William Newby, after being count­ ed as dead and buried on the battlefield of Shiloh for nearly thirty years, sud­ denly reappeared at his old home and . was identified by his wife, children and brothers as the "dead come to life." The cause of the investigation Is that o'd William Newby has applied for his "honorable" discharge from tho United States army, and that there is likely to •rise one of the most novel questions of identity, and of "back pay" perhaps, ever known in the military history of v any country. / EASY MONEY MARKETS. - tirade Little Embarrassed by Fpeeatative Movement* p R. G. Dun's weekly review says: Trade Is not very active, but almost everywhere hopeful. Failures at Boston have made shoe manufacturers cautious, i. Hides are easy, dry poods quiet, and wool •J sales moderate. The exposures o official and banking misconduct at Philadelphia tend to make business inactive, and no life § Is seen In iron; wool is dull, though some COncesslins are made by We>tem hold­ ers. At Pittsburg a rise in iron is prevented by the reopening of some Ma­ honing and Chenango furnaces, and prep­ arations of others; window glass is fairly active but flint is dull. At Cleveland iron to In more demand; trade is good in dry- SOOds, hardware und groceries, and dull in shoes. Some activity Is noted at Cincinnati in ciothing.and at Detroit trade is up to that of last year in volume, thouzh the late season has made tho wool movement slower than asaai. Throughout the West and South the fine crop prospects give encouragement, al­ most the only complaint coming from New Orleans of drought in the adjoining region.

A sPKCiAi, from Ellsworth. Me , says that Senator Ha'e, at whose homo Secre­ tary Blaine is stopping, asked a reporter why the newspaper .njen followed up Mr. Blaine so closely. The reporter re­ plied that they did not want to be "left" in case of any important political devel­ opment, such, for example, as Mr. Blaine's possible retirement from the Cabinet, or his coming out as-a Presi­ dential candidate. Senator Hale re­ sponded: "I have never hoard such a thing as his resignation mooted.

FOREIGN GOSSIP. Crop reports from the Southern prov­ inces of Russia, extending to the Volga, are bad. It is estimated that the general yield will be 40 per cent, below the average. Before Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, London, was begun the action for slan­ der of Sir William Gordon Cumming against parties to the famous baccarat game at Doncastcr, in which the Prince of Wales figured. Tho latter was in court during part of the proceedings. A man and wife and their child were found dead in their squalid rooms at Kentish Town, a suburb of London, England. All three of the bodies bore wounds inflicted with a knife. From the appearance of the bodies, and from other circumstances, the police think that tho man first cut the throats of his wife and child and then committed sui­ cide. The reason for the crime is not known, but it is supposed that poverty and the fear of starvation led to the tragedy. M. VteHEtN, a prominent broker, was declared on the Paris bourse to be a defaulter to the amount of $1,000,000. The announcement created a profound sensation. Aucubishop Croke, In an interview at Dublin, Ireland, stated that the project of settling Irish^rowbles by forming a union of the factions under the leader­ ship of John Dillon was strongly advo­ cated by many of the Irish members of Parliament. The Archbishop said that Mr. O'Brien favored Justin McCarthy as the party's leader. IN MEMORY OF GRANT, M'. »'• ; r;,- Pisreott b Not VintMl Piogott, the Texas rancher, was ar- *»igned at Truro, N.

Since then bad feeling has existed. The other oisht Whit, while drunk, went to Edges' house and tried to break in, saying he was going to whip Edge. The latter came out with his shot-gun and shot Whit, who died next day. As a result of Sam Jones' recent re­ vival In Houston, Texas, a law and order league was organized by 1,500 citizens. \ A dispatch from Paris, Tfex., says: The Wichita Indians, with whom a com­ mission is now treating, have decidod that they will not accept tho proposition to take 160 acre3 each in allotment and sell tbe balance of their land at 50 cents per acre. They will jpiake a counter- proposition to sell all their lands at $1.50 per acre ana endeavor either to estab­ lish their claim upon the lands now oc­ cupied by the Cheyennes and Arapahoes or, failing in that, to purchase homes ftgionp the Choctaws and Chickasaws, where ttey think Jhey will be more free from interruption. Th»s veiling qI the white statue of £ Confederate 'soldier surmounting a toonument at .Tacksonj Miss., attracted an immense throng of visitors to wit­ ness the ceremonies incident thereto, and all passed off without a single un- propitious circumstance. Gov. Lowrev's tribute to Jefferson Davis especially went to the hearts of the veterans. Tho next annual session of the United Con* federate Veterans will be held in Rett Orleans, June 8, 1802.

