The Grant Monument.

The Grant Monument.
Don Piatt, the radical Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
suggests the following as suitable in
scription for the equestrian statue to be
erected In honor OF General Grant:
Erected to the Honor
OF Ulysses S. Grant, General
And President.
OF obscure origin and questionable training
He held himself aloof from parties
And practically
Had no principles.
Entering the army,
lie fought bravely and won renown
BY making the road to Richmond
A highway Of human bones
Happening to be the frstin command
When the Confederacy fell,
From sheer exhaustion,
A grateful people made him president,
He proved his science,
BY reaching into the unknown
For his cabinet.
He was generous,
And to those who brought him gifts,
lie gave fat o.hces;
And charitable,
For he fed his family at the public crib
And lives immortal as the only man
Who ever helped
A brother-in law.
This monument
Is built
Unprotected copper and
Monopolized pig iron
By a grateful few,
Who fattened famously
While people starved.

old, whose eyes were fixed upon the lus.

a furnishing cat in sight of tempting
piece of meat. After watching his move

"Have you had any peaches this

Glow many do you think you could

The eyes of the little gamin distended
and he drew long breath.

A quart was measured out
'Now sit down on that doorstep and
let US see what you can do"
No second invitation was needed
Never did a starving tiger in the jungles
feast with more gusto and delight upon
a fresh piece of missionary, than that
boy upon that quart of peaches. He
fairly revealed in them. The juice oozed
out of the corners of his mouth, it cover
his face, it ran down like the ointment
upon the beard of Aaron, seven to the
skirts of his garments" and by some
unknown process it got into his hair.

mother. She ha'nt had any this year.
But was so hungry, and they tasted SO

q In all his hunger and dirt he had not
forgotten that; and as he sped with rap
id footsteps toward his home, tightly
grasping the paper bag which contained
his second quart, We thought, with a
pang, of the hundreds of others in our
city, with palates just as longing, but

The Supreme Court of the United States
has judicially decided the long-mooted
question: ''When did the war close p
The decision likes the termination of the
war on the 18th day of August. 1866,
that being the date Of President Johns
sons proclamation Of peace.
Yet, frem that day to the present, arm.
les have been in the field, the laws of war
have been executed, aud the laws of peace
have been suspended by the power of
bayonets. There is an ancient document
that once cut considerable figure in the
affairs of this country, and which was
formerly frequently appealed to as con,
tanning some fundamental doctrines Of
Political liberty. In it are found these
indictments Of prince who was charged
as "a tyrant, unit to be the ruler of a free
people,:
'lie has kept among US, in times OF
peace, standing armies, without the con-
sent Of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the military
independent Of and superior to the civil
power.
He has sent hither swarms Of officers to
harass our people and eat out their sub.
stance"
The document is an interesting one.
and, although actually composed nearly a
century ago, reads as if it had been drawn
up since the 18th day of August, 1856, as
an indictment of the present governing
dynasty. Such is not the case. 1t is an
absolote paper, that is nearly passed out
of memory Chicago Times.
The time may arrive when the indict.
ment may be renewed, and the party in
power will fail to fiEd men in this country
mean enough to defend them. The viola.
ted laws of justice and humanity will yet
be executed upon the vile men who are
DOW ruling US with iron rods. We still
have slight hopes of this countrys re-
demptien from the hands of the traitors,
for such the men are who arc re-re-con-
structing the Southern States The hon,
est masses, who are not paid to cast their
votes for dishonest and wicked partizans,
will wake to knowledge of their duty to
themselves, their families and their coun>
try, when every Radical will be hurled
from the high positions they now occupy.
Then honest men will take their places,
and our country will 90 forward with
giant strides to future greatness and pros
perity. Feeport Bulletin,

The CAUSE OF THE Mild WINTER
The present winter has, SO far, been the
milaest known for quarter OF century.
A writer in Canadian newspaper ac>
counts for the extraordinary mild weather
by propounding a theory which has at
least the merit of originality. lie says
that the remarkable tidal wave that swept
our shore on the 9Th of October last, and
especially the low lands of the Bay OF
Fundy. submerging all th, marshes, d. ked
and undyked, was caused by an uprising
Of the bed of the sea at some place not
far distant. where it is covered by the
Gulf stream. This, in turn, he main
tains has been caused by one Of the many
earthquakes whose effects have been 50
frequent in low ATTITUDES this autumn.
The immediate result of the upheaval
was to divert vast volume of sea water
from its usual course. thus accounting for
the great tidal wave. If the Gulf stream,
or portion of it thus diverted, ii found,
as he thinks it will be found to have be-
come permanently changed, and to be
located nearer this continent than hereto'
fore, then this strange and Unprecedented
modification of climate will be satsfactor-
lily accoanted for, and may, perhaps, be
more or less CONTINUOUS.

