A Conference OF Anti-Grant SENATORS

Conference OF Anti-GFant Senators
If rumor is correct, the opposition to
Grant is rapidly crystalizing into for
midable shape. The proposed meeting
of Republican Senators at Albany is the
first definite movement in which men
prominent in the national councils have
taken part against the President whose
government they are expected to sup
port, although such combination must
have been formed long before this but
for tine restraining influence OF party
rule. Senator Sumner has denounced
the President as guilty Of crimes which
would warrant impeachment and
proved his charges in the Senate. Schurz
fought and conquered the whole
power of the administration IN Its
shameless interference with the rights
Of the people of Missouri, and is, more
over, thoroughly opposed to the policy
of the President. Senator Upton and
Senator Fenton are both suffering under
the frown of the President, and anxious
to take their turn at scowling. Alto
gether, the association of these promi-
nent Senators in movement looking
to the application OF the one-term prin-
chile to General Grant is so highly
probable that we may look with CONN
dense upon the report that meeting
for consultation will shortly be held.
In case the movement is set on foot, II
will he necessary to largely augment
the force in the custom house in order
| to counteract it.

From the GAINESVILLE Enterprise. ....,
Ex-Governor walker I'm MorristOwn,
Ohio-Deseripti0n OF the Noted
Chief and Leader. - rr -.-a
Ex-Governor Walker, of Kansas, is
now visiting at Morristown, Ohio, the
guest OF our jovial old friend Franklin
Simpson. p.
Governor Walker went to the wilds
of Kansas long before civilization found
home there. The Wyandotte Indians
were the natives of that region OF
country. over whom Mr.. Walker had
the honor 10 preside as chief, which
honor he still retains. Emigration
poured into that fertile country from
every State in this great Union. Mr..
Walker was then inaugurated the first
Provisional Governor Of Kansas; a
thing perhaps new in the history Of men
and governments A chief Of a mighty
Indian tribe, and Governor OF the
whites at the same time. He was
there during the bloody scenes Of that
State, when border ruffianism was rife
and no mans life seemed to be safe.
He remembers well those days Of peril,
and possibly they have made an i'm
preston on him, for shade of sadness
seems to linger on his brow. Although
he is now near eighty years OF
age, his senses are wonderfully
acute, exhibiting the fact that he has
been man of gigantic intellect. His
conversation is very pleasing and
instructive, and many are the
persons who seek his company for the
sake of gaining information concerning
the early history OF Kansas. He is in
sympathy with the red man, as well as
with the white. The blood Of both
races mingle in his veins, about one
fourth Indian. He loves to talk OF the
wild chase in the forests Of Kansas,
and occasionally to tell Of some thrill,
ling enterprise, with which is connected
the Indians war whoop," tomahawk
and the fatal arrow. He then for a
moment seems to be boy again. AS
he relates some of those border catas-
trophies the tear OF sorrow will glisten
in his eye. He walks erect, with the
elasticity Of youth, and an observer will
discover many traits and customs pecu-
liar to the Indian. MIRETCS.

A0ueer story About n Robbery.

The Canton (Ohio) Register, of Sep
TENDER lst, says:
About two years ago the express
agent at New Philadel phia, on the To-
ledo, Peoria and Warsaw railway, inMc-
Donough county, had in his possession
the sum Of $765, which was to be deliv-
ed by the Express Company to parties in
the neighborhood. The agent, having
occasion to go away, left the money IN
charge of a person named Pennington,
who was lame school teacher, but who
was STAYING at the depot with the in
tention of learning telegraphing. Be-
tore the return oSthe agent the commu-
nifty of that small town was startled by
the announcement Of Pennington that
he had been assaulted at night by two
ierocious Williams, and, with pistol at
his head, had been made to hand over
the money which had been intrusted to
his charge. Both the agent and Pen
nington were arrested, but nothing
could be developed beyond Peuning-
tons statement that he had been
robbed. They were both discharged,
but Pennington still remained under
suspicion of being himself the thief,
while the agent regained the confidence
of his employers, and was relnstated IN
his position.
Last Saturday some children, playing
near the residence Of Pennington, who
was still living at New Philadelphia,
discovered small box which the hogs
had rooted out of the ground. ltseems
to have fallen into the hands OF others
beside the Pennington family, for, upon
opening the box, it was found to contain
the the identical money taken from the
express office two years ago, with the
exception of its being short $ll OF the
amount. Pennington was Immediately
arrested, and confessed to the theft and
the use of the Sll. He expressed great
contrition for the act, and said he had
resolved never to use or unearth the
money, as he never wanted to see 1t
again. We heard those particulars
lust after his arrest, and have not yet
learned what was the result OF the ex'
animation.

mcnts, to be sure, but the average American
farmer is hardly to be called Jolly or even
cheerful parsonage In the busy season, he
rises with the lark, trudgcs all day as faith
fully and often more laboriously than his team,
so that when night comes, all the snap and
spring is out Of him. lie docs not make any
effort to interest his wife in conversation at
moal-times, nor she him and if when the
day is over, she has any troubles to talk over,
he is too tired to be very sympathetic and at
tentve So they plod along, living a hum
drum sort Of life which their bright children
mentally resolve to avoid by going to the city.
All farmers it is true, do not live so, but
many Of them do. and that is one reason why
SO many farmers wives break down They
have too much work and too little cheerr
ness, and 10 Is more than they or any b-.y
else can stand
a cheerful household, however, is peculiar
neither to the city nor country II is found
where those who reside beneath the same roof
recognize the obligation Of each to contribute
10 the happiness OF the rest, and where love is
the ruling spirit determined effort, coup
led with much iorbearauce, is necessary to
produce this result but when once it has
been attained, it will well repay every effort,
and the home thus graced by cheerfulness and
love will ever be cherished as indeed the
dearest spot on earth"-HeQrH aad Home

Horticultural View of Children.

hope | appreciate the value of children.
We should soon come to nothing without
them, though the Shakers have the best gar.
dens in the world Without them the com.
mon school would languish But the prob.
lem is, what to do with them 10 a garden.
For they are not good to eat, and there is a
law against making away with them. The
law is not very well enforced it is true; for
people do thin them out with constant dosing,
paregoric, and soothing syrups and scanty
clothing. But l, for one, feel that il would
not be right, aside from the law, to take the
the life, even Of the smallest child, for the
sake OF little fruit, more or less, in the gar.
den. may be wrong; but these are my
sentiments, and | am not ashamed Of them.
When we come, as Bryant says in his Iiad, f"
TO leave the circus Of this life and Join that
innumerable caravan which moves, il will be
some satisfaction TO us that we have never, in
the way Of gardening, disposed of even the
humblest child unnecessarily. NY plan would
be to put them into Sunday schools more thor.
oughly, and to give the Sunday schools an
agricultural turn; teaching the children the
sacredness of neighbors' vegetables. think
that our Sunday schools do not sufficiently
impress upon children the danger from snake s
and otherwise Of going into the Deighbors'
gardens.--My Summer in a Garden.
