The Grant Hsass.

The action q the Illinois aud Ala
bama Conventions adding So votes to the
Grant column has created among
Washington politicians what is com-
monty described as . bulge" for the
ex President, snd the fact that this
feeling has set in during the week i'm
mediately preceding the National
Convention is d, ,,ilediy In his favor.
It is apparent that n great many Con-
gresSmen Who teu days ago did not
think that drant could be nominated,
have since tho action Of tho Illinois
Convention recousiiered their conclu.
sion aud now admit that il will require
combination of unexpected circum.

still insists that Grant cannot aud will
not be nominated. and the theory of
the Blaine men, all Of whom think as
Chandler does, Is that Grant will not
succeed on the first ballot and after that
there will lie n general breakup, when
Blaine will be run in. There is ono fact
apparent, aud that is, both Bluiuc and
Sherman expect to succeed by the same
meaus-thnt is. by securing the bulk
of the Grant delegates rs the second
choice. The friends OF both think. too,
that the delegations instructed for Grant
will not stand by the unit rule, and in
such event GTRut will loose twenty PR

Friday, produced most wonderful re-

only before the experiments began. A
current was applied to the muscles Of
the chest, and another to 1he muscles
just over the diaphram. working them
alternately. Complete artificial res
piration was secured. breath being ex-
haled with such force that air could be

How They Feel in Chicago,

The internicine quarrel in the Republican
camp of Cook county is bitter. The Chi
cago journal. the organ of Washburne,
referring to the split in the convention
says:
The probability is that the fight will be
carried into the national convention for
hnsl settlement. The secret of all sincere
Republicans must greatly regret. is the
desperate determination of the Grant
leaders to carry Illinois for his nomina-
tion, whether the people want him or not !;
and the snap judgment" resorted to by
the Grant majority of the county comuit-
tee. when calling the c,unty convention in
the summary manner in which they rush
ed the time of the primaries, hoping to
torestall popular action. aroused the
Washburne and Blaine men of the county
to great indignation; and the disreputsble
course of the Grant men at Saturdays
primaries was not calculated to inspire
their opponents with an over supply of
charity. Snap judgments" like two
edged swords. cut both ways"

The st. Louis Times Journal says Of this
company:
''Pinafore" has been sung in this city

never has it been so pretty aud attractive
| ly presented as by Haverly's Juveniles
| last evening. The programme was SO
| fearfully and wonderfully mixed that il is
| impossible 10 give names rs these preco
cious youngsters deserve. but it is not
coming it too strong to say that the repre-
sentatives of any Piuafore company this
city has yet seen might take lesson in
acting from these midgets. From jose
phine down to the midsnip mite the in
dividual performances are remarkable,
while the chorus is admirable 10 precision
and accuracy. There is. of course. much
| that taxes the children in score remark
| able for general cussedness," but they
surmount the obstacles very nicely and
their dramatic Interpretation is certainly
wonderfully clever. The setting is new
and handsome. The appointments are
perfect. The success of the engagement
cannot be questioned. Not to have seen
the children's "Pinafore" will be a de-
privation indeed.
