The country has never been in more

The country has never been in more
prosperous condition. Labor is in de-
mand everywhere, and wages are high
Every law.abiding citizen is in the full
enjoyment of personal liberty. Our
wealth and resources are attracting to
our shores the skilled labor and the in.
telligence of other lands. Our bonds
are equal in value to gold; our money
circulation is but small per cent below
them. Our credit is good in all the
money markets of the world, and our
debt is being funded at low rate Of
interest. We arc at peace with all the
world. Our troubles with England are
being amicably settled. The Southern
States arc rapidly recovering from the
effects of the war, and are growing in
prosperity. All this is due to q wise
and honest administration of national
affairs. The election of Greeley would
unsettle public confidence and induce q
financial panic. The people know this,
hence their determination to reflect
President Grant.

THOUSANDS of Democrats have re.
pudiated Greeley. Thousands more will
do so before November. They sec through
his hypocrisy, and know that the only
use he has for them is to reach the Pres.
idential chair through their votes -
From every section of the Union we
hear of honest Democrats repudiating
the sham In Wellsville, Allegheny
county, New York, the names of over
one hundred Democrats are published
who are in favor of Grant and Wilson.
In the State of Georgia at least twenty.
five thousand Democrats refuse to vote
for Greeley. Throughout Tennessee
and Kentucky the disaffection is equally
strong. The Democrats who agree to
swallow Greeley don't like the dose, but
take it as the best thing that offers
The Louisville Ledger is already sick
of the Old Philosophers attempt to
ride two horses. This is the way it
talks over Greeley's second letter of &C.
ceptancc:
Democrats had walked up like little
men and swallowed the Cincinnati pill
after it was sugar-coated with the
original letter of construction. We had
thought this enough But not so. Now,
just as we are cnfeebled, faint, and help.
less from the nauseating effect of the
dose, it seems the very refinement of
cruelty to be thus drawn across the knee
of the grim old man and soundly spanked.
But-anythiDg to beat Grant"
They don't like the dose, but "any.
thing to beat Grant" forces them to
swallow it. Before November they will
see Grant in better light The Gree.
Icy falschoods will be exposed. The
true patriot will rise above the ambitious
pretender, and the people of the South
will see in the hero of Appomattox the
true friend of all sections, and the safest
man to trust at the head of the nation.

TIE question now before the Ameri.
can people is not whether the private
character of General Grant is more
worthy Of commentator than that of
Horace Greeley, or the morals of Henry
Wilson better than those of b. Gratz
Brown, but whether Grant and Wilson
are better calculated, as the representa-.
tives of the Republican party, to ad.
vance the interests of the nation than
Greeley and Brown as the representa-.
tives of the Democratic party 1t mat
tiers little whether Greeley goes with
his pants tucked in his shoes or Gratz
Brown is addicted to strong drink. We
prefer to believe that these personal
charges are exaggerated-that both
Greeley and Brown are men of good
personal character, and practice the
manners which ought to prevail among
Christian people. Personalities during
political campaign should be taken
with great allowance. We know that
the personal charges against Gen. Grant
are untrue, and that both his character
and the character of Henry Wilson are
above reproach; yet both have been sian.
dered by Democratic speakers and rebel
organs. In our opinion the question to
be answered is not whether our candi.
dates are personally better men than
those of the opposition, but whether
our cause is better than theirs. If the
campaign could be conducted with this
simple question as text we should have
less of that personal bitterness which
robs victory of half its laurels and adds
needless humiliation to defeat.
We plant our standard on our plat.
form; we point to the past record of our
candidates as the best evidence of what
we have a right to expect in the future
The public record of both Grant and
Wilson is without stain or blot. Gen
Grant, from the breaking out of the re-
bellion to the present hour, has been be-
fore the people. Not single act reflects
on his character as private citizen,
heroic soldier, or wise statesman. Boil
in war and in peace he has been tried
and not found wanting. Henry Wilson
has been tried public servant for thirt,
years AS the practical reformer ad
vocating the abolition of slavery, tn
elevation of the working man, the caus'
of popular education, and as the watch
full guardian of liberty and justice, b,
has few equals and no superior. Boil
Grant and Wilson are firm believers il
united, iudissoluble nationality. Thei
past record proves this. What bette
pledge can we have for the future?

THE APES OF GIBRALTAR.

A correspondent of the London Telegraph,
writing from Gibralter, September 10th, says:
The Governor, Sir Fenwick Williams. of
Kars, is popular, aud makes an excellent COM
mauder He and his predecessors have mainly
devoted themselves to defending the apes that
are to be found on the rock against hostile at
tacks from the garrison or town. These apes
are the only wild monkeys in Europe. They
have been here from time immemorial, aud
they are reverenced as much as their brothers
in the sacred groves of Benares. The most
stringent orders arc issued against injuring
them. From the signal battery on the top Of
the rock soldiers are always ON the lookout
with telescopes for them. and the lumber seen
every day is registered in u book.
A few months ago young gentleman ar
rived here, fresh from school, as an ensign in
regiment Wandering over the rock with
gun he espied an ape, and, as he thought it
would be interesting to send home q stuffed
monkey, shot it. Imagine the horror Of the
town and garrison when the lad came back
through the streets bearing with him triumph
antly the result of his days shooting. An
ofiicer-even an ensigp-is very great man
here. The inhabitants did not dare rush upon
the sacrilegious wretch who had slaughtered a
creature almost as holy as an officer. Some sat
ut their doorsteps in silent horror, and yelled
their cOuntenances. Others follow ed the corpse
OF the dead ape to see what would happen to
its murderer. Gibraltar was in-for it-a
state of wild excitement When the Ensign
reached his barracks his Colonel and brother
officers explained to him the fearful crime of
which he had been guilty. So great, indeed,
was the offence that ii was felt that the Gov
ernor alone could deal with it, Sir Fenwick
Williams is man of kindly nature; but
even he, understand, thought of nothing less
than cashlering the unfortunate Ensign; while
one or two of the permanent authorities. who,
on hearing what had occurred. Immediately
went To the Government House to tender their
advice, were strongly in favor OF the ier a'ioRis.
and the Ensign being slain TO avenge the
names of the saughted ape. After lengthy
discussion. he was consigned to captivity. He
has since been released, but h- has left his own
name in prison, and is now called by every Que
" Du Chaillu."

THE HABIT OF FRETTING.

Fretting is both useless and unnecessary; it
does no good and a great deal Of harm; yet it
is almost universal sin. More Or less We
are all given to it. We fret over almost every
thing. In Summer because it is too hot, and
in Winter because it is too cold; we fret when
it rains because it is wet, and when it doesn't
rain because it is dry; when we are sick, or
when anybody else is sick. In short, il any.
thing or everything doesn't 60 just to suit our
particular whims and fancies, We have one
grand general refuge-tO fret over it. am
afraid tretting is much more common among
women than among men. We may as well
own the truth. my fair sisters. if it isn't alto
gether pleasant. Perhaps it 10 because the lit
tie worries and cares aud vexati0ns ut our
daily life harass our sensitive nerves more thaa
the most extended enterprises which generally
take the attention Of men. Great wants de-
v-lop great resources, but little wants aud
worries are hardly provided for, and like the
nail which strikes against the saw, they make
not much ot mark. but they turn the edges
terribly. think if We looked upon all the
little Worries of one day as great united
worry, selt.cOntrOl to meet it would be devel-
oped But as they generally come only one or
two little things ut a time, they seem SO very
little that we give way, aad the breach once
