The Springfield, Ull.) correspondent
Of the st. Louis Democrat informs the
public that all the state offices Of Iii.
nois, from the governor down, are adj.
vocates OF the doctrine Of imitation and
condemn the veto message of the pres
iden,. We have no doubt Governor
Bcveridge and the other officers of the
state represent majority of the mem.
bers of the republican party of Illinois (;
but, if our observation is not at fault,
they can look for little encouragement
in their more money movement from the
republicans Of Egypt. We are sure
there is not prominent republican in
Cairo, unless Mr.. Mum i. an exception,
who docs not very heartily dcprecate the
expansion theory and condemn Mr. Lo-
gan for precipltating an issue of this
kind into the politics of the country. 1t
may be true that what is called the rank
and file Of the party are now in sympa-
thy with Mr. Logan, bu, it is the opin.
ion ofthe sagacious Messrs. Linegar and
Pope that discussion will open the eyes
of the people and convince them that
the president acted wisely when he
vetoed the imitation hill.
What effect this division of republi.
can sentiment in Southern Illinois will
have upon ihc congressional canvass
next fall we cannot tell. Mr. Clements,
the probable republican candidate, voted
for the bill, advocated it with all the
arguments he could obtain from Mr..
Logan and is very indignant because
the president, with display of Jack
sonian firmness, killed the measure with
his potent 81 forbid" 1t is now al
most certainty that the initiation issue
will be logged into the canvass, andwe
have some curiosity 20 learn how Mcssrs.
Linegar, Pope, Fisher, McKeaig and
other anti-inha,on republicans, can
support him. His election will be a
condemnation Of the veto of the presi-
dent, which they all heartily endorse,
and their support of him will be a stul-
tifcation of themselves. But events
may, and probably will, furnish to them
an opportunity to get out of the diem
ma and an excuse for giving their sup
port to gentleman whose record in
congress they condemn and whose lack
of the elements that make member Of
the national Legislature something more
than voting machine subject to the
manipulationsof another person, they
cannot deny.

leaders of the republican party, and
the great leaders thought he could not
prosper without them. They could not
use him, and they therefore determined
to crush him but he crushed them,
and the dcprccator declared that Nor

Morton, Logan and Butler advanced
to the front with their iuhation hobby,
backed by the people afflicted by a
financial crisis and demanding more
money. They were sure Grant wosai
not dare to resist them in this great
popular movement but he did he We
toed the imitation bill, and already he
is being applauded for his Jacksonian
firmucss. For the time, the popular
current may run against him, but after
awhile he will be endorsed by his party
and the republican inhationists will
explain their position SO ingcniously
that i. will be difficult to ascertain that
there ever was any difference of opinion
on the currency question between them

GRANT.

After the election in the autumn of
1872 we made speech to large crowd
ofrcpublicans, who had congregated in
front of THE BULLETIN Office. That
speech gave great oifcusc to our demo
cratic friends, and was not offensive to
the republicans who listened to it. W,
said, celebrating the propositions, thai
the democrats bowed to the voice of the
people; that the coalition of the liberia
republicans and democrats, being as il
was at that time an Office. seeking organ
ization, had proven disastrous failure:
that it had politically killed the great
republicans who led in the movement,
and would be the death of the demo.
cratic party,if the republicans, compre-
hending the situation, would act wisely;
that Grant was one of the great men of
the day, had proven himself great SOL
der, aud great politician and might
prove himself a great statesman.
We spoke with deliberation. We
meant what VIC said, and we have seen
no reason to regret sentiment we ut
tered on that occasion.
The great liberals are all political
cor9scs;the strength the democracy has

republicans and not because it was the
advocate OF any great distinguishing

A Curious Lake.

