G. W. Lowery, who says he was charter
member of the Republican party, notifies
the Napoleon CO., Northwest that he can
not swallow radicalism any longer.-Du-
duque Herald.
The fact above stated, if it is a fact, is
suggestive of a suspicion that Lowery has
fallen into bad habits, and possibly cannot
swallow anything with relish except Demo
cratic whisky. But as proof that this sort
Of degeneracy is not without its compensa-
ton we append the following, found in a
late dispatch from Indianapolis:
Hon. S. L. Perkins, for eighteen years
Democratic Supreme Judge of this State,
has given his adhesion to the Republican
party.
A Roland for your Oliver Mr.. Herald. A
Democratic Supreme Judge of the stubborn
Indiana variety, in even exchange for an
insignificant Ohio person with bad swal
low, by the name Of Lowery, will do very
well-for our side.

Stephens on Grant.

20 that portion of the Democratic press
which is given to persistent misrepresenta-
ton and vil,iGcation of President Grant,
end which seeks by every unfair means to
belit,le his character and ability, is CON-
mended the following estimate Of him by q
man high in Democratic regard and conf
dence. Alexander H. Stephens in the sec.
ond volume of his book just published, re-
cords his impression Of Gen. Grant upon
his first interview:
II was never so much disappointed in my
life, in my previously formed opinions OF
either the personal appearance or bearings
Of any one, about whom had read and
heard so much. The disappointment,
moreover, was in every respect favorable
and agreeable. was instantly struck with
the great simplicity and perfect naturalness
Of his manners, and the entire absence Of
say,hing like affectation, show, or even
the usual military air or mein Of men in his
position. He was plainly attired, sitting in
= log cabin, busily writing on small table,
by kerosene lamp. 1t was night when we
arrived. There was nothing in his appear
snce or surroundings which indicated his
nor aids about him. Upon Colonel Bah
cocks rapping, at his door, the response,
Come ip, was given by himself, in tone
Of voice, and with cadence, which | can
never forget. His conversation was easy
and fluent, without the least effort or re.
straint. Ia this, nothing was so closely
noticed by me as the point and terseness
with which he expressed whatever be said.
He did not seem either to court or avoid
conversation, but whenever he did speak,
what he said was directly to the point, and
covered the whole matter in few words.
] saw before being with him long that he
was exceedingly quick in perception ard
direct in purpose, with q vast deal more of
brains than tongue, as ready as that was at
his command
TIE Fenian raid upon Canada resulted
in most inglorous failure. Their forces
are disbanded, the most of the leaders ar
rested by the United States authorities, and
the rank and file, generally without money
or the means Of subsistence, left to get back
to their homes as best they can. The en-.
tsrprise was without plan, without compe-
tent leaders and without system. 1t lacked
the concurrence of large and far the wi
sest part of the Fenian organization, and
was foredoomed to disaster from the CON-
mencement. Every philanthropic heert
feels for Ireland's wrongs and expressions,
but our sympathy is mingled with wonder
and disgust At the criminal blunders Of
those who set up to champion her cause.

The New York World and the Chicago
Times are sensitive on the subject of Deco

1t ought not, they think, to be entirely sup.

they must do it cautiously so as not ia
"stir up old anlmosi,ies." When a widow

and Times mean is just this: Do not say
anything over these graves to remind the
people that these brave men were our
victims: that the rebellion was Demo
cratic rebellion, begun, planned, encour-
aged, and pushed to its bitter result by
Democrats. For if you do, it will make
them more disguised and us more detested
than we are now In fact, this depreciation
OF any reminder is only delicate method
of appealing Tor forgiveness. 1t is still

poorIdaL Lewis.

Newport Correspondence Boston Journal.l
Everybody thought Ida Lewis wo uld
be left in peace this season after the
furore of last, the public soon tirlng
usually of such demonstrations; but
such is not likely to be the case. The
rush of visitors has commenced again,
and Lime Rock is one of the greatest at.
fractions to strangers. 1t is estimated
that over ten thousand persons called
upon Miss Lewis last summer. Mr.
Lewis actually counted over nine thous-
and Of these, there were probably not
twenty who compensated her for the
trouble they gave. Her time was fully
given up to visitors, and in consequences
she had to hire her own work done, and
be at a considerable expense in different
WAYS. Possibly callers thought they
were paying Miss Lewis great compli-
ment in thus paying their respects, and,
indeed, not few took no pains to con-
ceal that had she not been a heroine
and the fashion, such call would have
been far beneath them. People would
land at the rock, prowl over the house,
quiz the family, pry into the household
affairs, patronizingly ask the age OF each
person, and what they lived on, and how
they felt when Ida was saving souls, and
the like, and then lay siege to Ida her
self, asking the most senseless questions,
to which she always replied politely,
though occasionally showing her annoy
ance. "Do you love your betrethedY
was q common inquiry which usually
brought an indignant answer.
Before the season was half over her
health was broken down, and she was
really unfit to see any one, but found 1t
impossible, as long as she remained at
the lighthouse, to deny herself A life
of Ida was written last fall by Colonel
George ID. Beaverton, which contains her
history from the time of her birth to the
present time, and also a description of
her presents, many of the letters she re
ceived, etc 1t is to be hoped visitors
will purchase this little pamphlet Of her
and save the. taxing of her time and
lungs in replying to all their inquiries
Copies of the fine painting of the Light
house and Rock, by Brewert0n, can also
be obtained of her. BY the way, she
has recently had some fine photographs
taken by Williams. of tins city, and as
she has an interest in the proceeds,
callers will not fail to provide themselves
with a carte, which are always on her
table. but never offered for sale by her
self She certainly was dealt with very
unfairly by the public last year Much
was said about her presents, which were
greatly exaggerated in number. Most
Of them were Of no benefit whatever.
The silk flag framed on her wall is a
nice thing 10 look at, and the medals
very pretty to handle. The sewing ma
chine she could not get time to use, and
the beautiful boat has lain idle from
want Of strength 70 asa the oars. Oi
cash she has very little, aad flowers and
canary birds were Of not much y9lsse.
Somebody made money from the sale OF
her photographs, and the bOstmen never
reaped sach a harvest.

We believe it was Talleyrand who said
