Swiss SCHOOL LIFE.-The festivals an /
holidays of q Switzer are connected with
his life at school Each change Is made
the pretext for feast On going to school
there is feast; on leaving school
there Is a feast at every stage Of his
advance there is feast There is 4 vaca-
ton feast, assembling feast; when new
teacher comes there is a feast, and when
teacher leaves there IS feast. The school
is made TO him by public and private acts
a center of all happy thoughts and times.
it shares the joys Of home and the rewards
if church. At school a Swiss boy finds
his mates with whom he learns to sing and
play, to drill and shoot The teacher Is
to him a father. With his teacher he will
grow into a man, assisted on his way with
care and love, unmixed with either foolish
fondness or paternal pride. With him,
and with his mates, the lad will take his
country strolls, collecting rocks and plants,
will push his boat across the lake, and dive
into the secrets of the ancient water-folk
will pass by train into some neighbOrlng
commune where the arts are other than he
sees at home. All bright and pleasant
things are grouped about him, and in after
time, when farm and counter occupy his
cares, these classroom days will seem to
him the merriest of his life. The school,
the pupil and the teacher are forever in
the public eye. The scholars promenade
the streets with music, flags and song.
All men make room for them, glory in
them. as the highest product of their State.

GoING TO CHURCH.-Prepare your toilet
for church with extreme care. Wear your
very gayest. 1t is more important to do
so at church than at operas and balls, be-
cause there are more people at the former
than at the latter, people less accustomed
to seeing splendid garments, aud who will
appreciate such display.
By all means anoint your head with
oil. Did not the ancienls dc so Any
grease is better than none; if very rancid
and pungent, SO much the better it viii
make some weak woman sick, aud perhaps
she will faint, and that will inuye to the
glory of the clergyman, and the reporter
will put IN the papers that he preached 50
entraucingIy that lady tainted, etc.
Use perfumes. Some people like them,
some do not. The former will be graft
fed. the latter will have something by
which to remember the service.
y. B.-Gentlemen should always smoke
after dressing, just before going to church.
The reason Is obvious
Shoes that " creak" are the things to
wear. Tney announce your coming, like
4 chamberlain at q grand reception. The
pastor then knows that his congregation is
increasing.
Take the seat at the end of pew, and
tasten the door. When it becomes neces-
slry for another TO enter, you will rise,
tumble at the latch of the pew, drop your
cane-t always carry a cane to cdurchl-
pick it up, gather up your hat, keep
things in interesting suspense, accumulate
group in the aisle, and generally in
crease the delightful excitement Of the oc-
casion. Always insist on keeping tae end
oil the pew next the door. Why should
that selfish man who wants to lounge
against the end ofthe pew have his seI6sa-
ness gratided? You must teach him self
denial
Next to cane, the most necessary thing
to carry to church is watch 1t must be
gold watch, with a long chain. You
must wear 1t in tue FOB Of your plntaloons,

Is Senator Wilson q Man OF
TrMth

In Kendallville, Indiana, where Senator
Wilson addressed seven thousand people, nc
made the following allusion to Grants first
nomination:
"We went to Grant and said to MN,
General YOU must be our candidate. Ills
answer was. Il have no public experience.
There are hundreds Of men in the country

better take somebody else.' l say here, be-
fore man and God, that that was General
Grants position four years ago. We thrust
the candidacy for the Presidency upon him
we made him take it-(cheers and the ma
ton took him." (Cheers.]
Of Grants life and habits he thus spoke
"Nineteen-twenteths Of the accusations
made against him are wholly and entirely
groundless. General Grant is what the world

THE Springfield (Mass.) Republican Gree
ley paper) is not inclined to let the subject
of Gratz Browns drunkenness at New Haven
drop. 1t says:
"The Connecticut papers furnish addi-
tional, and apparently conclusive, evidence
of Gratz Browns drunkenness at New Haven
during Commencement week. We note that
80 far the Liberal organs" wholly ignore
the subject, and apparently seek to conceal
the disgraceful facts from their readers. But
they cannot prevent them from becoming gen.
orally known, nor from working great harm to
the reform cause. If Brown does not back
out, or is not kicked out, Mr.. Greeley will lose
thousands Of votes in consequence of his as
sociate's disgraceful condition at New Ha-

Creeley's Epitapli.

