Springfield, Ohio, Aug. i2, 1885.
(Tolcdo Sunday Journai.)
The only euogy OF Gen. Grant yet
written, in poetry, or prose, which even
npproxlmales to the dignity Of the theme,
comes to us, NJ 1t should, from Grants
native State, Ohio, in the form OF testi-
monial adopted by the Department Of
Ohio, g. A. r., and from the pen OF our
distinguished citizen, Judge Cochrane,
Past Senior Aide ON the staff OF Cominan-
der In Chief ]. S. Kuniz:
Ulysses s. Grant is dead A nation
lingers at his tomb; the world sends mes.
sages OF coincidence, aud the earth is filed
with requiem. Yet M patriot, soldier and
benefactor lie lives, and will remain while
virtue, patience, for.ilnde and fidelity have
place IN history or among men.
Calm and modest through life, resigned
and tranquil In death, to us he IN not dead
only transferred from our thinning ranks
to that ever increasing army in the de
partment OF immortality.
In ourselves we note the lengthening
shadows Of life's evening; we gather on
the descending slopes or stand at the rivers
brink. In memory OF yesterday and hope
OF tomorrow, we live to-day and think of
him who 40 often thought for us.
The wealth of meditation, which was 80
much MS own seems now 'he oe''er part
of us, and yet Ills fiji we essay speech les,
silence seem disparagement.
How seldom Time hath given one whose
record is beyond all eulogy!
Born untitled youth Of obscurity, rear
ed in the common school of necessity, he
