The living apartments in the Barto
building are being fitted up for Mr..
and Mrs. A. Barto of St. Cloud.
The plumbers are at work and within
two weeks the improvements will be
completed, when they will occupy
them. Consideration for the health of
the Governor has led this movement,
that he may have the constant associ-
alton of his sons and their families.
George Rien has returned IRON a
trip to Kenmare, N. D., whittier he

are excellent crops, the grass is
abundant and good, and the water
pure. Another excursion will leaye
Glenwood on the 18th inst. Kenmare
is on the 500, and Mr.. Rien will give
all the information necessary.
A man who gave his name as Alvin
Patteson, stranger in the city, on
Friday afternoon last, met Joseph
Ebensteiner on Third-st., and without
provocation knocked him down with
his fist, and struck him a half a dozen
times after he was down. Officer Carr
saw the whole proceedings, and took
the brute to the city lookup. The next
day Judge Wilcox sent him to the
county Jail for thirty days.
DR.. A. w. Cummings has returned
from a trip into the Minnesota Valley.
He says that active work is being done
in the grading of the north and south
road, which has been refefed to as the
Gulf road, from Kansas City to Sank
Centre. He says the understanding
is down there that it will go to Little
Falls, and not this city. He had no
conversation with any official, and he
only reflects the general opinion as
e. ,,~essed in that locality.

genius gave immortality. Now militia
ry glory shines with luStCr, and in Cv
cry country the glory of the fine arts
is shroudcd in darkness. My voice is
too feeble to be heard on an occasion
so solemn and mOmcntOuS and so new
to me. But as that voice is pure as
1t has never tlattercd any species of
tyranny-it has never been rendered
unworthy of celebrating hcroiSm and
virtue.
Nevertheless, these funeral and mil
itary hOnorS will speak to all hearts.
1t needs not the aid Of speech to raise
strong and indcSCribablc emotions The
mourning which the first consul or
ders for Washington declares TO France
that Washington's example is not lost.
1t is less for the illuStriOuS general
than for the bcncfactor and friend of
Il great people that the Grape of mourn

civil war, humanity took refuge in
his tent and was never rcpulScd. In
triumph and in defeat he was always
as tranquil as wisdom, as simple aS
virtue. The finer feelings of the heart
never abandoned him, even in those
moments when his own interest would
seem to Justify a recurrence to the
laws of vengeance.
at is these extraordinary men who
appear at intervals on this vast scene
with characters commanding and IL
lustriouS. An unknown and superior
cause sends them when ii is fit to lay
the foundations of new or to bull uD
the ruins of ol$ empires. 1t is in vain
that these men step aside or minglc
with the crowd. Destiny leads them
on. They are carried from obstacle

until they arrive at the summit of pow
