story Of her frutless Journey last evening.
GRANT, IL seems, received her coldly, and re-
turned her warm hand shake with mechinical
pump-hande motion. He refused TO talk about
his need Of grace or his SOULS welfare.
widow VAN corr must know that GRANT Is too
busy in the plot to oyerawo the people to give
thought to his moral and religious state, badly
as that needs amendment, and probably he does
not trouble himself more about II than about
the Constitution or the rights OF the majority.

Prof. DOREMCs vigorously denounced the

Referring to the numerous recent cases
OF burglary In and about New ork, some writer's
have advocated the keeping OF dogs rs q pro-
lection against the unexpected appearance OF
masked burglars by the bedside OF peacefully
numbering people. Now some dogs are, like
some men, very clever animals; others, ike
some men, are not, and they will occasionally
bark. "a men sometimes do, Nithout the slight

When the garrotng mania set in among the

director OF Newgate prison. that the garroters
were more afraid Of forty la-hes than Of twenty

than has been in this section

|uncommonly good.

all gentlemen of integrity and
highly respected in this Dis
trict (the 14th.)
The people all seem to be in
terested in the approaching cleo
ton for Representatives, and
the cry for reputation is heard
on every hand. The advocates
of this doctrine claim that the
bonds never benefited us in the
least, and that we have no right
to pay them. Now, my opin-
ion is, if it had not been for
those bonds we. would not have
had any railways south of Lou
isville or north of Atlanta.
Now, these railroads have en-
riched thousands and are stia
doing the same thing, and 1 say
pay them By all means.