It is announced that the Mackey syn­ dicate has 'purchased the Mobile dt Ohio Railroad. The amount involved in the deal is $3,500,000. The present manage­ ment of the road will remain until the annual meeting in December, when it is likely that there will be several changes. Mr. Mackey will probably be elected President in place of J. CI Clark. The new purchase is 700 miles long and ex­ tends from East St. Louis to Mobile, Ala Ownro to the general feeling of dis­ trust in regard to the financial situation, there was a run on all the banks at Buenos Ayres. Large crowds of deposit­ ors surrounded the various institutions, and considerable excitement prevailed. The outlook is viery unfavorable. A telegram Jtrom Iquique, Chili, an­ nounces the arrival at that port of the steamship Itata and that she had been delivered by the insurgents to the Amer­ ican war-ships there.

The streets of Galena, the little Illi­ nois city where Gen. Grant spent the years preceding his emergence from ob­ scurity into everlasting fame, were thronged with visitors on tbe occasion of the unveiling of the Grant monu­ ment presented to Galena by H. Ii Kohlsaat, the well-knoArn business man of Chioftga It is doubtful if tho city *w ever before held so large a crowd. The streets were fairly packed with men, women and children in holiday garb, each bent upon adding his quota to the great song of honor that goos forth to the dead hero of Appomattox. The generosity of a Galena boy, now grown to be a Chicago man, has reared in the former home of Gen. Grant a noble monument which is destined to mark forever the love, esteem and ven­ eration in which Illinois holds the memory of her greatest citizen-soldier. Distinguished citizens were gathered from all points of the Union to celebrate the unveiling of the monument as it de­ serves. Mr. Kohlsaat's gift is a credit alike to the city of his btF(]i, the city ot his adoj?tlon} apd to hin^elf. The die on the base of the statue had been completed in the last few days by having cut thereon the names of twelve battles in which Grant was engaged, as follows: Palo Alto, Monterey, Molino del Rey, Chapultepee, Belmont, Fort Doneison, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chatta­ nooga, Spottsylvanla, Petersburg, and Appomattox. Hard by the Insecure old house that gave shelter to the old commander the statue stands--a noble bronze cast in heroic dimensions and mounted on a pedestal of carved and glistening red granite. Three tiers of gray granite form its base. It is in Grant Park--a six-acre plot of ground high above the '•Jver, purchased and given to the city through the instrumentality of two Chicag«Hin» H. H. Kohlsaat and James W. ScOtt, troth of whom are" proud Of having come out of Galena.4 Already the park is graced by a soldiers' monu­ ment and a fountain. Sculptor Gelert did his work faithful­ ly and artistically. He has given to Ga­ lena a marvelous life-like stalue of the General in civilian attire and ru an atti­ tude of meditation. "Grant, our Citizen," is the simple inscription on the front sur­ face of the monument The total coet of the statue is about $25,000. The exercises were begun by prayer by the Rev. H. W. Atchison, after which Miss Pauline Kohlsaat of Chicago pulled the cord and unveiled the statue, the band playing "Hail to the Chief" at the time. Ex-Gov. Hoard of Wisconsin then pre- sent&cTthe monuipent with the following words: I am commlBBioned on behalf of one of the distinguished citizens ot your State--Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat, of Chicago, "a man whose soul de­ lighted in goodly deeds,"--to tender you this no­ ble memorial of Gen. Grant. 1 need not tell you in set words of the purpose of the donor, I -need not speak of the rare soul that lies behind this noble gift, of hie generosity, of his patriot­ ism. of Ills abiding love for hie feilow-m6n and hie country. All this is a thousand times more expressively told in the Bilent yet eloquent presence of yonder heroic statue. Who shall paint the rose or adequately tell of the subtle essence of its perfume? Who shall bound by descriptive phrase the love of a mother or define the devotion of a wife ? "A good and perfect gift" like this, and tbe creative spirit of the giver. Who shall hope to bear them to your hearts on the failing wings of speech? Instinctively now our thoughts are upon him who was ever our invincible and unconquer­ able pilot, the God-given Orant. Inseparably connected