L GEN. FREMONT IS DEAD. The <«reat American Pathfinder” Joins the Silent Majority* New York, telegram: Major-Gen. Jo >n C. Fremont, the “Pathfinder,” died yesterday afternoon at the house of ; Mr. F. B. Thurber, No. 4!i WestTwentyfTfth street, after a short Illness. Tho ’ arrangements for the funeral have not 1 yet ! een completed. The services wiil probably be held at St. Ignatius Protestant L)dseopal church, of which Gen. i Fremont was an attendant. Jlver since : Congre.'S took the action which gave him the rani; of major-general on the re- , tired list. Gen. Fremont has been engaged in quiet but persistent literary work'. His aim has been to leaxe behind him or to have published before his death some chapters of tiie early I history of tho civil war, which, ho be- i lieved, would correct the erroneous j opinion which the countrj - had formed of his participation in it. H? had fin- , ished a few of these reminiscences but 1 continued at the others unwaveringly, ■ until his friends became alarmed at the ' strain to which he was subjecting him- I 1 self. Last Thursday, which will be remembered as one of the warmest days in this locality, he went with some friends into the country. He returned to his home Wednesday, but lie was unable to oat and expressed himself as feeling languid. The following day the general still felt ill and complained j also of having a severe pain across the 1 abdomen. Last Friday night Dr. Morton received a note from the general asking him to call, and upon doing to the iormer found his patient confined to his bed suffering from peritonitis. Lieut. Charles Fremont, who was at Sing Sing with his sick wife awaiting the fitting out of tho new cruiser, Philadelphia, to which ho was detailed, arrived in time to be present with his father to the last. Gen. I F'remont remainedjcc.'.seious until about 2 o'clock when the collapse began, land wit hin an hour and a half the end camo. Dr. Morton said to-day that the General's death, while its immediate cause was peritonitis, was unquestionably hastened by the long anxiety which he had endured concerning his treatment by tho government. “It seems partlculaidy sad,” said he, “that now, when tho General was more easily situ- j ated and nail more money than lie has had since the first years of th, war, ho should be taken away from his friends. It is a striking instance of the irony of fate.” Here and There. The ice trust in New Orleans will charge dealers $7.50 per 1,000 pounds.

Job gave the devil his first knockdown. Sins, like muskets, cannot stand alone. Grumblers and growlers haye no lifting power. The man who does right only because he is compelled to is not a Ghrisiian. God's doorstep is better than the devil’s palace. Love is free, but it takes money to go to housekeeping. Common sense and genuine religion always harmonize. We never really know a thing until we eau tell it to others. The man who is always looking for mud never sees the sky. If you want to find out how a man lives find out how he believes. 'I he man who has a high opinion of himself don't know himself. We often pay the most for what we need the least. BRIEF "SIFTINGS." A pawnbroker, after all, is but a poor, loan man. An eat compliment—What a good appetite you have! A red scent can frequently be found in an Indian wigwam. AVe have seen a bald-headed nian in tho very last row, but it was at chnrcF, not the opera. Some young men live so fast that watches left to them Ry their parents lose a couple of hour' a day.
