Washington, Oct. 27--George 3. Tor
rance, Of Cattaragns county, New York,
was q member of the seyentS-seeona
New York volunteers, and was twice
wounded in battle. He is a republican,
q member of tho G. A. R., and has mover
hesitated to declare his political con-
v~ictions. For some years he has been q
clerk in the treasury department, and
discharged his duties faithfully and Ell
f~iciently, and was considerably surprised
to find one morning upon his desk o
letter announcing that he had been dis
charged two days before. He was not
notified that his dismissal was contemp-
lated, and was allowed TO continue In
the performance OF his duties for forty
eight hours after his salary stopped.
He went to First Auditor Chenowith to
inquire the cause of his dismissal, and
was told that New York had several
clerks in the bureau, while the south
ern states were hot adequately repre-
scented. and he was dismissed 30 as to
give way for a southern man. There
was no complaint of the manner in
which he had performed his duties. and
Mr. Chenowith agreed to give him Q
certificate to that effect, which wal
written and presented in the following
form
To whom it may concern: Mr.
George s. Torrance was for sometime
clerk in this bureau, and was discharged
by the secretary of the treasury on tn,
ed instant. 1t is due to him to ga.
that there were no charges OF any kim
preferred against Mr.. Torrance. and tia
his character as q gentleman is not frs
class. His discharge was made neces
sary by o desire alone to diminish th'
force in the department to the demand
of the service.

The selection of Central Park as
the burial place of Gen. Grant will
not strike the great majority of the
American people favorably. Cen
trail Park is simply the great pleas
ure ground Of New York city, and
if it were a suitable burial place for
anybody, which it is not, it could
not be for the remains of a man
whose fame belongs to the nation.
The national government, and not
the city of New York, should erect
the mausoleum that is to contain
the remains of h soldier who pre-
served it, and the location should be
at the capital of the nation. It a
purely private resting place is in
tended, then the wishes of the fam
lily should be final and the public
has no right to raise its voice, but
the selection Of Central Park mega
tives any idea that such is the case
and consequently the public has a
right to express its opinion in the
matter.

one common grave. Here is mar
BILE stone bearing the date 1868 in
memory of one who lies in a South

stone dated 1854 marks his mothers
grave, the mother buried so soon
after her martyred son, and so far
away from his grave. Is she with
him now? Does she know him
there? All, yes. He who bid them
on this earthly path love each other
has but clasped the chain the closer.
The old man, the loving mother,
the youthful maiden and the sweet
babe have all come to their final
resting place together.

The living alone have lost and
are lonely. Here is the old sexton
covering a new grave meath a clump
of willow trees in a secluded corner
What can this mean? Nobody here
save the old sexton. The grave a
little one apart from the rest and
alone among the willows. A grave
among other graves and yet alone.
! We will ask him whose child he is
burying. The old man actually
starts when we speak to him. What,
don't know whose child! Gods
child there, nobody's child here. A
little girl left at the poorhouse in
the darkness to die. All, little babe,
yours was not the sin and yours
will not be the punishment. How
much better to be lying here where
the willows are ever softly weeping,
than to tread with tired feet that
lonely road and bear in pain and
anguish the sin of others.
"Ah, saints In heaven may pray with earnest
will,
And pity for their weak and erring brothers
Yet there is prayer in heaven more tender

The zeal with which some of the
most persistent newspaper perse-

Grant make haste to crowd forward
and ostentatiousIy wiring their
hands and weep over General Grants
death is quite noticeable. While he
was in public life they accused him
of Cesarism and nepotism and never
ceased to follow him with uplifted
jayelin until the stamp Of death was
on his brow. Now that he is dead
aid the whole civilized world stands
in sorrow about the death chamber,
the most conspicuous mourners are
these jayelin throwers. Is it re-
morse or a prudential regard for
public opinion that has caused this
great and notable change of front
