A CHAMPION OF WAsnINGToS Gen. James
s. Brisbin is writing romans in tie interest of
the Grant boom. Here is one of the interesting
incidents he relates:
When Grant was very young he attended school
with his Cousin John, Canadian, who had been sent
to the United States TO be educated The two
bows were warm friends, but John had inherited
prrudices against country which at times he
could not restrain and his language often gave Of
Tense 10 young Grant. One day they were talking
about George Washington when John said: lit ap-
pears to me- Ulysses, you think great deal too much
Of Washington"
the tanner boy. "He is the father of my country,
and raised up by the Almighty to lead il to in
Dependence
'All very fine, retorted John, but he was traitor
to his king, nevertheless"
"a what r asked Ulysses rising to his feet.
"A traitor and a rebel" said the Canadian.
.Jobn.H calraly replied Ulysses, ..how would you
like to have your sovereign called such names y
why, of course, should not like it" replied John.
Then" said young Grant, ''let me tell you will
not allow you any one else to insult the memory
of George Washington"
We'll, what are you going to do about it ?" said
John, with sneer
81 shall resent it, have right to do. You may
take advantage of me, for you older and bigger
than am My mother told me not to quarrel with
NV sehoolInates, and mean to mind her, and shall
not attack them my own account, But when
Washington is assailed, and especially by English
boy shall defend the father of my country Cousin
or no cousin John you have got to take that back
fight" John would not retract, and so, taking off
their coats, at it they went John was the stronger
and forced Ulysses down, but young Grant,huDg on
and finally turning John, hit him blow the nose
which completely blinded him. After hard fight
John finally had to cry out Enough" but Grant
would not let him up until he not only retracted his
offensive language but promised never again while
on American soil TO speak ill of George Washington
This Grants first battle for his country and it
was indicative of his future illustrous career a
man and q soldier.
Grant has got bravely over his reverence for
Washington. He can now coolly set aside one of
the noblest and most unsel6sh of Washington's
examples, and allow his followers to speak of
Washington as an 'old fogy," all sold hummer"
and such terms. If Grant wishes the public to
believe'the Brsbin story, he must go to work
and kick few Thousand of his over Jealous par
tisaus and then have some one of them kick
him.

OUR readers will find in this paper a
Reply to DR.. Dabney's statements about
the laboring classes in Germany by the
Rev. Mr.. Huber of st. Johns German
Evangelical church in this city.
We desire it to be distinctly under
stood that we do not undertake to en-
dorse the statements or views of our cor
respondents. We leave it to DIR. Dabney
ard Mr.. Huber to settle the points in
dispute between them as to the condition
of the laboring classes in Germany.
For the German people we entertain
the highest respect, regarding them as
superior to any race on the continent of
Europe. We love their honesty, their
family life, their genial disposition, their
freshness and simplicity of character,
their industry, and their vast learning.

power the possession of knowledge-and
thus we have our Aristotles, Newtons,
Humboldts, Herschels, etc.
These are called the practical men Of
the world-the successful men. They
realize ideals of practical value.
1t is question, of course, among these,
as to which is the wisest-which has been
the most practical-which has secured
the most valuable object
There is farther question, however,
to be considered: these men, or many OF
them, regard the very religious man like
St. Paul or Augustine or John Bunyan or
Jeremy Taylor or Henry Martyr or
George Muller-as visionary-as less
practical than themselves Humboldt
Off alive) would doubtless regard his
countryman George Muller as having
framed an inferior ideal to his own, and
Vanderbilt would have regarded iona
than Edwards in the same light.
One of these classes is mistaken, and,
as we remarked in the beginning, it is OF
the highest Importance to measure accu-
rately the relative value of the objects
we pursue. This, we said, is philosophy.
And this, we may add, determines who
is the most practical man and, to use an
expression which sa7ors of slang, the most
teveL-headed man. Is it Astor or Angus
tine? Spurgeon or Stewart?
Confning ourselves to the horizon of
this life, the man who builds for himself
fine residence, and has the money to
pay for it, may be regarded as exceeding
ly practical and long-headed but, in
Guiding all that concerns the happiness
of that man, is he as practical as Edward
Payson who built no house, but shaped
his enterprises with reference to making
himself comfortable for period (say) of
a thousand years? Who are the dream
ers-the men who own the railroads, and
the ships, and the town-lots, or the men
who by life Of hardness work them
selves up into a position to become the
peers of beings, endowed with immortal
ity, and far superior in intelligence and
power to the richest of the Rothschilds
or the most learned Of the fellows of the
Royal Society? Who is the most practi-
cal man, the tobacco-man who leaves to
his son 100000, or the preacher who
dies, and leaves his boy an heir of grace

The most awful blasphemy of the day
is the project to bring out in New York,
under the management of Mr.. Abbey of
Booths Theatre, a dramatic representa-
ton of the Last Supper" and the "Cru-
cifxion." One might deem this incredi-
bic if the same actor who is to appear in
this play had not already appeared in
the character of our Lord in San Fran
cisco.
We often wonder at such scenes in the
history of Israel as Aaron and the Golden
Calf in the Wilderness, but the human
heart remains the same in all ages, and
such monstrous wickedness as this, and
such spectacles as pilgrimages to the
shrine of the Holy Virgin at Lourdes,
under the leadership of such person as
Cardinal Manning, show that Americans
and Englishmen of the nineteenth CEN
fury are capable of doing all that is re-
corded of the apostasies of Israel in the
Old Testament.

SoArE ONE will object that the view
presented above to the effect that the
earth was prepared with reference to the
fall Of man, is opposed to the idea of
mans freedom and moral responsibility.
But this objection applies to all Pro-
phecy The leading features of the fu-
ture history of our race are presented in
the Apocalypse of st. John, but the
course of that history has been perfectly
free. And SO for sixteen hundred years
the Paschal Lamb prefgured and pro-
claimed the offering up of "the Lamb
slain from the foundation of the world"
and yet the Jews were told, Him, being
delivered by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God, we have taken,
and by wicked hands have cruciied and
slain And SO the precise number OF
hogsheads of tobacco which will be made
in Virginia this year is known, and vet
the amount Of the crop depends on human
Volitions
