The Authors Publishing Co of New ork
have just published d valuable contribu-
ton to current political literature entitled,
is Our Republic Failure \ Discus
sion ofthe Rights and Wrongs of the North
and the South" by Miss Emily ii. Watson,
of Boston, a former resident of this city.
Miss Watson of course decides the uues-
ton in the negative. Her book was sub
mlttcd in manuscript to gentlemen emf
nent in literature, and of both political
parties, and has their hearty and unani-
nous commentator. The New FORK Sun,
in an able review of the work, says: ''This
lady deserves great credit for treating a
delicate theme in Il spirit Of genuine can
dor and answering impartiality-Qu
ties which are often protested, but which
it seems impracticable for a man to evince
in political discussions" Miss Watson's
many friends in this city will be pleased
to hear of her success, which we trust may
be as great i'll a pecuniary sense as it is in
Il literary.

AS general thing, the poetry concern
ing spring and early summer don't amount
to much. June is always made to rhyme
with ''tune," and there is a pervading fiat
ness about this product, which is Matched
in the season of love and leaves. The fact
is that the subject, like horses kept for
hire, is very much overworked at this sea
son. But here is a poet who has caught

Gen. Grant Abroad.

The reception accorded to Gen. Grant
in England may be made to mean much
or little, as it is viewed in different lights
The honors are certainly more than were
ever before paid to any American citizen
in that country. In the first place the
English admiration of pluck is thorough
ly ingrained in the nation. Nothing
pleases them 50 much as that bulldog
courage which holds its grip to the last,
against all odds. Gen. Grants reputa-
ton there is wholly military He is
known and recognized as the successful
leader Of the great armies that conquer
ed the rebellion, by unyielding persist
ence, and ranks there with her own great
generals. So the ovation springs in large
part from her appreciation of successful
soldier.
But there is still something besides that.
During the great war in which he fought,
there was intense feeling engendered by
the open sympathy OF England with the
rebellion, and by her material aid to that
cause Now that the war is over, England
naturally desires to do something to re-
trieve her mistakes something to smooth
the wrinkles Of the old hate The visit
OF the eX-President gives this opportu-
nifty, and at the same time an occasion
to honor a successful soldier. Hence the
professions, the receptions, the speeches,
and the honors by nobility and royalty.
1t is all well enough. The honors will
be accepted as paid quite rs much to the
country that Gen. Grant represents, as to
the representative. And it must be al
lowed that he bears himself modestly and
becomingly Let the eagle take the lion
by the paw, and give shake for the bet
ter feelings Of to-day, and the bitterness
now buried, let Us hope, forever.

TIE MONTENEGRINS.

LONDON, June IL. There is great eX-
element in South Servia in consequence
of the operations of the Turks against the
Montenegrins, loud demands being made
there for Seryia to support Montenegro.
who, unless they receive speedy assis-
lance, seem to have little chance of being
able to- long withstand the converging
Turkish columns, whose object is to drive
the Montenegrlns south and westward
and prevent them from joining hands
with the Servians, thus cutting off Bosnia
and Herzegovina from the rest of the en-
plre. The feeling in Serva against the
Prince of Montenegro being left to be
crushed is so strong that it is believed
Prince Milan cannot safely resist it, and
it is also thought incredible that Russia
should allow the Montenegrins to be
abandoned. Although the reports as to
the probable action of Servia are very
conflicting, the above fairly represents
the reasons why Prince Milan's visit to
Ploiesti is regarded of great Importance,
as it will probably be decisive. OF the
neutrality of the cooperation of Servia,
from Cons antinople, strong additional
confirmation is received that eX-Sultan
Maurad has, in great measure, recover
ed. AS those discontinued with the pres
cnt regime favor his restoration his re-
covery considerably complexities the in
tcrnal situation.
A Ragusa despatch says Nicsic has been
revictualled On the southern frontier of
Montenegro the Turks were totally de-
feated by Gen. Petrovics in an engage
ment before Danilograd. Mehemet Ali
telegraphs to the Porte from Kolachin,
June 18th, announcing that he totally de-
feated the Montenegrins in the neighbOr-
ing forests, the latter losing upwards of
200 killed. The Ottoman troops have re-
turned to KOlachin.
RAGUsA, June II. Intelligence has
been received from SclavOnic sources that
there was sanguinary engagement, last

Turks and 5000 Montenegrins at Rasuog-
lavika. The Turks were defeated and
pursued to Spuz, leaving 1000 dead on

Yesterday afternoon about clock, the
grinders and polishers in Deere & Cos,
concluded that they we're not getting
enough for their work, and left the shop
The dissatisfaction arose because the 10
per cent reduction had not been restored,
as they had supposed it would be. The
grinders asked for the old piece work
price, or $3.50 per day. The company
refused to make any change in the price of
piece work, but agreed to give them 81. so

morning we'll satisfied. The polishers,
however, think they should receive more
than the grinders, and did not go to work
this morning. They say that polishers
have always received so cents per day
more than grinders. and they will not be
satisfied with less then $500 per day, or
the last years piece work prices They
are confident of an amicable solution Of
the differences.

After reaching the first floor, the flames

Employees, mostly girls were at work in
the third and fourth stories, some escaped
through the windows upon the root of
other buildings, but it is feared eight or
ten perished in the flames. At this

before any of them could be identified.

to identification. Mary Murine, twenty
years old; Mena Keube, IA Frank

after from injuries received. Two girls
and one man, Isaac Scofeld, are so badly

MANY WHO ARE SUFFERING

from the effects of the warm weather and are de-
bilitated, are advised by physicians to take mod
crate amounts of whisky two or three times during
the day. In little while those who adopt this ad-
vice frequently increase the number of 'drinks"
and in time become confirmed inebriates. A bev-
erage which will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and which is intended especially for the
benefit OF debiltated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is DR.. SchPnck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
tanning the juices OF many medicinal herbs, this
preparation does not create an appetite for the in
toxicating cup. The nourishing and the life sup
porting properties Of many valuable natural pro
ductions contained in it and we'll known to medi
cal men have q most strengthening influence. A
single bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its val
liable qualities. For debility arising from sickness
over exertion or from any cause whatever, wine
glassful of Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomac6 and create an appetite fol
wholesome food. Eo all who are about leaving
their homes, desire to say that the excellent ef
fects of Or. schenck's seasOnable remedies, Sea

if not surprised, to observe that the dis
loyal south did not take advantage of the

solve the union, and massacre all the black

to those patriots to know that the south
was the most peaceable and orderly part of
the country during the week of insurrec-

stood ready to come to the rescue, if need

prospects looks gloomy indeed, when the

A Lord Chancellor Of England once said
1t is of no use, this settlement of pin
money on woman-they are always kissed

either ceremony the money naturally gra-
vitates toward masculine hands. Many
times they are the most prudent and safe; ;
but woman, like child, does crave to
have something which is really her own,
and to attain that low desire, if such it is,
she should learn to work and earn money in
case she has nothing, or too little, to pay
half the family expenses, and to leave a
margin for needles and pins and new gloves
