IMPERIALISM.

He o me, Cassius, or l sink!
Help US. Grant. or We do perish,
shout the republican leaders.
When Csssius lifted the tired Casa
from the waves of Fiber, he had no sus-
plcion that so soen he would be toying
with = coronet. So, to-day. those who
cry Tor Grant to save their party are
blind 10 the peril in which they would
place their country. At San Francisco
and other places, Gen. Grant said, in the
plsinest Anglo-Ssxon, that he did not
want to be president for = third time;
that he was tired. needed rest, and
wanted to DO out OF politics. All these
things he has said; but. like Caesar, he
has never said. Il will not accept the
henor." We are reminded by the stu
alton OF Cssca's interview with Cassius
and Brutus.
Cssca. "Why, there wss q crown Of

he offered it tho third time : he put it

And yet Cessr's ambition brought him

We are told that because Lafayette
county funding bonds are worth 81
cents on the dollar and are moving rap
idly up to par, that persons in St. Louis
and elsewhere are being persuaded into
buying Lafayette township bonds. The
latter are worthless, and are likely to
continue SO, and persons when buying
them are only purchasing lawsuits and
endless expense and trouble.

New York, Jan. l5.-The Evening
Post says: Owing to the breakage Of
the caroon horsc-shoes in about fifty Of
Elison's lamps at Menlo Park about
two weeks ago, and the suspension Of
their manufacture for the present
matters have come rather to stand
.,.ll at EdiSon's shops. Mr.. Edison is
now az work trying to find out the week
point which causes the trouble. He
thinks that the heat emitted by the
light cracks the glass at the place where
the platinum wires enter the lamp, anC
that air gets in. No change can be
found in any of the carbons which have
been burning for some weeks. Al
present there are fifty lamps burning
one Of which has now been in use fol
nearly ~ days. y new glass-blowel
has been engaged, aud notifications
may DC made in the lamp allowing tol
some means Of carrying of the lea
emitted"
