II Means

The Cincinnati Commercial and
Gazette are republican journals, but
they are both opposed to a third term
for Grant. The following, which is
taken from the Commercial, states
pretty plainly what each of those
papers think would be the ultimate
result Of the ucces of the third term
movement at the polls next November.
This is from the Cincinnati Gazette
1.-THE candidacy of General Grant is
commonly spoken of as for a third
term. We suppose, however, that no
one who supports General Grant ex-
poets to limit him or that he will
limit himself to a third term. If elect
ed again, a denomination would follow
in the natural order, making the
fourth term. And the traditional i'm
itation to two terms, having been set
aside by his election to a third term,
would be no more regarded. The
reasons for reelection would grow
stronger with each term, and
all the influence Of those
holding the Offices would be
used to continue themselves by
continuing to renominate General
Grant. There are no reasons for
electing to a third term which would
not be stronger for r~e-electing to a
fourth, fifth and successive terms.
Also, when this traditional bar had
been broken down the influence of the
president to renominate himself
through the forces of organization
and patronage would grow stronger in
each successive term. We know OF
no supporters of General Grant for a
thirm term who do not include there
in as many as he may desire; nor do we
know Of any reasons why they should
not
The amount of that is, that the
advocates of a third term for Grant
are substantially monarchists that
the reelection Of Grant would imply
a purpose on the part of those respon-
sible for it to change the form of gov
eminent. All in favor of changing
in the direction of monarchy should
support Grant. All republicans,
without distinction of party, should
be against him as a candidate for the
presidency now and always.

A Monkey Pulls a Tooth.

6alt (Ont.l hef0rmer.I
We invite the attention Of Mr.. Oar
win to the following very singular an
ecdote regarding the monkey Dot"
belonging to Mr.. James Wardlaw, Of
this town, as so peculiar an illustra-
ton of the ingenuity Of the monkey
has rarely, if ever, been recorded. The
monkey was brought to Gait from
Deccan, India, in the fall of 1873, by
Mr.. Wardlaw, who had been living in
Hyderabad for several years. 1t is
one Of the smallest of the monkey
tribe, and, we understand, goes by the
name of Himalaya monkey. Its re-
markable tricksan almost human ex-
preston have made it a source of
much entertainment to the family aud
visitors, and a relation of its doings
since he came to Gait, would make an
interesting chapter Of natural his
tory. But it fairly eclipsed itself
on Sunday before last. The little
creature had been suffering from
toothache for several days, and evil
IDENTIFY suffered severely. On Sunday
the pain was more than ordinarily
severe, and the monkey, like its
human type, resolved at last to under
go a dental operation. But the den.
fist, strange to say, was itself. Dot
found a string, fastened it around the
aching tooth, seized the end Of the
string with It's fore feet, drew up one
Of its hind legs between his fore feet,
and gave a sudden shove, which
jerked the tooth out and sent it flying
half way across the room. This hav.
ing been accomplished, the monkey
was at ease, and assumed its natural
cheerfulness and amiability. The
story may seem almost incredible, but
we have it from the Messrs. Wardlaw
whose character is such that there il
no room for doubling its accuracy.

