Home Conversation.

Among home amusemeuts the best is the
good old habit of conversation, the talking
over events of the day, the bright and quick
play of wit and fancy, the story which brings
the laugh, and the speaking the good and kind
and true things, which all have in their
hearts. 1t is not so much by dwelling upon
what members of the family have in common,
as by bringing each to the other something
interesting and amusing, that home life is to
be made cheerful and joyous. Each one must
do his part to make conversation genial and
happy, We are too ready to converse with
newspapers and books, to seek some compan-
ion at the store, hotel, and club room, and
forget that home is anything more than place
to sleep and eat in. The revival OF converse
ton, the entertainment OF one another, as q
roomful of people will entertain themselves,
is one secret of a happy home. Wherever it
is wanting, disease has struck into the root;
there is want which is felt with increasing
force as time goes on. Conversation in many
cases is Just what prevents many people from
relapsins into utter sel6shness at their resides.
This conversation should not simply occupy
husband and wife, and other older members of
the family, but extend itself to the children.
Parents should be careful to talk with them, to
enter into their life, to share their trifes, to
assist in their studies, to meet them in the
thoughts and feeling of their childhood. 1t is
a great step in education, when around the
evening lamp are gathered the different mem
bers Of large family, sharing their occupa.
tions with one another, the older assisting the
younger, each one contributing TO the enter
tainment of the other, and sll feeling that the
evening had passed only too rapidly away.
This is the truest and best amusement. 1t is
the healthy education of great and noble char
iovcusness of natural life. The time spent
thus by parents, in the higher entertainment
Of their children, bears harvest of eternal
blessing.

possible candidate we'll before tie public. But
when it was ascertained that somebody was
setting up Grant as a Democratic candidate,
and It was evident that this advocacy was by
no means distasteful to him, then the party
leaders on the other side determined to court
him also. Mr.. Stewart was instructed 70 culti-
vate the General of the Army assiiuously, and
he did SO. .,
| Stewart had almost daily conferences with
him, and number of leading editorial articles
written by him were printed in the Chronicle
with such captions and using the name of
Grant in such manner as to convey the assur-
ance to the public that they expressed the
views of Grant on the various questions dis
cussed therein. It is curious fact that one. OF
these articles was devoted to the discussion OF
the Limitation of the Presidency to one term OF
six wears, and the incumbent to be ineligible
thereafter. In this article many OF the argu-
ments which have lately been used to prove
the danger of third term were advanced, as
the writer declares, upon the authority of Gen.
Grant, to demonstrate that second term was
often fraught with dangers. Another OF these
articles was under the caption of "Gen. Grants
Financial Policy" and took for its text the
declaration of Grant to the writer that the only
financial policy be had was to pay the interest
on the national debt, and leave to future gen.
erations the duty of providing for the payment
of the principal Still another was headed,
'"Gen. Grants Position on the Fourteenth
Amendment and Universal Suffrage" and it
was claimed that Grant was in full accord with
the most advanced leaders of the Republican
party on these.issues.
Mr.. Stewart asserts that not one of these ar
ticles, and there were perhaps score of them,
was written without previous interview with
Gen. Grant, and discussion of the questions
of which they treated. Mr.. Stewart adds that
in almost every instance the articles after they
had been printed in the Chronicle were talked
over by Grant and himself, and received
Grants approval. 900
at is true" says Mr.. Stewart, "that all the
while there was not word said by either of us
about the nomination of Gen. Grant, but it
was so plain from his conduct that 'Barkis was
willing, nay, anxious, that it was not necessary
to formally interrogate him on this point. My
object was to find out whether he was sound on
the vital issues, and his aim appeared to be to
satisfy me, and through me the party"
The Republican party was satisfied, and the
Democratic politicians were disgusted by these
semi-oficial utterances of Gen. Grant, and
Montgomery Blair gave up his self-imposed
task Of President making In the light of
these undeniable facts the public can properly
interpret Grants declaration on the third term:
'I do not want it any more than I did the
first"

POPULAR FALLAcy.-Perhaps the worst
popular fallacy with regard to newspapers is
that generally entertained that newspapers
ought to be printed and published in the inter
est of the community particularly the indi-
gent portion of the community. Churches,
Door houses, asylums and all sorts of charitable
enterprises run to the newspaper for gratuities,
as child runs to its mother for help. Polltl-
clans, office-seekers and scallawags generally
count on the unpaid support Of the newspapers
Now newspaper, to be worth anything as
business enterprise, should be printed in the in
terest of its proprietor-.just as much as tine
merchant should run his business in his OWL
interest alone. This popular fallacy has beer
personal organs, that live by begging support
and other newspaper mendicancy.

