GRANT IN HIS B0YH0OD.


"Nobody thought when Grant
was a boy" said an old citizen OF
Clermopt county, who attended this
school at the same time the Presi-
dent did, "that he would ever
amount To much. Tue most prom
ising boy in the school at that time
was one named Henry Wattey. He
was at the head of the class in mathe-
mates, geography, spelling and all
the other studies, and everybody
prophesied great things of him. But
he is now running torty-acre farm
up in Warren county,
"How did Grant average in his
studes?"
"Only middling. He would never
be called dull, out he was never
brilliant. He used to spend great
deal of his time in reading the Life
of Napoleon, which interfered con-
siderably with his school duties, I'M
Til the teacher destroyed that book
by putting it into the stove"
"Was he punctual in his attend
ance?'
avery. He never stayed away
from school unless compelled to by
circumstances. He was never late,
either, but was among the first to
reach the school house in the morn
ing"
"Was he noisy boy?"
"No, sir. Although courteous to
everybody, he was not loud mouthed
like the other boys, but spoke in a
low and quiet tone of voice, with un-
usual dignity for one of his years"
ave always called him II IRAN at
school," continued the old stager.
"Nobody ever thought of calling him
Ulysses; and after the capture OF
Vicksburg, when we had not heard
from him for years, a great many of
us did not know or even imagine
that it was the boy who used to go
| to the old log school house in the
hollow"
"Was Grant playful boy?"
"Not by any means. You never
could get HIM to take part in any
game or sport except SNOWFALL
fight. In that he delighted. But as
far as "bull pen" or ball playing
was concerned, he would never take
any part, but would sit on fence or
a stump and look on"
"During his school days did he
ever exhibit signs of the persevering
spirit for which he has since become
noted?"
IL can remem Der but one occasion,
and that was when the schoolmaster
logged him to make him give up a
jack knife, with which he had been
cutting the side of his desk. The
school master demanded the knife,
but Grant refused to give it up. The
teacher tried to take it away, but
could not do it. He then sent out
into the woods and got long black
hickory switch, with which he be-
labored the future President to make
him surrender the knife. But Grant
persistently declined, and at last the
pedagogue was forced to stop from
sheer exhaustion. This incident was
forcibly recalled to my mind when
he made the famous remark: Il will
fight it out on this line il 1t takes all
summer and by many other SINH
lar incidents in bis future caleer."

POLICE COURT PLEADINGS.
Silyery Eloquence.

The denizens of this usually quiet
and law-abiding town were on Tues
day aroused to the highest pitch of
excitement by the startling annouce-
ment that criminal case of great
importance would be called that af-
ternoon in the Police Court of his
Honor, Judge Gould. The case was
simply this: Miss Mary Ann Crosby,
young and prepossessing maid. a
domestic at the Silver House, felt
that a certain matronly person by the
name of Mrs. Freeze, similarly en-
ployed at the same place, was making
it too hot for her, and demonstrated
in language which if not elegant was
at least very forcible. Mrs. Freeze
is very cool, but when she thaws out
or boils over, there is humping OF
heads and cracking Of broomsticks
This highly useful article of house
hold cleaning she applied in acaress-,
ing manner to Mary AIMS back
much to her indignation, who APP
piled to the Cour. for redress. Mr.
Powell, of Dayton, conducted the
defense in a quiet, gentlemanly and
lawyer-like manner, but his eloquent
pleading was unavailing, and his
client was found guilty by the jury,
and paid her fine. The prosecuting
attorney, Mr.. Cronin, imbued with
eloquence by reading Grattan, Phil
lips and Curran, overlooking with
law from Kent, Blackstone and Coke,
combined with the wit of his native
land, swayed the jury as he pleased.
ne appeared to have some trouble,
however, in impressing them with
the time OF the difficulty, and found
~ necessary to frequently repeat "the

This mine is looking very we'll and
turning out about 25 tons of good
graded ore daily. Very little has
ever been said about this mine, but
the quartz daily passing through
town speaks palmer than words of
its merits. For sixteen months it
has constantly yielded good guam
tity of fair-grade ore. We hope
at some future time to give more
full and accurate description of this
desirable piece Of property.

The Revival of Business.

