GRANT ANALYZED.

A. D. Richardson, in the following
life of Grant, says:
Some still see in him only the darling
of fortune-energetic mediocrity, which
has Numbered into success. L think
such are misled by two of his peculiar
qualities:
/. His ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. When he
has nothing to say, he says nothing. In
private he fills no interstices OF CONVEX
sation by remarks upon the weather,
or injuries after the babies of his Wis
itor. In public he can make no speech
es simply of form or compliment; and
since the world cared to hear his opin-
ions on affairs, his official position has
never allowed him to speak freely. But
in public or private. when he has any
thing to utter by tongue or pen, he says
it with extreme rapidity and clearness,
in terse, marrowy, idiomatic English.
Even then he clothes his thoughts in no
flowers of rhetoric, but presents them
in the plainest. honeliest words. Ma
poleon's memorable sayings are all OF
| this order. From these SUBMITS forty
centuries look down upon YOU" I'VE
will carry our victorious eagles beyond
the pillars of Hercules. Grants are
the exact antipodes Il have no terms

Gen. Butler was bottled up. said

| American, to his shouting men after
! Port Gibson: ''Soldiers, L thank you
That is all L can say. You have done
| good days work to-day, but you must
| do a better one tomorrow" No shin
ing rhetoric, no poetic CUISINES; only the
simple unadorned fact.
III. He is the most undramatic OF
men. Scott was nicknanred by his enc

KANSAS AND STOCK RAISING.

1t is daily becoming more evident
that Kansas, as a farming and stock
raising State, has few if any superiors
Apprehensions of drouths, and other
such like impediments to the success OF
the above callings, are quite done away
with, through the experiences OF the
past few years. Danger to crops, re-
sulting from the above cause, are now
conceded to be as distantly removed in
Kansas as in any other State OF the
Union. We know the contrary impress
sion too often exists in the East, yet
the statement nevertheless is true; and
the citizens of Kansas should, by let.
tiers and otherwise, seek to correct this
false impression, which has obtained
quite too largely i'll that section.
In the matter of stock raising, rail
road facilities have given US convent
tent, ready and sure markat. For IN.
stance, Mr.. f. G.. Buckley, living ii
Salt Creek Valley, gentlemen who
has been giving his attention largely to
stock raising, has sold all his stock thu:
far in New York City. Purchasing 8
thousand head of indifferent cattle las
fall he has since made three shipments
of cattle, as follows:
First lot. 70 head. averaged 1755L poun dis
Second LOT. so do averaged 144l do
Third lot. AZ do. averaged 1913 do
All the cattle shipped thus far by Mr.
Buckley have been under four years o
age. The last shipment was made yes
terday. As will be seen from the abov'
table, the average is immense. Hi
fiattcring success should inspire on
| farmers with confidence in stock rails
| ing, and resolves to emulate his exam
pie and efforts. A little energy, though
and care, may shortly make of kansa:
great stock growing, and hence ricl
and prosperous State.-Learencort

COLORADO.

The first exploration of the Rocky
Mountains and into the valley of the
South Platte dates as far back as l543-4.
As the results OF this Spanish expedl-
ton never led to any efforts on their
part to colonize any portion of the vast
region north of the Arkansas, we can
only add that it first gave TO the Old
world some knowledge of the great
plains of the Missouri, and of the great
nerds of buffalo which foamed over
them and supplied the ancestors OF the
present Indian tribes Of East Colorado.
The later explorations of Pike in
1867, of Major Long in Io20-2I, ana
of Fremont III 1871, gave US all we
could expect from such rapid, cnrsofy

GEARY's OPINION OF GEN. GRANT.

The National Union of Philadelphia,
on Friday evening, held the first of 3
series of weekly meetings, to be contin-
ued during the campaign. They We're
addressed by Ex-Governor Geary. He
said that the ticket adopted at Chicago
had not been excelled since the days of
Washington, but he urged upon his
hearers the necessity for vigorous work
during the campaign, as the party has q
willy foe to contend with. OF General
Grant he said:
General Grant has been placed on
the ticket for the highest position known
to the American people, and he is well
deserving of it. 1t has been my pro-
vince to know him for twenty-one years.
We were both young men together in
the Mexican war. He the same endur-
ing hero then as he proved himself to be
in the late rebellion. l knew him when
a Second Lieutenant, when Moline del
Rev proved there was more stuff in him
than apparent upon the surface. He
was brevetted as q First Lieutenant
there for gallantry. He left some time
afterward for home, but not before he
had been made Captain. We, as Penn
sylvanians, have something to say of
him. His father was from old West

nativity. | have often stood on the
ground where he was born. / know
Grant well. 1t was my good fortune to
serve under him in the war just closed.

man. [Applause.] He first directed tho

| thing strong upon the table. ] never
knew him to touch spirits of any kind.
/ believe there is no max who has been
more ungenerously treated on that sub
ject during the last few months than
Grant.
Cn a certain occasion, when dining
with Grant at Chattanooga, after the
cloth had been removed he called for his
maps, which he spread before me, and
said: Sir, you and your division have
been instrumental in obtaining the VIE
tories around this city. The plan for
the next campaign is already formed,
and il is proper that ,~oss -sl.o.-1d laaexrr

around this place, and pour them on At

will be taken for the sea shore, ending
either at Charleston or Savannah and
having thus made our point, we will en-
! ter the Carolinas and attack Richmond.
This was in 1868, nine months before the
city of Atlanta was taken. Justice
should be done, and L tell you SO that
you will know who it was that planned
the march to the sea, and bisected the
Confederacy and brought the rebellion

impression, not of exhausted. but of
bouyant, progressive, patient power,
equal to profounder demand and higher

to fill a national Office, because i'll the

people, it is impossible for him TO be

1t is time to take broader view. How
puerile is the self-assertion OF any one
state when it attempts to claim as Its

within its precincts, whose name ano

No WHIsKEY.-A correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette says that Mr..
Colfax's canvass was managed on strict
temperance principles. He adds: -
"For a marvel in such affairs, it was
observed that not drop of liquor of
any kind was to be had around the
headquarters of the Indiana candidate.
1t will be good thing if the result shall
help to Danish the not very creditable
practice of urging each candidates
claims over great array of bottles. The
unlimited supply of free whiskey at the
Wade quarters did quite as much harm
as good, and the same may be said of
similar displays by the first friends of
other candidates." ssfA
The same thing was observed in Mr..
Colfax's canvass for the Speakership;
when he was first elected to that office
not drop of ardent spirits of any
kind was to be obtained in his room.
Mr.. Colfax deserves the thanks of the
country for thus standing true to his
temperance principles in circumstances
of strong temptation to at least tempo
rarily cast them aside.
