Mrs. Grants Last Letter.

his sermon at the Drexel Cottage, yester-
day, Rev. DR.. Newman spoke as follows Of
the letter for Mrs. Grant, found in the Cen
erals coat after his death: "And such was
the tenderness OF his love and solicitude for
her and hers, he surprised her by a letter
found after his death. He had written it
secretly and carried the sacred missiSe day
after day, knowing that she would find it
at last: Look after our dear children and
direct them in the paths of rectitude. It
would distress me far more to think that
one OF them could depart from an honor
able, upright and virtuous life, than it
would to know that they were FRUSTRATED
on bed of sickness from which they were
never to arise alive. They have never given
us any cause for alarm on their account
and [ earnestly pray they never will. With
these few iniunctions and the knowledge
have OF your love and affection, and of the
dutiful affection of all our children, l bid
you final farewell, until we meet in
another, and l trust, a better world. You

Gen. Buffers Sensitiveness.
TCor. Indianapolis Journal.

cor. Indianapolis JOurQdI.
During the past week the citizens Of
Washington have been given a musical
treat by the Mexican orchestra, which
is portion of the grand military Mex
lean band that has been furnishing
music for the New Orleans Exposition.
The orchestra is composed in part of
men who were members of the famous
"Spanish Students" who went through
the country few years ago and
achieved such distinction in their line.
While here one of these ex-students
told little anecdote which illustrates
the sensitiveness of Gen. Ben Butler.
"When the Spanish students were at
New York" said he, "they gavea con-
cert at the opening Of the season, to
which were invited a number Of noted
citizens. Among them was Gen. But
Ter. Many of our men had heard of
this famous statesman before they left
their homes and we're eager to see him.
He came up far to the front, occupy
ing, I believe, q box. When we emerged
from the curtains to the stage we
naturally cast about to see Gen. But
Ter. No sooner had we given him a
glance, however, and located him than
We observed him to get up and leave
the Academy. Our manager was very
much aggrieved at his departure, and
was unable at the time to state his
reason for the exit. Next morning,
however, we were told that Gen. But
Ter had taken umbrage at a portion of
our dress. We wore q small silver
spoon diagonally across our hatbands.
It was simply intended as an orna-
ment, and appeared wherever we did.
However, l suppose our looking about
for, and then intently gazing upon the
general, suggested to him that our lit
tie insignia was intended to be per-
sonal."
This comes in the line of another
incident. Gen. Butler, while a mem
Der of Congress, was riding on a street
car here one day, at the time the de-
partments were closing in the after
noon. A couple of lady clerks took
passage in the car. They instantly
recognized Gen. Butler. One OF them
craned her neck over and whispered
to the other, softly but audible to the
keen ear of the general: Spoons. +"
Gen. Butler did not appear to have
heard the word, but it was noticed
that when the ladies got out ofthe car
he also alighted and followed them to
their home. Hemade noteoftheir ad-
dresses. The next day they were both
dismissed from their positions.

Arrival at Albany.

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. After leav-
ing Saratoga the train bearing the remains
OF Gen. Grant increased its speed to fifteen
miles an hour. An assemblage stood I'M
covered as the train passed through Balls
ton and at Lake Station about 1000 peo-
pie occupied the platform. at Mechanics
vile and the other small places crowds of
several hundred were in holiday attire at
thedepots. At West Troy salutes were fired.
Precisely at 3:40, the schedule time, the
train came to a halt In Albany at Spencer
Street. The funeral car, heavily draped,
drawn by SIX black horses in funeral trap
pings, was in waiting, and after a short
delay the c2sket was transferred to it,
and the column moved. A score Of bands
was scattered throughout the procession
and played solemn funeral marches. Enorp-
Gus concourses of people lined every street of
the line Of march. The pack and lam at
times defied the efforts of the police to pre-
serve sufficient room for the pageant. The
crowds ia Albany were far vaster than
those present at the funerals of either Lin
coin or Garfield. 1t is supposed that not
less than 100000 strangers visited the
city. The military escort of 100 in
fantry preceded the casket to the corrid or
IL front, on both sides of the inclined base

Services in Westminster Abbey.

