AN HUMBLE RESPONSE.

Gen. Young, of Ohio, Deprecates Grants
Anger and Explains Away His Cause OF
ONeensei.He Signs Himself ''YOur Hum |
BILE Friend" to Plain Suggestion That
Grant May Belittle Himself
CINCINNATI, June 1S.-The following
open letter will be published in the city
papers tomorrow, as furnished by Gen.
Thos. L. Young, member OF Congress for
the second district of Ohio
House of Representatives, Washing
ton. June 1910 Gen. U. 5. Grant
Dear Sir i waspained to read in the
Associated Press dispatches of this morn
ing what purports to be an interview
with you, published in New York papAr,
wherein you take occasion to allude to
me as a ''liar," because you read what
purports to be an interview OF mine IN
q, newspaper in Hew Orleans, wherein
l was quoted as saying you were connected
with certain banls, and that you were
president of one Of them. In your inter
view as published you admit all and ex
actly what did 'ay, that you are a di-
rector in a United States national bank of
New York city This found from Of
fetal sources. never said
YOU was president of a bank or
that you were Connected with another
bank, because 20 not know it. The
conversation occurred among a party of
gentlemen all of whom, SO far as know,
are YOUR admirer. 1t turned on your
Mexican railroad enterprise; and the
part relating to the banking business
was only an incitent of it. There was in
the company, a prominent newspaper
correspondent, ard he made the converse
ton the basis OF the interview you take
exceptions to. In yeur interview you
are made 70 say that 1
intended r. to talk slurringly
of you and to belttle you. Now, sir, you
know that when you speak to a journalist
and give him what you intend for the
public, that is printed all over the coun-
try, and this factmust be my excuse for
printing this LETTER, to do myself the JUS
tice to say that from the commencement
of your brilliantcareer as soldier uutil
the close of yourpubllc life as President
oflthe United States, l was an humble ad-
mirer and friend. In 1867 l went as dele
gate from this district to
Chicago to help make you the nominee
for President. In 1872 went to Phila-
delphia to assist in the same grand pur-
pose. In these political campaigns I
spent my time, my money and my best
efforts for your success. During the
eight years of your presidency never
asked you for an official favor for myself
or any of my relatives or friends. /
loved you = a soldier, and | still
admire you as man, and
Your assumption row that | have lied
about you, or that want to belittle you,
is both unkind and unjust to me. There
is but one man in this great nation could
ever succeed in belittling the great SOL
der and statesman of whom our nation is
justly proud, and that man is not your
humble friend, THos. L. YOU'VE.

The Marvellous BicycIers t..

The Selbini and Wilton troupe are to be seen
at each exhibition Of the great Forepaugh
show. In Europe they have created tremen-
dous sensation. These wonderful bicyclers,
mounted upon their machines, propelled at
locomotive speed, stand upon each others
shoulders, and while in this position engage
in hat spinning, tossing globes and balancing
bottles! One person at time, and skilled
one at that is all that has ever been able to sit
on a modern bicycle. Yet these Birotate Char
ioteers, the great Selbini and Wilton troupe,
bear upon their shoulders and carry upon
their heads two, three and even four persons,
who (while the slender machines are propelled
at speed of twenty miles an hour) perform
nearly all the ground and lofty tumbling, and
the best Juggling acts known to the profess
sion, presenting to the public the most per-
feet and wonderful training of eye, alertness
and suppleness of limb and joint and muscle,
and complete development of strength, skill,
courage and self-relance ever beheld among
athletes in any age of the world.

the operation became very nervous and
excited, and was taken home in a state OF

MISSOURI RIVER HORROR.
KANSAS CITY, June lS.-The number of
dead bodies found in the Missouri river at
this point recently has given rise to a
suspicion that there is an organized band
of thugs at work at some point on the riv-

of a young woman, entirely nude, was
thrown out of the current. Yesterday the
headless body of a man was foud, float
ing, and to-day the body of a man with
his throat cut was found floating. A
few miles below the city. Previous to
finding these evidences of foul play, sew
eral other bodies were takea from the
river in this vicinity. The body of the
man was dressed in black with nothing to
identify him but a handkerchief marked
in one corner with the initials "E w. !"
and in another corner the letter tx. +"
None of the bodies found have been
identified.

