The Detroit Post says: SIN 1862, at
Fort Donelson and Shiloh, was born
the hattIe-cry of the Cincinnati Con
ventionists, Anybody to beat Grant,
But he was net beaten In 1868, at
Vicksburg and Lookout Mountain,
this cry for Anybody to beat Grant =
became almost as earnest as it is in
the mouths Of Schurz, TrumbuIl,
Greeley & Co. But Grant was not
beaten, In 1864-5, from the Rap
.pahannock to the Appomattox, the cry
of Anybody to beat Grant, grew
more and more agonizing and despair
ing. But Grant was still victorious.
When Andy Johnson, confronted by
impeachment, tried to get Grant out
of the War Office, the old cry of
Anybody to beat Grant!' was re-
vived. And again, in 1868, when
the Democrats were trying to elect
Horatio Seymour and Frank Blair,
they raised the same cry of ANY
body to beat Grant = The Cincin-
natl boilers may raise the despairing
cry of Anybody to beat Grant ? like
the rebels, and like the Democrats
before them, but there isn't anybody
who can beat Grant. He never was
beaten. He can't be BEATEN

The dog crop of the United States
is estimated at twenty-one million
head. At a moderate computation
each animal costs eight dollars year,
making total of one hundred and
sixty-eight millions of dollars. Of
the number upward Of hundred
thousand go mad annually, and bite
about ten thousand people. On the
whole the crop can not be said to pay.

GOOD FOR TEXAS

The people of Texas seem to be
in the condition in respect to world
ly goods for which Agar fervently
prayed. They have neither poverty
nor riches. The Texas Zntslzaqeas-
Ger says: eve have not an aims
house in the State, nor do we need
one. We are all rich. We venture
the assertion that not a man, woman
or child in all the State necessarily
goes to bed hungry this year. Come
to Texas. This is the place to live
well and look WE'LL" To which the
Galveston Nea0s adds: eve sup
pose that there is no part of the
world in which the Savior's state
ment, "The-poor We have with you
always" is not found strictly true,
but it is difficult for us to realize the
fact. There is not today in all Tex
as poor man or woman, as poverty
is understood elsewhere. There are
thousands who cannot buy silk dress
es nor broadcloth coats. There are
tens Of thousands who have no gold
watches nor solitaire diamonds.
| L here are but few who can own fast
horses, or indulge in the more expen-
sive luxuries that many think indis-
pensable. But there are none who
need want for necessary food, cloth
ing and shelter. Any man who is
able to work two hours in the day
can have all these, and for those
whom sickness or infrmity render
helpless, the neighborhood has al
ways an abundance. If we have
but few rich men, there are no poor
ones. If we have but little luxury,
we have every necessity that man
needs. - South Land.

Mr.. Gilmore's latest scheme for the

CAPACITY OF TELEGRAPHs DOUBLED.
Improvements have been made in tel

A WASHINGTON SKETCH.-A
Washington correspondent writing
of scenes and incidents on the Avenue
gives the following anecdote:
hat dark-eyed young woman in
black silk stepping out Of a carriage
is he daughter Of one of the men,
bgrs of the Cabinet. She is we'll ed
ucated, but not handsome nor par
ticularly amiable. Two years ago
81 Dung man came to Washington
from one Of the Observation-Disclosures,
[ 2elieve-who became much inter
es ed in her, and the two became be-
trothed without her fathers knowl-
edge. The Secretary at that time
had Presidential aspirations, and
when be found out the affair he did
not regard it with favor. The next
winter the young man came on to
marry the lady, however, and take
her to Montana, but the father refus-
ed his consent. The daughter was
his chief Of staff, aiding him in his
duties and counseling him with her
judgement, and she chose her father
to her lover, who becoming disguised
with the whole affair returned to his
far-away home.

CESSATION OF COWS.

The period of CESSATION in cows
being a subject that has from time to
time attracted considerable attention
we publish the following by j. II.
Pickrell, given in the National Lice
Stock Journal:
In forty-fve short horned COWS
and heifers, producing ffty-four bull
and ffty-two heifer calves, of which
accurate time, in days, has been kept
no reference having been made of
calves that were ''shipped'-the aver
age time that bull calveslwere carried
was 281B days, heifers 1881 days
the average time of the whole one
hundred and six, being a fraction over
28z4 days.
'Hhe greatest variation was in the
tim, Of carrying heifer calves the
sh rtest period being 258 days, and
che longest 200 days, making va
riation of forty-one days. The short
os; period of bulls was 270 days, the
longest 295 days, being variation
Of wenty five days. But six calves
Wee dropped at 280 days-the time
us ally counted as the average time
of which, four were bulls, and two
heiters. Only three were dropped at
282 days the average time of the
hefd-two heifers and one bull.
The age Of the COW seems to make
no difference in the time of CESSATION.
TIE shortest period was in a COW
three years old, with her second calf +;
tn longest, in a cow carrying her
fourth calf-both heifers, as before
observed. The shortest period OF
carrying a bull was in COW carrying
her second calf; and the longest was
W h the second. The greatest vari-
alton in one COW, was in cow carry
in& bull 288 days, and heifer 262
DAYS, the difference being twenty-siz
DAYS. The cow that carried the
hotter 258 days, carried a bull 27f
d ys-her longest period--a variation
Of eighteen days. The 258 days
h. fer was of the average size when
sle come and is now three years old
TIE 299 days, heifer was also about
tha average size.

DR.. Lyman Beecher's saying, re-
Gently quoted by his son Henry
that he always ''hollaed'' in preach
ing when he had nothing to SAYS
confirmed by John Wesley, whose
followers have often seemed to regard
noise as sign if not a means of
grace. The Methodist recalls this
letter Of Wesley's to one of his min
listers
Scream no more at the peril of
your soul. God now warns you by
me, whom he has set over you.
Speak as earnestly as you can, but
do not scream. Speak with all your
heart, but with moderate voice.
It was said Of our Lord, HE shall
not cry the word properly means,
he shall not scream. Herein be a
follower of me, as [ am of Christ. I
often speak loud, often vehemently;
but | never scream. [ never strain
myself. [ dare not; [ know it
would be sin against God and my
own SOUL"
