Like GARFIELD, Gen. GRANT is wasting
away. Inability to sleep and complete loss
al appetite indicate that the end Is near, and
q collapse may happen at any hour. The
members Of hts distressed family gather
around him, and with fearful ewes watch and
wait FOR the inevitable. There is something
touchineIy beautiful in the constant atten-
tons paid by InA GRANT to her father-in-
law. In her tender devotion and fidelity is
recalled the story Of RUrH.
The recent mistortunes through which
Gen. GRANT has passed seem u have

TECHNICAL 1om-roo1ERY.

It is pity that in communicating the de-
tails of a case In which the public feels an
interest that doctors could not drop technical
terms and express themselves in language
understood by the common mass OF people.
In reporting the difficulties in the way of
performing surgical operation for the re-
lief Of Gen. GRANT our dispatches announce
that the result Of the conference among the
consulting physicians was that the
operation ''would involve the division OF the
lower jaw in the medium line, the extirpa-
ton of the entire tongue and greater part of
the soft palate, together with the removal Of
liberated and influrated fauees and in
durated glandular structures under the right
angle of the lower jaw" How much easier
it would have been to express it in good old
Anglo-Saxon, something like this: "The
modus operandi would necessitate an invo-
luton requiring division into distinct
segments of the neither chouwe in
line dividing the gotta longi-
tudinaly and symmetrically in dues parties,
the extirpation omnis lingual, and major
portion of the mellow batschen, together with
the liberated and infiltrated portions of the
terminal conjunction of the pharynx and lar
ynx." or as Northwestern hardy foot would
say it. split the jawbone right in the middle,
swab off the tongue and throat and cut out
the cancer.

As UfsE AS WISE CAV RE

There is so much wisdom in what the Bal
timore News says concerning the business
situation in that city We feel impelled to call
the attention of our own business men to its
words. The News SAYS:
whilst Baltimore has lately had more than a
fair share OF the disconragng effects OF the dull
spell aud has therefore, been peculiarly depres sed
there is no reason for q continuance OF the feel
ing whatever. The spring trade is developing,
and Is heralded by symptoms who should coun-
teract the bad effects of recent failures. Let the
enterprise and pluek aud energy of eur business
houses show themselves now. Ii is no credit
to man to boom his buRess when there IL a
general boom. But whetoihers are blue and
depressed. aud when real courage ard vim is re-
Quired, then is the time for the merchant and
manufacturer to display his individuality
and to strike out with credit The man who
shows his nerve and intelligence in
seasons like this not only reaps Il rich reward
MIN. of and comes into the prosperous era ahead
Of his competitors. but he has the happy con
seriousness OF having helped TO creste the very
condition he enjoys and to have led the van TO a
business revival.
Now is the chance for the enterprisfng and in
seIugeut business man. Now is the time to dis
play stocks and advertise them. When business

necessary. Il il when business is bad thst the
sagaclous merchant wants to call the attention
Of the public 10 his stock. so that what trade Is

is waiting to be invited viii derive tie first in
pulse from him. At the threshold OF spring 4.
the time for the judicious merchant 20 invite the
public to his plaee, and thus start the impulse
that will most certainly awaken general bust
ness boom"
Let The business men Of St Paul aud Min
neapolis initiate the example Of their brethren
in Baltimore aud other cities and by judicious
advertising help the business activity they
so ariently desire.

