Robson had sent in his resignation, but
the President refused to accept it until the
Naval Committee had passed upon the

if this is true, found that discretion would
be the better Of valor, and that it would be
better for him to resign than to suffer the

In war Grant was stern officer, slew
in action and generally successful in his
movements, but whether he will prove se
in political manpuvre, remains TO Dc
seen. His recent combination to over
throw Blaine, certainly had the efiec, OF
startling the country, and looked as
though Gran. in politics as in war was a
very strategic leader. But the result OF
the elections on Wednesday made 80
many additions to the Blaine column that
it really looks Is though there would be
counter current to the Grant, Conk ling
Comeron ring that will over match il.
State conventions were held in Minnesota,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois,
which, in their summing up will give
10 Blaine sixty additional votes at Cincin-
natl. This looks very encouraging for his
prospects, and very much as though the
new combination would be defeated in
their grand scheme 10 secure the nomina-
ton for Senator Conkling. Thus far
Conkling is such great distance behind
in the race that it is feared-unless some
thing extraordinary occurs in the po-
litical machinery favorable to him
he cannot expect to catch up, leaving
out passing them altogether In the po-
iitical circles at Washington, the work o.
Wednesday's Conventions are regarded a.
rremediable blows upon the recent poo
formed by Grant, Conkling and Cameron
TO sell out three OF the largest States te the
middle man in this co-partnership. But
We hold that, even in the face Of all this
encouragement, which shows decided
Indifference to the Presidents dictation a~

ing movement will make itself heard at
Cincinnati. II Grant has not succeeded il

YOUTHFUL CoNDUcT.-The line of con
duct chosen during the five years from
fifteen to twenty, will, in almost every
instance, determine his character for
life. AS he is then careful or careless,
prudent or improvident, industrious or
indolent, truthful or discriminating, in
telligent or ignorant, temperate or dis
solute, SO will he he in after years, and
it needs no prophet to cast his horoscope
or calculate his chances in life.

There is nothing so absolute rs the
tyranny of weakness. Sometimes really
good man will suffer himself to be so
victimized by nervous, silly. selfish
wife that he dare not call his soul his
own. BY thousand underhand ways
she succeeds in alternating him from his
own Misunderstanding his natural ties,
hindering his most sacred duties, putting
a stop to his honest work in the world,
his rightful influence therein, and all
the pleasures that belong thereto. And
these being to n man SO much wider
than any woman's. the loss is the great
er, the pain the sharper. One can mag
inc n large minded, honorably ambitious
man actually writhing under the sacri
fees forced from him by a wife feeble in
every way; who destroys not merely his
own happiness, but his good reputation.
Since, when it is seen that her merest
whims are held by him of paramount
Importance, that her silly, selfish yes or
no is to decide every action of his life,
do not his friends laugh ut him behind
his back, even though before his face
they may keep up decorous gravity?
"Poor fellow! with such goose for his
wife," Yet the pity is akin to contempt,
and something more than contempt is
felt, especially by his mother, sisters or
female friends, toward that wife who ex-
acts from him the remuneration of all his
duties except those towards herself; in
plain English, "makes fool of him
SELF" because in his devotion he has
offered everything to her, and she has
meanly accepted the sacrifice. -Ha,per's

Dip yon ever have chat with your
barber while he was brushing your hair?
One might do snch thing, occasionally,
with profit. The venerable Robert Piles,
while performing this service for Gus
toner can he drawn ont into relating
pleasant "reminiscences of Andrew Jack
son, on whom he waited ut the table; Of
Daniel Webster, whom he drove in
coach and at whose side he sat; of Henry
Clay, whom he shaved; of John Quincy
Adams, on whom he waited; of old Tom
Benton, Tom Corwin. and scores of other
lights of the olden time. The trouble
with "Old Harry Clay with Piles. is,
that he didn't emancipate his slaves.
Mr.. Piles is really n rare relic of olden
times, and a genuine philosopher, at
that. Speaking of the fact Of so many
public men and others who have been
struck with paralysis, he ascribed it to
the great strain brought upon their
mental and physical systems by the great
war OF the rebellion, which they had
never been able to overcome. This
seemed to us to be very reasonable
suggestion.
