GRANTS LUCA.

Why Mrs. Grant IseJSsces Over Her Hus-
bAnd's Defeat IN the 1850 Convention
The Gone, ais Candidacy This Year Denied,
He II Committed to Losass and Never
Goes Back ON His Word.
t WAsHIS0rON, d. G., April Il
General Grant left here for New York
yesterday. General Grant did not return
President Arlhur's call. He made it a
rule while here to pay no call and accept
no invitations. This has given him the
opportunity of avoiding Arthur and B,aine
without having its being taken as an
affront. Grant and Blaine have not spoken
since the Spring Of 1850, and the only
reason is the fight Blaine made upon
Grant in the Chicago Convention. II
it had not been for Blaine's vigor-
Gus fighting, Grant would have been NOM
mated. Senator Miller, Of California, re-
ports good remark from Mrs. Grant
upon this subject: 81 am SO glad my hus-
band was not nominated in 1880 at Chi
cago," said she. "Why2" asked Senator
Miller. "Oh," she replied, "if he had
been nominated and elected. he might
have been assasSinated by some crank
like the one who killed poor General Gar
field. 1t is disreputable to be put out of
lie by crank To die for sweet revenge
is one thing, but to be snuffed out by a
worthless crank is positively ignoble."
General Grant will not be candidate
again, notwithstanding the prediction of
some of the political astronomers of the
time. General Grant has fully committed
himself to Logan, and he is not in the
habit of going back on his word.

Prohibition in Canada.

TORONTO. ONT, April 19.-The Canadian
Government passed a prohibition liquor ACT
fifteen years ago, making it optional fol
adoption by any county in Canada. 1t has
until recently remained a dead-letter on the
statute books of the Dominion, but now in
many parts of Canada arrangements are
being made to adopt it. Six counties now
prohibit liquor and ten more will adopt the
act in few months. Leading temperance
people assert that it is only a question of
year OF so before the whole of Canada
will adopt the prohibition liquor act. Pro
hibitiOn conventions are being held through
out Canada to agitate public opinion in favor
of the movement. ~
