prefer paper money.
The State Department is said to have

Grant and the Ex.COnfederates.

Gen. Grant was rendered big reception al
the City Hall, in San Francisco, which was at
tended by number of Confederate soldiers.
To them the General spoke as follows:
GENTLEMEN: IL has afforded me great sat
isfaction and pleasure to observe the very cordial
reception have received here, and especially
the welcome coming from the gentlemen you
represented. If you had travelled around the
world, as j have for several years
past, you would appreciate, like me,
tho value of our common country more
completely than any man can who STAYS
at home. You would be everywhere gratifiod
to see that we are recognized by all the nations
OF the earth in higher light than our own peo-
pie imagine. Abroad our resources are con-
sidered unlimited. When one gets TO see the
nations. of the world, he begins to appre-
ciate the inestimable value Of our broad
acres and the great energy of our people
that is forever upbuilding in State city, and
town. II affords me very great satisfaction
and pleasure to receive the gentlemen who
were, long ago, opposed to us, and hope, il
this country ever sees another war, we shall
all be together, under one flag, fighting COM
mon enemy"

Storms Are FOundlingS.

When we are asked to give an ac-
count of the birth of storm, we are
reluctantly compelled to admit that our
storms are, almost without exception,
foundlings, and that, as the precise
conditions to which they owe their or
igin are, for the most part, shrouded in
uncertainty, warm discussions at times
arise as to the parish whence they have
set out OH their wanderings. Dove
said long ago that storms were due to
the interference of the polar current or
the east wind with the equatorial cur
rent or west wind. He gave the winds
these names, because on his view the
east winds really consisted of air flow
ing from the North or South pole tow
ard the equator, which was modified in
the direction of it's motion by its change
of latitude; while west winds were really
due to air endeavoring to make its way
back to the pole from the equator,
whose course was in its turn modified
by its own moving from lower to higher
ATTITUDES. To the conflict of these two
grand currents, east and west winds,
Dove attributed all our storms out he
did not attempt to explain how the
currents came into collision. These
views, however correct on their cosmical
principles, have been superseded, of
late years at least, as regards the ex-
PLANTATION of our winds, by the modern
views of the relation between the wind
and the distribution of barometrical
pressure; but, unfortunately, we still
remain in comparative ignorance of the
ultimate causes to which the distribu-
ton of pressure, or the rise and fall of
the barometer, are due.-Popular Sci

indestructible States; demanding re-

The next term of the United States
Supreme Court promises to be unusually inter-
esling to the country at large. Most of the So
called political cases which have arisen from
time to time during the last few years will then
come up for argument and decision. These
include suits involving the jurisdiction of Fed

civil rights enactment, and the constituiionality
of the National Election law. The Attorney
General is busily engaged in preparing himself
for the trial of these cases.

HOME INTERESTS.
After Harvest.

IL IL after harvest the farmers say.
And the falling leaves are brown;
The golden grain IL on its way
To old Chicago town.
Joy shall tighten the hearts of all,
And peace dwell on each brow.
And garnered wealth of fruitful fall
Succeed the blade and pillow.
Ceres has blown her bugle horn,
To call the men aheld.
To gather up her ripened corn,
And bless them with her yield;
But soon the note shalt sound afar,
Unto tue rising sun,
And cheer on cheer shall I'LL the air.
The busy work is done.
The farmer for each golden pile
Takes back the rolls of green,
With wads of scrip and checks the while
Sandwiched so neat between,
AMI with his ready hand provides
For rough old King Winter,
And promptly goes and pays besides
The bill he owes the printer.

No Place Like Home.

There is no place like home" may be

alley and embroidered OH the cardboard, bat
how truthfully comes the acceptation to our

not to remain, ana at home we receive and ex-
pect these attentions, and do not feel particu-
larly under obligations, only as we ought to all

To those whom we really love II is not so
hard TO feel indebted, for by acts we can
prove their love reciprocated, and how oft /

very kind TO me: Il can never thank yor
for your kindness to my child, but / hope
to return the attention to your children" Thus

for the parents fault, hut still you do not bear
the same feeling toward it that you would like
The old saying "a black sheep in every flock :"

grief TO them than any one else, and shall we
