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 the occasion
of tho vnvcillng of tho Grant monu
ment presented to Galena by H. IL
Kohlsaat, tho well-known business man
of Chicago. It is doubtful if the city
ever before hold so large a crowd,
strnnta were fairlv nacked with
The
men,
vnmon and children in holiday carb,
each bent upon adding his quota to tho
crcat sons of honor that goes rortn to
tho dead hero of Appomattox. Tho ,
generosity of a Galena boy, now grown ,
to be a Chicago man, nas rcarca in iuo
former homo of Gen. Grant a noblo
monument which is destined to mark
forever tho love, esteem and ven
eration In which Illinois holds tho
memory of her greatest citizen -soldier.
Distinguished citizens were gatnerea
from all points of tho Union to celcbrato
the unveiling of the monument as it de
serves. Mr. Kohlsaat's gift is a credit
alike to the city of his birth, the city ot
his adoption, and to himsolf.
The die on the base of the statue had
been completed in tho last few days by
having cut thereon the names of twclvo
battles in which Grant was engaged, as
follows: Palo Alto, Monterey, Molino
del Bey, Chapultepcc, lle!mont, Fort
Donclson, Shilob, Vicksburg, Chatta
nooga, Spottsylvania, Petersburg, and
Appomattox.
Hard by the insecure old house that
gave shelter to tho old commander tho
statue stands a noblo bronze cast in
heroic dimensions and mounted on a
pedestal of carved and glistening red
granite. Three tiers of gray granite
form its baso. It Is in Grant Park a
six-acre plot of ground high abovo tho
river, purchased and given to the city
through tho Instrumentality of two
Chicagoans, H. IL Kohlsaat and James
W. Scott, both of whom are proud of
having come out of Galena. Already
the park Is graced by a soldiers' monu
ment aiyl a fountain.
Sculptor Gclert did his work faithful
ly and artistically. He has given to Ga
lena a marvelous lifo-liko statue of tho
General in civilian attire and in an atti
tude of meditation. "Grant, our Citizen,"
is the simple inscription on the front sur
face of tho monument. Tho total cost
of the statue is about $25,000.
Tho exercises were begun by prayer by
tho Rev. II. W. Atchison, after which

words:

A mighty mind which God had kept for the hour

into a resistless force and organized Tictory,
He divined tbe purposes ot the enemy as wall a
he knew his own plans. His brain became
clearer, his strategy more rorfect and his confi

forces with exquisite skill and rare originality

His plans did not contemplate defeat. The
movement he always made was "advance." The
order he always gave was "forward. When
Buell told him that the transports at Pittsburg
.Landing would not carry away one-third ot bis
force Grant said: "If that becomes necessary
they wOl hold all there are left." His Vicks

tha military schools and the unanimous opin
'ions of his council 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 :
"Unless wo capture Vicksburg the North will
cut off our supplies." And the sorely bareaved
and disheartened people were transported with
joy and hops by the fourth of July message:
"Vicksburg has" surrendtred." Tho Western

