Tho Grant Boom,

General Grants friends, who OK
pcctcd to give him q grand ovation in
San Francisco this summer, have be-.
come alarmed at the prospect of hay
ing him tackled OH to the tail of a huge
hippodrome, travelling at excursion
rates, and have announced that the
date of his return is very uncertain.
MIR. Borie. one of the great unknowns
whom Grant placed in his first cabi-
net, and who, although scvcnty-four
years Of age, has travelled twcnty-six
thousand miles in five months along
with Grant, and yet mover had an op-
portunity, he says, Of mentioning the
third term once, has hicd him back to
Philadelphia to stop the boom. lie
also is responsible for the assertion
that Grant would rather not have the
Presidency again; but then, you know,
if it was spontaneously &c. offer
cd to him, he might bc prevailed upon
to accept. 1t is the business of the
''boomcrs" now to work up this
"spontancous uprising of the loyal
people Of the North" But Sherman
is fixing the Southern Radical ma
chimes for a spontaneous Sherman
boom, and this is causing great dis
quictudc among the third tcrmers.
Between the threatened travelling hip
podromc across the continent, and the
Shermanizing of the Bread and Butter
Brigade, George Washington Childs,
Borie, Zach Chandler and Conlling
will have their hands full in coaching
that spontaneous boom.

The Duty on Quinine.

For many years one or two firms
in Philadelphia enjoyed monopoly
on quinine, in consequence of a duty
OF twenty per cent. on the imported
article. Repeated efforts to repeal the
duty failed, until on the last day of
the session Congressman Mckenzie, of
Kentucky, prepared q bill providing
that thereafter the importation of
sulphate Of quinine or salts of quininc
Shall be free Of CUSTOMS" and rushed
1t through before the monopolists
could say word or raise a
finger in opposition. The feat
has been generally extolled as a
great victory; but the Augusta
Chronicle and Constftutionalist says
that there Is cat in the mcaltub somc-
where which will defeat tho object in
tended. We hope our contemporary
will be more explicit, in pointing out
the &c feet in the law, as IL is all right
upon its face. A seeming paradox is
tho circumstance that qninine just now
brings q higher price than 1t did be.
fore the abolition Of the duty. This
iscxplained by the circumstance tia,
tho American firms arc withholding
their wares, while tho foreign supply
Is not yet sufficient to meet the dc.

cd-looking little eyes arc enough to
strike terror into any one who secs
them for the first time. a story is
told in Leosburg of woman's adven-
turc up the mountain. She went out
one day to pick huclllcbcrries, and, be-
tore she was aware Of it, was sur
rounded by rattlesnakcs. She had
wandered near u den Of them and
there was no backing out. 1t was to
Kill or be killed, and she preferred the
former. Grasping thick stick in her
hand she awaited action Had the
snakes attacked her several at a time
nothing could have saved her, but,
fortunately for her, they began the
onslaught singly. A snake would
hardly coil himself up for q spring
when she would knock him over. One
after another they fell dead, until thcv
laid in swaths all around her. AS
fast as possible she backed out from
her unpleasant situation, but not until
the last snake Of tho den was killed
was She safe. She counted the dead
and they numbered 480. That lady

mountains any more. when the

amount OF nerve is necessary to beard
real live, hungry rattlesnakcs in their

BR1BED BY a KIss.-A temperance
lecturer who has been at work in the
towns up the Hudson has been giving
a reporter q page. from his early ex-
pcricnce in Michigan. Previous to his
arrival in small town where he in
tended to do some work, the BOYS had
agreed among themselves to 60 to the
meeting, but not to sign the pledge.
lie appealed in vain for recruits in the
temperance. Not man would move.
at this stage of the proceedings the
belle of the town sprang to her feet
and cried out: "Boys, this Is really
too bad. Won't you sign the plcdge?''
Not q soul moved from his seat.
Again the fair belle appealed to the
mems better nature, but it was of no
avail: they had promised they
wouldn't sign. Finally the lady said /:
"Boys, Pll kiss the first man who
signs the pledge" At this juncturc
up .jumpe! q tall backwoodsman and
drawingly exclaimed: "Siss, Pm yer
hucklcberry. Whar's yer pledge? ?''
The brave girl kissed the fellow, and
the cheering which followed made the
building rattle. This incident broke
the ice, and before the reformer had
left the town nearly every one had
donncd the ribbon.

Mr.. HENRY WA rTERsoN, Of the
Cou73e"-Jou,mal, has Of late been
pouring hot shot into Conkling, accus-
ing him, among other things, of treat
ing his wife 80 badly that she is OH the
point Of seeking divorce. A Wash
ington correspondent wrote to Phila-
delphia paper that the Cou71er-Joua'-
maPs attacks are caused by the fact
that Conkiing refused to associate
with Watterson, and declined repeat
cd invitations to dinner while the lat
ter was member Of Congress. A
demand for tho author Of this explana-
ton evoked promise from tho cor
respondent to divulge tho name pro-
Vidcd Wattcrson made an affidavit
that the charge was false. TO this
Watterson replied that the author of
the statements vas scoundrcl, adding
that he left the correspondent and
Senator Conklimg to determine to
which of them his cpithct applied.
The correspondent repeats tho
charge, and concludes: "From the
time when you were first brought to
tho notice of the public by your antics
in the rear of the rebel army as pow
der monkey, Your reputation has been
such that you should not be surprised
that your society is not considered
desirable by gentlemen" Watterson
says that Conkling is the author Of the
report which he pronounccs slandcr,
and promises to tear that gentleman to
pieces in his paper. We may there

THE Lf TIE JILSON Il. JOHNSON.

New York Worlds Obituary Editorlal.)
rev men.in the South were better
known than Colonel Johnson, and few
men had more friends, for he was q
genial and kind man who, like the
late Hiram Cranston, of N lew York,
was never happier than when he could
90 solne ono Il service, unless perhaps
when nc could pcrpctuate a good joke
Before the war he was planter in
Arkansas, though by birth hc was q
lAentuckian, q member Of that we'll
known family to which Vice-Presidcnt
Richard M. johnson, the SLAYER OF
Tccumsch, belonged. During the war
he served as Colonel in the Confcd-
crate army and afterwards removed
TO Louisville, where he kept the Calf
House in ali old-tashioned way, which,
though very pleasant to all. his guests,
was PROBABLY not very profitable to
himself. During his residence in
Louisville he took All active part in
politics, though never himself a candi-
date, and it was he who put it into
the head of Dr.. Blackburn, by means
of a practical joke, to become q candi-
date for governor. He was q busy
locker on at the st. Louis convention
IN 1876, and when Mr.. Watterson was
elected chairman General VIM. Pres
ton says that Colonel Johnson offered
to write Mr.. Wattcrson's speech for
him. When Colonel johnson had
finished he handed his manuscript to
Mr.. Watterson-so goes ! General
Preston's story-and Mr.. Watterson,
after reading several lines, said:
"Jils, 'W-i-c-h' does not spell
which,"
Why don't it2" asked the Colonel.
"Because it DOESN'T" replied Mr..
Watterson.
"Wcll, all I have to say" said the
Colonel, "is that my Uncle Dick
johnson always spelled it that way,
and it made him Vice-P President Of the
United States, and if you are going to
be so Internally particular you can
write your speech for YOURSELF" and
with that he tore up the speech and
left the brilliant journalist to struggle
alone through tho difficult task of
making capital for Mr.. Tildcn without
seeming to do so.
