The Shortest Route. ' Nearly everyday you read in some newspaper that such and such a railroad has the shortest line from one Important city to another. One railway company will advertise that It is a “short line from Chicago to Omaha.” A competing line then positively states that It is “a shorter line from Chicago to Omaha than any other,” and now the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway insists that It is “the shortest line from Chicago to Omaha," and proves it by this map: r. n rapids Bii/ffa PES MOINES | k The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company also says that it is the “best line to St. Paul and Minneapolis,” which is a fact, with “electric lighted trains” and reading lamps in each berth, so that ono can read all night long if he has a book and doesn’t want to sleep. It brags abut the “finest dining cars in the world,” with the best of meals served on imported china by the most expert and civil colored waiters. at 75 cents, while the lines oast of Chicago charge a whole dollar. . And—once more—the Chicago, Mllwaukes & St. Paul Railway opens up a new through car line from Chicago to Denver, via Omaha and Lincoln, and it isn't long before the whole world says to itself that “shortest line from Chicago to Omaha,” that “best line to St. Paul and Minneapolis” and that “new route to Denver” must be the only first-class railroad in the western par. of the United States, and what the whole world says must be true. The address of the passenger agent in Chicago is 207 Clark street, and everybody who wishes to travel over the best road In the West goes there to purchase tickets and secure sleeping car reservations. An Idaho Wonder. An underground lake has been discovered three miles from Genesee, Idaho. It was found by a well-digger. At a depth of sixteen feet clear, pure lake water ran out over the surface for a time, then settled back to the earth’s level. The most curious part of it is that fish were brou^t to the surface by the overflow. The^nave a peculiar appearance and are sightless, indicating that they are underground fish. The spring has attracted much attention, and many farmers in the vicinity fear that their farms will drop into the lake. This Arronnts for It. A scientist has discovered that nearsightedness prevails to a larger extent among blondes than brunettes. This accounts, then, for Germany being the nation of spectacles.

GRANT’S FAME IN STONE NEW YORK HAS BEGUN ITS MONUMENT. Ceremonies of a Most Elaborate ami Imposing Character — President Harrison li ields tile Golden Trowel—Appearance of the Completed Monument. Honor to Gen. Grant. The corner-stone of the nation's monument to Gen. U. S. Grant in Riverside Park, New York, was laid with becoming ceremonies. The weather was all that could be desired, a cloudless sky, bright sunshine, tempered by a moderate breeze blowing over the Hudson River. Long before the time fixed for the dedication ceremonies the immense grand stand, erected in close proximity to where the monument will stand and partly surrounding the corner-stone, began to fill with those who had been invited and hady tickets, lyid by noon it was computed that there were fully eight or nine thousand persons on the stand. The large number of ladies, in their bright and showy spring costumes, heightened the already brilliant spectacle. This crowded stand, with about three thousand veterans of the G. A. R. formed in line, around and about the resting-place of their dead hero, with the charming scenery along the Hudson River and the Palisades in the distance, formed a picture which has seldom if ever been surpassed if equaled. Shortly after neon the Presidential party, escorted by Troop A, of the National Guard of New York, left the Fifth Avenue Hot 1 and proceeded to Riverside Park. In the carriages were President Harrison, Mrs. Grant and members of her family, Secretary Foster, Secretary Rusk, Secretary Elkins, Postmaster General Wanamaker, Private Secretary Halford and many other distinguished guests. As the Presidential party approached the tomb the

United States Band played 'Hail to tho Chief,” white heads were uncovered, handkerchiefs waved and the inimt use throngs shouted their huzzas. After a few moments’ quiet Rev. Dr. John Hall offered up a prayer, which was listened to by all in deferential silence. The President of the Grant Monument Association, General Horacjs Porter, thi n delivered an address detailing in brief the doings of the association and their status since the inception of the project. The event of the day was the laying of the corner stone by President Harrison. After putting mortar around the stone with a gold trowel that Superindent Brady had made for the occasion, the stone was lowered into position. The corner-stone l ox, made of copper, was then filled with the relies which will be buried in it. They were: t on-tkution of ti e I'nite I States. Declaration of Indep< n lenec. Articles of c»nfederation. The Bible. Memoirs of General Grant Memorial Day pamph et. May 30 and 81, 1886. A copy of Mayor Giant's pr clamation regarding the Guant monument. A new American flax. Medals and coins fr m the United States mint. Various illustrated and daily’ pipers. President Harrison then briefly addressed the assemblage, after which the band played a selection of national airs. Chauncey M. Depew then stood up, giving the audience the signal for another tremendous outburst of cheering. Mr. Depew began by declaring that the predominant sentiment of General

Grant was his family and his home. He shrank from display all his Lfe, and would have preferred being buried by the side of his father and mother, but appreciating the claim of his oountrywmen upon his memory, \’he chose New York as

