The Nation’s Dead.
_
America’s most illustrious son in war
and in peace is no more.’ GENERAL U. S.
GRANT expired peacefully and without
apparent pain on Thursday morning last
at his rural retreat on the top of Mount
McGregor, near Saratoga, surrounded by
his family and loved ones. Although his
long and patient suffering from an incur.
able disease had prepared the public mind
for the sad event, his death has neverthe-
less been deplored throughout the world.
In many respects his career was the
most notable, as well as honorable and
serviceable to his country of any man
since Washington. Hitherto the loyal
nation had honored and revered him.
But when in these later months the nation.
saw how he braved the slow and sure and
cold approach of death, and in the midst
of his sufferings, and the personal con-
sciousness that he was stricken with an
incurable disease, which he pathetically
plead with his physicians to conceal from
his family, that he might the better toil on
his book, in the hope that the poverty
and rrrin he had been able himself so
heroically to face might be measurably
averted from them, then it was that he
rose in popularity and the people of this
Grand Republic he had been enabled to
save began to truly know and to lose him.
GENERAL GRANT will live in the world's
histories as the most illustrious. because
the most successful, soldier in the cause of
liberty and the preservation of the Ameri-
can Union. From an obscure clerk in his
father's primitive store and tannery at
Galena he rose step by step in military
achievement, till from Fort Donelson to
Appomattox he crowned the victories of
the Union arms with a grand and final
triumph.
Other pens will do better justice to his
life and memory than can ours, but some
incidents within our own personal obser-
vation it may be of interest to relate, as
all show the quality and fibre of the man,
and give the key, as we think, to his phe-
nominal rise in the public esteem, and his
equally remarkable military successes.
And if we were called to state the one
qrrality in his character that won these
results we should, without a fear of con-
tradiction, say it was his own inflexible
adherence to what he conceived to be
duty, and the throwing of all his life and
energy into the supremest efforts, if need
the, to accomplish that duty. We vividly
recall hearing Governor “Dick” Yates
narrating to a company of fellow senators
the incidents of hisfirst seeing and inter-
view with GRANT. He said he was over-
whelmed with the labors of recruiting,
equipping and feeding, and selecting suit-
able officers to command the Illinois troops
and getting them dispatched to the front,
when one of his stafi officers reported to
him that there was a resolute looking sort
a fellow in the ante room await-
ing an interview with the governor. I
asked where he was from and what he
wanted. His aide.,replicd that he said
he was from Galena, and had refused all
his pr'ofl‘ers to bear any message to his
cxeellency; that the poor fellow had been
waiting around two days already, and
said he would continue to wait till the
governor had the leisure to let him see
him a moment, and, continued the aide, I
guess he will stay out there “all summer"
unless you admit him. Well, said Yates,
send him in and let us see what he wants.
He was thereupon invited into the execu-
tive office, and he impressed me, said the
governor, as a “queer specimen.” He
was particularly reticent and diffldent,
but he made out to inform me that he had
had some military experience, and he
said he thought he might be helpful in the
existing emergency. I asked him what
he could do. He replied almost anything, -
so as we were behind with our quarter-
master and commissiary papers we set
him to copying and filing away a huge
pile of vouchers. He dispatched the
the work excellently and in an incredibly
short space of time, and all the time was
as silent and mute as if he were a deaf
and dumb man. Finally, said the govern-
or, we had seirt down from Chicago a
regiment of the city “rougbs,” and a hard
lot they were. I had offered the colonelcy
to several good fellows whom I knew, but
every one, after a visit to the camp, de-
clined the proffered commission. This
thing had gone on for some time, and in
my pcrplexity I remarked in this man’s
presence that I believed there was geod
fighting qualities in that regiment, but I
despaired to find any one able to get them
out of the state. Grant heard the remark
and saw my pcrplcxity, and with such
quiet modesty that it aroused my curiosity
and interest in the man still more, he
said, governor, I think I could manage
those men if you would permit me. You
control those fellows, I asked in undis-
grrised distrust. I haven’t a doubt of it,
said Grant, if you will permit me to try.
I then learned for the first time of his
army experience in Mexico, and his being
a graduate of West Point, and then I told
him to go at once to the camp, clothed
with my authority, and if he could get
them into any kind of shape to be dis--
patched to the front I would commission
him colonel. Upon this promise h'e stared
at me with as mucir apparent distrust as I
had at him. But he went down to the
camp and in a few hours was back again,
and informed me the men were in con-
dition and ready to be sent forward. And
a better disciplined regiment of men never
left the state said Yates, I commissioned
Grant as its colonel, as I had promised to
do, when a still more interesting incident
occurred. Holding his commission in his
hand, he said, “Governor, I don’t know
anybody about here, and I haven’t any
money and I shall have to run down to
Galena and get some to help me gcta horse
and outfit.” So he went, and as Judd
