A banquet was given in honor of Gen. Grant
by the American residents at Paris, Tuesday
night 1t was remarkably brilliant affair. 1t
began at o'clock and the guests, to the num-
Der of $50, filled seven tables. AT a semi-circu-
lar table, raised above the others, were ex-
President Grant, Minister Noyes, Consul Gen
eral Torbert, M. Vignsud of the American Le-
CATION, Jesse Grant, son of the General, the
Marquis de Rochambeau, M. de Lafayette, and
Aesdames Grant, Noyes. Stevens, Lincoln and
Sickles. The other guests occupied six parallel
tables, which were presided over by members
of the Barquet Committee, viz: Dr. johnson,
DR.. Ryan, Col. Evelyn, Rev. DR.. Hitchcock,
Mr. Vanburghe3, and Mr.. Woods. The ban
quoting hall was splendidly decorated and IL
Illuminated. The Franco-American Union con-
tributed portrait of Gen. Grant, which,
adorned with flags, hung over the principal
table. A band stationed in the gallery played
Of intervals, and vocal music was given by a
chorus furnished by the director of the Italian
Opera. Gen. Grant, Minister Noyes, and Gen.
Torbert were IN full military uniform. Speech

tHO ooCIiSo vi ouO OIlOudA ulho uHuCA LltO'
ghrul, their great leader, from whose son,
Ottoman, the nation has been named:
The system adopted of wearyipg the enemy
by collision with mass of irregular troops and
then pressing him with reserve of the best
soldiers, was the favorite tactic of his descend
ants.
''For 'swas' If we read ''is," we have an
explanation of the motives by which old Alb
dul Kerim, now In banishment at Lemnos,
conceived the plan of opposition to the Rus
sian invasion. He flooded Bulgaria with r-
regulars drawn from Asia, and then, when
their incomprehensible and apparently point
less attacks had sufficiently puzzled the Mus
covte commanders, and led to the detection
of their scheme of campaign, he threw in the
Nizam regulars, under the leadership of his
best commanders, against their strongest po.
sitions. This was the key to the Turkish
strategy in Europe as well as In Asia, and
although the old General was not personally
very active, he still pursued the same war.
like policy that has given his race so fair a
portion of Europe, and for more than 400
years enabled it TO defend it. Strangely
enough, the introduction and use of the mod
ern arms of precision is bringing back again
to European armies the same tactics which
were in use when Ertoghrul and bis follow
ers first appeared in Asia in armed support of
Sultan Al@dlein at Koniah, and first bade
Europe dread the Crescent as the standard Of
aggressive Islam.

THE voting on the Ewing bill shows that
the danger of defe-ring specie resumption
and of imitation are in proportion to the DEM
ocratic ascendency. OF the 1873 members
who voted against resumption, 1O7 were
Democrats. But perhaps the most signifi-
cant fact is brought out by the vote of mem
bers from the South. The great and only
hope of the Democracy is the solid South, for
without the South it would be weak and
feeble enough in national affairs. Now the
old slave states furnished no less than 76 In
favor of violating the national pledge, and
only 13 against it. This is far from being a
hopeful showing. If the South means any,
thing by its new professions Of loyalty it
should not continue The conflict by warning
on the nations solemn obligations to pay al
its Indebtedness, dollar for dollar, in good,
sound money. When we look at the vote of
the Western members we find it nearly even
" divided-40 voting for imitation and 43
against it. This shows that the sentiment in
favor of hard money is still on the increase in
section where the financial heresy was once
pretty strong. The home of reputation is
now the South, which is also the hope Of the
Democracy.

ERzERoUM, the chief city of Asia Minor,
especially in a military point of view, has
fallen to the Russians. 1t lies about seven
thousand feet above the level of the sea, and
contains forty thousand inhabitants. 1t is
nearly square in form, and surrounded by a
wall, with deep ditch outside. These de-
fenses, however, are regarded as of little i'm

the mountain peaks Deve-dagh and Palan
Dukan, on the side towards Kars. These are

FROM the experience of one of the Phil
adelphia passenger railways, the experiment
of substituting steam motive power for
horses may be called a success. The neces-
sary powers having been obtained from the
legislature and city council, the first steam
motor, as it is called, was put upon the track
of the West Market Street road about the
middle of last March, since which time it has
run every day with the exception of eight
days, during which it was laid up for repairs
aud adjustment. 1t surmounts grades and
passes curves of twenty.six feet radius with
out any difficulty, and it would seem that
there has not been single accident from its
use, nor horse frightened, as it is noiseless,
the exhaust steam being mufied, and. in
cold weather. passed through the van to
warm the feet of the passengers. The econ
omy, also, seems to be very great, as from a
calculation made upon another line where 1t
has also been in use, it appears that while
the daily expense of running two-horse car
including pavement repairs and every item
with the exception of the loss from wearing
out horse flesh, is $931, that of the motor is
only $565. allowing 81 for repairs. Similar
success has attended the experiment on the
West Dubuque (Iowa) Street Railway Com
pany, where one of the engines has drawn
1877 passengers up grade of nine feet, and,
when on the down grade, was kept under per-
feet control by the brake. Similar engines
are now to be tried in Chicago, Milwaukee,
Cincinnati and other places, and if it proves
as successful everywhere as it has been in
Philadelphia, we may expect revolution in
many of the streets of most of our great cities.

IT is considered likely by persons connected
with the trade in China, Japan and England
that the cultivation of tea will speedily be
proceeded with in the New World. The
plant (botanically, Thea Sinensis) is said to
thrive in the Southern and Western districts
of the American continent quite as well as
Ga Etlc csIrr sue or tne 7 acInc-Iuueeu, geu-
orally almost anywhere within forty-fve de-
grees of the equator this hardy shrub may be
grown in the open air. The process of its
culture is very simple, but the preparation of
the leaves and their gathering has to be care
fully attended to. These are no great diff
culties, however, seeing that considerable
portion of the tea now consumed in England
is produced and manipulated in Assam, in
the northeast of British India, and that for a
long time past all the tea used in the Empire
of Brazil has been native there, Nearly
twenty years ago an attempt to produce tea
in Pennsylvania was regarded with great in
terest, but fell through from want of funds,
we believe. The Pacific section of this coun-
