A BROTHER OF GENERAL GRANT.

Orvil L. Grant is younger brother
of the General, and in appearance bears
a striking resemblance to the famous
chieftain. He is reticent, :and can sell
dom be drawn into heightened con-
versation, but when he speaks, especial
ly concerning his own line of business,
every detail of which he understands
thoroughly, his remarks are pithy and
pointed, and evince self-reliance and
observation-disclosures in remarkable de-
gree. He is very fond of fast horses,
and enjoys the reputation of being an
excellent ''whip." Mr. Grant is thor
ough American, go-ahead, active bu-
siness man; he is proud of Ulysses,
and thinks him credit to the family,
but is determined that his relationship
to so great person shall not .overshad-
ow or obscure his own individuality

i NEW ooNvEsr.

A jolly party Of our citizens, says the
Great Falls (New Hampshire) Journal,
went on fishing excursion last week,
and as they were most of Democratic
tendencies, concluded to attend tho
Democratic county Convention on the
way to the ponds, thereby economizing
time and money, New one of the fish
ermen, whom we win call Smith, was 3
square Republican, and went only for
the fishing and not the politics. BIS
comrade, whom we will call Jones, on
the way to Rochester, threatened to
publish him as a full delegate to the
Democratic Convention. Smith says,
s'No you don't. Jones says, Hanged
if DON'T
The Convention being over and the
party arrived at the pond, Smith and
Jones By themselves, started upon the
ice-Smith ahead, Jones behind-when,
unfortunately, Jones pumped into an
air-hole and stuck firmly in the mud
below.
s'Hullo, Smith, I'm in-help me out"
cries Jones.
"Ha, ha, ha," laughed Smith.
"What are, yon laughing for, you
fool?
"Help me out, don't yon see I'm
freezing ~ said Jones earnestly.
s'Jones, my boy, will you vote the
Republican ticket next March z" said
Smith seriously.
'No sir, I'll die in the Democratic
faith" said Jones firmly.
s.Wel" said Smith, ats my duty to
strengthen my party. What do you
want me to say to your family?"
sCome, come, stop fooling and help
me out" said Jones, emphatically.
''Duty before pleasure" said Smith,
coolly sitting down on the ice.
Poor Jones struggled and pushed, but
the harder he pushed the deeper he
sunk.
The cold, cold water had filed his
vest pockets, and then his watch pock-
ct, and was now beginning to trickle
down over his buttoned vest.
ssFor Gods sake Smith, are you go-
ing to sit there and see me die 2" Shrek
ed he.
my dear boy, will you vote the Re-
publican ticket next March 2" said Smith
solemny.
| Jones hesitated-but the water was
bubbling about his chin, and an anxious
look at the countenance of Smith COM
WINGED him that there was no show, and
he said:
tSmith, if you'll only help me out, m
vote the Republican ticket in the spring
and for Grant in the Falll"
"Agreed" said Smith, enthusiastically,
and he pulled with such alacrity that
Jones was out in jify. A rousing
fire was built, and Jones was soon dried
and warmed, inside and ont.

spiritual help in the performance Of

spiritual help in the performance of
these manifestations. Several reporters
having pronounced magnetism and cleo
tricity his assistants, Hartman showed
that everything was based upon me-
chanical ingenuity. The mode of tying
he clearly xplained-plates of which
I hive In my possession, and which can
be found in Letpziger GartenIaube, No.
43, of last year.
/ 1t is arranged in such away that it is
easy to strip the rope off of one hand and
using it in expelling the trumpet, the
bell, or showing it at the opening or
playing with it on the tambourine or
guitar, and is also used to unite the
other hand and legs. It is also easily
adjusted again, SO that the status gao
| ante on the opening of the cabinet is
resumed.
It is somewhat necessary, however,
to use Cthe same as the Davenports) a
new rope, as an old one is not so easily
managed. He then explained he could
show his hands at the opening while
they were filled with flour. I deposited,
he said, the -four in the pockets of my
white vest, and again filed them before
the cabinet was opened. The expert
ments in the dark he explained SINH
larly.
The friend of Hartmann, who is tied
between two gentleman on the platform,
of course does not move at all, but
Hartmann, having his hand or hands
united, strikes the guitar, ETC., lays tho
instrument too far off, he puts the silver
pieces in his pocket, turns the paper
upon which the chair stands over, and
placing himself again Oh the chair,
with pencil he draws an outline of the
feet on the white side of the paper, and
places lastly the silver pieces on his
feet.
The moving of the glittering guitar
over the heads of those .present was
then explained. The gnitar was rubbed
over with phosphorus Hartmann swing
ing it over his head only. This was
not believed by many, as they thought
they had seen it move as high as the
ceiling. He repeated it again before
they were satisfied. 1t was a mere op-
teal delusion, which the darkened room
and glittering phosphorus produced.
So much for this sort of Spiritualism

traced to their natural origin.

