These Democratic papers as
tonish us sometimes-once and q
while they tell the truth. After
traducing President Grant as much
as they could, some Of them are
now giving him credit for being an
excellent business man, a. we'll as q
great general and . good President.
General Grants investments have
all been made with great wisdom,
with the sole exception of the small
venture in the Seneca Stone Com
pany,' and even that concern 10
looking mp of late. His investments
at Washington, ct Long Branch,
and especially near st. Louis, have
turned out well. St Louis people
say that his farm in that vicinity
will alone make him . large fortune,
so rapid is its increase in value.

An Iowa editor, recently, to keep
up with the styles, ran away with an.
other mans wife. He did not get off
50 easily, however. as he thought he
would. The man followed him, and
overlook the truant pair. The editor
got behind the woman. and prepared
to sell his life ~ dearly as possible.
He was uncertain a. to whether the
outraged husband would shoot him,
or murder him Hith a carving knife.
He stood there, like the boy upon the
burning deck, and calmly waited for
the result. The outraged husband
came up within about two feet of the
editor, and said, "Cuss your impu-
dence. l want you to stop my paper.
That was all. The editor recovered
himself. and said he would have the
matter attended to at once. During
the trying scenes the woman stuck to
the editor like sand burr to girls
stocking. Some people get mad and
stop their paper for simply nothing
it beats all.-Warsaw New Yorker.

Hon. VIM. Baxter spoke to large
audience at Sharpsville yesterday If.
ternoon, and again addressed the citi-
xens of this place last night. Quite .
delegation Of people from Sharpsville
wishing to hear him, came down on a
hand-car. no other conveyance being

grand triumph for the temperance
people. The Committee appointed at
the meeting on Wednesday, reported
to the meeting of last night, series
of resolutions, which we're adopted,
declaring the traffic in liquors to be
the greatest source of pauperism and
crime; plcdging the assistance Of those
participating in the meeting to remove
the traffic from Upton; indorsing the
Baxter law, as q measure designed to
lessen the evils resulting from the
sale and use Of liquors; plcdging
themselves to see that In future only
Temperance men are chosen to Office,
so that the enforcement Of the liquor
law may be secured; and providing for
the appointment Of committee to
carry ont the spirit Of the resolutions.
As one result Of the meetings, more
than dozen men have erased their
names from petition for license now
pending, thus ensuriDg its defeat.

and upon an investigation Of the matter by my
attorney, in whom I had great confidence, and
they had confidence in him also, his opinion
was the same as mine.
Q. You say that you made two classes oil
visits to Colonel Moore-one class friendly and
the other business visits. VIII you state what
passed between you and Colonel Moore In the
business visits you made2 A. think that Col
onel Moore became satisfied that was here tc
get q contract. tn 70 .sl
@. You say you called upon him to talk bust
ness. Now, what was the nature of that bust
nessi A. never called upon him on purpose
to do that.
Q. But you did talk businessi A. Yes, SIR
Q. What did you say, and what did he say in
regard to It! A. Il Is impossible for me to state
definitely or accurately what passed between
US. ~
Q. Give us the substance of it. A. Oh, Twas
in and out of the store at different times, and
after becoming pretty well acquainted with Col
Moore, stated that was there TO get q con-
tract, or he knew Twas, and asked him to
speak good word for me II Ire could.
Q. That, perhaps, was in the FIRST business
conversation. After you had given him that
information, what passed between you'll A.
have not charged my mind with It. -
Q. You see, Mr.. Ghittenden, very evidently,
when you stated this to Colonel Moore, when
you explained to him that you had contract,
and interesting him for you, that IN the next
conversation you would certainly ask what he
had done In the meantimei A. It does not fol-
low as a matter of course that would be the
NATURAL inquiry, Resaq.e Vas no. going syste-
matically with Colonel Moore in any move
ment Of that kind. 1t was more of friendly
call than anything else. l12g ss1 Ia ~
Q. lam excluding your friendly CONVERSE
tons that you Lad. Now, the business CONVEX
satien-in your first business conversation you
explained 70 him you were hero for the purposc
OF getting contract. Now In the next, what
occurred between youl A. j could hardly tell
you; but l cannot tell you how many times
saw Colonel Moore, and how many. times II
was q business interview; did not 90 there
very frequently. - --.
Q. For that reason there is less difficulty in
your remembering what passed between you
Now, in the second business conversation what
did he sayi Did be say what were your pros
poets of getting your contract A. Nothing oi
that kind, think Simply that he would be
glad to do for me in fr!cnl!y way any; hing
that he could

until was informed to the contrary-up to the
time was in Philadelphia.
Q. You did not receive any demand from
them for the s10,000i A. Kirkland informed
me the property had been sold to,the Soldiers
Home, and there would be no trouble about
the s100 900. -l
Q. How came he to tell you about that in
Chicago; what led him to tell you'll A. telc-
graphed to Washington, when Colonel Kirkland
was here, to hsve Corcoran wait. think so,
bit he did not get the telegram, and the prop
erty was sold to the Soldiers Home.
Q. Then how did the conversation come up
how came he to tell you that the $4,000 was
provided fort A. OF course, felt an interest
in still having TIarewood, II could. This was
after had recovered from my illness.
Q. You didn't feel an interest in getting rid
of the liability OF the $4,000 forfeited, that
this man put up for you. It seems to mel
do not know much about business-but II
seems to me, II should authorize my agent
to buy piece Of property, to make o contract
for me, and he should make contract, by the
terms Of which the first payment should be
forfeited If the second was not made-the pay
ment of 900; and had also informed me
that he had paid the SIC, 900, put up that for
felt himself, and when failed to come UP with
the second payment, should have expected q
demand from my agent for the 10000. A.
Suppose he had stated that to you that he
had sold the property-that the property had
been sold for the Soldiers Home, and the
SO, 900 carried 10 you'll
Q. If they made report to you to that effect,
why 1t would be all right A. That is the re-
port Colonel Kirkland made to me. 1t was his
money he advanced, and, Of course, he was
looking out for it.
0. Kirkland said the property had been sold
to the Soldiers Home, and he had received his
$40, 606 bacH A. l do not say he had received
the $4,000 back, but do say 1t was arranged
for in satisfactory way 70 HMM some way
that II was satisfactory to him. How'll was
arranged do not know.
q. Did he say ne had got his money! A.
No, sir; he didn't say that. II was arranged
IL some way that It would be satisfactory
When owe man $4,000, the ouly way
succeed in arranging it Is 10 pay 1t. 'i 'ii1-s
q. And you owed your agent that ten thou
sand dollars. He said it was arranged-tEe
ten thousand dollars had been arrdnged--an3
did not tell you how it was arranged, aud did
not tell you how-whether he got the money
or noR- a. When Kirkland came to Chicago
he showed me a document exrcu'e ed between
himself and Mr.. Brown, In which they were To
get one-half of this LAKEWOOD estate, which
which was my first knowledge of that fact.
