friends who remembered him as a boy.
Old Mr.. Grant had moved here from
Georgetown after his son started to West
Point, and It was from here be. moved to
Covington a few years since. From this
place the Geheral drove the same night to
Batavia, twelve miles, where he spent the
Sabbath with his cousin, formerly Miss
Griffith, now Mrs. Judge Ashburn. The
Sabbath was spent in churCh-going and
pleasant conversation with friends and re-
latiOns.
In the dives from town to town the
General pointed out many old landmarks,
and several times, while driving in the
night, was called upon to decide between
different roads when others of the party
were unable to do so. 4 trait in his char
acter was here displayed which must have
been of iucaleulable service in managing
! large armies. Years had flown since be
| had seen or known anything about this
country, and yet he seemed to remember
| distinctly every path and tree and their
exact location. OF course, he was not
| driven, but he held the reihs in all these
flying trips from place to place, and nat
urally enOugh-and because natural, it is
worth mentiOning-he always watered his
| own horses and attended to their hitchiug
and unhitching. The country in Ohio and
| Kentucky which he visited Is lovely in the
extreme, and there seemed to be genuine
[ enjoyment to the General in travelling
through It. You can imagine the zest with
which he entered into the pleasures of this
] trip when you reflect that but day or two
! before be was surrOunded as none but a
Washington City official is. From Batavia
he drove over, on Monday morning, (the
6th), to the Little Miami Railroad. and in
a few hours was back again with his family
| in CovingtOn. If you will take the trodble
to look at the map, and follow the course
have marked, you will see that General
Grant is as enterprising in his visiting as
he IS in his fighting campaigns.
The party, again united, left COvington,
the evening of the 9Th, and coming over
the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, arrived
at st. Louis, July 7, in the afternoon.
| The citizens of COvingtOn got up a surprise
demonstration for the night Ofthe 9Th, but
so closely had their movements been con-
cealed from General Grant, and so quietly
| did he leave for st. Louis, that neither
| knew the plans of the other, and when the
| hundreds assembled at the home of Mr..
Grant. they found their favorite already
| several hours away. Gen. Grants farm,
to which his little party repaired, is on
the GravOis turnpike, about nine miles
! southwest from st. Louis. It originally
| belonged to William Dent and his child
rem, but the desire of the old gentleman to
see it kept in the hands Of.the family, un-
/ broken, induced all the children to sell
! their interest to General Grant, except a
small portion. It comprises 1,04O acres,
| lying beautifully, and is rich for agricul-
] tural purposes. The principal house is on
! the GravOis road, and has been built some
years. It is cottage of the Gothic order,
and is situated in a beautiful natural
grove, with very picturesque surroundings.

No better means to make ones goods,
wares, and merchandise and their particu-
lar merits known 10 the world, has ever
been discovered than through the medium
of newspapers. Whether commercial, pO-
litical, literary. religious, of whatever sect,
party, or authorship, all have their circu-
latiOn and influence. How many success
full business men could be enumerated who
owe their high pecuniary position to Hd-
vertising alone! How many plucky firms
are taking the lead, monOpOlizing certain
lines Of business, simply by judici0us ad-
vertising! There is not in existence an
article ofvalue that is not worth publish
ing to the world.
We have now in mind one firm of which
we can speak with certainty. We refer to
the house of J. R. Barrett & Co., of this
city, the gentlemanly and popular propri-
etOrs of that indispensable article known
as "Barrett's Vegetable Hair Restorative"
Two years ago this preparation was scarce
" known outside Of this section; to-day
there is not a city, town, or borough this
side of the Pacific, where this excellent
"Renewer'' is not known and appreciated.
and is, we learn, rapidly supplanting all
others. To be sure, this preparation pos
sesses real merit, and is far removed from
the thousands Of vile nostrums which con-
stantly flood every market. It also re-
ceived the endorsement of the Agricultu-
raj Society in 1866 which awarded its
highest premium ever given in the line Of
patent remedies. Yet "Barrett's Hair Re
storative" owes its success and present pO-
sition in a great degree to advertising.
Manufacturers and proprietOrs Of any
article of merit should not fail to resort to
timely and iudicious advertising, that they
NAV not only reap its benefits, but at the
same time confer a priceless gift upon the
community at large by the introduction Of
their happy and valuable discoveries

Miscellaneous.
Leaving the Foul Party.

No stronger proof of the disgust,
with which the nominations of Sey-
mour and Blair are received by many
of the Democracy, is to be found than
in the readiness with which they are
coming out for Grant and COlfaX.
From all parts of the country we hear
of their flOcking into the Republican
camp and signifying their intention
to do battle for the Republican nOmi-
uees. Only few days ago, the Bea-
con, published at Auburn, Maine, con-
tanned an account of seventy five Dem
Ocrats coming in q body into a
Republican caucus, and announcing
their intention to work for, and vote
with the Republican party hereafter.
These men were mostly war Demo
Gratis. They had supported Grant,
when in the field, and some of them
had served in the army. With such
a record they could not endure the
unscrupuIous and systematic TRADE OF
abuse and misrepresentation against
Grant and Colfax, which the DemOc-
racy are engaged in, and so they de-
termined ''to come out from the foul
party'' and cast their fortunes with
the party of patriotism and progress.
We have another account from Rock
ford, ILL.,, which states that upward
of a hundred Democrats majority
of them Fenians-took part in the Re
publican primary elections in that
city, last week, and pledged themselves
to vote for Grant and COlfaX.
And thus it is all over the country.
At a Grant ratification meeting in
Watertown, Mass, recently, General
John L. Swift, who had been training
with the Democracy for some time
past, came forward and asked to be
taken back into the Republican
party, and said that he meant to stick
this time. In the same way the Hon.
J. w. Gordon, of Indianapolis, un-
able to swallow the Seymour Blair
prescription, comes back, after some
years of wandering in the by-ways of
Democracy. and declares that he will
vote for Grant and COlfax.
The Hon. David Kilgore, former
ly representative in Congress from In
diana, and during the past three years
warm supporter of the President,
has repudiated the Democratic nOmi-
nations, and will take the stump for
Grant and Colfax. The Hon. Thomas
N. Stilwell, of tho same State, in 49,
Sc a member of the johnson Congress
iOnal Committee, has also declared his
intention to support the Republican
nominees. Ii is confidently stated
that General John A. Dix, now
American minister at Paris, is one of
the thousands OF War Democrats who,
in refusing to support Seymour and
Blair, will heartily sustain Grant and
COlfaX.

