BLAlR's idea is. queer one, to run
William Cullent Bryant against
Grant as the figure.head Of the sore.
head Republicans and discouraged
Democrats. on q platform Of free
trade. Mr.. Bryant il as venerable as
Horace Greeley; he, too, partakes of
the bran-brcad which cheers bnt not
incbriates, he neither affects pro!an,-
ty, prize stra wbcrries, protection nor
prcposterous pantaloons. Being a
poet. he could send down his annual
messages in rhyme, dcvoting one an
TO to San Domingo, and another to
the Reduction OF the Debt, and could
write his own campaign songs.
Thanks to Eran.bread. lie has lived
so long that most Of his relations arc
dead. lie never was a tanner. In
every respect Il. is superior to Mr..
Grant as a fashionable candidate.
BY all means let ns have Mr.. Bryant

following resume of the Message:
The third annual me sage Of Pres.
ilcnt Grant will he found in our col
un.ns this morning. There are un-
miStakable Indications that the text
has been seriously married in trans
m~itting,t hy telegraph, hut the read
or will have little difficulty in under
standing IFS general pnrport.
There is evidently no attempt at
display. The President goes direct
ly to his work, using the tcwcst pos
siblc words to lay bare the situation
on every topic touched, and in con
vey,ng his suggestions and recon-
mcndations. l. is eminen;ly a com
mon sense document, II that the
people can comprehend. and so CON
else and briei that every citizen will
lie prompted to avail himself of such
a candid and official exposition OF
public affairs.
We have not time or space. at tn"
late hcur at which we write. even to
alluac to all the topics presented.
The principal features are. his con
gratulations ovcr the treaty with
Great Britain; the instructions 10
naval commanders to protect the
lives and property of our citizens inn
perille1 in Cuba; the reduction ofthe
national deb: over eighty six millions
ut dollars during the pat year; the
reduction Of interest on the same
seventeen millions since the first OF
March, 1869; the recommendation to
abolish the internal revenue tax OK
ccpt on wines, splrituous and malt
liquors AMI tobacco: tn place the nee
~.cssarics OF life on the free list; to reg
.,,late the salaries Of collectors of Gus
TOMS so as to prevent abuses for Off
.rial gam: TO consolidate the tcle-
graph with the postal system; the
justification of the In Klux law; the
firm position taken against the furtii-
or tolerance of polygamy in Utah;
the suggestion Of a humane and ciyi
lizing Indian policy; the recommcn
.dation that all disabilities imposed
by the fourteenth amendment be re
moved; AMI that general laws be
passed. tor the protection Of immi-
grafton.
The frank and manly tone, which
characterizcs these recommendations,
and the reasons by whic', they are
supported, are well calculated to a r
,ry conviction as To their justice and
wisdom, and cannot fail To enhance
the popularity of. the President, and
10 add to the success Of his admin
;istration. The message, as a whole
we are confident. will seriously puz-
zle tn. captious critics OF the orposi-
ton. and to tend to harmonic and
strengthen the Republican party.

Paris has been very much astonish-

Sergeant Hof, was In reality Bavarian
lieutenant who was playing the part of
a spy. For long time Hoff was the
object Of universal admiration. Gen.
Trochu conferred the Legion of Honor
upon him for having slain 80 Prussians.
Gen. Schmitz gave him an official bull
letin, and he was interviewed by jour
nalists. Hof generally used to 60 out
alone at night, and bring back helmets
and muskets Ill proof of the amount of
| business he had performed. On the
ID of December Hoff, much to the grief
OF his comrades, disappeared, and the
government was greatly blamed for

The scotch Thistle
