An exchange states that a Mrs. Wood, oil
Millsburg, Ohio, has received $4,000 from sa-
loon keepers who sold whiskey to her husband.
Now let Mr.. Wood drink up the money, and
then another set of suits for damages would
probably foot up to 5000 600 or more.
After all, is the world so very absurd in
its love of pretty women? Is woman so very
ridiculous in her chase after beauty? pref
ty woman is doing woman's work in the
world, but not making speeches, nor making
puddings, but making life SUMMER and more
beautiful. Man has foresworn.
A San Francisco letter writer in relation
to earthquakes, says: Heterogeneous para
lakes prismatically converging are not due to
the sicilcious introduction OF photospherical as
teroids, but rather to parabolic qualification of
igneous sygma"-of which there can be no
doubt.
= Mrs. Cooper, of New York, was severely
burned year ago about the face and neck,

THE VICE PRESIDENCY Recent declarations
concerning the habits of the Tammany candi-
date for Vice-Presdency causes the Lewiston
(Maine) Journal TO remark that the liability of
the death Of President, and the elevation of
the Vice President to that high Office, ought TO
make every man as careful in casting bis vote fol-
Vice President as for President. Now, we can
hardly believe that any intelligent friend of the
Cincinnati ticket believes that it would be safe
to put Gratz Brown in place where he is liable
to be called to the Presidency. Three times in
the past twenty-five years the Vice President has
been called to take the Presidential chair. Oh
the manifest uuftneSs of Gratz Brown for such a
position there can he no honest difference oil
opinion. His personal habits are VIGOROUSLY
bad. And in making ;his statement we do not
catch up mere gossip Or 'belief," but we refer to
published testimony that is positive-testimony
referring to acts within few weeks. In this
respect the two tickets stand in marked contrast.
The character ofHenry Wilson is above reproach.
His moral and political integrity above sus-
picion. He has shown political craftsmanship of
high order No one would have the least fear,
should the reins OF government fall from the
hands of the President that he would be incom-
petent to take them up and bold them, to the
honor and interest OF the Republic. This fact
alone should cause thinking men to pause before
committing themselves TO the support of the Gin
cinnati nominees

Mgs- The President has addressed letter to
the Hon. j. j. Bryan, Mayor of Chattanooga,
in which be expresses his regret that he and
the members of his Cabinet will not find it
practicable to accept the kind invitation of the
Mayor and Board of Trade of the city of Chat
tanooga to visit that city. The President in
conclusion says: "On my part appreciate the
com pliment, doubly so because it is independ
ent of political or party considerations, at a
time too when party feeling runs high. l
should enjoy visit to Chattanooga under any
circumstances, and particularly so as the guest
of the citizens without respect to party. My
desire is to see harmony, concord and prosper
ity everywhere in our common country"

On Guard.

Mr.. Take-it-easy, If some ono should tell you
it made no difference to you who is elected to
Congress, or what he did when he should get
there, or what the entire Congress shall do at the
next session, or what is the course in any partic-
ular that directs the policy of the next admins
tration of our nations affairs, you would be will
ling to think the fellow fool, or that he was do
ing bis level best to tell you in very offensive
way that you are too destitute of correct appre-
citation Of your duties TO yourself, to society and
to your country to be entrusted with the posses
sion of the elective franchise. But if you are
willing to become practically cipher in political
arithmetic by staying away from primary meet
ings and nominating conventions, you only il
lustrate that your accuser is right.
fyou are willing to let others originate the
programme that eliminates in national legisla-
ton aud shapes the destinies of the Republic,
your act plainly says ''it is no difference to you
who is sent to Congress" Ifyou do not attach
importance enough to the nomination of members
of Congress to use two or three hours in going to
the primary meeting that convenes for that pur-
pose, your conduct plainly declares that you do
not care what your Representative does when he
gets in Congress. Il you are too Indifferent
about the selection of your Representative to be
willing to give little time and attention to the
matter, your course justi6es your fellows in say
ing that you do not care what the next Congress
shall do when it convenes. II you make it
thing so trivial that you do not deem it worth
your attention or time or influence for half day
in two years, your neighbors and the community
to which you owe duty have perfect right to
charge you with the crime of exercising supreme
indifference concerning the policy that dictates
the doings of the administration and directs the
veal or woe of the nation.
You would not care to have these charges made
directly against you by an individual. Yet they
are strictly true 1t is everybody's duty to at
tend to these things. 1t is necessity that some
body performs it. In shifting the responsibility
from your shoulders, you do others injustice by
having them do your duty, while you resp cor
responding benefit with them in the general well
fare. You have no more right in point of politi-
cal ethics to do this than you have to ask some
one to 60 to the shop or the mill while you pillow
corn or harvest wheat at home. The healthiest
condition of party is that in which all of its
members exert their influence at the primary
meetings.

