Bust of General Grant

Fortunately bust of General Grant has been made which is so perfect and strikingly good that the public will have an oppsrtuni ty of possessing unique likeness of the great general. The work was done by Karl Gerhardt, the young Hartford sculptor. The Hartford Courant speaks of it as follows:
 ** It chanced that General Grant was feeling unusually well, and both he and his family showed a gratifying interest in Mir. Gerhardt's s work. The general, of his own accord, invited the artist to bring the bust into the sick and rect and finish it there from the living subject This was done and the portrait was there carefully and painstakingly completed-the best in the opinion of the most competent judges, which had or has yet been made, and, while we trust it may not be the last likeness ever made of the general from life it will always have remarkable interest alike for its circumstRnces and the peculiar skill of it's execu- tion. When the corrections had reached a certain point Colonel Fred Grant considered the face SO nearly perfect that he afraid to have touched again lest 1t lose instead of gaining excellence; so at his desire it was left as it was.
 The work has been. reproduced in terra cotta and bronze. One may be seen in the window of M. Bristol & Son, the boot and shoe dealers.

Assistant Superintendent Coogan with his twenty-h five insane patients arrived at Mid dletown yesterday in good time and without an accident to any of the number.

A PerseYerfng R1rd.

A robin recently began to build her nest on the spiral spring of the air brake on car Mo- 13 on the Naugatuck railroad at Water town. The car was the one used on the Watertown train, Conductor Dickerman, n, formerly of New Haven. Before the work was completed the car inspector at the yard in this city, not understanding what the gray substance on the spring meant, knocked it off with his hammer. This did not deter the faithful mother and again the foundation was laid for receptacle for her eggs Again the work was nearly completed, but only to meet the same fate, it being supposed that thsre for sport. This was on Sunday and MT. Dickerman thinks the bird must have followed the car from Watertown, 50 much progress was made in short time.-Water- bury American.
 A Grindstone Bursts Sad Results.
 James Cassidy, 8 young man twenty years of age, of South Meriden, was seriously in- jured yesterday morning while grinding knife blades at the Meriden cutlery shop. The large grindstone on which he was at work burst and threw him into the trench where the belt runs His shopmates ran to his assistance and found his head badly cut and bruised. Drs. Smith and Tracy, of Meriden, attended him.. Cassidy's recovery is not despaired of, but he is in very pre- carious condition. Several stones have burst at the cutlery shop within the last few years, though all precautions have been taken by the company. This is the only serious accident that has occurred in about twenty years

 BRADFORD RECITALs.
 Mir. William Bradford gave the first of hi. recitals on the wonders of the polar world last evening at the Atheneum. Professor Brewer, who attended, said these illustra- tions are the most magnificent views of the polar regions that have ever been presented to the public. He had the pleasure of meet ing MT. Bradford in Oregon and endeavored to secure some of the views for 8 special purpose of his own. MT. Bradford is him. self an artist as well as Arctic explorer, and his lecture descriptive of the views as they appear is terse, vigorous and very interest ing. The hall was well filled and the closest interest was manifested. The following en- tertainments will be still more interesting. On Saturday evening the recital will be upon ''The Greedy Expedition" The views will include that of the highest point ever reached by man and several interesting ones of curious ice formations, packs and upheavals. The course cannot fail of being instructive and enjoyable as it is based upon very &C., curate and intelligent personal observation, and illustrated by views taken on the spot. The lecture on Lieutenant Greely's explora tions is in aid of the monument to be erect ed to the memory of Commander De Long at Woodlawn cemetery, and the illustrations were kindly presented to MT. Bradford by Lieutenant Greedy, as an expression of sym pathy for the heroic commander of the Jeannette.

GILL.-At the residence Of her son, VIM.
3. GIL, of this parish, on May 18th, Mrs Jane

STEPHENs.-In Cameron Parish, La, on
April 18th, Cicero Stephens, aged 81 years
and months.
Shreveport Times please copy.
It Is painful task, at all times, to record
the death Of good citizen; but, in the pres
ent instance, we would gladly cast veil over
the horrid deed, which deprived an affec-
tionate wife and children of the protection
and support Of doating husband and father,
and the community In which he lived of an
honorable and law-abiding citizen, CICERO
STEPHENS, son of the late B. X. and Martha
Stephens, was born in Caddo parish, La,
to manhood. He removed to the parish OF
Cameron a few years since with his young
family, and settled on Johnson's Bayou, and
by industry and sterling worth soon gained
the confidence of every law-abiding citizen
in the parish. At the last general election
his neighbors almost forced upon him the
Office of Justice of the Peace, the duties of
which he discharged with that fidelity which
had characterized him in all the relations of
life. On the evening of the 18th of April
last, as Mr.. Stephens was returning from a
debating club In his neighborhood, almost at
the very threshold of his door, he was way
laid and assassinated by some lurking fend,
and his body was not discovered until the
next morning. The dastardly act has cast a
gloom over many a worthy citizen who had
learned to respect and honor him; and may
He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb,
protect his helpless orphans, and mete out
to his murderers that vengeance which is
due 30 great a crime. A FRIEND.

the latter Baker, as accessory. There

shocking and humiliating.
