+ q The Baltimore american recently pub
lished the following special dispatch from
Washington: sf,a..-, f,,s. yf.,s...r,,. ,.,.,,at
+" Leading upholdersi of President John
son are constantly evincing their dread of
Grant. They lose no opportunity of put
ting forth innuendoes and even flat asser-
tions intended to throw doubt upon his
position as an earnest supporter of Con-
gress and its plan of reconstruction
Montgomery Blair is the most prominent
of those who are laboring to misrepresent
his position, and he is probably the most
scrupulous of those who are now working
to restore the Democratic party to full
power. That there should be any doubts
entertained upon the subject, is a proof of
the fact that he is an earnest Republican,
and his friends would as soon doubt the
devotion of Judge Chase, Speaker Colfax,
or Senators Wilson and Wade to all the
leading principles of the party. Congress
will meet in ten days, and within three
days after its assemblage there will be no
room for any one to doubt the position of
General Grant. His testimony, given six
months ago before the Judiciary Commit
tee of the House of Representatives, will
then be published. 5aa a ae
at will forever silence all cayil or sus.
picion on this subject. 1t is voluntary
statement, and was not drawn out by any
cunningly devised questioning on the part
of the members of the committee 1t is a
statement made long before there was any
serious talk of bringing him out as a can
didate for the Presidency. Every Repub-
lican member of the Judiciary Committee
endorses him, and the whole Republican
party of the country will enroll him as
among those entitled to full membership.
The publication of this testimony will
have more weight than any declarations
that might be now made by General Grant
in reply to the suspicious and innuendoes
thrown out by Montgomery Blair, and he
can afford to wait ten days longer"

ONIONS AS A MEDICINE. = Hardly too
much can be said in favor of onions as a
remedy for coughs and colds, especially
for children, they are invaluable. They
may be cooked and eaten at meal time, or,
what is better, eaten raw with little salt,
or stirred up in vinegar. A syrup made
of them has saved many child from an
attack of Group or lung fever, and where
these diseases were fully settled it has gone
far toward speedy cure. To prepare the
syrup, slice an onion in tin basin, pour
upon it half teacupful of molasses, or,
what is better, honey; add bit of butter
as large as small chestnut, set the dish in
the oven, and simmer slowly for an hour.
Leave one of the oyen-doors open, so il
will not be too hot.

HE Two Pedestrians

According to the articles of agree
ment," Weston is to reach Chicago by or
| before noon of the 28th instant In the
| event of his succeeding, his hacker, Geo.
K. Goodwin, of New York city, wins
$4,000 of T. f. Wilcox, also of New York.
| This is not Weston's first great walking
match. In 1861 he walked from Boston
TO Washington in ten consecutive days,
averaging fifty. one consecutive miles each
day and beating time handsomely. Mr.
Weston is said to be-, in no sense of
the word, "sporting man" He follows
a regular business but has been very un-
fortunate of late. He Indignantly denies
that there is any collision between him.
self and interested parties, by which they
are to realize handsomely in the event Of
his failure to accomplish the distance Of
one hundred miles in twenty -four consecll-
tive hours during his present journey. In
this trip Weston will pass through ten
States and more than three hundred cities
and towns. q 9IIl&81 e Ga&U53W ssA
The second great pedestrian feat now
being attempted is that of walking from
New York to San Francisco in one hun
dred and fifty days. BY way of the Cen
trial Pacific Railroad the distance is pre-
cisely three thousand three hundred miles
between the two points, so that an average
of twenty-five miles per day will have to
be made. Mr.. Seth WILDER Payne, the
pedestrian, is well known to the public as
an author. He walked over pretty much
all Of Europe some years ago, and upon
his return wrote book of all he saw,
heard and did. The object of his present
trip is precisely the same as was his
European tour, and his limiting himself to
certain length of time was doubtless
feat of distinction. He will take ccpious
notes on his way, which will be published
in book form after his return from San
Francisco.
