The following is from the Philadel-
phia correspondent of the London
| Times, who is an attache Of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, the property of G. w.
Childs, an intimate friend of the ex-
President:
"Gen. Grant is so fortunate a man as
to have been away from the United
| States during its recent trouble that his
friendshave decided that he shall remain
away still longer. lie is not to come
back for a year ut least, and is thus to
avoid the complications that public
men usually get into if they are too
near the scenes Of political stife.
Grants movements are directed by
the shrewdest observers of American
affairs, whose intention is to again elect
him president In 1880. They intend
nominating him rs the republican can
didate, and feel confident of his election.
The republican nominating convention
will not be held for eighteen months,
but already matters have been so man
ipulated that Grant will have scarcsly
any opposition. Conkling, Blaine and
Morton commended for the prize in 1876,
and as a result Of their contention
Hayes got it. Morton is dead, and the
shrewd managers in Grants interest
have got Conkling, Blaine and Hayes
all to agree to this plan. Conkling con-
sents because he does not want Blaine
nominated. Blaine consents because he
thinks the democrats will beat the re-
publicans in 1880, no matter who their
candidates may be. Hayes consents
out Of gratitude to Grant, whose con-
troll of the military made him president,
and because he knows there is no chance
for him to get the nomination. What
e the motive-selnsh or unselHsh-
it is certain that every n high in the
republican councils who can oppose any
obstacle to Grant has been placated,
and that the plan for his nomination
will move on to its consummation.
But whether Grant can be elected is
another matter. The election is two
years of, and therefore most difficult to
forecast. From the present outlook he
has everything in his favor-including
great dissensions among his democratic
foes-everything, in fact, excepting the
unwritten law which says no American
president shall serve more than two
terms. If he can overcome this, for
tune will indeed favor him.

Paris on a salary of 5000 a year.
Adolph has not a cent, but that does
not deter him from waiting upon his
employer one morning and saying:
"Sir, l have the honor Of asking your
daughters hand in marriage" The
banker astonished rang the bell and
told the waiter to throw Adolph out of
the window. GAS you please calmly
said the clerk, ''but before that is done

are glad to hear that some of the high

selves perfectly i~ncorruptible. Midhat
Pasha, when appointed grand vizier,
was so low in money after years of

dental agent to sell a very valuable

departure sent it to him, begging him
to accept it as a mark of esteem. An

WHAT may be considered as a novel
departure in the system Of debt raising
for municipalities, is the lottery just
inaugurated by the city Of Florence,
Italy, which is heavily burdened with
obligations. One hundred thousand
tickets at 1000 francs each are to he
issued, from which 100, 100000 francs
will be realized out of this. Prizes will
be issued to the extent Of about 40, OOO,-
900 francs, leaving to the public treasu-
ry, after paying about 5000, 600 for ex-
penses, a net sum of $4,000, 900 francs
to relieve the local residents from flu
ture taxation. This in some respects
is a pleasant method of exacting taxes
from the people as the prospects of q
possible fortune to the person who in
vests, takes off all the unpleasantness
which accompanies the payment of
money to the ordinary tax-gatherer.
The only objection to the system Is the
d~emoralizing tendency it has upon the
public mind, which thereby grows into
the habit Of gambling. Considering,
however, that churches, which profess
to be the very mediums Of moral in
struction, resort to the lottery plan of
raising funds, it can hardly be censura-
BILE in a state to adopt the same method
to collect revenues. g
The world would readily pardon
Memphis IL 1t had resorted to a lottery
scheme to pay its just debts in prefer
ence to surrendering its charter and
cheating its creditors. The Italians Of
Florence have more honor than the
Memphians.

the brow Of the high prairie east Of the city,

depot has been located At the intersection OF
Pine and Main streets. The freight depot
one block further west, at the intersection Of
Pine and Water streets, then angles down 70
the river bank fnto an open plot OF ground
of which seven acres have been condemned
for round house and machine shop purposes.
The commissioners seem TO have been very
liberal in their estimates Of condemned prop
crty. Along the section line for seven miles
east Of town they allowed sls per acre for
land. 30 cents \ rod for hedge, and % addi-
tional per acre for growing wheat. The price
allowed for lots Is about what the same lots
have been held ut for three years past. As to
the depot location their seems very little adj

general interests Of the city are concerned it
its good enough, although large number
would have, upon personal grounds, preferred
other locations. There was strong pull to
have It located south Of Douglas Avenue on
the Big River bank. Also another pull 70
have it located near the Santa Fe stock yard.
But after all, the main anxiety has been. and
is still, to secure an independent competing
line OF railway to the Mississippi river.
