THE PRESIDENTS OPPORTUNITY. "A contem-
porary, whose name unfortunately escapes us,
asks :-"Will President Grant heed the
HERALD's timely appeal? No President since
Washington has had such round of opportuni-
ties to place himself rightly and grandly before
the country and the world as General Grant.
On him now rests truly awful responsibility.
With one stroke Of his pen he can literally
prove that it is, indeed, mightier than the
sword. With one stroke of his pen he can
match all his sword strokes in the importance
Of the results" There could be no truer
words. Opportunity comes rarely in life
time General Grant has now an opportunity
like that OF Washington. when he approved
the Jay Treaty like that of Jackson, when he
suppressed nulliAcation, and only second to
that Of Lincoln, when he proclaimed emanci-
patton. Let him destroy the spirit Of repudia-
ton and thus round and cap his fame

TEMPERANCE IN PHnADELpHrA-The tenn
perance crusaders in Philadelphia, discarding
the Western notion Of singing and praying
bands, have determined quietly to importune
every saloon keeper in the city to give up his
business. There can be no objection to this
course, and the success Of tho crusaders will
be matter for conQratulation.

CONCERNING MONUMENTS. now have o
proposition to build monument, at cost Of
one hundred thousand dollars, to the memory
of Sumner, Greeley, Chase and Seward. We
do not oppose that tendency in the human
mind to express itself in monuments. 1t
comes from the spirit Of reverence, one Of
the most beautiful traits in our nature, the
underlying element of truth and religion.
But the difficulty about monuments is the
danger of building them too soon. True
fame is matter Of several generations. The
Roman Church does not canonize its saints
until time has proved their sanctity. We
should build our monuments to men Of the
past generation and leave our own honors to
our children.

did not shout over him and women did not
give his name to their children. But he sue
ceeded in winning the common sense of the
country, and when he came before the people
for reelection he defeated, overwhelmingly,
one of the most illustrious and widely known
and highly respected citizens Of America. This
convinced us that, great as the republican party
was and had been, the President was greater.
He has confirmed this in his party discipline. He
dismissed the illustrious Sumner like
mutineer and sent Schurz and Trumbull and
Greeley and Fenton and Banks to keep him
company. And yet the time was, and not
very long ago, when the secession or political
outlawry of these men would have been re-
garded as the death Of republicanism. But
the party stood by and saw the bauishment
Of its favorites as patiently as the Roman
rabble viewed the banishment of Coriolanus.
With this tremendous power coming fSom his
own personality as q successful general and
the confidence be had inspired in his posses
sion of the qualities Of honesty and common
sense, with party under military drill obey
ing his orders and the vast army Of civil
servants ready to execute his will. nothing
seemed easier than for the President to 40
shape the policy Of the republican party as to
dictate one Of two results-the continuance
of the party in power or his own candidacy
for third term.
But the time has come for him to see IL
be really possesses this power. Without any

when she chided him for not coming OF
tener. But there was something in hi
manner that troubled Alice. some
thine-what, she could not tell-seemed tt
stretch itself between them. He was OF
ten thoughtful and preoccupied. He seem
ed i'll at ease in her company. He spoke
little of the future, and not at all of the
home about which they had talked sc
much.
By and by rumor of the cause of this
change in her lover came to her. He met
a fairer face than her own, and the gossips
said that he went oftener to this new fan
cy of his than he did to see the woman who
wore his betrothal ring.
At first Alice could not believe it. She
could not. But by and by she found out
something that made her believe there was
some truth in the story, in spite OF her de-
termination not to believe it.
| When Graham Marsh came to her the
first time after her discovery, she put the
question to him fairly and squarely. Did
he care for some one else more than he did
for her?
| He could not evade direct answer, and
she found out that the man she had loved
so well was recreant to his promise.
'Ah, Graham = she said, with deep re-
proach in her face and tone, why couldn't
you have told ME this frankly and honestly
before? Do you suppose l would keep
you against your wishes p
L have not asked my freedom back, he
said, fretfully. L do not now
DO you imagine | would wear your ring
another day, knowing what do?' she
asked you wrong me. | give it back to
you now, and hope you may be happy she
added earnestly.
He took his ring, ashamed of himself
thoroughly. There was something noble
and lofty in Alice that commanded his adj
miration and respect. She had given him
no reproaches for his conduct only good
wishes for his future happiness.
He married the woman who had won
him away from Alice. Among his wedding
gifts was letter, and opening it, he drew
out three hundred dollars, and a scrap Of
paper on which was written.
Accept this from friend. You need a
home. Let this go towards buying you
one, and may it be a HOME to you indeed. ,
There was no name, but he knew well
enough whoit came from. If he had been
strong, proud man he would not accep-
ted it. But he was weak man in many
things, and he accepted this money, tell
ing himself that some time he would repay
it. He needed it so much, he argued in his
selfshness.
Alice is better off, I think, without
Graham Marsh than she would have been
with him. He was never worthy Of her.
She is infinitely above him in nobility OF
mind and soul. She would have chafed
over his narrow selfshness, and his WAIVER
ing, vacillating purposes. Some time the
happiness may come to her which she de-
serves the happiness Of home, and heart
worthy Of her love. l trust it will

