G.. A. R. GENERAL ORDERS.
Relative to the Observance of Memo
rial Services Appropriate to
the Death of Gen. Grant.

The following general orders have
been issued from department headquar-
ters of Ohio, Grand Army of the Repub-
lie:
EVANSVILLE, o., July "a, 1885.
General Orders No. IL.
Comrads Ulysses Simpson Grant, gem
eral of the army Of the United States,
on the retired list, is dead. After long,
weary months of suffering. endured with
that characteristic fortitude which has
challenged the admiration of the world,
he peacefully and trusuingly passed away
at Mt McGregor, in the State of New
York. on Thursday. July 23d, 1885. The
nation is in tears, and the civilized world
mourns the death of one of the greatest
of the great Generals and leaders OF men.
1t is peculiarly fitting that the com
rades of the department of Ohio, grand
army of the republic, the state which
gave to the country Gen. U. S. Grant, the
most illustrious soldier in American his
tory, should in common with the people
of the United States, testify their sense
of the great loss sustained by the nation.
1t is, therefore, ordered that the national
colors be displayed at half mast from
the headquarters of each post, to remain
until after the funeral shall have taken
place. The post halls, flags and charters
will be suitably draped, and the comrades
will wear the usual badge of mourning
for the period of thirty days. On Satur-
day. August Sth, the day appointed for
the final obsequies in the city of New
York each post will hold appropriate
memorial services at such time and place
as the post commanders shall direct, exr
tending an invitation to the members Of
the woman's relief corps, auxiliary to the
post, TO join in the solemn ceremony. 1t
is recommended as solemn and patri-
otic duty, that the comrades unite with
their fellow citizens in their several To-
calities in such public ceremonies as
shall be arranged for that day, in paying
just tribute of respect to the memory
of the distinguished dead.
By command of R. B. BROWN.

read passage that l want to call your
attention to. You will remember that
after his Presidential terms had expired,
he made trip around the world. When
he was in England he was invited by the
Duke of Cambridge to review the British
troops at Aldershot; and here is his re-
ply. 1t at once shows that he thought
of peace, not only at home, but also when
abroad. He said in answer to that invi-
tation: "The one thing l never wanted
to see again was a military parade.
When resigned from the army, and
went to farm, was happy. When the
rebellion came returned again, because
it was a duty. Ihad no thought of rank,
all did was to try to make myself use>
full"
That is General Grant in epiteme. It
represents the character of the man,
both as soldier and as man of peace.
But he is also first in the hearts of his
countrymen. This is evidenced by the
millions of tolling bells that yesterday
and to-day have been proclaiming to the
American people that he is no more.
The moistened eyes and the trembling
voices everywhere to be seen wherever
his name is mentioned, bear the same
testimony. All alike, Democrats and
Republicans, the South and the North,
friend and foe, are vying with each oth>
er to express their affectionate regard
for his great character and services.
He was always not only hero and
patriot in the ordinary sense Of the
word, but a simple. plain, unostatious
representative of the American people.
No matter whether in the moment of
his greatest triumphs as soldier, no
matter whether as President of the
American people, or abroad, ushered into
the presence of royalty and of the crown
ed heads of the Old World, be was al
ways the same simple minded Ulysses
S. Grant-prouder of his American citi-
zenship than of any honor that could be
bestowed upon him. Never, since Wash
ington, has there been a grander repre-
sentative of all that is great and noble
in American citizenship than was that
man whom we mourn to-day.

ACCORDING to common report, several
of the Democratic heads of Departments
in Washington now have expert account
ants at work overhauling the books kept
by their Republican predecessors. OF
course it is search for fraud If the
accountants find anything wrong, let us
have it out by all means. But who is
paying for these private Investigations
1t cannot be the Government, for we
do not remember that the last Congress
appropriated money for any such pur-
poses. Moreover, there is law against
paying any employees of this kind, or any
kind, indeed, except at such rates and
in such numbers as may be especially
authorized by appropriations by Con
gresS. So, despite rumors, we must con-
clude that the cost of this search for all
legged proof of Republican wrong doing
is provided for by the Secretaries out of
their own peckets.-N. Y. Tribune.

IT will soon be time to think about
what fields are to be sOwn to grass this
fall. and what kinds of grasses are best
fer meadows. To make the best and
most enduring pastures the sowing of
mixed seed is most highly recommended.
the mixture to be made up of several of
the best kinds of grasses which make
their growth and most herbage in the
different months Of the summer season.
In this way the most steady and the
largest growth of succulent pasture can
be obtained. There are some grasses
which grow best in cool spring time. and
others best in the hot and dry months /;
while some are easily frozen out in a
cold winter, and others withstand its
rigors. In several other ways there are
advantages in sowing mixture of grass
es for pastures; but for meadows mix
ture of grasses has decided objections.
The grasses will not mature aud be
ready to be harvested at the same time
either one must be cut too green or the
other too ripe, and neither can be put up
in the best order. Timothy and clover,
for instance, will illustrate this subject,
Is they ripen at very different periods
yet it is a very common occurrence for
farmers to seed their meadows with
these two grasses. 1t would do very
we'll and perhaps be an advantage to
seed the meadows with different grasses,
if kind are chosen which are ready for
the machine at about the same time

A Remedy for SIeeplessness.

One evening a few weeks ago had
an aggravated form of very common
experience with my baby. He never
goes to bed exactly with the setting of
the sun; but on the evening in question
it seemed as if he had really for
gotten how to go to sleep. L did not
put him to bed and let him cry himself
to sleep, for l had tried that once and
his crying soon led to such a fit of
coughing and choking that was fright
ened and vowed never to do so again
and so s, 9, 10 o'clock came, and the lit
tie eyes we're wide open. used all my
arts of soothing and persuading, but
there he sat, and laughed and cooed, and
watched the light and the shadows until
II o'clock came and went and IL was
just at hand. Something must be done,
and could think of nothing. unless
possibly wet cloth on the head might
have soothing effect; at least it would
do no harm to try. l took a piece of
Canton flannel, large enough when doub.
led to cover the whole head, and wrung
it rather dry out of warm water, then
put it closely over baby's head so as to
cover both ears and eyes. The effect
was wonderful. There was a brief
struggle. then perfect quiet, and in less
than FIVE minutes the little fellow wai
sound asleep. Since then have tried il
again and again, and always with the
same quick result. 1t is simple reme+
dy for sleeplessness and well worth
knowing and trying.-Babyhood.
