Ak Eloquexx Tbibote to Grant mor Henry Ward Beecher A Soldier Wno Never Lo3t Comaol or 31m Equanimity. Boston, Oct. 22. An immense crowd assembled in Tremont Tem ple to-night to hear Henry Ward Beeeher's eulogy on Gen. Grant. The speaker began with a brief synopsis of the life of Grant, allud ing to his lack of success in early business pursuits and his connection with the war with Mexico. Ho re ferred to the need of the North, at the opening of the war of the Re bellion, for a man of iron mold who had but two words in his vocabu lary, "victory" or "annihilation," and added: "Three great names were rising to sight Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan and larger than either was Grant. With his advent tho armies, with some repulses, went steadily forward from conquer ing to conquer. Aside from all his military qualities, he had one ab sorbing spirit, the Union must be saved; the rebellion must be beaten; the Confederate armies must bo thrashed to chaff, as on a summer thrashing lloor. lie had no political ambition; no imagimuy reputation to preserve or gain. A great genius for grand strategy; a comprehen sion of complex and vast armies ; caution, prudence and silence while preparing; an endless patience, an indomitable will, and a real down right lighting quality. . Thus, at length, Grant was redly born. He had lain in the nest long as an un fertile egg. The brooding of the war hatched the egg, and an eagle came forth." MOTIVES RUMNO COMMANDERS. The speaker then referred in de tail to the condition of the armies, the molics tilling the commanders and soldiers of both sides, the many fierce battles in which thousands were killed and many more thou sands were wounded, and added: "Into this sulphurous storm of war Grant entered almost unknown. It was with difllculty that he could obtain a command. Once set for ward, Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksbuig, Chicamagua, the Wilderness, Spott sylvania, Petersburg, Appomattox, these were his footsteps. In four years he had risen, without political iavor, from the bottom to the very highest command, not second to anj' living commander in the world." grant's magnanimity. Reviewing his military career as a whole, Mr. Beecher said: "He never lost his courage or equanimity. With a million men, for whose move ments he was responsible, he yet carried a tranquil mind, not dis tressed by disasters nor elated by success. Gentle of heart, familiar with all, never boasting, always modest his work was done and the defeat of the Confedeiate armies was final. This dreadful man of blood was as tender toward his late adversaries as a woman toward her son. He imposed no humiliating conditions, spared the feelings of his antagonists, sent home the dis banded Southern men with food and with horses for working their crops. And when a revengeful spit it in the Executive chair showed itself and threatened the chief Southern Gene rals, Grant, with holy indignation, interposed himself and compelled his superior to relinquish his rash purpose." ability not luck. The speaker dwelt at some further length upon Grant's military career, refuting, in passing, tho charges which attributed his success to luck, and criticisms upon what some called the waste of life of his own soldiers and the butchery of his enemies, and in concluding his remarks upon Grant's military life, said: "All summer, all the autumn, all the winter, all the spring and in the early summer again, he hammered Lee with blow on blow until at Ap pomattox the great, but not the greatest Southern General went to the ground. Having brought the long and disastrous war to a close, in his own heart Grant would have chosen to have rested upon his laurels and lived a retired military , life. It was not to be permitted. He was called to the Presidency by universal acclaim, and it fell upon him to conduct the campaign of re construction, even more buidensomc tlian war." administrative career. After dwelling upon tho various acts of Gen. Grant's national ad ministration and his reconstruction policy, the speaker summed up his adininistrativo career as follows: '"On the whole, if one considers the intrinsic difficulty of the questions belonging to his Administration, the stormy condition of politics and parties during his eight years, it - 'must be. admitted that the country I owes to his unselfish disposition, to hjs general wisdom, to his unsullied integrity, if not the meed of the wisest, yet the reputation of one who, pre-eminent in war, was emi nent in administration, more perhaps by the wisdom of a noble nature than by the intelligence- which is bred only by experience. Yet im perious counselors and corrupt para sites dimmed tho light of his political administration." grant's virtues. Mr. Beecher then dwelt upon the retired life of Gen. Grant, referring to his business reverses and the equanimity which characterized him subsequently, and after speaking briefly of his fatal sickness, con cluded as follows: "A man he was without vices, with absolute hatred of lies and an ineradicable love of truth ; of perfect loyally to friend ship, neither envious of others nor selfish himself. With zeal for the public good unfeigned, he has left to memory only such weaknesses as connect him to humanity and such virtues as will rank him among heroes. The tidings of his death, long expected, gave a shock to the whole world. Governments, rulets, eminent statesmen and scholars from all civilized nations gave sincere tokens of sympathy. For the hour sympathy rolled ns a wavo all over our land. It closed the last furrow of war, extinguished the last preju dice, effaced tho last vestige of hatred, and cursed be tho hand that blings them back. Johnston nnd Buckncr on one side of his bier, Sherman and Sheridan on the other, he has come to his tomb a silent sj'mbol that liberty had conqnered slavery; patriotism, lebcllion: and peace, war. He rests in peace. No drum or cannon shall disturb his rest. Sleep, hero, until another trumpet shall shake the heavens and earth! Then come foith to glory in immortality!" ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. How Negotiations Regarding TnE Afghan Frontier Dispute were Carried On. New York, Oct. 23. A London cablegram says the oiucial nine Book giving a history of the nego tiations between Great JJritain and Russia regarding tho Afghan fron tier question was issued to-day. It is much more interesting reading than such summaries usually are, and it gives all the information that will ever lie officially supplied re garding the crisis of last spring, which most people believed would culminate in a great war. The pub lication of the Blue Book at this time is bound to have a great effect upon English politics, and its results arc almost certain to lie more favor able to the Conservative than to the Libei al party. The Afghan contro veis3T, of which this volume is a his tory, began during the late Liberal Administration and was brought to a close by the present Conservative Government. About one-half of the British despatches published in the book are signed by Karl Granville, and the other half by Lord Salis bury, the present Premier. The contrast between, the des patches is most marked. Gran ville's utterances are marked by weakness and shiftiness. They fre quently show much craftiness of a kind which' suggests that they were the work of Gladstone's mind, al though of Granville's hand, but they arc over-matched, even in craft, by the replies of l)c Gicrs, the Russian Foreign Minister. Salis bury's despatches, on the other hand, arc noticeably firm and vigor ous. Their perusal has a breezy and refreshing effect upon the reader, after the paltering plati tudes that preceded them. It is evident that Lord Salisbur3T, when he reluctantly assumed his great office, had a well-settled policy re garding Russia, and that lib steadily and sturdily pursued it. His suc cessful management of this moment ous controversy is now for the first time revealed to the world. It de serves to rank, and doubtless will rank, alongside of tho British tri umphs won by Salisbury and Beaconsfield in tho diplomatic tour nament known to history as the Berlin Congress. From tho moment that Salisbury took control of affaiis tho tone of the despatches from St. Petersburg became greatly changed. They had been alternately sneering and threat ening; they became elusive and crafty, but always respectful. Some of tho dodges resorted to by Russia aro amusing in the light of subse quent events. "When it became evi dent to the Russian official mind that it was useless to try to brow beat Salisbury, Do Gicn. suggested that the question of the ownership of tho Zulfikar Pass bo postponed until tho other points were settled. The proposal -was promptly nega tived by Salisbury. Do Giers then offered to submit tho Zulflknr Pass P question to u Geographical Commis sion. 'Xlus was albo peremptorily refused and Russia yielded. It is evident from the btudy of the despatches that war trembled in the balance on several occasions. There were also incidental squab hie about certain Persian matters, which ineicato that sooner or later there will bo a serious complication between Persia and England. few . 1. Tj,,4.

THE undersigned, n Committee of Di rectors of the Equitable Life As surance Society of tho United States, appointed to formulate the views of the Board on the advantages offered by the Society to the public, leport: 1st The Society issucs all the approv cd forms of assurance, including Ordi nary Life, Er dowment and Tontine po licies. It is immateiial to the Directors which form of policy is taken by in tending assurers. 2d The Life and Endowment forms of policy provide for annual cash divi. dends and a suiienilcr value; arc indis putable after three years and payablo immediately after proof of death. 3d .The premiums on a Tontine po licy are the same as on tho Ordinary Life, but, while the latter is only pay. able in the ovent of death, tho holder of the Tontine policy has the right to draw tho whole of tho reserve and tho accu mulntcd prolits in rash at the end of a stated period; thus, during his own life time, after his producing years are past, he can, without any larger premium than on an ordinary policy, secure these greater advantages. 4th Experience shows that tho return paid in cash on maturing Tontino po licies approximates to or exceeds the amount of premiums paid by policy holders, so that tho average cost of the assurance will bo only about the interest on the premiums. Gth Tontino policies, like others, aro paid in full in tho event of death at any time during the term of the policy, and aro incontestable after three years, and payablo immediately after due proof of death. Oth Experience shows that tho mor tality is lower among Tontino policy, holders, as .the better lives seek this kind of assurances, which is a consider, able source of profit. 7th Tontino policies will bo made non-forfeitable under tho laws of tho State, if so desired at tho time tho ns. surnneo is effected. 8th Tho Tontino system is fair and just; its accounts aro accurately kept, scparnto from all other business; the funds judiciously invested and improv. ed, and tho accumulated profits faith, fully guarded and properly appoitioned. O1I1 Tito Society has since us organ!, .ation transacted a larger amount of now busine&s than any other company, whilo its new business for the ilrst halt of tho present year is $l,7GO,00O larger than that of tho first half of 1884.
