piled and seasoned the wood
and hauled it into the city at
five dollars a load William Elrood,
cousin of Grants, has had charge
of the farm for the past six years, and is
fast bringing it from the decay into which
it had fallen during the war. Mr.. Elrood
is one of those honest-hearted, whole
souled men whose very presence is a
source of pleasure. He has been known
to remark That there was some good
cider il the house," but his nature did
not permit him to stop talking after he
had made the remark until he had put on
another very gratifying thought, ex-
pressed in this way: "I'd like you to come
in and try some" He kindly
showed us the fine stock Of which the
President is such an admirer. There were
about forty horses and as many cattle, a
few sheep and much pork. The famous
Holsteln cattle, recently imported from
Europe, are the most admired. A band
OF white encircles their body between the
fore and hind quarters. With this excep-
ton they are jet black. The vineyard of
three and a half acres contains seventeen
choice varieties of native and foreign
grapes. A fine new stone mansion is now
going up, but the President, when at his
tarm few weeks since, intimated that he
should probably not make his home there
permanently, in the future. A branch of
the Pacific Railroad passes through tn e
farm, and stops its trains at the unromantic
name of "Grant Station" Before the war,
Grant had left his home to become an I'M
successful real estate dealer in ST. Louis.
In 1857 he was an unsuccessful office
seeker. He wanted to be County Engi-
neer, but, unfortunately, he escaped that
great mercy, as the infallible County
Court deemed rival competitor better
fitted for the position. Grant might take
Richmond, preserve the Republic, and
with honor fill the chair at Washington;
but in those days the Civil Engineer of
st. Louis County had to be made of
sterner stuff

Mental Depression.

Mental depression is disease of the nervous sys-

frequent jests, and is called by various derisiye
terms but although it is often laughed at, it is not
easy laugh the patient out Of the belief that his
ills all real for 1t is a real disorder-the general
features Of which are constant fear, anxiety and
gloom. The external senses, as well as the mental
faculties, often manifest symptoms of derange-
ment. Noise, of falling water, and ringing in
the ears are complained Of, while black specks and
fiery sparks frequently fit before the vision. Adj
monitions like these should not be dsregarded, as
they may if neglected, terminate in insanity. The
seat of the disease in the brain and nervous sys-
tenn, and to control the malady it is necessary to
powerful tonic and Alternative, which will cor

which it is the safest well the best Of

be tonics, are pulled up from time to time in the
newspapers, but the sufferer had better let them

what ii Is represented to be.

THE SKEPTICAL CoNvINCED.-Eyery advance
in Medicine, every new remedy has encoun-
tered an opposition, which is the test of truth.
Galen and Jenner only were believed when
they had proven their discoveries against OPP
position. But men are observing, and benefits
always make believers. No incredulity can
stand the silent argument of good results.
When DR.. Walker proclaimed that he had pro-
duced from the medicinal herbs of California
an Elixir that would regenerate the sinking sys-
tenn and cure diseases not organic, the incred-
ulous shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR
BITTERs is now the Standard Restorative of
the Western World. The truth could not be
resisted Under the operation of the new
remedy, Dyspeptics regained their health, APP
petite and strength, the Bilious and Consti-
pated were relieved of every distressing symp-
tom; the Consumptive and Rheumatic rapidly
recovered; Intermittent and Remittent Fevers
were broken up; the faint of Scrofula was
eradicated. Who could gainsay facts like
these. Not even the Faculty. Skepticism
was routed. All doubts as to the claims of
the Bitters to the first place in the first rank
of modern meG icnes were silenced, and this
wonderful preparation is to-day the most pop
ular Tonic, Alternative, and Blood Depurent
ever advertised in America In common with
other journalists, we are free to add our testi-
mony to this remedy. 1t is a domestic meIi-
cine, and no household should be without it.

A Four.Legged Customer.

