Summers position may be easily I'M
derstood. lie viii not support Grant,
either before or after the Philadelphia
nomination, nor will he give his coun-
tenance to any Democratic Presidential
nominee under any circumstances what.
ever The story of his presiding at
the Cincinnati Convention was simply
absurd on its face, because nobody had
any power to offer him such a position.
There can be no question, however, that
he strongly inclines to the Cincinnati
movement. and if the nominee is an
influential National Republican, Sum-
ner's support can be counted on. The
same may be said Of Horace Greeley.
With two such men, and the hosts they
will carry with them, fighting against
the Administration, the issue will GER
tainly not be so doubtful with them as
without them. -NashviHe Banner.

A ROMANCE.

CHAPTER 1.-She stood beside the

upon her head--upon her back, the
richest kind of buds.
Her lover stood beside her, with white
kids and dickey clean; the last was
twenty-one years old, the first was sew.

The parsons job was over, every one
had kissed the bride, and wished the
young pair happiness, and laughed and
danced and cried
The festive scene was ended, the last
words had been said, the happy maid
had simmcred down, the last gay guest
had fled.
CHAPTER ll.-She stood beside the
washtub, with her red hands in the
suds, while at her slip-shod feet there
lay pile Of dirty buds.
Her husband stood beside her. the
c7ossest man alive; the Last was twenty,
nine yearo old, the first was twenty
five.
The heavy wash was over, and the
clothes hung up to dry, and Tom
had stuck his finger in tho dirty baby's
eye.
Tom had been spanked, and supper
made on crust of bread; and the hap
Ply wife and husband went grumbling
off to bed.

How WE FADE. As the trials of
life thicken, and the dreams of other
days fade one by one, in the deep vista
of disappointed hope, the heart grows
weary of the struggle, and we begin
to realize our iusiguifcance. Those
who have climbed to the pinnacle of
fame, or revel in luxury and wealth,
60 to the grave at last with the poor
mendicant who begs by the wayside,
and like him are soon forgotten.
Generation after generation, says an
eloquent writer, have felt as we feel.
and their fellows were as active in life
as ours are now. They passed away
AS a vapoT, while nature wore the same
aspect of beauty as when the Creator
commanded her to be. The heaven,
will be as bright over our graves a;
they are now around our path; The
world will have the same attraction fol
ofsprings vet unborn that she had ono,
for ourselves, and that she has now fol-
our children.

thus telegraphs on the 18th: "Mr.
Sumnerhas been badgered on all sides
to-day by those who desire to learn
where he is to be found politically in
the presidential campaign. To his
senatorial friends he repeats that he
has not said that he was going To- the
Cincinnati convention, nor that he had
been asked and had consented to be,
come its presiding officer. He says he
has some hopes that Grant will not be
renominaed by the Office holders al
the Philadelphia convention, in which
event he will support the nominees OF
that convention. If the liberal repub,
lcan convention at Cincinnati should
nominate Charles Francis Adams O,
Senator Trumbull he would probably
support either one; but according to q
full understanding of his position Mr.
Sumner avows his unalterable hostility

The History OF A NATIONAL.
REMEDY.-Hore is the history of the
most celebrated tonic of the age in a
nutshell. In 1860 it was announced
that certain combination of vegetable
ingredients, with a pure diffusive slim.
ulant, was working wonders in the
cure of chronic dyspepsia, nervous
debility, liver complaint, periodical
fevers, rheumatism and constitutional
weakness, The unpretending name
given to the specific was Plantation
Biters. The statement attracted the
attention of invalids everywhere. The
new remedy received a fair trial, and
the results more than confirmed all
that had been said in its praise.
Thence forward it was grand success.
The business columns of the press
spread the glorious news far and wide,
and the martyrs to indigestion, bilious
ness, physical prostratioh and prema..
ture decay, as if by common consent,
sought relief from the new vegetable
restorative. They found what they
sought. From that time to the present
the increase in the demand for Planta-
ton Bitters has been one of the most
striking events in this age.

GRANT IN THE EMPIRE STArf.-A
New York correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial writes: 1t would
be mistake to infer from the fact of
the Republicans carrying both branches
of the Legislature last fall, that the
States of New York is assuredly Re-
publican or will certainly vote for
Grant. The struggle of last fall was
against the Tammany ring, and not
only did all the Republican factions
combine for its overthrow, but they
were backed up by the entire German
vote, and by tens of thousands OF
Democrats. Now, one-half of the
Republicans in the Legislature belong
to the Greeley wing of the party, and
are opposed to the denomination of
Grant; the Reform Democrats are of
course opposed to it; and there is no
doubt that the German-Am erican vote.
as whole, is opposed to it. Now, if
the opposition party will nominate
Presidential candidate who can secure
the combined support of these anti-
Administration elements. Grant will
be overwhelmingly defeated in the
State.

MRS. CARL SCHURZ.

A Washington letter to the New
Orleans Times gives the following in
teresting incident of the great speech
of the Missouri Senator:
The effort made by Carl Schurz will
be long remembered as one of the most
remarkable exhibits of oratory ever
witnessed in a chamber famous for such
display. Those now living who can
look back with knowledge to the dav
when Webster. Clay, Calhoun and
Corwin were won't to charm the ears of
hearers in that forum, readily admit
that this effort of Senator Schurz towers
above them all. Ills is saying much,
for the natural inclination is to exac>
gerate the past. The orators of a
former day were remarkable, but this
one of ours is wonder. Senator
Schurz has a remarkably clear and
rather piercing voice. He speakspith
a great command of language end a
| somewhat German accent, but SO far
rs choice of words and construction of
sentences are concerned. in the purest
English. For hours he held that vast
assembly, and when he closed there
was strange mingling of relief and
regret such rs one feels at the end of a
beautiful and tragic opera when the
last strain pours out as the curtain
drops.
/ happened to be witness to little
scene of domestic beauty that was TO
me exceedingly touching. Mrs. Schurz,
wife of the senator, is one of the most
beautiful and accomplished women in
Washington. Her experience in social
life has not diminished her sweet Ger,
man nature, that is as imprlsive and
gentle as child. She had read, as |
subsequently learned, the attack made
by Senator Conkling on her husband
and wife like she thought it terrible and
unanswerable. On the Tuesday Sena-
tor Schurz was to reply she wandered
about restless!y, and at last unable TO
control herself, about 3 o'clock went
to the capitol. She thought he would
have concluded by that time, and all
for good or bad must be over. At the
first entrance she found the doorkeeper
with his head thrust inside. She asked
for her husband.
"Oh! madam, cried the man, "he's
making such a speech Come in; all
the ladies are on the floor"
! She held back, and page hurryine

"Do come in" begged the Massa,
chusetts orator, "and hear your hus-
band in the grandest effort that ever
