The Nett PresiieneI.

The story Of Judge Carter's inter
view with Gsnersd Grant, h an extra
ordinary one. The Judge is n we'll
known Republican politician OF
Washington, holding strong radical
views His favorife candidate for the
Presidency il Ben. wade-who il one
of the grandest Of our pablie raep,
whether Presidential candidate or
not. The object Of the f,idvs IN cali
ing upon the General. was whats IL
was 20 a-seertsfn, first, whether Gen
cral Grant would he candidate, and,
second, IL 80, rs-it1 rrl.icl, party ne ,eov,st
da. I Nw York Independent.
The above Is the opening of long
article, in which the Ldelsndeat pro-
eeede to second the effort of Wendell
Phillips 70 demolish General Grant.
The story would, certainly, be an ex-
traorllnary one, if it were true; bat il
Is not true that Judge Carter called ON
General Grant TO ascertain with
which party he would aet,r If b.
should be candidate for the Prcsi-
dency.
1t is very well known BY those who
have eonversed with General Grant,
that he has no sympathy with the
Democratic party, and il II 80 happens
that he is candidate for the Presi-
dency, he will r7m as Rep,sblieon.
General Grant has not seen fit to ex-
press publicly his political views; but
il Is Well known that he does not try to
conceal from those who converse with
him, that his sympathies are decided
ly with the Republican party; and
furthermore, il viii probably be found
that he is quite IA efficient i'm sustain
ing the principles of the party as those
who assail him.
General Grant may or may not he a
candidate for the Presidency; but il l.
due to him, and it il but just To say,
that he is Republican, and would in
dignantly decline a nomination from
any other party.-[ Cincinnati Gazette.

From the Selma Times, Nav -
Tragic suicide of Defauiting Bank
President, at Selma, Alabama.

On the 10Th of last month John NJ.
Parkman, President Of the First
National Bank Of this city, offered,
through the city papers, reward OF
$4,000 for the recovery of SlG0,oo0,
said TO have been stolen the day before
from the bank On the following day
General Swayne, on behalf of the
Government, took possession of the
hank and its deposits, and placed the
President under military arrest. The
next morning Parkman escaped from
his residence, where he was under
guard, and took the Cahaba road on
horseback. General Swayne offered n
reward of 81 800 for his apprehension,
and on the 10Th he was captured i'm
Wilcox county, brought back 10 Selma,
and on the following day lodged in
the county jail at Cahaba where he
had remained until yesterday evening
shout sun set. At this hour the in
mates of the Jail were assembled in
the hall when the jailor entered. Upon
the opening of the door, Perkman
rushed ont and made for the Alabama
river, about seventy-five yards distant.
The jailor fired at him as he ran, and
oon afterwaid he was seen to fall.
Recovering himself he ran to the river
and struck out as n swimmer. The
steamer Gertrude was lying about
twenty yards below where he entered,
and his movements We're distinctly
seen by party of ladies and gentle
men aboard. He disappeared once or
twice while floating down to the boat,
and efforts were being made To save
him. Reaching the wheel of the boat
which was not in motion, he paused
for "a moment, stif1led and exhausted
then sunk under the boat, and has not
been seen since.
He leaves n wife and two children
overwhelm with the sad calamities
of few weeks, and exciting the ten
derest sympathies- of the entire COM
munity.

A Spiritual Manifestation.

Not long ago, kind-hearted and
generous man died, leaving behind
him a fearfully jealous, sombre-m mind
ed wife TO mourn his loss.
After the poor man was dead, she
began Ia exhibit signs of repentance,
and acknowledged to her friends that
she had done her poor dead husband a
great wrong, while upon earth.
She was advised to visit a medium,
and ask his forgiveness, which she
did.
The medium called up the departed
spirit of the husband, when the fol-
lowing dialogue occurred:
Wife-Is this the spirit of my dear
huGband?
Answer-It is.
Wife-Will you forgive me my wick
edness toward you while on earth?
Answer-Yes.
Wife-Are you more happy now than
when living?
Answer-Much happier.
Wife-Do you desire to retun 10
earth:
Answer-No.
Wife-Where are you?
Answer-In h-ll!
Exit bereaved widow.

