PRESIDENT GRANT.
Some Of our Neighbors Call Upon
Him.

On Tuesday last. Dr.. John L Rhca,
Colonel ". b. Rollysou and Jacob s.
Hyer. Esq, of Braxton, being il
Washington, called upon His Excel,
lcncy, the President Of the United
States Contrary to their expectations
they found General Grant aIfable and
courteous in every respect. Indeed, SC
many kind attentions did he bestow
upon bis West Virginia visitors. that
they were more than pleased with him
Instead Of finding man wrapped up
in the dignity Of high position, they
met gentleman as easily approached
as any citizen in the laud.
The President, in referring to West
Virginia, said that our abundant natu.
raj resources would make this one Of
the greatest States 10 the Union
Speaking Of his visit 10 the kauawha
Valley last year, he said that he had
never before seen such wonderful
wealth Of minerals and timber as mel
his eyes here. lie alsa referred in
very complimentary terms to our pco-
pie. uud to The new State.
Colonel Rollyson. who was the
spokesman Of the party, then called the
attention Of the President to the re.
marks Of certain newspapers in relation
to his recent speech at Des Mcincs,
Iowa, in relation TO free schools. wherein
the President took strong ind decided
grounds against any division Of the
school fund. lie replied that be knew
we'll the Catholic Church, as religious
denomination, would make bitter war
upon him; but that iuasmuch as the
fight had to come, sooner or later,as to
the division Of the school fund. be was
10 favor of taking the bull by the
horps, and ending the matter ut once
aud forever. He stated thu. he would
bitterly oppose any division Of tn.
school fund; and was well satisfied
with the system Of free schools as they
now exist in the various States in which
they have been established. While
the Catholic denomination was men
toned, the President wished his re.
marks to apply to any denomination
who desired 10 interfere with the free
schools; aud turning to Dr.. Rhea. be
said doctor, ifthe Methodis,s oftbc
country were to strike out on that line.
should want my speech to apply to
them equally US much as to any oih,r
denomination"
DR.. Rbea thinks (aud he is pretty
good judge Of human pature) tina, the
people of the country differing in sen.
timeut with General Gruu,, have never
given him due credit for the ability he
POSSESSES. The Doctor regards the
President as an Andrew Jackson in
lirmucss aud resolution while at the
same time he possesses the happy quail
tiles Of courtesy aud moderation. lie
appears to be about As years of age
With slight sprinkling Of grey in bis
hair aud beard. He does not appear
iu any respect, says the Doctor, to be
dissipated man. He is constant
smoker; but has none Of tho ludica.

Altogether. our neighbors arc vel
pleased with General Grant; aud ex

TIE BONANZA MINES.


In his annual report to the Secretary
Of the Treasury DIR. Linderman, Direc-
tor OF the Mint, embo9ios the report of
Professor Robert E. Rogers, who ex-
amined the bonanzas of the CONSOLE
dated Virginia and California mines last
summer. In that report Professor
Rogers has the folio wing. relative to the
ore in sight in the 1,500-foot level of
these mines:
with the data in our possession and
the maps before Us may venture upon
the following calculations. and estimate
the total ultimate product of the gold
and silver OF the ore-body of these two
mines"
ION an inspection of the official sur
vey exhibiting the galleries and cross
cuts 1t would seem fair to conclude
that with proper allowances the ore
body equals the amount which, taken
At the actual assays, would give rs the
ultimate yield of the two mines $500,
OOO, 100; but 10 guard against chance
OF overes,imating, | take the assay at
one half that ascertained, which would
place the production at not less than
$3.50, 900, 000"

In that mapdamus case, Sheriff Nash

Nash an injustice in this matter, as we
believe. he unintentionally included
those charges which the county is not

a bill headed the State VS.. Watkins.
and that too at a'time when the uues-

wolves upon the Sheriff to explain this

him the use of our columns. 10 the
event of his refusal to do SO, we shall
publish the bill and let the public see
how the county paid fees in civil suit

An Insane Woman browns Herself and

The Chicago Eqter-Ocean publishes thc
following letter from Eau Claire, Wis,
dated Aug. 8:
Friday morning last the wife of AUS
TIN Drake, living one mile from this
city, committed suicide and also mur-
dcred her two children under the fol-
lowing circumstances: Wednesday
night she bathed her feet. leaving the
pail of water used for that purpose sit
ting by the side of the bed. She then
lay down and commenced to nurse her
baby, four months old. While nursing
she fell asleep, and in the morning
awoke only to find her baby drowned.
he having fallen into the pail of water.
This affected her to such a degree that
she determined to take her own life and
the life OF her remaining three children.
The Friday following she enticed two
of her children, one aged three and the
other five, to 90 with her, and urged
tn" third, aged about four, to 90 and
look for flowers. Two finally consent
ed, and they went directly to Lows
Creek, and stood upon the bank. She
told them to look at the waterfand see
how pretty it was. From this il is sup
posed she pushed both in, and then
plunged in herself. The one that was
three wears of age succeeded in climb
ing out and making his way to the
house, SO thoroughly saturated with
water and overcome with fatigue that
he soon after tainted, and it was with
difficulty that he was brought to.
Search was Immediately commenced for
Mrs. Drake, and she was found with
her head and shoulders in the water,
feet upon the bank, and in her arms
was claSprd her boy, both dead. Mrs.
was widely known and well cdu-
having been Il school teacher for

F0oIiGq With a Whiriwind.

4 farmer who lives about five miles
northwest of ~Faribault, by the name of
Samuel Johnson, was going along the
road Saturday last, when suddenly Il
little whirlwind, which described a cir
Gle apparently not more than three feet
in diameter, appeared in the road in
front of him. 1t took up the dust pref
" lively and buzzed like a swarm of
bees, but Mr.. Johnson kept on his way
directly towards it, thinking it had no
great amount of power. In fact, he
did not think it worth his while to step
one side to let it whirl past, but kept
straight on and met it square in the
road. When they came together the
whirlwind seemed to drop every thing
else and took hold of Mr.. johnson, and
in less time than it takes to tell it, Mr.
johnson had lost his hat and his shirt
and was pitched about twenty feet into
a gutter, feeling as though be had been
shocked by a battery. 1t was rough
experience, and Mr.. Johnson will never
fool with a whirlwind again .-FGrsdouh

tors, ex-teachers, ex-lawyers, ex-poli-
~ticians, and in some instances ex-iour-
n~alists, may be found scraping up q liv-
ing in this way, which is, without
doubt, one of the poorest ways i'll the

editorial rooms, generally doing the
drudge work, there are likewise many
men of considerable talent, whose lives
have been a failure and who now have
no hope or ambition beyond livingfrom

of men may be found in all other large
cities, but New York certainly has the
greatest number of them, even in pro-
portion to its large population.-N. y
