There is nothing more winning than the spectacle
of a chid-like ignorance which wants to know An
evening paper has found tho word "pen" some
where, and is unhappy till it learns what 1t means
We are pleased to see this proof of teachabe dis
position in a paper usually so bumpuous and
froward. The word means civilian" as opposed to
soldierD and is applied by French military men to
those of their who not killers by

which not very well educated soldier, like Grant,
probably feels toward the people who write the
tepid eulogies of him in The Evening Post.

Many and wonderful are the mysteries of palaces.
The newspapers of Vienna relate how sentry at the
royal residence saw o female figure, in long white
vail, issue from the apartments of tho late Arch
duchess Sophia. Again and again the vision ap-
peared and disappeared, eludng the vigilance OF tho
sentry but one night he came up with the SNecter
and thrust his bayonet into his back Then 1t turned
out to be beardless young man. at first taken Tor

-Four young robbers, confined in tho County
Jail in Chicago, on Monday night presented
reyolvers to the head of the deputy jailer and
suggested that they would like to go out. He
gave them his keys, and they went out. They
obtained the pistols through the polite atten-
ton of some friends outside, and were put in
condition to use them through the courtesy Of
the taller.

The Rev. Charles w. Denison Of Washington

ssts that President Grant is frequently seen drunk
We trust that this is not true and discountenancs

Massachusetts, this year. There are four
tickets already promised The Liberal and
Democratic, the Grant, the Prohibition, and
the Labor parties are ali on the war-path.

with was recently put to bar in one OF the London
Police Courts. He was "a mddle-aged man" TO

charged with stealing f3 from the purse OF the
prosecutrix with whom he lodged, and who testified
that she had from the first suspected him. though
she knew he said his prayers" 1t appeared further
that he was Polish Jew, was deaf and dumb, and
unable to read or write. He could have been exam

Now that the magistrates of Belfast have
become convinced of their inability to restore
order and have surrendered the city into the
hands of the military, the riot near the close
of the sixth day, has spent most OF Its vlo-
lence Yesterday it was renewed for the sake
of plumber, stage which cannot be very lar
in advance of its suppression. TO add to the
unfortunate condition in which Ireland is now
placed, the journeymen bakers OF Dublin have
struck for higher wages and the inhabitants
are CRYING for bread

Tho Grant and Wilson newspapers seem to have
great respect for Mr. Creeleys opinion rather fer
what they are pleased to put forward as his opinion
In fact our LID. President seems to be running
mainly upon certificates of good character mostly

"Grant and his policy deserve the very highest credit

"Gen Grant has never been beaten. and lac never VII

"The people Of the United States know Cen Grant
HORACE GREELEY"
Now, it is evident that if Mr.. Greeley ever did
give the Doctor these certificates of character they
must have been obtained under false pretenses
Servants frequently manage to get what they eau
characters" Somebody certifes that the bearer,
who then might have been fifteen, is sober and in
dustrious; and upon the strength of this she man
ages to get situations long after she is torty-ye,
inebIiate, and lazy. If Mr.. Greeley ever did glvo

public by this time knows that it has been Withdrawn
and rescnded. If Mr. Greeley mistook his man. so
did thousands of others who have publicly owned

The sagacity of The Boston Transcript for medi-
um-sized newspaper. is perfectly appalling what
Mr. Greeley said at Portland, The Transcript takes
good care not to tell its readers 1t gives his words
"a candidate has no moral right TO subject his
friends to the pers he must brave If not invite, by
taking part in The canvass" And then the truth
telling Transcript cries. is Mr. Greeley conscious
that he may be imprudent and blurt out something
of his really contradictory self in the way OF opin
iOnsfD 1t would not have been Sd easy for tins
newspaper to make this benevolent suggestion. If 1t
had only with common decency quoted the whole OF
the sentence which 1t prefers to garble for the sake
of a mighty small point. What Mr.. Greeley really
did say was: THE temptation to msreport and
misrepresent a candidate is great, the means Of
circulating such perversions among the people who
will never sec word of their refutation, are 80
vast, that candidate has moral right to subject
his friends to the perls he must brave, If not invite
by taking part in the canvass" What Dir. Greeley
meant is plain enough but the little Boston news
paper suppresses all the speaker said about misre-
porting and misrepresentation, and suggests that Mr.
Greeley is afraid to utter his opinions. The Trans
cyipt thus unwittingly furnishes good illustration
of the caution which candidates are compelled TO
exercise, and to which Mr.. Greeley referred

What He Used to Think.

