? The Grand Army of the Republic never
received a more severe blow than the death
of Comrade William McClelland. He never
failed in his duty toward the order and
never hesitated TO sacrifice himself for the
good of all. Whether it were in local, de-
partment or national matters, he was al
v-avs ready with his invaluable counsel and
services when they were called for. In his
position as chairman of the National Coun-
Gil of Administration he was higher than
the Commander in Chief as this body
composed of only nine men-is the highest
tribunal of the order, representing the Ma
tioual encampment. No greater compli-
ment could have been accorded him than
the five successive elections to this high
Office. So perfect was his fitness for the
difficult place that opposition to him was
never thought of. Yet withal, he was the
most modest of men,
The Allegheny County Executive Com
mittee, of which Comrade McClelland was
so long valued member, passed these reso-
lutions:
"Adjutant General william McClelland is
dead! Such was the startling news that
flashed through Pennsylvania yesterday
evening. Though not unexpected, yet when
ever the dread messenger comes within
reach of our hearts how appalling.
After a long and painful illness, Comrade
hcClelland has passed to his final rest. In
all that pertains to nobleness OF character
he was a man among men.
"His gallant record as a soldier, HIS honor
able career as q citizen, his services TO the
State, and his usefulness to the g. A K,
whether in department. or national affairs,
are too well known to need more mention
here. None came in contact with him but
60 love him. He was gentle and unassum-
ing, hi-h minded and honorable in all the
relations OF life. His daily department was
pure. He was by instinct as well as by edu-
cation, q Christian gentleman. In his
death this commonwealth loses the services
OF a cultured and conscientious officer, our
country an hOnored ana useful citizen, and
the g. 4. L. a wise counselor and a genial
cOmrade. Cut off in the prime of life and in
the midst OF q useful and honorable career
his death is indeed sad one.
"The termination Of long and confidential
friendship existing between the deceased
and the members Of this committee adds q
new pang to our hearts. Tho Chair
made vacant by this dread sum
mons will be hard to fill
But we must all bow to the relentless man
date and accept our loss with the heaviness
Of sorrow. Truly, in the midst of life We
are in death. Behold the silver cord is
loosed, the golden bowl IS broken and the
spirit OF our cOmrade has returned to GOD
who gave it. His eminent abilities and his
good qualities of head and heart stand as
monuments of virtue to his memory.

BREAKFAST BUDGET.

A machine has been introduced in
Germany for picking up street sweep.
ings.9 This machine, which Is drawn by
horses, takes up in its forward motion
tho moist street debris OF mud which
has been deposited in s!reaks by tho
Preceding sweeper. The framo OF tho
machine carries, suspended from tho
rear axle, an iron trough of half cylin.
drical shupe,, about four feet in, length
and nearly three feet wide. At the in.
side OF tho rear wheel IN open paddle
wheel Is attached, which takes up tho
sweepings and drops them into the
trough. A small pillow at tho front
serves to narrow the strip OF sweepings,
which may possibly have been scattered
somewhat by tho hoofs OF the horses
drawing the machine. Whom the
trough is filed 1t can DO instantly dump.
ed at any required spot bp means Of O
crank and chain arrangement. 1t is
stated that this machine, which is easily
drawn by two horses and managed by
ono man, can remove from four to six
miles OF double rows Of sweepings in o
day.

Chauncey NJ. Depewis to deliver the
address at the laying OF the corner stone
OF the Grant monument, in anticipation
OF which event tho New York Adrertiser
says: "Let Mr.. Depew identity himself
with the memory OF tho great soldier
and his monument, even as Mr.. Lincoln's
name is associated with the shaft in the
cemetery at Gettysburg"
The great effort OF the Gettysburg oc-
casion was made by Mr.. Evarts The
Immortal success was achieved by Pres
idcnt Lincoln. Mr.. Evarts delivered q
fine Grafton, of length thought to be
required by the event. MIR. Lincoln
spoke with brevity unusual for such
an occasion, and at tho time his remarks
were thought to be altogether made
quate, SO much so that tho critical
friends who listened to him were disap-
pointed, MOTTO say mortified.
Nobody rememb crs the long Grafton
OF that day; few recall so much as that
it was delivered. Mr.. Lincoln's little
talk has taken its place among the Eng
fish classics, model Of a pure and
iorceful style, OF noble thought and
lofty patriotism. 1t will live while
anything remains OF tho language in
%
which it was spoken, for it is ono OF
the sublimist utterances that ever fell
from human lips, and us simple as it is
sublime.
Mr.. Depow is IN orator OF uncommon
ability, and he may identity himself
with the Grant monument, which may
ho live to SEQ completed; but that he
will deliver an Grafton comparable with
Mr.. Iincoln's Gettysburg gem, is to the
last degree improbable.
He has great subject, sbrt he has not
the inspiration OF the cotemporaneous
making Of great history OF which him
self is the central figure. Ia i.
