The :. silent Man" Speaks.


PRESIDENT GRANT AS A POLITICAL
PROPHET.
New YORK, September ia Long
Branch letter gives a report of an in
terview with President Grant. He
considers the result in Vermont satls>
( ictory. If the Republicans cary Ohio
and Indiana next month then the
Democrats have not ghost of a chance
to carry the country in November. Ii,
however, the Democrats carry these
States he thinks Tilden will be as good
as elected. If the Democrats obtain
control of all branches of the govern>
ment he believes they will temporari-
ly bankrupt the country by allowing
Southern war claims and pensioning
Confederate soldiers.
Speaking of the Indian campaign, he
feels convinced that Crook will finally
settle the Sioux as he did the Idaho
Indians. The Indian campaign is not
over. Crook is prudent and the only
danger in the Indian country at pre-
sent is that the Indians may turn upon
the miners in the Black Hills and de.
stroy them. The President believes
the Black Hills will yet yield as much
gold as California. Regarding his
projected trip to Europe he says he
has not made any definite programme,
but shall just go where he feels like,
and take it leisurely when abroad. He
will travel quietly, as he has never
been abroad in his life, and he desires
to see all that is to be seen. On his
return he may make Washington his
home.

the Famous Lownter Family
of England.

The famous Lowther family o
| England, whose influence in th,
| counties of Cumberland and West
moreland, has been predominant
for centuries, at one time could
boast of a member who could re-
turn six persons to the House O
Commons by the mere stroke O.
his pen. He it was who rewarded
the second Pitt with seat in the
House, and was in turn repaid by
that great statesman's procuring
for him an earldom. But the
naughty patron was not satisfied
by the splendid elevation which
could not give him precedence
Of the barons who were created
earls on the same occasion. The
second Earl of Lonsdale held for
many years the high offices of Lord
Lieutenant in both counties, being
the only peer who ever filled the
same position in two English coun-
tide at one and the some time.
This officer of lord lieutenant, al
though it has no emoluments con-
nected with it, gives its holder con-
siderable influence. Inasmuch as
he appoints all the county magis-
trates and is at the head of the
militia. Itis, therefore, position
much desired. 1t was in nonnec-
ton with this Office that Disraeli,
when last in office, perpetrated a
transaction that received much
comment.at the time. The second
earl, fiding himself advancing into
years and foreseeiDg q change in
the government, went to the Min
lister and begged him to relieve
him of these offices and to appoint
in his stead his nephew and heir,
Colonel Lowther. The thing wss
done. thoug not without calliug in
to requistion the whole family in
tluence, which then developed its
enormous strength. The late earl,
the third in succession, died recent
ly, and the present peer is but a
lad of twenty.one years. His es-
tate of Lowther Castle is one of
the half dozen grandest places in
the United Kingdom. 1t is in the
castellated style of the thirteenth
century and of extraordinary splen-
dor, and the parks and surround
ings are fully worthy of it. The
revenues of the house are amply
to maintain it in the most
magnificent style.

GRAPES AS FOOD

We have on former occasions re.

According to DR.. Hartman, of Can
mes, in France, who has recently
contributed an article on the sub
ject to a foreign medical journal,
the organic acids in the grape, es-
pecially tartaric acid, deserves more
consideration than they have gen.
orally received. Their nutritiye
value has, he thenks, been much
underrated. 1t is known that thev

the blood, and possibly careful re-
search may show that they are
convertible into fats. DR.. Hartsen
thinks they should be ranked with
the carbohydrates as food. Thev

cures in the Tyrol and other
parts of Europe appears to show
that they are positively beneficial

consist in the fact that SO many

Some two or three weeks past Mr.
DANIEL NJ. CoFFMAN deposited in the
First Nat. Bank of this city $1,000,
taking certificate of deposit in the
name of his wife. Mr.. CoFFMAN
went to Cincinnati, and stopped at
the Henrie House. Here he became
acquainted with 3 man stopping at
the same hotel, who afterward proved
to be one of "the boys" One day
the fellow said to CoFFMAN that he
was going to the Burnet House to see
a friend. CoFFMAN had written three
letters. one of which was to his wife.
He asked his friend to put these let
ters in the post-office while on his
way to the latter hotel, which ne coz
sented to do, and accordingly took
the fatal letters. Two OF these let
ters, it is supposed, he put in the Of
fee, and the third one, the one adj
dressed to Mrs. c., he kept. Re
turning shortly afterward he borrow
ed So of CoFFMAN. This letter to
Mrs. C. contained something about
this 81 900 that had been deposited
before in her name.
The next known of the accommo-
dating postal friend he appears in
this city, and going down to Mr. Jos.
J. BLAZERS, father of Mrs. COFFMAN,
and where she was staying during
the absence of her husband, presents
what purports to be letter from Mr..
CoFFMAN to her telling her to pay the
bearer of the letter 800 OF the
money in bank, and to come to
him at the Madison House, in Gin
cinnati, on first boat, not forgetting
to telegraph him from 1ronton that
she was coming on certain boat.
The letter had every appearance OF
genuineness, and Mrs. CoFFMAN de
cided to pay over the money, per
haps without the slightest suspi-
cion. On Tuesday Mr.. BLAZER and
the bearer of the letter appear at the
bank with the certificate of deposit,
draw out the 81 900, paying the fel-
low $3.50; Mrs. CoFFMAN kept the
balance to bear her expenses to Gin
cinnati. Accordingly Mrs. G. board
ed boat; telegraphed to the Madi-
son House that she was coming, but
on arrival at the city no husband
came to the boat, and clerk was
sent to the Madison House for CoFF-
MAN. The dispatch was found there.
but its owner had not been there.
When Mrs. c. found her husband
the whole thing came out in flash.
They returned to Gallipolis, but the
bird had long since flown.
1t seems upon examination of the
letter brought that it is an excellent
imitation of Mr.. CoFFMAN's hand
writing, and that the chap had ac-
tually used the envelop off of the
original letter to Mrs. CoFFMAN to
enclose the precious document that
afterward procured the wealth. 1t is
unfortunate, but it only proves that
man, if he has any money in bank,
must keep his caligraphy from stran-
gers.
