A report is put in circulation upon the
authority of a travelling companion of
General Grant, that the General says ne
will not be 3 candidate for the Presidency
under any ciFcumstanoeS-that he does not
want to re-enter public life. This is con-
frmed by the assertion Of one of the ex-
Presidents most intimate Washington
friends and correspondence Is few days ago,
that the General had never in his letters
to him indicated the slightest desire to re-
turn to political life, and that he had the
best reason to believe that General Grant
does not desire another term of the Presi-
dency. %
To the substance Of the above, the Cleve-
land Leader adds the following, which
seems to be quite natural and not at all
improbable as to the course Of the ex-
President. It will no doubt be in accord
anoe with the wishes of numerous class
Of RepubliOans-friends and admirers Of
the ex-Presldent.
1t is well known that he laid down his
public burthens gladly at the end of his
second Presidential term and expressed the
intention never to re-enter public life.
Since then he has had magnificent reeep-
tionin Europe, and probably feels very little
like returning to be the target Of abuse
and misrepresentation for four years more.
Still, if the Republican party unites in
calling him to the front as it did in 1868
and 1879, 1t is difficult to see how be can
decline.

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE from the northwest
struck the town of Collinsville, Ill, about
three o'clock on Sunday afternoon last, and
taking a zigzag course with the general di-
rection almost due east, tore through the
place, demolishing ten buildings, running
about thirty others, and daminging more
or less some seventy-fve residences and
business houses. Nearly everybody was in
doors when the cyclone struck. But, not
withstanding, ten houses were leyeled with
the ground, only one person was killed.
A little girl and one or two others were
badly injured. The storm lasted but two
or three minutes but was frightfully severe.
After it passed, people rushed out Of their
houses in all directions looking to see who
were killed or hurt.

Catholic Colonization in America

During the past two or three years the
Catholics Of this country have been busy
with important colonization schemes.
These schemes have met with such success
as to gain general favor and greatly aug
ment the movement. The migration has
been principally from New England and
Philadelphia, and to Minnesota and Yir-
ginia. One of the objects ofthese cOloniza-
tion schemes is to relieve the large cities Of
some of their Overburdened population, and
give poor Catholics an opportunity to OBJ
tain comfortable homes for themselves in
agricultural districts, and at the same time
organize them into Catholic communities,
instead Of scattering them in places where
Protestant influence, predominates. TIE
largest migration has been to Minnesota,
where there are four Catholic colonies, the
oldest Of which was begun in 1876.
The cOlored exodus from the Cotton
States to the West continues and is attract
ing general attention in all parts Of the
country. Various causes have been given
for this extraordinary movement. The
best and true reason, however, that has vet
been given, is that the life of the freedman
has been so intolerahle by political and So
eial oppression, that he looks to other re-
Eions, where he may be protected in his
life, his property and his political privi-
leges. They are poor and miserably des-
titute, and unless something is done by
the noble hearts of the North, who are al
ways ready TO respond to the calls of char
ity, great suffering must ensue. Last year
the North sent millions Of dollars to the
South, to aid the yellow fever sufferers.
Another call equally as strong now comes
from the same region. In a number of
places, meetings have already been held
to raise aid for these poor immigrants, and
the response has been generous. Would

A Warming to Girls Who Chew Gum.
ST Louis News


Late last Saturday evening an Incl
dent occurred on Portland avenue that
may serve as warming to hundreds OF
young persons who have entered upon
a career of wax-chewing. 4 girl named
Ida Smith had been chewer for near
ly a year. She is about II years old,
rather bright and intelligent, and
chewed about the same quantity OF the
material that was used by neighboring
girls along the avenue. On Saturday
evening She took her wax from her
mouth, stuck it under the edge of the
mantel until she could 60 to the kitchen
and get swallow of water, and on her
return her parents were Mortified to see
her jaws moving rapidly. She was told
to throw the wax from her mouth, and,
on investigation, it was found that she
was not chewing anything; still her
jaws kept moving at a rapid rate. The
parents sent for physician, who came
and attempted to hold ejaw in proper
position, belle wing it to be only tenn
porary, but he could not stop the regu-
lar movement. The child grew nervous,
and the exciteme nt only increased the
action of her jaws. The physician put
a tight bandage over her face, and this
partially relieved the movement, but
then the tWitchings of the muscles ex-
tended all over the face. AS last re
sort moderate dose of morphine was
administered, and the little girl kept up
incoherent mutterings, accompanied by
a general disturbance of the muscles Of
the upper portion ofthe body during the
early portion Of the night. and toward
morning the little sufferer was restored
to her normal condition The physi-
cial says he never heard of such a case
before, and thinks it was brought about
by spasmodic action Of the muscles of
the face, caused by overaction. The
little girl, after enduring a night of suf-
fering, is now restored, but nothing in
the world could induce her to again
chew wax.

The Exodus and St. Lou1s.

ST.. LOUIS, July 2O.-Several weeks ago
the president Of the sanitary commission,
James p. Yeotman, undertook the temporary
relief of the negro refugees arriving here
from the South. The old eagle foundry near
the landing was fitted up with hunks and
cooking facilities, and those who came from
below found haven until such time as they
could get away to Kansas or find homes in
and about st Louis. Last evening this
refuge was closed. There were about hun.
bred.
Refugees still stopping there and moved
their baggage to the levee and camped for
the night. To-day these and hundred more
who came up on City of Alton, left on the
Keeney for Kansas. Later the Grand Toeuer
arrived with a party from Bolivia, Miss.
There was no place provided for them, and
they are camping on the wharf. Mr.. Yeat-
man. says the closing of the refuge was neces-
STATED by failing funds. He undertook the
work thinking that the exodus would be of
short duration, and that those who did
come could be relieved at a
comparatively small expense. It was purely a
work of philanthropy with him. Instead of
falling off the exodus continues as strongly
as ever, and there is no prospect of its stop
ping. He has expended over six thousand
dollars in simply giving temporary relief. He
has no means at hand to continue the work
and has appealed to the city authorities in
vain. He says an effort will be made to in
form the negroes in the South who may be
contemplating emigration that they must
not expect any help at ST. Louis.