One of our New England ex-
changes relates the following
"A body Of water, said to cover an
area OF two acres Or more, has just
been discovered on the top Of one of
the mountains in Clatenbury. Some
of the oldest inhabitants say that
many years ago it was known to be
there and was called the "Lost Pond"
and that one day Stephen Pratt, then
Of Bennington, VT, and two other
gentlemen, were roaming about in
the seemingly interminable forests,
trapping. Happening to have hooks
and lines I'm their pockets, they de-
tormined to see if there wasn't some
trout i'm the small brook which they
came across. After getting every
thing i'm readiness they threw their
hooks into the little brook, and to
their amazement, as they afterward
expressed it themselve, cit was fill ed
wife troutW They flashed along up
the stream a few rods, and to their
utter astonishment, came to the pond
above mentioned. There they said
the trout "toOk hold too fast for
sport !" They caught more than
they could bring home through the
woods, and were consequently obliged
to leave some, but with determin-
alton that they would visit the pond
the next day. After long march
they finally reached the road to town,
where they had left their team but
greatly fatigued, they travelled all
the next day, but could not find the
pond and it has not been discovered
until nOW."

4 Clerical Joke.

anecdote is told of parson Shute,
the first minister settled at South
bingham, which for ready wit ought
not to pass unrecOrded. 1t appears
that the reverend gentleman was
very fond of pudding, so at q ministe-
rial meeting one day, the hostess, in
order to crafty the taste of her guest,
had pudding tor dinner. Unfortu-
nately ii came very near the fire
while 1t was cooking, so that when
it was served IL was extremely hot.
The parsOn, without allowing It time
to cool, placed piece at once in his
mouth, and then followed the usual
cOntOrtions incident to such an occa-
sion, but all to no purpose. The pud-
ding would not go, so the parson, who
was a polite gentleman, quietly slip
ped ii out of his mouth and into his
coat pocket, all Ofwhich was observed
by his brother ministers, who, for the
purpose Of a joke said,-
$50 you are putting the pudding
In your pocket, are you ?"
"Oh, yes" said the parson all un-
moved, 81 put little piece in there
merely to light my pipe with after
dinner"
The explanation, It Is needless tn
add, was sufficient.

Coffee.

There Is really more mental force in
cup of coffee then the uninitiated
dream. 1 have always had grounds
for respecting the scientist who decid-
ed, after years of testing its efficacy,
that coffee prevented the waste OF
muscular tissue. Though / do think
that Schiller, with all his philosophy,
made mistake in diluting it with
old cognac. A united aroma of Java
and Maracaibo is sufficient i'm itself, to
say nothing of the fumes of luscious
Mocha. The French manner of dis
tilling coffee isa fine art, understood
I'm its perfection only by a native or a
Swiss expert who has served an APP
premiership In Partisan cafes. Those
who resort to boiling process should
never use anything but an carthen
vessel or a porcelain-lined cofIee-pot.
It should be carefully cleared and
kept closely covered to preserve the
fragrance, which otherwise goes to
waste with the steam. The rank ex-
preston which coffee oftentimes In
dulges comes from the tin In which
1t Is boiled and left standing. If pos
sible, the cups I'm which it Is served
should be heated, to prevent stagna-
tion Of the delicate effervescence.

Healthy Food.

The female lecturer, DR.. Everett,
gives the fOllowingadvice about food /:
AS One-half OF nervous matter is
phosphorus, food must tend to pro-
duce phosphorus. l must ease my
mind on the question Of teeth.
Children under sixteen years of age
should be reared largely on brown
bread and milk; then they will
possess pearly teeth, brilliant eyes,
healthy complications. Condiments
are denominations. Mustard, vinegar
and catsup should be discarded and
salt INDUCED in sparingly. Sugar
and mOlasSes come under the head of
condiments. Although some chemists
and Psychologists advocate sugar as
an article of food, yet, because the
body makes sugar from the starchy
food eaten, the pure article is un-
necessary. Neuralgia is an indica-
ton of deteriorated blood, and should
be cured by eating brown bread, Oat-
meal pOrridge-anything containing
much bran.
No varietyO of wine should be drank.
Ever since the world was created
women have been mems tempters,
and should avoid encouraging them
in the use of liquor. Women who in
any sense of the word indulge in
alcoholic stimulants seem to lack re-
flnement and true wOmanliness. Per-
haps because of my Quaker education
L hold this idea. In the good time
coming, when women shall live
sensibly, dress sensibly, eat sensibly,
morally speaking, they will have
more influence over their husbands.
Perhaps, could we look into the re-
mote causes of the late panic, the
fault would be found to lie with those
women who did not feed their hus-
bands sensibly. For speculation, for
thought, for business, men need the
proper kind of food. Let women
feel their husbands on oatmeal,
porridge and apples. Food should
he chosen with reference to the season.
In the spring vegetables and i'm the
summer fruits should take the place
of heartier food. Men do not wear
well in New York they are at their
prime at thirty-eight, instead of fifty,
because their eating is not properly
regulated. If dinner must be served
mt six, seven, or eight o'clock, let it
he light and the heavy meal eaten In
the morning. L am not Il vegetarian.
Vegetarians are often from necessity
gormandizers, because they must eat
so much in order to obtain sufficient
amount Of nutriment. / believe in
an occasional piece of good roast beef.
Fish is an excellent article of food,
but oatmeal is the food par excellent.
The Scotch possessing the largest
brains, the highest degree of intel
lectuality, and fine physique-are a
nation of oatmeal eaters.