with the name of Grant will always stand tbe city of Galena. He was your own be­ loved citizen. Here he uttered the words that were pregnant with all the after-meaning of his His speech was as rounds of applause. follows; Thfrty years ago yoax city numbered among its eitisess a man so modest that he was little known te the community; a merchant so hum­ ble that his activities were not felt in four business. Hires years later his lame fllumlned the earth, and the calculations of •vary com­ mercial venture and of every obstructive en­ terprise in the country Were baaed upon the success or failure of his plans. He was then supporting his family on a thousand dollars a year, and before the third anniversary of his departure from your city he was spending four millions a day for the preservation of the Union. One of the patriotic meetings, common at that time all over the North, was held here to sustain President tincoln in his call for seventy-five thousand men to suppress the rebellion. The ardor and eloquenon of John A. Rawlins so impressed an auditor whom none of the Congressmen and prominent citizens cm tbe platform had ever met that he subsequentl y made the orator his chief of staff and Secretary of War. Borne one discovered that Captain Grant, a graduate of West Point and a veteran of tbe Uexican war, lived in this city, and he was invited to preside at the for­ mation of a military company. He was so diffi­ dent that, few heard his speech of three sen­ tences, but in that short address was oondensed all the eloquence and .logic of the times. "Ton know the object for which we are assembled. Men are needed to preserve the Union. What is your pleasure?" He organized and drilled that ,company and led it to the Governor at Spring- field. Bv that march Galena lost a citizen and tbe republic found its savior. Grant's career will be the paradox of history,- Parallels cannot be drawn for him with tha great captains of the world. Historians, by common ooneent, place Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Julius Ctsmr and Napoleon Bona* parte in the front rank. But each of them had' learned tbe art of war by continuous service and unequaled opportunities and displayed the most brilliant qualities at every-period of their achievements. Hannibal and Osesar had woof universal fame in the '3Ts. Alexander died 99, grieving because l?.e had no more worlds M. conquer, and Napoleon at 87 was master of Europe. But Grant at 40 was an obsenre leath­ er merchant in Galena. As a cadet at West- Point he had risen only just above the middle of his class. Ab a subaltern on the frontier and io Mexico he had done no more than perform bil duty with tbe courage and capacity of the aver­ age We«t--Polnter. But ths moment that the great responsibili­ ties were thrust upon him and tbe fate of his oountry rested upon hla shoulders, this indiffer«; ent farmer, business man, merchant, became the foremost figure of the century. The re* serve powers of a dominant intellect, which or­ dinary affairs could not move, came into action. A mighty mind which God had kept for the hour of supreme danger to the republic grasped the scattered elements of strength, solidified them Into a resistless force and organized victory. He divined the purposes of the enemy as well as he knew his own plans. His brain became .clearer, his strategy more perfect and his confi­ dence in himself more serene as his power in­ creased. He could lead the assault at Doneison or the forlorn hope at Shiloh or maneuver his forces with exquisite skill and rare originality of resources at Vicksburg as the best of brigade or corps commanders, or before Richmond calmly conduct a campaign covering a conti­ nent and many armies with consummate gen­ eralship. His plana did not contemplate defeat. The movement he always made was "advance." The order he always gave was "forward."

But the memory of the church of his mother was ever visible in his revtreut regard for her teachings. The applause of soldiers for their commander, of partisans for their chief leader, and of the world for one of its most, illustrious heroes was grateful, but the sweetest music for him was within the family circle, in the loving compan­ ionship of his wife and children and tbe prattle of his grandchildren, 'i.bough lie received such honor and recognition abroad and such distinc­ tion at home, he was always, whether in the presence of royalty or of the people, a modest, typical American oitizi n.

