How Grier Made Garfield.
Chicago Letter to the News.

chicago Letter to the News.
see that Grier, of Luzarne, the
original Garfield man in the
convention. is being lionized
throughout Illinois, and when he
returns by way OF Ohio / suppose
he will be second in importance
to "Old Garfield" himself. How
Grier came to be that ''originalr
Garfield man had better be told
now. He was elected by the Cam
eron men as friend of General
Grant, and did not hesitate to say
here that he personally favored
the ex-President, but the tpeoplen
favored Mr.. Blaine. Now Mr..
Grier wanted to vote for Grant.
disliked Blaine and yet did, not
think 1t advisable to wholly disre-
gard the wishes of his constitu-
ents. Mr.. Garfield was cheefed
every time he entered the conven-
ton. Mr.. Garfield made an elo-
quent plea for M. Sherman Mr..
Garfield showed on every occa-
sion that he was body, soul and
breeches for the Secretary of the
Treasury, and Mr.. Garfield In the
interest of fair play, championed
the contestants of West Virginia
against the report of the commit
tee on rules, so TN make COM
promise between my individual
opinion and the wishes of my con-
stituents, and I'll throw my vote
away on Mr.. Garfield, said Mr..
Grier to himself. The Grant men
didn't object, because it lessoned
the Blaine column one vote. Then
as it proved Mr.. Grier did not
throw his vote, away. Wisconsin
accidentally came to his assistance.
Hale threw up the sponge, and 10!
Mr.. Grier had the honor of first
suggesting the name of Mr.. Gar

Judge Strong, the only Pennsyl-
vanian on the Supreme Bench oc the
United States, has resigned, and Mr..
Hayes with indecent haste appointed
Hon. VIM. Woods, of Montgomery,
Alabama, but formerly of Ohio, as his
successor. It is said that Mr.. Woods
has no proper qualifications for the
high Office, but he is an Ohio man and
doubtless has at some time conferred
personal favorS on Hayes, ..and these
considerations are OF more account, it
seems than the public good.
We hope the senate may promptly
reject the discreditable appointment.

DIPTHEgIA AND SCARLET FEVER.


The prevalence of the two diseases above
named, in any community naturally causes
alarm and anxiety among parents and the qurS-
ton Is frequently asked, what is Il sure pre-
ventativc against these dreaded diseases
Since dtptheria has made such havoc with little
folk in the rural districts the past fall, and has
swept 4 number of family pets into early graves
any simple and well recommended remedy will
be hailed With interest. \ reliable correSpon-
dent Of the Philadelphia Ledger writes rs fol-
lows on The subject
"A year or two ago our housemaid, after 4
days i!noss-fcycr, throat obstruction, ctc.-
went 10 bed about noon, thoroughly sick. Our
doctor in the afternoon decided that she was
suffering frCm dipthera. Toward evening my
youngest child, about three years old, who had
been ailing somewhat all day, manifested the
same symptoms. and also became quite sick.
On reaching home a. night nj once placed in
tumbcr enough black oxide of magnencSe 10
cover the bottom TO the depth OF half an inch,
and added sufficient common mUriattc acid 20
form thin paste. Stirring this mixture with
glass rod every few minutes, and holding the
tumh!cr 0t arms length TO avoid direct inhala-

View Year---tO all our Friends
and Patrons, to the COmmu-
ntty in General and to the
World at large.

GEx. GRANT is fast becoming an
elephant on the hands Of his friends,
which means that they are sorely per-
nlexed what 10 do with him. He was
sent abroad on a trip around the world
to train him for a third term Of the
Presidency. The scheme failed utter
lT and always will fail. Next our New
York snobs try to raise pension fund
OF half a million for the greatest soldier
Of the a1s, bnt succeed to rake and
scrape together only about S5O,O)O IN
subscriptions. Again did his friends
throw out feeIers as to how the Repu0-
licans Of Pennsy lyania would like to be
re,resented in the Z. S. Senate, by
the great smoker; but our radical
friends know very well that even they
have at least fYe hundred men II the
state more fit for Senator than Grant.
They say "No, thankee," and that plan
is dropped. Last Of al comes poor
Hayes in his recent annual message
and recommends that a ne1C Office
Captain General-ba created for
Grants especial benefit. Hayes thinks
that such an arrangement with suit
able provisions realating to compensa-
ton. retirement and other details
would be warmly approved by the
country. Herein he exhibits an lg-
noranca of the sentiments Of the peo-
pla that is really deplorable in Pres
idant. The country has more than
enough of Grant in any possible shape.
