If you want to lessen the concei,
of q top, get him to try on the con-
formator, used by matters to make q
map of the cranial superfcies. II
seems scarcely possible to the unin-
itiated that the circumference of the
head can be SO void of regular form
and studded with ssach remarkable
rrotnberances, The first impression
of everybody is. when shown tie
shape of his head, that q joke is be-
ing played upon him; and when
convinced he cannot fail to have q
lessened opinion of himself. In fact
he feels, decidedly lop-sided the re-
mainder of his life.

Tricks that are Vain.

The manipulators of the several
rings which held undisputed sway
under Grants Administration are
using every effort to pack the Chica-
go Convention for one who will again
loosen the public purse-strings for
them. 1t is now quite evident that
all the demonstration since his trip
around the world, beginning with
the ovation" in San Francisco,
were sprung by the same secret ma
cbinery, arranged SO as to secure the
best possible dramatic effect. 1t is
indeed quite plain now that tn. de-
tails of the trip abroad were arranged
by the same professional manipula-
tors. The employment of a Govern
vessel to carry him about, was de-
signed, of course, to impress foreign
powers with the idea that he came in
a representative capacity, and the
sending of an eminent journalist to
write up a gigantic boom," (from
which such facts as would not serve
that purpose were to be carefully ex-
cluded,) was the next step towards
shaping matters for a common
object. Then the ministers of the
State Department abroad received
their cue, and he was heralded with
the furry of trumpets which royalty
appreciates better than plain facts.
Is there any cause for surprise at the
result, as reported, under these cir
cumstancese Would it not, indeed,
have been a gross violation of the
polity of nations for any power on
friendly terms with our Government
to have shown the cold shoulder to
it's duly accredited representative, of
on a holiday jaunt at the nations ex-
pense?
Unaceustomed to.the stratagems
which have corrupted our modern
politics, some of the first nations OF
the earth have been made to play the
undignifed part of hobs to the Grant
kite. Is it not trxea And does il
not seem shameful to thus enlist the
generous impulses of our neighbors
across the water to se-establish the
rule OF the most corrupt rings which
have ever 'disgraced any people
1t may serve to steady the con-
Germ for a final flight, but the re-
suit will be one which cannot add
any luster to our prestige abroad.

TIpE.LANp At GRAY's HARBoR.-l

TrDE-LAND AT GRAY's HARBoR.
gentlemen who has made the recla.
nation of tlde-lands special object
of consideration, has recently visited
the seacoast bordering Chehalis and
Pacific counties, and gives us sthe
result of his observations while there.
He says that on Shoalwater Bay and
Gray's Harbor are to be found over
forty thousand acres of tide-marsh
land, equal to any on the Swino-
mish. Less than one-fourth of this
is vacant. Most of it is owned in
large bodies and used only for stock
range. Not to exceed two or three
hundred acres IRE under dixie.
There are as much more of low spruce
bottoms which can be cheaply re-
claimed by diking the other tide
marsh land before attempting to
burn or clear them. The cultiva.
ton of these two classes Of land,
would furnish enough business to
maintain weekly steamboat connec-
ton from each of these places direct
to San Francisco; or freight a
ship of thousand tons burden, if
this land was all in grain, from each
place every week in the year Very
few persons ies.,..n. there know
anything about i.cluiming this kind
of land by diking, but many
are anxious to improve their lands
in that manner. Several hundred
experienced hands at diking could
make good wages by going down
there and doing the work on shares,
as most all the landowners would
be very glad to get their marsh
land diked in that way, and would
give terms very favorable to dikers.
A JAPANESE VIEW OF GRANT.-Tbat
" distance lends enchantment" never
found better illustration than the
opinion which remote nations have
formed of the military prowess and
craftsmanship Of Gen. Grant. This
is what q Jeddo writer saws about
"The Sphinx"
Whether we consider the fox among
beasts, or the phenix among birds, we
find that even when endowed with I'M
usual abilities the intelligence OF these il
not equal to that of stupid old women or
dOltish boys. But men are able, ii they
choose, to cultivate their talents, and there
is man who has cultivated his great
natural abilities, is rich in thought, IS ad-
mirable in his movements, il AS untathOm.
able as heaven and earth, and with whom
neither the fox nor the phenix is for mo-
ment TO be compared Such one is Gen.
Grant, whose intelligence is commanding
to degree, and whose business capacities
are truly grand"
The idea of the business capacities
Ut Gen. Grant being truly grand"
is refreshing! The poor Japs have
been imposed upon by the managers

EThe opponents Of Senator THUR
MAN in this State, embittered by the una
nimity that prevailed ct the Democratic
State Convention, appear determined to
continue their ill-nalured and senseless
opposition to his candidacy. All their
previous efforts to iujure him, in the es-
timaion Of the true, unflinching Demo.
Gratis of Ohio, were severely rebuked bv
The action OF the Convention, end they
ought to understand by this time that
traitors to the in,e, ests Of the party, and
the Nation, will always he forced to take
back seats, as they have been in this con-
test Senator THURMAN has heen en-
dorsed by Convention in which every
county in the STATE was fully represent
ed; his name will GO before the Cincin
nati Convention with prestige, gained
by long and arduous labor for the coun-
try and its best interests, that the name
OF no other candidate before that assem-.
blage can command. The Ohio delega-
ton will present his name, not for the
purpose of complimenting him, as il
claimed hy the bargain-and-sale mem
bers Of the party, hut with the firm, unal
terable determination that his name shal
head the National Democratic Ticket il
