We CoNcUR.-It is not often that we find any ut
terances in the editorial columns Of the Chronicle
which have the true ring; but few which we can
heartily approve. In its opinions about the Tilton-
Beecher case, however, we fully concur. That
Journal truly says The whole business, from the
beginning to the ending, is unadulrerated Dastiness.
growing out of morbid and unsound moral and men,
tai organizations. There is not a single honest,
healthy-minded man or woman in the whole bad,
weak wicked lot. The scandal printed in ten thou
sand journals, TO reach hundreds Of thousands of
fresides, TO be read by a million boys and girls, has
done more to iojure and corrupt the morals of this
nation than ten thousand Beechers could undo in
ten thousand years True religion has received a
blow from this most gifted, fashionable and sensation
preacher, from which it will not easily recover.
If Plymouth Church had been burned ten years
ago and lis talented preacher had taken to the stage,
it would have been better for both religion and the
drama. Religion would have been spared an i'm
mense scandal and the stage would have had to bear
the burden Of only one more actor of questionable
morals. Beecher's dramatic powers would, to the
theatre-going public, have, in a measure, excused
his personal character.-S F. Examiner.

2-Sophe Cracraft, niece of Lady Franklin, in a
letter published here regarding the renewal by Lady
Franklin of the reward of two thousand pounds for
the recovery of her husbands expedition, says "In
consideration of the difficulty of providing for the
equipment of such an undertaking., my aunt has
added to the reward of two thousand pounds on re-
covering possession Of the documents in question,
the offer of some additional compensation for the
outlay. The adjudication of the expenses, as well as
OF the reward itself, to be made by three persons
approved by both parties, of whom Two shall be Off
GERS Of the navy who have had experience in Arctic
service. and who must, therefore, be competent for
the duty kindly undertaken by them. 1t is right
that l should add that the payment of the sums to
be claimed is made binding upon my aunt's execu-
tors in the contingency Of her death during the pro-
gress of the work.

His Excellency HESRT A. PIERCE.
United States Minister Resident.
sR-It is with very great pleasure that 1 have now
the honor to address Your Excellency, to convey to
you the sincere thanks Of His Majesty, as well as of
this Government for your valuable company, counsel
and assistance vouchsafed to him during his visit to
the United States. AS Your Excellency is aware the
visit Of His Majesty has not been with the object of
recreation solely, but the considerable risk Of leaving
his tropical Islands and travelling across the North
American Continent in the depth Of Winter was en-
countered with q view 10 cultivate friendly relations
with q great and powerful people, our nearest neigh
bors, and which might rebound to the benefit of his
Kingdom and people. His Majesty is aware that
similar motives. and the good of Hawaii, were up
permost in your mind in making the exertions and
sacrifices you have in accompanying him, and His
Majesty, his Government and people, will always feel
indebted to you for having made them.
Sincerely trusting that the efforts of His Majesty,
so warmly and ably seconded by you, may bear good
fruit,
have the honor to be with the highest respect
and consideration, Sir,
Your most Obedient Servant, W. L. GREEN.

SIR have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
of Your Excellency's note of the 18th instant, in
which you convey to me His Majesty's thanks, and
those of his Government, for having accompanied,
and given my counsel and assistance to him on the
occasion of his visit to the United States.
1t is with lively gratitude and satisfaction, that
receive these manifestations of His Majesty's, and
the Governments kindly estimation of my services;
which 1 confess are hardly deserving of so high and
honorable a mention as THAT now offered to me.
am cognizant of the fact that His Majesty's jour
ney to the United States was undertaken at consider
able risk to himself. owing to the severity Of the win
ter climate of the Continent; and that he was
impelled SO to do by a high and patriotic desire to
benefit his people. by cultivating more friendly rela-
tions with his nearest ~neighbors and best friends.
I am gratifed to think. that the near future may
give him full reward for the undertaking.
I have the honor to be with high respect, and most
distinguished consideration,

The New York Herald Is waging q kind OF per
sonal war against President Grant Its latest mani
festo is a request 20 the President 20 step down and
out. Our Washington dispatches give no indication
Of an intention on the part OF the President TO fol-
low the Herdld's advice. That journal bases Its
demand on a careful analysis OF Vice President
Wilson's late letter 10 the Springfield Republican
nom which II draws the conclusion that Mr.. Wilson
Is a sounder Republican and u safer man than Mr..
Grant. All this may be. General Grant was not
elected President because he was ., Rrpublican,
bat because he was Gen. Grant. Since bis election
TO the Presidency be has certainly been true 10 the
party he adopted, IL be IN not o. Republican by
conviction. he IL certainly n Republican In policy.
Up to this date be has carried the party 10 the sup
port OF the leading measures OF ha Administration
even in his Louisiana policy. Under these circum-
stances the Herald seems a little wild In Its call on
the President to resign, or on Congress 10 force
him 10 resign. The Herald Processes 10 fear that
the President does not Intend 10 retire In 1877 II he
can possibly help Il. This apprehension of the
Herald must be accepted as one. OF Its numerous
sensationalisms There Is. or course, In the present
complicated condition of affairs 10 the South, q
chance tor a contest over the returns OF the next
Presidential election ; but The President IN too wise
to oppose any clear expression OF the will OF the
people. The Herald gives the President credit for
intellectual capacity, but lntfmates that ambition Ia
so predominant a. TO impair hs judgment In our
opinion, one Of the least probable events OF the
future is the resignation Of President Grant before
his term expires, or an attempt on bis part &C. retain
his position after his term expires.

from six TO eight nests Of young each year for four
years together, and from 12 to % at q litter; and

there are more females than males, at an average Of

cats and dogs, the public would be terrified, but as
they hide and work in the dark, men seldom see or

publican started what in other countries is called 8
" rat bait in this city, whereby thousands Of rats
were caught and destroyed every week. bat some
body got the idea that it was " inhuman." and the
wholesome destruction Of The pests was put 9 stop to.
