HOWELL ft CO.*8 Newspaper Advertising lUireau (JO Spruce Street), where advertising sr,r,v ft NEW YORK- i ' / GRANT IS DEAD. ^ Qfanttbe man, the soldier, the slates* man. to dead and the Nation Is In tears. The news of his death which occurred on Thursday morning last, at Hount McGregor, N. YM although an­ ticipated, was received jeith the most profound sorrow all over the land. It has been well said the hand trembles that writes, "General Graot is dead." We shall not no# attempt to review the career of General Grant as a sol­ dier or statesman. The mere announce- merit of his death calls to mind his brilliant achievements. His Ave years of military service and eight years as chief executive of the Nation covers the most important and critical period or the Nation's history, The history of General Grant's military career would embrace the history of the war, while as a statesman he had to deal with the still more delicate and diffi cult question, reconstruction or res­ toration. Having served his country well and viade his name illustrious in history, he has passed away at peace with all his countrymen, and command­ ing the respect and love of men of all parties and sections. The civilized world has reudered him its tribute, and the great of all Nations have rec­ ognized in him a man of a century, and one of the preeminently great men In the world's history. Coming gener­ ations of Americans will read of him with pride, and history will perpetuate liis name so long as Republlcau govern­ ment, by and tor the people, shall exist. A long article, descriptive of the closing hours of his life, together with his portrait and a biographical sketch, can be found on the inside pages of this paper. i^The Kingston correspondent or the Sycamore Weekly gives Hon. C. E. Fuller the following complimentary notice: 4iC. E. Fuller, of Belvidere, is a candidate for congress and will visit the most important places In the dis­ trict soou to see what bis prospects are. We think this district could do no bet­ ter than send him to represent us. Certainly he is competent and fearless and should be be so fortunate as to get elected the rest of this nation would Know that we were represented^ "**" )ptn- »-• k t9*The practice of selling white children to Chinese in San Francisco seems to have become a serious evil. It is stated that twenty-six children so disposed of have been recovered within the last year, and the presumption is that some cases have escaped detection. Of course the parents of such children must be heartless wretches, and they probably are very degraded people. It appears to have only been iound out within a few months, and though ener­ getic means hare been taken to put a step to it, there Is ground for believing that several white children thus un- linmanly sold had previously been smuggled out of the country. J6?*Tbe undiminished powers and great working capabilities ot Judge Isaac G. Wilson have been manifested of late in a way too patent to let go entirely unnoticed. For the past two weeks Judge Wilson has been wading through the cumbersome chancery docket of this county,and so successful has he been in the dispatch of his busi­ ness that the present week is likely to see the end. The docket, freighted as It was with gray-haired cases, needed a vigorous and euergetic onslaught, and Judge Wilson hat made the onslaught fvely proves forking cap- The Kane m _ _____ vigorously md satisfactory work to all concerned for years than that mani­ fested in this mid-summer session and both attorneys and clients are more than pleased.--Elgin Courier. f&*The Belvidere Northwestern has the following to say in relition to the candidacy of Hon. Ohas, E. Fuller for Member ©f Congress frum this District: "There is a strong and growing sen­ timent In this district in favor of Hon. Chas. E. Fuller of this place for Rep­ resentative In Conjre-is. The times and the peculiar political situation, as well as the interests of the Republican party demand an aggressive and untir­ ing worker a? well as an able and in­ trepid fighter and these qualifications a r e p o s s e s s e d b y M r . F u l l e r t o a n u n ­ usual degree. Besides, his brilliant career last winter has given hi-n well nigh a national reputation and he will at once be given prominence in the hall of Congress should he be elected. Let the mantle of Ell<vood fall upon Hon. C. E. Fuller. There in none more worthy in this district; none better fitted by education and professional and legislative experience; none abler to accept the responsibilities of the position or to discharge the duties that it will impose; none whose eloquence it more persuasive and convincing or whose power as the champion of the rights of the people and the Republi­ can party is more invincible; none more eminent as a statesman or whose record as apolitical leader*has been crowned with greater success. Nomi • nate Mr. Fuller and the Republicans will nominate a man who will repre­ sent thoroughly his constituents and at the same time reflect credit Upon the district and the state. Niagara Falls Redeemed. The redemption of Niagara Falls' from the horde of petty extortioners that have for so many years managed things there, became an accomplished fact last Wednesday, when the passage of tli<» Reservation into the possession and control of the State for the benefit and free enjoyment of the public for all time, was signalized by a joyous celebration. The day was ushered in by the firing of one hundred guns over the brink of the Falls amid general re­ joicing. The number of people gatli- e r e d . b e f o r e n o o n w a s e s t i m a t e d a t f i f t y thousand. Exercises were held under the magnificent elms and maples of the park. Erastus Brooks of the Niagara Falls Association, presided, calling on Bishop Coxe to offer prayer, and mak­ ing the opening speech, Letters of regret were read from President Cleveland. Samuel J. Tildeti and the Governor-General of Canada, A mag­ nificent orchestra furnished impressive and beautiful music,and a choruf» of 400 voices sang America. The presenta­ tion address was made by William Dorshelmer, and was one of the most graceful and appropriate speeches of the occasion. Governor Hill regjpottAp^ on behalf of the State, Carter was the orator of^in^day, and Lieu­ tenant Govcpvfftobinson and Attor ney TiTn-r1r. of the Province of Ontario, by invitation, spoke with re­ gard to the disposition of their gov­ ernment toward the proposed Canadian Reservation, expressing themselves as confident of the accomplishment of the plan. The vast audience sang the Doxology, and the firing of a Federal salute closed the morning's exercises. Governor Hill reviewed the military forces present in the afternoon, and in the evening a fine display of fire-works over the Falls closed the observances of the occasion. •ST"A majority of the members of the Republican Congressional Commit­ tee for this (the Fifth ) Congressional District, have signed an official call for the Convention to nominate a successor to the late Reuben Elhvood. to be held at Elg in on the 3d of September . &&r tVMiss Ada Sweet, poetess and pension agent, who drew first blood from the Admlnsitration with a tap of her dainty fist, tells some one that she would tfaintf it improper to marry un- IOM prepared to support a man in the •tyle to which ha is accustomed. A paragrapher on the Buflalo Express, reasonably construing Ada's words to Imply & wish to wed a journalist, the fastidious luxurlonsness of newspaper men having become an adage, suggests to ber that his tastes are simple, and ho would expect to purchase his cigar •ttes.