'oaroer- Entering hie efcora the morning after tha dit,patch came announcing the surrender of buniter, he put on his coat and said : "The Government educated rue for the army, and although I have served through one war I am still in debt to the Government and willing to discharge the obligation." I,oyal words ; brave words, and in the light of all they meant for the weal of the American nation they are subline words. There was set before him a supreme necessity --his country's peril. He accepted bis duty, as do all great souls, In tbe white light of the sim- Ele truth. Called of God to this great mission, e answered to every summons as did Samuel ot old : "Here am I." Young men, in til© Sight of this great example, and the honor and glory the world has accorded it, how grandly stands forth the truth of that utterance of the great Teacher: "He t bet will lose his life shall nave it." How iuhpirinu. amid all the sordid greed and Belt-seeking of men in public affairs, is tbe transparent heart, life and purpose of General Grant, No man ever plowed himself into the conviction of his fellows without this Chriet- llke quality of putting his purpose above him­ self. The common people, rarely at fault, al­ ways trusted him, and" he never failed them. Fortunate is that nation that has such an ex­ ample of manhood, patriotism, courage, and fidelity. " t'itteems t>f «aleua, recetve this gift, made doubly precious by tho sublime life and devo­ tion to country of him it represents. As you have always guarded the name and fame of Grant, so guard and preserve this memorial, and round and about you shall be the prayer* of all tbe American people, East ana West, North and South. Briefly accepting the grift, Mr. K. H. McClell'an, Chairman of the Board of Park Commissioners, ' introduced Mr. Depew. The famous after-dinner speak­ er and brilliant orator was .greeted with Basil told him that tbe transports at Pltteburg Landtag would not carry away one-third of his force Grant said: "If tuat becomes necessary they will hold all there are left." His Vicks­ burg campaign was against all the tearhings of the military schools and the unanimous opin­ ion.# of his oouncil of war. A •veteran strate­ gist cried In indignant remonstrance : "You will cut loose from your base of supplies, and that is contrary to all the rules." Grant answered: "Unites we capture Vicksburg the North will cut off our supplies." And the sorely bereaved and disheartened people were transported with joy and hope by the Fourth of July message: "Vicksburg has surrendered." The Western armies never knew their res! sties* power until they felt the hand of this master. No better or braver body of soldiers ever marched or fought than the Army of the Potomao. It lost battles through bad generalship and generals by camp jealousies and capital intrigues. Thousands of its heroes fell in fruitless fights, but never wavered in its superb confidence and courage. At last it found a leader worthy of itself and after scores of bloody victories ended the rebellion under Grant, We are not yet far enough from the passlouB of the civil strife to do full justioe to the genius of the general who commanded the rebel arinv. England's greatest living general, Lord Wolseley, who served with bim, assigns him ft foremost place among the commanders of modt.ru times. He possessed beyond most lead­ ers the loyal and enthusiastic devotion of his people, ana he was the idol of his army. In es­ timating the results and awarding the credit of the last campaign of the war, we must remem­ ber that Gen. Lee had defeated or LatUed every opponent for three years, and that, after a con- teat unparalleled in desperate valor, frightful carnage and matchless strategy, he surrendered his swot<& to Grant. The most signal services rendered by Grant to Mil country were at Apiwmattox, and in his eon test with President John Hon. The passions aroused by the civil war were most inflamed when the Confederacy collapsed. Grief and vengeance are bad counselors. One serene in­ tellect was possessed of an intuition which was second to prophecy aud was clothed with pow­ er. He row through the vindictive suggestions of the hour that t he seceded States must be ad­ mitted to the Union and tbtir people vested with all the rights of American cUtienshlp and " " xient, or the sternly ra- of jov by marched <r famous" 5riTer, "Tlie wir is over, the rebels are our countrymen again and the best sign of re­ joicing after the victory will l»e to abstain from all demonstrations in the field." He gave to the Confederates their hoi ses and belongings and told them to go home, cultivate their farms and repair the ravages of war. He assured mil, from Lee to tbe private soldier, that they would be •ate and unmolested so long ma they observed their paroles. To enter Richmond, the capital of the Con­ federacy, whose spires had been in sight of the besiegers so