(afterwards minister to Germany) told me,
he came to him to see if he would loan
him $300 to purchase his outfit offering to
give his note and leave his commission as
colonel as security. Judd was dumb-
founded on seeing his commission as colo-
uel, as he had never known him before,
except by sight, as an obscure resident of
Galena. He told him to call again next
day and he would see what he could do.
He then instituted anneighborlrood inquiry
about Grant and found him so unknown.
that his distrust was only increased.
Next day, prompt on the minute, Grant
called and Judd pcremptorily declined
the loan. Grant’s disappointment was
pictured on his face and was so distressing
to me, said Judd, that although he didn’t
speak a word, I relented and told him to
call on a tradesman of Galena in the
course of two hours and I would see if
I couldn’t get him to advance the money.
Judd then stepped around, left the $300
with the storekeeper, and enjoined on him
that he should pretend to have made the
loan, and take the note for it in his own
name. With this borrowed $300 Grant
purchased the first new suit of clothes he
nad owned, for. many months, got sash
and Sword and the colonel’s eagle straps
for coat and with the remainder an ‘old
horse, with which be accompanied his
hitherto mutinous command to the‘front.
The details of Grant‘s subsequent career
in the army is known to cveryschool child
in America. The writer was in Washing.
ton at this time, on the rcportorial staff of
the N. Y. Tribune 'and in such relations
with the White House and War Depara.
ment, as gave the newspaper fraternity
special opportunities for gaining a knowl-
edge of army movements. Grant soon
arose to distinction in the western depart-
nient. This seemed to excite the jealousy
of Gen. Ilaliock, after his, transfer to
Washington. The more victorious Grant
was, the more determined Hallock seemed
to be to'displace him but Grant had a firm
friend in the President. Hallock was a
Will. Weak and conceited man, although
a thoroughly educated hook soldier. He
‘ finally so annoyed Mr. Lincoln in his teas-
ing for Grant’s transfer or disposal, that
he sent for Mr. Chas. A. Dana, then assis-
tant Secretary of War, and expressed to
him his desire that he should go out and
see for himself what was the actual con-
dition of things in Grant’s command and
return and report to him the result of his
observations. “Being on the ground your.
self,” said the President to Mr. Dana, “you
can see all sides of the question and come
to an intelligent and just conclusion and I
will hold Hallock at bay ’till you return.”
Mr. Dana went, critically examined the
situation and reported to the President
that for the safety of the Union cause he
could better afford to remove any other
general in the field than Grant. This re-
port, when made known to Grant filled his
heart with gratitude and he and Mr. Dana
were the closest of friends until the point
when he became President and failed to
appoint the latter collector of New York,
after having personally urged him to ac-
cept the place and Mr. Dana had made
known the fact to his friends of his accep-
tancc of the place so urged upon him.
This was one’of many unfortunatezincidents
connected with his position as President,-
where his party overrode his wishes and
litterally forced him to waive his own
earnest desires in what was deemed the
higher interests of his party. In the case
of Mr. Dana, he was not so much annoyed
that Grant failed to appoint him collector,
as he was that he failed to notify him‘of '
his inability to carry out his ownvproffer
or to explain the circumstances cniron-
ing his own as well as Mr. Dana’s disap-
pointment. Despite all this and subse-
quent years :of bitter attacks upon Gen.
Grant in the New York Sun, probably no
article since his death, .has appeared at
once so ably, candidly, even kindly and
truthfully written as Mr. Dana’s tribute to
his once ardent friend now dead, in the
columns of the Sun last Friday.
It was a critical period in Grant’s career
when summoned to Washington to become
commander-in .chief of the army and
navy. The jealousies and rivalries of old
commanders in the army of the Potomac
and the old Wowearing stars and eagles
on their shoulders about the war depart-
ment, were hotly revived. Yet it soon
became known that President Lincoln and
Secretary Stanton were resolutely behind
him and resolved to sustain him, and this
fact did much to conceal the lack of cordi-
ality with which his assumption of active
command of the army of the Potomac
had given rise. ,
[To be concluded next week.]
A Daily Paper.
The usual bi-wcekly rumor that a daily
paper is to be started in town is on its
travels again. And as usual South Nor-
walk is to be the location of its birth.
The rumor is the same as ever with the
exception that we are assured it really
will start this time.
It seems—according to this rumor—-
that a number “men of influence” living
in South Nor-walk will back the enterprise
because “the existing city papers are so
“fearful of sayinganything condemnatory
“of the loose way birsiness is conducted
‘by the city fathers,” a fact which has
“caused a deep feeling in the minds of the
“tax payers.” The new daily is to remedy
all this. It is to be independent of every-
thing and everybody but its hackers, and
will not hesitate to denounce the city
ofi‘lciais in scathing terms. Itlwill show
will neither cringe to fear or favor.
We shall welcome this always-coming
prodigy to the local journalistic field.
and wheu,'this new one comes, even though
it may transfer the “deep feeling in the
minds of the tax payers” to a deep feeling
in the pockets of its stockholders, we shall
be pleased to see it.-

