Grant. Ne g York was among the very first t0 “sup in ite olaims, while Washingtor, Springticld and Galena In Illinois, 8t Louis and other places at once foflowed. This matter bus Yeen under dlecussion at various ¥imes durlng the last few woeks, No'w that the general is dead his family has declded In favor of New York, srd he will probably be burled in Central park. When it became evident to the general that his days wers bul few, he talked about his burlal place, and on June 24th he wrote the following on a alip of paper, and handed it to hia son, Col. Fred, Grant: Z There are three places from whi choice of butial place to be made: West Point—I would prefer this above others but for the fact that my wife could not be placed beside n.e. % Galena, or some place In Tilinois—Because from that state I received my first general's commission, % New York—Recaute the people of that city befriended me in my need, £ This slip was handed back to the gen- oral by his son who eald that he didn’t like it, as there was no need of talking of such things. The general thereupon tore the paper Into fragments and threw the pleces into the waste basket. Never- theless he had made hls wishes known, snd tho selection of New York is in a measure in accordance with his wish, The New Yorkers place great etress upon the expression of Gen, Grant: ‘‘Because the poople of that ety befriended me in my need,” bat many of his friends reply that it was In that clty that he met his greatest misfortunes. However, Central park Is regarded by many as a very ap- proprlate burlal place for Amerlca’s groat- est general, ItisinAmerlca's metropolls, and {s one of the most beautifal spots in the world, The meaguifiseat monument that will be reared over hiy grave will thors be an attractlon to milllons of peo- ple, n t only of our own couatry, but to those from foreiga lands when they vizit America, Bat it would seem that the most ep propriate resting placo for Genersl Grant would have been elther at Spring- field ar Galena in Ililnois, becauee, as Grant himself wrote, it was from that stato thut he received hls first general's commission. At Springfield he would have rested by the slde of Abraham Lincoln, who gave him his commleslon. In the langusge of the Londen News, “‘Grant’s name wlll ever bs assoclated with the great and righteous struggle of which Lincoln was the brain and heart M I wish a and Grant the arm and wespon.” At Springfield with Lincoln and Grant lylng side by side, we would have the brain and Ir there is to be any grading this year, | heart and the arm and weapon by whose Harnoy street certainly ought to be|united action tho natlon was saved from graded.

Ex-Goveryor Funyas has bzen ap- polnted one of the execntive commission- era of the United States of tho American exhibltion to be held In London next May. His experlonco as Nebraska com miesloncr at the New Orleans world’s ex- positlon will prove of great nervico to him. In that capacily ko showed great abllity and demonstrated that he ls ad- mirably adapted for such work, WhEN the county commtesloners make a contract they shoald hold the parties to thelr contracts. We are {old that the stone steps for the grand sialr-case lead- ing up to the court houss will not bo re- celved hore for three woeks, when aceord- ing to the terms of the contrrct they should have been on the ground now. Such delay 1s needless &nd lnexcus- able, — Tue district attorney on Saturdsy molled a batch of {udistmeats, among which were eeveral for selling liquor without license and otherwlzo violating the llquorlaw. The question is what is 1o be done aboat this class of free tradors In whitky and beer horeafter? Aro they to be permitied to defy the lsws and openly eell liquor withcut a license whila their competitors in the city and coanty are each paylng a thousand dollars & yoar! — rel wreath of vletory Illinols pretented him sz a candidato for the presidency, and the people cf that state have always regsrdedhim asmuchean Illinolsan as they did Abraham Lincoln. 1t strikes ns that had his family selected Springfield or Galena, hils old home, for his burial place, It would have been mora in accord with the general sentiment of the people of the country. Good objecilons are urged against his belng buried in Cen- tral park, one of which Is that no pleas- are resort ought to be made a burlal placs for any one, although it would be an appropriste epst for a monaument. If buried In New York it is urged by many that his geave should be in some ceme- tery, whilo a atatue should be erected in Central park to commemorate his se:- vices, THEY MUST GO.

The proclamstion of the president — {mmediately followlng the report of Gen.

The lands now occupied by several hundred thousand cattle should be held for Indians that are likely to be moved from distant and ecattered reser- vatlons to the territory In the near future, If, however, it should be shown that the Indlans have no tltle to Oklahoma, and it should be opened for settlement it should be for homostead purposes alone and not allowed to be used as grazing grounds, as 1t Is speclally adapted for agriculture. Thousands of homestead- ers aro only too anxious to eecare locations there, The action of the adminlstration so far is certalnly to bo commended, as it Is evidence of an Inten- tion to put an effective end to land.grab- ing of all kinds, — WaILE there is no boom InOmahs this ason, there Is a steady and substantia owth, and buslness Is good for the d ul season of eummer. Owing to the lack of money the public improvements this year are limited, which will sult the con- seryatives and moes-backs, but it Is not at all in keeping with the progretsive splrlt of nlneteen.twentloths of the clti- zens of Omaha, It fs o mistake to put any obstructlon in the way of substantial spublic improvements. They have made Omaha what it is to-day, a first-claes olty. and they should keep paco with ita growth, which from now on wlill be very rapid. In the way of private enterprisee, however, sach as stores snd dwellings, Omaha e goipg ahead eatisfactorlly, The acquibstition of a large number ef new business firms 1{s aleo evidenco of Omaha’s prosperily at the present timo, Accordlng to ihe reports of of the mercantile agencles 120 new business houses were estab- lished in Omsha in one month from March 20th to April 20th, and & large number have since looated here. Among tho new houses is a wholesale notlon es- tablishment from an Iowa city rated at Omaha for such firme, and there is no better city in the country for business locatlons than the commercial metropolis of Nebraska., It commands a vast extent of territory, while the atato itself is one of tho richest agricultural sections cf the country. Every town In the atate is growing rapldly, while tho state liself has rearly doubled In proportion In tho last five years, having Increascd from 452,000 to over 700,000, The trade In Nebraska alone ls sufficlent to support a very large number of wholesale houses in Omaha and now is the time for castern men secking a new locatlon and investment of capltal to get a footholdin this city,which will have mora than a hundred thousand people when the next censusfs taken In 1890, Aliogether the outlook for Omaha is cf the mont favorable character, S—— YestERDAY was the nineteenth anni- vorsary of the completion of the first Atl:ntic cable.

