Gran: ApPsreGtly the Coming
Man.

The Republican State Convention
have now all been held, and accordin
to the calculation of the friends Of Ger
eral Grant, lie comes within two vote
of having majority CT the first balIc
at the National Convention. Colorado
the last State that held Convention
though she had but six votes to oftr
laid them at the feet Of the con4u8fip
General. The New York "Times'
tabulation Of the results On Mopday
last showed, Including The solid vote.
Of New York, Pennsylvania and Hi
NOS, that Grant had 1854 votes already
pledged. Tie Chimes" says that 9
much larger number could have beer
: claimed by accepting as Grant votes
some about which there are reasons
for doubt. So Ecrupulously were al
= speculative ellen ents eliminated fron
the table that two of the delegates 0
the Texas deleG Cation were deducted
though it was pledged to vote as 9
unit, and seven-eighths of its members
are in favor of General Grant. 1t is
conceded that Grant will have at least
seven votes from Louisiana, which with
Colorsdo's six runs up the number to
377. Only two more are needed to
nominate him. It must be admitted
however that there Is some danger OF
q revolt in the delegates from New York
and Pennsylvania, but it is probable
that this detection, if any occurs, will
be fully If not more than made up
from the doubtful contingent Of min
structei delegates from other States.
OF course it will be absurd to assume
that there will be any such close vote
in the actual balIotipgs. II General
Grant should come within two or even
n half dozen Of votes on the first bal
! It, there would Immediately rush to
his support more than the number
needed 10 nominate him Of delegates
who will be anxious to place themselves
on the winning side, and onsequently
there is q fair probability that his nom
ination may be assured on the first
ballet. We are inclined to place con-
siderable reliance in the predio icns of
the "Times." We have wstcl ed it for
years and seldom has it disappoin' ed
itself or the people. Especially do We

CONGRESSMAN SPRINGER Is very much
troubled about the third term question
and keeps an anti third term resolution
in his pocket which he from time 10
time threatens to fire of. II Mr.. Spring.
er thought he could only head of Gen.
eral Grants nonip aticn no doubt the
hall of the House of Representative
would soon rever terate from floor to
dome with the noise of his pcp-gun.
Mr.. Springer is generally a discreet nan
and if he is as sensible as he is dis
erect he will reserve his fire, for such
q resolution now would be entirely
meaningless. 1t is too late in the day
at this juncture and at the best would
call forth only party vote in the
House which would only tend more to
help than to retard General Grants
nomination at Chicago next week. The
third term is a question which belongs
exclusively to ths people and Congress
has no occasion at all TO trouble itself
about it. If the Republican Convention
at Chicago next week nominates Gener.
al Grant as it is reasonably sure to do
now if indications mean anything, he
will be elected by the people ana no
will take his seat TOO, no matter how
many an.i-third term resolutions MIR.
Springer may propose in Congress.

UnwIse Republicans.

