THE Nation mourns its greatest
soldier and one of its most devoted
sons. From ocean to ocean, and
from the lakes to the gulf the words
of sorrow and of eulogy well forth
from every heart and are uttered by
every tongue. The victorious leader
of our soldiers in war and OF the
people in peace. he was in very deco
a popular idol. His long and pain
ful struggle with disease has been
anxiously watched for months, and
his last days have been cheered by
universal manifestations of esteem
and affection. Few men have been
vouchsafed SO memorable part IN
the worlds history, and none have
passed through greater vlcissitudes
and trials and retained so large a
measure of public love and respect
In this hour, when the Nation stands
at his bier, ali animosities are still
ed the recollections of partisan
strife are put aside, and retrospec-
tive view Of the past calls up to
every heart only recollections of his
prowess, his elemency, his magma
nirnity, his indomitable will and
his pure personal character. This
is not the time to speak of the ca
reer OF General Grant, nor can i'm
partial criticisms of the deeds of his
eventful life be expected while so
many participants in its most stir
ring scenes yet survive; but when
these have joined the innumerable
caravan to the tomb, and the bitter
and passionate memories OF this
generation have faded out, impair
tial history will write upon its en-
during scroll his unrivaled deeds,
his patriotic services, and his devo-
ton to country. He will live in the
memory of the Nation not only by
reason of his heroic services, but be-
cause the love which his personal
traits engenuered in the hearts OF
his countrymen will be transmitted
from generation to generation by the
recital of his deeds of peace.
The last struggle is over; the great
est General of the age has fallen be-
fore the universal enemy, to whom
at last all must succumb, and when
hereafter this Nation calls the roll
of its mighty dead, the names OF
Washington and of Lincoln and OF
Grant will forever head the column.

{ MT. McGREGoR, July 24.-Dr.

sOn their arrival the patient was
Sfound in very prostrated condi-
ation, with feeble and frequent pulse,
9rapid respiration and inability to
sswallow. He was suffering no pain,
abut by his listless manner was ap-
zparently conscious that death was
approaching. 1t was decided to
sustain his vital powers to the ut
zmost and make his approaching end
sas comfortable as possible. The dis
aposition to cough had ceased, and
3tbe respiration, although much ac-
federated, was not mechanically
Simpeded by accumulated mucus
asecreti ons. At the time OF the con-
ssulta:ion he was in his easy chair,
occupied SO constantly by him day
gand night for the past five months.
Stewards evening, by his own re-
squest, he was transferred to his bed,I
awhere he rested quietly until his,
sdeath.
As was anticipated by the medi-I
/ cal gentlemen in attendance, he con
.tinued to sink despite the stimuli
slants locally applied and hypoder-i
I smically administered. His fear of
"a painful and agonizing death wasl
3bappily for him and his family, notI

TOKENS OF MOURNING.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 23.--
Shortly after s o'clock this morning
the President was informed OF the
death of General Grant. He imme-
diately directed that the flag on the
White House should be placed at
half mast. The lowering of the flag
was the first intimation that the citi-
zens of Washington had ofthe death
of the distinguished man, although
they had been anticipating it
Throughout the night
A few minutes after the White
House flag was placed at half mast
the flags on all the public buildings
and on many private dwellings, were
placed in like position. The bells Of
the city were tolled, and citizens who
heard them readily recognized their
meaning. Business men immedi-
itely began draping thei. stores and
residences with mourning to show
their esteem for the deceased.
While the bells tolled, President
cleveland sent the following dispatch
TO Mrs. Grant at Mount McGregor !:
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1885-07-29

Sthe entire matter of choosing a bur

Fred, that gentleman, after confer
ence with the family on all points

1t is now determined that the obse

claims of the people and the natioI
TO do honor to the remains of Gen
eral Grant, but there is a feeling
that before all the pomp and pag
cant of burial the family should
have their dead all by themselve
for a season of.service. The famil,
would be alone when the funeral
service is held and before the re

held here in the cottage, at suct
time as may seem best. DR.. New

.RaiIrOad Dick

In one of the large towns on the Penn.
sylvania railroad there lived. uutil year
or two ago, an old negro named = Rail-
road Dick
Dicks self -appointed task in life was
TO "see de trains in safe In front OF
the station at this place run eight or ten
tracks, which cross busy thoroughfare.
Dick made it his business to meet each
incoming train, and run before it to
clear the track Of any chance impede
ment. Passengers would hold their
breath in terror to see the STOPPING,
ragged figure, with white hair flying and
arms outstretched, running in kind of
dog trot Before the engine, in the posi-
bic danger Of being crushed to death.
No remonstrance or reproof could COM
pei old Dick to give up his perilous
task. 1t had not been a useless one.
Twice he had removed distinctions from
the track which would have wrecked the
trains. Once he had dragged man,
who had fallen upon the rails, to place
of safety, and three times he had saved
the lives of children.
''Ole Dicks got his wohk, sah!" he
would say, when told of his danger.
1t never left the station. The railway
officials made protege of the old man,
and gave him comfortable room in
which to sleep back of the engine house,
and standing order for meals at the
restaurateur's. But Dick preferred to
take his bread and bone in his fingers,
to be eaten as he squatted on the floor Of
the station.
'sDem paid fcllahs takes turns, but
Use always on guard. = he said.
Dick probably grew stiff and feeble
from old age, and the time came at last
which everybody had looked for. He
was caught by the cow-catcher of an
engine, thrown against the rocks, and
carried to his room dying. He fingered
for few hours. With each roar aud
shrek that announced an incoming
train, he would struggle to rise.
.'De's lots of chillren on dem tracks,
Lemme 60! Ole Dicks got his work to
dow
When told that he must die, he lay
silent for long time, and said finally:
= 'Pars like de's nobody to take up jes'
my wohk But de Lohd'll see to it, !"
and so, closing his eyes, his work was
over.
The toughest employees on the road
were better men for having known this
poor. unsel6sh negro, who, simply and
according to his light, faithfully did the
work which he thought had beeu
given him to do Youths Companion.

There are villages along the wild

The other day, one OF the boys who
pack their grips and go out into the wide

was riding in one of the elegant trains of
the Chicago and Alton railroad, when a
pretty country lass boarded the train at
small station. She had not been long
in her chair, when she turned half around

the passengers, as if to say: - wish /