Washington, Lincoln and Grant will ever live in the hearts of true Ameri­ cans, and to their memory dear. There arc few hemes In this broad land of. ours where the pictures of Washington and Lincoln do not hang on the walls, side by side with those of departed friends. One of the very first ob­ jects the child learns to name and point out, is the picture of Washing­ ton and Liucoln ; and now another will be added to the number. Grant will by virtue of the place he holds in the hearts of bis countrymen, be seen in every room or album. While in New Orleans last winter, and while examining the different art and photograph galleries, 1 came across an exceedingly fine life size bust pho­ tograph or Gen. Grant, the only one taken Wter be had rsturned from his trip around the world, when he "was looking his very best." The price placed upon this picture was several hundred dollars, but not more than it was worth. 1 bought it and imme­ diately placed it in ths hands of en­ gravers, and just one.week before the Generals death 1 received the first copies of the picture. When shown to members of the Grant family it brought tears to their eyes, for they recognized, better than any one else the great change. Anticipating a very heavy sale at low prices, I have decided to mail to any address in the United States, one picture, 22x28 Indies, from the original engraving, for one dol­ lar ($1,00) ; or the same picture taken from a transfer from the original, for fifty cents. (50c.; ; or a cabinet sized photograph, hand finished, for twenty five cents (25c,) Money must in all cases accompany order, and w!ll be re­ funded In case pictures are not satis factory and are returned. Agents wanted, I will give liberal discount to good agents. Any person can sell Grant's picture.

On it he wrote.a query in German to the effect that he wished to know where the swallow would pass the win- tier. The bird returned to its former nest, bearing an exchange label simil­ arly fastened, saying, in German also, "In Florence, at Castellari's house, and I bear many salutations."--Scientific American.

Above we give a perfect Picture of the German Church, at Johnsburgh, as; It will appear when the improvements which sre now going on ar* completed. The Church was built in 1869 with the exception of the Tower and Steeple,; which are now being built. When completed it will be 164 feet high. From ground to roof 64 feet. Then starts the Tower, which Is 27} feet square, built of brick, and runs up 30 feet, and the balance of wood, running to a point 70 feet more. On each side are two small spires, all, as will be seen by the picturej above, making a very handsome appearance. In fact when completed this will be one of tiie handsomest Church edifices iu the Northwest. This work is under the direction of A. Druiding, Architect, Chicago, who Is; one of the Dnest Architects in this part of the country, and from whose drafts the above handsome Cut was made. He understands his business thoroughly.; and the fact that his work is appreciated is evidenced by the constant demand; for his services. The Pastor, Father Mehring, is also entitled to great praise for the; energetic work being done by him, not only in making the improvements! around the Church and Parsonage, but In getting the School in such thorough! working order. About November 1st the School will open, under the Supervise ion of the Sisters of Charity, and will be divided between teaching German; and Englisn, one half of each day being devoted to German and the other half; English, making it one of the most thorough Schools of this kind in the State. We again congratulate our German friends in this evidence of their pros* perity, and the beautiful appearance their Church and surroundings will present when completed.