Grant. We aro not yet far enougn rrom ine
passions ot tbe civil sirite to ao iuii justice u
tho genius ot the general who commanded tbe
rebel army. England's greatest living general.
Lord Wolseley, who served with him, assigns
him a foremost place among tho coinniandorH of
modern timee. He possessed beyond most lead
ers the loval and enthusiastic devotion of bis
peoplo, and he was tho idol of his artfly. In es
timating the results and awarding the credit of
the last campaign of the war, we must remem
ber that Gen. Jjee had defeated or tattled every
mnmniiit for three wars, and that, after a con-
I st unirallcled in desperate valor. g"iui
atear?A ftwi iiinTriiiCKH kitaihuvi uu buiicuuucu
his sword to Grant.
Tho most signal services rendered by Grout to
his country were at Api otnattox, and in his
contest with Prcsidelit Johnson. Tho passions
arctiscd by tho civil natnere most inflamed
when tho Confederacy collapsed. Grief dud
vengeance ore Dad counselors. Ono serene in
tellect was possessed of an intuition which was
second to prophecy and wob clothed wilh pow
er. He saw through the vindictive suggestions
of the hour that tbe seceded States must be ad
mitted to" tho Union and their people ve3ted
with all the rights of American cltizomhip and
all the privileges of . Htato government, or tbo
war hid been foctfhl in vain. He sternly r;
pressed tho expressions of joy by his troops as
tbo vanquished enemy marched by, with his
famous order, "The war is over, tho rebels are
our countrymen again and the best sign of re
joiciug after the victory will be to abstain from
all demonstrations in tbe field." He gave to the
Confederates their hoi sea and belongings and
told them to go home, Cultivate their farms and
repair the ravages of war. Ho assured all, from
lee to the private soldier, that they would be
eafoand unmolested so long as they observed
their paroles.
To enter Bichmond. the capital of the Con
federacy, whose spires bad been in sight of tbe
bssiegers ao long, would have been a resistless
temptation for a weaker man. But his mind
was not on spectacular display or triumphal
marches over humiliated foes. It was bent on
peace and pacification. I know of no scene in
our history so dramatic as tbe meeting between
Ij'ncoln and Grant at theUhite House three
days after the surrender at Appomattox. Tbe
President, who had so loyally sustained the
General, and the General who had so magnifi
cently responded to the confidence of the Presi
dent, met lor tbe last time in their lives. Grant
returned with deep emotion tbe fraternal grasp
of the only man in Ihe country wbo fully un
derstood and was in complete accord with tho
.mllm? nf PArifirill&ttnn and rrtOHe. The work
of the warrior was don? and the labor of the
statesman begun. Yesterday it was destruc
tion; to-morrow it must be reconstruction.
Tnat nigbt the bullet of the assassin ended
the life ot our greatest President since Wash
ington, and postponed the settlement of sec
tional difficulties and the cementing of the
Union for many years.
There haTo been many Presidents of tho Uni
ted States and tbe roll will be indefinitely ex
tended. We have had a number of brilliant
soMlers, but onlyonc great general. Tbe honors
of civil life could add 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 with politicians and their methods,
llw spells svstem, from which he could not
escape, nearly wrecked his first administra
tion. His mistakes were due to a quality
which is the noblest of human virtues loyalty
to friends. Even at this short distance
from scenes so vivid in our memories party
rancor has lost its bitterness and blindness.
On great questions affecting ths honor and
credit of the nation he was always sound and
emphatic, and tbe administration of Gen.
Grant wiU have a place in the annals ot the
world for inaugurating and successfully carry
ing out the policy of the submission of inter
national disputes to arbitration. The Geneva
conference and the judicial settlement of the
Alabama claims will grow in importance ana
grandeur with time. As the nations of the
earth disband their armaments and are gov
erned by the laws ot reason and humanity they
will recur to this beneficent settlement between
the United States and Great Britain and Gen.
Grant's memorable words upon receiving the
freedom ot the dty of London : "Although a
soldier by education and profession, I have
never felt any sort of fondness for war and I
have never advocated it except as means of
peace" and they will hail him as one of the
benefactors ot mankind.
Gen. Grant was the product and representa
tive of tbe best element ot our social li'e.
Home aad its associations have been the train
ing and inspiration of our greatest and noblest
men. rcey n&ve come rrom tne cioss wmen
had neither poverty cor riches, and which was
compelled to work for tbe support of the family
and tbe education of tbe children. Its members
are Gcd-fearing men and loving, self-sacrificing
' women. It gave us Lincoln from tha farm, Gar-
field from the tow-path, Sherman from the
' crowded house of the brave and struggling wid
.ow, Sheridan from the humble cottage, and
(Grant from tbe home of the country store-
J keeper of tha Ohio wilderness. These men
i never lost their svmraihy with every human
'lot and aspiration or the homely simplicity of
i their eirly conditions and training. Grant
was clerk in the Custom House and Fred-
dent or the United States, a Lieutenant in
Mexico and Commander-in-chief of the armies
of the Union, numbering over a million of men,
the unknown junior In a tanners' firm at Galena
and tbo guest of emperors and kings. But the
xneincrvof the church of his mother waa ever
-visible in bis reverent regard for her teachings.
The applaaae of soldiers for their commander,
cf partisans for their chief leader, and of tbe
world for one of its most Uluetnoua heroes waa
grateful, but tho sweetest mnsc for Mm was

