym.
pathy of the whole community.
Our little city is booming. Build
ing material is being placed on
about a dozen different lots for as
many different dwellings and bust
ness places.
Mr.. Cottington is re-ftting his
saw mill and will be ready for all
corners in about one week.

In sets of muff and collar, otter and
beaver are the favorite furs. The mutfs
are small and though some deep shoulder
capeS in fur are shown the preference is for
b0as, narrow collars and little tippetS. A
pretty little set in otter had a narrow col
lar turning down over two narrow tabs,
which come down in front halfway to the
waist line. But the most fascinating and
jarntieSt little thing was narrow collar
with tabs long enough to reach the waist,
where they tlared out a little in width. end
ing in tiny flat muff. This was whole and
slipped over the head when put on, though
others in fine same style were put on like
any collar, merely fastening with hooks
down the length of the tabs. There is a
revival also of the long, round boas which
our mothers used to wind about their neckS
when they were girls. Some very odd ones
are made of ''cross sections or slices of
squirrels tails strung. There's ingenuity
for you! They were dyed dark brown, and
the pieces were so arranged that the boas
were graduated in size down to the tips.
Most stylish among these boas, however,
was one made of tapped bear, very dark
brown in color. The boa was opened out
flat for short space directly in the back,
thus fitting the neck perfectly, and fastened
in front with large hook. 1t was very
long, the ends hanging far below the waist,
and the long fluffy hair stood out like a
''cheval de frise" mo pun intended) against
the cold in manner that one would be
tempted to call lawfully Stylish" provided
one ever used such slang. The poor bears
have to suffer this year, for their skins have
become very popular, not only with ladies'
for furs, but for rugs and a variety of things
1t is the common bear found in New Bruins
beet.

lar abroad, and is common among the best
manufacturers here. With thick, long,
close fur like skunk or bear the effect is to
improve them greatly, making them lighter
and ''tiutfier.'
The short, perfectly plain jackets of va
rlous sorts of fur, especially sealskin and
Persiana, are very jaunty and stylish this
year. They are of good shape and fit nicely,
and the ''Persiana' and astrakhan have the
merit of being new this season. Both those
and the seal jacket may be varied and orna-
mented in numberless ways by using some
of the varied trimmings to be found in the
shops. A pretty idea is shown in the cut,
where short jaunty jacket of sealskin
opens over vest of otter.
