(From Chicago Times J

The friends of General Grant have rep
resented him as deeply chagrined at the
action of the commanders of British naval
vessels in refusing to salute him as he
made his progress through the Orient
They represented this as slight, prompt
ed, possibly. by envy or upon hints from
home, and took the matter very much to
heart Travelling simply as an American
citizen, what honors could Mr.. Grant
claim from other governmental The fol-
lowing copy Of an official note from Down
ing street to English officials in the east
shows that the English government took a
sensible view of the situation. 1t shows
also the pains taken by the Washington
administration to make Grants progress

the honor to acquaint you that her
majestY's government have been informed
by the United States minister in this
country that Gen. Grant, late president of
the United States, accompanied by Mrs.
Grant, and her son, COL Frederick Grant,
propose TO make tour in India, and pos
sibly in Australia and New Zealand, and
have already embarked for that purpose
from Marseilles. Her majesty's govern
ment are further informed that Gen. Grant
has been joined by the Hon. Mr.. Borie,
formerly secretary of the United States
navy. and that the government Of the
United States has placed at Gen. Grant
disposal the steamer Richmond, which

honors should be given in the event of

reason why he should not haveaofhcial

The Fallen Senator.
st. Louis Republican

Sb' A@Vule AeSPuOlAS9A'
IF it is to be taken for granted that the
distinguished New York senator has fallen
from bis high position, there is not another
prominent public man in the country who
could have fallen with scantier accom-
paniment of popular coincidence. He goes
down with unanimous public condemna-
ton on his naughty head. There is hardly
one voice raised in his behalf-hardly
one word spoken to mitigate the universal
censure. IF we should say there is gen.
eral savage exultation over the signal and
sudden humiliation of the proud and domi-
neering man, it would not be very far
from the truth. The whole country recog-
nizes aud admits bis great abilities-the
marvellous adroitness with which, in spite
of his absolute lack of the warm affections
that impress the masses of men, he has
managed to control the politics of great
state in his own interest, his powers as a
debater, and the skill and familiarity with
which he handles public questions. In
these respects he has, perhaps, no living
equal in the oountry-certainly no
superior. But, Notwithstanding his great
gifts, he finds himself in bis calamity, il
not utterly friendless and lonely, at least
destitute of that popular sympathy and
palliation which do so much to soothe the
bruises aud mitigate the anguish of a fallen
man. People refuse him the sympathy be
refused to them. With all his abilities he
never had a place in the popular affections
He had the daring to aspire.to the presi-
dency-a position which he possesses
many qualities to grace, but he knew little
and cared little about fhe West, where so
many voters dwell-and, in turn, the West
never learned to care about him; and
even in his own state, where he has been
all-powerful in a cold bIooded way for
nearly twenty years. he finds no forgiving
and friendly expressions to relieve his
desolation.

q GreenbacF Leadar,

According to all accounts, Scion Chase
the leader of the Greenbackers in Maine
is the right man in the right place" He
never succeeded in anything financially.
Politically, he has been everything by
turns and nothing long" He was origi-
nalIy Wing. then Democrat, then a
Republican. then Johnsonite. then again
a Democrat, then an Independent Demo
crat and now a Greenbacker. In 1868 be
was in favor of specie payments, and wrote
a tract abusing the administration for not
resumiDg. 1t is pretty safe to say that
when the people become thoroughly &C
quainted with such would-be leaders as
he, it will not take long for them to spew
them out. Exchange.

By recent communication with prominent

successful heretofore. This system is
founded on correct rules of finance and is
universally approved by the shrewdest

this way any customer can invest from $40

MANY A DOLLAR formerly spent Oh
expensive Sulphur Baths is now saved
by substituting therefore GLENN's
SULPHUR SOAP, which is just as bene-
fetal but infinitely cheaper. Local
diseases of the skin. rheumatism and
and govt are all relieved by this stan
dard remedy. Complexional blemish-
es are eradicated by it, and it imparts
to the cuticle pearly whiteness and
and velvety softness which greatly
enhance the effect of female charms.
Its soothing, antiphlogistic action con-
stitutes ii prime remedy for sores,
ulcers, cuts. sprains, scalds, bruises,
and in fact every abnormal condition
Of the cuticle attended by inflamma-
ton, swelling or itching. Ladies
moving in our best society speak OF its
identifying properties in enthusiastic
terms, and give it a decided preference
to cosmetics which merely conceal but
do not, like GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP.
eradicates defects CT complexion. The
use of ointments for eruptive COM
plants is to be deprecated because of
their having a tendency to clog The
pores and in some cases to aggravate
rather than remedy the disease. They
are, besides, seldom thorough enough
in their effects to prevent the recur
renee of eruptions OF an inveterate
type, and have the disadvantage of
soiling the linen of persons who use
them. GLENN's SULPHUR SOAR, on the
contrary, stlll further recommends
itself on account of It's cleanliness. It
is besides, an admirable disinfectant
of clothing which has been worn by
persons afflicted with diseases of a con-
tagious nature. As specific proven.
tive and promoter of general health it
presents advantages of the most un-
equivocal description.

Languor, It's Cause and Remedy.

The cause of languor, when it is not the
immediate or indirect consequence of pos
tive disease, is traceabe to a facilitating
temperature, Persons living in a warm
moist climate are peculiarly subject to it.
Diminished physical vigor aud an indis-
position to active ezertion are its charac-
teristics. Sometimes it is accompanied
by undue relaxation of the bowels, and by
dyspeptic or bilious symptoms. A relia-
Bile remedy is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, Strengthening and alteratiVe medi-
cine derived from the purest and most
efhcacious vegetable sources, with a pure
spirituous basis, pronounced by eminent
physicians mild and wholesome stimulent
The Bitters, foremost of American tonics,

climate is very productive of debility mall
arial feYers, and disorders of the bowels,
liver and digestive organs.

Conkling displayed more assurance than
good taste in domiciling himself at the
house of ex.Gov. Sprague after all the at
tentlons that he has paid to Mrs. Sprague
in Washington, and the public comments
they have called forth, OF course, gossip
is disposed to magnify trihes and give
scandalous turn to pure and innocent
friendship; yet we believe it would have
seemed better if Conkling had been look
ing after his own family instead of Mr..
Sprague's.