LONDON, Aug. 4.-The Grant memoir
al service in Westminster Abbey this after
noon, was an imposing event added to the
history of England The edifice was crowd
ed with q congregation, nearly every men,
Der of which was distinguished person.
The funeral address delivered by Canon
Farrar was most impressive, and was lis
tened to in almost breathless silence.
Canon Farrar took his text from The Acts,
chapter 13, verse Sc. He said that he de-
sired to speak simply and directly with gen.
erous appreciation but without idle flat
terry, of him whose death had made ma
ton mourn. That he would touch only
upon his public actions and services. The
speaker then traced Gen. Grant from boy
hood to manhood he compared him then
with the great men of the world, and rank
ed him with the foremost. In the course
of his sermon Canon Farrar said {:
"Gen. Grant has been grossly and I'M
justly called butcher. He loved peace
and hated bloodshed, but it was his duty
at all costs to save the country. In his
silence, determination and clearness of in
sight Grant resembled Washington and
Wellington. In the hottest fury of battle
his speech never exceeded yea, yea and
nay, nay" Among the distinguished
English personages present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Gladstone, the Earl of Iddesleigh,
Earl Cranbrook, the Right Hon. Mr..
Foster, Sir Lyon Playfair, and a
great number OF peers and members
Of the House OF Commons. There were also
present Prime Minister Salisbury, the Duke
of Cambridge, commander-in-chief Of the
British army the Marquis OF Lorne, Gen.
Lord Wolseley, Senior Martinez, Gillian am
bassador to England, Chief Justice Waite,
ex-Attorney General Brewster, Senator Ed
munds, Senator Hawley, and other promi-
nent Americans. Queen Victoria was rep
resented at the service by her equerry. The
Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connaught,
and Duke Of Edinburgh were also represent
by eouerries.

A Touching Incident.

New YORK, Aug. 8.-Toward the
middle of the afternoon yesterday blind
old soldier, his hand clasped in that of a
little girl a Grand Army badge upon his
lapel, and his feeble steps supported by a
cane, approached the bier in the line. His
sightless countenance lighted with interest
when the little girl softly said: Here it
is, grandpa With hat in hand, he
whispered to the guard, who grasped his
arm in kindly guidance: "Let me touch
the coffin" He was permitted to pass his
hand along the silver handle and to feel the

was a funeral occasion. 1t was a death
scene in sunshine. Slowly the little engine
started, but quickly it felt the impetus of
the descent Sweeping about curve after
curve TO right and left, the train passed
slowly down the mountain. On it
rolled toward the plain, and away
upon the mountain by the famous eastern
lookout, not yet in full view, there was
puff Of white smoke. In an instant
the sound Of booming cannon
echoed in the trees and ratified a vol
ley Of little echoes over and down across
the plain. The artillerymen were yet
bidding their farewells. The descent to the
little village of Wilton was safely accom-
plished, and on the platform few hundred
villagers silently saw the train pass through
and their heads were uncovered. The level
plain was reached. Seven level miles lay
between the train and Saratoga. The
speed was a little increased. Farmers and
their families stood near and sat upon the
farm fences to see the train that bore the
dead General. Again the cannon on the
mountain spoke out over the valley, but
only the edge GIFTS echo reached the moving
train. The spires of Saratoga were coming
in view and from that direction came the
dull booming of the cannon planted half
mile out OF the village beside the Mt. Nc
Gregor track. Soon this battery was
reached and passed, its brass guns saluting
the train on its passage. The last curve
was rounded and the train Strengthened
away parallel to the tracks of the Della
ware & Hudson, on which just north
of the Mt. McGregor depot, the funeral
train Of the New York Central Road was
waiting while thousands OF persons were
being held back by the military.

The Fly Pest.

The warm weather, with its accom-
panying pest of flies, is exceedingly
troublesome to cows and horses. The
I*tter especially are tormented all night
long by persistent and savage blood
sucker, which is supposed to be the
common house fly from its similar ap-
pearance. but it is very different in
sect. IT is related to the fierce ''tsetse"
fly Of Africa, which destroys horses so
that oxen are used for the saddle; also
to the buffalo gnat of the Southern Mis-
sissippi region, which worries to death
even the hardy mules of that region.
Its name is StonioryS and it very much
resembles the common Musca dOmestica
excepting in its bite, which is as sharp
as the prick of a needle and draws hood
as quickly. The mixer who feels his
ankles punctured by these insects real

THE FENCE QUESTION.
How to Do Away With the Immense Out
lay for Fencing.

