Compliment to the President.

The Grand Duke Alexis has lost
no time in visiting Washington, in
order to be formally presented to
President Grant. This has evident
ly been done under instructions
from the Emperor, his father. He
was careful to say to the reception
committee at New York that this
was his purpose, as well as that the
President is held in high personal
respect at the Russian court. This
is high compliment to President
Grant, and shows that at the pres
ent, not only is the office of Presi-
dent respected abroad, but also the
occupant of the Presidential chair.
1t is little peculiar, that while a
little band of disappointed men are
industriously engaged in attempting
to thwart the denomination of Pres
ident Grant,-such journals as the
London Times urge his continuance
in power, on the ground of high
character and administrative sue
cess. At the same time, those in
high position abroad most respected
for their intelligence, purity of char
and kindly regard for our country
and institutions, are exceptionally
careful to testify their high estimate
of the personal character of Presi-
dent Grant. However, the people
understand, ,and will continue to hon
or him.

THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT,

When the fire was raging in all
its fury in the pine forests of Mich.
igan, the people were fully impressed
with the belief that the day ofjudg-
ment was certainly upon them. II
is related of one old lady, that she
staggered the faith of many OF
the people by declaring that the
trumpet hadn't blown 4 told 'em
that eff the day of judgement was
come, the trumpet would blow, and
I had listened more'n an hour, and
never heard toot.' She continued
with aeerbity: 81 knowed just as well
as wanted tn that it wasn't no last
day, if folks want all fools" OF
course, that woman was a Yankee.
Cheerfully oblivious of any educa-
tional deficiencies or shortcomings
in culture, the good lady dealt out a
scene of valuable bitterness on hel
unfortunate neighbors, whom fol
their misfortunes, she regarded as
'shiftless' cumbers of the earth. The
tongue, however, could match in
sharpness the heart in kindess. In
the dreadful whirlwind of fire the
ill-favored speech was forgotten,a
she ministered bravely to her less
fortunate llow-sufferers

ROMANCE OF A RING,

A romantic story comes from Kan
sas City, No, and like many others,
its incidents have grown out of the
war. In 1861 young man of Kan
sas City enlisted in the Confederate
service, receiving as parting gift
from his mother a plain gold ring.
In 1854 the young man was taken
sick at Glarksville, Texas, and dur
ing his delirium lost his ring. At
ter a fruitless search he gave up all
hopes of ever seeing it again, and
when well enough to leave the place
he remarked to his nurse, "pretty
and amiable girl, that if she would
find his ring he would come back
and marry her. At the close of the
war he returned home, where the
loss of his mother recalled the lost
ring to his memory, and so he wrote
to his former nurse in go, asking if
she was still single and if she had
found the ring. In 10 he received
an answer from the maiden, saying
that she was still single, and that
five days before, in the course of
some repairs to the house, the ring
had been found. A new offer of mar
riage was made and accepted, and
with money in his pocket and good
home behind, the man has just gone
to Texas to bring back his "bonnie
BRIDE" sI#t.

THE MOP BRIGADE.

A private letter dated at Hutch.

operandf'' of a mop brigade organ.
lied to fight the prairie fires. There
was a fire company formed in Hut.
Crimson, who were to go out at any
time, night or day, at the cry Of
alarm to fight fire. There were
about forty of them in all. Some
times they would go out in one di-
rection and work till they had put
out the fire, land come home and turn
in to rest, and within half an hour
would be summoned again in anoth-
er direction to fight the advancing
flames. Horses would he harness
ed, attached to whatever vehicle
came first in the way, and no ques-
tions asked, and away they would
go. Mr.. Putnam, the hardware mer-
chant, was called the Gen'l of the
brigade, and under his lead they
did splendid service. Lawyers and
merchants would throw off their bet
ter garments, and enveloped in old
clothes and armed with mops as
they called them, which consisted of
old bags tied firmly to broomsticks,
add soaked in water-would march
to the front of the fiery battle. The
town was many times threatened, but
efficiency of the fire brigade saved
it. Every hotel and store would
have about a dozen of these smops'
on the steps ready for action.

The Bible is the true source of all
knowledge and education. 1t only
has produced perfect code of NOR
al-law, and upon its basis ell learn
ing is founded. But he who would
read, and understand these truths
Alright, needs the lamp of the Holy
Spirit to guide him in his way, else
his own clouded intellect will fail to
fathom its mysteries, his unaided
reason to show to him the straight
and narrow way that leads to life.
The wholesome education of the
Scriptures, early instilled into the
minds of the youth, both at home
and in the school room. is the great
need of the present time. The good
seed sown early in the plant mind
could not fail to have a lasting effect.
but with the blessing of God we
could confidently expect it to yield
in some thirty, in some sixty, and
in some an hundred fold.

MRS. sTANToN's PLAN.

Mrs. Cady Stanton has discover
ed way to defeat President Grant.
Her plan is to run an electoral tick
ct, composed of. men of acknowledg-
ed integrity from every State, with
no platform at all except opposition
to Grant. Those men, when elected,
are to meet in convention and nom
mate candidate, after which they
are,according to law, to meet in their
respective State capitals and cast
their votes for the nominee of the
conveation. This is the way, Mad
anne Stanton thinks, to bring on the
millennium and give the vote to wo-
men. When a man invents a flying
machine, or discovers the secret of
perpetual motion, he believes thor
oughly in his continuance, and we
suppose this lady has the same sort
of abiding faith in her plan.

rMPoRTANT TO Us.