How to Lift q Thousand Pounds

Dumb-bells weighing not over five
pounds each are recommended, which
should be used regularly every morning
and evening for half an hour for a year.
By this time it will be found that the
muscles of the arms, legs and body will
have increased very much and become
exceedingly firm and hard. When this
condition has been acquired, then, and
not till then, can man think of lifting
heavy weights; for if he cannot get his
muscles and nerves in this healthy con-
ditiOn, he can never become a litter,
even with years of practice, as it takes
strength as well as slight to lift heavy
weight. Some very good authorities re-
commend lifting at the commencement,
adding that "you must not lift too much.
But how can experienced hands tell
when it is too much before they find
themselves permanently injured?
After the years exercise with dumb
bells, or otherwise, as previously sug-
gested, then man who is not ruptured
or otherwise injured can commence a
systematic course of lifting, starting
with not over one hundred pounds,
which ne can lift as many times a day
as he is disposed to do for one month.
He can then add another fifty pounds to
the weight to be lifted during the Sec
ond months exercise, and so on, adding
an additional fifty pound weight each
month for twenty months, when he will
be able to lift the great weight of one
thousand pounds without any danger Of
injuring himself. This is a general
rule, and any man with a sound body
can reach if he only follows the pre-
scribed course, and never tries to over
do the thing. If the weight will not
come up without too much strain stop,
for it is too heavy for you at that point
of your training. To lift correctly and
without danger a person must stand
erect, the heels on the same line the toes
turned out, the shoulders thrown back
and the body resting squarely on the
hips-the arms hanging down by the
sides. The legs should then be bent
merely enough to enable the hands to
grasp the handles or rings of what you
are to lift: then lift by merely straight
ening the legs, and not by the arms or
body. Ii you have to strain, and the
weight does not come up freely, then

Sponqes. American and FOREIGN.
From the New York SUM-


The best sponges are the best Ameri-
can sponges. They come from the West
Indies and the extremity of Florida.
But they are not sufficient to supply the
demand in the United States alone, and
so spoDges are imported from the Med
iterranean also. What is said to be the
largest American sponge ever found in
the West Indies or anywhere else is in a
glass-case before the door of a William
street dealer. It is about two feet in
diameter, and is said to measure eight
feet IN circumference when full of water.
Many of the West Indian sponges are
exported from New York to London,
Paris, Germany and Holland. They are
especially useful for washing carriages
and for similar purposes. Common bath
sponges are usually from the Mediter-
ranean, and Syrian spOnges are the kind
used IN hospitals and by surgeons.
There are two ways Of fishing for
spOnges. Clear water is necessary for
the work, and sometimes a tub-like
frame and magnifying lens are lowered
INTO the seas to aid in discovering the
beds of sponge. The sponges lie from
twenty to forty feet deep, and in the
IheuIteIIduedD GCed QlVCfS go down from
boats and separate the sponges from the
| rocks. Off the Florida coast, end in the
West Indies, ropes are dragged over the
bottom and the loosened sponges come
to the surface and are gathered. Agents
for dealers in New York buy the sponges
from the pickers m Key West and Mas
sau, dry and clean them, and send them
north in bales, from ten to forty at q
time. They too, are scarce this year.
The demand is always good. Spongea
are sold by the pound, and the best
sponges are those which are heaviest in
proportion to their size. The small
sponges sold so cheaply by street ped
| dlers are from the West Indies, and are
Of fine texture, but are too light to be OF
any service. There are from forty to
sixty of them 10 pound, and they are
not durable. One of the half dozen
large dealers and importers of sponges
IN William street said that the best
American sponges were the best in the
world, but that the beds were nearly ex-
hausted.

John Plouqhman's Proverbs,

Never offer a looking glass to a blind
man.
Ii man is so proud that he will not
see his faults, he will only quarrel with
you for pointing them out to him.
Many preachers are good tailors spoiled
and capital shOemakers turned out of
their proper calling.
1t is not wise to aim at imposibilities
it is waste of powder to fire at the man
in the moon.
Give your money to fools sooner than
let rogues wheedle you out of it.
Men willingly pour water into full
tub, and give feasts to those who are not
hungry, because they look to have as
good or better in return.
To see plum buildings in the moon is
far more cheerful habit than croaking
at everything like two-legged frog.
Never say die until you are dead, and
then its no use, so let it alone.
He pulls long rope who waits for an
others death.
He that waits for dead mems shoes
may long go barefoot.
Men who strike in their anger generally
miss the mark.
No mans lot is fully known till he is
dead
All the world will beat the man whom
fortune Bullets.
When mans coat is threadbare it is
an easy thing to pick hole in it.
Good advice is poor food for hungry
family.
The young sucker runs away with the
sap from the old tree.
The dog wags his tail till he gets the
bone, and then he snaps and bites at the
man who fed him.
