/" Anybody but Grant"

Republicans who are misrepresented
by the New York Tribune might justly
retort on that paper that it is constantly
saying, Anybody but Grant" Oppo-
sition of this kind is neither reasonable
nor just. 1t seems to be the man.
There is something personal in it. The
prejudice against the man is so strong
that the paper thus objecting to him
cannot do him justice. An unfavorable
construction is placed on nearly every
thing he does. He is held responsible
for act with which he has had no con.
nection. In other words, the warfare
upon him by the Tribune is not that
which political friend might legiti-
mately conduct inside the party. The
Tribune not only endeavors to weaken
him in advance by intimating that he
may not te elected if nominated, but 1t
says with apparent reluctance, that it is
not yet committed against him in the
event of his nomination. 1t may sup.
port him, and it may not. That is about
the plain English of the present position
of the Ti5mc.- Washington Chronicle.

Gen. Grant and His Assailants.
From Hsrper's Weekly


If the Administration werel the
seething mass of corruption which 1t is
sometimes alleged to be, would the
Democratic party be in the moribund
condition which the action OF its Con
necticut Convention reveals Could
that party ask anything more favorable
to it's hopes than dominant opposition
dissolving in its own corruption? What
does the stu ton show but that the
Republican hold upon the heart Of the
country is very sure? Yet what has so
confirmed that hold but the general
confidence in the character and purpose
of the Administration A? 1t is true that
certain gentleman who are called the
Presidents friends oppose measures
which he has recommended, such as
the reform Of the civil service and am
nesty. But the gentlemen have always
opposed them. and have opposed them
openly, and despite their opposition the
President urges them. 1t is alleged that
this shows the Presidents interest in
them TO be a shallow pretense. Indeed
and when was it shown that the will
and tenacity of Gen. Grant were less
than those Of the gentlemen who are
called his friends? And what events
in his career justify the theory that his
action is mingled of folly and dupliciiy?
From this time to the assembling OF
the Republican Convention the attempt
TO stain the character of the President,
and to stigmatize him to the country as
unfit for another term, will be lcessant
and malevolent. But he has been IL.
the Wilderness beforehand he came
out of it. They mistake profoundly and
perilously who suppose that the people
forget, or that the mists of calumny
that gather about every Administration
haye obscured the remembrance OF the
days when Gen. Grant was the hope Of
America and liberty. Coming fresh
from the camp to the Cabinet, has he
betrayed one of the great principles OF
the party which lifted him to power ?
Differing from many honored leaders as
they differ among themselves, has he
forgotten the emancipated race, or the
honor of the nation, or the welfare
Of the people2 Silent by nature
and by the conditions Of his position,
has he to one honest mind seemed
guilty of any of the foul charges that
have been Numbered against him?
There will certainly be an indignant
reaction in the mind and heart of
the American people against the
relentless effort to injure the good
name Of the President of the United
States-a reaction which Will surely and !
triumphantly re-elect him, as man
who, in the "ferce light" Of the inten
sest party animosity, as in the long
doubt of the war, half shown. himself a
modest and faithful servant of his
country.

Our Cause and Our Duty.
From the Newark Daily Advertiser.

From the Newark Daily AdVertlser
Since the rise of the Republican party
there have been several periods when
croakers within its own ranks have fore
told peril, and when its enemies grew
confident that its overthrow was APP
preaching. In 1862, when disaster
seemed to eliminate upon the national
arms in 1864, when peace at any price
became pa ty cry; in 1866, when the
treachery of an accidental President
threw the National Administration
against it; in 1870, when chronic office
seekers raised their loudest howl and
uttered their strongest maledictions, we
were assured Of its certain defeat and
disruption. But the sound sober thought
of the American people may be relied
on when reflection takes the place of
impulse. At each of these periods the
unerring sagacity Of the Republican
leaders and the answering loyalty of
the Republican masses brought ultimate
victory to our staAiiard and signal de-
feat to our enemieie'
Again we have CACHED a period when
doubtful friends and hopeful enemies
are eagerly scanning the future. The
Republican party is, for the time, ex-
periencing some of the difficulties which
affect, to greater or less degree, every
prosperous political organization en-.
trusted with the responsibilities of gov
eminent. Ambitious men who do not
think themselves fully appreciated, dis
appointed men who were willing to
serve their country for consideration,
but whose merits were overlooked, rest
less men who deem change necessity,
and who eagerly fasten on new opinions
and new leaders, are uneasy and fever
ish They deal in oracular sayings, hint
at wonderful combinations, and are
busily engaged in putting new wine in
old bottles Of singular form and capacity.
But the great mass of the Republicans
take but little interest in small intrigues
and desperate ventures, and remain
sternly true to principle and duty.
They are convinced that this great or
ganization represents the loyalty, the
intelligence, and the sound morality of
the people. They clearly understand
that its continued supremacy is neces-
sity, and that patriotism and duty alike
forbid any yielding of the vantage
ground it has obtained.