Yesterday at about the hour Of twelve a
reckless, diSsipated old grey equine was me,
andering along Cherry street, with sad
and detected expression Of cOuntenance,
and wearing the look of one worn with
spreeing. When he got opposite the Max
well house, he paused, looked to the right,
and after thinking for moment, walked
deliberately into Mr.. Landauer's cigar store
with the confident air that this was the
house he was looking for.
Everybody in sight became at once inn
pressed with the belief that lac did really
intend to take smoke, and rushed to the
spot; but the poor fellow sicllened at the
first scent of the tobacco, and lay down at
once on the floor. 1t was with great diff

mitted an improperly, in thus intrudin9

when a determined individual advanced
and seized him by the fore-tock that he was
induced to 90 ont and seek his owl
quarters. As he submissiyely followed TIN
determined man out, and along the street
he looked as if he could say with Solomon
1hat this also was "yanity and veXation o
spirit" IIe went away evidently feeling

State is that brought out by the Edgetield
Street Railroad Company. 1t was put OH

of the car on the inside is magnificent re-
flector. which answers the double purpose
of lighting up the car brilliantly and at the
same time Illuminating the lantern top,
constructed, in part, Of stained glass, and
in the front, rear and sides Of which are

letters. which can be distinctly seen and
read distance of a hundred yards. The
finishes inside and outside are plain, but
neat. The seats are a decided improve

and perforated. This car is two feet longer
than the others used On this road and will
be run at night. 1t was ordered by Mr..

From the Sparta Index.
Without reference to the claims of
any individual, we are in favor of NOM
mating some man who II he an expo
nent of Democratic principles. The
fact that such man voted for Andrew
johnson last year, we think, should
have no influence against him. Per-
sonally, Andrew johnson is entitled to
no consideration, but he was, to some
extent, the representatives. principle,
and that principle ought to be respect
ed. We do not believe that all the
good and able men who voted for him
were led to do so by his personal in
tuence. There were, as they thought,
abuses of power by the party leaders,
which needed to be reformed, and they
supported johnson as a rebuke to those
who were pe1veIting the noble princi-
pies OF the party to base purposes. To
Ostracise such men because they acted
upon their convictions, would be both
impolitic and unjust.
But to nominate man who is not a
true Democrat, or one simply because
he was a johnson man, is what we new
er viii consent to. Whilewe are willing
to do full justice to all men of princi-
pies, but we are not willing that simply
pure Johnsonismt shall be crammed
down the threats. of the Tennessee De-
mocracy.
From the Clarksv1lle Chronicle.
We feel decidedly cheered by the
views of the UNION AND AMERICAN
upon the political outlook" in Ten
nessee, and we wish we could add that
we are convinced. but now," SAYS
that journal, "that every Democratic
journal in the State, has urged the i'm
portance and duty of mutual conf
dence and cooperation, the field wears
to us, more cheerful aspect. = =
And if Tennessee retains the spirit Of
to-day, no Radical fox can steal off
with the prize for our quarrelings over
living men or dead issues"
The Cet of our dependence is the
fear II the spirit of to-day" will be
retained, because that spirit manifests
fatal Indifference, on the part Of the
people to the great issues involved IL
the struggle between destructive anC
corrupt Radicalism, on the one part
and patriotic Conservatism ON the
other. AS measured by time
we were, at the last election, one
year nearer to the scenes of disfran
chisement, robbery, bayonet tyranny
and corrupt misrule, than we are to-
day; yet at that time mutual conf
dence and cooperation gave place t.
division. discord and partial defeat. II
is not the Radical fox we fear, but
the wolves in sleeps clothing to b.
found in our political fold, and but fol
the Independents, Tennessee would not
have been dishonored by a majority
representation in Congress, made up Of
out and out Radicals. And since it /;
characteristic of mankind to be less
cautious the farther we recede from
past wrongs and dangers, we can not
feel safe against their recurrence, 81
long as apathy prevails and vigilance
is relaxed. We hope, however, the
UNION AND AMERICAN is right, anG
we are wrong; and we should not hest
tate to adopt its sanguine view of the
question, did we not see the quiet en-
ergy of the Radicals and their pro
gramme for the next campaign.
