A CURT REpLY.-The President Is not
however, at present disposed to break the
silence he has hitherto preserved. His
friends may talk q little more boldly, but nc
holds his own utterauces in reserve, so Tar
as the outside world is concerned. A day or
two ago an adventurous Bohemian, melted
rby the information contained in former
Long Branch letter to hope that the time
had come when the Presidential lips might
unclose, worked his way to the Presidential
presence, and boldly plunged into the sub
ject. The following conversation tooh
place
Bohemian President Grant, wish e
ask you If you are candidate for Third
term!
The President Colby: have nothing to
say on the subject.
Bohemian: But, President Grant, may
ask whether your friends intend TO place
your name before the next Republican con.
yentiOD?
The President 0reezng): I have nothing
to say on the subject.
Bohemian: Well, is there any truth, Mr.
President, in the rumored alliance?
The President (rozen): have nothing to
say on the subject.
Bohemian: If that is the case, Mr.. Presi.
dent, will wish you good morning.
The President IAN iceberg l have nothing
to say on the subject.
So the Bohemian left, fully impressed with
the fact that President Grant is a hard man
to intervieH.-Ne,o York Herald.

The Lynchburg Republican of Saturday
has an article of much length in defence Of
the little General" 1t argues that if the
Dispatch is opposed to MAnoNE's policy it
ought to be opposed to the policy of GAR
RErT, ROBINSON, BARBoUs, dc. Well, sapient
Republican, If GAERtTT, RoBlSsoN. BAR
BoUR, or any other railroad president, were
to GAS MALONE does-were 10 refuse to
allow to run over his road the OILY Expires
Company in the State that could bring any
business to Richmond-we should put him
down in the category with little BILLY. The
writer for the Republican does not under
stand our position at all. AL his arguments
are wasted. We feel no hostility towards
Norfolk or Lynchburg, OF even Baltimore
We are for fair dealing. Give Richmond an
equal chance with Baltimore, and let her
abide the result. We denonunce MALONE
because he forces trade away from Rich
mopd. He con't let the merchants along
his line deal in Richmond If he can prevent
them from SO doing by refusing to them ex
press facilities with this city.

YATES PIpEs.--A device TO prevent
freezing water from bursting water pipe;
has been invented in England. 1t is well
known that when water freezes it expands,
and that the force exerted is 80 enormous
that no pipe can resist it. This invention Is
intended to give the water q chance to ex.
pand without bursting the pipe. Itaitempts
this by securing In the inside of the metal
pipe space equal in the difference of volume
between water and ic., SO that when the
water freezes it occupies the space reserved
for II instead OF exertiog its force on the pipe
and bursting 1t. This is practically carried
ont by passing through the winter pipe a
small India rubber tube, specially made for
the purpose, and Of sucha diameter that the
space inside it Is o little more than equal TO
the Increase In volume Of the ice. The India
rubber fuhe Ii always kept full OF air, so
that when the wafer zes it finds The ne.
cessary space for expansion, for by com-
pressing the mir tube Ii displaees the air
and takes its place. W hen the ies nelts the |
tube again expands, becomes filed with air,
and is ready for otber frost, and SO GU for
any number OF tiMes without requiring at
fel.ion. astf,ne1e SIN.

loved pastor.
LETTER FROM MRS. BEEcHER.

characteristic letter from Mrs. Henry Ward

The Late w. H. nIcCaw.

A resolution was adopted ut the con-
yention of taxpayers. to raise subscrip
tion for the benefit of the family of the
deceased. Mr.. McCaw was a fearless,
and noble champion of the peoples cause
and that could neither be bought nor in
timidatcd; He gave his powers for the
right, and met an untimely end, while
yet in the harness for truth. The pco-
pie owe his memory gratitude, and owe
his family substantial proof of it.
Livery man, woman and child should
proffer little, and let the crushed hearts
of his widow and orphans be gladencd
with that assistance, which is now re-
moved. Any contribution will be re.
ceived by Mr.. Jas. III. Fowls, Co, A. d.
Frederick, and Mr.. j. A. Hamilton, we
hope the readers OF the "T1Mls" especial
ly the ladies will take this in hand, and
send in their gatherings.