Upon General Grants accession to
the Presidency a great number of
those who had supported his election,
with some who had not, sought office
at his hands, or expected him to be-
stow it unasked. He was unable to
crafty their aspirations Their la
mentations, mingled with the howls of
the disappointed, made'up a very dole
ful dissonance, whereofthe only mean
ing deducible runs thus: "Gen. Grant
is found wanting-his Administration
is a failure"
"Failure?" how in what? Have
we not peace and plenty in the land
Is not our flag displayed and re-
spected on every seaH What foreign
foe molests or threatens us2 Who
fears insurrection at home, or invasion
from abroad ?
Yes. Gen. Grant has failed to
crafty some eager aspirations, and
has thereby incurred some intense ha-
treds. These do not and will not
fail and his Administration will
prove at least equally vital. We
shall hear lamentation after lamenta-
ton over his failures from those whose
wish is father to the thought; but
the American people let them pass
unheeded. Their strong arm bore
him triumphant through the war and
into the White House, and they still
uphold and sustain him; they never
| failed and they never will
The above very sensible remarks
are from the pen Of Horace Greeley,
and we're published not so very long
ago in the Tribune. They are not a
whit less true to-day than when they
were written, although Greeley him
self now ranks as an "office. seeker"
backed up by those staunch patriots.

" Scratch That Man Of. 4"

In one of the United States Courts
a short time ago, the Marshal was
calling the list for the purpose of i'm
pannelling jury, and the work was
going bravely on, when, in answer to
name, q somewhat shabby genteel
individual put in an appearance, and
in very mild and selfdepreciating
manner feebly asked to be excused.
The judge, very pompous and dig
nified gentleman, first looked aston
ished, and then in a deep, rebuking
voice, sternly said Excused, sir /!
excused, sir excused on what
ground %
The juror, that was not to be, cast
ing helpless look around with a faint
attempt at a smile, replied;
I'LL have the itch, sir"
"The itch, sir; the itch2 The deuce
you have" said his honor, at the same
time rising in his magisterial dignity.
''The itch, sir Mr.. Marshal" turning
to that funetionary, "Mr. Marshal,

went into convulsions, and the juror

A Philosophical Darkey.

An elderly darkey with very phil
osophical and retrospective cast of
countenance. was squatting upon his
bundle on the hurricane deck of one
of the Western river steamers, toast
ing his shins against the chimney, and
apparently plunged in a state of pro-
found meditation. His dress and ap-
pearance indicated familiarity with
camp life, and it being soon after the
siege and capture of Fort Donelson, l
was inclined to disturb his reveries,
and on interrogating found that he
had been with the Union forces at
that place, when questioned him
further. His philosophy was so much
in the Falstaffin vein that / will give
his views in his own words as near as
my memory will serve me.
Were you in the fight?

my profession.
Well, have you no regard for your
reputation?
Reputation muffin to me by the

Do you consider your life worth
more than other peoples?
It's worth more to me, sa.

But why snould you act upon diff.
ferent rule from other men?
Cause, sa, different men sets differ

not in de market.
But you lost it you would have
the satisfaction of knowing that you
died for your country.
What satisfac'n would dat be to me,
when the power of feelin' was gone?
Then patriotism and honor are moth
ing to you?

If our soldiers were like you trait

Yes, sa; der would hab been no

A waggish journalist who is often
merry over his personal plainness,
tells this story of himself: 81 went