Norwalk’s Mourning.
Immediately on the receipt of the news
of Grant’s death in Norwalk bulletins were
put out, pictures of the old warrior were
conspicuouslydisplaycd in show windows,
the work of decorating buildings with
mourning was begun, and bells were
tolled. Among the decorations in the
business part of the borough are those

Grant.
Telegrams of sympathy have been sent
from over the entire inhabitable globe to-
the stricken Grant family. I The Prince of
Wales and Emperor 'of Japan, with hun-
dreds of other notables send personal mes-
sages of condolence. The press of the
civilized world are full of the kindiiest ex.
pressions of appreciation of the renowned
General‘s character and public services.
His family have about decided to allow
him to be sepulchred in Central Park,
New York, on the 8th -of August. This
place of final rest will fail to meet the
wishes of the great majority of the Amer-
ican people, who naturally feel that the
nation’s dead should be buried at or near
the nation’s capital.
Gen. Grant left no will, but his instruc-
tions as {6‘ the disposition of all his little
effects were written .from time to time
'within the past few weeks and given Col.
Grant. Gen. Grant left no property what-
ever. The interest in his book belongs to
his wife, the contract with the publishers
being signed ‘by her.

Over River School Routine.
A special meeting of the voters of the
‘Over River School District is called for
' next Wednesday evening to consider the
matter of laying a tax upon the district.
Tire last meeting was adjourned for want
of attendance. It would seem that the
people of the district had been paying
interest upon interest long enough, and it
is to be hoped the coming meeting will lay
a tax sufficient to wipe out a large part, if
not all, of the indebtedness.

Random Ramblings.
BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM RAMBIJIR.
I saw a horse car driver on One of those
terribly hot days last week take a sponge
and wash the head, ears and faces of his
poor horses with cold water. This merci-
ful act was so gratefully and clearly enjoyed
and expressed by the heated, suffering
beast, that it touched my old heart and I
instinctively made my reverent bow to
that humane car driver.
It * i
Why will otherwise nice living people
cast their clam shells and other kitchen
and garden refuse, and rake weeds, and
cobbles out in the public roadways of the
village ? >
t I' #
Isn’t it strange that the roadways to our
two most delightful and quiet seaside re-
sorts—Gregory’s Point and Bell Island—
slrould be so narrow that two carriages
cannot pass without danger of collision?
If the land at these points was very valu-
able it would be more excusable. Please
Mr. Roadmastcr, Selectmem, or whoever
has the authority, do give us a few inches
wider roadway. .

