Accusations Against the President.

READING the accusations against Presi-
dent Grant in some of the papers, that
during his late visit to Chicago he forgot
alike his self-respect and the dignity of
his high office, we are reminded of the
celebrated story of Hon. S. A. Douglas,
who was even more violently assailed.
They laid every transgression at his door,
and he bore all in silence until he was
charged with stealing n horse. That fill.
ed him with anger, and he brought suit
for SANDER "And would you believe it?"
he used to say in burst of laughter,
"they proved it on me After that sub
mitted to every story that was started, and
let it die of its own poison" General
Grants safety consists not only in his
calm Indifference, but also in his almost
constant publicity. We never had a
President who saw or was seen by more
people. He is never hidden away. He is
ready to meet his friends and fellow-citi.
zens of all conditions at all times, and
seems to be glad to be among them. Call
it mistake, if you please; it certainly
shows that he is not afraid of criticism in
to his manners, his habits, or his opinions.
He has, for instance, been much in Phila-
delphia, the guest of our main hotel, and
the guest of citizens of both parties, meet
clergy more than all, perhaps; and yet we
have yet to hear the first whisper
against him in any quarter OF the thous-
ands he has met not one has ever laid
| the accusation at his door now trumpeted
| from Chicago and as emphatically con-
tradicted. We are proud to make this
statement for the honor of Philadelphia,
and we may add, though it seems unneces-
sary, that among General Grants fastest
| friends here are men of the severcst NOR
ais and the strictest temperance; men
who never have asked q favor at his
hands, and who stand aloof from all kinds
of politics and ambitions. They are in
fact far more his confidential advisers than
any Of the party leaders, and they never
go to him save to help the cause of peace,
the public credit, or Christian reconstruc-
ton. They confide in his character.
They believe in his honesty. And they
would assuredly do neither being wholly
Independent of him and of his patronage,
| if he were the unworthy person his Chicago
enemies declare him to be. A statement
like this is worth library of affidavits.
The subject is not pleasant one in any
of its aspects, bat, as we are writing about
it, we cannot forget that the same stories
were told Of him during the war, and yet
he fought it through without complaint
or denial, and when he finished his work
he received the acclamations of a grateful
people, and was chosen twice to the
Presidency, the last time almost by accla-
nation, though all the time pursued by
these malignant and cruel misrepresenta.
tions. After such an experience one
would think he can afford to maintain his
silence and his assailants can afford to
stop.-F6TRey's Weekly Press.

Vegetable Instinct.

If pan of water be placed within six
inches of either side of the stem of a
pumpkin or vegetable marrow, it will in
the course of the night approach it, and
will be found in the morning with one of
the leaves on the water.
This experiment may continue nightly
until the plant begins to fruit. If a prop
be placed within six inches of a young
cOnvovulus, or scarlet runner, it will find
it, although the prop may be shifted daily,
If, after it has twined some distance up
the prop, it be unwound and tWincd in
the opposite direction, it will return to its
original position or die in the attempt
yet, notwithstanding, if two of these
plants grow near each other, and have no
stake around which they can entwine, one
of them will alter the direction of the
spiral, and they will twine around each
other.

Marrying an Actress.

In the winter of 1918-19, says writer
in the July atlantic, party of bright and
lovely young people had assembled to
spend the season of Christmas festivity at
spacious old cOuntry-seat not far from
Dublin. Several of them, ladies as well
as gentlemen, had already acted credita-
bly, on the amateur stage, so they fitted
out large hall as theater, and got up
several standard comedies in manner
that ELECTED hearty applause, Encour-
aged by this success, they thought they
might manage one of Shakespeare's
tragedies, and their choice fell on "Romeo
and Juliet" They succeeded in casting
all the characters except One-that Of
Juliet herself 1t was offered to several
young ladies in succession, but they all
persistently refused fearing to attempt so
arduous part. In this dilemma some
one suggested an eXpedient. Miss
O'Neill, then in the zenith of her fame,
was an actress of unblemished reputa-
tion, most ladylike in demeanor and emf
nent talent, whom | once saw as Juliet.
She was then regarded, justly / imagine,
as the most perfect interpreter of Shake
speare's embodiment of fervid passion
and devotion in the daughter of Capulet,
. that had ever appeared on the London
boards; her singular beauty admirably
seconding her rare powers, and turning
the heads of half the fashionable young
men of the day. She was universally re-
spected, was often admitted to the best
society, and had several times assisted at
private theatricals.
1t so happened that she was then in
Dublin, and for the time without an en-
gagement The proposal was to write her
and ask her. on her own terms, to take the
part of Juliet This was eagerly acceded
to, and letter forwarded accordingly,
The part of Romeo had been assigned to
gentleman of fortune and family, Mr..
Beecher, of Ballygibben, County Cork;
.jel,ae epcOre, as the French say, for he was
still on the right sideSf forty, and excel
ing all his companionsin histrionic talent
To him, as soon as the invitation had been
given, came one of his intimate friends
"Beecher," said he, stake my advice be
fore 1t is too late. Throw up the part OF
Romeo dare say some one else can be
found TO take it,"
"Back out of the part, and why, prayi
Do you think my acting is not worthy to
support Miss O'Neill's?"

Growing Clover too Coarse.

IT is sometimes objected to the clover
that it is too coarse as feed--this being
the case where it is grown on strong
ground, making large stalk. This can
be remedied by sowing thick, and thus
getting fine-stemmed crop, also shorter
in length, the stalks varying from fifteen
to twenty-five inches, according to the
quality of the land, the season, and
whether plaster has been used, but the
point is to SOW thick-from ten to twelve
quarts per acre, evenly scattered on mel
low soil and brushed in if sown with
spring grain. This forms close growth,
and must be cut before it lodges much,
and this is generally about the time of
Towering. Else if lodged badly, and
permitted to remain for some time, it will
partially rot and lose some of its quality
as feed. But harvested in time and
well cured, there will be no deterioration
of the high value which this plant has
obtained among our best dairymen.
Three tons per acre may be thus realized
and if the season is a good one, the
amount may be doubled by two cuttings;
and clover should always be cut twice,
each time at the blOssOming period. The
medium clover is earlier and finer stem.
med than the large kind, and less apt to
lodge, and always permits of two cut
tings On poor land, clover may be
grown successfully, improving the land
But it may be raised on the richest OF
land with the most gratifying results
only get it close so as to have it fine
stemmed, and cut in time.-Ohio Farmer
