10 the Editors Of the Dispatch;
You seem to set much store by the opin'
ions OF newspapers and politicians in re-
gard to Grant. A few months ago all the
leading politicians and nearly all the news
papers in this Slate believed that Malone
would be defeated. They almost knew it.
Well, here we are. MEMORY.
Just so, old fellow. But negroes are not
Influenced by "the press and leading poll
ticians " as we whites are. II two fiiths OF
the population of the United States were
negroes, GRANTS election might be set
down as certain. But such is not the case.

A PREHISTORIC BoTToMLEss WELL
(From the Glen's Falls IN. ~ Repubiicdn. ]
There Is a remarkable well in the town Of
Thurman, situated along what is known as
the "Riser road" The well is about 81
feet in diameter at the top, and its depth has
never been ascerlaiDed. IL has been
sounded 500 feet without reaching the bot
tom. The water is clear and cold, and the
well Is always full. Ii was trst discovered
about ninety years ago, and its sides were
then walled up with stones, as they appear
at the present time.

Consul MosBY.-The publication by Col
onel Mosby OF his correspondence with the
Department of State in regard to the United

full OF errors. The Department has not
vet taken action in regard TO the matter, but
it is pretty certain that somewhere in the
near future there will be another Consul at

Very dear to the heart of our lord
Is lie who pities the lost like hun
Amen" | said to the beautiful myth,
Sing bird Of God i'm my heart as well.
Each good thought is a drop wherewith
To cool and lessen the fires OF hell.
Prayers of love like raindrops fall,
Tears of pity are cooling dew.
And dear TO the heart of our Lord are all
Who suffer like him in the good they do.
-Jchn e. Whittier.
