THE GRANDPA.-The grandpa IL an in
dividual, aged somewhere between fifty
and ono hundred years, and IL a common
occurrence in most well regulated families.
Next to a healthy mother-in-law, they
have more bizness on hand than emmy other
party in the household.
They are the standard authority on all
leading topicks, and what they don't know
about things that happened sxty-five years
ago, or what will happen for the next three
years to come, il a damage for everybody
to kno.
Grandpas are not entirely useless they
are handy TO hold babies, and feed pigs,
and are very smart at mending a broken
broom-handle or putting up the clothes
line on washing days.
have seen grandpas that churn good,
but konsider it mighty mean trick to
set an old man over eighty years to churn-
ing butter.
1 am a grandpa miself, but 1 won't
churn for no concern, not il I understand
miself.
am willing TO rock the baby while VIM
men folks are billing soap am reddy TO
kut rags 10 work into rag carpets; they can
keep me hunting hens eggs, or picking
green kurrants; or, will even dip kan
dies or kore apples for sass, but won't
churn.
l hav examined miself on the subject,
and will bet jacknife that Josh Billings
won't churn.
Grandpas are poor help at bringing up
children they are full of precept and kat
ekism, but the young ones all seem TO un-
derstaud that grandpa minds them heap
more than they mind grandPa.-Josh Bill

CATARRH.
TWELVE YEARS
OF SUFFERING.

Gsntiemen,-About twelve years ago. while travel
ling with Father Kemp's Old Folks Concert Troupe
tenor singer, took severe cold and laid up at
Newark n. j. This cold brought on a severe attack
of catarrh which battled with every known remedy
for four weeks without avail, and finally obliged
to give up most desirable position and return home
unable to sing q note. For three weeks afterwards
unable to sing at ALL The hrst attack Of Catarrh
had left my nasal organs and throat sensitive that
the slightest cold would bring fresh attack leay-
ing me prostraed. In this way continued to suffer.
The last attack the severest had, terrible.
suffered the most eIcrucating pain in my head,
so hoarse TO be scarcely able to speak and coughed
incessanty. l thought l was going into quick con-
sumption, and firmly believe that had these symp-
toms continued without relief they would have rem
dered me easy victim. when in this distressing
condition, commenced the use Of Sanfords Radical
Cure for Catarrh, very reluctantly, confess had
tried all the advertised remedies without benefit The
first dose Of this wonderful medicine gave me the
greatest relief. 1t is hardly possible for whose
head aches, eyes ache who scarcely articuate dis
tinctly on account Of the choking aceumuations in
his throat, to realize how much relief obtained from
the FIRST application Of Sanfords Radical Cure. I'm
der its influence both internal and external rapidly
recovered, and by an occasional use of the remedy
since have been entirely free from catarrh, for the
first time In twelve years.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-State Senators
T. B. Stamps and Dumont, James ID
Kennedy, Louis NJ. Kenna and Rev. A
NJ Newman, the delegation of coloreC
n en- from Louisiana, had an interview
with the President this evening, Gen
Comfy, of Ohio, introduced the delegate,
to the President, Secretary Evarts ano
MIR. Kassou, the minister to Spain, who
were present during the interview. The
delegates spoke of the necessity of the
President recognizing the colored ele
ment, and wanted some practical evis
dence of his friendship for their peo
pie.
The President replied that he had
heard of the committee and wanted tC
see them before acting. They presented
the name of Col. Lewis for naval officer
at New Orleans, and Gen. Chester fol
minister to Liberia: also the names oi
colored men for several positions. The
President said that he desired TO give a
fair share of the patronage to the people
whom they represented, and, in ausw Ell
to a question, said that Col Lewis's ap.
pointment would be made Immediately
He gave assurances that Gov. Antoine
and Mr.. Joubert would be taken care Of
but did not indicate to what positions
they would be appointed.
The delegates said Mr.. Parker was Ell
tirely satisfactory to the community as
postmaster of New Orleans, and the
President very emphatically said that
gentleman would not be removed AZ
he was a most efficient officer
Chas. W. Ringgold, appraiser of mer
| chandise, will not be disturbed. but As
sistant Appraiser Fairfax will be remov-
ed. Mr.. Pitkin was urgently pressed for
the marshalship, and Senator Dumont
| presensed long petition asking for Pit
kins, retention, and spoke of his gooC
| qualities as a public officer. The com
mite then called attention TO the ther
open letter to Collector King, and his re
ply thereto, and the President said tn,
| colored people would receive proper rep
resentation at the hands of Mr.. King
and he intended to see that they wer,
represented in every department.
| Senator Stamp called the attention o.
the President to the necessity of having
/ him urge upon Congress in his annua
message a recomme ndation for an appro
priation for building the levees. Th,
President gave no direct reply, but ,saiC

