Oniutons of the Press ON the Phfla-
deIphin Nominations.
NEW YORK..

New York, June 7.-All the papers
this morning contain editorials on the
Philadelphia Convention yesterday, and
its selection for candidates for Presir
dert and Vice President, The Sun,
Star aud Tribune being positively anti
administration organs, consider the con
vention q fare, so far AZ Grant was
concerned, bis nomihatioh being fore
gone conclusion.
Regarding the Vice Presidency, the
Sun says the Convention threw Colfax
overheard aud nominated Wilson to
spite Summer. and that this action in de-
uying Colfax chance for a second term
is proof that Grant has no right to the
second term. -te;oa M b,s
The Star says the nomination OF Will
SON as the advocate of the labor party
would mean a good deal if twas honest
" made, and intimates that the support
of the labor party in the Convention
was brought out by Wilson.
The Tribune says there was notsfair
dealing in the Convention. The man
who had patronage TO use secured its
vote for second term The man who
had no patronage to use could not secure
its vote for a second term. The Tribune
considers the ticket nominated by the
Convention a strong one and not to be
underrated, and that the Baltimore Con
vention, should it act unwisely, will
elect Grant.
The World says. If the Republican
party had been faithfully represented at
PhiladeIphia Grant would not have been
nominated; that apart from his control
of Federal patronage, he is one Of the
weakest candidates they could have put
in the field; had the delegates to the
Convention been elected ten days ago
they would not have nominated him, but
the nomination was fixed four or five
months ago. The World, under all the
circumstances attending the present po-
litical status, considers there is a splen-
did opportunity for Democratic success.
The Herald, an independent organ,
considers the work at Philadelphia to
have been well done in the selection of
Grant and Wilson as the Republican
ticket for Presidential succession. The
nomination of Grant was a foregone con-
clusion, but the change in the nomina-
ton for the Vice Presidency was made
on account Of the high favor in which
Wilson stands among the Southern
blacks, the partially which has been ex-
pressed for him from the workingmen OF
the North end his unmistakable strength
in New England. The Herald considers
that it viii be very close contest should
the Baltimore Convention adopt the
Cincinnati nominees, and fayors such
action on the part Of the Democratic
party.
The Times, an administration organ,
eulogizes both nominees. in a lengthy
editorial, and considers that the work of
the Convention has been done in
most intelligent and business-like- man
ner, and propbesies the death and burial
of the Democratic party, with Greeley
at its head. in November.
Tonight a public reception will be
given at Cooper Institute to Red Cloud
aud other Indian chiefs now in the city.
Red Cloud and some Of his associates
will deliver addresses.

Ir is stated that Greeley has developed
so much strength in Connecticut among
Republicans that the Hartford Times
and New Haven Register, Democratic
Journals of the strictest sect and leading

the delegates FROM that State will decid-
edly urge the same policy. 1t is now
predicted that New England will be
unanimous for Greeley at Baltimore,
and that he will receive a majority OF
her votes in the electoral college.

A Good Grunter.

The following story of John Smith of
California, and his son Virgil, is said to be
''true BILL" Smith had a very promising
young horse now for the first time in train
ing for the track, Chats definite enough. J
The other day Virgil, bright little chap
some ten years of age, was speeding the
colt around the track, and was making the
run in gallant style, when the colt sudden
ly SHE'D and threw the boy off.
The cause of this was young porker
that had slowed himself in some brush
close by the track, a quiet spectator of the
colts performance, until the latter got al
most opposite to him, when, hog-like, he
made violent rush, with the result mem
toned. By the time his anxious father
reached the ground the boy was on his feet,
unhurt.
Said the father: " Virgil, you don't know
how to ride a colt, to let little pig like
that throw you off. don't want the colt
spoiled. l want him to go around the
track, and I'll show you that a pig can't
prevent him." "I'll bet you," said Virgil,
"he'Il throw you, too, ifthe pig makes him
jump like he did with me.'' "No he won't
Virgil you can get in the bush there, and
and when | ride him around you can grunt
like pig. I'll show how it's done," said
elder Smith.
Accordingly, the colt was caught and
mounted by Smith the elder the boy in the
meantime having taken his position in the
brush to play the role of pig, in which he
succeeded to perfection, for when the sire
after rattling run, had reached the proper
place, he snorted like young grizzly, and
tearing out of the brush, casued the panic
stricken colt to pile his rider ingloriously
in the dust Gathering himself up he said
savagely: "What did you 90 that for? l
told you to grunt like little pig, not like
darned old hog"

Beecher on Grammar.

