IL is very easy to ridicule the Grant
"boom;" it is still easier to under
estimate it. Gen. Grant has some
elements of strength that no one else in
the United States possesses. He is
probably the second choice of several of
the most notable candidates, Senator
Conkling, Senator Blaine, and possibly
Secretary Sherman his three years alb
sence has effaced from public memory
the errors of his administration, while
Its good fruits remain uneffaced and in
efaceable; his public receptions abroad
have considerably added to his popular
ity at home, for it is a weakness of the
American people, which they have not
yet outgrown, to over-estimate foreign
judgments and underestimate their
own; we had even to send Mr.. Moody
abroad before we would crowd to hear
him ourselves; his past history renders
him above all other men the representa-
tive of Nationality, and the election of
no other man would be so decisive
notice to the South that the North in
tends to preserve at every hazard that
authority of the central government
which it fought through four years to
maintain; at the same time there is no
Northern man whose election would be
more readily acquisced in by the South /;
and, finally, on certain great, though at
this juncture measurably subordinate
issues Gen. Grant has been uniformly in
sympathy with the great body of the
American people; the honest payment of
all debts, individual, State, National ;
the maintenance in a high degree Of
efficiency of the public school system
the governmental control, by State OF
Nation. or both of the great railroad
corporations; justice and equal rights to
all foreign races, whether Irish, German
African or Chinese the civil rights anc
the education of the Indians. and tn,
protection of the rights of property from
the lawlessness of communism. Tn,
latest indication of unexpected strength
is in the South f; there are reported from
various sources indications that h,
would be the most acceptable Northern
Republican to Southern Democrats. anC
might even command a considerable
white vote. The talk about "non
partisan candidate" is of course non
party candidate; for the President o
the United States must be elected by
party and represent Its principles; bu
it is doubtful whether any strong Re
publican candidate could be found VIII

ments in the Democratic party. Near

Mr.. Vanderbilt, the Railroad Cresus,
had very narrow escape the other
night from sudden plunge into the

millions behind him. He is as fond of
fast railroad travel as he is of fast trot-

lightning cars is often for short distances
fully one hundred miles and hour. A
few inches more might have made a
wonderful difference in financial circles
and set Wall street crazier than usual.
Corporal punishment has been abolish

The Republican party makes no cru
SADIE against the South. 1t asks for and
of the South only what it asks for the
North. Free opinions, free speech, free
and honest voting, free travel, complete
freedom under the law-these are con-
coded and established in the North, and
these it seeks in the South. No pro-
scription on account of political convic-
tons. no ostracism because of past
differences-this is the rule of one Sec

the rule Of all. Our principle simply is
that it shall be as safe to be Republic

The Democrats of the South want no

daunted courage when it witnessed 1t in
those who were their antagonists. When
it threw its solid vote for Samuel j.
Tilden it believed him to be a man.
When Tilden shrunk from the response
bility which an extraordinary occasion
placed upon him, it condemned him as
an arrant poltroon and will have no
more of him. We want a man mental
and physical all the way through. Jelly
fishes are useful in their way, but it
takes brain, bone and muscle to make
organic matter of genuine value and
force in the animal world. Tilden is a
jelly-fish. His backbone has deliquesced
and he ought to be allowed to float
quietly away into obscurity.- Virgsntaa.

WONDERS In ICE.

