Pan MOBILE FRATRUM.


The thinking, rejecting men of all
parties pronounce both Grant and
Geary political humbugs of the first
water, and are becoming more and
more disgusted every day with their
silly and disreputable conduct. Since
they have been in power, corruption
and venality, in their worst forms, are
the order of the day, and shoddy rules
supreme from one end of the country
to the other. The vilest system ofpec-
ulation permeates every department
of the National and State Govern
ments, and the treasury of the people
is plundered at will by the scavengers
of the party in power.
The Radical party obtained its i'll
gotten power by theory of fretrenchment
and reform and with these promises
on its lips it has permitted the thieves
and robbers who hang upon its skirts
to deplete the treasury by hundreds of
millions annually, and to saddle taxes
y
try equal to anything experienced by
the edown-trodden subjects of Asiatic or
European Despotisms. For eight long
years has the country been ruled as
with rod of iron; the eyes of the
masses have been blinded TO the true
situation of things; the chains forged
tHas, ell lal
with more than usual care by their un-
principled and despotic rulers and it
will require almost more than super
human efforts on the part of the peo-
pie to release themselves from the ter
rible thraldom which has been impo-
sed upon them by their ruthless task
masters. The American people are
paying deafly for their folly in eleva-
ting two such consummate humbugs as
Grant and Geary to power. Whatev-
er may have been the services render
ed by them in the late war, and we
are not disposed to underIate the merits
of General Grant as a soldier, las to

find them !! they are confessedly tall
ures in the high civil capacities to
which they have been elected. Meth
er of them appear to have the remotest
idea of what constitutes real statesman
ship, and their Cabinet counsellors seem
to be very little better than themselves.
Geary is candidate for reelection
to the position of Governor of this
great Commonwealth, and asks the
people to endorse by their suffrages
his imbecility and all the corruptions
of his administration. Will they dc
it? Can it be possible that majority
of the voters of Pennsylvania will be
willing to continue the reins of power
in the hands of this empty and infia-
ted demagogue, who has shown him
self to be totally unfit for the high and
responsible duties which appertain tC
the office? We think not. On the
contrary, we believe that there is still
enough of integrity left in the people
to hurl John w, Geary and the vile
crew of political cormorants by which
he is surrounded.-POt Stand

ANDREW ON ULYSSES.

Andrew Johnson, ex-President of
the United States, is at present in
Washington, and has been "inter-
viewed" by correspondent, who re-
ports at length the substance of Mr..
JohnsOn's remarks. A leading featureof
Mr.. Johnson's conversation was an ex-
preston of his individual opinion of
General Grant, which is given in lam
guage more foreible than elegant. He
regards President Grant as "the great
est farce ever thrust upon a people.
He styles him "a little fellow who has
nothing in him. He hasn't
single idea. He has no policy no
conception of what the country re-
quires. He don't understand the
philosophy of a single great question,
and is completely lost in trying 10
comprehend his situation.
Mr.. Johnson's opinion of Grants
moral virtues is not of very exalted
character. "He is," says A. j., "men-
dacious, cunning and treacherous.
He lied to me fagrantly, and convic-
ted him by my whole Cabinet but
that even would have been tolerable
had it been the only instance; but it
was not. lie lied on many other occa-
sions. Physically, mentally
and morally he is a nonentity. Why,
sir, his soul is so small that you could
put it within the periphery of hazel
nut shell, and it might float about for a
thousand years and not strike the walls
of the shell. That's the size of his
SOUL"
A. j. hits Ulysses stoutly in a very
tender part when he says: "They talk
about his generalship. Well, he was
mere incident of war. Men and arms
were supplied in abundance, ,and so mas
sive were his forces that they simply
crushed out the rebellion. Itwould have
been done had Grant never been born.
Therefore he was mere incident.
But the little fellow has come to think
he Is somebody really. ! can't help
pitying him when / think and know
what an infinitesimal creature he really
is. ] often think that about the fittest
place for Grant is at some place in the
country where there are crossroads.
I have been at these places and often
noticed the scenes. AT one corner, per-
haps there is small black smithshop /;
at another corner there is a grocery
store, and at another a house where
the squire meets to settle cases. Well,
/ have noticed at such junction OF
several roads that when the squire's
business is over, several fellows will
propose a horse race, and to give in
terest to the thing, barrel of cider,
and, perhaps, half gallon of whisky,
will be staked on the result. Now.
Grant is just suited to such situation.
| His ideas are of the crossroad order,
/ and he has not a thought ahoyethat." !"
Making all due allowance for An
drew Johnson's good cause for dislik-
| ing Grant, there is no denying the
fact that in his rough oif-hand way he
has managed to give spicy and tratil-
full description of the great Ulysses, in
some points at least.-PhHadelphia
Herald.

