Grant has but one chance of escape from
the fate of being handed down to posterlsy

To be practical it must include the dis

the whole clique upon whom the RESPONSE

He must repudiate the Casey Convention
itself, and recognize the validity OF the
Warmoth session. But will hef Grant Is
a man who does not like to hear the word

But we don't think that Grant has tue

for this course. He has great idea OF the
policy of Fighting it out on that hne''

SuDerStitiOn i'm 1871.

The following story is reported from
a village near Leicester, in Somerset,
England: A well-to.do farmer, who has
always borne the reputation Of shrewd
man OF business, few weeks since had
the misfortune to find a strange fatality
among his herd of cows. a veterinary
surgeon was called in, and every pre-
caution taken, and the remainder of
the herd were in fair way Of recovery,
when suddenly the farmer became sus-
picious, and insisted that he and his
cows had been overlooked and i'm
mediately sought out a "wise woman"
residing in an adjacent town. Acting
upon the advice of this old hag, the
farmer returned home, and shortly en-
circled with fagots the last bullock that
died, ignited the pile, and burned the
carcass, an incarnation being pro-
nounced over the burning beast. The
remainder of the herd recovered, and
their recovery is of course attributed
by the farmer and his simple minded
neighbors, not to the skill Of the veter-
mary surgeon, but to the success Of the
wierd ceremonial prescribed by the for
tune teller.

Railroad Bonds.

For several months past the Northern Pa
cific Bonds have been selling at the rate of
a million a month, and Messrs. Jay Cooke &
Co., the agents, report brisk and undated
demand thus far in the month of December
This must be highly encouraging to the COM
pany who are building the second great
highway to the Pacific, but it is not surpris-
ing in view of the attractions which these
bonds present. good railroad and its
traffic are usually considered security enough
for first mortgage bond, yet the Northern
Pacific Bonds are not only first lien on the
Railroad and its property, but IN addition are
first mortgage on valuable lands in Mime
sofa and the Northwest at the rate of 23, 900
acres for every mile of road built, or upward
of so, 600 acres in the aggregate. Every
bond of the denomination of 500, for in
stance, has so acres pledged in its support,
and it is specially provided in the companys
charter that the proceeds of all land sales
must be applied to the cancellation of the
bonds, as long as they can be bought at
price not exceeding 10 per cent. premium.
The bonds, when used in purchasing the
company's lands are worth $l.I0 now and
it will probably not be long before they
reach that figure in the market. Their
present price is par and accrued interest in
currency, and they bear interest at the unu-
sualIy high rate $40 per cent per annum
in gold.