I recently urged the erection of a new
Town House on the vacant lot opposite
the LeGrand Lockwood place. The old
and discreditable edifice could no doubt
be sold for a round sum, and the town
could borrow all they needed to make up
any deficiency at 3 per ceutI interest, so
that no burden would be put upon our
already overtaxed present generation.
South Norwalk' especially ought to move
in this matter. The convenience and credit
of our pretty town are at stake.
o l. o .
I am glad to see the names of our old
and honored Norwalk families kept in
remembrance, and no way seems so easy
and appropriate as naming streets and
avenues after them. Iam quite willing to
see plain “Bouton Lane,” where, as a
girl, I used to stroll with Miss Harriet
Bouton, the Misses Quintard, Miss Eliza
Taylor and other girls of the long ago,
and many of whom have gone to the better
land—changed to Taylor street. General
Taylor has honored his venerable, honest
and upright father’s memory, who so long
ago lived on the lane on Fox bill. He
was a general in the army and on the
right side; was an honored member of
congress, and has proved himself an hon-
orable, useful, and public spirited son of
Norwalk, and a street named for him and
his family name is but a just tribute to his
worth. I would like to see the name of
Orchard street changed toAdams street,
for who has done so much to improve
that street and help the the town’s growth
as the late Girardus P. Adams. I cannot
see quite as much good sense and justice
in naming the new street through the
“Uncle Tommy Benedict” property after
town and in no sense is a public bene-
factor. But that was an individual enter-
prise and its promotors have a right to
name it what they please, and “every man
to his tastes,” as the old proverb says.

:1 saw the venerable “Uncle ’Bija
Resscquie," accompanied by his daughter
Anna, one evening last week, tripping
into the house of Mr. William K. Lewis
as spryly as a man of forty, and yet he
must now be fully ninety-five years of age.
How my mouth waters as I recall my
rides to Ridgefield in Uncle Jared Nash’s
market wagon in the days iang sync, and
the hot and appetizing suppers served by
“Aunty Phillis” at the Ressiquie tavern.
Well. may the good man’s life, and his
good health, and his good hotel continue
for another century.

Tire discreditable condition of our old
time public “green,” in front of the
churches, offends every eye. Is it pos-
sible that we have not enough of public
spirit or private liberaliiy in Norwalk to,‘
at least mow down the offensive weeds so
rankly growing there ? '
o * o-
The uneven “hummocks” and ruts on
West avenue. especially from the borough
line down through the city, are enough to
shake all the bones in a poor old lady’s
anatomy out of place. Some portions of
this most used West avenue, within the
city limits, would disgrace a Hottentot
village.

A Narrow Escape.
During the thunder storm last Tuesday
afternoon there was one sharp clap of
thunder preceded by a flash of lightning
‘which lit up the northern portions of the
town and induced the remark: “that
struck pretty close." .As it turned out it
did stgikc pretty close—altogether too close
for the pleasure of two of Norwaikgs
citizens. Mr. G. Andrew White is the
foreman of the GAZETTE job omce. He
and his wife live on Spring Hill. {While
sitting in their dining room on the even-
ing in question Mr. White was surprised
to see his wife fall out of her chair and lie
insensible upon the floor. Immediately,
and before he could move, he was in a
similar condition. How long- the couple
were unconscious they. do not know but
when they recovered their senses, the sul-
phur was pretty thick and a ringing sen-
sation in their heads made them conscious
that a bolt of lightning had struck in their
immediate vicinity. Investigations
proved such to be the fact. The light-
ning had passed directly Over their house
and struck a small tree in an adjacent yard.
Thence the electric fluid entered the
ground, tearing it in every conceivable
shape. At one place in particulara hole
several yards in diameter and four feet
deep was in the ground and of the crop of
potatoes with which the yard was planted
hardly a stalk remained. It isvery prob-
able that Mr. and Mrs. Wiritc will hereafter
explore the darkest closets, take to the
cellar or sit on a feather bed during the
prevalence of thunder storms.

