A Story for Small Boys {!

Among the many anecdotes of
Grant which have been going the
round of the press, is this one, show
ing how, according to Mr. Grants own
statement, of course,) he came to be a
great man: When he was a boy, at
Georgetown, Ohio, his mother sent
him one day to neighbor's house to
borrow some butter. When he went
into the house, the neighbor was
reading aloud letter from his son,
who had been sent to West Point
Military Academy, stating that he
had failed to pass the examination,
and would have to return home.
Young Grant got the butter and took
it home, then rushed off to the Con-
gresham of that District, and asked
to be appointed to West Point in case
the other hoy failed. The Congress-
man p omi, ed, the other 10y came
home, Grant went to the Academy and
thus ted upon the road to fame.
Sup o E, now, hat young Ulysses,
like many boys Of the present day,
had fe gned sickness o der to keep
from gong after that butter, and af-
ter his tt ster or his cousin or
his aunt had been sent, he had
gone around ben nj the barn and
commenced TOSS no a asa-ball or

SENATOR THURMAN is credited with
the saying, while speaking of the Kel-
logg case, that the Democratic party
had more than once ran its head
against stone fence, and it was we'll
to look before it leaped There is a
deal of wisdom In this remark. The
Democratic party has repeatedly butted
its head against stone fence, and the
worst part of it is, that after each sue
cessive thumpit seems to have |, IS wis
dom than before. Perhaps no Con-
gress since the foundation Of the re-
public made such disgraceful record
as the XLVIth Congress. And the
worst feature Of it is that such able
statesmen as Judge Thurman have
participated in the making Of this
disgraceful record The work Of the
Democratic majority has been one
continual exhibition of dishonesty in
regard to political matters, and incap-
acity for Government. The motto Of
the Democratic Congressman, as well
as the Democratic statesman outside
of Congress. seems to be that any
thing which Injuries the Republican
party, is right. He does not stop to
inquire, nor does he seem to care.
whether or not it Injuries the country,
and the whole fabrick of Republican
Government as well. Yes, the democ-
racy should use all the judgement of
which it is capable, in tampering with
Kellogg g'sseat. From Louisiana. as well
as from Maine, comes the solemn
warning to Democracy, Look before
YOU leap!'

,ustained! What a deplorable loss
Grant himself would have sustained!
This story is not told for the purpose
Of convincing small boys that every
one of them who borrows butter will
get to be General of the Army or
President of the United States. You
might borrow butter for fifty years
and never get to be foreman of a jury.
But the lesson is, that it is always
best to mind your mother Grant
obeyed his and got to be such great
President that the country can
scarcely get rid of him when she wants

A GERMAN congregation in Chilli
cothe had a prea, her who was in the
habit of gett ng drunk. Some Of the
members of the church complained
about it, but it was no very serious
objection. Fin Lly, he got drunk and
went publicly into one of the thirty
for Eousos C prostitution With
which that lovely city is blessed.
Then his church bounced" him.
Whether he got the Democratic mig
ger" Ollison to show him where to
fnd the capercaiIz.e, is not stated.

The Sherman Twins.

The Cincinnati Gazette, which is
strangely afflicted with Shermanpho-
bia, solemnly warns the Blaine men
that in case Sherman cannot be nomi-
mated, the Sherman men will all go
over to Grant, and thus defeat Bla me-
The Cincinnati Commercial, similarlT
afflicted, assures the Grant men that
will stick to their favorites, and never
go over to Grant. These twins should
hold a consultation and make ari ange-
ments for working a little more in
harmony. The spectacle of Two great
Sherman crranc rniiin1 IL opposite
would create a feeling oe
distrust among their re aders.

PORTSMOUTH is unusually modest
this time. There are only three can
didates there for State offices, Pond
Cole and Rifenberick They have
now but one candidate for Congress,
but they had two until recently. And
then they want O. B. Gould, of that
county, for one Of the Presidential
electors for the State at large. We
have nothing to say against any of
these candidates. Especially would
Mr.. Cole make a strong candidate.
He is now member of the Ohio Leg
islature, and one Of the few Republi-
cans who defeated the Local Option
bill. The one hundred and fifty thou
sand persons who petitioned Mr.. Cole
and his colleagues for bare chance
for little protection from the damn
ing curse of drunkenness, would give
him an enthusiastic support.

IN 1876, Samuel J. Tilden, at the
head of the Democratic party, first
attempted to steal the Presidency,
then attempted to buy it. In both he
was unsuccessful. Ever since, he has
been laying his plans for an attempt
to steal the Presidency in 1880. The
Republican party should see to it that
the old man is saved from sin again
this year

JOSEPH STAPLEToN and Milton
Bowman lived in Ironton. Their
wives are sisters. The women got
into a fight, which induced the hus-

dead, and Stapleton has skipped across
the river into Kentucky.

What Lands!