Use of Mice Tails.
Before we had much observed mice,
tho use of their long tails was a ques
tion that had puzzled us. We do not
know of what service they are to the
females, hut to the bucks they are, we
see, of use in their combats : for when
they fight they very often face one an
other standing on their hind legs, the
tail then making, as with kangaroos,
the third feature of a tripod.
'Their appearance when they thus
stand facing one another with their
heads thrown back and their paws in
front of their faces is,- on account per
haps of the resemblance it bears to the
posture of prize-fighters, extremely
comic. Small mice, also, when at
tacked by their bigger congeners, raise
their paws before their faces, the atti
tude iu that case strangely suggesting
one of deprecation.
What occurs when belligerent bucks'
actually engage, only instantaneous
photography could record, so rapid are
their movements. Presumably they
try to bite; but mu$t consider defense
the better part of valor, for they never
appear to get hurt much, and between
the rounds will nibble away at the
crust which brought them into the
vicinage, onlv showing their excite
ment by rattling their tails against the
ground. Occasionally, a tail seized by
the teeth leads to one mouse having to
drag his enemy over the floor till the
latter lets gp. Naturalist
rats Made Comfbrlable la Mew Fork.
. Marion Loftns, a patron of the Home
for Cats, New York, savs : There are
about sixty cats in the home now, and
jou can't imagine the comfort the poor
little tabbies are to those who take an
interest in their welfare. The home is
attracting attention, and a number of
persons have brought in little outcasts.
A number of substantial contributions
have been received from friends of the
home, and I think its success is as
sured. The cats are well taken care
of, provided with milk, a little meat,
and warm place-; to sleep. The
"strays," as we call them, compose a
very happy family; they do not fight,
and make no noise at night. I don't
believe one complaint has been received
on account of the presence of thecata.