He made but one condition, and that was that his loyal wife should be buried by his side. He would have no monument, however grand, which would separate him from her during the unnumbered years of the hereafter. Continuing, the orator said: New Yorii, in accepting tnis bequest of General Grant, has assumed a sacred trust. Upon no municipality and its citizens was ever devolved a more so'emn duty. From tile tenderejt motives, he took from the natioiuil government the task which it would most,loyally and lovingly have performed, and Intrusted It to this great city. The whole country are enlisted in the army of reverence and sorrow, but he appointed New York the guard of honor. L t the monument which will rise upon this cornersione bo worthy of the magnitude of the metropolis and the grandeur of the subject. General Grant needs no stately shaft or niasuve pile to perpetuate his memory. The republic is.his monument, and its history during vhat jnust always be its most critical and interesting period will be the stcy of his deeds. Mr. Depew then sketched General Grant’s career, and summed up his character as follows: No man can be truly great unless he is also magnanimous. Grant was the most self-sacrificing < f friendsand the most generous of foes. “Unconditional surrender. I move In mediately on your fvor cs," were the conditions Grant offered Buckner at Doneleon, but in the darkness of the night he entered the prisoner’s tent and said: “Buckner, you must have lost everything;

take ray purse. * He had been for months making toilsome efforts to break thrifugb tho confederate lines, but after the surrender of their defenders he refused to go within them. 'I he failure to capture the confederate capital had exhausted the resources and Impaired the reputation of all the generals who had p eroded him, but when It lay prostrate at his feet he sternly declined the triumph of an entry at the head of his victorious army. It was difficult to win his confidence, but when once gained, his heart, his efforts, and his fortune were at command. Neither secret nor open enemies, neither direct charges nor anonymous revelations could disturb his friendship for anyone he had once trusted. To Sherman and Sheridan he gave unstinted praise. He was so entirely free from envy or Jealousy, so enthusiastic in his admiration of these lieutenants, that lie awarded to them the larger share of credit for the ultimate triumph of tho Union cause. But these same qualities, so creditable to his ingenuous and generous nature, became the chief sources of his mistakes and troubles when he was treading with untrained steps amid flie quicksands of political and business Life. The culminating triumph of Gen. Grant was that he received and returned the sword of Loe. The one act typified the victor,’ and perpetuity of the Union and the other that its defenders forever' after would be those who with equal and unequaled courage had fought to save and to destroy It. Grant’s claims upon the gratitude of h’s coin try men are many. He will have peculiar remembrance for having, with President Lincoln. Immediately recognized chat the republic must live as the fathers had founded it. The most brilliant jewels in his crown of glory will be that, though a conqueror In the field, he counseled through life, and advised with his pen when in his last hours bls voice had failed, peace and reconciliation among his countrymen, and that, though a soldier President, be successfully demonstrated the justice and wis torn of settling disputes among nations not bp- war. but by arbitration. The tendrils of loyalty and love stretch from this' monument to every soldier’s grave in the land. This imperial city proudly and affectionately assumes the custody of his remains. The peonle called from the absorbing cares of life by his natal day and this solemn ceremony take up again their burdens with lighter hearts

Dr. John Hall then pronounced the benediction, and th' services ended by the firing'of a salute of twenty-one guns from the United S ates ship Miantonomah, stationed in the Hudson. The ceremony was marked as being without pomp or ostentation; in fact, such a one as the deceased general would have desired. There was no marked martial display, but here and there in the crowd was a sprinkling of officers of the army and navy. 'I he whole ceremony was civil from every point of view. The Monument. The Grant Monument, in which the remains of the General are to lie, has been materially changed in the past month, but as far as the exterior is concerned it remains as impressive in appearance and design as at first planned. Many of the central columns within have been eliminated from the plans, and a good deal of the panel work will be omitted. The plan of the crypt has also been materially ^changed, and as now designed will be simply a circular opening protected by railings above, but jw * to 11 r IX THE CR . PT. with* ut thd ornamental work first planned for the sides. The designer of the monument, Mr. John H. Duncan, has reluctantly made the changes advocated in the line of economy, and expressed himself grateful for the fact that th? liberality of'the subscribers has permitted the exterior of the monument to remain practically unchanged, but for some slight modifiI cations at the southern entrance. It is now about seven years since the ! death of Gen. Grant, and during that : time the movement for the erection of > this monument has been going on slow- ' ly. It took six years to collect the first ■ $150,000 —less than half the amount ' needed—and it has taken the reorgani ized committee little over six weeks to i insure the collection of the remainder. J Never in the history of similar move- ■ merits has work undertaken nn ler such I disheartening circumstances been sc j enthusiastically and successfully conI eluded, and the praise must go to Gen. i Horace Porter and his splendidly mani aged departments.

Unmatched In America. The , Critic describes at length two volumes of autograph letters, documents, signatures, etc., belonging to J. Pierpont Morgan, the New York banker, which probably have* no mates anywhere, and^certainly are unmatched In America. One of them contains the autographs of almost every ruler of England fi’Qm Henry VI. " (1450) to George 11., as well as those of Warwick the Kingmaker, Mary Stuart, Sir AValter Raleigh, the Duke of Marlborough, Henry IV., and Louis XIV., Frederick the Great, William the Silent, Prince Robert, Bishop Latimer, Milton, Ben Johnson, Addison, Pope, Dr. Johnson, Newton, Watts, etc. The other (a much handsomer book) contains not only the autographs, but engraved portraits also, of the Kings and Queens of England since George 11., Including the present heir apparent, Nelson, Wellington, Humboldt,' Washington, etc., and many of the most illustrious English and American men and women of letters of the century. Mr. Morgan owns also the letter in which Cornwallis asked Washington to consider terms for the surrender of Yorktown. Bay Rum. Bay rum is manufactured in Dominica from the dried leaves of pimenta acris. Bay rum is procured by distillation, and this in a very simple manner. The leaves are picked from the trees and then dried. In this state they are placed in the retort, which is then tilled with water and the process of distillation is carried on. The vapor is then condensed in the usual way, and forms what is known as “My oil,” a very small quantity of which is required lor each puncheon of rum. The manufacture of bay rum is carried on at the northern end of Dominica, and proves a very lucrative business to those engaged in it, as tire plants are plentiful in this district.