aThe foregoing are facts well authentica
ted in washington, but Notwithstanding
this, that "intelligent" evening coJempor
ary, the GAZETTE, will, in all probability
be rushing forward with an apology Tor its
friends. Republican. sTg-.i. .rf"' e.
Well, our neighbor seems to display Its
ignorance more fully than ever. 1t
should know that the government Off
GERS in the South received their appoint
ments from Grant; that they are Radi-
calls, many Of them ignorant negroes, and
therefore not likely to be friends Of the
GAZETTE. Why then does that paper
copy articles into its editorial columns,
stating what it calls facts in regard to the
quarrels of the several factions of the
Republicans about the distribution of the
offices, and say we will excuse. their bad
conduct? In fact we see that what the
Republican says are facts are not suffi-
ciently convincing to the authorities in
Washington aud that a messenger has
been sent South to ascertain the truth.
If the Republicans who hold the post
offices at Clinton and st. Francisville
will not surrender them to their "negro
brethren who have just been commits
stoned by Mr.. Hayes, it only proves that
the Radical party is being disintegrated
by the very means by which its leaders
hoped to cement it, and that the talk of
equality of the negro and whites is all
sham in the Republican party. That
whenever the negro refuses to be step
ping stone from whose back the Radicals
fail to leap into power, he is discarded as
so much old rubbish for which there is
no further use. The same thing is show
ing itself here in our owp midst. Why
does the Republican take up the cause of
the negro away down South while it
turns deaf ear to his humble efforts
here to get equal to his white allies? 1t
is a little curious that so little is done for
the negro here by the Republicans while
so much is exacted for him in warmer
climate a few miles south.

SILVER FOR LEGAL TENDER.-We
are gratified to learn that Secretary Sher-
man is in favor of making silver legal
tender. Another discovery seems to have
been made that must be gratifying to all
but few bondholders; that is that the
new and a per cent. bonds are re-
deemable in silver as we'll as gold. The
act authorizing their issue provides for
their payment in the gold or silver coin
of the United States, and these word.
are printed on the face of the bonds.

RUBBING IT IN.-The Philadelphia
Times gives vent to the following display
of want Of courtesy. Perhaps it is the
only way some OF the pets of Grant and
Conkling can find to ayenge themselves
for not being allowed to continue to plum
der the treasury for official services not
performed. Of course such paragraphs
are not permitted to get before the eye of
the President. His companions are eau
tious enough not to allow any but such
journals as are favorable to his admins
tration to go to the White House. How
ever, that paper says ''Some of the
clerks in the New York custom house
are getting just too impudent for any
thing. A letter is reported to have been
received at Washington from one OF
them, in which he states that he had paid
fifty dollars for the Republican campaign
fund, and when the dispute arose as to
who was elected he was assessed ten per
cent. of his salary for the whole year. He
says: 4 think the first $50 went legiti-
mately for campaign purposes, but the
last $l40 was used undoubtedly to help
to steal an office for Presidential candi-
date who never was elected" There
will have to be an investigation to ascer
tain whether this is nation or league
