Grant and his Cabiuet.

President Grant and his Cabiuet.
The Chicago Tribune has been
splitting out some of its displeasure
at President Grant and his Cabinet.
The fact is that, in the estimation of
the Tribune, there are no really
great men outside Of the editorial
staff of that paper. The New York
Evening Post, free trade journal,
distinguished for its conservatism
and eminent ability, thus replies to
the criticisms of the Tribune:
Two MONTHS" says the Western
journal. ''have passed away, and it
can not be affirmed that we have a
strong administration - and there
upon it goes on to condemn in de-
tail the whole Cabinet. Now, it
certainly cannot be said that we
have weak or puerile administra
ton; and the Cabinet appears to US
to consist in the main of much ADLER
men than the Tribune seems willing
to admit.
Mr.. Fish is certainly an unexeep
tiondble man, gentleman of high
character, Of fine and broad culture,
and well acquainted, not only with
the history Of the country, but with
it's foremost and ablest public men.
Mr.. Cox, though young man, has
made his mark in his own State. and
can not be justly condemned before
he has served in the Cabinet two
months. Mr.. CresweH has long had
a high reputation as business man
among those who knew him in Con-
gress, and he is Il leader of his party
in his own State, and was counted
not as unworthy successor of Henry
Winter Davis. Judge Hoar. OF

SENATOR SPRAGUE has brought
Rhode Island din about his ears.
Capt. Goddard, in referring to one
of Sprague's charges in his Senate
speech, addresses note to the
Senator, concluding as follows:
''It remains for me to pronounce
you before the world and with
full apprehension of the words 1.
use, a liar, calumniator, and a
poltroon.'' Taking into account
the size of Rhode Island this may
be called tempest in tea pot;
yet q small tea pot may contain
very hot water. IF a duel should
grow out of this we would advise
the combatants to do as a Southern
college student, who once was
arrested for sending a challenge in
Rhode Island, said to the court be
would do next time; "..ake my
position in Connecticut and fire

A Good Story.

A very amusing anecdote Is told
of an Irishman who happened to be
in Paris short time ago, while
three crowned heads of Europe
were there on a visit to his Imperi-
al Majesty Napoleon. These dis
tinguished persons were the Empe
rors Of Russia and Austria, and the
King Of Prussia. One day, having
thrown aside all state ceremonial,
they determined to see the sights
of the beautiful city on the Seine,
for their own delectation, and for
that purpose they determined to go
incog, SO as not to be recognized
by the people. However, in their
stroll through Paris they went
estray; and meeting a gentlemanly
person who happened to be an
Irishman, they politely asked him
if he would kindly direct them to
the Palasis Royal. ''Faith and
that 1 will my boys says Pat

A Miss JONES, who holds the
Office of Postmaster IN town in
Iowa, is engaged to be married to
MIR. Smith. But she does not wish
to lose her office. and if she marries
she is no longer Jones the Post
master, and she is in a bother.
She, in her pardonable pride, post
poned the wedding until she should
get the appointment, thus to be
able to contribute materially to the
joint funds of the two, and now
that the contingency, which she
made a condition precedent to the
union, has happened, she discosers
that it costs her the Office of Post
master or the title of wife If she
becomes Smith, there is no Jones

A CHINESE FUNERAL. A San
Francisco correspondent of the Bos-
ton journal thus describes a Chi
nese funeral:
'sFirst comes a wagon containing
several Chinamen, one of whom
is beating aloud gong, and anoth
er pair of cymbals to warn off
evil spirits, another is scattering
little bits of white paper along the
street to the cemetery, by which the
dead can find his way back to the
regions of the living. and two large
pigs roasted to a brown, with por-
ton of which the mourners.. who
follow in a long line of carriages
and wagons, and appear to be jolly
enough, are to regale themselves at
the grave. and the remainder is left
there by them for the departed one.

I never do. A better way. and
one which I invariably practice, is
to pinch or wipe off tie black crust

keep a cloth forthe purpose if you
desire. You will find that the f1ame

the public interests against the
greed and rapacity of private
avarice. We hope he will, in this,
receive the support and applause
Of the Republican Party. Its men,
bers need not fear that they will
thereby aid the Democracy. They
may, and we hope will, aid in sift-

that party and thus do something
toward what is greatly needed. the

menace the country, and the real
interests of all parties, with the
most serious disaster.-N y Times.

ties, another while engaged in his or
binary business, private dwellings en-
tered and the inmates grossly abused,
and that both cOlOred and white per-
sons have been hanged and otherwise
m~altreated. This is a formidable in
dictment truly. But the proof
of it is mainly to be found
in HoLDEN's proclamation. Whether
