WHAT GRANT WANTED. General Grant is
closer to the new President than any other
one man outside of Conkling. The President
makes no concealment OF. his devotion to
Grant. Grant has been the first and the last
man at the secret Presidential conferences I;
Grant had Arthur as his fellow guest at Cen
eral Beale's to dine on Sunday, and Arthur
called on Grant and took him to the railroad
depot on Saturday, when Grant left for New
York-aco courtesy that Is almost unprecedented
from the President to any one. Grant has been
for an Immediate and entire Stalwart Cabinet
which would at once dismiss all of the Gar
field Cabinet but Lincoln, who was Grant
delegate to the Chicago Convention but not
admitted. Grant urged the immediate nomi-
nation Of Conkling. Boutwell,, Beale and others
of that positive type to the Cabinet. He be-.
leves tho way to sustain Stalwart admins
tration is to make it Stalwart boldly, and let
the party understand that Garfield is dead
and his policy with him. He wants Boutwell,
and Beale in tho new Cabinet. His love for
them is equaled only by his hatred for Blaine
and MacVeigh. Philadelphia Times.

The Huntsrdon Democrat has hard time
of it just now. Between advocating the de-
sirabilty of the temperance ticket for Repub-
iicans, and urging temperance and anti-tem-
perance Democrats to support the regular
ticket, it has, to usa rough Western saying,
g bit off more than it can chaw." 1t wants
the better class of Democrats to think Mr.
Lunger is a saint, and at the same time, is
not avese to throwing some crumbs of COM
fort to the class that take drinks occasionally
between drinks. !. II says:
Disorganizers who claim to be Democrats,
and who are opposed to Lunger make very
singular remarks. One says - He (Lunger)
is man who never takes a drink Lunger
is not drinking man, neither is he total
abstainer. The interests of all are safe in his
hands,
SO the interest of the whiskey men, as well
as those of temperance men, are safe in his

tnean that He must be kind of "good

IcEBERas COMING souTH.--A St. Johns,
N. B., dispatch says: Two vast islands of ice
were visible in the offing driving rapidly south
ward. At sunrise yesterday these huge bergs
were not discernible within the range of the
horIzon. Their great drift rate may be de-
dueed from the fact that about half an hour
before sunset they bore, the one southeast by
south from the north head Of the harbor Of st.
Johns, aud the other southest. They were
then distant thirty and thirty-two miles re-
epectively, the northern one being most dis
tant from the land. This berg is about fifteen
hundred feet in length, and about one hum
dred and twenty feet in average height, and
has two spires surmounting it that soar not
less than one hundred and fifty feet above the
general level of the ice island. The more
southern berg is about eight hundred feet in
length and its general front elevation is some-
what under one hundred feet. One portion
rises one hundred and twenty feet above the
main body of the berg. The place from which
the above observation was made Is located
Ave hundred and twenty-seven feet above the
sea level. The approximate drift rate of these
isebergs is two and quarter miles per hour.

We are not personally acquainted with

know little of his personal character but
we have met men who do know him and they

Usher of the New Hope Monitor, lived 10 the

this is what he says about him.: @ ss3a

Of the Hnhterd0a Democrat. We had always
found him honorable, gentlemanly, obliging,
and were surprised to learn (?) by said paper,
that he is one of the worst men ever put in

TIE DEMAND FOR CONFEDERATE BoSDs -
WASHINGTON, Oct. S1.-An order was re-
ceived in this city to-day for Confederate
bonds TO the amount of one million dollars.
II is said that the recent demand for these
seventeen million dollars 10 gold, placed in
English banks during the war, to the credit of
the Confederate Government, is still held on
deposit. The united States Treasury 1t is
further said has made several attempts to OBJ
tain possession of the gold but has always
failed, the English banks contending that the
money could not be surrendered except 20 the
holders Of bonds issued by the Confederate
Government