Senior CASTELAR,, in one Of his famous
orations before the Cortes on the subject
of religious liberty, had occasion to de-
scribe some scene of wonderful natural
grandeur. He did not choose the glory
of tropical mountain scenery, the luxu-
rance of limltless prairie or the bril-
liancy of the ocean. But he carried his
hearers to the twilight of an Arctic sea,
with its castles and spires aud cities of
ice under the play of Northern Lights.
Northern voyagers all unite in pronounc-
ing the display of form and the over
powering aecumulations of ice to be
grand beyond all conception. DR.. Kane
says that the most remarkable place In
the world for the genesis of icebergs is
an inlet little north of Disco island, On
the west coast of Greenland. Immense
glaciers, formed on the mountains of the
interior, gradually slide to the sea, and
breaking over rocky shore, fall with
great violence into the water, carrying
along rocks and earth and volcanic de-
bris to be deposited in warmer latti-
| tudes.
The track of these icebergs, which as
they float southwark in the open seas
seem more like many-masted ships of
silver as the sun plays upon them, is
| from Greenland to the coast of Labrador,
past Newfoundland to the Great Bank,
where they are usually killed by che
| I;n.lnaoe nf thn nd thn Gnlf StraAm
The ice has been seen even as far east al
the Azores. They sensibly cool the
waters of the Gulf Stream for fifty miles
around. and when driven into Hudson
Bay cause intense cold over the northern
portion of the continent. Immense as
these ice spires are, it should be remem-
bered that nine times as much as their
weight in the air is submerged in the
water; so that turrets 800 feet high
must have an equivalent floating support
of 1900 feet beneath them.
In 1917 several thousand miles of ict
to the north of Iceland and on the cas-
coast of Greenland broke up-much O
it probably not having been moved fo
400 years-and foated over the Nortl
Atlantic. The opinion was then enter
tanned that the climate had RADICAL,
, changed, and the expedition of Capt
, Ross in search of the Northwest passag,
was at once undertaken. Some of thi
) enormous expanse of ice was carrie,
; within 500 miles of Ireland. The prob
, ability Of similar disruption seem
never to be thought of by mariners, an
t when an occasional iceberg is run int
by an ocean steamer, they speak a
e though the iceberg had lost its reckon
n ing, and was the only one to blame. l
f navigation, however, icebergs alway
r have the right of way.
e The investigation into the causes ,
: icebergs has led to very curious theor
i of glaciers in connection with the pre-
q ent shape of the earth's crust. In oil
b temperate zones unmistakable marks
Y foreign glaciers have been found, an
# Prof Agassiz and others hold that on
is upon a time the Northern States of Il
It Union were covered several miles DEF
a with ice, which, following the law
y glaciers, ground off the ridges of mou
e tains and deposited the debris along Il
y valleys. This theory is too wonderf
e to be taken with no grains of dout
1T and many scientific men have rio
+ culed it.

THE CORN AND WHEAT CRoP.-The
latest returns from the corn crop show
an increase of two hundred million
bushels over last year. When we con-
slider that our crop last year was very
large one, this is an extraordinary in
crease. The increase in the wheat crop
is twenty million bushels more than
last year, when our surplus of wheat
was also very large. 1t is evident that
we can supply Europe with all the
wheat and corn that is wanted.

Special Notice.

We recommend the following article
TO the consideration of our business
men -
One method of advertising is the
handful system, by which the hotels
are daily inundated. During the bust
ness season one boy after. another will
20 the rounds, and in this way an at
tempt is made to obtain trade. OF
these, however, the greater part is
wasted, since the waiter generally
picks them up and throws them into
the street, and the next day fresh
inundation takes place.. Experience
has clearly demonstrated that the
most eficioent method of advertising
is found in the jud; ,ious use of news
paper columns. The ground upon
which newspaper advertising is based
is human confidence, since we cannot
avoid believing that which we con-
ltantly read. This confidence is
sometimes abused, but still it is evil
dent that good advertisement will, if
sufficiently repeated, carry popular
opinion, Men who advertise with the
greatest persistency eventually reach
success. There is military principle
involved in. this method, since the al
ticle advertised should be presented to
the public by repeated assaults. The
correct view, which experience brings
to each man, that advertising should
be included in the general estimate of
expenses, az regularly IS store rent,
clerk hire and insurance. It is often
said that good stand at high rent
is better than poor one rent free.
Advertising brings man before the
public in way that makes any stand
good. The best stand you can have is
20 be in the Holiday Journal.

Tho Microscope in the Witness-Box.,

AS the New York Tribune says, the
scientific aspects of The evidence
against the Rev. Mr.. Hayden, of Ma
olson, Conn.,, for the murder Of Mary.
Stannard, are truly remarkable; in.
deed the microscopic exhibition of ar
senic and the comparison of arsenical
crystals show that the law has
powerful auxiliary in chemistry. After
the arrest Of Mr.. Hayden, and the
disinterment of the remaips of the
dead girl for examination, it was
claimed that all of the arsenic which
Hayden had bought was still in box
in the barn. There box was found
containing full ounce. 1t was shown
that the arsenic found in Mary Stan
nard'se stomach could notshave been
taken from this box, At this point
recourse by the prosecution was had
to Prof. Dana, who visited England,
at udied the manufacture OF arsenic,
and then, by the use of his microscope
on the crystals, demonstrai ed that tho
arsenic from the girls stomach was en-
tirely different lot from that hidden
in the barn, and that it was identical
with tire arsenic sold by Tyler, at the
time when Hayden is known to have
bought his ounce. The conclusion
sought to be established is that part
of the arsenic bought by Hayden was
used to poison the girl, and that the
rest was flung away. and that the barn
arsenic was bought elsewhere after
ward merely as blind. TIE crystals
of the stomach arsenic are three or
four times. as large as those of the
barn arsenic, but none of them are
large enough to be visible without the
microscope. Hereafter criminals will
do we!l.to recognize in science one Of
the agents of possible detection.
