Grants Ability.

In the Interior, published at Chica-

lind highly sensible article in refer
ence to the ability of President
Grant. The Interior is not political

outrages. Leaving out of the case

mended, and looking at il as a public
document designed to express the
mind of the author, and it was an
admirable paper. Plain, clear, con
else, forciblo, and in good taste, it
covered the whole ground and said
nothing to offend, and left no weak
places to invite attack, and give oc-
caslon for damaging comment. This
sensible and judicious production
was written by the President in his
room at the Capitol, in the presence
of his Cabinet and several distinguish
ed Senators, and was sent in to the
Senate as written, without alteration
or reUiSlon, and has been received
everywhere as an admirable docu-
ment as regards good taste, happy
expressions, and forcicle statement.
A bungler in such presence could
not have written it. A man doubt

fact is convincing proof of the err

tate Securities.

If we compare first-class Railroad
Bonds with good Real Estate mort
cages as an investment for the peo-
pie generally, each will be found to
have peculiar advantages of their
own. For examples Railroad
Bond is readily and always nego-
table; its cash value is known by
all bankers, and hence it can be used
as collateral at bank for temporary
loans the interest it bears is regu-
larry and promptly paid, without
trouble or expense to the holder the
investor in Railroad Bonds, unlike
the owner of Real Estate mortgages,
has no anxiety about the title to the
property on which his bond is secur-
ed, insurance on buildings, or the
annual payment of taxes, on which
the continued soundness of that title
depends.
On the other hand, il is to be adj
mitted, that first mortgage on val
liable land is one of the best possible
securities, The property can Meth
er run away nor burn up. Its val
ne is not affected by speculative
combinations, nor by fluctuations in
the amount of Railroad traffic. The
actual value of good land steadily
increases with the steady growth of
population.
1t is because the 7-30 Bonds of the
Northern Pacific Railroad are both
first-cass Railroad security, and a
Real Estate mortgage, on lands
worth twice the amount secured,
that we commend them to th ose of
our readers who desire an invest
ment that is safe beyond question,
while readily negotiable and bearing
o good rate of interest. They are
q first lien, not only a great Railroad
and its traffic, but in addition are q

the rate of so acres to each 500 of
indebtedness. Add to this the fact,
that the rate of interest & 80 per
cent. gold,) is more than 8 per cent.
currency, and that the bonds are al
ways exchangeable at 10 per cent.
premium for the lands on which they
are secured, practically giving the
power of foreclosure at WILL and it
is easy to explain the high favor
with which these securities are now
regarded. Central Pacific r. r.
Bonds, secured only on the Railroad
itself, and bearing only Sir per cent.
gold interest, are now selling at 103,
and they are we'll worth the price.
In the light of this fact, it is not un-
safe to predict that Northern Paci-
fics, bearing seven and three tenths
per cent. gold interest, secured both
on the Railroad and on $1,000 acres
Of land to each mile of track, and

A Woman Substituted for an Ok be-
fore Plow, and Fatally Injured.

Back of Maiden Rock, in Wiscon-
sin, at locality called Plum City,
lives a Swede, who, having this
spring but one OK, persuaded his
wife to carry one end Of the yoke in
blowing, while he held the pillow, and
the boy drove. The woman labored
at this extraordinary employment
for two days, but was then compelled
to quit it and take to her bed, on ac-
count of having ruptured an internal
organ in her efforts to keen her end
of the yoke even. la two days after
she died, the physician called by the
neighbors finding it impossible, when
he reached her; to do anything for
her relief. The light Of civilization
must have burned dimly ia the neigh
borhood where her husband was born
and bred and it is evident that the
poor wife was unknowing of the
rights claimed former by her stron e
or minded sisters.

European Complications.

Turkey, Invested OF her most i'm
portant ally by the overthrow of the
military power Of France, is making
every effort TO prepare for war
which is seen to be inevitable. I'm
mense establishments have been
erected for the manufacture Of arms
Of all modern descriptions, and the
cannon boundaries are busy turning
out guns of the latest and largest
sizes. The Bosphorus will soon be
lined with the most formidable bat
teries that have ever been construct
ed, while fleet of iron clads has been
built to co. operate upon the water.
1t seems altogether probable that
England is quietly melting these i'm
mense preparations. The Eastern
question" can never be settled while
Russia wants Constantinople, and
England sees her own commercial
destruction in the acquisition. Rus
sia has bridged her deserts with rail-
roads to the frontier, and England
has carried lines to all her Asiatic
possessions. When the clinch comes
it will be deadly one, and France
in no condition to bear a hand

Why Nor occasionally we are
asked, "Why don't you pitch into
this thing, and that" "Why don't
you give Mr.. So-and-so a scoring he
deserves it," Generally we reply,
"Well, you write out what you think
ought TO be said sign your name to
it; and then, if it contains nothing
that should not appear in print, we
will publish it," 40, but l shouldn't
want the fellow to know that had
written anything against him in the
newspaper. But" we reply, you
must remember that this is precisely
what you ask us to do. Whatever
appears in the Witness, not signed or
credited, practically appears over our
signature. Here is rule that will
suit your case exactly: Never ask
an editor to publish anything against
another that you would not be will
ing to have appear over your own
signature. Grant County Witness.

The Grand Army and the Peace
League.

While the Grand Army Of the Re-
public were IN session at Boston, an
amusing interchange of compliments
took place between the Grand Army
and the National Peace League.
The latter organization, by tele-
graph, asked the former to 'use it's
efforts to prevent warsin the future, /"
to which the Grand Army, not to be
out done in courtesy. responded /:
eve arc determined to have peace
even if we must fight for it," How
the peace people received this belig-
erent answer is aot stated 1t arous-
ed bewildcrment, no doubt, during
which it mus have occurred to some
OF them that peace could not always
be obtained without war. Germany
has just fought for peace and obtain
ed It. Theirs is battling for peace,
and the armies and navies against
which the Peace League invoighs so
bitterly are but international police
mon, maintained to preserve the
peace.

The Emancipated Negroes Devotion
TO Learning.

One of the most remarkable in
stances of the determination of our
black allies to acquire the rudiments
Of an education is found in the con-
tinuation of schools during the va
cations, and often in the absence of
the teachers. 1t was always expect
cd among them that the older schol-
airs should carefully lead the young
or up the first steps Of the hill of
science: 1t hardly seems juvenile
nature, however, for boys and girls
to give up their play for the sake of
learning, but they did it, and paid
their teachers for doing it too. In
1868, l78 schools continued open
through all the heats of a Louisiana
summer, in Mississippi, 20 schools,
with an attendance of 3, 500 scholars,
kept through the summer. Over six
hundred schools were taught through
that summer vacation. In 1869, one
thousand two hundred schools were
carried on through the vacation
months, 300 of them in Alabama
alone. Science may proudly point
to the devotion of her older follow
ers. but it may be doubted if the
humber annals of education can
point to any such instance as this
a whole race of children foregoing
their play and their pockot-money,

MURDER AT WIoTA.-A shooting
case is exciting the people at Wiota,
La Fayette county, in this state
1t seems that two residents of that
village, Lewis Pickett and Isaac
Miller, have long been quarreling on
the subject of division fences between
their respective farms. The old
difficulty was aggravated on the 18th
inst. by the breaking down of the
fence by Pickett's horses, the ami
mails invading Miller's field. Miller
observing the broken fence, proceed
ed to repair it, and Pickett, no doubt
supposing that Miller did this in or

the horses and claim damages, threw
down the fence, whereupon an alter
cation of words followed which ter
