/ THE grade of General will not expire
with the resignation of Grapt,as tits an old
grade revived by recent act of Congress.
When Grant resigns there will be vacan-
cy, for which the President can make an
appointment or, not at his discretion. Itis
presumed that President Grant will not
very long delay the appointment OF Gen.
Sherman to that rank. The law does not
contemplate succession as matter of
course; it is discretionary with the Presi-
dent.-Cincin,aati Times.
And ip the exercise of that discretion,
President JOHNSON conferred the rank on
Gen. Grant who subsequently, became his
determined enemy. - El =

Long before the ability to exercise the
functions of the generative organs, they
require AN education of their peculiar
nervousssystem, composed of what is
called the TISSUE which is, in common
with thefemale breast and lips, evident
ly under the control of mental emotions
and associations at an early period of
life; and, as we shallsubsequently see,
these emotions, when excessive, lead,
long before puberty, to habits which sap
the very life of their victims ere nature
has self completed their development.