THE QUESTION OF LAW.

1ne following As the second para
graph of Section of Article II, of the
Constitution of the United States, in
which it is declared that the President
can make no appointment Or removal
contrary to the advice and consent of
the Senate: "He shall have power, by
and with the advice and consent of the
Senate, to make treaties, provided two
thirds ofthe Senators present concur !:
and he shall nominate, and by and 1cith
the adrice and consent Of the Senate,
shall appoint ambassadors, other pub
lie ministers and consuls, judges of the
Supreme Court, and all other officials of
the United States, whose appointments
are not herein otherwise provided for
and which shall be established by law.
But the Congress may, by law, vest the
appointment of such inferior offices as
they think proper, IN the President,
alone, in the Courts of law, or in the
heads of departments"
Here the Constitution itself distinctly
provides that the consent of the Senate
is necessary to make the Presidents APP
pointments legal; that clause is again
confirmed by the authority given to
Congress to allow the President to make
appointments on his own responsibility.
We do not see what appeal Andrew
johnson can now make to the Consti-
tuition. His claim that the Constitution
allows him to remove an officer abso-
lutely, cannot be reconciled with the
fact that it forbids him to appoint any
one, EVEN al interim. If he possesses
the one power and not the other, then
the section quoted is an absurdity-for
it would provide for direct conflict
of authority! 1--WE have said that it is
an established principle in law that in
the Interpretation of a statute the inten-
ton of the legislature shall be consid-
cred. Nothing can be clearer than that
the intention here is to give Congress
authority over the removals as well as
the appointments of the Presid, mt.
In addition to this, the Constitution
(Article 1, Section s. gives Congress
power " to make all laws which shall be
necessary and proper for carrying into
execution the foregoing powers, and all
other powers vested by this Constitu-
ton in the Government of the United
States, or in any department or officer
thereof" The tenure OF Office act
which forbids the removal of the heads
of departments without the consent OF
the Senate, simply carries out the prin-
ciple of the section of the Constitution
quoted. Mr.. johnson has therefore, tc
prove two things to prove that he car
remove Mr.. Stanton-frst, that the
Constitution reserves to him the RICH
of irresponsible removal, while denying
him the right of irresponsible appoint
ment; second, that the Constitution
does not authorize the passage of suei
law as the tenure of Office act. AnC
even if Mr.. johnson could prove this
he would still be guilty of an impeach
able offense. For he has assumed tn,

MONSTER BELLS OF THE WoRLD.-1n
making large bells, loudness, rather than
their pitch, is the object, as their sound
can be conveyed to a much greater dis
lance. This accounts for the enormous
weight of some of the largest bells. st.
Pauls, for instance, weighs $4,000
pounds that of Antwerp 10000 pounds;
Oxford, 1900 pounds; Rome, $4,000
pounds; Mechlin, 10000 pounds; Bru-
ges. $4,000 pounds; York, $4,000
pounds Cologne, $4,000 pounds; Mon
treal, 10000 pounds; Erfurt, 10000
pounds Big Ben blouse of Parliament,)
1000 pounds Sens, $4,000 pounds; vi
emma, 10000 pounds; Novgorod, $4,000
pounds Pekin, 10000 pounds and that
of Moscow al, 900 -poun is. But, as
yet, the greatest bell ever Known is an
other famous Moscow be Il, which was
never hung. 1t was cast by order of
the Empress Anne, in 1868. 1t lies bro
ken on the ground, and Estimated to
weigh AL, 772 pounds. 1t is nineteen
feet high, and measures around the mar
gin sixty-four feet. There are few bells
of interest in the United States. The
largest is probably the alarm bell on
the City Hall in New York, weighing
about $4,000 pounds. AS the Russians
make pilgrimages to the great Moscow
bell, and regard it with superstitious
yeneration, so the American citizen hon.
ors and venerates the old Independence
bell at Philadelphia, for he is not only
reminded of the glory of the Revolu-
ton, but he believes now more than
ever, since its injunction has been obey
