Franz Liszt, the Hungarian pianist and com- pos whose death is announced, was born at showed so extraordinary an aptitude for music when six years old that his father carefully in- structed him on the piano. Inhis ninth year he several wealthy Hungarians volunteered to con- tribute to his education for six years.

From 1838 to 1847 his career was a series of triumphs. After that he assumed the part of conductor of the court concerts and opera at Weimar, which becaie the chief musical center of Europe. He helped to introduce to notice Richard Wa:- her and several ‘other rtsing composers of Germany, and produced there most of his im- portant musical compositions. In 1861 he went to Rome and becaine a great favorite with the | Pope. In 1865 he took ecclesiastical orders, nce that time he has been known as the Abbe Liszt. and devoted himself principally to the composition of church music. He has been one of the most prolific composers of this gener- ation. His works number several hundred, and belong to almost every department of the art. His seventieth birthday was celebrated at Bos- ton by the musicians of that city, on which oc- casion Mr. Longfellow lent an oil portrait of the composer to adorn the dining room. A con- gratulatory dispateh was sent to Liszt on that occasion by the musicians present, to which the Veteran poet added his s ‘The Whippoorwi From Gentry’s “"Nexts and Fines of Birds of the United These birds neverarrive in old, familiar haunts until the weather has assumed the mild, placid demeanor of spring and everything points tothe complete yanquishment of the winter god and his merciless hordes of invaders.

In 1834 Willlam Lloyd Garri- son, backed by Wendell Phillips, the silver-ton- gueil orator of Boston, assaulted American slavery as inieague with the lower regions. They de nounced’ it, fn season and out of season, by voice and pen. Littie by little they were backed by Horace Greeley—the reat and good Horace— Henry Ward Beecher, Harrict Beecher Stowe, with her Uncle Tom's Gabin—a matchless work of fi tlon—Charles Sumner, Who was stricken down fa the U.S. Senate by ‘Bully’ Brooks, of South Carolina, and seions of Ike-minded compatriots.

In 101 the republicans elected to the presidency Abraham Lincoln—the linmortal Lin- coln. ‘This was the signal for a grand onsliuzht by the slave oligarchy on the principles of liberty and progress. In 1861, after years of agitation for and against American slavery, the cannons were heard booming around Sumter, and our national existence was in peril.

In 1861 there lived in Galena, ininy own native state of Tilinols, a quiet, modést man. He had graduated at West Point; Ne had seen service mM California and Oregon;/he had tasted poverty and distress in St. Louts ‘and Galena. When President Lincoln called for 7 : to suppress the inciplent rebellion Capt. Grant de- termined to offer his services to the government, and went to Springfield and interviewed Gov. Yates. After some delay he was given o position and Maly “was sent into the fleld as a colonel. Little by little he arose, till he became general of the national arms. From @a- lena, through the war to the White House, was but a step.” From the White House, around the globe, the cipient of the greatest ovations ever given’to mortal man was but another. Such pros- rity would have crazed most_men, but it did not rant. The great silent man’s heid is Just as level to-day as when he sold cowhides in the streets of Galena. ‘The military genlus of Grant is not surpassed by that of Julius Caesar or the great Napoleon.

When the war came he was president of a small college In Oblo, and promptly offered his services to the Kov- ernment In suppressing the rebellion. After nearly three years service he was made a major- general. He was then elected to Congress and has held the position ever since. His long services on ne of the most important committees show that he is a square man, and can be implicitly trusted.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING. The National Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, now in session at the National hotel in this city, 1s composed of members, both male and female, of state granges, nearly all the states and some of the territories being repre- sented. These delegates are intelligent, substan- es and respectable citizens, nearly all practical agriculturists, who have for their object the butld- ing up and elevation of agriculture, which they hold to be the most im, ing it iv ge a_ higher plane among the industries fostered by national I-gistation and protection than it has heretofore occupied. AT THR SESSION LAST NIGHT; which was an open one, reports of standing com- mittees were received and discussed.

DECLARATION IN FAVOR OF INDEPENDENT POLITICAL ACTION. ‘The same committee, to which had been referred certain papers under consideration, submitted the following: “Recognizing, as we do, the origin of artifictal hardship placed on agriculture in the In- difference of farmers to tacir civil duties, which cannot be deputed to others without certain harm, and recognizing also corrupt party usgves as the outgrowth of such neglect, we, 2s the Fepre - tives of that calling which enlists the gre number of laborers, do solemnly declare oursel absolved from all alle; y does not invite support. by pose and purity of method, and we declare our un- ulterable purpose to mantfest our tndepen‘ence by x our votes to all candidates, cLitming them. hen such candidates do not exhibit fitness in known Integrity and capability for the ree of duttes designated, and rull sympathy with the prin- ciptes herein anunclated.