"CRYING THEIR EYES orr. This

by Germans when speaking of the

vines were strong CANES we'll grown,

An election was held i'm Illinois on
Monday, Sd ult., for judicial officers.
The returns show a very light vote, i'm

THIS would Indicate that the officers
of the law are not considered of much
Importance in that State. The Repub-
lican candidates Were generally Sue
cessful. and no irregular candidates
elected as far as heard from, except
Judge Wilcox, of the twenty-eighth

Weeping Skies.


These weeping skies, these weeping skies.
They weep so much that l weep too:
And everything, like Mary's eyes,
Around, above, below, looks blue.
Such days as these will never do:
Ny muse can never soar again;
Her wings are wetted, through and through
She tries to fly, but all in vain.
Love brought wreath, laurel wreath,
And it was stepped in fog, not dew;
The little urchin dropped beneath,
And gladly down his burden threw.
"The sylphs have sent the wreath to you,"
He laughed as he his errand told
What makes it look so very blue?
Says Love; /" It's only touched with mould"
I twined the wreath around my brow,
And felt my brain grow numb and chill:
If had worn the wreath till now,
My heart had been forever still
Oh skies that weep so much will kill
The MUSES., and their servant, Love;
Their home is on the sunny hill,
Where noughtis blue but heaven above.

A PORTRAIT OF "SpooNs. "A New Yorl

reputation anywhere, has sent us lihographic
picture, accompanied with the following note
"Explanation, presume, is unnecessary,
except that no INSULT is intended. As you
seem to be SO well posted in the characteristics
and proclvties of the Beast, the embodiment
of modern Repubcanism, and their chosen
candidate for the next Presidency, I have
taken the liberty of sending you his carte de
Esite.'
The picture is that of solitary horseman,'
wearing the Federal livery belonging to ma
jor general-his cock-eyes and pile Of plumber
indicating who he is-the notorious thief and
coward, Brute Butler From bis neck is sus-
pended door-plate bearing the name OF
Il. 4eadon.' On the right arm of the Lowell
Beast is small basket filled with goblets and
cake-baskets; from his left arm hangs a SINH
lar basket, crammed with cream pitchers and
other articles of a silvery nature Both hands
are filled with spoons, forks and knives, while
across the back of the four-footed beast arc
piled dresses and undergarments for female
wear The eyes of the horse fairly start from
their sockets with his load of plate and sin.

WOODEN SHoEs.-The French Sabots are
made entirely of wood. The principal mar
kets are Paris, Lyons and Nantes, and here
the master sabot makers repair once year
and receive the orders of the tradesmen. AT
ter getting memorandum of the number and
quality required they return, and the work
commences. The workmen, with women and
children, seek the woods in body, build huts
of branches, plastered with mud, and cut
down the beech, birch and sometimes walnut
and aspen for materials for the shoes. These
are made into boot, shoe and gaiter sabots,
roughly pared BY the children, shaped by the
men and followed out by the women. One
Paris maker employs twenty-five master work
men and one thousand peasants making sa-
bots. The city dealers prepare them for the
market by backing and polishing. The up

