Grant Hears the News.

When the returns from Ohio and Indians
reached the president, together with the fact
that some lunatic had put "for rent" on the
White House, Grant asked Babcock what it
all meant "Not;ce to quit" responded brif
ly the High Custodian of the Public Grounds.

hold my family and the picture of them.
Where in tho devil sm I expected to put that
picture, I'd like to kGowY
"Your friends could build you as big a
house in st. Louis" humbly suggested Bah.
''St. Louis" roared the savior of his coun>
try, "that's pretty idea. Follow Sherman
to St. Louis and have him cavorting round as
general of the army and me nothing"
SIT is proposed, your Excelency, to make
Sherman your successor and restore to you
the generalship of the army"
''Bahcock." exclaimed his Excellency,
turning blue, telegraph Belkuap to arm the
marine band with navy revolvers, and Childs
and Murphy to meet me in Washington, and
order Robson to concentrate himself on
Washngton-I'll see who vacates"
And His Excellency drank sixteen cock
tails and smoked forty cigars, that made even

A PATRON.
Ihe4sIA. Col Baylor, chairman
sof tie Executive Committee of West Vir>
;ginia State; Grange, writes us that the annual
session of that State Grange will convene at
Grafton, on the second Tuesday of January
next, and adds, "Will it not be advisable to
have delegation from your State Grange to
attend? Interchange of ideas and social in
tercourse will make our organization more eff
fective and will add greatly to brotherly love
and fraternal union" We fully endorse Bro
Baylor's sentiments, and will advocate the ap-
pointment of committee to attend the W
Virginia State Grange meeting. As the
Pennsylvania State Grange meets at Williams
port, on the first Tuesday in January, just one
week previous to the West Virginia meeting,
we hope and expect Bro. Baylor and other
Patrons from his State to meet with us

How deeply we deplore the untoward re-
suit of this contest we need scarcely say.
We believe that it would have better COM
ported with interests of the nation to have
continued the ruling power in the hands that
led the country from slavery to freedom, aud
from civil war to peace and reunion But it
is through adversely of this kind that great
organizations are led to strengthen and purify
themselves for achievements, demanding high
cr powers than they had previously developed.

Tho Vondome Column Is tniBhed. All that is
wanting now is tho Bkattle but ttat will have to
await political events. It would bo manifaotly
absurd to place any other statue on monument
dedicated to Napoleon than one OF tho Emperor.
Moreover, the vote Of tho Assembly decided
mer state" But 1t Is impossible to predict What
folly tho French may commit. A French paper
gives romantic account Of tho atatuo, wall
known to Englshmcn, which sur1nountol tue
tho work Of Chaudet, it was removed in ISIS to
be melted down, and to furniRh the bronze for
tho statue OF Henry ". The workmon, theu
Bonapartists, clubbed together to buy bronze to
replace the metal which was sacred to tho1n,
and with which they made several reduced copiea
BtatuotteB aro to this day in tho lofs leg Of the
good King Henry. The littla Victory, which tho
Emperor hold in hia hand, escaped tho breaking
up, and WAS discovered some yeard aftarward. Ii
ls32 the statne Was replaced, bnt It was the En-
peTor as tho Little Corporal" who in singular
ly bad tsAte figured on tho summit OF column
Which ia an imitation Of tho pillar OF Trajan at
Nomo. When Napoleon III. wished to restore
the work Of Ohaudct, 1t WAS intruatod to n. Du-
mont, who was fortunate enough to bo able to
replace tue original Victory ii C.nsars hand.
After tho overthrow Of the column by tho Com
muniBts, all tho pieces Of tho Btatuo wore recoy-
orod except tho Victory. A complete model.
however, exists in the artists atudia. The ro-
puhQtuR o. tne column began c16htdon mouths
ago, and has cost Isl, COO francs, tho sum voted
for it, besides 3 supplementary sum for paving,
Seven hundred pIeces Of bronze had to bo pieced
together again. and each plato was mado good
separately. Here nose had to be replaced, or
leg, or an entiro figure. So exceptional is this
kind ot work, that there Is precise torn in art
or manufactures to describe it adequately. It ia
