A Shanghai correspondent of the Tribune
writes: The reception of Gen. Grant at this
commercial capital of Eastern Asia is proving
the grand event of the season, if not in the
history of the city. For several months citi-
zens of all nationalities have talked about the
anticipated pleasure of meeting him. Both
the anticipation and the realization have been
cosmopolitan. The English have felt that it
was no humbling to their pride to do the ut
most honor to him. The French have seemed
prompted by n republican fellowship to out
do as far as their limited number would per-
init, the many representatives here of the Brit
ish monarchy. The Germans have shown that
they can do honor to others in the world than
the Emperor William and Prince Bismarck.
And the Russians evidently still cherish pleas
ant recollections of the enthusiastic hospitali-
ties experienced by the Grand Duke Alexis in
America. When the Duke of Edinburgh was
SO magnifcntly entertained by the foreign
residents of Shanghai a few years ago, it is
generally conceded that the welcome was not
more hearty, nor the demonstrations more
magnificent, than the ex-President is now re-
ceiving. Nor are the 800, 900 Chinese of this
great metropolitan city blind to what is going
on, nor dumb amid the numerous expressions
of foreign delight. Many of the native popu-
lation see in Gen. Grant the predecessor and
representative of President Hayes, who has
vetoed the anti Chinese bill. They do not
thoroughly understand the situation, nor
make clear distinctions in American politics,
but they say Congress is against them, mis-
representing the great majority of their con-
stituents, while the President of the United
States is an honest man, friendly to the Chi
nese, and one who considers treaty obliga-
tions binding The native population of
Shanghai would have no welcome for Con-
gress, which it would consign to everlasting
disgrace, but it has and is extending a gen
uine greeting to the administration in the per-
son of Gen. Grant. If President Hayes were
here himself he would probably be deifled,
and Tauist temple would forthwith be erect
ed to his memory. 1t is by no means certain
that the President will leave Shanghai with
out being added to the Pantheon of the gods.

On Monday the President also sent the fol-
lowing message to the House, urging Con-
gress to make the necessary appropriation
for the pay of United States Marshals;
To tie Senate and House Of Representatives.
The bill asking appropriations for the pay
ment of fees of United States marshals and
their general deputies which have this day
returned to the House of Representatives lin
which it originated) with my objections, hay
ing on its reconsideration by that body failed
to become law, / respectfully call your at
tention TO the immediate necessity of making
some adequate provision for the due and eff
Client execution by the marshals and deputy
marshals of the United States, of the constant
and important duties enjoined upon them by
existing laws. All the appropriations to pro-
vide for the performance of these indispensa-
BILE duties expire to-day Under the laws
prohibiting public officers from involving the
Government in contract liabilities beyond the
actual appropriation, it is apparent that the
means at the disposal of the Executive De-
partment for executing the laws through the
regular ministerial officers will, after to-day
be left inadequate. The suspension of the
necessary functions in the ordinary admins
tration of the first duties of the Government
for the shortest period is inconsistent with
the public interest, and at any moment may
prove inconsistent with the public safety. It
is impossible for me to look without grave
concern on a state of things which leaves the
public service thus unprovided for and the
public interest thus unprotected; and ear
nesty urge on your attention the necessity of
making immediate appropriation for the
maintenance of the service of the marshals
and deputy marshals for the fiscal year which
commences tomorrow

The Best Of Lessons.

What shall teach my child? Teach
him that it is better to die than to lie !;
that it is better to starve than to steal !;
that it is better to be a scavenger or
wood chopper than to be an idler and
a dead-beat; that it Is just as criminal,
and more reprehensible, to waste Mon
day as to desecrate Sunday; that labor
is the price of all honest possessions /;
that no one is exempt from the obliga-
tion to labor with head or hands or
heart; that 'Tan honest man is the no
blest work OF God" That knowledge
is power; that labor is worship, and
idleness is sin; that it is better to eat
the crust Of independen poverty than
to luxuriate amid the richest viands as
dependent. Teach him these ia cts till
they arc woven into his being and reg
ulate his life, and we will insure his
success, though the heavens fall.-Se-
lected.

