General Grant accepts atthe hands Of
the rovolutionists of the Rump these
powers usurpcd from the Executive and
usurpcd from the Judiciary, he will
have deprived the country and Con-
gress itself of the only guarantee
which It is possible for him TO give,
that he will not refuse TO lay them

Grant. Ten times more than the
founders of our government dreaded
from the open or secret inonarchsts
of 1888, these Revolutionists have ac-
tually accomplished by affirmative le-
gislation towards breaking down the
safeguards of Republican selfgovern-
ment But the attempts which were
frustrated then have less prospect OF
final success now. Generation after
generation has enjoyed the blessings
of liberty, learned to use and prize
them, and transmitted them TO theiI
children. The people of 1868 have
come into that great inheritance, and
will not long be dispossessed of it.
Nor will those who have left their ma
tive lands to share it with us, whom
sharing does not impoverish, consent
to see the sacrifice of their right and
our birthright.
The people of the United State, be
it known to these revolutionists of the
Rump, regard the form of their gov

division of its granted powers, as the

\ PARTICULAR FAEMER.-Last sum-
mer a party of ladies and gentlemen,
spending the season at Rye Beach, n.
H., went on a picnic to Exeter. After a
gala day of fun and frolic, they packed
up their baskets for a return, and found
quite a large quantity of edibles unde-
voured, which it seemed pity to waste.
But, strange to say, there are no paupers
in that part of the country, and the farm
ers are quite too independent to be made
objects of such tavors; SO there seemed
no disposition to be made of the viands
but to make an offering TO some very ap-
preciative-loooking pigs that were making
their wants quite audible in neighboring
pen. Accordingly one of the gentlemen
was about disposing of the remnants in
this way, when he was saluted, to his as
tonishment, by the owner, with " Holloo
say, stranger, what are you doing there ?"
His charitable purpose being explained,
our friend was about to execute it, when
he was interrupted & Wall, l rayther
guess | wouldn't, stranger; we're purity
particular about our pigs" 1t is needless
to say that the entire party, with all their
commissary department, made an abrupt
and mastery retreat to Rye; and the sub
iect of pork has ever since been very
sore one.

4 correspondent of the Boston Tran

\ correspondent of the Boston Tran
script writes as follows from Michigan
Since [ left New York, the one question
that has preyed upon my mind is this;
What has become of the hens?' [ have
not seen an egg on any hotel table or in
any hotel larder or in any of those outrages
on the human stomach which, with bit
ter irony, are styled Railroad Refresh
ment Rooms 1t is very doubtful if even
Agassiz himself could now find an egg
west of the Alleghanies. The hens are
evidently all dead and it is melancholy
to think that, on the Darwinian theory, so
useful an animal should have succumbed
in the western struggle for existence

ORIGIN OF THE WORD FLIRT.-This
mythical word, which has never received
a clear definition through its attempted in
terpreters, originated in the time of the
French King Louis the fourteenth. The
gallants of the court acquired habit of
addressing their girlish friends as ''ma
fleurette," or " my little flower" The
noun ' fieurette finally grew into verb,
and the term "fleuretter une domisclle
was used in speaking of attractions paid
to beauty After the importation of
" fieuretter " to England it degenerated to
" feuter," and finally to firt" So say
the authorities.

AFRICAN WoMEN-Mr. Du Chaillu, in
his work on the gorilla, thus writes of the
African Women
| shall never forget the kindness of those
native women to me while [ was sick.
Poor souls, they are sadly abused by their
taskmasters. They are the merest slaves.
They have to do all the drudgery. They
receive blows and i'll usage. And yet at
the sight OF suffering their hearts soften,
Just as women's hearts soften in our own
more civilized lands. No sooner did sick
ness attack me than these kind souls came
to nurse and take care of me. They sat
by me to fan me; they brought more mats
for my bed; they bathed my burning
head with cold water; they got me refresh
ing fruits from the woods At night when
awoke from feverish dream, [ used TO
hear their voices, as they sat around in
the darkness, pitying me and contriving
ways to cure me- When | think of these
things cannot help thanking God for them
that wherever | have gone He has made
human hearts tender and kind to me; that
even under the black skin of the benighted
and savage African, He has implanted
something of His own compassionate love.
