this volume published by Harper & Brothers,
are of fearful interest. 1t is well known that
the habit of opium eating is on the increase in
England and parts of the United States. Is
this appalling curse to be fastened upon us?
One thing brought out in this volume is that
the habit is generally formed before the vic
tim is aware Quack medicines often contain
the subtle, fascinating poison, and its work,

have him come out with stately plAtitudes
and make grand display Of flourish. The

He simply tells the people what he means to

unpretending style as Is possible. This don't

we are not.
General Grant says that he accepts the
platform of those who nominated him, and
that he believes II to be wise, moderate and
patriotic. He thinks that 1t expresses the
feelings OF the great mass Of those who sus.
tanned the country through recent trials"
He asserts that he will, II elected, "adminis.

they are not unmsaning generalities.
