is answered that the proposed improye+
ment is not for local benefit, but for the
general benefit, and especial benefit of
those who are required to transact busi-
nesss at the ChilGren's Home. If it is
held that the people of Warren township
should make the proposed improvement
for the benefit of public institution,
the citizens of Warren answer that for
years they have paid large sums for
building bridges in various localities, and
except in single instance, have these
Improvements been of any local benefit
to them.
The estimated cost of the road is about
$4,000, One-tifth of which will be paid

CONCLUSION,
to say, that have, in the series of let

only able to notice a very small number
comparatively, of the exhibits, and a very
meager description of this great World s

days on the grounds-noticed the unPre-
pared and incomplete condition of many

and attractions to be seen at each sue
ceeding visit. 1t has overcome the de-
fects by getting everything into COM
plete running order, and has been fol
several weeks in state of completeness
The number of visitors has not been IN
proportion to the excellence of the dis
play-it rarely exceeds 12.O00-it ought
to be much greater, and probably would
be if the real attractions were under
stood. The grounds present floral at
fractions gathered from all parts of the
semi-tropicai and even tropical latitudes
brought together, as they, probably, new.
er have been elsewhere. The exhibition
itself, in its most important features, far
excels, in my judgment, anything ever
seen before on this continent, and sur
passes in Interest for Americans any
thing in the shape of Worlds Fair ev
er held, and not likely to be reproduced
with the same fullnesS in our time; un-
less perchance it should be arranged for
this one to open up again next fall.
There are yet nearly two months before
the close. Our great Northwest and far
Western States, together with the South
ern States, and our sister Republic of
Mexico, have taken the deepest interest
in this exposition. There ought to be a
larger number of visitors here from the
great Northeast they will find the city
attractive, the accommodations ample,
and the people hospitable. friendly, gen.
erous and kind. Whatever may be the
financial outcome of the enterprise, it
will, think, serve its highest purposes,
not the least of which is to bring about
better understanding and a closer SYM
pathy between the different sections of
our glorious Republic. H. G. W.

On Tuesday, General Grant was strong
er and better than for several days pre-
vious, and sat some time in the library
reading the morning papers. Soon after
the morning bulletin had been issued by
DR.. Douglas, the General bade the SER
want to bring him a piece of writing
paper. On it he wrote with his OWL
hand bulletin, as follows:
81 am better this morning. 1 am bettel
than have been in two weeks.
(Signed U. 5. GRANT"
During the afternoon aud evening, ht
walked several times from his bed room
to his library, and enjoyed the company
of different members of his family. He
may live for several weeks. If he con-
tinuss to improve, in few days he will
be driven out to the park.

On Wednesday, the Queen of England
cabled Mrs. Grant her sympathy, in the
following words, from the DowageI
Marchiohess of Ely:
"To Mrs. Grant and General Grant, New
York:
The Queen, who feels deeply for you
in your anxiety, commands me to in
quire after Gen. Grant.
The following reply was sent by Col
Fred Grant:
MRS. Grant thanks the Queen for her
sympathy. and directs me to say thai
General Grant is no better"
F.. This is the third time in twenty years
that Queen Victoria has joined in ouI
Nation's griefs. Her tender letter tC
Mrs. Lincoln, her deep anxiety mani
tested while Garfield struggled witt
death, and this message of coincidence tC
Mrs. Grant, deepens the respect and ad
miration in which Queen Victoria is
held by the American people.
