A CONVERSATION is reported fror'
Washington, In which Col. Fred Grant
is reported to have disavowed in the
most emphatic terms any desire on the
part of his father to serve q third term,
and in which be said that President
Grant would not accept the nomina-
tion of tie Cincinnati Convention If it
we're rendered to him. While young
Mr.. Grant can scarcely be regarded as
his fathers spokesman, there is little
doubt that he is we'll informed as to the
Presidents expressed purpose in this
regard.-Patsburgh Gazette

Beecher Challenges the Universe.

The Beecher trouble, instead of grow
ing less ia the circles Of its involve
menf, is growing rapidly larger. Be-
tween one and two hundred churches
are in council now en- questions that
have arisen out of the scandal Other
churches are earnest spectators anc
listeners, and just when the case will
have an end the man liveth not who
can tell. But the case looks better
now for an eventual clearing up than at
any time since it began. Up to within
a few days Mr.. Beecher has been on
the defence. He was charged and re-
charged with unlavfal love intrigues
with Mrs. Tilton, and then taken into a
New York court under a suit for dam
ages for the same. His enemies then
shielded themselves behind the teehni-
calities of the law, and his friends
we're compelled to adhere, also, to the
technicalities Of the law and thus a
great deal of evidence, that is floating
around loose, and is not of any real
consequence further than to keep pub
lie mind from settling the case definite
ly, vas shut out. He was vindicated
by the means Tilton and the Free
Lovers tried to convict him through.
Still they pursued him, and now when
the churches have assembled to look
into phase of the case Mr. Beechei
comes forward, not as defendant, but
as one taking the offensive. He says,
throw down all the technical barriers,
admit everything, and judge ye. He
challenged tine universe last Friday be-
fore the Council of Churches, as fol-
lows:
Ii there is any nan on earth that has
anything TO say to my detrimert, l am
here, and now challenge him to say it.
/ go further than that. If there be any
ange! OF God more president and omni-
scient, challenge him to say aught
| 60 beyond that, and in the name of
our common Redeemer, and before Him
who shall judge you and me, chal-
lenge the truth from God himself.

This is Lean Year.

Married, on Wednesday, at the
residence Of Mr.. Wayman Clark, by
E. G. Williams, Esq, Mrs. Peggy
Glover to Tommy Barrett. Said
Peggy is of the tender age of 50.--
Growing weary of single blessedness,
she set out last week ON counting
expedition. After visiting several
eligible single men, and having to
take "No" for an answer, she at
last called at the house of Mrs. Bar
ret, the mother of the intended vic
tim. He is 10 years old and has re-
sided in this wicked world long
enough to experience all the inconve-
nience and desolation of the boy who
is too big for his nanny to spank,
and yet has no one to sew ON his but
tons. She made her proposal with
true bissextile boldness, and he, over
come with modesty and confusion,
at first blushed, sighed and hung
down his head. But, after tantaliz-
ing her for some time with his coy
ness, he finally sank upon her breast,
and was enclosed in her loving arms.

REST ATLAST.

After the shower the tranquil sun
Silver stars when the day is done,
After the snow the emerald leaves
After the harvest, golden sheaves.
After the clouds, the violet sky
Quiet woods when the wind goes by
After the tempest, ..the lull OF waves
After the battle, peaceful graves.
After the knell, the wedding bells /;
joyful greetings from sad farwells
After the bud the radiant rose
After your weeping, sweet repose.
After the burden, the blssful need;
After the furrow, the waking seed.
After the fight, the downy nest;
Over the shadowy river--rest.

An Innocent Boy.

The other day, says M. Quad, a
Detroiter, who has good record OF
army service, took down his re-
volver to shoot cat which had
been hanging around the house.
After looking at him while he fired
six shots the cat walked away.
While he was loading up for more
destruction the shooters small
boys inquired:
Father, did you ever kill any
one while you were in the army?'
II suppose so, my son."
After long pause the boy con-
tinued
"Then you must have got near
enough to hit 'em with an ak,
didn't you ?"
1t was then discovered to be
about school time.
