B E DAILY SENTINEL.
CHARLES YaAscIs ADAMS.
SUNDAY. MAY 20, 1877.

CHARLES YRANCIS ADAMs-
Charles Francis Adams has again
.uffered himself TO be interviewed by
a repurte. Of the New York Herald.
The reporter prefsces his story with
the xssurznce that Mr.. Adams Is en-
.ireiy out Of politics though at the
-afuc time mildly limiting that he may
occasionally become a fancy candidate
for Governor Of HE Lay Stats. The
chat naturally turned on national
p~oli.ics and men, Mr. Adams first
IN order bringing up his celebrated
letter TO Mr TIIden on inaugural
day. Here Is what be said about it
snd bow ii came to be published:
All, that letter seems 10 have cre-
sted = good deal more talk thai was
necessary. simply wrote Mr. Tilden
that / thought he WAS the real Presi-
dsntofthe Cnited states, and A. expressed
IN bun my firm belief tina, he should
have been iuaueurated instead OF
General Hayes. The letter was con
sidsred and in fact WAS written by me
ss a private communication to Mr..
Tiiden, and not intended for pubiica-
ton. But when Mr.. Tfiden received
tt he showed it to sOme OF his
most confidential friends, and they
were very anxious that be should
print IL. / was communicated with,
aud asked il / had any objections To
it, publication, and I answered that I
had not, and, indeed, / had no objec
tons, although / had not supposed
or indited 1t with the intention that il
Was TO be made public. The truth,
however, Is stamped upon it and can
not he gainsaid, and / have not yet bad
j, cnntradicted by facts. It's truth rem
dered All absolute denial Of its as
sertion Impossible. l have never re-
GREETED that letter, because there was
simply the whole truth in II, and
1 have = great regard for what Is
right"
..Since inditinz that letter. ] have
received an amazing number Of com
nominations from all parts Of the
couDtry--some from as distant points
a. CaliIornia--many of them lauding
my course, and many others Of a vi
tuperitive character, I~nanifestly written
by drunken persons, and 50 coarse
nnd vulgar that / destroyed them; but
the others l have labelled Pop Guns
and filed them carefully away"
Continuing the interview, he ex-
pressed great confidence in President
Hayes, but remarked that he would
not swap places with him. He thinks
Hayes real trouble - still ahead oil
him. He Endorsed the Southern pol.
Icy most cordially, and said that
while there can he no doubt that IL
will rebound to the best interests of
the South, 1t will also give the Demo-
cratic party a big lift in the next
presidential election. Regarding the
Cabinet, he pronounced it "theorsti-
cally strong, but practically veal -
whatever that may mean Blaine,
and Butler, be seems to think, are the
worst men on the face of the earth.
Tho postponement of the extra ses-
sio OF Congress to October, lie de-
clared to be q shallow dodge OF Hayes
and his Cabinet to give the country,
and o. specially the Republican party, a
chance to cool off. And now, having
been placed in possession of Mr.. Ad-
ans views the country ought to
breathe easy for awhile.

A MIRACLE ON THE COMSTOCK.
Somebody II always getting mp
something miraculous to further the
ends OF .ome religious faith. The last
Is started by the Virginia Chronicle, in
the interest of the Catholic religion.
II tells Of q woman who was snatched
from the Jaws Of death by the use Of
Lourdes water. Lourdes water l.
spring water, pure and simple, from a
grotto in France. There Is, of course,
u ghostiy accompaniment Of the dis
covery Of Lourdes water. The yarn
runs that q peasant girl visited the grot-
to in 1858, and beheld an appxrition
OF a tall lady who told her she was
the Virgin Mary. At a subsequent
visit the peasant was directed by the
apparition to scrape a small hole in
the floor of the grotto. The girl did
40 and a fountain OF limpid (Lourdes)
water was the result. The water be-
came famous among the faithful as a
remedy for all ills, and there are thou
sands Of true believers In its miracu-
ious efficacy. The Virginia City story
Is very thin, though .ingeniously mar
rated.
A CHICAGO girl Is 40 modest that she
refuses to let the clothes remain ON the
line during the day time. In our neigh
borhood the Cinnamon refuse to let
the clothes remain on the line during
The night.
Ex-PgEsIDENT GRANT will, on his
arrival In England, have a special au-
dience with the Queen, aud will be the
guest of that robin redbreast Of diplo-
macy, Disraeli.
