The following special to the New
Orleans Times evidences that the ques.
ton of veracity between Grant and
Pierrepont, his Attorney General, is
far from being settled:
The Attorney General has squarely
accused the President of untruth. In
his evidence tefore the committee, he
says he would never have written that
letter to Dyer at all but for the Presi-
dents persistent pressure that it should
be done, aud that il met Grants most
cordial appreciation. The President
says that he never ordered the letter
written, and did not know of such
thing being In existence until 1t was
published in the Chicago Times. The
opinion here Is that the President has
got the worst of 1t, and that Pierrepont
has told the truth.

LOUISVILLE, as we'll as st. Louis,
seems determined to cry down Chica-
go. The Courier-Journal says;
Several dispatches from Chicago
have recently appeared which were
designed to make people believe that
the finances of that city are in very
salubrious condition. The Chicago
Tribune, however, states that there
We're unpaid taxes in January TO the
amount of about $4,000, 600, and &c.
OO0,O00 of this sum was due two years
ago. On July LIST, the city has to pay
80, 400, 900, aid has but $500, 600 in the
treasury to do 1t with. The tax-pay-
ers will not disburse and money-lend-
ers draw their purse-strings together
and the situation generally Is blue.
The delinquent tax list of Chicago il,
of course, unusually large this year.
The city has been run by bummers fol
two or three years.

The West has never had It's share OF
the hon0ra, and the loud and bitter
complaints of Its press aud people up,
on this score has been just and well
founded. The election of Mr.. Ireland
would 20 far toward putting an end to
the dsunlon clamor In Western Texas,
and do more possibly to unity the
State than any other one net by our
Legislature"
Such are the professions of those peo
pie on the other side OF the Colorado;
they know that John Ireland Is the
most obnoxious politician to II vast
proportion Of the people of Western
Texas. We believe that he has sold out
our interest, time and again, for the
furtherance of his political fortune,
yet they--the people Of trans-Colorado,
Texas would make II pretense of
examining him down our throats rs

purpose CT making our antago-
nism 10 him more pronounced thereby
aflording those people n pretext for
sending one of their own men. We,
In Western Texas, are not numerically
strong, but we are not such fools as to
be unable to perceive and appreciate
your neanness and double dealing.
Elect whom you choose, for Western
Texas has really no potential voice in
the matter, but do not be so cruel as to
saddle upon us man whom we be-
lieve to be the bitterest enemy to the
interest of Western Texas. The only
consolation we derive from your tao
ties, is the belief in your insinoerity--
that your object is to elect some trans
Colorado man.--San Antonio Herald.
1t is manifest that our Judgment is
correct, and that Western Texas has
had enough of Ireland.

How Grapes are Pressed.

The most primitive way of pressing
grapes for wine, it is hardly necessary to
say, says GALAXY writer, is by treading
a process which saw both in France
and Palestine. In the iatter-on Mount
Zion in Jerusalem-the grapes were
thrown into wooden box about four
feet square and three deep the bare
legged Arabs, bracing themselves with
their hands on each others shoulders,
tramped the frHit by the hour, as the
juice issued from hole in the bottom
OF the box into tub. A traveller stand
ing by thought the process was indeli-
cate, but be was informed that fermen-
tation, like fire, is purifier.
The primitive pressing which I saw
in France was done not far from Dion,
and not great distance from a region
where the most improved methods of
pressing are employed. II was nearly
equal III simplicity to that practiced on
the hills of Judea. In Jerusalem the
Arabs tramped with their naked feet,
and in the out-of-the-way place referred
to in France the trarlping was done
under the sabot. The must (the crushed
mass of grapes) was thrown into vat,
when eight or ten men jumped in and
tramped about in it, using their hands
as well as their feet to press out the
clumps which cling together. This was
done also with view to warm the must
by the natural heat of their bodies, and
thus hasten fermentation. Their faces
were stained with the Juice, and they
were CORY to the shoulders.

How to Cure a Bad Memory,

Your memory is bad, perhaps; but l
can tell you two secrets that will cnre the
worst memory. One is to read sub
ject whea strongly interested. The
other is, to not only read, but think.
When you have read a paragraph or a
page, stop, close the book, and try to
remember the ideas on that page, and
not only recall them vaguely in your
mind. but put them into words and
speak them ont. Faithfully follow these
two rules, and you have the golden keys
OF knowledge. Besides inattentive
reading, there are other things injurious
to memory. One is the habit of skim
ming over newspapers, items Of news,
smart remarks, bits of information, po-
litical reflections, fashion notes, all in
confused jumble, never to be thought Of
again, thus diligently cultivating a
habit OF careless reading hard to break.
Another is the reading of trashy novels.
Nothing is so fatal to reading with profit
MS the habit OF RAINING through story
after story, and forgetting then as soon
as read. | know gray haired woman.
a lifelong lover of books, who sadly de-
clares that her miud has been ruined by
such reading.
A help to memory is repetition.
Nothing is SO certain to keep your
French fresh, and ready for use, as to
have always on hand an interesting story
III that language, to take up for ten min
utes every day. In that case, you will
