Grant and Maynard for 1850.

New York Graphic. Judge Thos.
Settle, of North Carolina, UNITED
States Circuit Court Judge for Flori-
da) was yesterday a guest of the AS
tor House. he, as is well known,
was one Of the earliest, best known
and most influential Of Southern pol
iticians. In conversation with a gen.
tleman, the Judge touched inciden-
tally on politics. lie said that much
of the old bitterness Of feeling that
existed in 1868 and 1872 still existed
among the Democracy of the South.
He thought in Florida and North
Carolina the Republicans would or
ganize on a solid platform and weuld
struggle hard to carry those States in
1880. A disposition was still shown
in the South to awe and intimidate
the negroes. Zen. Grant was the IA
vorite of the Southern Republicans
for President, although Secretary
Sherman and Blaine had many sup
pOrters.
EY-United States Senator Samuel
G. Pomeroy, of Kansas, was seen by
a reporter, who asked the veteran pol-
itician:
"Who are the Kansas Republicans
talking about for President III 1882
"Grant first, last and ali the time"
was the reply.
"And why Grant in preference 60
somebody else?"
Because he's the strongest man
and the most popular in America to-
day, and can DO elected. Why, his
name is received everywhere with out
burst Of enthusiasm. Grants my
choice. I think he's the peoples
choice. They want a man with an
iron will. That Grant has. Let the
Republicans nominate him and a good
man for Vice President, and we'll
sweep the country like a whirlwInd."
"Who for Yico PRESIDENT"
Horace Maynard, of Tennessee, is
a good man, an original, true and tried
Republican. There's no milk and wa
ter about him. Grant and Maynard
is the ticket"

A Young Martyrs Heroic
Death.

The following communication,
without signature, appears in the
Memphis Appeal:
1t has happened more than once
in the recent history Of our un-
fortunate city hat opportunity to
do heroic work, and out Of il to
pass to the martyrs grave, has
been seized by many an obscure
man or unknown woman ofwhOm
there is no earthly record be
yound the mere name in the long
death list. True in 1873, it be
came more notably true in 1873
that the names OF many of our
best and truest are known TO few
or il may be TO none save God
only. Ofcourse they are none
the worse for this, but it is the
misfortune of the living to be
left without knOgledge OF any in
spring example. 1t is with this
feeling / wish to put on record a
little note Of one such lite and
death. When the TObin family,
OH Bradford street, were seized
with the fever, there was of cource
no provision for hired nurceB,
since no one looked for the fever
so early in the season. Opposite
TO this family, on the same street,
lived young girl, about seven
teen years old, named Evelyn
Widrick, her father and little
brother Freddy being the only
other members of the household
Evelyn had not had the fever but
she went to her neighbors in thier
distress and remained with them
from the beginning to the fatal
ending. Immediately after the
last of the Tohins was buried. the
infection spread 10 the family of
Godsey liyi ~ next door to the
Widricks. Without having res
ted, Eyelyn began duty there
and nursed these young ladies'
with a skill far beyond her years.
Ii was there last Sunday morning
| first saw th;s near child. / sent
her relic; and begged her to go
to rest. Retaining in the after
noon, ! found the tireless girl still
on 1utv aud shariup the labor with
the relief nurse. The same night
the fatal fever laid her PROSTATE.
Last night in her fathers room
he begged me to tell him how
his dear child was. | could say
no more than that she was
resting-a truer word than
he thought ! meant, but tonight
they are both resting in Elmwood,
where side by side we laid the

Sherman the Leading Horse

Washington special to the Gin
cinnati Commercial.
A gentleman Of ability and eX-
p%erience in public matters, who
has just returned from a visit to
New England, says that the
fisherman boom" in that corner
of the country is not the result of
sudden enthusiasm awakened by
the Secretary's visit, but is a
deep down" feeling and means
business. Within the past three
months no man has risen so fast
in popular opinion in New Eng
land as Sherman. Should the
Sherman boom continue to in.
crease in force at the present
rate,'by July next he will have a
solid New England delegation at
the Presidential convention, ex-
cepting only Maine, which will,
Of course, be for Blaine first
choice, but undoubtedly Sher
man second choice. 1t will be
recOilected that at the Cincinnati
convention, three years ago,
Blaine did not carry New Eng
land solid at any time. 1t is now
said that the popularity of Secre
tary Sherman is SO great that
were the Convention held this
month Sherman would get four
tifths Of New England, except
Maine. This gentleman reports
that the Grant boom is dying out,
althogh Grant is as popular as
ever. But the belief is gaining
ground that he does not want
the position, will not scramble
for it, and that Sherman is rap
idly coming to the front among
the Grant stalwart elements, and
fill the bill in all particulars.

Ladies are Warned not 10
Read This.

See here what some hard hearted
fellow says about banged hair: To
our sight, there is nothing sadder
than a sane woman with her hair
banged. A lunatic might be excused
such an errastic style of hair dressing,
but how a woman in the full posses
sion Of her faculties, and with the
knowledge that she has a character 10
keep up, a wear her hair banged is,
to us, a profound mystery.
From whence came the style? What
originated il? Who set it aAoati
Nobody on earth can say Faithfully
that it is beautiful.
1t will metaiuorphose into a mon
strosity, and as for its effects on a
plain woman!-may the saints dcliv
er us from seeing it!
1t sets cur teeth on edge! 1t I'M
parts to the average female face the
most discouraged, weo-begone, done
for generally expression, We have ever
seen-as if the person had played her
last card, got cuchred, and war ready
to sell ont cheap TO the purchaser.
Just imagine Lady Washington
with her hair banged! Picture to
yourself Joan of Arc leading her
troops to victory with her hair bang
ed!
A woman in this style of hair ar
rangemcut resembles aShetland pony
which has not been well groomed, and
which is in doubt about his dinner.
Banged hair gives the wearer an ex-
preston of doubt and uncertainty, rs
if she felt a little anxious lest the
thatch on her forhead might not be
securely fastened, or that 1t might
suddenly so back OH her, and show
something which ought not to be
seen.
We always commisserate the wo-
MAJ whose hair is banged. We feel
like asking her if there is anything
We can do for her. She appears to
US like q woman in trouble. We
speak softly to her as if ordinary ton
es might jar on her nerves. We
wouldn't offer her a subscription pa
per for the world! Nor be glad if any
body trod on the tail of her dress or
squirted tobacco juice on her velvet
mantal.
We look at her and wonder how she
would seem with that mask taken off
her forehead. We wonder if she has
got moth patches Oh her temples, or Il
mole ON her classic brow, or Il COW
lick. or a colony Of pimples and "'black
heads Her forehead is to us as pro-
found a mystery as fortune-telling or
psychomancy, or naturalization; and
we get SO full OF doubt over it that
that we would give half q dollar to see
the fringe lifted, and what is under il
brought forth to the light of day.
Va wonder if she admires herself in
the class? If she thinks bangs are be-
witching? If she never wishes she
had never wishes she had not cut her
halr off, and SO condemned herself to
wear her hair that way, willy, nillyP
Docs her husband admire it? Does
he ever sneer at it behind his news
paper? Does he even say he wishes
she had as pretty forehead as Miss
Smith, Does he ever call her an an
gel, and think to himself how an an
gel would look in bangs:
But therel what is the use coniect-
Fashion is omnipotent; so is
and we do not doubt hal some
where in the world, to-day, some fool
is saying, Bangs are SO beeomin9!'
