AN UxsArrsrAcroRr RESULT.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun, who is one Of the best
posted and careful men at the National
Capital, says the result Of the Maine cleo
ton does not appear to satisfy any m Of
the political parties there. The Republi-
cans seem to be greatly disappointed.
They had made up their minds that Blaine
would secure a clear majority for the Re-
publicans over both the Democratic and
Greenback tickets, and his failure 10 do SO.
it is thought. puts an end to his candidacy
for the Presidency. 1t is considered that
. man who cannot carry his own State for
his party has no right to enter himself as
q candidate for the Presidency. The Dem
ocrats say that while the result of the cleo
ton is no particular credit to them, it
rather suits them, in that il shows that
there is at least one Of the old strong Re
publican States of the North where that
party has not a majority Of the voters.
Sherman is keenly disappointed ct the re-
suit, and says the election, while it is not
encouraging to the Republicans, is not OF
a character TO help either Of the parties in
Ohio. The people who van Grant for a third
term seem to be pleased with tbs result in
Maine. They say that it not only remoges
Blaine from the field as a candidate, but it
helps 10 prove, what they have all along
said. that Grant was the only man in the
party who could just at this time unite the
party on the one great issue and rally it to
They express themselves as firmly
Of the belief that the Maine election shows
to the Republicans that there is only one
in which to win back their men who
have gone over to the Greenbackers, and
is by giving them Grant as a Presiden-
tial nominee.

eEuERAL GRANT AND A THIRD

As the great Captain nears his native
soil the Grant boom is ~perceptible in the
atmosphere. We can see it and feel it in
every breeze waited from the Golden Gate.
The enthusiastic reception he is about to
receive in San Francisco will be repeated
all along the line, and 10 the country
from one end to the other will be ablaze for
him. These demonstrations. too, will be
cordial and sincere by all parties. for all
men admire and will delight to honor the
greatest Of living soldiers. There Is but
one obstacle in the way Of q third term
nomination for the General. He comes too
soon. The enthusiasm Of his present well
come will have subsidized before the meet
ing Of the National Republican Conven-
ton. The sober second thought will have
possessed the people, and the true friends
Of General Grant viii advise him not again
to enter the list Of Presidential aspirants.
We say true friends, because no well wisher
of the General will desire to see him enter
for a third term for the Presidency. To
do soto depart from the example OF
vashington-would be to detract from bis
great name and fame as a soldier
and patriot. for, say what we may, there
is . well grounded and deep seated antipa-
thy in this country to any man holding
the Office Of President OF these United
States for q third term. Then again, there
are the chances Of defeat. All well in
formed persons are agreed that the next
election is to be a close one. The chances
at best are not more than equal that even
Grant can succeed. The conqueror OF the
great rebellion, twice President OF the
freest and best Government the world ever
saw, first in the hearts Of his countrymen
at all points OF the compass, General Grant
to-day occupies the prondest position that
can be attained by mortal man in the life
that now is. To defeat him under any cir
cumstances would necessarily result in
marring the Iuster Of his great name and
brilliant achievements in the eyes Of the
civilized world. Hence, we say, as a true
friend and admirer OF General Grant, well
come him heartily extend to him such a
cordial greeting as no man ever before re-
ceived, but do not jeopardize his splendid
fame by putting him up for a third term.

GEN. HERNIA on Ex-REBELs
From the Virginia Chronicle.
The cruel. bitter and persistent misrepre-
sentGtion Of the South for political effect
in the North often drives to the other ex-
treme men who hate injustice and desire to
see the passions and prejudices born OF the
war pass away as soon as possible. The
defense of the people Of the South against
the heArtless and designing wsyers oil tie
bloody shirt should never lead to forget
fulness Of the distinction to which Gen.
Sherman calls attention Justice to the
brave men who fought the battles OF the
Union demands this.
AND SILVER.
From the Morning Call
Greenbacks and silver have each their
urposes and they work IN perfect haT-
mony with each other. When the people
of the East become accustomed to silver
they will absorb a large amount, but the
circulation Of g~reenbaeks will not be affected
to a like extent, Before the war silver was
largely used as a reserve fund by COMPARE
lively poor people, and also in making
change. If our Government, through CO.
operation with European Governments,
can restore silver to its old relation with
gold-and there is good reason to hope that
this result will be attained-the already
active demand for silver dollars will be
increased.

Form of Lightning.

flash OF lightning is very largo spark
of electricity just the same thing that one
secs given by an electric machine in lee
ture on natural philosophy, tho only differ
ence being that tho best machine will not
give spark more than yard long, whilo
some flashes oflightning have been estimated
to be several miles in length. According to
their appearance, various names have, been
given to these sparks in tho sky, though in
reality all the several kinds arc one and the
Same thing. On warm SUMMER evening,
one often secs the clouds on tho horizon lit
up with brilliant glows of lightning unac-
companied by any sound of thunder. To
this appearance the name of heat lightning
has been given, and>the warm weather Is
often assigned as its cause. In point Of
fact, the heat lightning is only that of a
thunder shower so far off that while the
observer can see the FASH no sound Of
thunder reaches him, and the intervening
clouds veil and reflect the flash until 1t be-
comes a glow instead of the sharp streak
usually soen. Where the flash, starting from
ono point, branches out and divides into
several parts, 1t has received the name Of
"forkcd lightning" This Is usually seen
when the discharge Is near the observer.
Single flashes bearing zigzag or crinkled
aspect are donominated ''chain lightning"
probably from their resemblance to chain
thrown loosely on the ground. Again,
when several discharges occur from about
the same place at the Same time, and are
screened by rain or clouds so as to light up
the heavens with a broad. bright glow, the
title Of ''shect lightning is applied. There
four comprise all tho common forms. These
is, however, one rare manifestation, called
''ball lightning" In this phenomenon, a
small globeor bail Of apparent fire rolls
slowly along the ground, and after a time
suddenly explodes, scattering destruction
around There are hut fow, instances Of
this on record, and no very satisfactory ex-
planssion has ever accounted for this curious

Napoleon as n Murderer.

AS men learn more of Napoleon, smaller
and smaller does he grow. Perspective was
needed to bring out his real stature. Nine.
dc Rcmusat's "Mcmoirs" promises to do
something to set tho world right-espccially
in regard to the murder of Due d'Enghcin.
She relates that on the evening before it oc-
Cured she noticed that Josephine was un-
usually sad, and remarked 1T willis driving
with her. The reason for it she learned, was
that Bonaparte had sent an officer to the
frontier to arrest tho duke, and that Joseph
ines entreatics that the dukes life should
be spared had been in vain Bonapartc had
answered: ''Women must not interfere IN
such matters" On the following day at
dinhcr Bonapartc remarked that Nine. de
Remusat looked very pale, and asked her
why she had not on rouge. "Therc are
two things" lie said, (which arc becoming
to woman, rouge and tcars." He seemed
in very good spirits and joked with his wife
with moro freedom than propricty."
Next morning the news reached Josephine
that all was over with the duke. He had
behaved with great courage, and refused to
have his eyes bandaged, only begging the
soldiers not to miss him. Gen. Hullcn,
who played the principal part in the arrest
and execution, was richly rewarded by Ma
poleon, who, however, always mstrusted
him aftcrward, and once said: ellis pres
encc disturbs me; l do not like the rccol-
lcctions he awakcns in me-" On the day
after the execution Napoleon was silent
during dinner, but when the repast was
over he said, as if answering himself, CAT

bic of, and it is TO be hoped that they will