- "The best rule" says wise writer, "is to
say all the good we can of every one, and to
refrain from saying evil, unless it becomes
clear matter of duty to warn. Slander is
sin much worse than theft. We should no
more bite one with our words than with our
teeth. An angry word is worse than blow
often, and satirical word is like sting"

gentleman, but the prettiest and most pathetic
Is that given by young lady "a gentleman" j"

mans tenderness with mans courage"

his clerks are very talkative during the day,

TOMATO CULTURE-As the majority of per-
sons esteem tomatoes, and no garden is COM
plete without them, the following hint as to
their culture is in place, and first, strong and
healthy plants can only be had by good, strong
land The plants should not be allowed to
waste their strength by running to vines, and
by pinching the tips good fruit will be the re-
suit. Trellises should be given the plants, for
if allowed to lay on the ground the fruit will
be inferior in size and not so abundant Trel.
lises can be made in variety Of ways and
with but little trouble.

WASHINGTON. May 81.


m $50 WASHINGTON, May 81.
President Grant in his third-term letter de-
clares that he did not seek the nomination for
the Presidency in the first instance. This is
perhaps true to this extent: he never openly
went about, as some politicians are doing, elec'
tioneering for the place, and fixing the pins
clans: but he cannot successfully deny that he
encouraged the advocacy of his claims for the
position BY leading men in the Democratic as
well as the Republican party. The Hon.
Montgomery Blair has asserted more than
once, on his honor as gentleman, that Gen:
Grant was fully aware of the movement begun
by him in 1876 to bring out Grant as
Democratic candidate. Grant visited his house
almost daily, and gave him to understand that
he was entirely in accord with the Democracy,
Hhas he had always been Democrat and that
ina only vote he had ever given was for the
Deeecratic ticket in 1860. He was aware that
Mr.. Blair was inspiring certain articles that
were being printed in the National Late!hgemcerr
and New York World, and which advocated
Grants nomination by the Democratlc party.
So far from these articles giving offence TO
Grant, Mr.. Blair declares that Grant expressed
himself well pleased with them, and IN many
ways manifested his appreciation OF the inter-

conversation. encourage me to go on with the
work I had begun, and just as certainly did he
give me good and sufficient cause in the first
instance to begin the agitation.a'
While this coquetting was going on with the
Democrats through Montgomery Blair, the Re-
publican leaders here began to get very uneasy.

TIE Ross AND THE POPE.

After the serenaders had visited the White
House OH Saturday night, and given three
cheers for "the Presidents schoO-pOlicy,"
they won't off and, by some strange assOcia-
ton of ideas, serenaded Boss Shepherd. Mr..
Shepherd. too. made O speech, for a report OF
which we look in vain through the Sunday
papers. We ere encouraged, however, TO hope
that tie three cheers were not lost upon the
distinguished statesman and financicr OF the
District, and that he pitched into the Pope
of Rome, and made it plain to the
mcanest intellect-and there are some
very mean intcllects in WasbingtOn-that
tho preservation of the District Ring was in
timately connected with the supremacy OF the
Protestant religion. Say what you please
about paving contracts and real estate pools,
and certificates of Indebtedness, and fraudu-
lent measurements, and all that astonishing
multiplicity of swindcs which caused Congress
20 abolish the District Government and the
Senate TO reject Shepherd with indignation
when the President nominated him Cor Com
missioner, yet you must admit that the Boss
is no friend TO the Inquistion, and on the
question of Yetcanism IN American politics he
is as sound as q rock.
"Boss Shepherd forever, and down with the
"Popc!n would be nice cry for 1875. When
the conflict which the President anticipates
between patriotism and superstition comes off.
we know just where to find Shepherd-and
Harrington too, and Fisher, and Nettleship,
and all the rest of tbem--and in these days,
when marQuises and so many other distin-
guished persons are going over, it is great
comfort to feel that there are two or three
statesmen who plant themselves squarely on
the Westminster Catechism, and are proof
against all tho seductons of the Jesuits and
Cardinal McCloskey. AS long as Shepherd is
out of Jail, the reformed faith, and the schools,
and the Ten Commandments will never lack
champion-if there is any money i'll them.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1875-11-08

