REV. II, f.. NEIGHBOR.
The Simplicity of General Grants Character
and the Magnitude of His Victories.


and the Magnitude of His Victories.
At the North Baptist Church, Rev. r. f.
Neighbor preached yesterday morning from the
text, "And it came to pass, that as many as
as came to the place where Asahel fell down and
died stood still" In the course of his remarks,
Mr.. Neighbor referred to General Grant and
said that Notwithstanding his supreme great
ness, he was one of the most simple and unas-
Stunning men the world has ever seen. During
the whole of his exalted and eventful life he
remained transformations, plain and dignifed.
The armies that Grant commanded were
greater, and fought over more ter
ritory than any Marlborough Wellington
or Napoleon had ever led AS a
military man he was singularly successful, never
sus tanning defeat, which is more than can be
claimed for any of the great captains of history.
With his soldiers Grant was always on intimate
and frien dly terms and mingled with them in a
kindly and brOtherly way. His simplicity was
the mark of his greatness. In every station Of
life that he occupied he was approachable by
the people, 10 matter who they might be, OF
what object was to be gained. The problem OF
reconstruction he made simple by the humane
terms of the surrender of General Lee, of whom
he exacted no humiliation or suffering further
than loyalty to the Union would sanction.
When the Rebellion the South ten
and to day both are in tears over the heros death
The honesty of General Grant Is proverhial as
his simplicity. and whatever mistakes he may
have made, no one can doubt his sincerity. Oar
ing his term Of Office as President lie was crti-
cSed for adhering to and upholding unscrupu-
lOus friends. but even here he was conscientious
in the endeavor to Go right and act with Justice
He stood by his friends, and lent them the help
ing hand when difficulty arose, no matter how
much the public berated and assaulted them.
In his convictions Of religion, politics and duty
Grant was unfinching; and no man could turn
him. His life is full of noble, Christian deeds.
and the example he sets forth TO the world is
worthy of study and imitation Resolute in all
aims, and pugnaclous in all under
takings, and uprigh: in everything he
Justly the crown he wears.
In the dark days of the war, when the North
had lost all hope, Lincoln turned to Grant with
prophetic confidence and asked him to take Rich
mond the objective point Of the great conflict;
and the hero of a battle never lost, succeeded.
AS God schooled Luther to srnite the Papal
hierarchy in Europe so he schooled Grant to re-
deem the Nation He who rose from the hum

vast army, which smOte slavery and disunion,

Washington and Lincoln, Grant will endure in
the history Of men. and descend the converging
aisles of time with the fame of true hero.

great genius, and that IL was illustrated by his
remarkable success in life. His military career
was second to no other generals of modern his
tory, and in 1t he displayed n force of character
and simplicity OF manner that has never been
equaled He had an abhorance Of the red. tame
manner of doing things, and always simplifed
his orders as much as possible. He was man of
great power. This was shown in his control over
men. confidence of party. and the respect of
nations. lie rose from obscurily to prominence
from HUMILITY to influence, and from common
citizenship to the first citizen In speaking of
the reasons why we should honor him TODAY
Mr.. Hunter said that he was a representative
man. IN that he showed what was possible for n
man of genius and energy to do under "A demo
cratic form of government There were no
powerful political com binations of men TO intro
duce him to Office. He rose step by step upon
his own merits We honor him because it was
by his leadership that our country was saved

jeopardy that we might have acOuntry--a Onion
one free from the faint OF slavery. In looking
over his career and life are taught the lesson
That energy and integrity Of purpose of men will
gain the confidence of mankind, and that there
can be no real success without real merit. His
life also teaches us a lesson OF fortitude. In
closing, the speaker said that we may learn les
sons from MIN as a good citizen, faithful hus-
band, devoted father and patriot. Although
not a pr0fessed Christian, in the church sense of
the word, his actions through life shows his rev.

its baptism of blood. Since 1865 it has been

DR.. Bradley's sermon was on The Never-Fail-
ing Providence Of God as he leaves for his vaea-
ton on Monday at 2:l5 p. NJ, going to Newport,
II. l., via Niagara Falls. He illustrated his sub
iect by the pillar of cloud and fire that led the
Israelites out of Egypt. Reaching the Red sea,
the Jews were hemned in between the impassa-
bic waters and their powerful enemies, the
Egyptians There the pillar of cloud moved from
before them. and stood between them and the
Egyptians. The sea was opened, the light from
the pillar showed them their way and the
shadow from the same pillar covered the Egyp-
tians with deepest darkness. BY the leadings of
Providence, what seemed to be impending ruin
was turned 30 their double safety. escaping the
sea and the enemy. Dir. Bradley illustrated his
subject also from the life Of Grant. In Gods
providence financial disaster and the fatal cancer
came upon him. He seemed shut up to poverty

At the Tomb.

