II becomes my painful duty to an

erncr Samuel j. Ti!den, Of New York
which occurred Mt Grayslone, his
home, at S:l5 o'clock this morning,
caused by failure Of the heart, following
uu acute attack Of n chronic disease.
Two physicians and his niece were

unexpected death. Thus SUDDENLY and
without warning TO them the people of
the American Republic are bereaYcd of
the wisest Of their great statesmen; the
noblcst Of their patriots, the purest OF
their countrymcn.
The history Of our States records the
name of no magistrate more sagacious,
no counsellor more wise, no public
servant more faithful. For many
years he has been the conspicuous and
acknowledged chieltain of the great
party to whose principles he has shown
lifelong devotion, while al the same
time his example has been admired
and his opinions respected by the best
men Of ali parties. He is taken away
from us in the fuli brightness Of his
great mind, loaded with hunors and
crowned with the love Of all who
knew his excellence of character,
leaving his teachings for our guidance
and his example for our legacy.
] recommend that public offices be-
closed on tho day appointed for his
funeral and that the proper military
and civic hunors be paid to his
memory.

the Fort Scott Monitor says:
Everybody knows that we believe
with oil our heart that Kansas is the

much Inore for his toll and labor

have those from other states who do
not see it as we do. We have those
who do not like the prairie Or the eli.
mate. Others are restless and want to
still go further west.
To all such we say, go South. A
more genial climate cannot be found
than that of North louisiana and
Southern Arkansas. 4 healthy coun.

The Biggest Thingson Earth.

The greatest wall in the world is the
Chinese wall, built by the first emper-
or of the Tsin dynasty, about 220 B. O.,
as protection against the Tartars. 1t
traverses the northern boundary OF
China, and is carried over the highest
hills, through the deepest valleys,
across rivers and every other natural
obstacle. Its length is 1850 miles.
Among the most remarkable natural
echoes is that of Eagles Nest on the
banks of Killarney, in Ireland, which
repeats bugle call until 1t seems to be
sounded from hundred instruments,
and that of the banks of the Naha, be-
tween Bingen and Coblentz, which re-
peats q sound seventeen times.
The most remarkable artificial echo
known is that of the Castle of Simon
eta, about two miles from Milan. It
is occasioned by the existence of two
parallel walls of considerable length.
1t repeats the report of pistol sixty
times.
The most remarkable whirlpool is the
maelstrom of the northwest coast OF
Norway and the southwest of Mos.
kenRsol, the most southerly of the
Lofoden isles. It was once supposed tC
be unfathomable. but the depth has
been shown not to exceed twenty
fathoms.
The greatest cataract in the world is
that of Niagara. The horseshoe fall or
the Canadian side, has perpendicular
descent of158 feet The height of the
American fall is 167 feet. The Horse
shoe fall, Which carries larger volum,
of water than the American fall, il
about 800 yards wide and extends from
the Canadian shore to Goat Island.
The biggest diamond in the world
if indeed 1t be diamond, is the Bre
ganza, which forms part of the Por

carats. However, not little doub