Leagwe aad Boston the Association
gamall Notes From the Diamond.
Lincoln has moved up to tho front
during the week in the Western associa
tion, the tremendous slugging ability of
that team being responsible. Omaha in
resigning the lead has dropped to third
place and Minneapolis now ranks second.
St. Paul and Sioux City continuo to tail
up the procession. Milwaukeo drops
from third to fourth and Kansas City
displaces Denver from fifth place. Tho
event of the week has been the raid of
tho Louisvillo .American association
upon St. Paul, having enticed Ely, the
crack stortstopof St. Paul, by a promise
of $3,000 for tho balance of the season
and also walking off with Pitcher Jonctt
Meckin. Many bcliove Manager Wat
kins of St. Paul is taking this method to
uuload a losing club but he makes a
show at least of resistance by bringing
suit for an injunction to prevent his
men playing with Louisville. Sioux
City has strengthened its pitching talent
the past week and thcro is a promise
that tho Huskcrs will be in it hereafter.
Tho club percentages arc: Lincoln,
.641; Minneapolis, .625; Omaha, .603;
Milwaukee, .595; Kansas City, .450; Den
ver, .415; Sioux City, .385; St. Paul, .317.
Chicago has finished two series of its
eastern trip and still carries the colors
in the National leaguo, with a loss of
only three points. Now York, as prophe
sied, Is beginning to catch its winning
gait, and has leaped from a poor sixth
up to second place, dislodging Cleveland,
which tumbles to fourth position. Phil
adelphia trades off fifth placo to Boston
for third. Cincinnati now instead of
Brooklyn Is. the tall-cndor. All eyes aro
now on Chicago to see if tho colts are
going to be able to maintain their pres
ent fast pace. Hutchinson ont of four
teen games in the box for Chicago has
won eleven, and Anson prays daily that
this star twlrler's good right arm does
not lose its strength or cunning. Tho
club percentages are: Chicago, .639;
New York, .568; Philadelphia, .553;
Cleveland, .487; Boston, .487; Pitts
burg, .486; Brooklyn, .403; Cincinnati,
.34..
The week has seen a scaling down of
the percentages of the leaders in tho
American association and a correspond
ing gain to the lower half of the column.
Boston has dropped almost .100 per cent,
but still holds the lead but with a very
narrow margin over St. Louis, which
has not lost so much during the week.
Columbus has gone from seventh to
fourth place with tho biggest gain of
tho week. Louisville has been strength
ened by recruits seduced from tho West
ern association and is now expected to
glvo a better account of itself. Wash
ington maintains its firm grip upon tho
tail. Tho percentages are: Boston, .644;
St. Louis, .640; Baltimore, .558; Colum
bus,.478; Cincinnati,.407; Athletics, .465;
Louisvillo, .438; Washington, .293.
Base Ball Notes.
Pitcher Krock, who has been men
tioned so much in connection with tho
Sioux; City club, has como to terms and
signed a contract at last.
Pitcher Rosenthal, of tho Bcloit col
lege club, will reach Sioux City Juno 11.
Ho comes as an experiment, but those
who know of his work speak very highly
of him.
Brooklyn would not pay Pitcher
Staloy,. released by Pittsburg, his price,
and he has signed with tho Bostons for
S3,500.
Young Davis, Cleveland's center
fielder, a S1.500 man, is tho wonder of
tho season. His batting averago is. 402,
and his fielding is steadily phenominal.
Tho Athletic and Philadelphia clubs
havo both been seeking tho services of
big Ben Sanders, the pitcher, and bid
ding against each other for him. But
he is firm and says he is dono with base
ball. Sanders is a civil engineer.
Nichols has tho best strike-out record
of the year in tho league.
It is said that Herman Long is soon
to marry a Boston girl.
Denny has been released by New York
and signed by Cleveland. This former
king third baseman has nearly ruined
himself by hard drinking.
Pete Browning is hitting the ball hard.
However, thcro is little hopo of him
coming out premier batsman in tho
league.
Tho league so far has been more in
teresting than any previous year. The
positions of tho clubs change almost
daily.
Arlio Latham never played better .ball.
Ho is batting, fielding and running tha
bases in his old St. Louis style.
"King Kel" and Captain Buck Ewina.
aro both out of sorts. The former is nt
well and has a bad arm.
Tiernan is doing great work with the
stick and leads tho heavy New York
hitters.
It has been decided to hold tho fort in
Cincinnati and not transfer tho Ameri
can association team to Indianapolis.
Hogrievcr is learning to pitch. He is
said to be able to pitch a ball through a
six-inch plank.
Kansas Cityis in the soup. Manning's
crack pitchers are an easy mark for
opposing bjttsmcn.
The race is a great ono in the west,
and tho fellow who thinks he can -pick
tho winaer at this stage of the game has
nerve enough to rob a coach.
BigSwartwood, of Sioux City, is no
young blood. Ho-played with Hol
linger's Detroit team twelve years ago
1879. s
McClellan is playing wclttor Denver,
where they give prizes for homo runs.
Tcboau won a hat for the first homer,
Curtis received a handsomo cano for tho
second, and Short Stop White received
a silk umbrella for scoring the third
four-bagger.
In Jim Manning tho Kansas Citys
have a hustling, active, ambitious, en
thusiastic captain, and ono of the most
intelligent and gentlemanly ball players
in tho profession. It takes a good many
hard knocks to down that kind of a
player, and ho is bound to keep his club
"in it" to the very end.
