"Grandfather."

"Grandfather" is the name of an old
parrot, owned by Mr.. W. II. Seward, Jr.,
of New York. This parrot has been d
great traveller in his day, but now lives
quietly at his home on the Hudson river.
His master is very fond Of him, aud so
are all the family; and he is pet Of all
visitors who go to the house.
Several years ago, when there was a
dreadful war in our beloved country,
Mr.. Seward lived in Washington, where
his father, great statesman and patriot,
then held the office of Secretary Of State.
At that time the well-known "John
Brown Song" was all the rage. The
very boys in the street would sing, as
they went along:
"John Browns body lies mould'ring in the
grave."-
and several other lines, ending with the
chorus:
"Glory, hallelujah!"
"Granafather" would listen, and try to
sing it; but all he could learn of it was
the "Glory hallelujah," which amused the
family very much. After a while he
seemed to forget even this; for he dropped
it altogether, although he learned many
new things.
Many years passed and Mr.. Seward
had gone to his own home on the Hudson
river. The war was over, and the old
campaign song of "John Brown" had
passed out of peoples minds.
The aunt of Mr.. Seward, who had
lived with him in Washington, and had
not seen the parrot since, came to make
the family visit; and in asking after the
health Of all of them said, "Don't tell
Grandfather I've come; want to see if
he will remember me-"
Then she went into the room where the
parrots cage hung, and, going up to it
said "Good morning, 'Grandfather.' How
do you do9 do you know met"
"Glory hallelujah!" said the old fel-
low.-Nurseru.

Torpedo Balloons.

The department of war seems as fruitful
an invention as that Of peace. A new, and
at first thought terrible, invention is sug-
gested in the line of warlike operations. 1t
is proposed TO float balloons over the enemies
lines, camps or towns, and drop torpedoes
from them, by means of electricity. 1t is
claimed that by means of few torpedoes
charged with nitroglycerine an enemy's
city could be utterly destroyed in little
while, or his army wholly demoralized.
There is no doubt this could be accom-
plished, if everything would work just as 1t
was calculated to. But balloons were found
to be nearly useless adjuncts by the army OF
the Potomac. They took up as much tran
sportation, with their furnaces and coal for
making gas, and their thousand and one in
dispensable appliances, as a train of heavy
artillery. Then they could only be used
when the wind was Just right, and so on.
Next it was found that if kept close enough
to the ground to get any satisfactory view of
the rebel camps, they were in great danger
from the artillery and even musketry of the
enemy. Most of these objections will lie as
strongly against the use of torpedo balloons.
It will require more transportation and prep
aration than a battery of siege artillery
and will not be anything like as effective
Shells can be thrown by mortars and guns
with more accuracy and effect than they
could be dropped from balloons, and where a
balloon could only be sent up at favorable
times and carry but small load, a gun can
be fired at all hours, and heave over into q
city, in the course of a day, more cast-iror
than balloon could carry in week

FLATTERING.-A Western exchange ex-
presses itself as follows "No President
since Monroe has received so general APP
plause from the people. Monroe's successors
have all been partisans--they were the mon
uments of the victories of one or the other
of the great parties dividing the country,
and consequently were not looked upon with
special enthusiasm by the defeated party.
Mr.. Hayes has succeeded in largely divest-
ing himself of the partisan idea, and so won
upon the sympathy and support of all shades
of political opinion as to extinguish all man
ifestatons of opposition. His present jour
ney shows him how confidently he can
calculate upon the public support in the
future if he continues in the same course he
has been pursuing"

Where Is the Blame Z

Six years ago, on the 9TH of May, 1871, ID.
dressed letter to Colonel w. l.. Trenholm,
formerly confederate secretary of the treas
ury, in which he said; Incompetency, dis
honesty, corruption in all its forms, now rule
the party which rules the state. You may
imagine the chagrin with which | make
this statement. Truth alone compels it.
can never be Indifferent to anything which
touches the fair fame of that great national
party to which all my deepest convictions
attach me, and | repel the libel which the
party bearing that name in this state is
daily pouring upon us. I am a Republican
by habit, by conviction, by association but
my Republicanism is not, | trust, composed
solely of equal parts of ignorance and rapac-
ity. Such is plain statement of the pres
ent condition of the dominant party in this
state"
The writer of these vigorous sentences
last, and in a carefully prepared public ad-
dress reviewed the political situation in this
same state. After six years more of govern
ment by this same party of which he speaks
in the foregoing uncomplimentary terms, he
arraigns President Hayes for refusing to
fling the sword of the nation into the
scales TO settle contested election in fa-

sentative of this party Of IGNORANCE and

ment, had so little vitality, and so poor a
case, that when the troops were withdrawn
and the matter left to the courts, the contest
was abandoned without word.