Too MANY BEAUX.-lt is not such
wonderful joy to have q dozen beaux as
some girls fancy it to be. That individual
known as "a young fellow is not a very
solid piece of property at best. One of him
is bad enough, but half a dozen of him!
To make them all come different even
ings, to keep them all in suspense, to find
out who will kiss and tell and who won't !;
not to wear Mondays ring on Wednesday,
and Wednesdays bouquet on Sunday not
to promise to marry too many of Them the
same day-why, the Kuballu is nothing to
it. 1t wears a girl to fiddle-strings.
You who have but one beau, and were
amazed at finding him at your feet, be
thankful. Yours are the fowery paths of
peace. DON'T envy the belle over the way
who does not know how to keep Mr.. JOS
kin's call from tapping over that of Mr..
Timpson, and who feels afraid that she
put her love-letter to MI. Trotters into the
envelope addressed to MI. Jones, whose
| invitation to the opera she has accepted,
| A string of beads is more apt to slip
through your fingers and be lost, if the
string breaks, than one that you hold tight.
Be content With "your young man." The
moverb that there is safety in numbers"
fails when beaux are in question. Manga
girl has died an old maid because she had
J too many beaux.

A Wealthy Yeguaag MAN with a
NHani;a for Ss@@tigsg.

The New York EsWorld'' gives the fol-
lowing account of the detection, convic-
ton and sentence to the State prison Of a
wealthy youngman who couldn' t help steal
ing:
'sDominick Killoran, alias Horatio Ray
mond, is a young man of good appearance
and address and is well educated. He has
not yet attained his majority and is an Or
phan A large fortune, which was be-
queathed him, is in charge of his guar
dians, and is to become absolutely his when
he reaches the age of twenty-five. Mean
time he can receive the interest on cOndl-
ton of leading an honest life. But he ear
| ly showed an apparently uncomfortable
love for thieving, and has been many times
before courts; once for daring theft from
| the Park Bank. Wednesday he was tried
in the Court of Oyer and Terminer,
charged with having stolen a pocket-book
| from Miss Ada Dyas, Of the Fifth Avenue
| Theatre While she was crossing Eigh-
| tenth street, at Fourth avenue, the last
day of December, with her pocket-book in
the hand which held up her dress, some
body quickly snatched it and ran off. He
was pursued by a policeman, and was
found perspiring profusely under a stoop
and behind an ash barrel. On being
| brought back he was idetified by Miss
| Dyas She testified that she did not see
| his face, but as there was no other person
who could have stolen her pocl1et-bOOk,
and as she followed and watched him till
! he turned the corner, with the officer close
| at his heels, she had no hesitation Ill
| identifying him. One Of the gentlemen
| who had been summoned on the jury, but
knowledge of facts, testified to having seen
| a lad running, and to having tried to stop
| him, when the lad stuck his hand in his
pocket and said, eff you stopme III shoot
you,'' and lodged past him. From his gen.
eral appearance he believed the prisoner
| was the lad.
| The defense was ingenious, the counsel
lor attempting to make the former scrapes
of the young man serve him good pur-
pose. With an air Of great candor he de-
opOSGtl UllttU l6 llCu uCClA SpllSoo-
ed for larceny. Last April he was tried in
the Oyer and Terminer for an attempt to
rob the messenger of the Park bank, and
notwithstanding the evidence against him
was direct and positive, his plausibility de
ceived the jury and he was acquitted. Two
weeks later he was arraigned in the same
court for stealing an overcoat while at
tending meeting of Spirituallist. This
I time he induced the district attorney to &C
cept plea of guilty of petty larceny, and
got off with sentence of sixmonths IN the
penitentiary, from which institution he es-
capped within five weeks by swimming East
river to Hunters Point. He says now
that he was living in constant dread Of be-
ing re-arrested and returned to the prison
and when he heard the cry of 'sstop thief
he ran because he thought he had been re
cogniZed by some one, and not because hf
had snatched the pocket book an act which
he solemnly asseyerated was not his.
The jury was out a very brief time, ane
returned with verdict of guilty. The
court sentenced him to five years in State
prison

his congregation in the following manner:
s'The newspaper is more feared to-day IN
congressional halls, and the high places OF
corruption and villainy, than laws and
courts, the stings of conscience, ana the
thunders of divine wrath. God is great
way off, and the Judgment waits; but the
| ubiquitous reporter thrusts his sharp gaze
into all covert and all hidden schemes-an
unerring detective. The pestilent spy will
tell all he sees-tell it on the housetops,
print it for nation Of readers. Good

The Ohio Farmer says: s'Put in them
about a pint of unslacked, fresh lime; pour
thereon one or two gallons of water; bung
up and shake the barrel; while shaking
loosen the bung occasionally, to give vent.
When it has stood three to six hours, pour
out, and rinse with clean, cold water if
not perfectly sweet, repeat the dose. Usu-.