NATIONAL, Iowa, March 18th, 1870.


Eds. Times With your permission I
will say few things to my Farmer
friends, and members of the Agricultural
Society. We now have small circular
grove of shade trees set out on the west
side Of the Fair Housc--some 10 or IL
rods from the building-they were dona.
ted last spring and set out free of cost, to
the Society-they have lived and done
well. The Executive Committee are au-
thorized, by a vote of the Board of Di-
rectors, to solicit and receive donations Of
trees this Spring, to be added to said ''cr-
cular grove" on the Fair Ground, and to
employ man to dig up, move and set out
such donated trees-he to be paid for
such work by the Society. Several dona-
tons are already offered. One by the
Sparta, Wis. Nursery, Of much value,
"Larch" believe. The idea of starting
and finishing this grove is to have, in a
few years, q pleasant place for seats,
where people can rest, and visit with their
friends, in pleasant weather. This grove
will be good place to have big speech
(camp meeting style) at our Fairs in years
to come. 1t should have an evergreen
screen for the outside row Of trees-these
will keep out the high cold Withstand
the inside trees should be trinmod up SO
as to make the inside comparatively clear,
having completed shade overhead.
How much such a grove will add to the
attractiveness Of the Fair Ground, and
what. a splendid place it will be for Sun
day School picnics and 4th of July doings
in the good days that are coming for the
people of this fair land l wish to urge
this matter upon the attention of our peo-
pie nog-this Spring. Lose no further
time. Those haytng trees to give can no.

Farmers-''have Bank Book on the

lage, to be called the Farmers Advertis-
er" or ''Sales Book" In this Book let
every farmer make entries of whatever
he has to sell, animals, seed grain, hay,
oats, corn, potatoes, &C., giving his price
and also give description, and age of ami
mals-these entries can be made free of
charge, and would be Of mutual benefit to
those who wish to sell, and to those who
wish to buy. We have started such
Book at National P. O., and invite our
farmers, Of Clayton Co., to fill it, free of
charge-only asking that whenever any
thing advertised is disposed of that it shall
be crossed off the Book. All Of which is
respectfully submitted to the consideration
Of our people. N. HAMILTON.

The IdiOms of the West.

The fresh idiomatic phrases and "slang"
words that pour in on the ear of the trav-
ellcr through our new West, and especial
ly in the mining districts, will greatly
amusc and interest him. The language
seems to be finding an invigoration among
those hearty and candid residents of the
borders of civilization. They are drawn,
indeed, from the 'well of English unde-
filed;" but they bubble up from fresh
springs, sometimes all sparkling with wit
and meaning, and many of them will win
their way and keep their place in the
common stream of our mother tongue.

Farming.

fArmlnSs
We should always hope for long, bright
days of sunshine in farming, as in other
pursuits, but it is also the part of prudence
to remember that large proportion OF
the season of seed times is taken up by
rainy days. Not only are there many
days when there is rain failing from the
clouds, but when it is covering the soil we
wish to cultivate.
1t would, perhaps, be safe rule, after
a farmer has made his estimate that he
can pillow and put in crop, say eighty
acres-no calculations being made for
rainy days and days when the ground is
too wet to work-to reduce his estimates
one half. If water in the air and water
in the ground will not make this difference
IN the amount of work done, it is pretty
certain that accidents to farm utensils,
tanning of the team, or sickness Of the
farmer himself will make up the difference.
Nor is it in the spring, alone, that al
lowance must be made for rainy days.
We can pillow much less corn, secure much
less hay. and harvest much less grain than
if the ground had always its requisite de-
gree of moisture from some other source
than from the clouds. 1t is wise, then,
while laying out for good summers
work, to take into consideration how we
shall be delayed by the causes we have
spoken of. 1t is much better every way
not to disturb good hay field, than to
plow it up, and have it covered with
weeds, because there is no time to kill
them for weeds and goslings will grow
at times when the rain keeps the farmer
| within doors.-Prairie Farmer.
