GRANTS DEFAMERS,

WHILE the wisest and greatest men
Of the old world are vieing with each
other to do honor to General Grant,
there Is q class ofmalcontents and busy
bodies at home who have united their
voices to Islander and abuse him. For
months the independent press t?) and
the democratic organs have had no.
thing but sneersi for General Grant,
and in all manner Of ways have sought
to connect his name with corruption
while in ofice.a The charges 7 al
ways vague, without specification, and,
As the authors well know, without a
particle of truth; yet they serve the pur-
pose of these character defamers well.
Their object is not to state facts any
more than the ordinary gossips and
slanderers. 1t is just what they do not
want. Two OF three newspapers Of
this character, when pinned down to
facts, mutter "Belknap," and ''Shep-
herd" and then look wise. General
Belknap's case is too well known to
deceive any one. lie was a victim to
woman's ambition, and possibly his
own avarice; but that General Grant
vas in the least implicated by his fall
no man cognizant of the facts will af-
firm. The ease of General Babcock is
different. He was tried by a jury,
composed largely Of men who were his
political enemies, and n verdict of ac-
quittal was rendered. The public has
not been made aware of new and i'm.
portant testimony in the case, nor ia
General Babcock a convicted felon.
Mr.. Shepherd was accused of mis-
management of the affairs Of the Dis
trict of Columbia. This whole manage
ment, or Encouragement, underwent a
searching investigation by,a committee
of which Senator Thurman was a
member, and the report of that com
mittee exonerated MI. Shepherd in
every particular which in amy manner
involved his integrity. While the com
mitte made charges of extravagani
expenditure, yet the cityof Washington,
and not Mr.. Shepherd, reaped all the
benefits. We specify these three in
stances, because they are continually
referred to in slurring General Grant.
The criticism has neither been honest
or just, and the American people will
convince the world Of their low estl-
mate of the charges whenever the oc-
casion offers. Chicago Inter Ocsda.

THE state Of Georgia owes the gov.
eminent about 5000, 600 under the as
sessment for a direct tax on lands i'm
posed by the federal authorities in
1S04-65. The assessment was 3 mills
on the dollar, and is the only land tax
ever levied under the United States
law. The recent congress appropriat-
ed ST. 900 to Georgia for the amount
advanced in suppressing and renewing
the Cherokees in 1885, and the treasury
officials refuse to pay IL, but insist upon
placing the amount as credit upon
Georgia's Indebtedness. The question
will eventually have to be decided by
Attorney Gen, Devens.

THE United States treasury contains

Secretary Sherman objects to the

creditors who are unwilling to receive
them, and just now there seems no

THE latest reports from Alaska are
alarming. The Indians are preparing
for war. The British man Of war
Osprey, and the U. s. revenue cutter
Wolcott have reached Alaska. The
chiefs received the officers of the Osprey
cordially but informed the commander
that they could capture the Wolcott
whenever they chose. The latter vessel
has gone to intercepta fiotilla of hostile
canoes on their way to destroy the town
Of Sitka. The Wolcott carries the mar

about half mile from DR.. Hunston's res

wounded hand. When it came to be
question of Importance, Hunston refused
to say how he injured his hand. It was
clear however, that on opening the sash
from which he had probably removed the
catch month before when nediating the
crime-he placed his right hand on the
sill. The sash fell, and hence injured the
hand. In spite of his frightful wound,
however, he went on with the bloody

Beneath my window are some garden walks
Where now the autumnal frosts the FOLIAGE

And hard y dahlias blacken on their stalks
But lnany-leaved and fresh and fragrant, blews
One solitary fower--a perfect Rose.

There's not u spot of color or of sheen
In the dull landscape save that lonely Rose

Summer Care of Dairy Cows.

The practise is too common among far
mcrs to allow their cows to run out day
and night, however cold aud stormy the
weather may be, from the day they are
turned out in the spring until the first
snow. IN the fall, and sometimes even
later. Cows are subject to take cold from
exposure to inclement weather, fully as
much as men are, and these colds often

Cause and effect are, as general rule, so
far separated from each other by inter-

Yet of all the diseases or ailments to
which the dairy COW is subjected, garget

is the most difficult to cure (murrain ex.
cepted,) and the most difficult to trace to
its origin. Among the prolific causes Of
garget, the following may be named:
First. Fast driving when the cows bag
is full OF milk, causing internal injuries
to the udder.
Second. External injuries to the bag.
such as thumps and bruises with sticks
and stones
Third. Improper management in dry
ing the COWS off at the close of the milk
ing season.
Fourth Overlooking with grain.
Fifth. Changing the COW too sudden
" from dry food to succulent or milk
producing food and not giving the milk
producing and milk secreting organs
time to conform to the change Of food. E
Last, bnt not least, constant source
from which garget arises is the cruel ex-
posure of the cows to cold storms of
RAIN or snow. A deep mixer (and poor
mixers are not often troubled with gar

always very liable to attacks of garget

are often slight at first, but each succced-

should that threat be put into exc

SO constantly annoy find themselves
behind the bars for disturbing pub

you would find many of them in
Church along side Of their parents
or with their parents returning from
Church.
For few of the non-ehurch going
people allow their children to roam
at large ON Sunday evening to the
annoyance of others, congregating
in the Halls of Churches and on
the door steps staring with more
idiocy than intelligence on those
that pass out. But most people
say my boys are good, (but sly).
Yes then keep them good by keep

smokes his cigar and squirts his to-

door steps Of any Church. Parents
think Of i'll Take your children with
you TO Church and keek them with
you. Don't let them remain in the
rear. Should you not go your
selves, take some trouble 10 find
out if they have been there, and if
this course is pursued there will be
no reason for such threats as heard
last Sunday evening.