long, would have been a resistleaa temptation for a wuaker man. But Ma mind was not on spectacular display or triumphal marches over humiliated foes. It was bent on peace and pacification. I know of n© scene In our history so dramatic aa the meeting between Lincoln and Grant at the White House three days after the surrender at Appomattox. The President, who had so loyally sustained the all the privileges of State govern war had been fought iu vain. 1 pressed the expressions of joy by his troops (be yanquieheij epemy mftrcued by, with his " B order, "Tne wir is Through tbe verses ot great poets rune a familiar a train, through the works of great composers an oft-repe&ted tune arid through the speeches of great orators a recurring and characteristic thought. Theae are tbe germs whioh exhibit the moving forces of their minds. During the war, "I propose to move immedi­ ately upon your worKs, "Unconditional star- render, "I shall take no backward ^tep," "I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes alt summer," are the beacon lights of the plans and strategy of Grant the soldier; at Appomatoz, "The war is over," "The rebels are our countrymen againat the threshold of the ITesideacv "Let ua have jieaee" : on his bed of agony and death at Mount McGregor, when his power of BpeecV was gone, writing to a Con- fedcrate General by his bedside, "Much as 1 suffer, 1 do it with pleasure if by that suffering can be accomplished the union of my country," are the indices of tbe labor, the aspirations and the pmyer of Grant, the statesman and the pat­ riot. Gov. Flfer followed with a brief speech. "Thirty years ago," he said, "th€» ex­ periment of free popular government on this continent entered upon its great and final trial before the civilized world. American nationality, American liberty, American character and civilization, came up to the judgment har and hour of the God of nations. It was a supreme General, and the General who had so magnifi­ cently responded to the confidence of the Presi­ dent, met for the last time in their lives. Grant returned with deep emotion the fraternal grasp of the only man in the country who fully un­ derstood and was in complete accord with the policy of reconciliation and repose. The work of the warrior was done and the labor of the statesman begun. Yesterday it was destruc­ tion; to-morrow it must be reconstruction. Tnat night the bullet of the assassin ended the life of our greatest President since Wash­ ington, and postpon&i the settlement of sec­ tional difficultiee and tbe cementing of the Union for many \ears. There have been many Presidents of the Uni­ ted States and the roll ^iH >»e indefinitely ex­ tended, We have had a number of brilliant soldiers, but only one great general. The honors of civil life could odd nothing to the fame of General Grant, and it has been often argued that his career in the Presidency detracted from his reputation. Such will not be the judgment of the impartial historian. He was without experience or training for public life and un­ familiar witb politicians aud their methods. The spoils system, from which he could not escape, nearly wrecked his first administra­ tion. His mistakes were due to a quality which Is tho noblest of human virtues--loyalty to friends. Kven at this short distance from scenes so vfvid in our memories party rancor has lost its bitterness and blindness. On'great questions affecting the honor and. credit of the nation he was always t-onnd and emphatic, and the e/imfuistration of Gen.

When the great republic numbered her1 hosts and set captains over them it was found that Illinois, which had furnished the statesman, was destined also to fur- the great captain of that historic crisis- He came from the people and his cause was theirs. "We are here to receive and dedicate this monument. Such a gift is twice blessed; it blesses alike the giver and the takers. It proves that the great principles defended by Grant live im­ mortal in the generous breast of the donor. For this patriotic testimonial I extend to Mr Kohlsaat the thanks of the people of Illinois, and with the thanks I voice for them I mingle the congratulations of all lovers of liberty that he has been generously moved thus to link his name with all that is worthy and nobie and heroic in the history of his country." It- la a mistake to suppose that the weather is colder the further north one go^s. The northern . pole of greatest cold Is only about 300 miles northeast of Yakutsk,. Siberia, where the mean an- .jiuaji. temperature is a little lower than in the highest latitudes reached by Kares «ad Greeley, 1,000 miles farther north. Double X4fe led by Two Bsadt of llgloas Denominations--For 6*4 sad Native Land--Thrnt la Rev. Mr. Vsseil'i Excuse, But It Dosn't *Go with Captain. Porter. It was a remarkable story that Capfc. Porter, of the Secret Service, told a Chi­ cago reporter. The Captain had