PRESIDENT GRANr's LIFE THarArzazD

PRESIDENT GRANr's LIFE THaEArE,zED
By A LUNAT1c.-President Grant, accom-
panied by his son, while walking down
Pennsyivania avenue, yesterday enjoying
the dne weather, was followed the whole
distance by3a suspioious-looking man.
named Terrence Cassidy, who at divers
times attempted to draw the President
into conversation. AS this was refused,
he threatened President Grant with an.
sassination and showered abuse upon
him. The President at fret did not heed
him, but as the man kept on following
him, he called officer McCathran, OH the
corner of Ninth street and PENNSYLVANIA
avenue, requesting him to take Cassidy
into custody, as he was evidently crazy.
McCathran arrested him, and the man
was taken to the Central Guard house.
Cassidy is an Irishman by birth, about
forty-seven years of age, and tolerably
well known in this city. He lives on G
street, near the Presidential Mansion,
and has often been ut the White House
for the purpose of seeing President
Grant, and on being refused admittance
he has cursed him and the officer on du-
ty there, causing his ejectment from the
Executive Mansion. Those who know
Cassidy do not at all doubt his insanity.
The affair was witnessed by large
number of people on the avenue, and
excited much comment.

In the ranks of the Pontifical Zouaves
at Rome is one whose name appears on
the roll as "Lalicki, ne Anthropopha-
gite." Somewhere in the Polynesinn
archipelago there is an eccentric popula-
tion which still preserve the good old
traditions of anthropophagy. There
was born the Zouave; he was the off
spring of honest though cannibalistic
parents, who were kings in their tribe.
Once q numerous family, all have now
disappeared-victims to the demon of
play. For it appears that these capni-
balls are devoted to the gambling table,
and, when they have lost all that men
can lose, including their arms, their
children and their wives, put themselves
up as stakes, and the winner eats tho
loser. Thus perished, after game of
Polynesian faro, the entire family of
young Lalicki. It seems that the boy
was included in the bet. but he managed
to escape while his papa and mamma
were on the spit, and was received by
some pious missionaries, who put him to
school, taught him his catechism, and
then, when he was old enough, sent him
to Rome. to show that even royalty was
proud to mount guard ut the palace of
the Popes.

Some rash fellow says that the giving

amount to much; for mono of them
would admit that they we're old enough
to vote until they were too old to take
any interest in politics.
We observe form our Georgia ex-

NEW HAMpsH1RE.-If the Democrats

New HAMPsHRE.-If the Democrats
had been true and compact in New
Hampshire, they might have gained the
victory in the late election. But they
were false and foolish, and so defeated.
The Herald we'll says that "abominable
dissensions and atrocious and incon-
'ceivabIy stupid conduct of the Demo-
CRATIC managers have piuoked from the
Democracy of New Hampshire the plume
of leading the Democracy of the nation
to certain success in 1872"
Gen. 5sdel, the Democratic candidate,
was virtually put aside. Mt the eleventh
hour, in favor Of the Labor Union can
didate. Protesting against this misera-
BILE dodge, he thus wrote:
''If ruin is to be the order of the day,
my skirts shall be spotless. No act Of
mine shall be cited by friend or foe, as
tending in that direction. Let what
will come, I mean always to be true to
principle and to the interests of my
State and country. No
personal ambition shall ever be permit
ted to swerve my course to one side or
the other of what deem to be right in
the eyes Of God and man. But the idea
of party of thirty odd thousand in the
State of New Hampshire selling out to
party of great expectations, seems to
me suicidal; but, perhaps, some prefer
suicide to awaiting natural DEATH"
The Democracy of all the States must
purge the temple and stick to principle,
or else be contented with defeat.

a FEMALE REGULAToR.-Woman and her
needs For complaints and irregularities to
which her sex is exclusively liable, HEINITsH's
QUEENS DELIGHT is recommended on the au-
thority of wives mothers and nurses. who have
tested it's tonic and regulating properties, and
know whereof they speak," and afso with the
sanction OF able physicians, who have admi-
patients, in obstinate cases, with the happiest
results. Almost all female complaints are
complicated with mental gloom and despon-
dency, the gentle and lasting exhilarating
effects OF the QUEENS DELIGHT is admirably
adapted to such cases. As remedy for hys-
terra and mental depression, it has no equal
in the world. Nureing mothers find it an ad-
mirable invigorant. 1t is highly satisfactory
that this preparation should prove 80 emf
nently beneficial to the sex. Young and old
will find relief always. For sale by FISHER &

a RAP AT THE GIRLS. Omaha lee
turer thus discussed the question the
other night:
Twenty years ngo, the ladies were
their own dress makers, and how beauti-
full they looked to the brave men who
then courted them. Then, they wore no
hoops, no switches, no anything, but
were just Us God made them A lover
could then tell whether his love weighed
100. 80 or Is pounds; could tell at n
glance what she was. But now they
could not tell whether the girl was made
by the dress-maker or by God; they
looked her over, end were not sure she
was not half cotton; touched her head,
and didn't know whether they felt ma
ture's hair or 4 musty waterfall. Twenty
years ago. we were all better, looked
better, and were better Christians We
had progressed for the worse, and ms we

SHORT RULES IN RURAL EcoNoMY.-
Paint all tools exposed to the weather,
and if with light colored paint, they
will not heat, warp or crack in the sun.
Dip we'll seasoned shingles in lime
wash, and dry them before laying, and
they will last much longer, and not be-
come covered with moss.
Dip tho end of nails into grease. and
they will drive easily into hard wood,
where they would otherwise double and
break.
In plowing or teaming on the road in
hot weather, always rest the horse on an
eminence, where one minute will be
worth two in warm valley.
In setting out young orchards, always
register the varieties Immediately in q
book, where they may be referred to in
few years, when the trees commence
bearing, and the labels are lost, and
names are forgotten.
In laying garden for fruits and vege-
tables, place everything in drills or rows,
80 that they may be cultivated by q
horse, and thus save the expense of hard
labor.
When board fences become old, and
the boards begin to come off, nail up
right, facing strips upon them against
each post, and the boards will be held to
their places, and the fences last several
years longer.

GENTLEMEN FASHIONS FOR SPRING

fancy colored clothes, crepes. patelot

The material for vests will be the same
as for coats, or when varied from them,
fancy cashmeres will be used
For business suits nothing hos super
seded the Scotch chenots, and they will
remain the favorites for summer wear.
There will be many new colorings in
plaids and mixtures, of which the black
and brown shades will be most popular.
Goats, generally, will be cut short and
the roll of the lappels somewhat reduced
For street coats, walking frocks will pre-
vail; and for business purposes, English

in the neighborhood of the Punch Bowl,
just above Natchez, had recently found
an iron-bound box containing some
thirty thousand dollars in Spanish coins,
supposed from their dates to have been
buried by DeSoto over 800 years ago, is
q hoax. The fact is that O number of

to dig until their patience, food and
money were all exhausted, and finally
had their labor for their pains.