Correspondence PuBLTu LEDoRA.l
WASHINGTON, DC. March lit is
not strange hat republican influence
is being used to keep Mr.. Tilden
prominent. The New York Tribune
and other leading radical papers
do not let the subject rest. They are
determined to agitate this man and
thereby endeavor to create the belief
that he is the representative man of
the democracy, that the nomination
Of Tilden would be to insure the
defeat Of the democratic ticket. II is
useless to even conceal this fact.
Tilden may be the best aud greatest
of all democrats, but his failure to
take his seat aud his revenue income
put him on the defensive, and it will
not do to apologize for a candidate,
even before his nomination. 1t is
also useless to disguise the fact that
Tilden could get a full democratic
vote in the south. 1t is undeniable
that the intelligent people of the south
want confidence in him. 1t is
true that at present the great
majority Of people in the south are
apathetie and discouraged. But few
believe that any democrat can be
elected president. Only a few can be
induced to believe that ever if Tilden
we're elected he could be inaugurated.
1t is not my purpose to discuss the
reason of such belief, nor to enter
upon the apology Of a ratiocination Of
the theory. Enough to know that such
is the fact. | do not think that any
intelligent man in Tennessee believes
Tilden could carry the state.
That great TODD whereby Hayes was
indicted, and the malignant curse Of
the republican party, combined with
the utter prostitution Of democratic
principles. by the leading and con-
trolling members of our party from
the east and the north, render US a
band Of uncertain and unfxed pur-
poses, so far as the embodiment Of
anything like a time-honored policy is
concerned. Grant will undoubtedly
be the nominee Of the republican
party. Our only hope is in Seymour
or Mcdonald. There is not another
hope. | need not go outside of demo.
cratic papers to find justification fol
the abuse of Mr.. Tilden, whose nom.
nation means the ruin of the demo.
cratic party. When the democracy
gets in position to ignore even a dis
cussion of the tariff, and to allow I
man like Tilden to be its leader, tn,
interests, the welfare, the prosperity
and the political influence Of tn,
south can be no longer assured, by !
continued devotion to this party
While the soft money theory is equally
as detrimental, there can be no hops
for the south if she remain thu
kite tail to such a politica
insanity. Should Tilden b,
nominated at Cincinnati, there viii
be a most astounding lack of iRteres
among southern democrats at tn,
November election. Tilden's nomi
nation means not only ruin to tn.
south, but the perpetuity, certainl
the prolongation, ofradical rule. Tn
time will come when the solid south
will assertits preference for principles
and upon this assertion establish
political policy of prudence and wis

What Tenncssee Needs.

A correspondent of a New York
paper, writing from this place, says at
the conclusion Of a long letter:
What, then, does Tennessee want.
to enjoy her splendid dOwry and adorn
the political and geographical position
she occupies? Clearly, little or moth
ing in nature which she does not al
ready possess. She wants improved
transportation facilities, north, south
and west, and towards every interme-
date point Of the compass. The new
railway combination have already
given her some of these on a grand
scale. She needs moreof them, as the
natural complement of her river i'm
provements and to what are already
completed. Aud now that the iron
horse from the Virginias and the Car
olinas has found a path across the
mountains, it will no longer be true,
as recently asserted, that a traveller
may go from Charlotte, Va, to Knox
vile, 900 miles, without crossing a
single railroad for branches to a main
line of railway multiplies as naturally
as branches upon a tree.
With all these things in her posses.
sion, Tennessee but needs a steady in
crease Of honest Inc industrious immi
grafton. and the energetic. faith and
fortitude of enterprise now manifest,
to remain in the brightness Of her
future among the states, a central star
in the constellation.

An Injurious Practice.

Rural New Yorker.l
The practice Of eating snow and ice,
so common among the school children
of the northern states, is a fruitful
cause OF catarrh. 1t is common to see
boys and girls devour a snow ball as
eagerly as a bit of candy. The lard
palate which forms the roof of the
mouth also forms the floor Of the nos
trils, and is no thicker than PASTE
board: The chilling effect of snow
and ice brought freely in contact
with this thin partition, the upper
covering of which is a sensitive
secreting membrane, made up almost
wholly of fine blood vessels and
nerves, produces a congestion, often
succeeded by chronic inflammation.
AS a consequence, these snow and ice
eating boys and girls almost always
have colds in the head and running
noses. This is the foundation and
origin of one Of the most disagreeable,
persistent aud incurable affections to
which the people of the north arc
subject-nasal cqtarrh. Catarrh is
said to lead to consumption. Whether
this is SO or not, the chilling of the
nasal membranes, a part Of whose
function it is to warm the air in its
passage to the lungs, cannot but iniurt
those organs, particularly in people O.
a delicate constitution.
