during the reign of terror

r .
THE annexed excerpt tells the whole
story: 1.-THE next President of the
United States will be either Horace
Greeley or U. s. Grant-Horace Greeley,
elected mainly by Democratic votes; or
U. S. Grant, elected by the least liberal
of those who elected him in 1868. The
Baltimore convention cannot possibly
alter this naked alternative. 1t might
so modify the situation as TO insure the
election of Grant. or it may leave the
situation as it is, and thus insure the
election of Greeley; but beyond this its
power does not extend. 1t is master of
the situation to this extent and no more.
1t cannot name a third candidate who
might be elected; and if it should name
a third candidate, it would be only for
the manifest purpose of making Grant
the next President. q

THE Boston and New York press is
going into ecstacies over flower mis-
sions to the poor. One enthusiast says:
aThere is an innate love of flowers in
our very natures, and it attaches itself
to our varied sentiments of sorrow and
of joy. In this connection we see that
the charitable ladies of New York city
have now flower mission; poetical
charity, surely, yet vastly practical in.
the cheering influence impaired to the
sick room and the spirits of the afflicted. "
Would there not be little more cheer
ing influence and practical charity in
-four mission to the poor and sick9
This is exactly the difference between
poetical and practical sympathy.

mission to the members of the House OF
Bourbon that the remains of the late
King Louis Philippe shall be removed
from their present resting place in Eng

in the soil Of France. This action does
credit to the head and heart OF the
French President. Prince de Joinville,
son of the deceased monarch, COM
manded the expedition which conveyed
the ashes of the Great Napoleon from
st. Helena to the shore of France, and
it is but meet and proper and respectful
that the present administration OF the
of the revolution should
permit the nation to do honor to the
memory of its first citizen king. Mr.
Theirs by this act places Republicanism
in France on safe foundation. The

About year since | saw, in newspaper, an
account OF case OF sunstroke written by the party
himself After suffering long time from the at
tack and having to a considerable degree re-
covered, ne experienced suffering even from the
rays of the moon. This led him TO the
reflection that IL was not altogether the heat OF the
sun that produced prostration. After much re-
search he discovered that the injury came from
the chemical ray, aud not from the heat ray. He
was guided To this by observing the fact
that O photograph could not be taken
through yellow glass. Accordingly he lined
his hat with two linings-one OF orange yellow, TO
arrest the chemical ray, aud one Of green, to ar
rest the heat ray. Thus prepared he went where
the RAYS OF the sun were most intense with perfect
impupIty. II is well known that the negro is sell
dom or never sunstruck the color OF his skin over
the skull being OF the orange yellow may assist In

gestion All last summer; lined my hat with green
and orange yellow paper, and had confidence
enough in the truth OF the theory to neglect my
umbrella, which | had never done before. men
toned to many who tried 1t ALSO and In all cases
that came under my observation they uniformly
asserted that the oppressive heat OF the sun upon
the head was much relieved.
