GaIh's Portrait Of Grants Head
GOSpeIIer.


Special Correspondence of the Chicago
Tribune.
What kind of a man is DR.. Newman so
writes one of my fairest correspondents.
This | know because she curled her capitals
and BACKED her eyes, and left perceptible
odor of new-mOwn hay in the half-sheet of
foOlscap. Thrifty goddess, behold the Doc
tor!
He is a lustv fellow TO wrestle with an
gels, and would break down Jacobs ladder
if he set his foot on it to climb to Heaven.
He weighs upwards of two hundred pounds,
and his hips. thighs, back and belly are
adapted to fight at the doors of fairs on
free admission days. 4 certain kind of oil
is resident in his skin, which oozes out in
that gracious sort of perfume peculiar to
of a fine brown color, worn long, aud his
features are large. effective and without
senSibilitY. Broad shOuldered. of good
height, well dressed in blue brOadclOth.
with a flash of gold somewhere about his
watch fixings. and forwardness, worlGliness,
and visible godliness all over him-such is
the hyperbole OF a preacher.
The clerical office is. upon occasion, the
most needful and healing which man can
fill. 1t brings the oil of balm into the
households of people bereaved, and, when
physic is done, doctors the mind and heart.
The blessed fellowship of a true man in the
his hand upon us, saying, My brother
take heart! There is higher life than
this" For the sake of this great remedial
and refining office, and to protect it against
presumers, the press of the country has. al
most with unanimity, condemned the whole
course of the Ostentatious and intriguing
procedure of DR.. Newman.

WoMAN's EDUCATION IN FRANCE.-A wo-
mans movement, We read, is progl essing in
France and it is of a practical character.
Girls in that country are not allowed, as
here, to leap from the position of a BARN aid
or scullery drudge TO that of goverEess,
but are required TO gain diploma after the
test of three examinations. No doubt there
is a little pedantry, with an equal degree of
shallowness, about them; still, the duties
they indicate are useful. 1t may. in fact,
be suspected that some fiippancy of thought
and judgment arises from the practice; but
we must remember the circumstances, and
it is easy TO believe that habit of studying
and thinking is useful TO a teacher. sup
posing ourselves to be so many Persons and
Johnsons, we may, nevertheless. take de-
light in hearing some young girl, just en-
terIHg life, debating. in even the crIldest
essay, on moral or sacred subjects. When
finished, it may only be fit for the waste
paper basket; but the mind whence it ema-
mates may Notwithstanding have been i'm
proved.

KANE COUNTY, ILLINOIS.

Whereas, The best interests of our great
agricultural State have been sadly neglected
by our legislators, from large number
spending a great portion of their time at
home. and riding free upon our railroads,
and thus favOring corporate monopolies at
the expense of the people; and
Whereas, The railroad companies openly
defy the law. and disregard the interests of
the tillers of the soil, in their unjust dis
elimination on freights, charging us all our
produce is worth, in many cases, to ship it
over their roads; therefore, be Il
Resolved. That the citizens of Ka.e
county in convention assem- bled, having at
heart the productive interests OF our county,
look upon the granting of free passes TO our
Legislature, in order to obtain official fa-
vors, as a system of bribery which is no
better than highway robbery, and should be
denounced such by all honest and law
abiding citizens.
Resolved, That the farmers and Others
interested in the antimonOpoly movement
of the several towns of Kendall and Du-
Page counties be invited to send delegates
to meet with us at Aurora on the oath of

tiou of farmers at Springfield, April 2, 1873.
Resolved. That all members of Congress
who voted tor or received the benefit of the
bill tor increase of pay, are utterly unwor-
gl3N of public confidence.
Resolved. That we will not give any man
our support for Congress VINO will not
pledge himself to the repeal of that law.
Whereas, The duties on iron add greatly
to the expense of our agricultural imple-
ments md the duties on many other arti-
cles that all farmers have to buy add need
lessly to our expenses:
Resolved, That all duties on imports are
too high.
Whereas. Many of the railroad companies
are interested in the manufacture of iron,
and will work against us on the tariff ques-
tiou, as they are robbing us in freghts, and
we must help ourselves out of our difficult
ties.

Biographical.


From the y. Y. World.
We thus part with the last of the four
men who acted the most distinguished and
controlling parts in the administration of
the Government during the war. Mr.. Lin
coin himself fell while the ConfedeIacy was
in its expiring throe. Mr.. Stanton, who
directed the War Department in that great
contest, survived him two or three years.
1t il but few months since Mr.. Seward
was laid in his final resting place, and but
a few weeks since his eulOgy was pronounce
ed by the ablest OF the ENJOYS who served
under him. Mr.. Chase, who has now also
gone, perhaps acted more important part
than any of them.

PIKE COUNTY.

Resolved. That we approve of the action
of the farmers of Mclean County, and rec
ommend our State Legislature to protect the
farmers of this State by defending any suit
that may be brought againt them by rail-
way companies for refusing to pay any but
legal fare.
ANOTHER EXPRESSION FROM THE SAME
COUNTY.
Resolved, That we deem it unjust that
railroads be classified and allowed to charge
according to the gross earnings. This, by
reflection, will be found q snare, concocted
by railroad monop0lies.
Resolved. That we condemn the present
system of tariff. We do not ask free trade
but great reduction of tariff upoa those
articles required in the construction of rail-
roads aud Of shipping.
Resolved. That we are in favor of putting
down mOnopolieS; that the time has come
when we will no longer put up with their
impOsitions.
Resolved. That we resent the act of any
manufacturing company who will refuse to
sell implements to our club or any Farm
ers' Club upon the terms they sell TO their
agents.
Resolved, That we, with all farmers,
make every effort by uniting in purpose, TO
put down monopolies-to break up the
powers centralized in them.
Resolved, That we throw away party dis
tinction, and select for our officers men of
understanding and integrity; men who will
not sacrifice honor for money by taking
brides; men who will not legislate for them
selves, but for the whole people.
IRooUoIs COUNTY.
Resolved, That we will no longer be con-
trolled by moneyed monopolies or ruled by
rings. -
Resolved, That we believe it our duty to
select and vote for men in the future whose
interests are our interests; whose cause is
our cause; and whose greatest and noblest
purpose is to protect those who have SUI
fered, and are stiH suffering, from unjust
and ruinous legislation
Resolved, That we do not wish other
branches of industry TO be taxed for the
benefit of our interests; neither do we con-
sent TO be taxed to protect other branches of
industry; but we do ask for equal and ex-
act justice, and we propose not to cease to
use all honorable means until our purposes
are accomplished
These meetings are responses to the
action of State Conven ton which viii be
followed by another still larger and more