meree, and is the basis made for reg
ulating the values of material things.
There are such words in our language
as honesty, honor, truth, love, benev-
olence, virtue, and they mean some
thing, certainly. The better nature
ofany one, ifit is not all clean gone
out of his heart, will tell him that
their value is beyond all price. Why,
then, is an attempt made to estimate
them in gold and silver? Why are
they thrown upon the market as ar
ticles oftrade? Honesty and truth,
instead of being looked upon as going
to make Up the chief good, are de-
graded into 4 mere law of commerce.
Most men are honest and truthful, not
because the exercise of those virtues
will make them better, but because it
will make their business better.
If neither blood nor wealth con-
tains the elements of true AristOcra-
cy, both of them combined cannot.
We must therefore look elsewhere for
these qualities. Fortunately we do
not have to look far. There is but
one other source left from which they
can proceed, and that is found in
moral and intellectual development.
Strip a man of his wealth, his titles,
his honors, his connections, as Job
was stripped, and let him stand out
alone; judge him now, with your eyes
no longer dazzled by gaudy splendor;
and if, like the tree before the storm,
he meekly bends but breaks not, you
may call him genuine. And if when
thus stripped there is still left man
hood enough to command respect and
reverence, he is the true AriatOcrGt.
Grant him wealth, and place, and
power, and they well become him.
His honors sit gracefully upon his
head. He is what God intended
every man should be-a nobleman.

JEFF. Davis.

A Montreal dispatch received to-day,
says: "By his fall from a stairway the
other day, Jefferson Davis was much in
jured, three of his ribs being broken. He
is doing we'll now"
We don't know whether this is a new
tumble or the old one. It would seem that
JEFF, is abandoned. The places where he
stays repel him. The stair was safe enough
for other persons, but like Heart Leap
well. something ails it now; the spot is
cursed" If Davis falls down the heights
of Abraham, or into the st. Lawrence riv-
er, nobody need be surprised.-[ Bingham

The United Brethren and MoraVlans
mum her about 1900, the UniversaIists
600, 900, and the Q1akers, Orthodox $4,000,
Hicksite 40, 900, which, added to the above
list, give us grand total of all denomi-
nations IN the United States of 9,412, 400,
giving to Protestants of all denominations
a majority of !, 1,412,4 400.
1t will be observed that the number OF
Catholics is much greater in proportion to
the number of churches, than that of any
other denomination, owing to the fact that
they are as yet confined to a great extent
to the cities and larger towns; but as they
are now extending their operations in diff
ferent channels, expending vast sums OF
money in the erection Of Churches and the
establishment of Schools in this country,
we may expect to see the number of their
churches largely increased in a few years,
They are drawing large sums of money
from ths old countries annually for this
purpose.
The superiority of their Schools induces
many Protestant families to send their
children to them, and they are proselyting
their thousands in this way. Through
their splendid system of bestowing chari-
ties, as well as by their devotion, they are
winning golden opinions among the non
protesting classes, and by the thousand
graceful insinuations known only to
Jesuits, they are gaining favor in the eyes
of the people.
By emigration, also, their numbers are
largely increased every year. About one
half of the foreign emigration to this coun-
try being Catholics, from this source alone
they will receive sufficient strength to
make them equal in numbers to all other
denominations within five years.
Again, to those who are paying any at
tention to Catholic movements, there is
unmistakable evidence that they are con.
templsting the transfer of the Pope to this
continent, at no very distant day. Indeed
the Pope has issued the bull which cou-
vokes a General Council at Rome, for the
sth of December, 1869, at which every
Bishop of the Church, either in person OF
by proxy, is to be present. The relation OF
the Church to Existing State Governments
and modern Civilization is to engage a
prominent share of the Councils attention.
The relation of the church with existing
State governments is more satisfactory to
Catholics in almost every country in the
world than in ours, and it is hardly to be
supposed that with four million Catholics
in the U. s., the Church is Indifferent
Upon the subject of uniting Church and
State in this country.
The march of empire and civilization
has ever been westward, and it may be
that the Council of December 8th, 1869,
will take the first steps for the transfer of
the Pope to this country. Following this
transfer there will be an influx of two or
three millions of Catholics, which, with
the natural increase until that time, will
give them a majority Of about three
millions over all other sects.
These events may, and probably will,
take place within the next ten years.
That the final conflict between Catholi-
cism and Professionalism will take place in
this country, is put almost beyond the
possibility Of doubt. PAR ACCES.
