Some men are born TO greatness, some
achieve greatness, and some have great
ness thrust upon them. General Grant
was no creature OF fortune. Circumstances
did not make hm-hc made them.
Grant never pretended to be anything
but what he was. He was the same un-
affected citizen abroad, the guest Of
Sovereigns, ~ when in time OF his ndvcr-
OF St. Louis for sale. He came back from
his wonderful ovations around the world,
ii possible, sounder American than
when he went away. His place in the
history OF our country il due solely To his
own brave, honest heart, steady nerve,
good judgment, and tenacious will

immediate command either in the armies
OF the West, or in the army Of the Poto-
mac. Our sturdy townsman, the chair
man Of the Committee Of Arrangements

"reminiscences Of the Mexican war. The

1872. He was President Of the great Re.

DIR. FELTON, FOR GOVERNOR.

DIR. FELTON, will probably be an in
dependent candidate for Governor ON
the prohibition ticket.-Ahaata Con-
stituti0n.
We hardly think he will be an in
dependent, but rather the nominee of
the prohibitionists, if at all. But we
can see no additional good to come
from such an event. We already
have prohibition Governor, in the
person of II. d. Mcdaniel, just as
pure and true as they make them,
and he is as prompt to see that the
prohibition laws in the different
counties in the State are legally en-
forced as any one could be. More
than that he aided in making them
laws by putting his official signature
of approval to each enactment. DR..
FELTON,, elected as prohibition Gov
ernor, could do no more, as the Gen
eral Assembly is the law-making
body. To run as the nominee of the
prohlbitionists, he would be repeat
ing his old fight of antagonizing
the organized Democracy, who Ger
tainly will not disband, but as is its
custom will nominate candidate for
Governor. The principle Of prohibi-
ton meets our unqualified endorse
ment, but it cannot be promoted on
the simple issue Of a candidate for
Governor TO elect a prohibition
Governor would not close single bar
room, because he has no such power
under existing laws: but when the
people vote for law to prohibit its
sale, then they accomplish some
thing practicable, if successful, and
not otherwise.

A FIENDISH MURDER.

A horrible outrage is reported
from the village of Gubencos in
Spain. A party of brigands entered
the village late at night and easily
gained an entrance into the house of
the parish priest. They demanded
that the priest should tell them
where he kept his money. He re-
piled that all that he had belonged
to the poor Of his parish, and he re-
fused to disclose its hiding-place.
They proceeded to tortue him to COM
pei him to reveal the secret. They
threw him upon the floor and two of
the ruffans gouged out his eyes with
their thumbs. They repeated their
demand and the priest still refused.
They pulled out his tongue to its full
length and scared it with a hot iron.
The priest was by this time in the
most frightful agony, and was unable
to speak, but he still refused by signs
to reveal the hiding place of the poor
box. The brigands again threw him
upon the brick floor of the kitchen
and proceeded to ransack the house.
Failing to find any money they re-
turned to the kitchen in more fend-
ish temper than before. The priest
was dying, but they stuffed his cloth
ing with straw, set fire to it, and left
the house. When the body of the
priest was found it was burned to a
crisp. The authorities have sent troops
in pursuit of the brigands. Monsignor
del Tindaro, the Papal Nuncio at
Madrid, is mad with horror and fury
at the outrage, and insists that the
Spanish Government shall offer an
enormous reward for the capture of
the murderers.

GEN. GRANT.

General Grant still fingers, the
dreadful cancer slowly but surely per-
forming its work of death. When a
few more suns have risen and gone
down, the great military chieftain will
have fought his last fight, and death
will have proved the conquerer. 1t is
said that this cancer and the one that
fastened Senator Ben HilPs death
were both caused by incessant smok-
ing. lfthis be true, how foolish the hab-
it of those, Who, in the indulgence of
what purports to be luxury, never
stop to count the cost. Self-grat-
lfcation is the ruling passion.
There has been a heap of bad things
said OF Gen. Grant, and now all the
good things are being said. Strange
world! People wait until person is
dying or dead before they are touched
with sympathy and tell of good deeds
performed
But now in the face of approach
ing death, malicious tongues are 81
fenced, and the truth that would de-
tract from great name is kept in
allegiance, and only his generous act
towards General Lee at Appomattox
is spoken of.

TWO AM NOT THREE.

