a HARD LOOK FOR UNCLE SAM.
The Pacific Railroad is about played
out. The Government after enor-
nous subsidies in land and money,
has been obliged to pay about Sl2,
O0O,0 900 interest on the company,s
bonds. Mr.. Boutwell, says this inter-
est must be refunded. The Company
refuses to refund dollar, and threat
ems to let the road go, under the
mortgage, if the demand is pressed.
The Cincinnati Times, Radical says;
Sell the whole road for the interest
and amount of mortgage upon it, or
for what it will bring, and let the
government.bid it in, provided no
company will bid too high. 1t is
probably worth $4,000 mile. No
company could afford topay more for
it. 1t: has cost the government from
$4,000 to $4,000 a mile, besides
the value of the land granted. What
it would sell for might pay twenty
per cent to the holders of the first
mortgage bonds. A profitable in
vestment for the people +!
The company has made its mem
bers and many of its friends rich out
of it. They will soon have accom-
plished what they intended by the
''grab" and will be glad to have it
sold. This accounts for their refusal
to pay interest on the bonds. Thei.
intention is to make it cost the peo-
pie 100000, 00O--S250,0 100000
subsidy and compound interest, and
and as much more in land.

DECLINE OF THE WEALTHY FAM

The following is from Southern
letter;
'Natchez is sadly changed. The
aristocracy, proud and exclusive,
yet generous and chivalric, have
disappeared. Their palaces are
desolate, and in their ornamented
grounds the owl and the fox have
their nests, Large plantations, once
yielding a net income of from TWEEN
ty-fve thousand dollars to fifty
thousand dollars, now lie uncultiva-
ted, or deformcd with little, half cul-
tivatcd patches of cotton and the
graves of the household, once dec
grated with the rarest flowers, are
now overgrown with bramblos. A

WHO KNOWS =?

Despite the opposition Of church
and other prejudices, the woman's
suffrage question is rapidly unfold
ing strength. England is in advance
of us in this movement. Is it pos
sible that a country under the sway
of a crown shall be first to deal
Justly with woman?
Should the time ever come in the
United States when giving the
franchise to woman can be made a
political interest to the govern
mental wire-pullers in power, then
there will be a Haunting Of senti-
ment upon the Divine justice of
equal rights to all, expressive of
most disinterested desire. to move
along the wheels of right and pro-
gression, while, if the thing can be
done, bribing and the buying OF
votes win be going on behind the
curtains. Ifthe common objections
to women voting be true in other
respects, namely, that she will grow
coarse and less lovable, let it be
earnestly hoped in this case she will
not become masculine and sell hel
vote.
Perhaps one reason so many
long-headed thinkers are against
female suffrage is, because they feal
to allow an element in the politics
arena, which they may not be able
to manage in all sorts Of rascally
games and schemes for money
making out Of the Government, and
election Of tools to ofice.-Eln

A DINNER AND A KISS.

"I have brought you dinner father
The blacksmith's daughter said,
As she took from her arm the kettle
And lifted its shining lid.
There's not any pie or pudding,
So will give you this"
And upon his toil-worn forehead
She left the childish kiss.
The blacksmith took off his apron
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in bis humble food,
While all about him were visions
Full of phophetic bliss,
But he never thought of magic
In hiss little deughter's kiss.
While she with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away,
Stopping at sight of squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay;
And ] thought how many shadow
Of life and fate we would miss,
Ii always our frugal dinners
Were seasoned with kiss.

TRAINING.

