THE PRESIDENT ELEcT.-General Grant

THE PRESIDENT ELEcT.-General Grant
was at his headquarters, as usual, yesterday,
engaged in the transaction Of official bust
ness. A considerable portion of his time
was taken up during the day, however, in
receiving the calls of number of prorni-
nent visitors, among whom were Speaker
Colfax, Secretary of War General Schofeld,
Senator Morgan, and Generals Terry, Geo.
H. Thomas, Humphreys, Emory and Candy
During the afternoon he dropped in on his
friend General F. +. Swimmer, United States
Treasurer, with whom he spent some time
in social intercourse. Later in the day he
entertained Speaker Colfax, Vice President
elect, to dinner at his residence, on New
Jersey avenue. During the evening he was
visited BY number of gentlemen, who ex-
tended the usual coDgratul. tons. His
Western visit has greatly improved the Cen
eral, and he is looking remarkably well.-l

How CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS VOTED.
The able Boston correspondent of the Sacra-
mento Union tells the following:
A funny thing happened at Quincy-the
home of the Adams family-which, by the
way, repudiated John Quincy, the Democra-
tic candidate for Governor, for whom it gave
majority last year c. F. Adams, late
Minister to England, deposited in the ballot
box receipted bill instead of ballot. On
discovering his mistake he returned to the
polls, withdrew the bill, and substituted
ballot for Grant and Colfax and the Democrat
tic State ticket. There had been considerable
curiosity as to his vote which was thus allay-
ed. A somewhat similar incident happened
at Lynn. A wel'-known expressman who had
been very reticent as to his political prefer
ences, put into the box. by mistake, freight
bill, and did not discover his mistake until
he delivered some merchandise and found no
bill thereof. He returned to the polls and
desired to vote again, but was not permitted
to do SO,

LOCATION OF THE WHITE PINE DISTRICT.
A correspondent of the San Francisco Alta
says:
The White Pine Mountain and group of
parallel hills comprised within the White
Pine District. are situated on the southern
boundary of Lander county, Nevada, (possi-
bly, extending partially over the line into Nye
county,, l20 miles 10y the road) in a south
eastern direction from Austin, and about 720
miles from San Francisco by the route now
travelled. As near as can be ascertained, in
the absence Of complete surveys, they are
located in the latitude 800 TO- north, and
longitude $50 30 west. The principal mires
ION the summit of Treasure Hill are sup
posed to be at an altitude of about 5000 feet
lbove the level of the sea.

THE FUTURE OF WHITE PINE.

THE MOTHER OF SCHUYLER CoLFAx.-
Mrs. Matthews, the mother of the Vice
President elect, has been for several week:
stopping with her friends in this city.
Like the mothers Ct nearly all our great
men, she is nob'e woman, of great intel
lectual power. Mr.. Colfax owes much OF
his success to his mother, and he fully ap-
preciates it. She is remarkably hale and
happy old lady, and rejoices in quiet way
over the success of her son.
Her only desire for his advancement seems
to be that he may be placed in position to
do more good. At the age of fifteen she
was married to Schuyler Colfax the elder
At the age of seventeen she was left a
widow, with one child. Four months after
the death of his father, Schuyler was born
the elder child died in infancy.
Some years later Mrs. Colfax was mar
ried to Mr.. Matthews. Nearly thirty years
ago the young couple, with little Schuyler
and other children that had been born to
them. removed to New Carlisle, Lapor.e
county, Indiana.
Since the death OF the wife of Schuyler
Colfax, his mother has presided over his
home in Washington, with grace and dig
lieved from the duties of the position by
come the wife of the Vice President before
the end of the present month. Mrs. Mat
thews, we are informed, will continue her
with her son in Washington. May
she live for many years to give him wise |
counsel, and grace the society OF the capital. |

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

That wheat is very low and without
any immediate prospect Of rise is uni
versally known. but what the cause Is
does not seem to be generally SO well un-
derstood. Some lay it to one thing and
some to another, one says politics gov
ems it, and another thinks the specula
tors keep the price down. To our way
of thinking none of these causes control
the NATTER but simply the law of supply
and demand The past season every
farmer raised ali the whea: he possibly
could. There was plenty of wheat in the
country last spring, but fearing poor
crop the price was kept w. The crop
instead of being poor turned out one of
the best we have ever had in this coun-
try, and the large amount sown made the
crop immense. Ordinarily we have far
more wheat than we can use and we shin
our surplus to Europe, but this wear tho
crop IN Europe Is nearly "a third larger
than usual. and hence that market is of6t.

larger than the demand, hence the low
price. And though we hope for better
things, there does not seem much chance
for material advancement before next

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT FIRE.-At his
season of the year there is great danger
| from fire An eastern superintendent OF
| Fire Department has issued, had printed
and posted up where they can be read,
some suggestions about fire-or rather
for preventing fires. They are suitable
for any locality and we appropriated few
| Of them.
Keep matches in metal boxes.
Do not deposit ashes in wooden ives
sells.
Never place lighted candle or lamp or
ashes under IA stairway.
Be careful not to place light near
curtains.
Never take light into closet.
Place glass shades oyer gas lights in
show windows, and do not crowd goods
near them.
No smoking should be permitted in
warehouses, particularly where goods are
packed.
When furnaces are used, the prin-
| cipal register should always be fastened
open.
Stove pipes should be at least four
inches from wood work, and guarded by
in.
All hatchways or openings in the floors
of stores, factories or warehouses should
be closed at night.
All iron doors between stores should be
closed At night or when not in use.
A little attention to these suggestions
will save much damage by fire.

1t is strange to see with what carless-

They will procure box of Plantatio

a month or six weeks and upon inquiry
it is found that they used only two or
