Grants Generosity.

THE generosity of Mr. Grant in secur-
ing certificates of good moral character to
to Federal officeholders when they resign
is very touching. 1t Will be remembered
that when Tom Murphy's administration
of the New York Custom House had be-
come so VIGOROUSLY corrupt that leading
radicals feared the consequences in the
then approaching Presidential election,
and compelled him to resign, Grant wrote
a letter expressing profound regret, and
commenting his integrity and capacity in
the most extravagant terms. So when
Mr.. Schuyler ColfaX retired from the Vice
Presidency, an exposed and dlsgraced
corruptionist, he was followed to South
Bend by a letter from the President, con-
veying warm Endorsement of his entire
career. And now Mr. Henry D. Cooke,
Governor of the District of Columbia,
having burdened the people of that terri
tory with debt of 1000, 900, and hav-
ing brought such condition of affairs
that the schools can not be opened for the
want of funds, has resigned, when the
President Immediately gives him good
character in language that would be ter
ribly sarcastic if it were not used in down
right earnest. Thus, Mr.. Grant tells Gov
ernor Cooke that under his administration
1.-The National Capital has advanced to-
ward what it should he with a rapidity
that pleaseS every one" If bankruptcy
and ruin are the destiny which is desired
for the National Capital, it must be ad-
mitted that the District of Columbia has
made good progress toward it under the
auspices of the retiring Governor. But
the simple fact is that Cooke, as the head
center of the most villainous ring that
ever existed on this continent, bled the
people of the District to the utmost, and
then left them to get out of the difficulty
as best they could.-ChicagoT Times.

VentrilOquiSnl.

ACCORDING to a writer in the Chicago
Adcdnce, the ventriloquist's art is as easily
learned as falling off a log. He maintains
that there is no difficulty in acquiring the
power. In the first place, speak any word
or sentence in your own natural tone;
then open the mouth and fix your jaws
fast, as though trying to hinder any one
from opening them further or shutting
them, draw the tongue back in Il ball.
speak the same words, and the sound i'll
stead of being formed in the mouth will
be formed in the pharynx. Great atten-
ton must be paid to holding the jaws
rigid. The sound will then be found to
initiate voice from the other side of the
door when it is closed or under 4 floor or
or through Il wall. To initiate sound
behind door partly open, the voice must
not be altered from the original note or
PITCH but be made in another part of the
mouth. This is done by closing the lips
tight and drawing the corner of the mouth
downward, or toward the ear. Then let
the lips open at that corner only, the 9TH
er part to remain closed Next, breathe,
as it We're, the words out of the orifice
formed. Do not speak the words distinct
ly, but eXpel the breath in short pulls at
each word, and as loud as possible. BY
so doing, you produce the illusion in the
minds of your listeners that they hear the
same voice which they had heard when
the door was closed, but more distinctly
and nearer on account of the door being
open. The lips must always be used when
the ventriloquist wishes it to appear that
the sound comes through an obstacle, but
from some one close at hand.

able success. 1t is known as colonizing
voters, in political parlance. 1t carried
Maine and North Carolina last year and
thus contributed more than any other sin
gle cause to the reelection of our soldier
President.
All these devices which it is plain are
employed, as the late Mr.. Greeley would
have said, with naked intent to deceive
and defraud," are the joint inventions OF
Chicago and the Republican party Hence
it is fair to suppose that Mr. F'arwell be-
ing both Il ChIcagoan and Republican
Congressman, made use of them to the
detriment of Mr.. Makers personal for
tunes as before stated. What view "A Chi
cago court will take of the matter remains
to be seen. But it is to be presumed that
if Mr.. Farwell can establish the fact that
the increase in the value of king-fulls has
kept pace with the rise of other Chicago
property in the last thirteen years, Mr..
Maher will be non-suited. 1t will be an
interesting trial, and will undoubtedly de-
rive its chief interest from the fact that,
when the question of valuable considera-
ton comes in, it will be necessary to es-
tablish upon the sworn statements of ex-
perts the exact pecuniary value of king
full on trays; for it is recorded that this
was the hand which MIR. Farwell held
against Mr. Makers queen-full on aces,
and which was the cause of all the latter S

A Sign.

