DEATH UE "A sELF-MADE MAN.

The death of Logan Urish Reavis Of ST
Louis, "a announced In the REVIEWS
dispatches yesterday morning, removed
from life's stage one of its most prominent
and distinctive characters. He was born
of humble parenta9e in the Sangamon bot
tom, in Illinois. So years ago. His supe.
rior intellect led him to higher aspirations
than his surroundings promised. and In.
duced him to struggle heroically for An ed
ucatioa. Having reached the village high
school. by his own exertions, his talent
was recognized and In 1851, he was ten.
dered Q school in which he taught about
four years. The tendency Of his inclina-
tion was in the literary field, and as a
stepping stone in that direction he entered
q printing Office at Beardstown, and soon
became one Of its owners. The usual Vi
cissitudes of country Newspaper life at
tended his efforts. but he fought
manfnlly for an existence and
meanwhile unremittinely pursued his
studies, realizing at last that he was crea-
ted for q broader field, he removed in 1865
TO st. Louis, where bis ability soon at
tracted attention and he was literally en-.
couraged BY the business men Of the place
in the advocacy of . long cherished meas.
ure. the removal of the national capital TO
the Mississippi valley. To the accomplish
ment of this object he consecrated the ma
jor portion Of the vemainder Of his life.
lie wrote and published "Tbe New Re.
public, or the Transition Complete, with
an Approaching Change of National EN-
pire, based upon the Com merc,al and In
teruational Expansion of the Great West, +"
"a Change Of National Empire, or Argu
ments for the Removal of the National
Capital from Washington 10 the Missis-
sippi Valley" ''St. Louis, the Future
Great City of the World" "a Representa-
tive Life of Horace Greeley, with an Intro
duction by Csssius M. Clay" Thoughts
for the Young Men and Women
Of America, ""Life of Gen. VIM. S. Har.
ney" and Railway and River System. ="
Besides these works he lectured extensive.
ly throughout the United States and in
Europe, and made three trips to London
in furtherance of plan to encourage de-
sirable immigration to the Mississippi
valley. He was staupch friend Of Horace
Greeley. who wrote him a characteristic
letter, q fac simile of which was published
in his "St. LOUIS the Future Great City Of
the World" Although physically affiict-
ed, suffering from An incursble disease
that was equivalent to deformity, max
ing him an easy target for the heartless
caricaturist and the inhuman jester, the
elements Of greatness which he possessed
enabled him to tower intellectually 30 far
above his tormentors as to look down upon
them with contempt had his noble nature
permitted him to cherish any sentiment
but pity for the weak. Such q character
is admirable during life and in death
glorious. st. Louis owes L. U. Reavis the
tallest monu ment that can be cut from the
granite qusrries of Pilot Knob.