o.. Young MAN, YOU'RE WANTED
A lady writer under this heading, hits
off the men as follows:
"a woman wants you. Don't forget
her. Don't wait to be rich ; if you do,
ten to one you are not fit to be married.
Marry while you are young and strug-
gle up together. Bnt mark, young
man, the woman don't want you if
she ID to divide her affections with
cigar, spittoon or whisky jug. Meth
er does she want you if you don't
take care of her and the little "after
thoughts" which are sure to follow
Neither does she want you simply be-
cause you are man, the definition of
which is too apt to be an animal that
wears bifurcated garments on his lower
limbs, quarter section of stove pipe
on his head, swears like a pirate, and
is given to filthy practice generally.
She wants you for a companion, help
mate-she wants you to have learned
to regulate your appetite and passions !;
i'm short in the image of God, not in
the likeness of beast.n

ANSWER YOUR CHILDREN's QUEs-
TIoNs.-Ed Education is enormously sup
posed only to be had at schools. The
most ignorant children often have been
constant in their attendance there, and
there have been very intelligent ones
who never saw the inside of a school
room. The child who always asks an
explanation of terms or phrases it can
not understand, who is never willing
to repeat, parrot-like, that which is
comprehensive, will far outstrip in
education the ordinary routine
scholar. Education" goes on with
the children at the tireside-on the
street-at church-at play-every-
where, Do not refuse 10 answer their
proper questions, then. Do not check
this natural intelligence for which
books cannot compensate, though you
bestowed whole Libraries.

FLOWERS AND MUsIC.-Yes, two
gifts God has bestowed upon us, that
have in themselves, no guilty trait,
and show an essential disineness.
Music is one of these which seems as If
it were borne ofdeath, but fingers with
us from the gates of heaven; music
which breathes over the gross or sad or
doubling heart to inspire it with a con-
sciousness of its own my sterious affini-
ties, to touch the chords of its unsus-
pected, undeveloped life. And the
other gift is that of flowers, which
though born of earth, we may well be-
lieve ifanything of earthly soil is in
the higher realm, ifany of its methods
are continued, if any of the forms are
identical. they will live on the banks
Of the river of life. Flowers! that in
our gladneSs and in our sorrow are
never incongurous-always appro-
pirate. Appropriate in the church as
expressive of its purest and social
themes, and blending their sweetness
with the incense prayer. Appropriate
in the joy of the marriage hour, in the
lineliness of the sick room, and crown
ing with prophecy the foreheads of the
dead. They give completeness to the
associations of childhood, and are ap-
propriate even by the side of old age,
strangely as the freshness contrasts
with the wrinkles and gray hairs; for
still they are suggestive, they are SYM
bolical of the souls perpetual youth,
the inward blossom of Immortality,
the armaranthine crown. In their
presence we feel that the body shall go
forth as winged seed.

These ports have foreign commerce of $780,
900 000 and an enormous domestic trade, besides
which we have the immense internal commerce of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this company proposes
erecting land lines and establishing speedy and
trustworthy means of communication, which must
command there everywhere else, the commu-
nieatiOns of the Government, of business, and OF
social life especially in China. She has no postal
system, and her enly means now Of communicating
information is by couriers on land, and by steam
ers on water.
The Western World knows that China is very
large country, in the main densely peopled; bat
few yet realize that she contains than third
of the human race. The latest returns made TO
her central authorities for taxing purposes by the
local magistrate make her population -Four hun
drea and Fourteen millions, and this is more
likely to be under than the actual aggregate.
Nearly all Of these, who are over ten years OLD,
not only can but do read and write. Her ciVlh-
cation is peculiar but her literature is as exten
siye as that of Europe. China is a land of teach
ers and traders; and the latter are exceedingly
quick to avail themselves OF every profered faell-
tY for procuring early information. 1t IS observed
in California that the Chinese make great use Of
the telegraph, though it there transmits messages
IN English alone. To-day great numbers OF feet
steamers owned by Chinese merchants, and
used by them exclusively for the transmission Of
early intelligence. If the telegraph we propose
connecting all their great seaports, were now IN
existence, it is believed that its business would
pay the cost within the first two years Of its sue
cessful operation, and would steadily increase
thereafter
No enterprise commends itself as in a greater
degree renumeratiVe TO capitalists, and to our
whole people. 1t is of vast national Importance
commercially, politically and evangeliealy.