Hrs. Lockwood’s Mother.
Tire mother of Mrs. Dorinda Lockwood,
to whose memory a fitting tribute was
rendered in the last number of the GAZETTE,
was Mrs. Collins, a lady of foreign birth,
of a good family, and of education and
culture. Some seventy years ago she
lived and taught school for small children
in what was known as the “Thomas Bel-
den house,” which was spared in the in-
cendiary destruction Of Norwalk by
Governor Tryon, because the owner was a
f‘friend of King George.” It was bought
and pulleddown by Clark Bissell, after-
wards governor, who erected upon its
site- the house now owned by his eldest
son, who at the date mentioned above
was one of»Mrs. ,COIlins’ pupils, as were
also Miss Julia Lockwood, Mrs. John A.
McLean, and as others may have been
who survive. Mrs. Collins had also a
daughter Henrietta and a son Samuel. A
part of the“'l‘homas Belden house” was
moved by Judge Bissell to the south.
western corner of his lot, and occupied
by him for his life-time as his law office.
After his death it was sold by his semin-
law, Senator Ferry, and moved off to a lot
near the home of the late Captain Henry
W. Smith. So much for reminiscences of
“the olden time." "' * “

A New Idea.
Friday evening two young colored men
were sitting on the hotel steps, talking—
presumably—about the . weather. Two
colored women evidently in the best of
spirits, passed. Shortly after, Chief Lock-
wood who was patrolling Main Street,
hearda voice behind him saying—“Mr.
Lockwood, Mr. Lockwood, will yo’ do me
afavah, sub 1’" Turning, the chief saw
the colored women. ' “Certainly,” said he
“ Well, sah,"
replied one ofthe darkies, “I’d like to bob
you remobe dat drapery from dc hotel

the street, saw the colored men sitting on
(the steps, and—tumbled.

The Army Captured.
IOn Wednesday evening the salvation
army started out on their usual parade
from their “barracks" to the square near
the post office in South Norwalk. They
sang and shouted and flappcd their wings
and hippity-hoppcd in their exuberance of
convulsive piety. Arriving at the post
ofllce they knelt down in the middle of
the road—dust to dust—and held a “knee
dril " after their usual custom, surrounded
by a crowd Of on-lookers, some of whom
gave respectful attention, while others,
old enough and intelligent enough to know
better, made themselves a nuisance bigger
than the army by their irreverent,insulting
and silly interruption with outbursts of
rowdy “smartness," After squirming
around in the sand for half an *hour the
army took up the countermarch to the
barracks. The matted-haired captain and
his glory hallelujalr wife Were at the head
of the line walking backward and acting
aszdrurn majors. South Norwalk’s police
force mingled with the crowd of spectators
that followed the hallelunatics, and seemed
waiting for something to turn up. The
side walk fOllowers, too, were full of
eager expectancy. The drum majors gave
the signal to sing, and “I am the Child of
a King I am," was belched forth with ex-
plosive abruptness, and crucified in all
'the discords within the capacity of the
gamut. The cops looked 'nervous and
clutched their clubs desperately, but
made no onslaught. Aftersinging a few
bars, and; “the child of a king I am" had
swelled to a distressing howl in the wind-
pipes of the tramping singers, who were
as much out of tune as they were out of
step, a signal was given and with a slam-
bang half a dozen she soldiers thumped
their tambourines vigorously, and the big
bass drum boomed with a mighty boom.
This was what the sturdy cops were
waiting for, and in a jifly the blue coats
were among the sanctified ranks filling
their pockets with captive warriors, and
completely demoralizing the “child of a
king.” Tire worldly followers jeered and
scoffed in due orthbdox hoodlum style as
the captured saints were taken to the
fertilizer depository underground called
the “lockup." Some of the raders, evi-
dently not being thoroughly imbued with
the divine spirit that hankers to be perse-
cuted for righteousness' sake, took to
their heels, and hither and yen in all di-
rections might be seen a child of a king
streaking it like a scared" cat for liberty
and a place to pray. Eight of them were
captured, however, and celebrated their
incarceration by instituting a rousing ses-
sion of “divine services” in their sweet
scented dungeon. Tire victims were Capt.
Bland and wife, John Lycet, Edward
Toby. Rowland Lees, Mary Doyle, Ada
Smallhorn and Ella Rothenburgh. They
kept up their hallclujah racket in the lock-
up until about 11 o’clock, while the crowd
outside acted like a gang of Bowery
roughs and furnished a scene, says the
Sentinel, that was “a disgrace to our
boasted civilization, and a most emphatic
demonstratior; of the necessity of home
missionary wor .”
About 11 o'clock Captain Reiney, of
Bridgeport, the hallelujah commissioner
for Connecticut, arrived and the prisoners
were brought before Justice Ely, when
all pleaded not guilty and were put under
$50.00 bonds to appear to-day for trial,
Jerry Donovan, C. H. Harvey and Charles
T. Lycet giving bonds. During the pro-
gress of the proceedings in the court
room, the prisoners varied the monotony
of the exercises by shouting: “Glory 2”
“Hallelujah!” “Praise God I” etc.
This was the first time the army had
paraded to “music” since the city ordin-
anee was passed prohibiting it some
weeks before. The warriors propose to
carry their case to the supreme _ceurt, if
necessary, and they have a' large number
of sympathizers who think the city law is
unconstitutional, and will be so pro-
nounced by the higher courts.
Their prosecution was a good adver-
tisement, the streets, square and barracks
being densely crowded the next night,
when the soldiers paraded—witlrout
“music.” -