The Eastern journals, both politi-
cal and commercial, continue to COM
ment upon the marked improvement
of trade in nearly all departments of
business. The conservative, hyper
critical and faultfnding Nation, of
last week, says:
''Trade reports from every part of
the country agree that this Au-
tumn's business exceeds in volume
that of any season for years that
business men are making satisfact-
ory profits; that collections are good,
as is always the case when the prices
of goods are advancing; and that
there is confidence in the permanence
of the recovery. Indeed, in the whole
sale trade in New York many firms
report a more satisfactory business
than any season since 1870"
The New York Bulletin ex-
clusively commercial journal-in it's
issue of October 2, has the following:
October opens with multiplying
evidences of business recuperation,
which promise to continue till late in
the season, and this, too, notWith
standing the diversions of the pend
ing Presidential election, which usual
ly have a more or less unfavorable
influence, especially on the country
trade. The reports coming to us in
the commercial journals from all
ections are eUe'o more encouraging
than those aohich preceded them from
eoeek to aoeeE throughout September.
The wheels of business, to speak
considerably, are now fairly in mo
ton, and for the first time in a long
period congratulations are IN almost
ecery quarter taking the place Of
complaints"

City and CountrY.

In New York city respectable family
pays $500 annually for the rent Of
house A physician charges them from
three to five dollars for single visit and
furnishes no medicine. In the country
it frequently requires long ride and great
inconvenience to obtain a physician, and
when found he may not be able to- procure
the proper remedies. The most remarks-
BILE and unfailing remedy the world has ever
seen, and one which is endorsed by all ply
sicians, is now placed within the reach OF
every family, where it can always be kept
for immediate use. Danger arises from
delay. One dollar or fifty cents invested
in Centaur Liniment will last family
wear. There is no pain which it viii not
relieve, no swelling it will not subdue,
wound it will not heal, or lameness it viii
not cure. 1t heals burns without scar,
and renders the bites of snakes and the
stings of bees innoxious.

TILDENs PIcTURE.-Ingersoll, the
natural orator, who is dealing sledge-
hammer blows against Democracy,
thus describes Tilden:
"Who is Samuel J. Tilden? In
the first place, it is generally under
stood he is the man who, like Jacob
in the Bible, made his money by
aoateri'ag stock. He is an attorney.
He never gave birth to an elevated
or noble sentiment in his life. He
is kind of legal spider, watching
a web of technicalities for victims.
He is compound of cunning and
heartlessness, of beak and claw and
fang. He is one of the few men who
can grab railroad and hide all the
deep cuts, tunnels, bridges, and cul-
verts in single night. He is cor
poration wrecker. He is a. demur
rer fiji ed by the Confederate Con-
gress. He waits on the shore of the
sea of bankruptcy to clutch the
drowning by the throat. He would
not save his country if he could. He
swore he paid his income tax, and he
swore to q lie. He knew it. He
was never married. Tammany was
the only maiden he ever clasped to
his withered and heartless breast.
He courted men because women can
not vote, and he has adopted rag ba-
by that really belongs to Hendricks.
At present his principal business is ex-
planning, or trying to explain, how
he can adopt that child"

The Damaging Blow.
[From the New York Tribune.I

The results in Ohio and Indiana,
when fully weighed, will be found
exceedingly damaging to the Demo
cratic party. The mere disappoint
ment of failure in Ohio, and of sue
cess by very slender majority, if at
all, in Indiana, will count for much.
The most desperate efforts had been
made. All the arguments and all
the campaign tricks which the party
had at command, were employed,
with marvellous organization, abund-
ance of money and great skill in
fraud. Yet the majority in Ohio is
certainly larger than it was last year,
and in Indiana the Democrats have
not held their advantage. In both
States they have lost ten Congress!
men. The electoral vote of Ohio,
and of every other Western State,
with the possible exception of Tndi-
ana, will go to Governor Hayes.

Brides at the Centennial
Show

[From the New York Times.
Ofall the people who live at the
Centennial hotels 1 think the newly
married couples-Philadelphia is full
of them, by the way-are the only ones
who are thoroughly contented and
happy. It makes no difference to
them whether the potatoes are wat
terry, the meats dry, or soup thin; and
they don't care a pin whether peo-
pie talk to them or not. They
live in little worl1 of their own,
and have no thought but for each 9TH
er. They all try to act as though
being married was an old story to
them, and still for the life of them
they can't help taking each others
hand every five minutes. The brides
nearly all wear new watch chains
