THE TANNER AND THE CoBBLER,-This
Is the way the Woodstock Post refers to
tho nomination of Grant and Wilson:
Leather is uppermost. The Galena Tan
ner and the Natick Cobbler are fairly on
the war path together. 1t may turn out
that the Tanner has digged his own pit, and
the Cobbler may lose his little awl, but
their "bark Is on the sea-" and, whether it
sinks or not, they are in for the vat offices.
1t is fitting that men of kindred occupa-
tions should work together. A Tanner and
a Cobbler seem but as pair Of "rights and

Kissing Day in Russia.

A correspondent writing from st.
Petersburg at the beginning of the
month, alluding to the festivities
always observed in Russia on Eas-
ter Day, says: OF all Russia, per-
haps the only one who does not
look forward to the prospect Of an
Easter morning with any degree Of
pleasure is the Emperor himself;
for it must be remembered that
this is the great kissing season.
Among real unsophistlcated Rus
slams at Easter, the practice is uni
yeraal between friends and between
masters aud servants. 1t still holds
good at court; and on Sunday, from
about halfpast one to three, the
Emperor might have been seen in
the chapel of the Winter Palace
going through an ordeal, which, in
spite ofhis patience and good hu-
NOR, must have sorely tried his
temper. Think of the number of
kisses he had bestowed during that
hour aud a half! There were, first,
all the officiating priests, then the
members Of the council of state;
next the senator's; then all the gen.
eral officers in Petersburg-whose

time 10 time, for special purposes.
She has proved an admirable dram
attic and musical critic, and has
written editorials on almost every
phase of American life, politics,
and financc-nothing intimidates
her. During the month succeeding
the fire she averaged more than
column and a half day, besides
furnishing matter for two or three
wceklies. Readiness is her strik-
ing trait. She works like lightning
and seldom revises her manuscript
in the least. Her facility and Wig
or are marvellous. She is an Irish
Catholic, a bigot in theology, a rad
ical in politics, and a girl who
seems to have never yet thought of
marrying. She throws off a poem
now and then for q magazine, but
sentiment is one Of her least con-
spicuous qualities. Her editorials
arc terse, nervous, satirical, aggres-
sive, and perfectly in harmony with
the spirit of the age. Without be-
ing conventionally handsome, Miss
Buchanan has q most striking pres
ence, especially when addressing
an audience. Without being weak
ly sensitive she is thoroughly wo-
manly, and is an impersonation Of
the enthusiasm, the wit, the quick
temper, the generosity, the fidelity,
the pluck, the fighting-and over
coming qualities of the North of
ireland. She has Il well-traincd
mind and a very classical educa-
ton, and all she knows is at the end
Of her fingers, ready for instant ap-
plication to the mornings news.
She loves journalism, and declares
that she will stick to it as long as
she lives. In the absence Of the
editor-in-chief and his deputy, she
has sometimes been in charge of
the Erenimy Post for a week at a
time; and, though only twenty-five,
she already attracts attention as the
first woman who has shown wide
familiarity with political and finan-
cial questions, and who has occu-
pied for years, with success and
honor, the chair of a leading edito-
rial writer.

A DANGEROUS MAN.
By CORPORAL BUMP.

Mr.. Sumner says that Grant is bold, bad. dar
gerous man.-[Newspaper.
"A bold, bad man wac Gen. Grant,"
Said Floyd one gloomy night,
As out from Donelson he crept,
And took hasty fight
From Pillows trembling lips there came.
An echo sounding much the same.
And Buekner thought his chief was right,
Nor longer burst maintain the fight:
And then down came the rebel ''bals,"
And from the fort hung stripes and stars.
THAT Grants dangerous man" said they;
And doubtless think the same to-day.
"A bold, bad man is General Grant,
Said Beauregard, one morn,
As from the naughty traitors brow
The victor's wreath was torn;
And from the field his legiOns went,
BY orders Gen. Grant had sent.
Then Shiloh's field was ours again,
Despite the host of rebel men,
Who came an army boasting loud,
But went panic stricken crowd:
For Beauregard and all his men,
Perhaps thought Grant was dangerous then.
"A bold, bad man is General Grant,
Said PembertOn, one day;
"Entrcatics are OF no avail,
He will not 60 away.
A stubborn, mulish, dangerous man
lie wants our rebel hides to TAM"
And still Grants cannon raked the town,
Until the rebel flags came down;
And then our banners. rent and torn,
Were through the streets of Nicksburg borne.
The "bold, bad man." that glorious Fourth"
Sent gladstone tidings to the North.
"A bold, bad man is General Grant,"
And poor Bragg's eyes were dim
With tears; said he, II know
'Tis useless fighting him."
And soon the cheers from Grants brave men
On Lookout's crest, told where and when
The rebel General had to run,
And what that ''bold, bad man. had done.
''That Grants dangerous mani" he said,
As from the field his army fled.
"A bold, bad man is General Grant,
Said Lee, that's plain to see;
He must be very bold, indeed,
To think Of whipping me-"
Then Petersburg and Richmond fell;
Then AppOmattOx-may be-well,
At last our hero's work was done;
The final victory was won.
Perhaps the people may forget
These things, but then, they havnt yet,
They needed, then, such "dangerOus' men,
And think, perhaps, they may again.
"A bold, bad, dangerous man is Grant,"
JEFF. Davis thought the same.
When running OIL in crinOline,
He to the "last ditch came,
A kuKluX's gentle voice was heard,
And--"Grant is dangerous ayerred.
It needs must be that this is so,
For all the rebels ought to know.
Then Hall and Tweed-good honest men
Say "Grant is bold and bad and when
Such men declare 1t, then. forsoOth,
Folks know that Sumner tells the truth.

