a gentleman in Gardiner, who has been out
OF health for the past year, and taken various
remedies without benefit, called on Dr.W. l..
Hall of g., one day last week, who, after
hearing description of the symptoms, in
formed the patient that he had within him a
tenant paying no rent, but consuming the best
part of the food which was eaten-in other
words, a tape-worm. Though unbelieving,
he took the remedies prescribed on Sunday
morning, and in the evening the 'varmint,"
IL feet long, was safely bottled in alcohol in
the doctors Office. 1t is useless to add that
the patient does not regret his loss

DEMOCRAT.

GATHERING DlssArIsFAorIoN.-
in the Radical ranks and among men who
have won the right to speak by authority
for the radical party. gathering dissat-
isfaction is manifest with Grant and bis
administration Of affairs. Every election
which has taken place during the current
year has shown that the confidence Of the
country has been withdrawn or is being
Withdrawn from him. Il now appears
that :he radical party itself is loosiug faith
in him and it is very certain that many
Of its leading organs arc beginning to
criticise his official acts with q severity Of
reproof that amounts to positive antago-
nism. We, Of course, think none the
worse Of Grant because Of the hostile At
titude towards him Of q radical Senate or
the radical press. With rs. it is rather
\ recommendation than otherwise. The
point We wish TO establish is, that the &C.
cord which once existed between Grant
aud his party is already broken and that
a serious and early outbreak between them
is one ofthc most probable of probabili-
ties. Speaking Of Grant in late edito-
rial, the New York Times, wbilom the
ablsst. the most s.eadfast, the most in Hu-
entail Of his supporters, says, that "she
compliant that in many important respects
he is Disappointing the just expectations
Of the people gains ground every day"
Aud it goes on to say:
"h ,couid be useless to deny that The
President is rendering Il u task Of in
ereasiRg difficulty to defend him ayaiasf
saeaaics into ,c!sose hands he is constant
" playing. Matters seem to be getting
into very much the same state as they
were in the time Of Andrew johnson. and
projects an ,Chich the president takes
deep iRtcres. are ANONYMOUSLY cast ont
Of the Senste. It is certainly not the
fault of his supporters in the press that so
thorough want OF harmony exists be-
tween the Senate AID himself. He seems
to have lost the art Of conciiiatio1. Ills
nominations 70 Office are dictated in many
instances by caprice, or BY personal pre-
ferenccs. which are founded on motives
inexplicabls to those who entertain high
opinion Of his character. His antago-
nisss. indeed, find it easy 20 interpret his
, conduct by the assumption chat he is in
fiuenced By all kinds Of unworthy cousid-
craticns. We Who have patiently stood
BY him cannot tranquility accept that hy-
pothesis. Bat in presence of some Of his
acts we stand be wildered--it Is impossi-
bic to defend them it is Impossible even
TO understand them. They are purely
phenomenal in their character, and can
not. IN any way, be traced to the ordina-
~ causes Of political action"

young lady living at or near Chaptico,
and as have just ushered into manhood
and am a resident Of the same neighbour
hood, and not frequent visitor Of the
fair sex (though great admirer offemale

much interested in the young lady's vel

NEE. with her. l should undoubtedly make
her proposal. especially as have been
contemplating marriage for some time
After perusihg various authors on ma.ri-

happiness in celibacy, but that . matrii-
monial alliance. when there is u congeui-
atty Of dispositions. is calculated to pro-
ducc degree OF felicity surpassed oaly
BY celestial bliss. Entertaining such sem
timents as these, am I culpable, If the
chief object Of my existence is to be uni
ted by the "rinealum patrtrsoniiiiP' p In
regard to the young men" who arc mat
ten,ise 10 unmarried ladies, I think it is
attributable 10 their difiienee and fear
Of cequetry. and not to desire Of slight

ion, Mr.. Editor. the greatest respect and
courtesy are due them, and I sincerely
hope that they may never again have
cause to complain Of proposals, or a want
Of attention on the part Of young men.
