WHAT DOES He EXPECT THE New
York World says: Gen. Grant goes from
Garrison's to Saratoga, and as he seems to
be on collecting tour it is fair question
to ask what he expects to get up there.
He " thankfully accepted" /" fifty acres Of Jer-
scy sand land, and, as the soil Of Saratoga
is equally sandy and equally open to WA
nurial efforts, he may take fifty acres more
in that region. Perhaps the squaws who
infcst Saratoga with bead-work and baskets,
aud who are notoriously liberal, may give
him somcthing-and Grant is ready to take
any thing. Prepare your presents. Pres
idents with eight or ten open pockets and
bag and q basket for extras are not around
every day. Saratoga should make ready.

V 1t is now asccrtaincd that the dark
spots upon the moons surface indicate the
presence of vegetation. Everything sus-
tains the inference that not only is water
in sufficient abundance in the moon for
sustaining animal and vegetable life, but
that animal life exists there. Being, per-
haps onr equals in intelligence, may atthis
moment be signaling our planet for the
purpose Of discovering whether life or in
telligence exists there.

W Some simple facts concerning color
will be useful to many when deciding how
todress for a Photographic picture. Dark
brown, dark green, maroon, and plain black
goods, without gloss, viii take rich black
color. Silks of the same color will take
considerably lighter. Snuff.brown, dark
leather dark drab, scarlet, cherry, dark
orange, crimson, and slate, will take very
rich drab color. Violet, blue, pink, purple.
and magenta will take very light, and should
be avoided in dressing for photographs.
The hair should never be very wet or glossy.

Bay 1t has heretofore been pretty gen.
orally the impression that, while the citi-
zens Of the South might be able to control
the negro vote in the country, the blacks
in and about the towns and cities would be
beyond their influence. At the late NUM-
cipal election in Nashville, however, the
negroes deserted the radicals for the first
time and voted heavily with the citizens, so
that the Conservative ticket was elected by
a large majority. As there is no reason
why this should not be made to occur in
the other municipalities of the South, it
is not at all impossible but that VIC mayyet
see the negroes vote as steadily with their
old masters as they once worked for them.

W They take the State scnsus in Iowa
oitencr than anywhere else in the country.
That of 1869, the aggregates of which arc
just published, shows population Of con-
sidcrably more than million, against 902, )
600 in 1867, and G75, 1000 in 1860. We
wonder if the Nation will allow that the
aggregate wealth of Iowa has increased
any since 1850. Its largest city is now
Davenport, with a population of 20,OG6, a
gain of III per cent. in two years. Du-
hn4uc comes next, with 1S,0S4, then Dcs
Molnes, with l2,37S, and Burlington with
1904. Council Bluffs has 5,793, and
ottumwa 4,554. 1t is curious fact that
the two cities, Davenport and Dubuque,
taken together, have fewer inhabitants
than in 1867. On the whole the country
l'laee. gain in population faster than the
cities do. The reverse is true of Massa-
rhusctts aud all the eastern states.

rY-Thc descriptions ofthe new Catholic
cathedral now in process Of erection near
Fifty-frst street, in New York, are perfectly
dazzling. The building will cost five mir
lions Of dollars and will probably be the
most imposing ecclesiastical edifcc in
America. In the interior will be an area
Of nearly forty thousand feet; there will
be comfortable accommodations for fourteen
thousand people, and in emergencies nine
teen thousand people may be admitted.
The largest New York church will not seat
more than four thousand people and as one
of the reporters remarks, the Imagination
fails to grasp the scene which will be pre-
sentcd when at the solemn dedication Of
this cathedral the sacred anthem of praise
first swells through the majestic edifce."
