A PRECIOUS LOT. The Bedford Gazette
says that y. S. Grant is the man who, in
cold blood, demanded of the War Depart
mcnt that no exchange Of prisoners should
be made, when thousands Of the bravcst
and best Of our brothers and friends were
suffering and dying in Southern prisons. 1t
is eminently fit that he should be supported
by Horace Greeley, the bail Of jeff. Davis,
by Joe Brown, of Georgia, the founder Of
the Andersonrillc prison, by Ben Butler,
the man who assisted in preventing an ex-
change be Stanton, who declared that he
would not exchange healthy rebels for the
skeletons Of Union soldiers, by W. W. Hol-
den, who offered reward to any man who
would assassinate Abraham Lincoln, by
John A. Logan, who tried to raise a regi-
ment in Southern Illinois for service in the
rebellion, but failing sold himself for pair
of epaulcttes, by Bingham, denominated by
Butler the murderer Of an innocent woman
and by all the carpet-baggers and negroes
who are now reaping the fruits Of the suf
ferngs and sacrifices of the soldiers Of the
Union. Grant and his supporters arc
precious lot, truly. How their record ap-
peals to the support Of soldier citizens! 1t
is positively irresistible.
A HARD Hit AT AMERICAN WOMEN
Among Leon Gazlan's posthumous papers
was found an essay on the characteristics Of
women, which will not add to his popularity
among American ladies. Just read this
outrageous paragraph: "a French woman
will love her husband if he is either witty
or chivalrous German woman, if he is
constant and faithful Dutch woman, If
he does not disturb her ease and comfort too
much; a Spanish woman, if he wreaks ter
rible vengeance on those who are under her
displcasure; an Italian woman, if he is
dreamy and poetical; Danish woman, if
he thinks that her native country is the
brightest and happiest country on earth;
Russian woman, if he despises all Western
crs as miserable barbarians; an English
woman, if he succeeds in ingratiating him
self with the royal court and aristocracy
an American woman, if-he has plenty Of
money"
A WITNESS. Yankee having told an
Englishman that he shot, Oh one particular
occasion, nine hundred and nincty-nine
snipes, his interlocutor asked him why he
didn't make it thousand at once.
"No," said he. mot likely I'm going TO
tell lie for one snipe."
Whcrcupon the Englishman, rather rilcd,
and determined not to be outdonc began to
tell long story of man having swan from
Liverpool to Boston.
"Did you see him?' asked the Yankee.
"Wcll, of course | did. l was coming
over, and our vessel passed him mile out
Of Boston harbor"
