AUDUBON, Ia, March 7.-At Extra, town ten
miles south of here. an attempt was made Thurs
day evening to blow up saloon building. For
years war has been carried on there over the
liquor question, but last year the antiprohbition-
lists elected their candidates, and few weeks ago
two saloons were opened. At the municipal cleo
ton last Monday the license party carried every
thing. A few days after one of the saloon keepers
was arrested, but afterward discharged. At mid
night Thursday terrific explosion startled the
town.. An explosive package, wound on rope, was
placed in the recess in front of Moore g. Helman's
saloon, one of the best buildings in the town. Both
doors were blown open, one crashing through par
tition 20 feet away. A large hole blown
IN the hoor and nearly every particle of glass in the
building smashed More or less glass was shattered
in buildings 200 feet away. Two men have been
arrested, charged with engineering the explosion,
though it is generally believed they were but the
tools OF other and more prominent people. The
temperance men generally condemn it in the
strongest terms. and will aid in detecting and pun
1shing the perpetrators. The people of Extra are
frightened, and the attorney engaged for the prose-
cuton openly charges that the justice Of the peace
is in colluson with the prisoners, and will acquit
them, whatever evidence may be introduced

GEN. GRANTS CONDITION.
He Expresses His Opinion That He Will
Not Live a Month Longer.

NEW YORK. March THE scene around
General Grants house yesterday was in mark
cd contrast with that of the day before, which
was one of the busiest since the ex-President
mas been sick The callers were comparative
" few and came mostly in the afternoon, and
It was seldom that there were more than two
carriages In waiting. Almost every one in the
city who is acquainted with the General called
on MIN the day attar the retirement bill passed
rendered him congratulations by prexy and
learned that the patient was improving. This
information undoubtedly satisfied the minds of
the visitors, allayed whatever feeling of alarm
they had over the Generals condition and
gave them assurance that he was in no imme-
diate danger.
The ex-President bears his suffering with
such great patience and fortitude, aud with
such entire absence of complaint, that it ap-
pears, even to those who see him every day,
that his mind does not dwell at all upon the
inevitable end thatlfolloWs an epithellal cancer

days ago with General Badeau, in his library,
no dropped 8 remark that shows he evidently
appreciates the seriousness of his condition.
There was large amount of manuscript
scattered on the table and floor near him, and
he was looking through the various packages
and giving directions and information concern
ing such as he thought of sufficient Importance
to incorporate into the history Of his life's
sork, or OF any particular literary value. Com
Ing to piece of manuscript that within the
use ID forwarding his literary labor towards
completion, he began to give directions in ref
erenee TO it. General Badeau interrupted him
and told him that it was unnecessary for him
to continue any expression of his desires with
respect to this particular piece of manuscript,
as he would undoubtedly be able to dispose OF
it himself at the proper time. Gen. Grant
replied, without change of expression or the
shadow of regret or fear upon his face In his
usual quiet tone of voice and business like
manner:
General that may be what you think;

LATER.
NEW YORK, March S.-Dr. Douglass, who
was in almost hourly attendance on General
Grant, said last evening that General Grant
was very weak and feeble. He would not say
whether or not the General had lost ground
during the past week. There is little doubt,
however, that General Grant is sinking
steadily. His disease is a .sasting one and
gives him no chance of recupsration. His ap-
petite is poor, and he takes small quantities of
soft food at frequent intervals only by the ef-
fort Of his will. He passed another bad night
Friday night and awoke unrefreshed. The
dismal weather OF yesterday also had very
depressing effect on him, and he was not well
during the day, but he frightened up in the
evening.
General Grant passed restless night last
night. but slept from to II a. m. This after
noon Drs. Barker and Douglass, together with
Dr. Shrody of the Medical Record, held a con-
sultation and pronounced the patient generally
better.

Injurious Talking.

a Frencbman, speaking of person
known to his comrades, said: His
mouth costs him nothing, for he always
opens it at the expense of otbers." +"
There are multitudes of persons to whom
that remark will apply, Exaggeration
aud defamation are two fertile sources OF
social mischief. We meet with persons
who sensitively shrink from the deliber.
ate violation of truth, whowil habitually
over-culor their statements 10 such an
extent thai false impression is conveyed
to the mind of the listener. They thus
lower the tone of their own mind, de.
stroy the power of accurate perception,
diminish the confidence OF their friends
and SOW the seeds of much error in the
world. They soon discover that they
are not credited even when they speak
suberly. Their moral drafts upon social
confidence are dishonored. :
But perhaps the most injurious talk is
that which detracts from the character Of
another-that which openly or in dis
guise strikes at the reputation of a broth
er piIgrim-that which "cuts mems
throats with whisperings"-that which
is adopted by the envious rival who
seeks to build "his name on the ruins of

ings, because it is our duty to help The

an incident that occurred few years
after the war, at the White Sulphur
Springs, in Virginia. There was pres
ent venerable man, to whom all the
world looked with profound admiration.
His name was Robert Z. Lee. He was
devout Episcopalian. One day Pres,
byterian minister came to preach in the
ballroom. according to custom, and he
told me this story.
"He noticed that Ger. Lee, who was a
particular man about all the proprielies
of life. came in laIe, and he thought it
rather strange. He learned afterwards
that the General had waited until all the
people who were likely to attend the
service had entered the room, and then
he had walked very quietly around in
the corridors and parors and cut under
the trees, and wherever he saw man or
two standing be would go up and say
gently: we are going to have divine
service in The ball room, won't you

was very touching, to think that the

all over the world, and before whom al
the people wanted to bow, should Sc

another denomination also, and persuade
them to attend services"