IL is very unWlse l0r hepubncRns 70
make up their minds and express their
| determination so stfongly beforehand
in reference to their intention TO oppose
General Grant if he should be nomi
mated al Chicago. Thus we find that
the National Republican League has
appointed delegates to attend the
Chicago Convention next week not only
to oppose his nomination but declaring
that if he is nominated that under nc
circumstances will they support him.
OF course such declarations beforehand
win not entitle the delegates to any
voice in the Convention but it must at
the same time entirely destroy their
influence. This Is carrying their cp-
position little 700 far. Every Reput-
licsn has right 10 have decided views
a. TO his choice of candidates for the
Presidency but wheH the nomination Ia
once made tLs.s should be an end to
all opposition. There is an old familiar
proverb which bids US choose the least
o! two evils and it is possible that the
members Of the Republican League
may find themselves compelled to elect
between the two alternatives OF either
supporting General Grant or helping
the Democrats to seat their man
Nhether he is elected or not. When
he,purpoaes Of the Democracy are SO
plainly outlined az they are low by
their actions in Congress, this is no
time for higsling and refusing to
work because the candidate may not
have be N chosen to suit the ideas OF
every individual member Of the Repub-
lican party.
The first duty Of Republicans is to
resolve to be selid after the nomina-
tion is made. The primary meetings
are the places where th. fullest license
should be INDUCED, and no matter it
State or even National Conventions
should be accompanied with an un-
usual amount Of political thunder and
lightning, the political atmosphere will
be the clearer and purer afterwards.
The black thunder cloud makes its ap-
pesrance on dull, languid, sultry at-
sernoon, andssoon the forked lightnings
dash athwart the sky and peal follows
peal of the most terrific thunder. All
nature star ds hushed and awed into
silence until the storm is over. Soon
the bow, harbinger of peace, promise Of
the future, appears archipg the earth
Ind spanning the sky, vsgetated nature
looks up smtling and animated; the
'un melts into golden lovelineas, che
birds sing Sweetsr and everything puts {
m a more cheerful garb. n
This is but metaphor Of what a po-
itical storm should bring forth. Re- q
)ublicans should harmonic after the
,rimaries and the various conventions 9
ire ever and whoever is the nominee !
or President or any other Office should !
'eceive the united and hearty support
# the whole party. Let the political I
ightnings fash and the political tEun-
Iers roll at Chicago, hut afterwards let =
he bow Of promise bring that peace end y
harmony to the party that will irarre 9

ago Convention. IL

CrOSsdAIe's Victory.

VI. T. CrOasdale has gained a suit
be fore the court at New Castle, the jury
having awarded him sos. .26 in his suit
against DR.. J. R. Tantum, with which
to plaster over his wounded dignity
and honor. The amount allowed by the
verdict is very small indeed, consider.
ing the fact that DR.. Tantum had pre-
viously acknowledged himself to be the
author of the document in question,
which the Chief Justics frankly decided
to be libelou5. Had DR.. Tantum put
in the plea of justification for what he
had done, it ia doubtful whether apy
jury in tie State would have brougl {
in verdict against him, even if they
should have been compelled to remain
in for week with the thermometer
bobbing up and down between IS and
100 degrees. A great many people won
der why a jury shon!d have cleared
Mr.. Bright and convicted Tantum, but
the reason is very plain. Mr. Bright
neither wrote or signed the document
purporting to be libel, but DR.. Tan.
tum did not deny both writing and
signing the document. This, however,
puts an end to all the suits of Mr.,
Croasdale against the officers of the

CUSTER was the name Of a New
foundland dog that belonged to New
Jersey girl. ave trained him to hold
the halter in his mouth and lead the
horses away,n she said. "He could
carry two eggs in his huge mouth, and
never break one. He could turn
knob as well as any one, and on enter
ing a room would always turn around
and put his paw on the door to close it.
If this failed he would jump upon the
door, taking care not to scratch with
his nails. If any one sat down in the
house without doffing his hat Custer
would steal stealthily up behind him
and pull it off, then dropping it on the
floor at the side of his chair would walk
quietly away and lie down, as one who
had performed a duty. We would
wrap few pennies in paper and send
him with it in his mouth to store for
candy, of which he was very fond.
After delivering it to us he would stand
expectantly by, wagging his tail and
waiting for the sweet morsel he knew
he was sure to get. He was fond Of
milk, too, but would carry it faithfully
to our pet lamb; and though he would
glance lovingly into the pail occasion
ally, he was never known to betray our
trust or steal one sip of the coveted
beverage"

The SunasWer.

