ance has just gone into effect in Penn
sylvania. For many years the coking
districts in the neighborhood of Pitts
burg, Allegheny and similar manufac-
turing centers, have been disgraced by
the employment of women to do the
toughest sort of labor. Scenes were
to be witnessed there that could only
be matched in the coal mines of Eu-
rope; women unsexed and degraded al
most to brutality by their miserable
careers. Attention having been called
to this fact, the legislature at its last
session passed law subjecting any
one who should in future employ, or
permit the employment of, any wom-
an or girl in Or about the premises
where coke is manufactured, to heavy
fine for every offense proven, -one-half
OF the fine to go to the informer.

A POLITICAL TRIBUTE TO GRANT.

CHICAGO, July 23.-Franois +. Browne,
editor of the Dial, has written the following
admirable poem on the death of Grant:
vANQUIsIIED
Not by the ball or brand,
Sped by a mortal hand
Not by the lightning stroke
When fiery tempest broke;
Not mid the ranks of wal
Fell the great conqueror!
Unmoved, undismayed.
In the crash and carnage Of the canOnade
Eye that dimmed not
Hand that failed not
Brain that swervad not.
Heart that quaiied not
Steel nerve, iron form
The dauntless spirit that overruled the storm.
While the hero peacefully sleepeth
A foeman to his chamber crept;
Lightly to the sumberer came
Touched his brow and breathed his name.
Der the stricken brow there passed
Suddenly an icy blast,
The hero worker rose EnGismayed
6aluted dcath-aad Sheathed his blade.
The conqueror of n hundred fields
To mightier conquerOr yields
No mortal foemans blow
Laid the great soldier low
Victor in his latest breath
Vanquished but by death.

DR. Shrady remained here to-day in order
that DR. Douglas and himself might, after
quiet had been restored in the household at
the cottage, converse with Col Fred Grant
on the subject of n postmortem examination
of the remains of his father. The physicians
therefore this evening repairedto the cottage
and there met the colonel with the formal
preference of request that an autopsy
might be held They stated that their pur-
pose was not in the least to confirm their
opinion of the disease, for they had at all
times been united In demonstrating the
case us one of cancer, but the time had come
when the medical staff might step aside from
the patient invite any other medical
or surgical autopsist to conduct the eXami-
nation, which should speak for itself This
both Doctors Douglas and Shrady urged as
far as professional and personal dignity
could permit; but Col Grant replied that
the entire family were SO thoroughly united
in their confidence in the diagnosis and treat
ment OF the physicians that they bould not
conceive q necessity for an autopsy.

Gen. Grant is dead. The most 1llustrious citizen

office, in difficult times, with fidelity and sue
cess. When Industrious, he received the fattering
attentions OF admiring world without vain
glory Returned to the career OF q private citi-

the reverses of fortune and the wasting of fatal
disease with patience aud serenity, The whole
nat ion Is smitten at his death.

They tell "short haul' story about prominent railway freight agent in this state which is worth repeating. He is an active Episcopalian and vestryman in the church in the little town where he lives, which is not very far from the city where he has his office and spends his busy hours. One day, when busi- ness was crowding, a man came in, who purposed starting mill at small town along the road which had to pay much more for freight than towns farther along the route paid-in other words, it suf- fered the usual short haul discrimina- tion.
 The visitor pleaded and argued, but of course in vain. Still he held on and with his persistency pretty well wore out the limited patience of the agent besides keeping other people waiting who had also called on business. Finally he left and the next man stepped up.
 "Well, sir, said the irritated agent, whereabouts is your d-d grist-mill?"
 ''I, sir, was the meek reply, ''am the rector to whom you wrote about con- ducting service next Sunday"
 His "d-d grist-mill" was the church in which the agent was an oficer.-Hart- ford Courdnt.