POOR GRANT.
Hosc the Great Hero Is Spending His La.
Hours

HosU the Great Hero is Spending His Last
Hours.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Gen. Grant has been reported not to ap-
preciate the fact that he must soon die. This
is Misrepresentation The grim old hero of
Shiloh and the wilderness fully understands
that he has a few weeks only at most in
which to live. and TO his intimate friends he
speaks of it with the same freedom and in
the same matter OF fact manner that he dis
cusses his intentions with respect to his din
ner or the condition of his digestion. 1t is
indeed eminently characteristic Of the man
that he faces death in this stolid and unmoved
manner. If left to himself he would not live
four DAYS He is very weak and is indisposed
to take any nourishment whatever, because
of pain produced by swallowing and because
he has no appetite. Despite all efforts by
those who care for him he at times refuses to
eat for two days together. Then the mem
bers of his family gather around him and beg
of him for their happiness and peace of
mind to take nourishmcnt. He consents
and endures the painful ordeal. For a time
he is exhausted by the effort but in au hour
or two he begins to mend and then he i'm
proves very rapidly, until his system begins
to call out again for food, and he grows
worse again rapidly, until the persuasion of
his family again prevails and he takes more
food. He knows perfectly well that he can
not survive four weeks more, and his distant
friends have been summoned to take final
farewell of him. If Grant was religious
man be would be Methodist or a Presbyte-
rian, but he frankly says that he had no es-
pecial religious training in early youth and
be has not studied the subject sufficiently in
his later life to form any opinion as to what
he does believe. He believes that there Is a
God and hereafter, but he is not prepared
to say that he believes in the extreme posi-
ton taken by most Protestants. that the I'M
con vertec and the Indifferent will be eternally
tormented. If Grants position, with refer
ence TO religion, could be defined IL might be
expressed as a condition of Indifference.
He doesn't apparently bother himself in the
least about the life hereafter, seemingly will
ing to take his chances with the millions who
have gone before him. He has consequently
not desired to talk upon the subject to clergy
men, and as yet no clergyman has called
upon him 10 offer or explain the consola-
tons Of belief in the Christian religion. The
only clergyman with whom Grant was ever
intimate was the Rev. j. p Newman, his
old pastor in Washington, and late his pastor
in New York city. All Of Gen. Grants family
are now with him, or within call, except his
daughter Nellie, who married the English
man Sartoris. She has been summoned
and Is probably now on her way, with her
children. She Is the Generals favorite
child, and he has kept calling for her and
IN sisting that she must come to him ever
since the gravity Of the situation became

OUTSTANDING " fTIONdL BANK
NnTES

Every, month the comptroller of the cur
rency issues statement showing the amount
of national bank notes outstanding at differ
ent dates, the first of these dates invariably
being June 20, 1874. The Pittsburg Post
says the reason for starting at that point is
that sit is the time when an act of congress
was approved providing that the banks might
retire circulation and take up the bonds de-
posted bv them to secure the same upon the
deposit of an equal amount of greenbacks.
For about four years prior to that date the
aggregate amount of notes that could lawfully
be issued had been limited to 1854, OOO. 600,
and prior to 1870 it had been limited to
$500, 900, 900. 1t would not seem amiss,
therefore, to make the act of 1870, which in
creased the maximum limit, the starting
point of the statement. However, taking it
as is, the statement shows that the total
amount of notes outstanding on the goth OF
June, 1874 was approximately $3.50, 600, 600.
On the 18th of January, 1875, it was approx
imately 1852, 100000. The reason for
taking this date as the second land
mark is that it is the date OF
tlS dppTONal VI tllc dCG pIOFIuluS AOA tlC ~
sumption of specie payments, which act re-
moved all limitations upon the aggregate
amount of circulation which might be issued
upon depositing the requisite amount OF
bonds. Notwithstanding this liberty to issue
without limit, the aggregate amount out
standing had been reduced to about 1922
500, 900 by the 31st of May, 1878 This date
is selected because it was then that the low
est ebb in the National bank circulation was
reached since about two years after the pass
age of the act of 1870. At the date of the
last statement the amount outstanding was
about 1924, 900. 900. The decrease in the
total during March was about 81, 24O, 600.
During the twelve months ending March 81,
the decrease was about s21, 743, 900. This
decrease during a period of twelve months
was offset, with more than S6,000,00O to
boot, by the coinage of more than 2S,000,000
of silver dollars. There was really expan-
sion, therefore, instead of contraction, dur
ing the twelve months.''

which inspired the disarming of the local
organizations is bearing its legitimate fruits
in the utter inability of the people to defend
themselves against the threatened uprising.
But it is perhaps only temporary scare per-

in that line of amusement.

AT conference of literary men, lawyers
and clergymen, in New York the other day,
the general topic of discussion was language.
Most OF the speakers deplored the use of
slang, and expressed the hope that the ugly
slang word ''mugwump" would fall into dis
use. Only one vigorous champion of slang
dared to lift his voice in opposition to the
galaxy Of pundits. That was Rev. Robert
CoLLYER, the distinguished pulpit orator, who
declared that often when travelling in the
West it was his custom to go into the smok-
ing car just to hear the mighty, uncouth, ex-
pressive terms used by the unfettered Wes-
terners. The English language, he thought,
must have room to grow. "When we see,"
he said, "a word conn acted like rifle bullet
going to the mark, and all the world cries
out that it is inelegant, let US reply that if it
is not English to-day it will be Tomorrow
