AN OLD NEWSPAPER,

There has lately been discover in
the library OF the University of Heidel-
berg, a copy of newspaper which
proved to be the oldest German perIodi-
cal OF which there is now any certain
knowledge. 1t is quarto volume, bear
ing the date 1909, and is supposed to
have been printed by Johann Carolus,
Of Strasbonrg. The paper was is
sued weekly-each number consisting of
two sheets. 1t was mainly occupied
with letters from correspondents in ad-
joining States, which were contributed
regularly. IT is interesting to note that
letters from Vienna were about eight
days on the route, from Venice fourteen
to seventeen days, and from Rume
twenty-one days. When the matter
contained in the letters, together with

The news received from Prague affords

were daily seized by bandits, robbed,
strangled, and thrown into the Moldau.
Seven bodies were taken from the water
in one day; and at another time seven
malefactors were apprehended, "who
confessed that, on the 18th OF this
month, they threw about fourteen per-
sons into the water, and that their band
numbered eighty, who were, for the
most part, natives of Prague"

Ex-PREsIDENT GRANT.

After spending some days here in Sc
cial converse with the friends of his
youth and manhood, Ex-President Grant
has just taken his departure, with mis-
Iamily, to. visit other friends in the
West, not expecting to be with US again,
as he informed us, until his return from
his contemplated European tour, some
three or four years hence. With the
common aptness of the American people
to speedily forget public men on their
retirement to private life, by that time
Gen. Grant will be known only as any
other private citizen.
But history will not forget Grant. 1t
can not. Sixteen years OF continuous
public service, at the head of our armies
in war, and at the head Of the nation in
peace, at time when the most import
ant history OF the Republic was made,
can not be obliterated from the historic
page. Gen. Grant is emphatically his
toric parsonage. There is no time in
the future when his name will not be con-
spicuous on the national records, both
military and civil. Doubtless, the
brighter halo surrounding his name will
be military. Against that there can no
cloud arise. On the glowing disc of his
military fame there is no srot. His civil
career has not been free from blunders.
And while nobody doubts his good and
natrintio infontinpc panv will onncura
his acts and condemn his administrative
policy.
But there will always be present an
excusing angel to suggest that the po-
Itical circumstances surrounding him
were utterly unique, absolutely without
precedent Or parallel; that the difficult
ties were numerous and immense; that
the complications were intricate and
manifold; that the public feeling with
which he had to deal, as between differ
ent sectious, was hostile and irrecon-
cilable; that rebellion, though driven
from the battle field, was still intrenched
in the hearts OF millions of those whom
he was called upon to govern as citizens f;
that the Generalization incident to a
great war was fostering among those
who claimed to be his friends and ad-
herents; that the experiment of making
peaceful citizens of millions OF those
who had recently been slaves was
thrust upon his hands, carrying with it
the incubus of ignorance and all the
prejudlces of race; that the problem of
converting the entire labor system OF
one-third OF the Union from slave labor
to free labor had to be solved; that tii-

ished by war and its attending desola-
tions; that immense National indebted.
ness had fallen upon the country; that a
disordered financial condition and de-
preciated currency were adding their
embarrassments to the wheels
OF Government, and burdening
business in every department
Of industrial enterprise; that all
these combined, presented to the Exec
utive OF the Nation "a sea OF troubi es"
that m gut well discourage the stoutest
heart and confuse the clearest mind; ;
and that it were beyond human possi-
bilties to pass this stormy sea without
blunder or mistake; and that in making
his way through its boisterous pillows
Gen. Grant made, probably, as few mis-
takes as could be supposed of any other
man in his perilous position; and that
he finally retires from that position with
no enemies, and with hosts OF friends
and millions of admirers.
1t must he confessed that this is much
to say OF any human being. Even Gen.
Washington himself, during his eight
years OF civil administration, was crit
icised and censured with a tierceness
Of invective as intense as any that was
ever directed against Gen. Grant. But
with Washingtops retirement all this
Immediately ceased. From that hour
"none knew him but to love him, none
named him but to praise" And this
bids fair to be again exempliied in
Grant. AS time lapses, errors once
regarded as mountainous will be
found shrinking into mole hills; while
the labors, the benefits, the solid achieve
ments wrought by his instrumentality
will grow clearer and larger and bright
er in the grateful remembrance of an
admiring people. These are things that
history can not omit, and the memory
of which pcsterity will not willingly let
die.
There has never been military chief
tain nor an incumbent of the Presiden-
tial chaiE since the days of Washington
more disregardful of the tricks of popu'
larity-seeking than Gen. Grant. To all
this his mind was not only indiffer-
ent, but absolutely averse. Retlr-
ing, reticent, self-reliant, he court
ed no man, as he feared none. Firm
in his friendships, even tC
the verge of obstinacy, his enmities
were as yielding as wax. And these
are characteristics of none but great
and generous minds.
The Ex-Presidents sojourn abroad
will be followed by the warmest wishes
Of his countrymen for his health an c
happiness while there, and with hopes
Tor his safe and speedy return.