How to Do Away With the Immense Out
lay for Fencing.
The fences in this country have cost
the farmers more than enough to pay
off the national debt, and yet there has
not been devised, as yet, any method
for abolishing them. Since the intro
duction of barbed wire, fences have
been cheapened in cost, and also rem
dered more etfectual. Hedges are 60
ing out of favor, as they require atten-
ton at the time of the year when it is
not always convenient to bestow it.
Great advance has been made of late
years in some localities by the adoption
of what is known as the ''nO-fence" law.
This law compels each farmer to fence
in his stock, or rather it permits farmers
to dispense with fences altogether if
they wish, compelling each to avoid
Formerly the custom was that person
owning large farms was bound by the
State to keep lawful fence all around
his farm, in order to keep his neighbours
stock out. while the neighbor had the
privilege of turning his stock upon the
highway to wander and trespass
over the public domain at will. 1t is
strange this custom was not abandoned
years ago, for it inflicted heavy loss
annually upon all, as it was apparent
that he who could not provide for his
stock on his own farm should not be en-
titled to the benefit of that which could
be derivedf from his neighbor.
A cheaper method must yet be adOp-
ted, and we believe it will result in the
hurdling system. 1t may be slow COM
ing. but itgrew as a practice in England,
and as the system progressed the land
became more fertile and the profits per
acre larger. As the population of this
country increases the farms will become
more limited in size, and they will be
improved by having the stock confined
over limited areas for that purpose. We
have been favored y our inventors with
many good plans for fences, while we
have the use of a large variety of hedge
plants, but the desire now is how to so
conduct 4 farm As to do away with the
annual outlay for the support of fences,
which, as we have stated, amounts to so
large a sum as TO be almost beyond
cOmputation.-farnl Field and Stock

CORN PLANTING.

Unreasonable. but the Hints are Worth
Considering For Next Season.
The chief difficulty in raising corn is
close planting, and it is practice hard
to overcome, so thoroughly has habit
established it. 1t extends to the grains
also, but its greatest harm is with corn,
reducing its yield, often largely, and in
some cases more than half. on all kinds
of soil, whether good or poor, but more
on good soil.
Shade is the cause of this effect of close
planting, which extends to both the
stalk and the ear; brit its chief harm is
with the latter. We find the same effect
in orchards, where the admission of SUM-
light among the branches is necessary
to the health of the tree and develop
ment CT fruit.
Take corn of medium size, and three
and one-half to four feet space between
the rows, and the stalks twelve inches
apart in the row, and the best success
will be obtained. one year with another.
on good, but not tie best soil. With
rich land, in good condition. full four
feet between the rows is required. and
something more with the largest kind of
corn, particularly if disposed to sucker
much, the suckers or side-stalks, if the
season is favorable to ripening, adding
considerably to the amount of the grain.
and much more largely and of increased
quality to the slower. There is consider
able advantage in having the stalks in
single linei in the row, one after the other,
about euui- distant. This affords more
open space, and admits of little closer
putting of the rows. To put the stalks
q foot apart in line in the rows, and
the rows four feet apart, is equiva-
lent to four stalks in = hill
with check-planting, affording
greater yield both of fod-
der and grain than with hill planting.
which will probably not be denied.
There will be a greater number of ears,
and larger side growth, the latter in
particular, the more open space favor
ing development and giving chance
for sun and air-an absolute necessity.
could cite many cases in endorsement
of this, and have my own experience to
cOrroborate it.
Farmers, generally, are 10th to expert
ment, or they conduct their experiments
injudiciously and without sufficient care.
not understanding all that relates to the
test. The quality and the uniform
character of the soil must be considered.
and allowance made for the difference
in corn: particularly must the size be
kept in view, as also the disposition 10
sucker, as these effect the shade, which,
if carried too far, lessons the ear growth,
and with farther crowding results in fOd-
der corn. The point to be aimed at is the
greatest development to the ear, with
out an excess of space. and it must not
be forgotten that the best development
of the ear means also the soundest and
fullest growth of the stalk which sun
and air effect. This. of course. can be
accomplished only with thorough, clean
culture, as a crowd of weeds seriously
arrests development and materially les
sens the yield. l have insisted upon
the necessity Of more space in and
above the ground, as it is an indispensl-
BILE requirement too little heeded.-F,
