AMUsEMENTs.

PRoP. MARX BAILEY, Of Yale College, who
will give readings and reeitations before tho
Young Mems Christian Association, this even.
Ing, at Metzerott Hall, will be remembered by
many OF our citizens for his elegant and classic
rendering OF several standard poetic productions
with selected gems from Shakespeare, in Wesley
chapel, two years ago. From the deservediy
high reputation Of Prof. Bailey ms a scholar and
elocutiohist we do not doubt there will be aiarge
and appreciative auditory to listen to his beauti
full delineations. The programme is one Of the
hnest that could be presented. We observe that
1t includes the grand poem its author not known,
but supposed to be the late Bishop Heber) Of the
Burial Of Moses"
THE MoRRIs BRoTHEns had full house last
evening at Wallis Opera House. This Is one of
the most popular troupes In the country, and
their reputation had evidently preceded them,
judging by the select and enthusiastic audience
oflast evening. Their "trip around the world "
Is one Of the finest things we have ever seen, and
is more than worth the price Of admission. Billy
Morris is "a whole show" in himself, And Johnny
Queen has no superior as a jig dancer. The
whole company are perfect In their respective
parts, and cannot fail to draw crowded houses
during their engagement here.

repeated last evening to a crowded house, with
HAcKErr as Falstaf. Tonight the "Merry
Wives of Windsor" will be produced.

IN trade today, and A better, frmer feeling

prevailed. There quite a liberal attend
ance of both packers and shippers, and the
competition between these interests was Suffi.
cient to induce an advance of 100 I5c. and
all choice smooth lots were taken up sharp at
the improvement. For light uneven offerings,
there was little or no inquiry, and holders of
such were bothersdl to realize, even at the
prices current on yesterday. Buffalo, New
York, Pittsburgh and Boston were represent
ed, and for these points some 5000 head were
taken up. There was, however, no urgency
in the demand from any quarter, nor is there
likely to be until the weather becomes suffi.
GENTLY cool to enable packers to operate with
safety. st. Louis packers were again in at
tendance, but there was no considerable
movement on their part, q few sales only
being reported in their favor. The ST. Louis
CrcHla, OF the Odd contains the following in
regard to the Pork at that point:
Here we have been more moderate, and
during the week have cut 6,9l6, which, added
70 II 'lO9 at the end OF Of the last week, make
the total packing to date 81 927. There are
now in the pens Is, 500, in addition to $40 TO
arrive from Chicago, the first of series of
purchases in that for this market"
We also learn that several Cincinnati pack
ers are about visiting our market for the pur-
pose of obtaining supplies. The reported
transactions to-day foot up over $4,000 head.
at prices ranging at S5.00@5 .25 for common /;
S5.50@5.15 for medium to fair; and $4,000
e.37 for good to choice smooth fat lots. The
market closes strong at So .0006 25. The few
sales effected at S6.30@6.3715 were for out
side lots, and should not be taken into account
in quoting the market.

WESTON.

Weston failed to walk his hundred miles
for the fifth and last time on Monday. He
reached South Bend, Sc miles from Water
loo, his starting point, about Q o'clock, p.
NJ, and had two hours and quarter IN
which to walk the remaining ii miles, but
he complained of sore ANGLE, said the
crowd had injured his left foot by tramp
ing upon it, and declined to proceed any
further. 1t is the general impression that
he could have made the distance had he
desired. He walked to Laporte Tues
day, where he arrived about dark, and at
ter eating supper and consulting with Mr..
Van Orden, concluded to remain all night.
He expects to reach Chicago, GO miles
from Laporte, some time in the forenoon
of Thursday.

THE PRESIDENCY.

The Democrats are trying very
hard Just now to create distrust
of General Grant in the minds of
Republicans. They insinuate that if
the Republicans nominate and elect
him President he will betray them as
Johnson has, but our friends need
not be troubled by these assertions
and prophecies. 1t may be safely
assumed by all that if General Grant
is not in hearty sympathy with the
Republican party he will not consent
to become its chief standard bearer
in the approaching canvass He is
no Office seeker, and if he consulted
his own wishes alone, would doubt
less prefer remaining in his present
position to being President. Meth
err does he belong to the Johnson
type or class. He is incapable OF
such treachery and meanness as
johnson has been guilty of, and
since he has been acting Secretary of
War has shown so much zeal in
economising the expenses of that
Department that the people have con-
cluded he is the very man to place at
the head of the nation. They feel
that if he were placed in that posi-
ton the most rigid economy would
be observed in the public expendi-
lures and the burdens created by the
Democratic rebellion and Buchanan's
thieving Cabinet lessened as much as
possible On the other hand they
feel that if Pendleton or any other
Copperhead were in the Presidential
Chair, backed up by a majority of
Congress, their burdens would be in
creased four fold by the assumption
of the Confederate debt, and paying
or agreeing to pay the rebels for
their slaves, and damages for all the
property taken and destroyed by the
Union armies.
The Cops, therefore, may rs well
save their breath to cool their por-
ridge They cannot by their base
inuendees and lies destroy or dimin-
ish even the confidence reposed In
General Grant by the Republican
masses. They may as well prepare
TO hurl at him the denunciations and
ISLANDERS with which they assailed him
when he and his gallant soldiers were
whipping their Southern friends, as
he will undoubtedly be the Repnbli-
can nominee, and elected by the
votes OF three-fourths if not four
fiiths of the States.