The Prince OF Wales-Great Rejoicing
Over his Recovery.

The celebration at London on the
9th ult. in honor of the recovery of
the Prince of Wales was of the grand.
est character. The streets were throng-
ed and the houses and public places
were gorgeously decorated. Spectators
were numbered by millions. The Royal
procession commenced to move from
Buckingham Palace at half-past Il
a. IN. As the Queen left the court. yard
of the palace chorus of 10000 children
sang the national anthem, "God save
the Queen" The services at st. Pauls
consisted of singing, by grand chorus,
of re Deum, written for the occasion,
from Psalm us; the reading of pray
ers, and sermon by the Archbishop of
| Canterbury.
At the conclusion of the religious SER
vices, the procession formed again and
moved westward. The whole route TO
and from the cathedral WAS seven miles
in length, and the procession was four
hours in motion. The best estimates
place the number of spectators who wit.
messed its passage at 100000. There
were IL 900 troops, besides the London
police, engaged in keeping the streets
clear, that there might be no interrup.
tons or accidents. Along the entire
route strong fences were erected, and
behind these were double files of in
fantry and police to keep the eager
crowd from overthrowing the barriers,
and obstructing the passage of the pro-
cession. Every shop and house along
the route brought a fabulous rental. Or
binary four.story buildings were let for
fl00 for the day. One vacant space
brought 9400.
The decorations are said to have sur
passed anything ever before known. At
the crossing of Harrington street was a
splendid triumphal arch erection, which
cost $4,000. Another, hardly less
splendid, spanned Oxford road. Flags,
festoons, tapestry, wreaths of every con-
ceivable character were displayed from
housetops and windows, and across
streets, and perfect wilderness of scar
let, gold, and blue cloth, gold fringe,
and other gorgeous decorations waved
from balconies and porticos. The Amer
leans in the city were active in contrib
uting to the success of the day. Next
to the British, the American flags were
most numerous Both were often inter
twlned with notices, such as" Friendly
Union, the best settlement of the Ala
bama question:" etc. The Offices of
London representatives of American
newspapers, and the West End office of
the Associated Press were finely deco
rated.
Batteries of artillery Numbered sa.
lutes from several points along the line
as the procession moved, and the bells
Of all the churches in the metropolis
added their peals to the joyful din.
In spite of the great excitement
which existed among the enormous
masses of spectators, there was little or
no disorder. Several serious accidents
happened, owing to the pressure of
great masses of spectators on the line
of the procession. One man was crushed
to death in Trafalgar Square, and num-
bers of people were more or less injured.
Two stands, each containing $50 per-
sons, fell and many were badly bruised.

A Feeling Plea.

In a small town in Pennsylvania there
lived Teutonic tailor named Charlie
NJ. Charles wife took sick and died,
and he mourned her loss with much
grief for time, but at the end of six
weeks he led another blushing bride to
the altar. During the wedding festivi-
ties a noisy "Calithumpian party APP
peared outside of the house, and began
dismal serenade with tin.horns and
kettles. After a few minutes the din
and confusion became so great, that
Charlie left his guests and appeared at
the door with a piteous expression of
grief on his face, and addressed the
crowd as follows:

On Thursday afternoon as Queen Victoria
had reached Buckingham Palace on her re-

side of the carriage and presented pistol
within foot of the Queens head. The
Queen bent her head down to avoid the shot,
but the pistol did not explode. The fellow
in one hand held papers granting release TO
the Fenian prisoners, which he shouted to
the Queen to sign, threa tening her at the

seized by the attendants and prevented from
doing further harm. 1t was then found that

PrenarafiOn of Hides.

