General Grant.

Among the most interesting reading
of the day are the reports of the talks
of Gen. Grant during his trip abroad.
He seems to have thrown off the re-
straint under which he moved while
President, and the true inwardness of
the man and the soldier comes to the
surface in manner most creditable to
our much DETAINED late President.
Nothing will throw the anti-Grant pa
pers into spasms quicker than to sug-
gest that be is the best man for Presi-
dent in 1880. And yet, when Gen.
Grant is told of the wish of so many to
again elevate him to that position, how
naturally he replies that if there is
danger of that, he will not return to
America at all.
Or where does the modesty of the
great soldier show stronger, or his mag
nanimity appear to better advantage
than in little after dinner speech the
Fourth of July at Hamburg? Mr.. James
Wilson, the American Consul, presided,
and he proposed Gen. Grants health as
''the man who had saved the country"
Below we give Gen. Grants reply,
which is the best Fourth of July Grafton
we have read this year:
"Mr. Consul and Friends am much
obliged to you for the kind manner in
which you drink my health. 1 share
with you in all the pleasure and graft
tude which Americans so far from home
should feel on this anniversary. But
must dissent from one remark of our
Consul, to the effect that saved the
country during the recent war. If our
country could be saved or ruined by
the efforts of any one man, we should
not have country, and we should not
now be celebrating our Fourth of July.
There are many men who would have
done far better than | did under the
circumstances in which found myself
during the war. If | had never held
command if | had fallen; if all our
Generals had fallen, there were 10000
behind us who would have done our
work Just as well, who would have fol-
lowed the contest to the end and never
surrendered the Union. Therefore, it
is mistake and a reflection upon the
people to attribute to me, or to any
number of us who held high commands
the salvation of the Union. We did
our work as well as we could, and sc
did hundreds of thousands of Others
We deserve no credit for it, for we
should have been unworthy of oul
country and of the American name il
we had not made every sacrifice to save
the Union. What saved the Union was
the coming forward of the young mel
of the nation. They came from theil
homes and fields, as they did in the
, time of the Revolution, giving every,
thing to the country. To their devo-
ton we owe the salvation of the Union
The humblest soldier who carried {
musket is entitled to as much credit fol
the results of the war as those who were
in command. So long as our young
men are animated by this spirit, there
will be no fear for the Union"

TRAGIC DEATH.-A letter from Elm
wood, ILL.,, describes the tragic death of
aeronaut Atkinson on the 22d. The
balloon was inflated with hot air, and
Atkinson was to perform on the trapeze
when 1000 feet up. He swung his feet
over the bar, and hooking on by the
knee joint, hung with his head down.
He next hooked his feet at the junction
of the rope where it was fastened at the
bar, suspending himself at full length
Atkinson then, righting himself, sus-
pended himself from the bar by one
arm, but suddenly, as though paralized,
let go his hold and fell, still holding up
his arms. He was taken up stone
dead. The cause of letting go the rope
is unaccountahle.

Public Opinion.

The very important question of who
shall represent the second district in
congress, is now being settled in that
district by the primary meetings, and
caucuses that are selecting delegates to
attend the convention. Inasmuch as
Judge Poland will not be a candidate,
we think the next best thing is to con-
slider the merits of Col. Farnham of
Bradford. He is gentlemen with a
clean heart, clear head, patriotic
military record, good standing at the
bar, and withal he is fine fellow

The candidacy of Grant is largely a
question whether the republicans get
mad enough. "Whom the gods would

he had spoken of the bottling up of Ben
