Grants Next Trip.

II was announced yesterday in New
York that passage had been secured for
Gen. Grant in the steamer City of Al
exandris, to sail for the West Indies
and Mexico. The steamer is advertised
to sail from New York on tbs 9th OF
December. Mr.. John Alexandra, one
of the owners IF the vessel, said last
evening that the report that Gen. Grant
was soon to start from New York for
Cuba and Mexico was founded on the
fact that his passage had been engaged
for those places by Drexel, Morgan x
Co., the bankers. The latter sent to
the Office Of the Mexican and Havana
Steamship Line on Thursday ,and asked
that staterooms might be reserved for
General Grant, in the steamer City of

A FieDdi fish Negro.

From the Milford Chronicle.
On Saturday last John Wilkinson, a
negro, was brought before Squire Bes-
wick, charged with an attempt at rape
on the daughter of Mr.. l. J. Long, who
resides about four miles west Of Mil
ford. The girl in question is only about
ton years old, and it seems from the
evidence that similar attack was made
upon her by Wilkinson some months
ago. in consequence Of which Wilkin-
son, who was employed by Mr.. Long as
a lsborer, was discharged from his SER
vice and no further notice taken of the
offence. Recently, however, Wilkinson
attempted to repeat the offence when
the girl was on her way to school. She
was accompanied by other children,
who gave 80 alarm to parties living
near, and he desisted from the exeou-
tion of his hellish deed. He was sub.
arrested, and after hearing
was held In 5000 bail for his appear
ance At Court, in default Of which he
was committed IN Jail.

Of Mayor Cavagnari and his suite in a
way that will, for the time being at
least, put all thoughts of further in
surreotion out Of the minds of the A.

hanged and the work will probably be
continued until as many natives have
been sacrificed as there were English.

work, and SO it is, but massacre Of the
English Embassy was no less so. Be-

the Asiatics. She knows from dear ex-

DIPHTHERIA.

DR.. E. NJ. Snow of Providence RI.
in his last Official report asks the at
tention of the people Of that city, and
especially Of parents, to the following
facts -
/. No case of diphtheria occurs
without an adequate cause. This is
selt-evident.
2. The cause of nearly all cases of
the disease exists in the house or pre-
misses, or within a few feet of the
house where the cases occur.
5. The cause of nearly all the cases
that occur, is breathing impure air
from the privy vaults, or sink-drains,
or cesspools, or drinking impure wa
ter.
These observations, his long expert
cnce satisfies him, says DR.. Snow, are
applicable in all cases, whether in the
tenement Of the poor, or the mansions
of the rich and we may add that the
remedy is obvious. Dlsinfect your
privy vaults, sink drains, cesspools,
etc, a1d boil your well water before
drinking it. This last precaution will
give you little trouble, and the water
will soon cool at this season Of the
year without ice.

The People want Proof.

There is no medicine prescribed by
physicians, or sold by druggists, that
carries such evidence of its success
and superior virtue as BoscHEE's
GERMAN SYRUP for severe Coughs,
Colds settled ON the breast, Consump-
ton, or any disease of the Throat and
Lungs. A proof of that fact is that
any person afflicted, can get sample
bottle for 10 cents. and try its supe-
rior effect before buying the regular
size at Is cents. 1t has lately been
introduced in this country from Ger
many, and its wonderful cures are
astonishing everyone that use it. Three

II one department of labor than an

dertook. For a generatoL lac has
been familiar 10 the literary world.
To clear intellect and scholarly at
tainments he added untirIng industry.
The feverish ambition and spirit OF
rivalry that mar the characters of so
many in the walks that he pursued
never terminated in his bosom. The
social and personal vices that have
stained the fame and prematurely de-
stfoyed the lives of so many brilliant
writers were stunned by him as dan
gerous foes. His life was pure, his
aspirations high, his bearings towards
professional brethren generous and

OF her people sincere and tireless. 10

this in life we're enough to entitle the

the temple of fame; but he did not
have to die for appreciation, Every
body recognized the fitness of his Sc
lection as the poet to write the nation
al ode for the American centennial,
and everybody praised it after it APP
peared. When the present admins
tration appointed him to the U. S
mission at Berlin, even the Cameron
ian school of politicians, who know
nothing of literature and despise
"them literary fellows" in politics,
We're obliged to admit that the rresi-
dent could have gone further and Jared
worse. And when the new minister
was about to depart for the post of
honor and duty from which, all un-
dreamt of, he was never to reutrn, the
complimentary testimonial banquet
which was given him by the literary
men of America was one of the most
distinguished marks of respect ever
paid to public official in this coun-
try. In the ripeness of his career,
after life worthy Of imitation, his
spirit has taken flight from the world
which he adorned, and though his
work was complete, it is and will re-
main his noblest monument.