The Wife to Her Incorporate Husband
From the New Orleans Sunday Tines
Stay, stay, my husband, do not leave
Our cottage home tonight;
4 storm is near-there's not star
To guide thy steps Alright.
And mark! the waiIing Of the wind
Seems like spirits moan;
trembe, dearest,--dO not 90
And leave me here alone
Ipray thee. Arthur, hasten not
Where maudlin rbalds meet,
Whose noisy uirh and curses loud
Awake the slumbering street.
Clasp not the strange Circean cup,
Refuse the wine to sip,
Else soon the addeI's poison fang
VIII fasten on thy lip.
Oh. stay and will sing the songs,
THRILLED in our happier years,
When the first power Of love was owned
And knew nOught Of tears:
When sheeny castles rose in air,
With laughter and with jest,
And thou dd'st seek, like crrant-knigLt,
Thy loyalty to test.
And we will speak of him who placed
This trusting hand in-thine,
And smiled, and bless'd US, when theu gaid'st
Now, Mary, thou art mine:"
Of her whose bright, yet tender glance,
Bespoke maternal pride,
For was | not to tread life's path
In safety by thy side?
Think of thy father he whose form
Lies meath the churchyard sod
Thou vert his treasure and his priAo-
He loved thee next to God
Think of thy mother of the kiss
She pressed upon thy cheek
Thou feerst it yet, that last caress
From lips that could not speak.
Oh let their memory check thee now
In this insane career;
When reason reigns from all the crowd
cannot find thy peer.
do not chide thee. dearest, no,
| ask thee but to break
These bonds that mar thy noble soul
oh, rend them for my sake
Come, you must hear our Nina sing
Her simple evening hymn,
And list the prayer for g dear papa"
She'll improvise for him.
She has thousand winning ways,
The artless little dove!
And the language that she speaks is full
Of pleasantness and love.
Our Graded Arche-friends declare
How much he looks like me,
But when he smiles, ali! then they say
He most resembles thee.
Does he not look a cherub plumed
And ready for the sky?
But oh no, no, | could not live
If " birdie" were to die.
Arthur, you weep; what is't You say,
Youth rend the inebriate chain?
Oh joyful words oh promise blest
That brings me trust again.
Father! my heart, late filled,
Now overfows with bliss;
thank Thee for all blessings, but

3HE POWER OF FREEMAsoNRY-A REMARK
ABLE PARIsH-There is a parish in Ulster
not hundred miles from Belfast, in which
queer kind of unity, peace and sympathy is tc
be found. If all Ireland were like this par.
ish, il would be the strangest island in the
world. When the rector hears that one Of the
Presbyterian clergy is i'll, he Immediately col
lects all his own flock to pray with him for
the life and health Of his Presbyterian brother.
AS one may suppose, many of all the demon
nations are present at this service. The rec
tor also, by invitation, visits his Presbyterian
brother, and earnestly prays at his bedside.
When the rector is i'll, the Presbyterian clcr
gy convoke their congregations, and fervent
prayer is offered for the sick E pscopaian.
When sorrow visits the homes Of any of these
men, deep is the sympathy of the others for
him. When the rector goes abroad, one of
the three Roman Catholic priests addresses
him with a kind proposal to provide gift of
stout horse for his comfort. The same priest
(now Roman Catholic prelate) recommended
to his people always to show marked respect
to the ladies of this rector's family when they
met them walking. Another priest writes
courteous letters, and makes the best delinea-
ton in his power Of bis own church. Anoth-
err priest waylays this rector on his return
from parochial visitations, and asks him, with
hearty good will, to refresh himself with cake
and wine. The Roman Catholic parishioners
delight to send fish, new potatoes and bulky
caulif1owers to this rural rector. When any
of his family are sick, great is their concern.
When daughter who loved them all, and
even minisering to the sick and poor. was dy-
ing, last year, prayers were offered up in the
Roman Catholic houses in her behalf Nay,
tell it net in Gath,'' when the rector was
some time since dangerously i'll, prayers were
offered up for his recovery in the Roman
Catholic chapel of the priest The reader may
be anxious to know the name of the parish and
the rector, and SO, not to prolong a mystery
which ought to be no mystery, the parish is
Loughinisland, and the rector is Dr.. Drew,
Chaplain to his excellency, Chaplain 10 the
Right Honorable the Earl of Enniskillen, and
Honorable Grand Chaplain to the Grand
Lodge of Ireland. Appeal