We are now settling up newspa-
per accounts, and among the most
important is the subscription list.
Two dollars pays for the REPuBE-
CAN one year. We must, in order
to meet the demands on us, have
settlement with all who are indebted
to us by the latter part of Decem-
Der, and we trust all who may re-
ceive bills will give them prompt
attention. We desire to make many
valuable improvements, but in or
der to do this we must pay our debts
first, and to do that, those who owe
us must first pay us. Help us, and
do not only pay up your dues, but
make some effort to get us new sub
scribers, and we will pay you back
well through the columns of the

ARREST OF CONNOLLY.
The arrest of Controller Conn

The arrest of Controller Connolly
is something of surprise, as it
was understood that he was to be
let 60 free in return for having
turned States evidence. But it
seems there is to be no let up on
that account. What makes Connol-
ly's case harder is that the friends
of the Ring will not become bail for
him, because he had turned against
them, whilst among the honest por-
tion of the community there are
now very few disposed to give any
kind of countenance to a Ring
member, much less become surety
for him. Mayor Hall is marked
down as the next victim.

A New Specimen,

The GAINESVILLE Signal tells a good
story at the expense of the commit
tee on Poultry at the late Muskin-
gum County Fair. A citizen had a
common barnyard rooster, whose
back was broken. A facetious fel-
low concluded he would try an ex-
pertinent. He doctored the rooster
and cured his broken back, but the
fowl stood straight up and down
like man, and had to lie down on
its side when it ate. When the fair
took place he entered it for exhibi-
tion as an Hungarian Cock, import
ed from Weistenstein, Hungary, the
celebrated Magyar Breed" The
poultry committee had a long debate
in that department, the best poultry
exhibition ever seen in Muskingum
county, and finally awarded the
prize to the broken backed dung
hill. =

SUPPOSED MURDERER ARRESTED.

to be the murderer of John H.
Swing, was arrested near Xenia,
Ohio.and brought to Cleveland Fri
day night, In his trunk was found
an under and overshirt stained with
blood. The officers also recovered
Swings watch, which Cooper had
bartered for furniture. He manifest
ed no surprise at his arrest, asked
no questions, and made no resist
ance He claims the blood on the
shirts was caused by his nose bleed
ing, and that the watch was gift
from Swing, who was his uncle.

APPRECIATION OF THE SITUATION.

Governor Hoffman shows his ap-
probation of the situation by con-
sulting Democratic Senators rela-
tive to the calling of an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature to pass the
new city charter, drawn up for New
York, in law. Of course, the OBJ
ject of this is to have the new law
enacted by Democratic Legislature
thus depriving the Republicans
the credit of passing it. As the
Legislature will meet in about a
month it would seem that New
York might get along for that time
especially as Mr.. Green, and the
Committee of Seventy keep a pret
ty close watch on the Tammany
rOgueS. .-

THE Rise IN THE RIVER.

The rain Of last week was gladly
welcomed, not only by coal produc-
ers, but by coal consumers. The
rise in the Ohio River, reached
some 9 or 10 feet, and was sufficient
to start a vast amount of coal down
the stream. 1t is estimated that the
number of bushels leaving Pitts
burgh last week alone, will reach
about seven millions. The river for
two or three days was literally lined
with boats containing the much
needed article, in the south and
west. When this immense amount
of fuel reaches its destination, and
its worth brought back in cash, we
may confidently expect s'let up"

PLAYING POSSUM.

we nave warned tnOSe hepuDll-
cans disposed to credit the Democ-
racy with honesty in its proposed
passive policy that it was but
playing possum," and that when
the danger was past it would be
found as lively as ever. Already
it is unclosing an eye to show it is
neither dead. nor disposed to let
slip any chance of securing an adj
vantage.
The Louisville Courier-Journal
said it was merely sucking its thumb
until an opportunity offered to with
draw it and ego to gouging." Now
comes the New York World, which
was for three or four days zealously
advocating the passive policy, and
ready to make any kind Of compact
that would "bea Grant" The
World finds some of its own party
taking in earnest what was intended
merely to fool the Conservative
Republicans" Alarmed at this, it
winks vigorously to show the party
is not dead, but only playing pos
sum-" In its issue of the 24th it
gives notice to the dissatisfied Re-
publicans that the management of
the anti-Grant combination must be
placed in Democratic hands. 1t is
willing to take them in as partners,
but their control can only be in
proportion to the active capital they
bring into the concern" Going in
to figures, it shows that the Demo-
cratic strength is vastly superior to
the greatest their proposed allies
can bring into the field, and hence
the command of the united forces
must rest with the Democracy. The
organization and discipline of the
Democratic party must be maintain
ed and no concession made to the
dissatisfied Republicans until it is
ascertained what they can add to
the common stock. Unless the
"comeouters are IN sufficient num-
bers to make formidable opposi-
tion, the Democracy will have moth
ing to do with them other than to
receive them into its ranks as Dem
ocrats. Nor will any formal over
lures to them be made unless they
first organize as an opposition to
the Republican party, thus dividing
the Republican strength. Should
that be done, ''the Democratic PARTY
will not be found impracticable." In
the meantime "the Democratic party
must have its forces in readiness for
a vigorous Independent campaign"
Even a purblind Republican
should be able to see through the
thus cunningly devised ruse. If the
Republican party should not divide,
theDemocrats will make the fight
on their own hook, though without
the slightest hope of success. If
there should be week secession,
the Democrats will keep their Or
ganization intact, and will welcome
seeding Republicans as recruits,
not as allies. If there should be
formidable opposition faction in the
Republican ranks, the Democrats
will wait until that opposition is
thoroughly organized and the breach
between the two sections beyond
healing. Then, what will the Dem
ocratic party do? Will it consent
to play second fiddle to the numeri-
cally inferior organization of seced-
ing Republicans? Or will it not
rather seize the opportunity, and
seek to push into power between
the ranks of the combating Repub-
lican factions? Can there be any
doubt as to the course that will be
adopted?-Cleveland Herald . E
