The New York World says of
President Grants chances for re-
election: "Hc will get the nomi-
nation because his Republican
enemies dare not oppose him
with any vigor; and when he is
once declared the regular candi-
date, We shall see nothing in any
Republican journal but servile
praises of Il man whom many of
them dcspise and dctest. Of
course he will be an easy candi-
date to beat if the Democratic
party bring out Il strong and able
man against him."
The Hon. William Parsons,
now in Paris, represents tho story
of destruction as greatly cxag-
geratcd. Paris is rs beautiful rs
in it's very best days. When we
hear of the Tuileries and grand
old buildings having been dcmol
ished, one ought to remembe1
that this capital of wondrous re
sources has been adding an,
adding to its architectural treas
ures every hour for the last TWEEN
ty years. One great structur
destroyed no longer intercept
the view to q finer one behind.

SENsELEss SUPERsTITIoN.-In Eng
land recently, the corpse Of a drowned
man having been brought to land, a
woman brought to the spot her son,
afflicted with wens upon the neck.
She obtained Of the Coroner permission
that the boy should draw his hand
seven times across the neck Of the de-
ceased. This, II foolish, was at least
harmless. Another recent instance Of
folly with disastrous results Is record
ed. A man had died of typhoid fever.
A boy afflicted with wens was brought
to the side of the body and the dead
hand was placed upon his neck. He
took the disease in consequence, and
the malay vas communicated to the
family and spread through the whole
neighborhood. The disease was of q
violent type, and many deaths fol-
lowed. Such things, in the nineteenth
century, seem incredible, but this oc-
currence is vouched for, and no doubt
took place. Perhaps, after all, 1t Is
not much more seRselsss than many
customs which still obtain, even in our
own midst. Not being attended with
disastrous consequences, we do not
hear of, or note them. But the folly
Is no less absurd. The superstition
which perpetuates the idolatry of the
pagan ages dsfles education and Chris
tianity. ..

lErUm 0o ho0Oru, January ON.
Thirty to forty men are now lying
on the broad Of their backs sick, owing
to being loaded, caused by working in
the mines Of this District. The pecu-
-liarity Of the mines here are that men
on an average cannot work over twenty
days in any mine or mill In the Dis
trict without suffering from an attack
Of leading. Whether this Is caused by
foul air or like cause we have not yet
a%scertalned fora certainty, but Judge
that 1t 10 owing to the peculiar kind Of
rock or ore In which they work. Min
ers will have to use the utmost care In
keeping regular in their habits Of all
kinds, and when. an attack starts In,
let them start In with the doctors adj
vice Immediately. By observing this
necessary caution, they will save them
selves many a day Of suffering.
We were called on last evening to
partake of wine, cake, cigars, ETC., in
the private room of the Capitol, with
Ike James, Munroe, and all the rest of
the Boundary Line boys, who were
having a high old time. After listen
ing to q good song-we know it was
good, for 1t was 800 miles long, and
sung to the tune of "When Johnny
Comes Marching Home we were
obliged to leave them, much to our re-
gret, having . long nights work before
us. May they have many a line to
run. "And we'll all feel gay when
the Boundary Line Is rum"
On Monday morning last, just as a
lot of drills and bars bad reached the
surface at the Washington claim, or
No. 0, one Of the drills fell from the
tub, and, slipping through the space
where the rope passes, fell down the
shaft a distance Of eighty feet. Two
men were working In the shaft at the
time, but hearing the noise, managed
to dodge back In the Drift thereby
escaping the danger. IYie carelessness
was In not having the iron bars prop
erly tied before being holsted. Miners
exposing themselves 50 much cannot
be too careful.
Robert Apple has been seriously Ill
for some time back, but Is now rapidly
recovering. Thinking 4 change Of air
may be Of benefit to him, he has re-
solved to make q trip East. He leaves
for Chicago on Monday next, to stop
about two months there.

opinion is general that he will be con-