How the World Will End.

Planets are continually integral
ing diffused materials which they
encounter in their progress through
space, and it had been estimated
that the earth adds to itself nearly
one hundred and fifty billion such
meteoric particles every year.
Secondly, it has been proved that
every planet must be slowly losing
a part of it's molar motion of rota-
ton. The effect of tidal waves,
which are caused by the gravitation
of liquid toward other planetary
bodies, is to retard diurnal rotation;
and, in fact, the terrestrial day is
heightened by reason of the friction
Of the tides, and it is destined in
the remote future to give about 4sO
hours between sunrise and sunset.
The earth is also losing molecular
motion by radiation. That some
terrestrial heat is lost without COM
pensation and very slowly, Of
course-can hardly be doubted, and
for the state Of things thus ultima.
tely to be produced we may find q
parallel in the present condition Of
the moon. That appears to afford
an example Of the universal death
which in an inconceivably distant
future awaits the entire solar sys.
tom. # along with the dissipation
Of the molar and molecular motions,
the planets are also losing angular
velocity, this loss Of motion will
ultimately result in their integration
with the sun. OF ftwo facts which
bear upon the subject, one (familiar
to all students of science) is the
observed retardation of Encke's
comet by the resistance Of the me.
dium through which it moves. The
other. which, SO far rs l know, has
not hitherto been mentioned, is that
all the planets are nearer the sun
than they ought to be, according to
Bodies law, the variation being most
conspicuous, as might be expected,
in the case OF Neptune. 1t is al
least worthy ofnotice that the dis.
crepanoy Is snch as might have
been caused by slow diminution OF
the angular velocities Of the planets
Another fact, that the interplaae,ary
spaces are filled with matter, and
that consequently all planetary
bodies rushing through them mus1
meet with resistance and lose mo-
mentum, proves that immense mo
mentum will be eaten up by tho
resistance foroo. This loss of tan
genital momentum must bring al
tho planets into the sun. As the
planet slowly draws near the sun its
lost tangential momentum Is re-
placed and somewhat more thar
replaced by the added velocity due
to the gravitative force exerted b,
the sun at the shorter distance, Al
last tho planet must strike the sui

What a Chicago Woman is doing

Miss Margcrct f. Buchanan seems
to be, beyond comparison, the most
efficient woman in daily journalism.
For two years now she has written
an average of more than column
of editorial every working day, the
topics ranging through the whole
breadth Of commerce and finance,
politics and foreign affairs, from
playful estimate of the "Possnm Pol
icy," to a solid treatment of the AL
ALBANIA question. Two years ago
she walked into the office of the
Chicago Euening Post and handed
the editor a letter of introduction.
81 would like place among your
editorial WRITER'S" she said. The
editor, seeing before him only q
buxom, pink-faced girl Of twenty
three, naturally inquired, "What
can you do. "Anything that needs
doing on a newspaper" she replied
audaciously. "What experience
have you had?" was the next ques-
ton. "None to speak off, she re.
piled, "but can do it-try me" !"
She was assigned desk, paper and
pencil, and in twenty minutes pro-
dgced an article entitled "Thc Mich
igan schlsm," q full account Of the
congressional contest between the
Republican Strickland and the boil
ter briggs, in the sixth district,
with caustic comments thereon. 1t
was strong, masculine editorial,
and was accepted with the words,
''you may call again." The next
day she walked into the Office, and
resumed the desk. She wrote an
article on the "Last Tariff Dodge ~
which was received with amaze
ment, and published next day. The
editor, Mr. Blakely, now ampiayed
her regularly, and she showed that
she could do a mans work for q
mans pay. For almost two years
she has been the principal edltori-
| nj assistant, invading other depart
ments of the paper however, from