A Victim or CIrcumstantiaI Evidence.

The other day Lawyer Johnson
went out of town for the afternoon and
left the office I'm charge of the boy
AS soon as he got fairly out of sight
the boy hailed ScOville's boy, and
bringing him into the Office the two
sat down to game of Sc yen-up. They
were playing with great spirit, con.
tinually accusing one another OF
cheating, and getting up and throw.
ing books at each others head, and
sitting down again to resume the
game, and generally enjoying them.
selves as much as If they had both
been orphans and there were no ap.
ple-tree switches in the country. AZ
ter this had gone on for an hour OF
two, and Lawyer JOhnson's boy had
yearly "broken" ScOville's boy by
winning five of his seven cents, the
Rev. Mr.. Smiley happened i'm to ask
Mr.. johnson about when he ought to
have donation party. The two boys
were caught and there was no use in
lying about it, although Lawyer John
sons boy showed the effects of his le-
gal education by at once beginning to
swear that he could prove an dliJi
when the proper time should come.
Good Mr.. Smiley thought he would
just talk kindly to the boys, and so he
sat down with them at the table, and
picking up the cards began to ask
them If they had any mothers, and il
so what those mothers would say to
see their sons gambling, and whether
they were prepared to die with their
hands full of aces and jacks, and how
they would explain this matter i'm q
future world. Just then old Biggs
came in, and said, "Hello! playing
the boys little euchre, are you? /
don't mind If l take hand myself"
Mr.. Smiley replied, very sternly, that
he didn't Know the game to which he
alluded. "Don't know it, hey ?" said
old Biggs, "well, what was you play
ing, boys Z" "Seven-up," answered
Lawyer Johnson's boy, with great
prOmptness. "Well, WE'LL" continu-
eel old Biggs, "I'm sorry to hear it.
Seven-up ain'tno game for minister,
Mr.. Smiley. Euchre, now, is a nice,
genteel game; but L never thought
you'd play seven-up, and for money,
too. If you're gOin' to play for
money, pOker's your best hold. Pll
play you myself now for half an hour
ten cents ante and dollar bets.
Here's my pile, you see''-and that
graceless old reprObate pulled out his
pOcket-bOOk and drew up another
chair to the table. Mr.. Smiley sat
speechless, holding the cards i'm his
hand, when in came Scoville and col.
Jared his boy. AS he dragged him
away to execution, he remarked to
Mr.. Smiley: $50 Pm a backslider,
am /? All right. After Ive done
my duty as a parent l'll call on your
deacOns to ask them what they think
of a minister who teaches boys to
play cards. Oh, yes! Pm a back
slider, i am TO be sure. OF course /
am" Uttering this and other writh-
ing sarcasms he withdrew, and the
question which now agitates the vii
lage is whether old Biggs did lose fif-
ty dollars on flush to Mr.. Smiley,
who held full or whether Mr.. Smi-
ley's four jacks were the hand that
really broke old Biggs. Daily
Graphic.