Norwalk Abroad.
Tire following, taken from Galignani’a
Messenger, of Paris, France, refers to a
former resident of Norwalk, son of one of
our old citizens, Deacon Baird :—
We have received the financial state-
ment of the missionary and benevolent
work during ten ears, of the American
cirurch. Rue de erry, of which the Rev.
A. F. Baird, D. D., is pastor. It is a most
striking record of spiritual activity in
mission and lulanthropic labors, honor-
able to its abI)e and devoted pastor, and to
the generosity of its friends in America
and to its congregation. We doubt if
there is a church in France which can
show a more active and generous support
of missionaries and charitable work. For
.thc year 1884, ending 1st of May, this
little church has given thirty thousand
francs to variousmissions and charities.
For the year ending May lst, 1885, it has
distributed nearly seventy thousand francs,
showing, notwithstandrng the business
depressron, a very large increase, more
than double, of contributions to evangeli-
cal missions and charities. In examining
the detailed account of the appropriations
we have been struck by the breadth and
generous spirit of its contributions. The
have not been for the support of denomr:
national interests, looking only to its own
narrow circle of influence. They have
been given to a variety of excellent missions
and charities, among which are the S.
School Union of France,'the Young Men’s
Christian association, the Societe Evan-
geliquc of France, the Wesleyan Missions
in France, the Industrial schools, the Mis-
sions at LaVillette, at Marseilles, in Savoy,
to Miss dc Brcen’s Mission, and lar ely to
the Mission organized and directed Dr.
McAll, one of whose missions—the each
Mission—is entirely supported by this
American church. It is indeed anoble
record of devoted labor and abounding
iibcraiity. .

In Memoriam.
Tire foilowingrefcrs to a minister known‘
to many in Norwaik, and a brother to
Jeweler LeGrand Jackson. It is taken
from the “St. Paul’s Parish Record,” of
Washington, D. C. :—
It is our mournful duty to announce
the death of the Rev. Augustus Jackson,
the first rector of the parish, who died in
Philadelphia Tuesday, June 0th. His
failing health for several years past obliged
him to give up all active clerical work,
and his friends had fondly ho ed that rest
and change of scene and eimate might
renew his strength; but this was not to
be. .
“Mr. Jackson, having for some time, as
missionary of the Convocation of Wash-
ington, conducted services in a hall, issued
a call for a meeting to be held on Sunday,
October 28th, 1866, for the purpose of
or anizing a parish. This meeting re-
su ted in the formation of St.Paul’s parish,
and the vestry. Mr. Jackson was chosen
rector, and his rectorship lasted until
October 17th, 1880, thus completing his
fourteenth year as missionary and rector
of St. Paul’s, when his declining health
necessitated his resignation. Leading a
quiet," unostentatious life, he impressed
upon the parish a deep respect for his
learning and purity of life; and his scr.
mons~showed the results of a studious
habit, and of marked literary ability.
Meeting with rare success, though often-
times discouraged, bravely and surely he
did his Master’s work, and has left us the
memo of a . riest of God, who ever
works for the aster’s cause, though his
frail body stayed his hands.
Earnestly devoted to the, best, interests
of the parish, he gathered many into the
fold of the church, and parents and chil-
dren still revere his memory. Our warm-
est sympathies go out to the home and
circle, where he was best known and
loved, with the earnest ‘pra er that “He
who is the Father of the atherless, and
who is the widow’s God,” may be their
stay and comfort. . .