Is Greeley dead? No; but he has COM
posed the inscription which he wishes to
have placed upon his tombstone. 1t runs as
follows:
"May it be written on my grave that
never was follower of the Democratic party,
and lived and died in nothing its debtor"
Mr.. Greeley must revise his epitaph. His
apostasy has rendered it obsolete. 1t should
read:
Here lies Horace Greeley, who bartered
away his principles for the empty honor of a
Democratic nomination for President, and
who died debtor to the Democratic party an
ignominious name.

LipDinc0tt's Magazine.
The Septem Der Number.

The opening paper in the September issue
Of Lippincott's Magazine furnishes, under the
title Of William PENIS Low Countless"
most agreeable account of the new park city,
named Ridley, which is rising into existence
in the neishborhood of Chester, Pennsylva-
mia. The main object of the paper is to de-
scribe the method by which the proprietors
of Ridley propose to unite the convenience of
city homes with the freedom, beauty, and
healthfulness Of country residences. Many
highly interesting remarks on landscape gar
dening are incidentally presented, and much
curious and attractive antiquarian informa-
ton is interviewer with the article. SWAN
derings in Palestine" is highly interesting
and profusely illustrated account of Journey
ings 10 the Holy Land, by one of the most
experienced Of modern travellers in this Sec
ton Of the world. "The Great American
Hotel" by Ralph Keller, is a caustic, hui
morous, and, at the same time, a truthful de-
scription of the pcculiarities of American ho-
tells. This article is at once lively, inform
ing, and suggestive. Mrs. Sarah b. Wister's
contribution. A Summer between the Four
Seas" is very refreshing and intelligent ac-
count of a summers sojourn in England. 1t
sabounds in vivid delineation of scenery, man.
ners, and customs, and offers much material
for pleasing reflection. The series of papers
descriptive of the Private Art Collections
of Philadelphia" is still continued, furnish
ing always rich store Of delicate and search
ing criticism, couched in style of rare lite
rary excellence. "Reform on Two Stools"
discusses, in spirited style, the present po-
litical situation with regard to the opposing
candidates for the Presidency, sketching, in
q free and vigorous manner, the weakness
and follies of both parties, and contrasting
their respective claims to popular favor. The
department Of fiction is ably sustained in this
issue OF the magazine. Besides the cOntinu,
alton of Mr.. Blacks serial novel, "The
Strange Adventures of PhaetOn." there is
translation of Victorien Sardou's "Black
PEARL" which is a story of extraordinary in.
terest, thoroughly dramatic in its plot and
style, and marked by the most accurate and
beautiful delineations Of character. This
story is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant
and captivating that have yet been presented
to the American public. "No. 25," story
BY Sara Conant, is a clear and interesting
production, according well with the prevail
ing taste of the majority Of readers at thi,
season. The poems in this number of the
magazine are "Andrea's Mistake" by Mrs
Margaret ]. Preston, and "The Flight of &
Bird" by Mile W. Carpenter. Both are
very enjoyable. "Our Monthly Gossip" dis
plays its usual excellence.

Blanton Duncan, representing very large
number of prominent Democrats, who are de-
termined to put trusty Democrats in nom-
ination in place of the Tammany candidates,
says:
In the North the leaders Of this move
ment are known to be melted by jealousy,
rage, and revenge, because of their failure to
receive the dispensing of patronage from the
Government. The entire coalition is a rope
Of sand, with no cohesive power but that OF

Of their condemnation upon similar bargains.

GRANT AS A STATESMAN.
As a statesman, some of his opponents
say he has failed, but they fail to show
wherein. And, without personality, or the
slightest disposition or desire to awaken
animosities, or carry thought back to strife,
l may be pardoned for asking these men
was it in his correspondence with Pember
ton? Was it with Lee at Appoma:tox7
Was it with Johnston? do not mean Andy.
Laughter l mean the greater, Joseph E.
Johnston? Was it while he was Secretary
Of War, when President johnson bore tes-
timony that che Grant had saved the
Treasury, during his short service, three
millions of dollars?" Was it when he said
"Let us have peace?' Was it in any of
his messages to Congress, by all who have
read them, acknowledged to be State papers
unsurpassed for clearness, craftsmanship,
and directness Of expression? Was it in the
negotiations of the Washington treaty :?
And has it been shown in the economy of
his administration? In the management of
the finances of the nation and in the reduc.
ton of the public debt? In the reduction
and collection and disbursement of the
revenues? And in the management of the
Indian affairs ofthe Government, originated,
organized, and carried out by himself?
repeat, no common man holds the helm OF
State, the reins of this great Government,
and executes the powers of President, &C.
complishing SO quietly, SO unostentatiously,
so vigorously, without being in the posses.
sion of character. ability, and mental power
