In the ecstacy of enthusiasm
which followed the denomination of
President Grant at Philadelphia, a
thousand voices took up the song
of "John Brown" Curious was it

The Presidents keen judgment of
character was never more strikingly
illustrated than when, in reply to
the remark that Sumner did not be.
lieve in the Bible, he observed, How
can he? He did not originate it.
Greeley's headquarters at the AS

being too expensive to maintain.
His principal New York supporters
are Democrats, and the Astor House
has fine bar.
Henry S. Foote, ex-President
johnson and Gen. Cheatham, are
candidates for Congressman at

The President of the Greeley
meeting at Baltimore, the other day,
was Wm. G. Browne, who was
Mayor of the city in '6l, when the
Massachusetts, regiments were fir ed
on. Mr.. Browne enjoyed the hos
pitalities of Fl Warren.

The New York Herald advises
Greeley to withdraw in favor of
Chief Justice Thompson, OF Penn
sylvsnia, since events have amply |
demonstrated that Greeley cannot
secure the united support of the
Democratic party, a condition pre-
cedent to even a hope of success.
Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, in a |
speech the other day, said the Dem

ley. "We won't.w shouted voice
from the crowd. very well, then,'
said the iGovernor, as a clincher,
"Vote for Grant" "We will"
shouted the crowd, with wonderful
unanimity.
The chap who gets up queer sta
tistics has been at it again. He
says: "The combined mouths of
the $4,000 singers at the Boston Ju-
bilee will form a cavity of 1876 square
feet. That is bigger than Carl
Schurz's, but not quite so large as
Dom Piatt's. Yet neither are large
enough to swallow Grant.

little duck runs about awhile natur- /