was not his first or even his second
choice.
The success of the Republican party
is of paramount importance in the
coming election and it becomes all to
subordinate private and personal prefer
ences to the general good. The reasons
that seem so conclusive to us, in favor
of our candidate being the best man for
the place and having more claims upon
the suffrages of the people, do not ap-
pear SO important to others who view
matters from another standpoint.
Granted that each faction is equally
honest in its own preference, it would
hardly become the defeated party to
charge that the convention was run
by a ring, or that the ticket was all cut
and dried and no opportunity given for
the expression of an intelligent prefer
ence by the delegates and afterwards
by the people.
1t has occurred to us that it makes n
remarkable difference how we view the
proceedings of the ring, whether We,
ourselves belong to the one that Is sue
cessful or the one that fails. When our
side wins, the end sanctifies the means,
even when the means are not entirely
Legitimate, but if it fails we visit our
opponents with denunciations most un-
charitable and unreasonable. We do
not thirk, nor do We believe any one
has reason to suppose that our recent
State convention was manipulated in
the interest of any ring or clique. New
er, we believe, was candidate for gov
ernor nominated by a more unanimous
and spontaneous impulse of the people
than the Hon. Chas. Foster. Nor does
1t appear reasonable to assume in ad-
vance that the coming Senatorial Con-
vertion is to be managed by a ring who
| will ignore the eternal fitness of things
by nominating a man unsuitable for
the office. At this, as much as any
former time, our offices should be filled
on the principle Of the promotion Of
the fittest, and our confidence in the
Judgment of the people gives us the as
surance that all things considered, the
beat and most available candidate will
be nominated, and when nominated, we
propose to give him our hearty and un-
wavering support. We hope every Re-
publican will act on this principle, re-
gardless of personal preferences and
party cliques. What influence we have
shall be in opposition to the nomina-
ton of any man who will not pledge
himself in advance, to the energetic
support of the Republican candidate
should he himself fail of attaining that
honor.

ExPoNENT,-With reference to the
comparative quality of Ohio cheese and
butter, have an opinion which may be
incorrect, but it is based not only upon
some recent occurrences. but upon an ac-
quaintance with the trade ever since but
ter and cheese were made in Ohio. i
helped milk the first dairy that ever sent
cheese down the Ohio river; and have
had something to do with the business
ever since. At all events have had oc-
casion to be a careful looker-on.
But care not to go beyond the intro
duction of the factory system. Since
then insist that Ohio cheese has been
as good as any other made, and the diff
ference against it in market quotations is
the contrivance of dealers for their ben.
eft. Did not York State manufacturers,
and orators, come here, and tell US how
to make cheese a few years ago, Mr..
Willard among them, and tell US that we
put in too much cream; that cream in
fact was not easily made into cheese al
alls And bave we not taken pairs to
follow their instructions, and the resul,
of their own experience, as well rs oul
owns Are we wilful, or stupid, or def
cient in materials am unwilling to ad
nit it. If actual Ohio cheese is poorer
than other cheese, why does not "Yorl
State cheese" lose its reputation in mar
ket? For the fact is, and always has beer
that large proportion of Ohio cheese il
marked and sold under the highest ant
most fashionable brands of the world.
| And now few words as to our butter
We have as good cows, as good pastur
age, as good milk, and as good cream, a
was even ever produced, and with sucl
cool weather as May and June of thi
year, claim that it is impossible for an,
country to make better butter than i
made lere. Ice houses and sprin,
houses, have hardly been necessary thi
year so far. Our butter is all made
packed, and sold in few days. Th
most of it is marketed to private fami
lies in Cleveland at 1S and 20 cents, an,
yet the market prices have stood all alon,
at 10 and II cents. The grocers an,
hucksters, who generally pick this butte
up. fix up these market reports to bu
with. No better, sweeter, richer, b1tte
ever went upon New York, Philadelphi
tables, than has been sent every day GU
of these townships for the last tw
months. And yet we are told that ou
labor and knowledge and care are of
low grade, and not worth as much a
that of other people and we are told thi
by the buyers who get rich out of US.

ST was Conuuered.'

Beaureguard was one of the idols OF
the South during the war. He is nc
longer SO. The Hills, Lamars and
Blackburns-men unknown as soldiers
have crowded him out of the affections
of the Southern people. Perhaps this
little anecdote will tell the reason why
Some five years ago, Gen. Boauregard
visited Baltimore. and some young bloods
took occasion to honor his arrival by a
serensde at which they made laudatory
speeches in praise of the chieftain, at the
same time triumphantly declaring that
they were not conquered in the conflict
with the North, but merely overcome by
numbers. After listening to the high
flown oratory and cheap bravado, Beau
regard said: "Gentlemen, did any of
you do any fighting during the late war:'
To this there was a negative response.
"Well, gentlemen, did do some fight
ing and was conquered. Good night,
gentlemen"
Beauregard, Longstreet, Lee, Mosby
and Joe Johnston were conquered. That
accounts for their good behavior since
the war. The other fellows-the men
who want to fight now when the fighting
IL all over-are the chaps that were not
conquered.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
1 edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss ofappe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with 4 painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try 1t. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
