What Grant Will do.

Chicago Times.
The Courier er-Journal, with more
credulity than would be expected,
takes the story that Grant really
doesn't want the Presidency with a
sigh of relief, exclaiming Good
sooth, a merry day; and there'll be an
end of the fever and the worry and
the fret of it, God wOt Not less to
Grant than the rest of us, heaven be
praised For why should Grant want
again to be President, supposing he
could be? He is well quit of it. If,
on his entrance in at the Golden gate,
he should announce his fixed deter
mination never again to be candi-
date for office, as Washington and
Jackson did, he would immortalize
his name and enshrine himself in the
hearts of all his countrymen, without
regard to sect, party or previous con
dition. Then would the grateful
homage of his country assert itself,
restoring him to the retired list, with
big pay, and he could come to Ken
tucky, buy stock farm and with
the angels stand, just as the Ken
tuckiahs do. Grant is no fool, and
stranger things have happened than a
refusal on his part to clutch at the
army helmet which floats before the
fancy of the stalwarts." Let not the
Confederate brigadiers lay the fatter-
ing unction to their souls that they
are to be thus easily rid of the hero Of
Appomattax and the friend of the
whisky crooks, If Grant lives he'll
go for EN-.

THE curious story is told that the
body of Mr.. Benjamin Singerly. who
died at Pittsburg in 1876 Of sunstroke,
when taken up recently to be rein
tered was found to be completely
petri6ed. He was a very heavy man
in life, weighing 1893 pounds, but when
taken up in a stone state the body
weighed 925 pounds The flesh had
changed to a yellOwish stony substance
and was as imperVious as marble.
Even the dress suit in which he was
buried had turned to stone. The
Pittsburg Post states that these facts
have been verified by trustworthy per.
sons. After this we will reopen the
case of the Cardiff giant, which was
generally pronounced shrewd decep-

An estimable lady, a resident Of
Memphis, who, like all others in that
ill-fated city during the yellow fever
scourge, has sorrowful recollection
of the months of gloom that hung like
a pail over every household, and is
still mourning for the loved and lost,
writes friendly letter to a young lady
of Edgefeld, the Introductory Of
which is couched in the following
mournful but eloquent thoughts:
Let us pass over the dark days
the winter of my soul-since last we
parted; pass over the severe ordeal that
awaited my return, the breaking up of
a home, around which clustered the
most sacred associations, like Ossean 4
music, pleasant and mournful to the
soul pass over the sleepless nights,
the aching void, the longing for a
touch of vanished hand, and the
sound a voice that is still, and, 10

drink to the full of the sweet pleas
ures this season affords, but the heart
that Fate hath wasted no spring can
restore, and is song will be joyous no
more, never more.

This is partly on account of the

on account of its accessibility to

eight miles from what twelve

about eighteen miles, lnOre or

Mexican works pay historical trl-

it in their writings. Bartlett, the
historian of the Boundary Com
