GEN. GRANT WANTED.-The Age
says that without any desire to dis
parage General Grant, we ask the sim
pie question, whether in any or all of
the fifteen or twenty biographies that
have been written of him, there is rec
orded single instance in which he
manifested the slightest sympathy for
suffering humanity, where he relieved
pinching want, spoke kindly word to
the widow or the orphan, or III any
manner or form manifested an interest
in the workingman's welfare? Who
ever heard of General Grant visiting
hospital, comforting by his presence
and words the sad hearts of his mutila-
ted soldiers, or conveying to bereaved
wives, mothers ard children, a single
expression of coincidence? Did any
body ever?

FOLIAGE.-The delicate beauty of
the spring foliage of trees has disap-
peared everything 9eeen has deepered
its color and the leaves have expanded
to their full size. Instead of an ex-
quisite delicacy in size and color, the
foliageis rich, heavy and Iuxuriant.
This is the season of natures most
voluptEous growth. There are three
particular periods in the life and death
of foliage each year, in which the leaves
are peculiarly beautiful. The beau
ty Of each period is entirely distinct
from that Of either Of the others. The
first has passed this year--the germ
period the second we have also en-
joyed the third comes with the au-
tumn, the many tinted season. Be
tween each period the time of transition
reminds us of past beauty or suggests
that which is coming.

THE INVISIBLE CANDIDATE.-Grant
is kept completely out of the sight of
the American people. He was switched
off to Galena after his western trip, and
has been kept closely confined to the
house ever since. 1t is said he is not
even permitted to go out into the
streets of Galena, except, when Wash
burne's committee certify that it is en-
tirely safe. A dumb candidate for the
Presidency is bad enough, but an in
visible one is something new TO the
American people.

Do THE white men OF the country
feel able to support the negro popula-
tion of the South? Suppose they are
ignorant-can't read, and know moth
ing of the common rudiments of edu-
cation-are the people of the North
able and willing to eXpend upon these
negroes from forty to fifty millions per
annum in supporting and educating
them? We don't believe they will
submit toit-eSpecially to when it is re-
membered that the Government has
never so supported lrhHe men, and does
not now. Are negroes peculiar pets,
or does this adominable nuisance open
an easy way to public plunder?

Two Radical members of the South
Carolina Legislature-a negro and 4
"carpet-bagger"-had an angry alter
cation. Said the ''carpet-bagger:"
"You iufernal black rascal, you had
better go back to Burns and black
white peoples boots for a living -
The negro re-torted: AN you white
livered scoundrel, you better go back
to Sing Sing, and sarve out your full
premiership at stone cuttin'." Speci-
men bricks, these, of Southern Radi-
cal legislators.

MoNEY.-Men work for it, beg for it,
steal for il, starve for it, and all the
while, from the cradle to the grave,
nature and God are laundering in our
ears the solemn question :-"What
shall it profit man if he gains the
whole world and lose his own soul 20
The madness for money is the strong
est and lowest of passions; it is the in
satiate Moloch of the human heart,
before whose remorseleSs altar all the
finer attributes of humanity are sacri-
feed. 1t makes merchandise of all that
is sacred in the human affections, and
even trafiics in the awful solemnities
of the eternal.

HooFLAND's GERMAN TONIC

is com bination Of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters, with PURE Santa Cruz Rum, Grange, etc. Ii
is used for the same diseases as the Btters in
where some pure alcoholic stimulus IS required.
You viii bear in mind that these remedies are en-
tirey different from any others advertised for the
cure of the diseases named, these being scientific
preparations Of medicinal extracts, while the 9TH
ers are mere decoetions of rum in some form. The
TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies ever offered to the public It's
taste is exquisite tits pleasure to take it, while
its Iife-giving exhilarating, and medicinal quail
ties have caused it to be known the greatest Of

THE NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.-The
Postmaster General has awarded the
contract for the supply of stamps to the
department for the ensuing four years
to the National Bank Note Company
of New York. The new stamps will
be somewhat smaller than those in use
at present, but they are Of a superior
style and finish, with novelty in de-
sign. The two cent stamp contains an
engraving Of post boy on horseback
in full speed. The three cent has
locomotive under fall head of steam,
the great carriers Of our domestic SER
vice. The five cent stamp contains a
head of Washington. The ten cent,
the finest of all in design and eXecu-
ton, has miniature engraving of the
Declaration of Independence, executed
with such deiicacy and precision that
the picture suffers nothing under a
magnifying glass. The twelve cent
stamp has an ocean steamship, and
the thirty cent has a finely executed
engraving of the surrender of Bur-
goyne. When it is considered that
over a million stamps are issued daily
the importance of this contract is at
once evident.

THE GRANT TAX-MHEE..

The Radical tax-mill is great ma
chine. 1t has ground out of the labor
ing masses Of this country fifteen hun
dred millions of dollars during the past
three years. 1t has over two billions
of dollars to grind out Of them yet,
before the poor mans toll is paid, be-
sides the gold toll that is taken from
him yearly as interest on the rich mans
bonds. Into its hopper goes the sweat
and toll and aches and earnings of the
toiling millions; out of it comes bread
for indolent negroes, big pay for thiev-
ing officials, gold interest for bond
holders and riches for treasury robbers.
1t is the people who turn this mill.
They run it to grind up their earnings
to give to others. It's nice machine,
amt it taxpayers. Take hold and
Keen on.