In the proceedings Of the Legisla-
ture on last Thursday, as reported in
the daily papers, we see that Mr.,
Paine introduced a bill, and it had
passed, authorizing the Commissioners
of Jackson county to transfer por-
tion of the Public Square to the vii
lage of Jackson, for the purpose of
erecting a Town Hall. That is all
right, and easily understood; but in
the report Of the proceedings in the
Senate on Friday, are the following
mysterious items
H. & B. q r. ,, by Nj Paine, authorizing the copmis-
ag fcultural purposes, was passed.
And little farther along is this:
The iollowine bills passed:
II. B. by Mr.. Paine, authorizing the COmmisoner
OF Jackson County 10 lease certain lands.
Is this the same bill, or are they
separate? What lands are they ?
Do the taxpayers of the county own
any lands which are about to be leased.
or are Mr.. Paine and the Commission
ers going to lease some Granger's lands
for the use of the county? But per-
hars this is Granger matter, and a
sworn secret.
We fear Mr.. Paine and the Com
missioners are like old Joey Bagstock,
TOO De-vilish sly"

''IT seems to be pity says the Gin

was too busy to go to Boston" Mr..
Sherman has fully as much as he can
attend to, outside of his official du-
ties, in attempting to securely fasten
to the Ohio delegation to Chicago.

JOHNSON C. WHITAKER IS col

JOHNSON G. WHITAKER IS a col
ored cadet at West Point. One night
last week, three masked men entered
his room, bound him, cut off a por-
ton Of one ear, slit the other ear and
beat him with a club. The offense of
Whitaker was the darkness of his
skin. If Whitaker had kept revol-
yer handy" and used it effectively
on that occasion, the world would
have been made better by it. 1t is
rather difficult to discern the object of
Foreign Missions, while we have CIV
ilized" people among us who excel the
savage in cruelty, while they scarcely
rival him in intelligence. Should the
parties engaged in this outrage be de-
tected they ought to, and we believe
would be, summarily dealt with.
There is no place in this country
where the whipping-post is so much
needed as at West Point.

West Point.

For several years past-in fact ever
since the rebellion, we have been IN
favor of abolishing the Military Acad-
emy at West Point. 1t is the hotbed
of blackguardisn1, disloyalty and trea-
son. During the Democratic rebel
lion, a very large proportion of the
officers who had been educated at that
place, at the expense of the Govern
ment, turned traitors to the Govern
ment that had educated them, and
given them offices at high salaries.
The outrage committed upon the
colored Cadet last week, will arouse
the whole country. Three Of these
hopeful young blackguards and incipi-
ent traitors, went into the room OF
this colored boy, tied him, beat him,
and then said: LET us mark him, as
we mark hogs down South" Then
they cut and mutilated his ears. Not
satisfied with this, they then started
the story that Whitaker had tied
himself, and cut his own ears. No
doubt they will swear the silly story
through, if they can.
An investigation was commenced
last Friday. One of the stories told
by these savages is, that Whitaker
tied himself with his own belt
When he was on the witness stand
the report says:
| When some pieces of the belt with which he had
been tied were shown the witness, 1t was revealed
that piece contained eyeets, which none put OIL
GERS belts have, and Whitaker has never been an
officer His counsel deemed this important. He also

Solid for Big Appropriations.

From Recent Speech by Georgia's new snator
joseph L. Brown.
We have had 10 abandon one OF our old
creeds. Before the war we were utterly
opposed TO internal Improvements by the
general government as now practIced. We
took none of the money we took the hon
ors, and the North always got money Rt
every Congress. 1t turned ont when the
struggle came that the money weighed a
great deal more than the honors did.
Laughter.l In the future We must change
that policy. We pay our part Of the mon.
ey necessary to run this government, and
we are entitled to our part when it comes
to division. Our rivers and harbors need
improvement, as do their rivers and har-
bors. But we need il the most because
they have long had theadvantage. When
we go up there hereafter We must 60
earnestly and honestly and faithfully for
the old flag, but we must ask for the apprO-
priation also, Laughter and applause.
And, gentlemen, from what have seen
during my short period OF my service, il
we meet the Northern Senators and Repre-
sentatives ia the proper spirit, they are
ready hereafter to give US our part and
make fair distribulion. We ought to en-
courage it. We ought to take our share
in every improvement; and especially TO
urge them to make such appropriations
OF the proceeds of the public lands rs will
give us for the time the lions share, be-
cause we have the heavy task here that
they do not have there, of educa'ing the
colored race. This Is right, and il is what
we should contend Tor. CAPPlause.

Songs of the eMlllennium.-7h The Interior
Of Chicago, speaking Of "Spiriiual Songs for

have printed 100000 copies, says;
d" Il may bO expected that among the signs
TO herald the dawn of the millennium, will be
the publication of hymn book for Sunda y

Until then, there will be more or less OF a pop.

book makers aud publishers cannot well disre-
gard altogether. This latest work of DR.. Rob-
insOn (wLo, as hymo book maker is without

tieulAr, Of any book that we remem 10 have
seen. or the 973 hymns in the book, NAM y
are old and among the most precious Ia the
whole range Of Symuology; while Of the new
hymns some are beautiful, and almost all are
good. The music, too, is generally Of high
order Of merit. Indeed, taken as a whole, we
know OF no other book so excellent for the Sun
day School service Of soHg as this, nor so ad
mirably htted fnr cutivating what 10 greatly

A serious defect Of the book, which ought not
" be repeated In subsequent editions, 10 the
omission Of the nE mes OF the authors Of the
hymns and tunes on the pages where they are
found, and the printing al them only in the in
dex. Let the chi dTen, at the same time they
learH the hymns, learn also the names Of their
authors. This they will be certain not 10 da,
