A. E. KnickerbOcker is in receipt of a
copy of the Frankfort, Qnd) Times, of
the first inst. co, tanning synopsis of an
address delivered by Hon. j. c. Lint, at
the Tippecanoe battle ground. on the oc>
casion of a memorial service July 30 The
subject of the discourse was the lamented
hero Gen. Grant, and the production was
one of the most eloquent and able that
has been delivered in the land. The eulo-
gy closed in this fitting language
The loving husband; the kind father
the devoted friend; the gentle citizen; the
modest man. with an enemy to the flag
before him, was transformed into the de-
molishng conqueror.
In the quality of force and duty that
made mp his individualism it might be
said with less abSurdity than would at
first seem that be was born twins.
With the certainty of diyinely arranged
directness ne went straight to an objects
i've point. With nerves of steel and
muscles OF iron his energies never tagged.
With almost miraculous comprehensions
he took in the salient points of every sii>
uatiOn, so that his most casual doings
seemed to have been organized plans.
He was at the same time as open as the
day and the profoundest of living mys-
teries He was always wanted and never
crowded himself into affairs. The
necessities were ever on the watch and
waiting for him When duty Knocked al
the door, failure skulked IN hiding, ana
success ushered him forth in an
swer to the summons His report of done
was the sure sequel OF an order 10 do. In

THERE is this much to be said for whis>
ky-it totes fair 1t never does anything
by halves. If it elevates an individual to
ecstacy at night, it brings him back to a
realizing sense of his duties as a man and
a citizen next morning When a whisky
laden mortal lies down on the railroad
track TO woe the drowsy and awakes in
eternity after the train has passed over
him, the reporters in announcing the
event head the paragraph "Whiskys
Work." but whisky serenely continues
business at the old stand regardless alike
of grand juries or newspaperial head
lines. When drunken man falls down
an elevator shaft and on reaching the
bottom picks himself up and staggers off,
the same reporters add IF he had not
been intoxicated his death would have
