Gen. Grant being snubbed by the Cork
onisns has ",aken the bull by the horns"
that is, the traditional Irish bull, as will be
seen by this extract from one of his specimens
of the condensed essence Of wisdom:
We have had our days of Depression
Yours is just coming on. l hope it is nearly
over"
As this remarkable speech was made in
Dublin, it is fair to suppose that Grant had
been doubling his drinks, probably drinking
between drinks, or taking Dublin Bay rum

The accounts from Memphis are alarming
in the extreme. There seems to be no doubt
that the city is doomed to undergo another
terrible epidemic. The picture of the wretch
ed condition of the poor people who win be
left in the city after all who are able have fled
itsdeadly precincts, in the account published is
horrible to contemplate. Something will have
to be done for these miserable creatures.
The opening Of the camp meeting season at
Pitman Grove, short distance down the

full supply of cool, pure water is obtained.
The pavilion is being painted in handsome

All the Southern cities are enforcing vigor-
GUS quarantine against the people flying from
Memphis, and they come straight through

Eleven tourists had an adventure in the
Yosemite Valley. The stage was drawn by
six horses, and the traces of one Of them be-
came detached in going down one of tho hills,
whcsel the read way is wide enough for but
one team, with steep bluff on one side and
1000 feet Of prceipiee on the other. The hors-
es broke into a mad run down that fearful
descent, while the passengersheld their breath
in expectation of instant death. AT a turn i'll
the road o front wheel was shattered against
the rocks, throwing the stage against the
bluff. The passengers were thrown TO the
ground, ono being fatally injured, and all but
three more or less hurt. woman was hurl-
ed toward the preeipice but her clothing
caught, and size was saved from being dashed
to pieces on the rocks below. SO

A Methodist minister, the Rev. c. A.. Cres-
sy, refused to enter as a contestant for the
prizes in the canoe race-at the Lake George
regatta, although an expert in that specimen
of cockle-shell. But he drew mp alongside
the regular contestants and beat them all with
the utmost ease. Mr.. Greasy is evidently QUO
of the muscular christians and when one
comes to consider it, why should not clergy
men be muscular? They have more opportu--
nifty in the way of leisure for the cultivation
of muscle than many professional men. If
more of them appreciated the added grace
that comes from vigorous health it would be
we'll for us all, and there would be fewer
necessary trips abroad. Mr.. Greasy is a good
model.

Lambertyilie, N. j., July as, 1919.


The New 0reans Times, which cannot be
charged with Republican leanings, asserts
that the exodus of tho colored people of the
South is neither instigated by political in
flueuces ner by landsharks or railroad agents
1t asserts that the exodus is the result Of a
spirit Of dissatisfaction with their surround
ings and of a state of insecurity on the part
Of the negro. 1t is confident that the move
ment has not been influenced to any appreci-
able degree by political or self-styled human
itarian emssaries from the Northern States.
The remedy suggested is to let the planters
organize and guarantee protection to their
employees against bull-dozing in any shape,
to let them reason calmly with the blacks,
and assure them that the now Constitution
will protect their rights. Then the migra-
ton will stop.
Now, here is a plain acknowledgement that
there has been bulldozing and that it has been
so extensive as to alarm the entire negro pop
ulatien of that State, and the Times states
thatso far from subsiding, the exodus is in
creasing and extending to the sugar planta-
tons, boding calamity to that interest also
In view of these admissions, we want to ask
whether if these people voted the Democrat
ic ticket in Louisiana at the late Presiden-
tial election, and thus enabled Tilden to car.
ry the State, as is claimed, they would be run
ming away en- masse from their political
friends, who would have no interest in OPP
pressing them. The facts stated prove, that
Louisiana was bulldozed in Tilden's inter
est, but was fairly carried by Hayes. The
cry of fraud 2 by the Democrats is adding
impudence to their wickedness.

Nov there is something which we can

LOOK no notice whatever OF anything 2. And
cosmos was homogeneous and undttTerentiated;
ana somehow or another evolution began and

protoplasm, and rhythmic thrills arose, and
then tnere was light. A. And spirit of energy
was developed and formed the plastic cell
whence arose the primordial germ. 5. And the
prlmordlal germ became protog( 3, and proto-
gene somehow shaped cocoon Then was the
Dawn OF life. 6. And the herb yielding seed and
the fru1t tree yielding fruit after its own kind,
whose seed is in itself, developed according to
lts own fancy. And the Eternal without us that
maketh for righteousness neither knew nor
cared anything about It. I. The cattle after his
KIND, the beast Of the earth after his kind and
every creeping thing became evolved by hetero-
gene0uS segregation and cOncomitant disSipa-
ton OF motion. s. SO that by survival OF the

fish, and the simiads differentiated themselves
INTO the anthropomorphic primordial types. 9.

Heat the Train Boy.

A traveller on one OF our railroads set up
JoD on train boy yesterday, which proved
rather laughable AS the boy came through,
he, train boy fashion, thrust a basket under the
strangers nose and calculated, "Apples!"
THANK you," said the man, taking one and
"six for five cents, . said the boy.
"Oh, ones plenty for me-" responded the
"BIt these here apples is for sale," said pea
nuts.
"Wer, why don't you sell them, then"
co0lly answered the traveller.
"You pay me for that ere apple" yelled pea
nuts, growing excited.
"Naw, didn't"
ooh! well, how did you say you sold them?"
"Six for nickel, answered peanuts, bright
eD1ng up.
The stranger had eaten the last bite of the
apple, by this time, and going down into his
vest pocket, he fished up nickel and said:
" Boy, did you ever study arithmetic?"
"YeS, SIR"
"Good at fractionsa"
"Used to be-"
"Then, II IL, six apples cost five cents, how
You may pay me my money" said the boy,
Sullenly.
Certainly, here's nickel; take out for one
apple and give me the change"
The boy offered four cents In change, but the
stranger wouldn't have it. He insisted that
you couldn't divide six into five, and he had
that boy figuring all over the margin OF news
paper to see how much an apple would be at
the rate OF six for i've cents. Peanuts couldn't
make it, and grew wild, and just before he
went crazy, the stranger took five more apples
and gave him nickel. with the remark:
"You brush up on fractions before you make
another trip"
The passengers enjoyed the thing immensely,
but peanuts, somehow, didn't seem to be elated
over the incident, and was kind OF sHbdued and
melancholy like during the rest Of the trip
