PRESIDENT GRANT addressed note
to the Colored Civil Rights meeting at
Washington on Thursday, in which he
says: 81 beg to assure you that /
sympathize most cordially in any effort
to secure for all people, of whatever
race, nationality or color, the exercise
of those rights to which every citizen
should be entitled Can our colored
citizens obtain from Mr.. Greeley any
more distinct and positive assurance of
sympathy? And would the company
in which he at present trains be likely
to give it any greater weight? "

the same as alcoholic liquors, Is not in
temperance within the meaning of the
statute" and that should the prayer be
grantedperhaps the next application
would be on the ground of intemper-

Gently, that of the bones of a lost child.
Last fall a little boy an only child,
wandered from home. Search was
made for him, but in vain. The be-
reaved parents concluded that the In
dians had taken him, and entertained
a hope Of yet seeing him, until two
weeks since, the skull and spine of a
child We're found on the prairie, four
miles from the home Of the little
wanderer. Search was then made for
the remaining bones, fragments of
which were found near a wolf den. ~

LoYpsvILnE,O., May 10, 1872.

Mr.. EDITOR: There is one circum-
stance in regard to our public convey
ances that has caused much dissatisfac-
ton to travellers and also very mortify-
ing to the feelings of the people along
this route of the National Road, that is
the very poor condition of the stock
run to the through line to Cambridge,
and from wide range of opinion of
the people along the route and also
from travellers. / am confident that
the proprietor not only outrags the
public feelings, but Injuries his own Pc
cuniary interests by not having the
best of stock on the line; for it is a COM
mon expression that no one will pat
ronize it if they can avoid doing so. The
stock is not only of very inferior
grade and unsuited 10 the business.
But are they poorly fed, at least that is
the common opinion. The proprietor
further Gutrages the feelings, not only
OF the public and travellers along the
route, but also of his own drivers, by
continuing in use on the line q beast to-
tally unit, and which It is cruelty to
use in the manner which he does and
it is the intention if this course be per-
sisted in hereafter to prosecute him un-
der the law to punish cruelty to ami
mals. This communication is not
made With the intention to injure the
proprietor of the line, but rather for
his benefit, and to rectify very unde-
sirable state of affairs on one of our
principle lines of travel.

IT Is WITH REGRET that we announce
the death of of Mrs. Margaret Caldwell,
Mr.. Alex. Downing and Mr.. John
McCaskey. AS Christians, Citizens,
and Friends they leave pure record
and no eulogy from our pen is need
ed.
Mr.. Will Frater who so narrowly es-
capped being killed by his horse falling,
was kicked in the face on Thursday,
and seriously if not dangerously injur-
ed. As VIII is a general fayorite his
many friends will be sorry to hear OF
his misfortune.-Mr. James McNary,
Sen., was also severely wounded in the
hand while engaged in pruning
trees.
On WEDNESDAY, eve many persons
were startled by hearing a rushing
noise as OF a coming storm, on looking
skyward the air was found to be full OF
large black bugs, swarms of which
were passing over. The inference was
that they were humbugs returning
from the Cincinnati Convention.
THE STONE CRUsHER is a success,
and Mr.. McLain thinks its capacity
will prove fifteen rods of stone per day.
We are informed that the engineer.
Mr.. Dawson, has expressed himself
satisfied with the stone delivered
from it, and the only disappointed par
ties are those who so earnestly and
eagerly predicted a failure. ~
MUCH IN LIFrLE.-We read once of
a man who had little pig, he gave it
a bucket of slop, which It drank; he
then placed both in the bucket and it
was only full. We found a very small
boy reclining on the sunny slope of a
cellar door, in his dirty paw he held a
slice of bread about two inches thick,
and literally bedaubed with "grecery
butter Gnd sweetness. When the
sweetness run off he licked his paw,
then extending his jaws to their utmost
he would detach a mOrsel, and
after the pain subsidized, would chew,
and gaze enraptured on the remainder.
At last it fell, and as sad experience
has taught us with the good side down.
To say that that boy swore would be
him, he more than
swore, he "profaned." We admonish-
ed him. He marked the place where
he left off on the bread, consigned us
to the place where ice never accumu-
lates on the pavements, inquired if our
friends knew we were away from home.
and said when he wanted us us he'd
send for us. He hasn't sent for US get.

MARK TWAIN once said that the
ghosts of the dead who had been bur-
led in a small cemetery in Buffalo and
who had been shamefully neglected,
returned one evening and removed
their bones to another resting place.
A short turn through the Methodist
graveyard of our town would convince
anyone that ifdead bones had power
they would gather up
what bits of coffin were left them and
emigrate to some more congenial spot.
We are certain that no ghosts travel
round or over that spot Of ground after
dark, for long ago they would have be-
come discouraged by tunbling into
pitfalls and falling over tumbling
stones. Perhaps the huge rankbriers that
would have been excellent safeguards
against wolves would not have troubled
them. It has been suggested that
there be meeting called of those who
have relatives buried there to consider
the propriety of dressing up the graves
and making them habitable at least.
The dead generally have sufficient
society of snakes and bats without
building houses for them by neglecting
the spot where many of our dearest
friends lie. Some one who under
stands cleaning up such places and
dressing up graves, should be employ
ed rather than each one attending to
his own share of the work. Who viii
move In this affair?

BISHOP WHELAN, of Wheeling was
on the witness stand last Saturday in
case of Kinsley against Whelan. Sew
eral years ago Kinsley had got into his
possession a large amount Of Ohio
County bonds and not being able to
dispose of them to an advantage he
went to Whelan to borrow money. AS
collateral security he gave the bishop
$4,000 in bonds for loan of 900. At
ter sevral years he came to the bishop
and offered to pay the loan with interest
and redeem the bonds. This the bishop
would not agree to, claiming the bonds
for himself, Kinsley being member of
the same church (Catholic) did not like
to enter suit, but after consultation with
Archbishop Purcell of Cincinnati, he
decided to try what effect the law
would have upon the bishops sense of
Justice. The Jury after few minutes
consultation gave verdict of $500 in
favor Of the Plaintiff.
Bishop Whelan is remarkable look
ing man, of great personal dignity, and
fine physique. He wore rich suit of
broadcloth, massive gold chain with a
cross attached and very costly garnet
ring.