We note, as a very interesting sign of
the times, a growing irreverence on the
part of the Republican papers toward
President Grant, and a freedom of criti-
cism of his acts which, twelve months
ago, they would not have dared to in
dulge. Take the comments of the two
Republican organs in this city on the re-
cent appointment of Sheppard to be Gov
ernor of the District. The Democrat says
of it:
tration will not be strengthened by the announce
ment that the President has appointed Mr.; shep-
pard to be Governor of the District Of Columbia
Millions Of dollars have been squandered under
the auspices Of the Board Of Public Works, Of
which Mr.. Sheppard was President, and his promo
ton to the Governorship looks rery much Ike q

reputation of salary grabbers like Carpenter and

eXcites adverse comments and great surprise. Mr..
Sheppard's appointment is criticised Of per-
sondL unftness. 1t seems hardly fair TO appoint
seem to Justify the means no matter how coarse
these latter may be-"
The sudden fall of the President to a
point where he becomes the subject of
such unfriendly Republican criticism as
this, is the result OF the humiliating de-
feat of the Administration candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts,. Since the
Boston Adrertiser, the leading organ of
the New England Republicans, has had
the courage to call the President to &C
count for his conduct, other Republican
organs are having the audacity to think
they can handle him in similar way.
The Presidents position is becoming

Picking and Curing Hops.

THE following article, written some
years ago by r. Van Horn, Pierstown, n.
V, is timely now, and may be of great
service to inexperienced hop growers:
In the first place, no grower should raise
more hops than he has kiln or kilns with
capacity to dry within eight or twelve
hours after picking; for instance, hops
picked today should be cured or taken Oft
of kiln as soon as possible in the morn
ing, for the kiln to cool off, and the hops
picked in the forenoon, tomorrow, if not
sufficient for kiln, should be spread on
kiln and lay until night, when the balance
should be put on and fire started imme-
diately, and a good, strong heat kept up
from four to six hours the exact time de-
pending somewhat on the height of the
kiln and the thickness of the hops spread
on, which never should be more than
from twelve to fifteen inches. The longer
| the hops hang on the poles, and the near
er they come TO maturity, the less heat
and time it takes to cure them. The kiln
should have plenty of air below, not one
half of them having one-half enough;
also draft enough above to let the steam
escape.
Hops never should be turned on the
kiln. Some time, or any time when they
are dried, SO the hops on the top open and
the steam has all escaped, it will do to go
through them with scraper or the feet,
and mix them. One great trouble is,
most of the hops are ovcr-dried, which in
jures the favor. This Is done by keeping
the heat up after the hops are nearly dried
| through. a sack or bag of hops, if ten
bushel boxes, weighs from forty-five TO
fifty pounds, which depends Oh the
length of time the picker is picking the
same, and something on the weather, as
hops wilt and settle more i'll warm days
than cool ones, and weigh from fourteen
to seventeen pounds, when cured, and
sometimes, if picked clean, twenty pounds
| to the box after being cured. This is to
show you what moisture has TO be taken
out of Il box of green hops, which l sup
| pose must escape i'll the steam.
Diseased or moldy hops require more
| heat and more close attention than Il
sound hop; and often hops diseased will
be very bad at the bottom ofthe poles and
| some at top of poles sound, as was my
| friend Dorr Russell's, in 1867 l found
! by taking them off the kiln hot, that the
diseased hops, which had begun decom-
posing when picked, almost all break up,
leaving sound hops to show-as when
examined by dealers they always open a
whole hop.
Now as to using birthstone: AS a
| general thing there is too much used. OF
| course it depends on what condition the
| hops come off the poles; there is II kind
| of rust on hops that birthstone viii help
| and there is IA sort of cankcr comes on
| hops that birthstone will not affect; and
| there is one kind of Il green hop that may
be benefited by using birthstone, making
| them siraw-colOr; and there is another
kind Of green hop it had better he kept off
entirely. II the dryer is good judge, he
! Will make the proper distinction.
| One Thing more: Growers often pick
| hops too soon and then birthstone too
