Washington, Aug. l6.-Mr. Adams. the
British charge d'affaires, has telegraphed
the department of state that the customs
charges on miners outfits for the Klon-

Plant IN Colorado

Denver Col, Aug. l5.-Hon. James
Wilson, secretary of agriculture, and c.
f. Saylor, government expert on beet

OF New York, who will explain to them
the Plateau-Grand irrigation project and
show them the tract of 10000 acres on
which 1T is proposed to erect beet sugar
factory at a cost of 100000. 1t is in
tended to colonize the land under the
desert act of the state of Colorado. The
factory will be built simultaneously with
the Plateau-Grand canal, which will take
sufficient water from the Grand river to
lrrigate 10000 acres in Mesa county, Col.

turmoil of the city behind it; the few
will think of Grant as a real person
and see in his tomb the spirit of the
man who endured hard duties quietly,
| met disappointments quietly, enjoyed
triumphs quietly. It seems to me that
| all this pageantry and pride is the very
| last thing Grant himself would have
approved; the thought of being idly
stared at by sightseers would have dis
| quoted him.
| The encoura cement he gives to US
ordinary individuals is great at every
point. He was not brilliant man but
! he was a forceful, persistent one, who
just tried to do right and if unsuccess-
full just tried again. The thing that
seemed duty to him he would follow
through thick and thin with the re
| lentlessness of Death. His greatness
consisted in doing one thing well, and
that the thing he was best fitted to do.
| 1t is no derogation from his useful
ness as a model for the average life
to say that he ceased to be really great
as soon as the rumble of battle had died
down. At that moment he rose to the
zenith of magnanimity, when he de-
clared Let there be peacel" when he
returned the horses to the vanquished
officers because they would need them
| for blowing; and when he forbade
either music or signs of eXultation in
the Northern Army while the arms of

himself even in name with a hare
Drained gambling plan.
Yet like the light at eventide after a
day of storm, which seems to call back
all the possible glories of the hours that
are past, his sublimity of character
re-asserted itself when the doom of
death had been pronounced upon him.
| His last three months We're grand in
the extreme. Not even the long strug-
gle of wounded Garfield with Death
could equal Grants fortitude. Fully
conscious that the angel whose behests
he had followed in the time of war, had
now come for him; painfully aware of
he shattered fortune he seemed forced
to leave; nervously sensitive to the
ignominious effect brought upon his life
by those whom he had trusted in his
unbusinesslike way, he set his will to
wrest victory from defeat. On-on-on
while the sands of life were ebbing;
on-on-on-even after his mind reeled

pletion of his biography, waving Death
aside until the work was done.
Do not let us place him among the
gods. He was not of their kind. We

In the Gotham grounds is now to be
seen the Swiss chalet, Fechters pres
ent to the novelist, in which he did his
last stroke of work.
On my first visit to Gad's Hill [ recall
a charming walk to the Pickwickian
localities, of which the genial Boz"
himself did the honors. We saw Roch-
ester, talked to the woman in charge of
the Six Poor Travellers. and then went
on to the Leather Bottle Inn whose
swinging sign now displays the figure
of the amiable Pickwick himself. Pass
ing by Gotham Hall, L admired the
avenue of fine old trees, broad and
noble; but, oddly enough, a chain was
drawn across. Lord Darnley had told
him, Boz said, there was an old fam
lily superstition that no living member
of it should pass up or down without
mourning fatal consequences. 1t was,
of course folly. Lord Darnley went on
to say, but it would be impolitic to go
against the prejudices of the villagers
The only exception was the case OF a
funeral in the family, when the chain
was removed, and the gloomy process
sion passed through the avenue The
lord just deceased, it may be presumed,
enjoyed" this privilege.
At Gad's Hill Boz kept a cheerful
house; and the neighborhood must have
missed his amiable and attractive
daughter so recently taken away, who
kept the thing going, as it might be
called. She was often seen at the gay
balls at Woolwich and the Chatham
dances While Dickens had his great
dogs, she had her quaint but somewhat
short-tempered Poneranan Bouncer. to
which she was devotedly attached
and from which she rarely parted.
There has been reissued rom the Rox-
burghe Press" her interesting little