A good story is told of farmer in
Schley, who rented some land last
year to a colored man for a third of
the crop. When the drouth came on
his corn and cotton were affected by
it. He gathered two bales of cotton
and two wagon-loads of corn. The lat
ter he penned up for his own use, and
the cotton was sold. When his land
lord called for his share he was told
that there was'none for him. He was
thunderstruck and asked: Didn't
rent you my land for Il third of the
CROP" eyes, boss, said the darkey
"but you see, dere was no third
Dere was only two bales of cotton
and two loads of corn; all mine and
muffin for you by de contract" And
the landlord could not make cufee
believe any other way. He left the
premises, saying ''no damn rascal can
make me say dat two am three, NARY
time.-S,tn.ter Republican.

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.

The Russians gave the Afghans
whipping near Penjdeh, recently, and
now England demands a withdrawal
OF Russian troops, or blood will flow.
The effect of this war news caused
wheat in New York to bound from
9233 cents bushel to 81. 90 per bushel !;
hog products were excited and prices
ranged higher, but cotton was off -
points. This is always the case. War
between any of the foreign powers
helps the north and hurts the south.
Corn, wheat, oats and hog meat will
command big prices if Russia and
England are forced to settle their diff
ferences by resort to arms. which
will put large profit in the pockets
Of those who raise the cereals. but the
cotton product will decline. Would
it not be well for our southern farm
ers to plant largely of corn and wheat
and oats this year and let cotton 90
by the board!

There appears to be some curiosity
to see whether Miss Ada c. Sweet,
the Chicago Pension Agent, knows
how to hold her tongue. She will
not be disturbed probably if she does
not do too much talking. 1t is said
that since it became apparent that
the President would not sustain Gen.
Black, the Commissioner of Pensions,
in his request for her resignation, she
has not been very discreet in her re-
marks about Gen. Black. As Gen.
Black is her superior officer, md as it
is necessary that discipline should be
preserved, she may furnish cause for
request for her resignation that will
be enforced.

UPSTAIRS.

THE New York Graphic very SEN
slbly argues that many of our rich
men need not be ashamed of being
called 'upstarts. In fact it is rath-
er creditable thing to be an upstart
in world full of downstairs. 1t is a
sign of an elastic and vigorous socie-
ty when men start with nothing and
end millionaires. The fact that our
social distinctions are based solely on
wealth does no injustice to anybody.
1t opens society to every man who
succeeds in collecting the requisite
amount Of tin. Now in a country
where birth, rank or talent deter
mine social status many persons start
IN lite well assured that they must
always remain in the lowest grade.
Here, however, every young man,
without regard to his antecedents,
station or mental capacity, looks for
ward to the accumulation of wealth
through hard work, business, specu-
lation for pure luck, and he knows
that when he has heaped up the
shekels the doors of the most exclus-
i've circles will be opened to him.
True, he may be disappointed in his
aspirations, but he has a right to
them, and they are to certain ex-
tent reasonable. Our young men
need not be afraid of being called
upstairs On the contrary, they
should at once begin to start up

The Boston Herald econ sentative
republican says: "A friend of the
president, who visited him recently.
reports that he is wholly undisturbed
by the evidence ofsurprise and anger
among the politicians of his party
over the appointments that he has
made and declined to make. Feeling
that upon himself rests the duty and
the responsibility offilling the offices.
and conscious Of seeking only the
public good in his selections, he is
disposed to let the other fellows do
the worrying. This is something
deeper than mere insensibility to
criticism, which might be a very Sc
rious defect in "A president. 1t is the
philosophy Of far-sighted politician
and the sign Of a stronger and more
self-poised leader than the democratic
party has had in recent years"

How WARS COME ABoUT.-Our
Mexican war began somewhat in the
same way as this which seems now to
be impending between Russia and
Great Britain. After the annexa-
ton Of Texas to the United States.
Mexico claimed that the river Nue.
ces was the southern line Of Texas
while we claimed that the true boun-
dairy was the Rio Grande. There was
"A broad strip Of disputed country be-
tween the two rivers. Our govern
ment sent troops into it to occupy it,
and Mexico sent an army into it u
resist. These got into collision, there
was smart fight at Palo Alto-and
then war was declared to exist by the
act Of Mexico. That is the way bic
wars come from small beginnings.

Penjdeh, the town from which the
Russians drove the Afghans, is in the
northwestern corner of Afghanistan,
and not far from Merry in Turkestan,
which the Russians have been hold

across the line is not great. The
ameer of Afghanistan (who is sort
of protege of Great Britain, though it

people like the British much is said
to have $1,000 men under arms, and
the English will rely on these and on
troops drawn from India, and perhaps
from the Soudan, to do most of the
fighting on land in Asia.
