HIS NAME IS GRANT.-The Cincinnati
inquirer tells q story about young man
named Grant, whose father resit os in Coz
ington:" it is worthy of remark that Boss
Tweed, Of New York, amasssd q very hand
some competence in very few years through
politics. We wouldn't like to swear that
when a man makes ten million dollars 10
politics in ten years that he does it honestly
We never lost anysleep troubling about Mr.
Tweed. but we 90 know Of gentleman who
went into politics about ten years ago a
bankrupt who is now worth four millions
dollars. One hundred Thousand dollars a
year. without the Investment Of any capital
whatever, is rather favorable. The name cf
this young man is Grant. His father is
post master st Covington. If anybody is
inclined to discredit what We say they can
ask the old gentleman.

Clothes placed fifteen minutes in boiling

half pint of salt, pint of water and gill
Of sulphuric acid. Soon. one-third Of the

which is death to the infection. and will
Permeatc every thread OF the beds, and other
clothing, even feathers and mattresses. The
other two parts of the sul ulphuric acid will
unite with the soda, making sulphite.-
Shut up the room for twenty four hours with
this gas in it and all will be safe. Then
