A Washington letter says Mrs. Fred Grant
nee Honore, was very great fayorits in the
Convent of the Visitation, at Georgetown,
where sho was educated She received very
handsome book as bridal present from the di-
rectress Of that institution, which was accompa-
MED by letter full OF affectionate good Wishes.
We are told she speaks the French language
very tuently, and that she took the majority Of
the prizes in English when she graduated at the
convent.
She has rich contralto voice. which has been
very highly cultivated, and is fine performer
on the harp. 1t would seem as il Colonel Fred
Grant had followed the example OF his young
wife in taking "przes," and had secured one
whose attractions do not consist alone in her
rich brunette complexion, brilliant black eyes
and beautifully-erooping lashes Desirable as
all this il and pleasant 70 look upon, how much
more valuable are the beauties of the mind, last
ing when beauty OF countenance may pass
away and secured and brought ont by the dis-
ciplne Of good education.
We understand that the Presidents second
son, Ulysses S Grant, Jr., a graduate OF Har.
ward College, is studying at the Columbia Law
School in New York. He is also expected tC
visit his parents this winter ; and we think the
| family circle, 30 scattered and broken during the
summer, will again DO united and complete.

Mr.. Woodruff, of Grand Rapids, Mich, has
published pamphletin which he says infoma-
ton has been communicated to him in vision,
Of great physical changes to take place on the
earth 10 years hence. He declares that during
twenty-one days, commencing Jan. 26, 1889, a
new planet will be formed from belt OF matter
thrown off from the sun, and new moon from
belt of matter now surrounding the earth, and
that our present moon will then be pushed fur
Their OFF. That the earth's atmosphere will be
purified by the change, and that sickness from
natural causes will thenceforth be unknown. The
chances are that all of us who can manage tc
prolong our existence until 1889, will be in po-
sition to live forever.

aw- DYSPEPSIA I DYSPEPSIA DYSPEPSIA
Dyspepsia Is the most perplexlng OF all human
ailments. Its symptoms are almost infinite In then
variety, and the forlom and despondent victims OF
the disease often fancy themselves the prey in turn
OF every known malay. This Is due, in part TO the
close sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the BRAIN and In part also to the fact that any
disturbance OF the digestive function necessa ny

MORE POLITICAL ERRORS

And now the Advertiser initiates tile Gazette's
political errors. We find it saying that
1.-THE COMMERCIAL mis-stated the facts as to
Pennsylvania, by saying the majority is only a
few hnndred'-when in fact it is many thou
sands"
Now the precise Democratic majority, in Penn
sylvania, is 81 votes and the plurality Of the
Democratic candidate over the Republican is
4679-that ia forty-six hundred. We leave it to
the reader to decide whether that number, in a
total'of over h If a million votes, is more fairly
described as "a few hundred" or as 'mapy
thousands"
Again says the Advertiser =
"The COMMERCIAL further errs in saying that
the Republicans carried Massachusetts-itls true
the Legislature was carried in that state by the
Republicans the popular vote, by which
Presidential electors are chosen, was given Il
Mr.. CASTOR for Governor"
This il small beer. True; Mr.. CASTOR did ge
in, but he was the only one out Of six candidates
one the Democratic State ticket, who did 30. Thu
other five were all defeated, as usual, and "th'
popular vote is indicated, not by a single acct
dental issue, but by the general result.

letter from our friend Bayard Taylor. Not

Anderson, IND, Nov. ID.
Esteemed Friend l enclose a copy of a letter

welcome at Mt. Cuba. / send it especially that
you, and the other good and generous friends who

BAYARD TAYLOR.
The still more private character Of Friend
Whittier's letter to Mr.. Taylor seems to forbid
its publication as a whole, but the passages re-
ferred to by the latter, in which he mentions the
Welcome" and the poem of Liars, may not
be appropriately presented. He says:
~ have just been reading with moist eyes
and glad heart the account of the beautiful
ovation at Cuba Hill from thy old friends and
neighbors. How charming it all was speeches,
songs, poems, all in good taste. 1t could have
been done, l think, nowhere in the whole
country, save in that charming locality. 1t ought
to make thee happy for the rest of thy life
Friend Whittier. further says " l wanted tC

it has seemed to me unwise for great represent

some alleged abuses of administration, to desert
its party organization and turn its guns on its