The following method is recommend
ed for preparing leather; Begin by
soaking the skin or hide eight or nine
days in water, then put it in lime take
it out, remove the hair by rubbing, and
soak again in clear water until the lime
is entirely out. Put one pound of alum
TO three of salt, dissolve in vessel suf-
ficiently large to hold the hide; soak
the hide in it three or four days; take
it out and let it get half dry, and then
beat or rub until it becomes pliable.
Leather prepared by this process will
not do well for shoes, but answers for
hamstrings, back bands, and other pur
poses on the farm.

The Clerical Villain OF Baltimore.

From the Baltimore American, Feb. 26.
The apparent effort making by GER
tain parties to shield the Rev. l.. ID. Hus.
ton, late pastor of Trinity Methodist
Episcopal Church South from the charge
of seducing several children connected
with the Sabbath School of St. Paul's
Church of the same denomination, has
induced us to thoroughly invest gate
the matter. The result of this investi.
CATION has satisfied us that more base
and black hearted villain never dis
graced any walk of life than the Rev.
l.. ID. Huston has shown himself to be.
One of the victims whose young life
has been blighted by the touch of the
seducer was pupil of the Western Fe-
male High School, the daughter Of
lady well known TO many of the people
of Baltimore as lady Of culture and
refinement. She was fair scholar
stood we'll in her classes, and, up to the
day of the melancholy discovery, there
never was anything in her conduct that
excited the least suspicion on the part
of her companions or her teachers.
Two years ago he took her out with
him nominally for the purpose of
walk, but really to an designation house
kept by colored woman whom he had
brought here from Virginia, where he
accomplished her ruin. Subsequently
he often took her to this and other as.
signaton houses, and taught her, in her
childish innocence, that there was
nothing wrong in it, at the same time
frequently making her swear, with her
hand upon the Bible, that she would
not divulge the matter to her mother or
any living soul.
But this is not all the villainy charged
against this monster. The girl AYERS
that DIR. Huston had taught her to be-
lieve chat such things were common.
He told her to pick out among her ac
quaintances any young man that she !
thought would best serve the purpose, |
and invite him TO take her to one of the |
houses TO which he had so frequently |
taken her. His object evidently was to |
blast her character for reliability in case
any disclosures should at any time be |
be made against him, and the letter |
subsequently, intercepted by her mother
was undoubtedly written by him and |
signed by another name to throw doubt |
on the mothers mind as to the truth of |
the revelations her daughter had made |
TO her. No such person llVed at the |
house where the letter was dated from,
and no such person was known by the
daughter. 1t was forgery for the OBJ
ject of blasting the credibility OF the |
unfortunate child.
We have Intentionally alluded to but
one victim, and the sorrowing mother
and child beg us to mention none 9TH
ers, as they would shield his other vic
TINS from the sorrow which has almost |
crushed their hearts. Suffice it to say
that there were other children whom
he held in the same wicked snare, who
visited the same places with him, and
who were bound by like oaths not to
divulge the secret. They fortunately
have not been brought to the public
gaze, but outraged parents would have
taken the life of the villain if he had
not precipitately left the city.

An Infallible Remedy for Badness
From the HartfOrd COnrnnt.


The bald may now take courage and
smile at the frequent summer fly. 1t is
no new lotion that is to bring back the
hairs of their youth and innocence, but
a system of planting hairs in the smooth
skin of the head, exactly as cabbages
are set out in garden. A discoverer,
whose name cannot be long concealed
from a grateful world, has invented a
plan of replanting the hair where it is
lost. AS plants grow, so does the hair.
1t is rooted and thrives like vegetable
The operation of restoring hair is very
simple: put healthy hairs into the eyes
of needles and draw the needles through
the upper skin, the epidermis; being
drawn through, the hairs are left in the
skin, as thread may be left in any ma
terial by stitcher. The roots, which
have been extracted with their bulbs
complete, are brought under the cpl.
dermis. The surface so operated on is
protected at first by linen band, but
the hairs soon take root, grow, and
flourish. 1t is not stated whether hay
ing the skin punctured in this way is
and how often it is fatal.
If it is a success, the plan has many adj
vantages; one can have any color of
hair he may elect, and he can plant
variety of colors, and thus make his APP
pearance striking and beautiful.
