ness of vision as to ''duty that lay nearest. ("
Both of them labOred with faith in the
manhood and devotion of the loyal masses.
Neither had the art or inclination to resort
to those snowy performances of the popu-
larity-seeker by which far inferior civil and
military leaders won swift applause, to be
followed by Indifference or aversion. These
two unassuming and unasserting men
finally came out of the clouds of obloQuy
and misunderstanding with general recogni-
ton of the fact that they stood alone.
There were none to stand next to
them. There were none compar a
bic with them as the master spirits
of the greatest and most important strug-
gle of modern times. LINCOLN died with
the sentiment of ''malice toward none,
charity for all" upon his lips. GRANT died
breathing prayer full of gratitude that
seetionalism was extinguished and of earn
est hope that a united nation would excel
in power and prosperity.
GRANTS greatness eliminated when,
with the natural sincerity and simplicity of
his heart, he made LEES surrender the
most affecting episode in the history of
wars. 1t was there he touched the tender
est chords of our American citizenship and
healed the wounds of war and recemented
an indissoluble union. He showed no pride
of victory in that hour, because he felt
none. He made that surrender the dawn of
new hopes for weary and beaten fighters.
He turned the battlefield into a sacred arena
of brotherly feeling and manly reconcilia-
ton. Under all circumstances he was the
typical American hero.

A FEMALE CRANK.
imprisonment of n Woman who
Claims to be GarfieId.s Wife.

CLEVELAND, o., July 29.-Ellen Will
Jams, a married woman about thirty-five
years DID, was taken into GUS
tody to-day on the charge of
insanity. She has a very peculiar
hallucination, imagining herself to be the
wife of Gen. Garfield, and she insists
that he is not dead, but concealing his
identity in Europe. The woman saws
she lived in Buffalo, and was a
particular friend of President Fillmore. A
ball was given at his residence one nighU.
where she met Gen. Garfield. He
was captivated by her fine
dancing, and although he then had a
French wife, they were married. This
fact was kept a secret, but she was about
to 90 to the White house to become its
mistress when the president was shot. She
did not make herself known as his wife.
thinking she would remain quiet
about the matter until after the funeral.
On the way from Washington to this CITY.
however, the general came to life, another
body was put in the casket, and Garfield
went to Europe. He had large amount
of insurance, and the government paid
large sums to the family. In order to
retain this, the general does not make
himself known. The lady who claims
to be Mrs. Garfield is not the
wife of the general at all, the woman
insists, but a Mrs. johnson, who lived
on Delaware street, Buffalo, and is
the wife of a member of the editorial staff
OF the Buffalo Courier. The unfortunate
woman declares if President Fill
more's secretary would only come
to his assistance he would clear the
whole matter up for her. She would theu
be released and be given all of Gen. Gar
fields property.

an enthusiastic admirer of the Fremont

which is mild contradiction of the state
ment that the eX-president is raising poultry
for speculative purposes. The letter reads
as follows:

thus enabling the latter to demoralize rates,
east-bound from Chicago, answered as fol-
lows:
Have received your circular of July 16 in
reference to Generalization of east-bound
business as the consequence of the action or
Western connections, TO which L would say
that no such decentralization could result from
any action of ours, as our agents are pro-
hibited from giving away any of their COM
missions east of Chicago to scalpers; but UNI
less some of our competitors out of this ter
rltory stop pursuing these methods to
secure business by dividing commissions with
brokers' we Will be compelled to resort to this
method for our own protection as well as our
connections. The division of commissions
would evidently enable these scalpers to put
tickets into Chicago to beat the Chicago rate.
1t is something that hesitate about doing on
our part.

NEW YORK, July 24.-The decision of
tine referee in the case of Joseph Ii. Good

company, was filed this morning. The
plaintiff claimed that i'm June, 1883, the

bv a breach OF contract. They had
refused to send his news matter at
rates for which he had contracted with
them and on what he had based his charges

BOsToN, July 24.-The story of to-day's
game is easily told. The visiting club ran
away with the local players. They batted
for eight bases with a total of twelve in
the second inning and ran up seven earned
runs. 1t was the biggest batting streak on
these grounds this year, and while it
chilled the spectators enthusiasm, it
aroused their admiration. Mccormick was
hit bur little, and when BOstOnian did get
on base. he lost the advantage by poor
base running. Only $50 persons saw the
game. The following is the score:

Boston. July 24.-The directors Of the
Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy railroad at a
meeting to-day decided to build to St
raul, and for that purpose voted to offer
shareholders $1,000. GOO of the SO, 600, 900
bonds and stocks of new road TO that city,
to be called the Chicago, Burlington u
Northern. The question was whether to
give the building to a syndicate or for
the Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy to
build it by a subscription from the
shareholders. The company will retain
IS, 900, 600 of the securities. The bonds will
be 3 per cents, issued, it is said, at 90, with
six shares of stock at 35 with each bond.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy guaran-
tees 80 per cent, and a minimum
OF 500, 900 per year as sinking fund for
the redemption of the bonds. This line will
bring great competition for st. Paul bust
ness, but the Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy
will get its share of the traffic. The
stock rose sharply on the announcement.
1t is thought that the new line to st. Paul
will be the WinOna, Alma q Northern,
which road is graded part of the way from
Dubuque, and operations on which were
ordered suspended some time ago by the

GEN. GRANTS RESTING PLACE.

GEN. GRANTS RESTING PLACE.
The announcement that Gen. Grant is TO
be buried in New York will be disappoint-
ment to many who thought that as he was
the nations hero, he ought to have been
buried at the nations capital. Yet the
wishes of the family are entitled to superior
consideration, and while it is TO be regretted
they did not indicate preference for Wash
ington as the final resting place of the
greatest warrior there will be universal
acquiescence in the decision made by the
family. There are those who would have
preferred that the remains should have
been taken back to Galena to rest in the
place from whence he started to the war.
But all these suggestions are now at an
end, and he will be buried in the city
which he selected as his home
after his retirement from public life.
There is something touching in the wish of
the family to have their dead all TO them
selves for a season before the honored re-
mains are turned over 10 the people and the
nation to pay their tribute of respect TO the
memory OF their illustrious dead. When the
family have finished their season of
mourning and have performed their burial
service and the remains are started from
Mt McGregor to be laid away in Central
park it will be the grandest funeral earth
ever witnessed. Not a city or hamlet
in all the land but will be in mourning. As
will be seen from our local columns St.
Paul will join with other cities in appropri-
ate demonstrations on the day of burial

Ryan Ticket OFFICE

j. Couthoni, union ticket agent at the
Palmer house. Chicago, was in the city yes
terday and made arrangements to open an
office in the Ryan hotel. He intended MAX
ing 1t union office, but the scheme is a
failure. Shortly after it was known what
he intended doing all the roads except the
wisconsin Central refused to go in, as it
would take legitimate commissions away
from the city agents, and it was further
more agreed that each road shall maintain
put one office. If they all had consented to
go INTO the Ryan they would have had to do
likewise at the Metropolitan, Merchants and
Windsor: If the Wisconsin Central goes
INTO the Ryan, as it now signifies its inten-
tIon OF doing, it will have a tendency to de-
loraiize business out of st. Paul when that
road has line into Chicago.

TIE TYPICAL AMERICAN Irrnn

THE TYPICAL ERICAN HERO.
Gen. GRANT was the pure and simple
product of our national history. life and in
stitUti0nS. His fame is American. as his
character and achievements We're American.
His career inspires faith in a government
''of the people. for the people and by the
people" He came from obscurity, his
early Struggles with poverty identified him
in experience and sympathy with the poor
aid The simple and the unknown. and his
manner and nature were never changed by
elevations the highest possible to any man.
1t is true of GRANT, as LowELL's tribute is
true Of LINCOLN, that
To front lie in arms and not TO yield
This shows. nethinks, Gods plan
And measure of Stalwart man,
Limbed Ike the old heroic breeds,
Who stand self-poised on manhood's solid
earth,
Not forced to frame excuses FOR his birth,
Fed from within with all the strength be
needs.
The peculiar popularity of Gen. GRANT
compares with that of LINCOLN. There
was a striking similarity in the career of
the two men. Both of them We're the
purest types Of Amerlcanism. Both of
them We're great representatives Of the plain
people of this country, and both were
htted by nature for winning brilliant repl,.
tations by conscious Efforts. Their work

IT appears that in the statistical statement
given of the deaths in the United States army
during the late war there were some inac-
curacies, chiefly with regard to the participa-
ton therein of the colored troops. 1t is de-
clared untrue that 40 per cent of the colored
troops persisted. Instead of ELISE colored
troops, there were ls6,0l7, or more than twice
the number supposed. which embraced only
those that were organized separately, and TO
the exclusion of those that were procured as
substitutes and were mustered into service as
parts of quotas Of certain states. The negroes

whites, but not in the astounding ratio that

brother, if he has no chance for political ia