The speech which President Grant made to
party of sorcnaders on Saturday night was per
haps rather too partisan in tone considering that
lie is the Chief Magistrate not of one party alone
but of the whole country; yet there was so
much honest feeling in it that every good and
intelligent citizen will DC glad that he made It,.
For our own part We do not believe that the
Republican victory was strictly a triumph
for hard money, nor are we convinced
as yet that its results VIII be precisely what
the President anticipates; but We agree with
him that the infatinni7i3 have received n
sttUnning blow, if We cannot say mortal one,
and We sympathize heartily in the delight with
which he regards that aspect OF the victory.
His plain and homely speech will have an cx-
ceent influence upon his own party, and per-
haps some effect upon the wavering Democ-
racy also.
When he tells us however, that "the peo-
"ple now know what kind of money they are
"to have in the future" his exultatiOn runs
away with his Judgment. We shall have moth
ing better than rag money until one party or
the other takes some practical step Tor the
restoration of specie payment Platform reso-
lutions are well enough in their Way as prom
ises: Is it not time to begin performance
The compromise currency bill WAS intended
only TO delude the country with prospects that
could never be realized and its uses. even Tor
that purpose have been exhausted. We are
not one step nearer specie than before IT
passed We are making no sort of preparation
for resumption; and when the date assigned
for that event comes, unless we speedily rouse
ourselves, we shall not resume. Whether
the Republicans are TO control the Government
of the United States four years longer or not
it is desirable that this question should at
once be lifted out of politics. 1t can be set at
rest by practical, business-like measure OF
currency reform, and the honest men of both
parties in the approaching Congress ought to
unite, without regard to political differences,
to bring 1t about. There is chance for
Republicans and Democrats alike in this
matter to earn the confidence of the country,
and no one can deny that in the present
uneasy balance of parties neither can afford to
try any experiments with the public patience

FALSE REPORTS or INDICTMENT.

The authors of the recent sensational reports
from St. Louis ran before they were sent. At
this distance they seem to have made an
astounding mistake. If tho Grand jury had
reached so startling and alarming conclusion
AZ the Indictment of the brother of
the President of the United States and of
his Private Secretary, for the crime of robbing
the revenue, the news should not have been
published without the most careful vcrification
and scrupulous accuracy. TO invent such a
scandal publish it broadcast, and telegraph 1t
throughout the country, is about as outrageous
a piece of triting at once with private charac-
ter and public interests as the country has ever
witnessed.
1t would be well for the authors of such in
yentions to correct n false impression under
which they labor. 1t is not true that the
American people receive with relish discredit-
able reports concerning their Chief Magistrate.
They have not approved many OF his public
acts, and his own party has risen in revolt
against the idea of his being candidate for q
third term; but neither in The case of Presi-
dent Grant nor Of any previous incumbent OF
the Office has it been q pleasant thing for the
people, whether friends or foes to his admins
tration, to believe him personally dishonest
man, or to hear of dishonesty and vul-
Gar theft as being traced under his
roof. IL ever such calamity should
bcfall the country-for in more ways than one
such discovery would DO a genuine national
calamity-it should be a subject of profound
regret, even to the bitterest opponents OF
the Administration, and TO all who value
the fair fame of tho country. lis announce
ment should be tolerated only on absolute ev-
idence, and even then those men would not
especially commend themselves to public favor
who made haste to be the first bearers of the
bad news.
Whatever the mystery about the st. Louis
indictments, we hope the matter may be
pushed to the uttermOst, and the guilty parties,
whoever they may be, dragged to light and
punishment But till the facts are ascertained,
let us have no more reckless inventions.
