the central object Of very general observation.
She sat quietly by herself in corner of the

this made him wilder than ever. A lawyer arose
and explained the case, which was an application
upon writ of habeas corpus for the release OF the
young man from the Lunatic Asylum on Backwell's
Island. The Judge, basing his decision upon the
strange conduct of the young man, at once dis

went away, locking them up in the house, and on
his return the son went for him, Knocked him down

A DIsREPUrABLE TRANSACTION.

Another most disreputable transaction of
Ulysses S. Grant, the bribe-taker and gift
receiver, has just come to light through the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Sltn. 1t seems that in 1869 General
A. p. Hovey, Of Indiana, Grants Minister
to Peru, presented Grant, through VIM. d.
Farand, valuable carriage robe made out
of an ibeX skin. II was worth about 5000.
OF course HOvey knew Grants character,
and expected a muni6cent reward for
the robe. Farand desired to be ap-
pointed Consul to Callao, Peru. He
offered Joseph W. McCorbis $500 for amir
PRODUCING him to the Dents, the royal
brOthers-in-law. He agreed to pay Mr..
Dent s., 500 if he got the place from Grant.
The latter remembering Farand's agency in
the robe, gave him the appointment against
the remonstrance of Secretary Fish. Such
was Farand's character that the Peruvian
Government at first refused to recognize
him, but Gen. Hovey, having his own pur-
pose to subserve, brought such influences
10 bear that the opposition was Withdrawn
and the Consul received. In the mean
time, Grants brotLer-in-law, having got
the S2,500-which he may have divided
with Grapt-did not busy himself any
flu ther in the matter, and formidable OPP
position sprung up in the Senate over the
confirmation. Senator Cole, of California,
wanted the place for one of his friends, and
violently. opposed Farand. Grant was anxious
to conciliate Cole in order to get his vote in
the Senate for the confirmation of his
brother-in-law as Appraiser in the San
Francisco Custom House. He therefore
withdrew Farand's nomination and nomi-
mated a man named Williamson, who was
Coles friend. This little arrangement of
Coles secured the fat berth for George
DENTAL at the expense of the man who
had brought the ibex robe. The worst of it
was that Dent an McCorkle, who had Sc
cured S, 900 out of Farand, Gid not refund
it. Farand repaired to Washington, had an
indignant interview with Judge Dent, who
pacified him by telling BIN he would 90 for
his appointment as Supervising Consular
Agent on the South American coast. The
Presidents brother-in-law, however, de-
manded new fee of 81, 900 as his official
brokerage, which he obtained. Again there
was i'll luck. Mr.. Boutwell,, the Secretary
of the Treasury, objected tn the appoint
ment on account of Farands misconductsss
Consul at Callao. So the appointment
fell through and The ibex robe
gentleman was out another $1,000. Had
he got the appointment, which he would
from Grant if it had been his instead of
BOutwelrs to give, Dent was to receive
$1,000 more,
This is the plain, unvarnished tale Of the
way things are done under this Admins
tration. 1t is only one Of many chapters
of similar character that have so disguised
the country. The whole influences govern
ing the distribution of patronage by Grant
seem to be comprised in three words:
Presents, Brides, Relations. Isn't it about
time for this kind of corruption to be driven
from power?

Street Railroad connections.

With the view of subscribing the public
convenience, the Directors of Edgefield
Street Railroad Company desire to extend
the Nashville terminus of their road from
the corner of Front street and the Public
Square through the Square to College street,
50 as TO connect Immediately with the street
railroads of the city. They therefore pre-
scented petition to the City Council, ask
ing the right of way necessary to the &C
complishment of that purpose. At the
last meeting of the Board of Aldermen the
committee to whom the petition had been
referred, reported adversely TO the same,
and, strange to say, the report was sane
toned by the Board Of Aldermen. The
circumstance gives rise to the suspicion on
the part of those friendly to the Edgefeld
street railroad, that this action by the Al
dermen was prompted by opposition from
the street railroads of the city, whose price
for transportation is about double that of
the Edgefield street railroad. Can it be
possible that the street railroads OF the city
fear immediate connection because Of H.
quiries that might then by be suggested as
TO the reason or necessity for this differ

IN DEFENSE OF MoTHERs.IN.LAw.

As a great deal is said and written against
mOthers-in-l law, it is refreshing to find one
man who can say something in their de-
Tense. This singular character belongs to
Fert Wayne, Ind, who says: 81 am not a
mOther-in-law myself, but my wife's mother
is, and for her sake l want to say some
thing in behalf of that much-abused class of
relatives. Since it is become fashi unable to
rail at mothers-ia-laW in the public press
and in private life, the great American peo-
pie, with that keen sense of humor peculiar
TO themselves-and for the possession of
which a good many of them ought to be
hanged-cOnsiier it intensely funny a. we'll
as fashionable. don't. l recognize the
fact that my children's grandmother, who Q
one of their dearest and truest friends on
earth, has claim upon my affections too.
There are doubtless exceptions to this rule,
as there are to most rifles under the sun,
but in the main mothers-in-law are entitled
to all the respect they receive and a good
deal more of the same sort. Generally the
man who speaks insultingly Of his mother
in-law would not be averse to whipping his
wife when occasion offered, or is mean
enough to accept bis mOther-iH-la@'s kindly
offices when the children are down with
the measles and give her the cold shoulder
afterward. At least it will be safe to say
that the man who insults his mother;in-law
by word or deed will bear watching"

A HALE nOzEN SOLD.

Six nice young men in New ORGANS were
badly sold the other evening by six saucy
girls. One of these beauties wrote charm
ing little anonymous note to all six of the
young gentlemen. proposing meeting at q
restaurant. Each was to be dressed in 4
peculiar style, and each was to be eating a
dish of shrimps. On the APPOINTED evening
this little beauty and the five others, all
dressed alike in tie costume indicated in the
letters sent to the young gents, started for
the rendezvous. Great was the gathering,
at the appointed time, of suitors in costume,
attitude and occupation strictly according
to orders. Very intently did each apply
himself, unconscious Of the close proxi mity
to others who were milarly employed, to
the demolition ofthe stated dish of shrimps,
and on the watch for the "woman in white"
AT last when five, and finally six ladies,
each in the specified costume, arrived, the
astonished boys concluded, each in his own
mind, that be had been sold, and each
simultaneously, slowly and sadly, got up,
paid his shrimp bill and departed, evidently
in no enviable state of mind, and leaving
the waiter and proprietor in state of utter
bewilderment as TO Swhat was up.n
