News and Notes.

Attorney General Garland has given an opinion tothe president sus- taining the eligibility of Mir Lawton, of Georgia, for appointment as min ister to Russia.
 Justice Andrew Wylie, of the United States supreme court of the DIstiict ofColumbia, has notified the president he desired to be placed on the retired hst. Justice Wylie is Fl years old.
 Probably no other two nations Tn the world have so nearly equal strength and resources as Russia and England. Either country can put half million men into the field and feed and clothe them without exhausting it's resources. But Eng land is the more active of the two, and it takes three Russians to kill two Englishmen in battle.
 From the present outlook it is evident that the wheat crop of the North and West IS short of last year about ten per cent. Yet the chances are that it will reach 400,000,00C bushels. With prices what they are likely to be if war breaks out be tween England and Russia, the sur plus will be worth much more to the farmers than the overplus of last year brought them.

A MONUMENT TO GRANT.

The voice of the people will demand
of their Congress the erection at the cap
tai of q monument to Gen. Grant. And
we think it safe to conclude that the
representatives of the people will give
heed TO this demand.
No man who has passed from earth in
recent years has less need of monument
than Gen Grant. His memory cannot
die. His life is history, his deeds are
immortality, his fame is eternity.
Bnt the people iceland rightly feel
that they owe it to themselves to erect a
monument to him. They feel that they
must avoid the censure of posterity. the
charge of incapacity to appreciate gre t.
ness. and they know of no better way to
do this than by the means that has been
in vogue in all ages-the erection of a
monument.
II is not needful at this time to discuss
particulars or go into details of any kind.
Whether granite pile or o marble shaft
whether complex or simple design will
be best, may be left to the future.
But Congress will be impressively
asked to provide for the erection of a
Grant monument in Washington, and the
request will not be slighted.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1885-07-25
THE PLACE OF RURAL.

II Is the almost universal desire Of the
American people that the remains of
Gen. Grant should be buried at the cap
ital of the nation to whose service he
gave the best years and immortal deeds
Of his life.
It would be easy to fill columns with
reasons why Washington should be
Grants plnce Of sepulture, aud it would
be difficult, If not impossible, to name a
single reason why any other locality
should be given the preference.
But the reasons for the selection of
Washington Us the place of interment
are self-evident, occurring to every mind
and heard on every hand.
Grant loved Washington, and the affec-
ton was reciprocated. He has more SOL
dier friends, more statesman friends.
more warm admirers in every path of life
in Washington than in any other city.
The mere fact that this is the capital
of the nation should go long way in de-
termining this question, for Grant, more
than any other man of his time, belonged
to the nation,
The people of the country feel as if
they had lost father, and they desire to
lny his remains to their last rest near the
old homestead home to which all
his military successes tended.
It is fitting that his grave should be
where it can be visited by the hundreds
of thousands who annually journey to
the capital, and where its silent eloquence
can best enforce the lessons of his great
career
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1885-07-25

grace that comes Of good sense and
right purposes Her happiest hours
were those devoted TO her children and
no children in this or any other land had
better mother. Wherever the Grants
have been or however situated, whether
in poverty in Missouri or in splendor in
Washington; whether in the highest sta-
tions at home or the most honored guests
of kings and emperors of Europe or
Asia; whether in the lap Of luxury or
bufeting the waves Of financial disa, ,ter.
Mrs. Grant has been true to the promise
Of her youth-hss been the best gift Of
God to man, a model wife and mother
Her place in the nations heart is Sc.
cure, and the prayer of the people is
that she may long live to witness their
devotion to her husbands memory, and
to be blest by the loving care of her
children and their children.

ABOUT THE SUMMER oIRL.

The season of the summer girl is here.
Radiant in white dress, bright eyes, and
low-cut slippers, surmounted by coquet.
tishly dark -colored hose, she fiits from
place to place in the conscious power of
her temporary ascendancy. She is
found at the seaside hotels and the
mountain resorts, in country and town,
or on board the ocean vessel. Whatever
others may be, she at least is always the
same. The perforated sleeve and dress
yoke make her cool and Indifferent to
the torrid rays Of the sun, and her own
self. lf.complacency averts all unpleasant
worry. It's her aim to be comfortable
like Flanagan, that is what she is there
for and she generally manages to have
her own way.
Nobcdy can analyze the methods OF
the summer girl. Like her they are
light and airy. How she attains hei
universal admiration, or how she holds il
when once il has been attained, even she
ia unable to tell. 1t is not because she
is learned nor oyerwitty nor overwise
Nor that she is always either imaginative
or pretty. There are homr ly members
of the class Just as there are medium
appearing and pretty ones, aud taken
altogether they are very much the sam
They do not do anything. and they dc
it we'll. 1t is pleasure to watch them
do it.
The saddest part about the summer
girl is that her life is brief. Coming just
ut the season when the roses die to ayoit
the heat of the dog days, the end of Au
gust sees her glory well nigh gone Ant
! h.1a glaa Ha4I
he same waves wash the seas sandy
beach, but her voice answers not to theil
call The leaves whisper on the noun
tain tops, but catch no echo of her song
Like strain of vanishing melody, she
has served her passing purpose and gone
to herald the coming of the quickly fol
lowing leaves But she is pleasant while
she is here, and only fools try to solve
the problem of to-morrow's pleasure. -