just, returned from Springfield, 11L, where- he- had taken to he locked up the Rev. George Vancl), a Baptist preacher, who was arrested near Duquoin, III, for passing spurious money. The fact that makes the case mor* than ordinarily interesting fs that Van- ell is the second minister arrested in. that locality for similar crimes withiot seven days. The first instance was the arrest of the Rev. "Jerry" Holmes for malting the bogus money, and now com* the details of the second Offender's cap­ ture, "^ancil is greatly Inferior to Holmes,* said Capt. Porter. "He has not the> shrewdness nor the bodily health that Holmes has, and it was therefore an easy matter for Holmes to impose upon Van- cll and make a dupe of him. VancilV reputation as a liar is much more wide­ spread than his fame as a good man. The arrest was made upon information given us bv the Rev. FishbtEek, pastor of the Christian Church at Duquoin. Thi» divine heard Vancil's voluntary confes­ sion, which was very complete, and was marked by expressions of repentaurft and humility. Vancii told me his story as we were returning upon the train. " 'Jerry Holmes was one of the worst characters in Duquoin,' he said. 'Every one shunned him, as they thought he waa too far gone to redeem. I tried to con­ vert him. One night we rode over a» long, dark road together. We talked about religion, and after a long argu­ ment he declared himself converted, and fell upon his knees in the muddy road and prayed. A short time thereafter h» was appointed a minister aqd licensed to preach the gospel. A short time later I walked to church one morning with Holmes, and he said he had some coun­ terfeit money which he wanted me to- dispose of. I was very indignant and threatened to give him up to the author­ ities. He talked me out of that idea, and finally I took the money upon hla promising to cease his evil ways. When he handed me two bad dollars, I thought I would have a stronger hold upon him with tho money in my possession. 44'I have a wife and eight children, and they must be fed. My salary is not large enough to support them well, and when my iittle girl wanted some little thing I passed the bad money and got the triuket for her.' "Holmes* went away from Duquoin, and it is alleged that Vancii wrote to- him, telling him he had passed it. When Holmes returned to Duquoin he brought back a sackful of the bad dollars, and helped Vancii hide them. Holmes gava Vancii nine more of tho dollars, and thc> latter Dassed three of them at a little circus that came into the town. Several- days thereafter Vancii entered the ex­ press office to receive a package upon which 25 cents was due. The expresa agent, R. G. Wheatiey, happened to be reading of Holmes1 arrest. He speke of it to Vancii, and the latter confessed that he had been eqnally guilty in the- sight of the world, but he knew that the Lord would forgive him, for he had done it so as to find out about the entire gang and tell upon them." Wheatiey immediately called over the Rev. Mr. Fishback, who was told the story of Vancil's disgrace. The Chris­ tian divine immediately telegraphed to- Capt Porter, and tho latter, accom­ panied by Deputy United States Marshal Bacon, visited Vancil's residence, sev­ eral miles from Duquoin. The erring divine was found wrapped in the arms of Morpheus. Upon their explaining their mission Vancii fell upon his knees in prayer before the hard-hearted ones who would take him from his home. Vancil's protestations and pleadings were so loud that the eight children ap­ peared upon the scene badly frightened. After Vancii saw that his words were having no apparent effect he ceased his> importuntngs and kissed his weeping wife and frightened little ones and started off with his captors, .saying: "Wei1, they may starve, but the law will be avenged, and of course the law doesn't care what happens to those we leave behind us." "Vancii still insists that he is inno­ cent," said Captain Porter, after his re­ turn from the held of his operations, "but the facts are dead against him. The money he passed was well made and could not be detected by any one but an expert. Vancii Is a very pious man, and every move he made he said was Id the interest of the Lord." According to Captain Porter Vancii is a very ignorant man, and hardly knows enough to pick strawberries. He is forty-eight years of age and has eight children. He lived on a farm close to Farmer Adklns, whose wife Is Vancil's sister. The prisoner was taken before United States Commissioner William Reed, at Springfield, and In de­ fault of $800 bail went to jaii. Kev. Jerry Holmes, who made the coin and who was captured a week ago, held religious services in jail last Sun­ day and had all his fellow-prisoners shouting for glory. Vancii was at one time a Methodist minister, it is said, but left that denom­ ination under some sort of a cioud, and afterward joined the Baptista INSANE ASYLUM®.
