LATEST NEWS SUMMARY.
Gen. Grant Removed from New York.

Gen. Grant Removed from New York.
Gen. Grant has made the journey from
New York to Mount Nc Greg in safety, and
so far as the present is concerned the trip
had no apparent effect upon his condition.
Mount McGregor, is on the mountains,
twelve miles from Saratoga. He occupies
there a cottage rendered by DreXci the bank
er. 1t is considered a very healthy loc%-
ton.
The journey to McGregor was very fottgu
ing. A dispatch says that when Gen. Grant
lett his house in New York he made no
effort to lit his feet at all as he crossed the
sidewalk, but shuttied along as if it required
great strength to move at all, and caned
heavily upon the thick cane he always car
ries. Speed was the main object OF the en-
gineer and he sent the train rafting at a
mile-a-nGnute rate almost Immediately.
As the train passed Gen. Grant made an
effort to speak to DR., Douglass, who was at
his side. but failed. He seemed ~disappOlnt-
ed when he found that he could not be UNI
derstood. He closed his eyes and laid back
in his chair as m~otionlcss as If he was dead,
until Saratoga was reached. The shout OF
the crowd in the station aroused him as the
train entered and proceeded slowly up to
where the Mount McGrcgor train vas wait
ing for him.
Gen. Grant stepped from the car unaided,
and declining assistance, grasped the iron
railing of the other, and pulled himself on
to the platform. The iourneyupthetwelve
miles OF mountain road was the most ia
tiguing part of the whole trip. 1t was easy
to see, however, that he was beginning TO
feel distressed, especially as the heat was
intense. He showed no disposition, how
ever, to let others know OF his trouble,
and when the train finally stopped at
Mount McGregOr station he walked
brayely up the incline toward the
house for a hundred feet or more, when he
had to give up and seat himself in a chair.
DR., Douglass remained the entire evening
with Gen. Grant, who, despite fatigue, was
wakeful until 10 o'clock. His throat was
then painted with c~ocoaine, and he settled
for the night. DR.. Douglas retired to an adj
joining room, though he has rooms at the
hotel, and the nurse was left to watch with
the general.

Interesting Scene in a Texan Court.

AFight occurred in the district court room
at Fort Worth, Texas, which came near re-
sulting fatally. Young Stevens was on
trial for the murder of DR.. Wallace at
Mansfield. Henry Furman, leading counsel
FOR the defense, became embroiled in a
controversy with County Attorney Bowlin.
They finally came TO blows. The court
room was quickly emptied. Both men
were undoubtedly armed and each one
waiting for the other to draw. In the
midst of this confusion Judge Beck
man leaped from the bench into the
arena AS he did SO Lawyer Weare,
who is associated with Bowen in
the prosecution, excitedly struck tine
Judge a very severe blow under the ear.
The court was dazed for an instant, but be-
ing a powerful man, instantly recovered his
balance, and knocked Weare down. Turn.
ing his attention to the principal combat
ants, who by this time had clinched and
were chewing each others ears and cheeks,
the judge commanded the jury to arise and
quell the riot. At the same time the court
seized one of the contestants, and twoiury-
men another, thus separating them. Fur
man and Bowlan were fined $50 each for
contempt, after which the court immedi.
ately adjourned. The court did not fine
Weare.

It is significant Of the relations be-
tween the rich and the poor in Great
Britain, and Of the growing discomfort
in that country respecting the present
system Of land ownership, that q royal

broad actthatLondon is, inthe strict
sense, overpopulated, andthat a final
remedy is only to be looked for in
such q reform Of Jul land system as
will redress i epresent unequalb balance
between town and country, and stop

that the total wheat crop of Kansas

The Dublin Freeman's Journal publishes
a long interview with Bishop 0'Conner OF
Nebraska and Wyoming in which the pre-
late de~precates extensive Irish immigration.
The bishop says:
For two-thirds of tbS people who leave
Ireland as emjgrants TO America, the change
a misfortune and hardship OF a most
terrible kind, beside a novel egration more
appalling. In the great cities of the east
Irish sink daily until they be
CONF the scum of the population, without
money and without friends. In this con-
dition they are compelled to do the hard
est and most mental labor and from this
position they can seldom rise. III they go
west their prospects are scarcely any bet
ter. In the west there is, OF course, land in
abundance, but this land must now be pur-
chased, and the Irish emigrant has no
money"
In commenting on the surprising declara.
tions made in the interview, the Journal
expresses the hope that the statements
may save many Irishmen from misery and
ruin beyond the Atlantic.

COurtship and Marriage.

With an honorable girl and an honorable
man, an engagement carries with it more
than a few sunny months of cOurtship
After courtsh,p comes marriage; after
marriage comes the home. To describe
the reasons which to some young people
EN- quite sufficient to justify theTil, first
is flirting and then in getting 'engaged,"
would answer no good purposes. But pns
ting aside the indirect manner in which
writers address their readers, let me speak
frankly to you, as friend to friend. Let
me ask you to consider what you must have
in your future wife, to make it even tolera-
BILE to spend twenty or thirty or forty years
together. | will not insist on the elements
which are necessary to the romantic perfec
tion of married life; for most of US are
commonplace people, and a life OF romance
is beyond our reach. There are some very
commonplace things you ought to make
sure of.
Next to truthfulness, temperance, indus
try and courage Then fortitude; that is
the power to bear pain and trouble without
whining. Then unselfshness; for the sell
fish man, the selfish girl, though drawn out
of sefishness in the early weeks of court
ship, will settle back into it again when the
wear and worry OF life come on. I said
just now the most of US are commonplace
people, and that life of romance is out of
reach; but believe in ''falling in love. !"
The imagination should be kindled and the
heart touched; there should be enthusiasm
and even romance to he very end of life,
or else the home is wanting in its perfect
happiness and grace. The wonderf /
charm which makes the wife more to the
husband than all other women, and the
husband more tn the wife than all other
meu-this is necessary to happy mar
riage. But take my word for it, those
PLAIN, solid virtues of which have spoken
are indispensable to the security and hap
piness of home; and it is home you are
drifting to when you are drifting into love.
