Elk President Grant, accompanied
by his wife, sailed from Philadelphia
Thursday in the steamship Indiana
for Liverpool, and received before
his departure the hearty goodbye
wishes of many of his old friends and
associates for safe and pleasant voy-
age to and sojourn in foreign lands.
1t is his intention to be absent two
years, during which time he will
visit all of the European Capitals,
but only as as private citizen. We
have no boubt but that he will meet
with a cordial reception in all of his
travels, and will find that rest which
long and arduous duties entitle him
to. The man who served his country
faithfully for years in the field, and
who, with all the shortcomings attri-
buted to him, stroYe to rightly dis
charge the function of Chief Magis-
trate of the Republic for two terms
of Office deserves our grateful thanks,
and we can only unite in wishing
him pleasant journey and safe
return. 1t would not be at all Curl
Gus if the military instinct should
influence him so strongly on his ar
rival in Europe that before many
weeks are past we should hear Of him
as a critical observer of the scense of
the war in the East.

The noble 'unrecognizer' is having
a warm time of it. He not only loses
a good deal ofchampagne and lobster
salad, but he gets his ears pulled by
every. body, his friends even taking
a dand. The Chicago Times, guam
dunn Tilden organ of the most violent
type, says of the persons who declin-
ed to attend the Chamber of Com
merce danquet: 1.-THE behavior of
those incorrigible relics of the siluri-
an party was ridiculous and con-
temptible. They simply made con-
spicuous asses of themselves. OF all
the ways in which the ecclesiastical
demagogues Of the most irrational
party idolatry show themselves
jackasses, the refusal to recognize
what is, and which cannot be made
what it is not, is the most silly and
contemplate " There is a touch of
unkindness in this, but it has a flavor
of truth withal.

The condition of affairs on the Rio
Grande is attracting attention at
Washington, and threatens to give
trouble if the depredations of the
Mexican banditti are not curbed by
its own Government, the prospect
of doing which does not seem at
present to be particularly bright.
The peculiar character Of the coun-
try, covered, as it is near the Rio
Grande, by dense thickets, through
which narrow pathways lead to the
farming and grazing lands situated
from fifty to one hundred miles from
the river, have rendered it almost
impossible for any military force
which the United States has been
able to send there to protect the
ranchmen from these constant incur
siOns. Indeed, large section of the
country once covered with immense
herds of cattle has become almost
depopulated, and the raids by Mexi-
can robbers have been extended to
great distances into the interior.
Since the adjournment Of Congress
the condition of affairs on the Rio
Grande has repeatedly been brought
to the attention of the President and
members Of his Cabinet, not only by
Representatives from Texas, but also
General Ord, who is in command of
the United States troops there. The
administration has at length conclu-
ded that the time has come when
some decided and pronounced policy
must be adopted and the Mexican
Government made to understand
that this state of affairs, which has
so long eaisted, cannot be forever
continued. General Ord, it is under
stood, has on more than one occasion
requested that he be authorized, when
in pursuit of Mexican thieves, to
cross the border and to punish them
on their own soil, if he is able to cap
ture them with the booty in their
possession. The subject was consid-
cred at the session of the Cabinet.
1t was decided that Secretary Evarts
should at once communicate with the
de .facto Mexican Government
through our representative in the
city of Mexico, and demand of it that
these outrages cease at once. The
Mexican Minister to the United
States is a representative of the Ler-
do Government. The theory on
which this demand will be based is
that if the Mexican Government is
unable to prevent the Mexican raids,
it certainly is to break up the traffic
in stolen property on Mexican soil
and a failure to undertake this will
be considered by the Government of
the United States as indicative Of an
indisposition on the part of that gov
eminent to do what lies in its power
to prevent continuance of these
outrages. .....

The st. Louis Times, a Democratic

The st. Louis Times, Democratic
paper, speaking Of the butchery of
the Chisholm family, says: 1.-THE
plain truth is that not only the State
of Mississippi, but the Democracy of
the Union is on trial in this matter.
And further: "That State and that
party canot afford to lie under the
imputation of having aided or per-
mitted those outrages, or Of having
suffered them to go unavenged.

"The most ungrateful of all the
county journals is the Garrett county
Repu6lican. The county is SO poor
that it cannot sell $4,000 of it bonds
at par, and all its soil is fit for is to
raise few pounds of cranberries and
a small crop of mountain tea. Be-
meath its mountains lie its wealth !;
and just as an effort is being made to
reach that county with a railroad,
that it may have an outlet to the
East for its coal, that journal igno-
rantly and without judgment, and
apparently without brains, makes an

There has been great deal ofloOse
talk about the GOODNESS of the Pres
ident's reception in Philadelphia,
and it has been geelfully stated that
the greeting given to General Grant
was much more cordial. The PhiLa-
delphia Times says there is no foun-
dation for either charge, and adds:
There was not the enthusiasm there
Lincoln or Clay aroused, nor the
huzzas which would have greeted
Blaine had he been here as President
but Hayes received the votes of
Pennsylvania and Ohio without in
fusing any personal enthusiasm in
the contest, and he will be respected
rather than idolized while he fills
the first Office Of the Republic.

SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1877.
Stock Raising.

The farmers of Garrett have GER
tainly to look forward to time when
their labors may be attended by
more remunerative results. The re-
cent business of expectation of fresh
beef and mutton bids fair to extend
50 that the whole country will par
ticipate in the benefits arising from
this new industry.
Situated so near the three great
cities of the Atlantic coast it may
safely be predicted that the advanta-
ges for raising, grazing and slaugh-
tering of cattle and sheep, will not
long escape the observant eyes of
those engaged in the business and it
behooves our people to be looking
around and making themselves ready
to enjoy their share of this new found
prosperity.
By careful attention to the flocks
and herds there is every reason to
hope that we can raise and prepare
She finest mutton and beef that goes
from our coast, and it would be no
surprising feat to see our mutton
killed in our county on one day,
transported by refrigerator cars to
the coast, and on the succeeding day
on its way to Old England across the
seas. But our people must remem-
Der they have got their part to do.
They must improve their farms and
stock. Their lands must be lined;
their houses improved, and they
must aim to create the very best
kind of the article they offer, and
then they can depend upon receiving
the very best results.
The first step in this direction is to
improve their farms with lime and
other fertilizers. Have your farm
up to the point that it will sustain
your stock generously, and as you
generously sustain your stock it will
pay you abundant profits. Your out
buildings should be so arranged that
you can protect your cattle in all
weathers, and the outlay for build
ings that will accomplish this pur-
pose will be returned four fold in the
manure you will gather to further
enrich your acres. About nothing
are our farmers so wasteful as about
their manure. Scarcely a farmer in
Garrett would tell you if asked, that
he saved nearly all the manure that
he could if he did his best to that
end, and yet he can no more destroy
his assets by burning than he does
day by day by the wasteful neglect
of the manure that lies about his
farm. No farmer in the county
would tell you that if he seriously
tried he could not spread a few hun
dred bushels of lime on his farm year
by year, if he set about in earnest,
yet he lets the years 60 by, and just
as certainly throws away money by
refusing to economize his manure
and spread the lime to deposit his
labor and his idle moments in bank
which pays its dividends cent per
cent. in years to come, as certainly
as seed time and harvest roll around.
We hope our farmers will prepare
themselves to meet the demand that
will visit US, with the best beef, the
finest mutton, the yellowest butter
and the richest milk, that can be had
In all the borders of Maryland.

OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Over and over again,
No matter which way turn,
1 always find in the book of life
some lessons I have to learn.
L must take my turn at the mill,
1 must grind out the golden grain,
L must work at III task with a resolute will
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
Of even the tiuiest flower,
Nor check the flow of the golden sands
That run through a single hour.
But the morning dews must fall,
And the sun and summer rain
Must do their part and perform it all
Over and over again
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow flows
And over and over again
The pohderutis mill wheel goes.
Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not i'm vain,
And blessing, failing It's once or twice,
May come 1t we Try again,
The path that has once been trod
Is never 40 rough to the feet
And the lesson we once have learned
Is never 80 hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears may fall,
And the heart to its depth be driven
With storm and tempest we need them all
To render us meet for heaven.

KINKS OF THE LAW find In my bud
get of scraps an extract from speech de-
livered, some twenty years ago, in the Wis
consin Legislature, by Hon. MIR. Elmore.
One of my office boys, who had been en-
gageo as a legislativ reporter at the time,
rect. The subject under discussion was a
bill on the abolition of certain laws for the
collection of debts.
Mr.. Elmore said he had had a little ex-
perience i'm The law, some of which haG
been decidedly rich. He would give one
instance. About fifteen years before, he
lad purchased a yoke of oxen. and paia
fifty dollars for them. A few days there
after a son of the man of whom he had pur
chased came to him and claimed that the
oxen were his, and insisted OH having pay
over again, which being refused, he brought
suit i'm court. The jury didn't agree; but
at length. through blunders of the Brush
wood justice Of the peace, the case went
against him.
81 appealed to the circuit court of Mil
wankee," said he, land there | lost again.
Said to my lawyer: Il will give you ten
dollars to quote Pennsylvania law to Judge
Miller, making him think it's Wisconsin
law, and have a new trial ordered He
took the fee, and performed the duty. A
new trial was granted, and yeEue changed
to Walworth county. Judge Irwin was on
the bench. Any man who would gain a
cause i'm his court must either go hunting
with him, and let him claim all the game
shot, or pet bis dog. Well, l petted the
dog. | fed him with crackers. The case
was decided in my favor. When L heard
the decision, concluded that dog had hung
around me about long enough, and as he
happened at the moment to be shifting at
my pockets, gave him kick. The dog

kinks of the law, that kick cost me two