Grant and Iona Branch,

Mr.. E. H. Patterson, who represents the SEQ
vile Manufacturing Company in Chicago, in Or
der to satisfy himself as to the truth or falsty of
the report that x-Collector Thomas Murphy had
presented to General Grant his Long Branch res
idence, Murphy being subsequently, appointed
Collector by the President, and also the oft
repeated report that President Grant took great
interest in horse-raceS and frequently attended
the races at Long Branch, recently wrote letter
of inquiry to personal friend of his in New
York, Who he was aware, was personally cog
infant of the facts. The reply is as follows:
OFFICE OF HOLMES LIssBERGER,
Importers and Dealers in Ingot, Copper, |
Tin, Lead, etc., 255 & 257 Pearl street,
New YORK, July 10. 1872.
Nh. E. q. PATTERsoN-Dear Sir II enclose
herewith a letter from Mr.. Mortimer Hendricks,
who has resided at Long Branch for several
years, and has lived quite near TO Gen. Grant,
and knows of what he affirms. He tells me-
Furthermore, that Gen. Grant is living in quiet
way at Long Branch, and in such manner as
to insure the respect of all his neghbors and has
neUer been at horse race there or eUen Uisted the
track You are at liberty to make any use of
this letter you wish, but the facts are as stated
Yours truly, SAMUEL HOLMES.
OFFICE OF MORTIMER HENDRICKS,
No. 249 Pearl ST., N. Y, July 10, 1872.
SAMUEL HOLMES, EsQ-My Dear Sr:-In re-
ply to your inquiry of this date, furnish you
with what information | can relative to the facts
of the case.
The property at present occupied by General
Grant at Long Branch was acquired by him, by
purchase, of Mr.. Howard Potter, son of Arch
bishop Potter, and partner in the eminent and
respectable banking firm of Brown Brothers &
Co., this city and London. Price, $40, 900.
Mr.. Thomas Murphy neOer decided nor contri6u-
ted cent toDcard its purchase. At that time he
owned no property at Long Branch but occu-
pied my villa, opposite the Presidents, since
which time he has purchased considerable prop
erty, partly for speculation.
The rumor you allude TO in respect to the
President receiving this property as a gift, is
false in every particular-without the slightest
foundation in fact. Having resided at Long
Branch every summer for the past twelve years,
and knowing all the parties, am in a position
to know all abont the matter.
Yours, very respectfully,
MORTIMER HENDRICKS.
Mr.. Hendricks is retired merchant of New
York, and man whose sword is as good as his
bond' among the merchants and capitalists of
that city.

WHAT GREELEY KNOWS ABOUT DEAD LIMBS.
Horace Greeley in Swinging around the circle"
in New Hampshire made speech at Concord on
the 18th inst, in which he told the people that
Europe in many respects is better than Ameri-
ca, and her apple trees | have noticed, have less
dead limbs on'them than they have in New Hamp-
shire.'
There will be more dead limbs" on the politi-
cal tree after November than there are now. One
of them nas been struck by lightning Distilled
already, and the other will wither and die before
the blasts of the November election Horace goes
on to say that 'there is no better place to die in
than the grand old State" He said his ''life
was connected with many important events in the
past and hoped it would bein the future" And
called upon mis- tellow-ctizens to follow him in
the future as they had in the past Mr. Greeley
perhaps did not see the force of this. Heretofore
they have followed him in the Republican ranks
Now he asks them to follow him into the Dem
ocratic camp. Bot then be pleads pteously and
says ''if sometimes you are compelled to condemn
me, judge me kindly"
Gs- Frederick Douglass has silenced the Sum-
ner. battery and denies ever having been discour-
teously or unjuStly treated by President Grant.
He states that full justice was done him by the
Commissioners who refused to dine with him.
Mr. Douglass pays President Grant the follow
ing high compliment:
81 see in him the vigilant, firm, impartial and
wise protector of my race from all the malign,
reactionary, social and political elements that
would whelm them in destruction He is the
rock-bound coast against the angry and gnaw-
ing waves OF Il storm-tossed ocean, saying thus
far only shalt thou come"
Mr.. Douglass opinion of President Grants de-
votion to the cause of the colored mems rights
and advancement should be fully as good Ms that
of Mr. Sumner We have no doubt il will be
quite as potent in its influence upon the colored
people, whose votes Mr. Summers alluson to the
Presidents treatment of Mr.. Douglass was in
tended 10 control for Mr. Greeley
