GKANT.-In nominating Grant for President
the Convention at Chicago to-day simply die
what was expected of them by the great bulk o
the nation, in other words, simply carried out the
will of the people. No man i'm the nation is 81
well fitted la quiet the turbulence of the times
lie is every inch n patriot. He knows no North
NO South, no East, no West-naught but hi,
whole country. lie is to-day the earnest, devoted
friend of the South. In his approaches to then
he steadily carries the olive branch. He is not
only the best but the most potential friend the
South has in the nation, and vet he is as true &c
the interests of the North as the magnet to the
pole. Hence he combines the elements of a great
IaciiicatOr, such as the country is sorely in need
of. The conservative element has worked the
nomination of Grant, and it will not be disap-
pointed in him as President. As we 90 to Press
the telegraph announces the nomination of ColiaS
for Vice Decentralization Paper.
BLOOD WILL TELL.-Grant comes from n sturdy
Scotch stock his ancestors emigrated to America
long before the revolution, and their descendants
fought for liberty in both wars with Great Britain,
and Grant himself fought in Mexico. His genius
genius and skill crushed the rebellion, and with
a stroke of his pen annihilated the recreant John
SON.
Colfax comes from the race that fought in the
wars of the Netherlands, and drove the myrmi-
dons of Philip the Second out of that country and
proclaimed the Dutch Republic. His ancestors,
on his fathers side, emigrated to New Jersey,
and on his mothers side to New York, when
America was first settled. His Grandfathers
were both Generals, Colfax and Schuyler of Rev.
dictionary fame, one a MIaiOr-Gencral and the
other Commander of Washington's Life Guard.
They are both an honor TO their brave ances-
I'll
trust confidcd to them, and to them the people will
look for support in sustaining the pillars ofRepub-
lican liberty.
WAITzING.-Archbishop Spaulding calls atten-
ton to the Pastoral Letter of the late Plenary
Council at Baltimore, in reference TO round"
dances, so dangerous to morals and christian SEN
timent. This Pastoral, signed by the Roman
Catholic Bishops of the United States, has been
approved by the Holy See. 1t warns the people
: especially against those fashionable dances which,
as at present carried on, are revolving to every
feeling of delicacy and propriety, and fraught
with the greatest danger TO morals"
Ullman recently went to Guernsey and called
on Victor Hugo in order to induce him to make Il
lecturing tour in the United States. Victor HUI
go's friends in Paris say that Ullman offered him
500, 0G0 francs for II three months tour, and that
Victor Hugo did not positively reject the offer.
The French lecturers are beyond measure astonish-
ed at the fact that Mr.. Dickens cleared 200 900
francs by his lecturing tour, and We may, there
fore, look for the arrival of quite n number OF
French celebrities.
A Boston man has a toy barometer on exhibi-
ton, which consists of n miniature cottage with
two doors. At one of these stands a man clad in
purple and fine linen, while in the other stands "a
female arrayed in like apparel. If there are signs
of rain the man steps boldly out of doors, while
the woman shrinks into the cottage. But if the
signs are favorable, the woman goes forth to shop
and gossip, while the man stays at home and
tends house and baby.
l never see ennybody yet but what despised bed
bugs. They are the meanest ov awl crawling,
creeping, hopping, OF biting things. They das-

Bed bugs when they have grone aul they intend
to, are about the size of a blue-iay's eye, and have
a brown complexion, and when they start out to

thru garoting they are swelled up like a blister.

eat but twice a day, in the morning and about