NOJuluS Us y Iuio 10 uOrc dOSuIu
than to watch a man in state OF
training. The system of training is
often very arbitrary, and men have
to submit to be sworn at, as though
they were pickpockets, in case they
have been detected in eating pastry.
But training is absolutely necessary;
and it would be a good thing if the
whole British race of gourmand and
gourmet would submit to it. BY
training, a man is able to do easily
and with little effort what otherwise
he might be unable to do, even after
a dangerous spasmodic effort. In
training, man picks up his first
general notions about his health,
and the relations which his outward
belongings bear to it. There is a
great difference, however, between
the way in which a University man
and in which "cad" trains. A
University man has to knock off his
feed, but poor man has to feed up
to imbibe the port and porter
which the ,other must not touch.
The prohibitions used to be re-
morseless, and the rules frequently
yexatious; but men are now more
sensible and base their di t.y on the
food to which a man has b zen ac-
customed. Condime1.s a'e forbid
den, as they provoke thirst, and
formerly'a man was limited in his
fluids, but the barbarous and dis
tressing custom of "stinting the Ii
quor" is pretty generally given up.
Smoking is limited, but not alto
gether forbidden. The trainer
shows good deal of good sense
which society at large might profit
ably initiate. Take plenty OF sleep,
but not too much; don't get up too
early; mind and tub; take tea in
preference to coffee; and never
touch spirits; don't take thick crusIs
or cheese, or sugar, or butter. Sea-
| bathing is best, and next to that
weir or running stream, but avoid
still water. The trainer jud;ciousl;
prohounces that venison and cham
pagne arc the ] est possible Diet for
the trainee. There Is supei I
ton in favor OF eggs, which are said
to improve the wind. 1t must be
Remembered that II aim g ana
has to unbuild his ordinary heart
and lungs, and build up another set
shat shall be most adapted for TIE
special object which be has in view.
Tie simple object is to reduce the
fat and set up the muscle. Severe
training often knocks UP man
severely, but still oftener the going
ont of training, the violent indul-
gence in everything which has been
forbidden, does much more harm.
The training for athletic sports is
quite as severe as for the boat-race.
If there is distingllishable shade,
it is more severe.-London Society.

CHOICE SELECTIONS.
GENERAL GRANT-THE PEO-
PLIES CANDIDATE.

In 1868 Republican politicians
in Washington and elsewhere, espe-
cially those who We're not wholly
satisfied with the Administration of
Abraham Lincoln, AMI thoaght that
the Government might be placed in
better hands, began to cast about
for a nominee to lie presented to
the people in the next Presidential
campaign. Mr.. Lincoln had not
succeeded in pleasing all his polite
al friends: some of them were weak
kneed and doubtful as to the future;
others had probably been disap-
pointed in their hopes OF Govern.
ment patronage; not a few of them
wanted scapegoat on which to
lay the delays. mistakes, and failures
OF the war; 50 were frightened by
Democratic Evaporation and clamor;
doubtless, others fancied that a new
man III the field, if successful, would
afford them a better opportunity to
gain their own political ends: and,
possibly, here and there enc may
have felt secret aspiration for the
Lonors Of The White House. Several
names were mentioned as possible
candidates. When, however, the
Republican convention met in the
summer of 1864, all eyes and all
hearts were fixed on Abraham
Lincoln as the proper man to be
his own successor. The dOubters
had all disappeared; political COM
planners were silenced; all other
names were completely distanced;
and, when the nomination was an
nounced to the public, the Repub-
iican press throughout fhe country
accepted it with one universal ac-
claim.
The secret of this change and
reject unanimity consists in the
simple fact that Mr.. Lincoln was
the Peoples CANDIDATE The con-
vention merely recorded the decree
of the popular. The people who
had once elected abraham Lincoln
to the Presidency, more than ever
believed in his sturdy honesty, his
unflinching patriotism, and solid
common sense. They had no idea
of swapping horses at that Important
junc.ure. Had the convention pre-
sented any other name, the great
body OF Republican voters would
have pronounced the act one OF
egregious folly. Whatever scheminy
politicians might think or say, Mr..
Lincoln, from first to last, was
strong with the people.
We believe that the same fact
holds true to-day of General Grant
and that he will be re-nominated
and reelected to the Presidency
because lie is the PEOPLES CANDIDATE
He may not have satisfied all the
politicians-a task which would
battle the wit of an archangel; YET
the great heart of the Republican
party is with General Grant as q
true man and faithful executive
and, unless he shall reverse his own
antecedents, it will stay there. The
Democracy will have to hunt for a
candidate; butthe Republican party
Will need to do no hunting. The
man for the hour is already furnish.
ed to its hand. Though we expet,
to support whatever candidate the
national Republican convention NAV
select VIC take this early oppor-
tunlty of expressing an opinion; and
1T Is, that ULYSSES S. GRANT is the
man whom the vor popui of the
party will demand, and whom its
