The New York Tribune on the Nolnin-
atoms.

II was not necessary to hold a
convention TO designate the Repub,
lican candidate for President. The
people have already decided that
they would vote for Ulysses S.
Grant, and nobody else. We tried
for while to persuade them that
they could do better, but they would
not hear us. The nomination of
Gen. Grant by every delegate from
every State and Territory comprised
within the boundaries of our Union
was simple proclamation of what
the masses had decided. The wild
enthusiasm wherewith his name was
hailed will roll irrepressibIy from
the Bay of Fundy to the Pacific
Apart from all politics and parties,
the people are for Grant and his
vote will far exceed that of the most
popular candidate for Governor,
Congress, &c, who may be run on
the same ticket. We predict that
both his electoral and popular ma
lorities will exceed those of Lincoln
over Mcclellan.
Those who would fain make believe
that the soldiers who fought gallant.
ly for the Union are not heartily for
Grant, deceive none-not even them
selves. Should Hancock be the Dem
ocratic nominee, he may possibly
poll one tenth OF the votes of the
Union Volunteers with nine tenths
of that cast by their paroled prisons
ers who fought for secession but,
as a peace Democrat, we believe that
Grant will make nearly a clean sweep
of the Unions defenders. Quite a
number may still expect to oppose
him on partizan grounds but, long
before the campaign is ended, the
foolish calumnies Of his ASSISTANTS
will ilupell them to "yote as they
shot" As the we'll remembered long
roll is sounded in their cars, they
cannot resist the soldierly impulse to
sfali in"
Gen. Grant will receive more
votes from reconstructed Rebels
than could be obtained for any other
man who fought gallantly, success
fully for the Union. Faithfully to
bis country and her flag, he was ever
magnanimous foe ; and no man is
more anxious than he that the bloody,
hateful past should be speedily OBJ
scured by genuine fraternity and
mutual good will. He fought, not
"a degrade and destroy, bnt to ex-
alt aid to save. There is no other
American in whom all interests and
all sections cherish so profound
trust as in Ulysses s Grant
Hence, the strength tvinced by the
Republicans in Intermediates local
contests will be no measure, no test.
of that which will be developed
when the people come to vote con
sciously for him.

THE Civil SERVICE BILL AND THE
VICE PREslDENcY.-Ihe Civil Ser
vice bill, now before Congress, pro-
poses to make the Vice President
the head of the new department of
the government, which is TO examine
candidates for office and pronounce
upon their qualifications. At pres
ent the Vice President of the United
States, having no duties except to
preside over legislative body in
which be has no voice or influence,
is the most useless functionary of the
government mere clumsy super
numerary, deriving his only impor>
lance from bis liability to become
the most important officer in the re-
public. The Civil Service bill will
add dignity and usefulness to the
second officer OF the government, as
the functions he will be called upon
to perform are very important, and
will require in themselves high or
der of abilities. This in itself would
lead to more care in the selection of
Vice President, which---as our late
experiences have proven, to the ma
TONS sorrows a matter that has
been very much neglected in the
past. 1t is to be hoped the bill will
become d law.

An Interesting Document.

Sometime after the passage by the
United States Senate and House of
Representatives of the Amendment
60 tho Constitution which abolished
the institution of slavery, the Hon.
Godlove S. 0rth, of Indiana. conceiv-
ed the project Of getting the sigma
ture of every Senator and Represen-
tative who had voted for the amend,
ment asa decumentzte keep for his
own satisfaction and as an heir-l0om
in bis family. To this end no caus.
ed draft of the article to be made
upon parchment, and personally Sc
cured the autograph of all the mem
bers OF Congress who had voted in
favor of the amendment, of the clerks
of both Houses, and of the President
and Vice President. Several of his
Indiana friends, who saw the docus
ment, regarded it as matter of too
general an interest tor 50 exclusive
an enjoyment, and obtained the own,
er's consent to havoit engraved.
The task was given TO the West,
ern Bank Note and Engraving Cons
pany, of Chicago, and the result,
which is now before US. shows that
the choice was a judicious one. 1t
IS steel engraving, giving fac slmates
OF the signatures as they appeared
on the original document, following
the two sections of the article EN-.
bodying the amendment, together
with the approval OF the President,
etc.
1t was thought desirable that an
appropriate vignette should be put
upon it as engraved, and u design
was made by the Western Bank Note
ard Engraving Co., which has been
beautifully executed and forms u
part OF the document. 1t represents
u negro woman with her little child
reading at her feet. while her hns-
band sits opposite, holdinga medal~
lion of the late President Lincoln,
prominently brought out, while in
the back ground the Angel of Peace
points to the Capitol in the distance,
and rainbow breaks through the
sky. There was never . more del>
cate piece of work done on steel. and
it is equally creditable to designer
and engraver.
The whole document is executed
on steel plate, the geometrieal
laitb work forming a handsome bor>
der, the monogram ~. s. ornament
Ing the corners and, back of the
as if o part of the paper,

and the words Amendment to the

Two Meals a Day.

If any man or woman of forty. FIVE
or over, not engaged in hard natural
labor, especially the studious, sed.
entary and indoor livers, would
take but two meals a day for one
month, the second not being later
than three in the afternoon, and abb
solutely nothing afterwards, except
it might be in some cases an orange
or lemon, or cup of warm drink,
such as tea, broma, sugarswater, or
ice cream, there would be such
change for the better in the way of
sound sleep, {. feeling on awaking Of
having rested, an APPETITE for break
fast, buoyancy of disposition dn-
ring the dsy, with geniality of tenn.
per and manner, that few, exceptthe
animal and the glutton, would BIZ
willing to go back to the flesh pots
OF Egypt. aa
sBen. Wade,n as be is Familiarity
called. one of the political lions of
the West, has taken but two meals
day for twenty years; and it all sed-
entary persons, those who are in~
doors a greater part of the time,
would, after the age of forty~five, oh.
serve the same infiexible rule, there
can be no doubt, other things being
equal, that long years of happy ex,
emption from the ordinary ills of life
wonld be the result. The reason is
that the stomach would have time to
rest, for recuperation, and would
thus be able to perform its part more
thoroughly, making purer blood,
giving better sleep and securing
better appetite for breakfast. Let
any man try it for ten days, taking
the second meal seven hours after
the first, and abandon the practice if
he ean.-HaWs journal Of Health.

reference to cure for his bald head

A friend of mine who had the mis-.
fortune to be bald ,headed, knowing
that there is wonderful invigorat.

spring threw away his hat, and work

the first few days at midday. For
few days the rays OF the hot sun on
his head were almest uncomfortable !;
after that time he experienced no un-

that in the fall he had good head of
hair. And in this experiment he was
not alone--sever&, Of his acquaintan

followed the same plan, they were all
fortunate enough TO experience the