Winding through thick growth of Beach and
maple trees the military division came upon a
large open view, and, approaching the open
grave on the Hendricks family lot. which occu-
pies the most commanding view in the grounds
turned to the left and then again to the right
finally completely encrcfing thettractoof which
the Hendricks plat forms part.
The most careful attention had been given TO
the master of decoration ut the cemetery. The
monument Of the deceased statesman-a mas
sive and beautiful Shaft of about thirty feet in
height, and built entirely of polished gray
gIarite-stands on probably the most at
uactive wen commanding ground In
the Enclosure. Immediately opposite is the
exquisite chapel Of the Cemetery Associa-
ton, while little to the northwest is the bury
g-ground OF the Indiana soldiery. In the midst
Of this tall flagstaff bore superb garrison
flag ut half-mast, and another OF the same charac-
ter was trained about the monument. The latter
was covered 70 suitable extent with smilax and
choice flowers, and about the two sides Of the
base. on the interior ferns and potted plants
in great profusion. The grave was closely walled
mp with mosses smilax and cut flowers, and the
casket was seemingly deposited in chamber Of
floral beauty. heavy marble vault. of size
proportioned to that Of the casket, was first
placed in position, and, on the deposit Of tho
latter, received it's cap slab of like material and
this in turn was laden with flowers. The last
glimpse OF the sorrowing widow and mourners
thus suggested nothing Of the unpleasant fea-
lures Of the ordinary interment About the
grave wide mats had been placed to protect the
immediate participants from the dampness Of
the turf and they also extended down the IN
clining sward to the carriage-way
The grave Of little Morgan, the idolized son
and only child of the Vice President and his
widow, lies Immediately to the left of the rest
ing place Of his illustrious father. and on the
west side of the monument. The singular aiIec-
ton entertained for the little one by his honored
parents is known as a household word In the
community where they lived. The utmost care
had been taken by those in charge of the mat
ter To decorate the little ones grave and it's sur
! roundngs.
When the hearse had halted near the lot, the
casket was borne to the grave The venerable
Bishop Knickerbocker preceded 1t and read
few verses for the dead, and after the lowering
of the casket the Rev. DIR. Jenckes read the COM
initial services, the Bishop closing with prayer
and beneChction.
Only the widow and her supporters approached
the grave, the remaining multitude standing of,
silent So. ctators.

Fourteen Years Apiece.

Rather good story used to be told
by Justice Porter, the well-known le-
gal bon vivant of Dublin. 1t concerns a
rare old Irish Judge on the northwest
circuit, who loved the hunting field
more than he did the stupid, sleepy
courtroom. His clerk was like-mind-
ed, and a joyous pair they made.
One fine morning the clerk whis-
pered to the Judge:
"Your Honor, old Billy Duane's
meets to-day at Ballykillmulligan, an
they've fine dog-fox."
"How manys in the dock ?" asked
the Judge excitedly.
"Twenty, for rioting and breach of
peace, yer Honor.
"Tim," said the Judge, edo you think
you can get the first fellow to plead
guilty without a jury trial, and me to
let him off with week in Jail 2"
"The easiest thing in the world,
answered the faithful clerk.
make haste, then, and bring the
whole gang; and. say, Tim, tell Jer-
ry to saddle the mare meanwhile"
The twenty Fenians were brought
into court-a defiant gang, nineteen OF
them prepared to fight with counsel
and jury to the bitter end. The TWEEN
tieth had been interviewed by the
clerk. He was called.
Guilty or not guilty of the crimes
charged?" demanded the Judge, with a
propitious smile.
Guilty, yer Honor" said the crafty
prisoner.
WELL" said the Judge, glancing
benevolently about the room, Il fancy
/ can let you OF with week."
The man thanked the Judge and
stepped down to the bailiff There was
terrific sensation among the other
defendants. Why, none of them ex.
pected to get off with less than five
years in limbo. Here was chance to
profit by "his Honor's' pleasant mood.
One and all manifested an earnest
desire to follow the example of their
comrade and acknowledge the crimes
in batch.
DO you all plead guilty?" demand.
ed the Judge eagerly.
I'VE do" shouted the enthusia site