Mrs. Stowe gives a characteristic ac-
count of grammatical exercise at which her
brother Henry Ward Beecher assisted in
his school days. Young Beecher was about
eleven years old and as full of fun and mis-
chief as at present. The teacher was
drilling her children in the rudiments
"Now, Henry" said she, "a is the
indefinite article, you see, and must be
used only with the singular number. You
can say a man. but you can't say men,
can you?"
Yes, l can say amen, too,'' was the
rejoinder. "Father says it always at the
end of fprayers."
"Come, Henry, don't be joking define
'he.'"
aye see, 'his' is possessive. Now you
can say 'his book but you cannot say
him book.
eyes, do say hymn book, too, said
the impracticable pupil, with quizzical
twinkle.
Each one of these salles made his young
teacher laugh, which was the victory he
wanted.
But, now, Henry seriously, just at
tend to the active and passive voice. No,
6 strike is active you see, because if you
strike, you do something. But Il am
struck is passive, because if you are struck,
you don't do anything, do you?"
ayes, do; l strike back again."
After about six months, Henry was re-
turned on his parents hands, with the
reputation of being an inveterate joker and
Indifferent scholar.

GB There is man in Darby, Pa, who
purchased bull dog which he proposed to
turn loose in his store at night in order to
scare away the burglars, The first eve
ming after he obtained the dog he locked it
in the store and went away happy man.
The next morning, early he went around to
the store and unlocked the door. The dog
was vigilant-the man was surprised to
perceive how very v:gilant the dog was-for
no sooner was the door open than the dog
seized its owner by the leg, suddenly and
seemed to be animated by an earnest and
vigorous resolution not to let go until it
had removed at least one good mouthful.
And the man pushed the dog back and
shut the door on its ribs until the animal
relaxed its jaws and then the man kicked
the dog into the store and shut the door as
if he was in q hurry to do something.
Then he suspended business for week,
and spent the vacation firing at that dog
through the windows, and down the Chin
ney, and up through the cellar ceiling,
with shotgun, trying to exterminate
him. And the mercantile establishment
did not open for trade until the man had
paid twice the first cost of the dog to the
dogs former owner to come and take it
home and then, when he got in he found
that during the bombardment holes had
been shot through mackerel barrels and
molasses cans and coal oil kegs so that
there was misery and ruin everywhere.

"a More novelties are the result of acci-
dent than is generally supposed. The
origin of blue-tinted paper came about by
a mere slip of the hand, William East, an
English paper maker, once upon time set
his men to work, and went away on bust
ness. While the men were at dinner Mrs.
East accidentally let blue bag fall into
one of the watts of pulp. Alarmed at the
occurrence she determined to say nothing
about it. Great was the astonishment of
the workmen when they saw the peculiar
color Of the paper, and great the anger of
Mr. East when he returned and found
that whole vat of pulp had been spoiled.
After giving the paper made from it ware
house room for four years, Mr.. East sent
1t up to his agent in London to be sold
"for what it would fetch" "For what il
will fetch ~ said the agent, misunderstand-
ing the meaning; swell it certainly is a
novelty, but he must not expect too much. -
So he sold the whole at an advance upon
the market price, and wrote to the
mills for as much more as he could get.
The surprise of Mr.. Eastmay be imagined.
He hastened to his wife, who found cour.
age to confess her share in the fortunate
accident, and to claim a reward, which she
received in the shape Of a new cloak. Mr..
East kept his secret fora short time, sup
piled the market with the novel tint until
the demand far exceeded the supply, and
other makers discovering the means used,
competed with him.