WE have lately met with a paragraph
in several of our exchanges, recon-
mending the planting of a sunhower
seed in the middle of each hill OF pole
beans, SO that the stalk Of the sunfloWer,
growing faster than the beans and
always keeping a little ahead, would
serve Instead of a poke, saving to the
grower considerable labor and expense.
How this would work in practice we
can not say, but we do know that for
many uses the sunfower is a very valu-
able plant to raise. 1t grows very
rapidly and when thickly planted around
sink drains, privies and other unsightly
and offensive places, it not only serves
as a screen, but it also is said to have
the property of absorbing malarious
exhalations and purifying the atmos-
phere. The seeds are much relished by
the poultry, and, if not fed too hberally,
are very wholesome. A correspondent
of the Country Gentleman recommends
the seeds as a cure for the heavcs in
horses, and says: A gentleman told me
that there is nothing equal to sunfower
seeds for that purpose. He had one
bushel of the seeds ground with two
DuhuolS VI OttS, anu gave uOlsO GWO
quarts of the mixed meal, wet in water,
three times a day. He took the time
when the horse was not used at hard
work. In two weeks not a sign of the
heaves could be observed, and the horse
looked as sleek and bright as if his hair
had been oiled. He had cured two
horses of his own of this distressing
complaint, and recommended it to others
who had experienced a like result. In
cases of horse distemper and coughs it
is an excellent remedy.-ESchange.

Recently two Of Mr.. Duhy's neighbors
determined 10 abduct q pet calf belong
ing 70 that gentleman and Mr. Duffy
became aware Of their scheme. There
fore he quietly removed the calf from
the boX-stall In which II was confined
and in place Of II, introduced a goat Of
the VIM. gender and Of a very vicious
disposition. He also fixed 3 spring on
the door Of the stall, that would cause
It 10 close unless held open and he also
attached 10 the doora spring-lock that
would fasten, and could only be un-
fastened from the outside. Then he
went TO bed but not 10 sleep. IL was at
the witching hour Of midnight that the
two marauders entered Mr.. Duhy's
barn. They had examined the prem
ises the day before and knew exactly
where to 20. Each Of them carried a
dark lantern. They entered the stall
and the door closed behind them.
Everything was still. One of them
opened the slide TO his lantern. Then
there was a clatter of hoofs and the man
with the lantern found himself piled up
in a corner very much surprised. He
thought it was the queerest calf he
tNUl Adu uAGbs Aubu Nnb OlnBI man
opened the slide to his lantern TO see
what the matter was and the next
instant the breath went out Of him with
"yahH that made the listening Duffy
laugh all over. Then all was still again
except the faint profanity Of the men
and finally the man who was hit first
recovered enough to paw around and
find his lantern. It was extinguished
but he got out a match ard lighted it
again. Then he turned the bulls eye
toward the goat and he went into the
corner again. The goats blood then
being aroused, he didn't wait for fur
ther lights, but began to butt around
promiscuOusly and the robbers con-
cluded it was time to get out. But
that didn't prove so easily done. Then
they began to yell for help and Mr..
Duffy could tell when the goat hit them
because instead of yelling " helpr' they
cried: "O" and after he had laughed till
his sides ached, he went and let them
out on condition that they wouldn't try
to carry off the goat and when they
stepped out of the barn, he jumped and
stamped and yelled that the goat was
after them and they screamed "mur-
der" and ran three miles down the road
before they stopped for breath. Duffy
still keeps the calf Boston Post.

LOcusts In Virginia.

THE seventeen-year locust is filling
the hills and rich bottom lands of West
ern Pennsylvania and Virginia with its
droning thunder, which is almost deaf
ening at noon on a sunny day. The
farmers have plenty of reasonable the
ories to account for its mysterious ap.
pearance and long absence. 1t has, they
say, to make a journey to China and
back, which takes eight years each way
or il is part of the Egyptian host, lost
in the Red Sea, which still live in some
neither world, but are allowed every sew
enteen years to revisit these glimpses of
the moon, and cry Phar-a-ohI Phar-
a-ohi" to arouse the remorse of their
buried leader; or, it comes to foretell
war, as may be seen by the most in
eredulous in the w on its wing. Bot the
sole outcome of all impending disasters
will be a downfall of dead limbs in Au-
gust. This locust eats neither fruit nor
vegetable, so far as can be discovered /;
it simply riddles the green new wood of
the tapering limbs of trees to deposit its
eggs. If these branches are burned and
the ground plowed up our visitor will
be longer in making his journey from
China or the Red Sea.-Nea0 York
