command, according to previous notice and

through the streets Of the village accompsn-
led by goodly portion Of the citizens Of
ibis place and vicinity, headed by the Met
rCpolilan Brass Band" Giscoursing appro-
pirate music for the occasion. Arriving at
the N E. Church. on entering it was found
that already large audience had assem-
bled. With difficulty room was found for
the Pest and few others while quite q
crowd remained outside. After prayer by
Officer Grim the other exercises Of the Post
were performed appertaining to the birth,
life, achievements, character and death Of
The illustrious Chief Magistrate, citizen and
soldier, General L. S. Grant, the exer-
ciseS being at intervals interchsnged with
music By the choir accompanied by the or
gan and occasionally by the band The ex-

man from the village, recently from college,
very great interest was taken in what he
might say. That ell were well pleased and
that be lar exceeded their expectation is
conceded. His appearance and bearing
would have been credit to one of exper.

upon Gen. Grant, what he passed through,
tracing him from youth onward, his con-
duct toward the vanquished, his actions and
examples while Chief Magistrate and as q
citizen, in allaying sectional feelings ami

in its Munster KTche, the interior of which
has been restored somewhat, but which still
le,sins its oriel windows, its kneeling benches

sope very old paintings. 1t is much finer
and more picturesque as relic of archi-
lecture than the Cathedral, and is always
open. Any hour of the day peasants and
tourists people drop in noiselessly, say a
prayer and depart. 1t is very touching to
see them, for they do not go into the old
stone church to meet their friends, to show
their clothes or hear fashionable minister;
they must feel sore need, want OF IN
SPOKEN comfort and sympathy, and whatever

II is astonishing to note the rapid in
crease in the demand for shorthand writers.
A few years ago only newspapers employed
them, and then only as a kind Of luxury.
They are now indispensable to the news
papers. and thousands Of business and pre-
fessional men are employing them. The
merchants want them to faeihtsts in keep.
irg their accounts; lawyers and judges
want them to report evidence
speeches &C., in court, aud
many public officials find them almost ne
cessity in their work And the demand is
stil becoming greater. A host Of books
have been written on stenography and the
Business College in Wheeling and hundreds
of other schools are giving instructions in
il, but they have scarcely been able to sup
ply the demand. Hence it is easy to see
the field that is open to young men, and
young ladies too, IN besOming proficient ste
pcgraphers.

ADyICES from Harrisburg make it seem
probable that VANDERBILT will yet have to
hold back from the rich railroad grab that
was Just within reach. People in PennsyL
yania have been calling for appropriate
Legislation" on this subject and the Attor-
ney General Of that State in looking about
has found in the constitution of 1873 Law
that just fits the case. The law prohibits
the consolidation or merging Of rival rail
reads or their carrying trade. As the
South Penn and Beach Creek roads we're
chartered since 1873, of course they are
subject to laws formed at that time. High
legal authorities give as their opinion that
,YASDEBBnT's deal can be disposed Of very
satisfactorily under this clause. The result
Of the action that may be taken wilLproys