H., on Saturday last, at Nashua: Tke olephant was taken tos wooded ra- vine near the suburby of Keene, and chalued to four immense trees and other. wise fastened, under direction of Mr, Aratingstall, the well-known trainer. The lceation of the heart and braln was then marked out with chalk, Thirty-thres mombers of the Keene Light Guards were marshaled into line at fiftesn paces distant, each man armed with a Spring- field rifla, At tho command to fire the same number of bullets penetrated the vital spots. Tho hoge beast fell with n dull thud, without a atrugele. This was tho elgnal for 2,000 epectators in attend- ance to rend tho air with shouts and cheers. The soldlers were conducted by Mr. Hutchineon, the sole representative of the show proprietors present, to the great; lifeloss mass of flesh to inspect the recult of thelr first elephant hunt on Amerlean sofl. Durlng the time Albert wos being man- acled be reemed to exhlblt almost human conselousness of what wes golng on and cried plteously one minute, while he would make herculesn efforts to free himself the next; but his appeals had no effact upon the crowd who knew that his freedom of exiatence meant mere human deaths, The eloptant was one of the larget owned by the show, and at the tima of his death was worth at least $10,- €00. Prlor to three months ago he was used in the performing herd of elephants, bat a viclous dlsposition manifesting Iteelf, it was thought wise to withdraw him from the performance. Since that timo he had been tractable until last Saturday, when wlithout notice, he savagely aseanlted the man who had been his keeper for two years past.

P. depot, Sunday moralng,; by one Frank Willl- ams, but it didn't pan ou: as Mr. Willisms had expected. To begin with he represented himsslf as being a deputy U. S. marshal, arrested the two intended victims, aad started up town as though he was geing to take them to jail. Sure enough, this frightened the jays so much that when passing by a ealoon, where Williams propozed to releaso them if they would sct up the beer, they (uloily consented snd got the heer. Thoy were leaving ths ealoon, Williams followed, and said he would have to arrest thom again; that he counldn’c afford to let thom off that easy, but, If they wonld give him 2 apiece that would settle 1t. The boys, however, were sharp enough to under- stand that this was not right and they refused to give up the money. lnstead, they got poltceman and bad the s20un. drel arrested, He was taken to the clty _i:_x-lh and given querters there for ths uight, —m— Swmcko Seal of North Car lna To- bazco, S Prof Kummerow’s Boncit, Suadey night the evens i Germanla ball wae the concert a: von by the Tarner rocioty as a benefit £ tho tegch - cr, Prof. Kuammerow, Tho hall was well filled overything passed off and ov erfoot sucsces belrg soored, of morrlaont was smoothly, a The programme opaned by a concezt given by tho Muat- cal Union orcheatra, All the numbers were h ths uensl grace and dell- oacy, whick characterizs the work of this g n, Thls pazt of the exerclses was greatly enjoyed, Alter this oame some very fino turn- ing by the clacs which took ths prizas as the Atchison turnfest, The exhibitlon was faoltless and called for:h lond applause, This part of the programmo was fol- organiz | lowed by slnging by the Turner Glee Club, and sevey,) vocal gongs and raci- tatlons, after which the floot was clearvd the corner, which upsot the lady's vehicle At the opera house shinnin’ aronnd the country with mil. lovairce. 1f angbody wants fan he shonld travel with Tom Towles, but he wants to go well heeled, I oan tell yoa. ““Where Is the pass system?” sugrested Mr. Willls, I know all about the pass systom,’ mld the general, ‘‘and I'll show you how it works, One summer Tom Towles gct up & little excursion to the Yellowstone coantry and kindly included me in the list of invited guests, 1 wae young anc galleless, and it was an ensy matter for him to work on my Innocent, unsuspoct- Ing nature by assuring me that {t wouldn't cost a cent.

There was §5 for this and $10 for that, For instance: Away out west one day we were whirllng along the desolate, dreary pralries when the conductor of the sloeping car sat down near me and I—all unsuspectingly—asked bim how far it was to the next etation. Well, Tom Towles beard me, and in ten minutes he had made up a pony purse for the wearied conductor. That cost me §2. Asfor the porter, we throw him dollar every time ho pasted through the car, and he came through so often that I loarned afterward that he rethed after that trlp and started a natlonal bavk at Omaha. Then again, wo hired a hack at Helena and rode over the town. ‘Five dollars,” eald the jehu, an wo aiighted. ‘Why, my man, #ald Tom, ‘that’a not enough for a good driver like you.” And then and therews made up another pony purse that cost mo §5.

These were botter sulted to the roughness and sinuoslty of the roads than the coach. The chalee was a kind of two-wheeled glg, having a top, snd drawn sometimes by two horses; the chair had two wheele, but no top; the tulky, which was much used, difisred from the chair chicfly in haviog room for but one peraon. All these seem to have been hung on straps _or thoroughbraces Instead of eprings. Boston ladies in the middie of the cighteenth contury took the air In chaises or chalr, with negro drivers. Boston gentlemen also affected negro attendants when they drove their chairs or rode on saddle horses. But in rarel reglons, from Pennsylvania north- ward, ladies took dclight in driving about alone in open chalrs, to the smszawent of Earopcin travelers, who deemed that a paradise fn which women could teavel without protection.
