Ell dia 81 de mayo dltimo ha ter
minado el mes de Maria, mes de las
flores; como todas las cosas, despues
nos queda ell recuerdo mas 6 menos
grato segun los acontecimientos.
Siento no tener la necesaria inteli-
gencia para narrar cual corresponds
la suntuosidad con que han celebrado
las hijas de Maria de este pueblo los
ejercicios en- ell mes que ha espirado,
concurriendo todas sin exception 4
Ia casa de Dios durante aquellos; sin
que una sola noche dejara de estar
lleno el temple, tai es ell espfritu re-
ligioso que reina en- esta localidad.
Varias ni11as de la congregation con
tribuyeron con sus angelicales voces q
dar mayor realce q los actos.
Concluyeron aquellos con una salve
solemne, cantada por varias sef1or:tas
La imdgen de Nuestra Seflora la
Purlsima Conception, asl como su
altar estaban adornados con esqusito
gusto, sin omitir NADIA que pudiera dar
realce y esplendor q la Reina de los
Cielos.
No concluiremos sin hacer Ia debi-
da justicia 4 las sehoritas, que en- la
vispera y dia de la comunion general
estuvieron a la altura de su CO.
metido en- la salve cantada por elias,
no dejando NADIA que desear q la
numerosa concurrencia, asi como &
su digna. presidenta
Loor pues 4 las hijas de Maria, y
les rogamos continuen mas y mas
entusiastas por tan gloriosa instftu-
cion desechando pueriles obstaculos
que debiliten su buena intencion.
Felicitamos tambien q nuestro
cura parroco y demas personas par
ticulares por 10 que han cooperado al
decoroso exito de las funciones re-
ligiosas que acaban de pasar.

J. B. Wood, a carpenter who resided
here some twenty years ago, is now in
Detroit. A short time ago he renewed
his subscription to the STANDARD, and he
writes:
"Those 81 houses that were blown
down last year have all been rebuilt. and
a new pm factory near the track of the
tornado, where they make a car load of
pins q month
Last week / saw James r. Day, who
ran a tin shop in Jackson many years
He lives four miles from me, and runs a
tin shop in the upper part Of the city.
His wife No , has five children.
There was big preparation here for
the Fourth, but the rain prevented sew
eral companies from coming out
An effort is being made by the city to
tunnel the Detroit River, and meetings
are being held for that purpose.

1t is pity that President Grant by a
little petty indulgence in personal feeling
should cloud the closing days of his Off
cial career, and give just cause for severe
criticism. Secretary Bristow,-an honest
man and faithful public officer, was lit
orally forced from the Cabinet through
some personal pique on Grants part
Yaryan, one of the most efficient officers
in the public service, and strongly in
dorsed by his superior officers, was forced
to resign because Grant had little spite
to crafty. And now comes the news
that Postmaster General Jewell was
asked to resign by the President Jewell
has been esteemed good officer and
there are no charges against him.
Grants record is too good to be stained
by such blotches.-C Portsmouth Repub-
lican.
We believe the Republican indorses
Gov. Hayes's civil service theories, where
he claims that the President should be
left free to make his own appointments
and removals, without any interference
on the part Of members of Congress.
Would not the opinion of Senator Sher-
man, or even j. L. Vance, be entitled to
as much weight on the subject of reno
walls and appointments as the opinion of
the young man who edits the Republi-
can, or the opinion of the editor of the
Standard The editor of this paper be-
lieves that Grant never did a wiser thing
than he did when he kicked out Bristow
and all his set OF sham "reformers." The
editor of the Republican thinks differ
emily. Now what is poor President
Grant to do, with such high authorities
pulling at his coat tail in opposite direc-
tions? We think he is pursuing the
only safe course left to him-running his
own administration, in his own way.
We always had pretty good opinion of
U. S. Grant, and his brave course with
the shams attempted to be forced upon
him during the past three months, has
raised him hundred per cent in our es-
timation. There are few men we would
prefer for next President, to U. s. Grant.
If Gov. Hayes is correct, where he says,
They meant that the officer should be
secure in his tenure as long as his per-
sonal character remained untarnished,
and the performance of his duties salts
factory" Grant should have received the
nomination at Cincinnati

In answer to the above read the fol-
lowing. from an open letter addressed to
Tilden about the New York election
frauds, written by Horace Greeley last
Democratic candidate for President:
Your name was used without public
protest on our part, in circulars sowed
broadcast over the State. whereof the
manifest intent was to make assurance
doubly sure that the frauds here (in
New York city, perpetrated should not
be overborne by the honest vote of the
rural districts. And you not merely by

teen dollars per head. - [Covington Ga

quent hard times, have been brought up
on the country by the gigantic Demo
cratic rebellion, and now the party which
caused all this, is asking to be placed in
power, on the ground that it is a great
"reformer"
