GRANTS OPINION OF PUBLIC SPoUTERs.-
On the evening of December Sth the Union
League of New York City gave banquet to
General Grant. II was a brilliant affair.
In response to a toast, 50 The President Of
the United States" General Grant spoke as
follows:
Gentlemen of the Union League 1t is
with extreme regret that find myself unable
10 respond in appropriate language to the
warmth of feeling with which this toast has
been received. You all know how unac-
eustomed | am to public speaking-how un-
desirable a talent l think it is to possess,
how little good it generally does, and how
DESTROYS | am to see more OF our public
men follow the good example which be-
lieve. in this particular if in no other, have
set them, Tremendous applause, l need
not say. l must, however, express my ac-
Acknowledgements to the Union League of this
city, well to the Union Leagues of
other cities, for the great benefits they con-
ferred upon the Government during the
rebellion through which we have passed of
late wears. l wish to acknowledge their
liberality toward myself and toward the
soldiers serving against the rebellion, and TO
thank them for it.

"THE fine arts do not interest me-" said
Theodore Parker, $50 much as the coarse
arts which feed, clothe, house and comfort a
people. should rather be great man as
Franklin than Michael Angelo-nay, if l
had son, l should rather see him me-
chanic who organized use, like the late
George Stephenson, i'll England, than great
painter ike Rubens, who only copied beauty.
In short, l take more interest in cattle
show. and feel more sympathy with the
Pope's bull than his bul-lum. Men talk to
me about the absence of art in America.
You remember the stuff that M used to
twaddle forth upon that theme, and what
transcendental nonsense got delivered from
gawky girls and long haired young men. 1
tell them we have cattle shows and me-
chanics' fairs, and ploughs and harrows and

machines, thrashing machines and planning
There is not saw-mill in Rome.

THE VACANT BR1aADIERsH1P

i The Enterprise says that General
Crook is Democrat, and further says
that the APPEAL must have been in
ignorance of the fact when it advocated
his appointment. We certainly were
ignorant that such was the case and,
indeed, the recommendation was made
at the suggestion of Radical Union
man who stated to US that be kne,o that
Crook was as much of Radical as him.
SELF We are free to confess that we
know blu. little of General Crook and
we want to know less if he is a Copper
head or even a " Conservative" The
Enterprise recommends General Gregg
to the vacancy. We know something of
Gregg and can endorse all that the En-.
terprise says 10 his favor. We knew
him when be helped US to subjugate the
rebels and when, too, we used TO mess
with his cousin, John Irving Curtin -
one of the bravest of the brave. Gut
we guess that the vacancy will be likely
10 remain fulfilled until Grant selects
The man to take the place and if he
loes, and when he does, should be ap-
point General Gregg, we shall be as
much pleased as our neighoors Of the ,
Enterprise.

DoC3Lg- HEADED GIRLS OF New ORLE-
ASs.-We paid visit recently to that most
~onderfui of natures freaks, the double
aeaded colored girl. or perhaps i. would be
r1re correct to say the two girls in one.
Tor convenience we shall speak of them in
zee plural. They are entirely distinct, as
ar as the mind is concerned, laughing and
..atting with each other, and being appar-
s1tly upon the most intimate terms, and
cae NAV have the headache without the
e.aer being affected, but any fever or other
serious disease affects both equally.
Their bodies are separate from the small
nj the back up, each having a perfectly
formed bust and head, two arms, etc, and
Zach has two legs, but there is only one
:.-ink. Both are remarkably intelligent,
reading and writing with ease, while their
manners are really refined. In quite a
lengthy conversation they did not make a
eas unusually select. Upon questioning |
them as to their education, they replied that |
they had been carefully taught by their for
ger mistress, in Columbus, North Carolina
n which village they we're born.
They are now fifteen years old, and more
than ordinary bright for girls of their age,
saving had the advantage Of foreign travel.
iney both sing very sweetiy, one having |
sopr sno and the other a contralto voice, and
We have rarely heard two voices that blended
perfectly in duet Among their other
accomplishments is that of dancing, and the
manner n which they manage to execute
waltz is truly wonderful. Whel Standing /
at ease the left foot of one and the right
foot of the other do not lie fat upon the
door. but rest upon the toes. In walking,
however. they step with all OF, their feet
shke, though they can hold up two feet and
~,lk with perfect ease with the other two.
In speaking of them as one. they are /.
c,lled Millie-Chrsie, but in addressing them
separately. one applies the distinctive ap-
on the left being c,lei Mil 8
lie. and she on the right Chrisie though
Chri-ie. in addressing her other half, calls
her " Sister," There is :. striking resem- a
b!ance between their faces, and the con for /
nation of their heads being much the same r
-Chrisie, perhaps, shade brighter than Z
ter sister, and rather more taikatiye. b
Before seeing these strange girls we had y
faEcied that we would experience feeling b

right, cheerful faces dispelled that idea o. b

THE NEW YEAR.

: The year that has gone has afforded
much that is promising for the new
ono which has dawned upon US. "Wel
come the coming, speed the parting
guest" A belief which is nearly akin
TO a religious conviction leads us to
regard the political results of 1868 as
the most benefcient occurrences that
could befall American civilization.
| Grant not only furnishes us with fit
| ting character for the highest honors of
the Republic but gave US the most fit-
ting watchword that could be chosen
Let US have Peace" The import of
that motto moved the patriotic masses
to the step which gives Us promise tina,
the new year will see the country re-
stored to tranquility and AN unprece
dented prosperity. Thus are the ire
mendous events Of the past eight
years about to be brought, as we
faithfully believe, to a wise, humane
and profitable solution.
The Nation is upon the high road to
prosperity, power and unparalleled
wealth and the Pacific slope seems
destined to share in the general good
fortune. The completion of the Pacific
the opening, in all its vas:
extent, of the trade with China, Japan
and the East Indies, aud the conse-
4uent filling up Of the great channels
IF enterprise and Industry throughout
California the development of the e
erritories bordering upon our bounda- :
les and the opening up of the vast I
treasures of tae rich mineral districts t..
ying in the eastern part of Nevada,
hese are some of the gratifying pros :
'ects which are spread out before US.
indeed the world will enter upon this a
ew year with much of we'll founded d
opefulness.
We may wish then, with many glad I
igns of the promise of the fruition of "
ur hope, a " Happy New Year - to
land TO all to whom these presents
Iay come, greeting, we do wish the :
,llest measure of happiness and con- 6
eminent and an entire immunity from II II
