Grants Love for His Daughter.

Pittsburg Times.
Il Ia no wonder that the arrival Of Nellie
Grant Sartoris has revived her fathers spirits.
Nellie Grant was her fathers favorite child and
she was Q lovely girl. Being the only daughter,
De not only set great store by her. but had high
ambition for her future. Even at the moment
when her heart was going out to Sartoris her
father was hoping that her life might be
prominent and useful one in this land. When
Miss Nellie came to the White House she was
still In short dresses, and hence it is seen that
she married very young Probably no young
lady In Washington society at any time was
ever more highly respected or more sincerely
loved than was Nellie Grant She was bright
winning, affable. discreet and generous to all.
No ladies who have occupied the White House
had more true friends than Mrs Grant and this
daughter 1t was but natural, then, that the
sturdy old warrior should expect to see one
of his own countrymen, one OF its
bravest and best, lead this favored child

much. This was unreasonable aspiration
and her preference for SIR. Sartoris was natur-

announced that this favored American girl was

entire circle who enjoyed her companionship.
But. while the father grieved he threw nc
obstacles in the way of his daughters choice, and
the marriage took place. 1t is said by those
nearest to the family that her going to foreign
land increased rather than decreased the fathers
affection, and that as soon as his malady began

Church VS.. Roller-Rink.

WHEELING. w. Va, March 22--On Saturday
the trustees of the United Presbyterian Church
filed a petition with Judge Kelly against the
managers of the roller-skating rink. alleging
that the noise and confusion made at the rink,
which is in close proximity to the church, so Sc
riously interfered with their long, established
weekly afternoon and evening worship that they
would have to be abandoned or tae rink closed
on these occasions. They therefore asked the
intervention of the court. Judge Kelly granted
q temporary injunction restraining the defend
ants from opening the rink on the occasion
prayed for until the case is finally determined.
The proceeding is attracting considerable atten-
ton hereabouts.

THE SALVATION ARMY.
An Unmixed Mischief in its Bizarre Methods
and Purposes.

Ney York Times
The Salvation Army seems to be organized
for the purpose of applying the methods of the
variety show to the propagation or Christianity.
1t undertakes to minister to the same craving
for vulgar modes of excitement, and in so far as
its members are sincere, to override the result
ing excitement to the moral welfare of the
patient. This is what is also attempted in
manner, by camp meetings and religious re-
vivals, and there are places called churches
which are permanently managed upon this
principle. In rustic communities the ordinary
round of life makes no provision for the human
need of excitement Religious revivals,
doubt, there inject want" and supply in
mand that in cities is met by theatres
and operas and for more cultivated people is met
by literature. The success of rural revivals
is often great, and is easily Ineligible. Even
people distrust the results upon the character
of professions made in haste and under an ac-
cess of sudden emotion. and the results seem to
bear them up.
Ordinary religious revivals are very far from
being on the same plane with the operations of
the Salvation Army while such religious meet
ings as those held by Mr.. Moody do not come
into comparison with it at all. Mr.. Moody is an
earnest man, thoroughly convinced both Of the
truth and of the Importance of what he has to
tell, and apparently acting under a solemn sense
of responsibility. The vulgarty and indecency
which characterize and indeed constitute the
methods of the Salvation Army cannot be
charged upon him or upon any man like him.
The whole procedure of the army seems to be
based upon perversion of Wesley's famous say
ing so as to make it read that the devil should
not have all the bad tunes
The natural man is instructed that he can be-
come, under the auspices of the army, as good
Christian as anybody else without becoming
whit more decent. considerable, or gentle than if
he continued to take his pleasure in concert sa-
looms instead of in meeting for prayer and
praise In word, the Salvation Army holds
that man need not be civilized in order to be
Christanized, The experience of missionaries
among barbarians in foreign count ries does not
bear out this view. They find that some degree
of civilization is necessary, even to acomprehen-
sion of Christianity 1t would be strange if a
method inapplicable in foreign countries should
prove to be available in converting the barbar-
GUS classes in civilized countries. The Salvation
Army is trying to conduct Christian revival in
England and America in the same riotous way in
which the Mahdi is carrying on q Mohammedan
revival in the Soudan. What the Salvation
Army does, so far as it does anything, is to
harden its converts in the belief that they are as
we'll off, in moral and religious aspect, as if
they were orderly and decent people, and that
bowling rowdy may be an exemplary Chris
tian. This effect Of it's lahors is unmixed
mischief

The White House Ladies Republican.

Special to Courier-JournaI.
The latest story in circulation, which argues
very forcibly the dull times here, is that both
of the Presidents sisters, Mrs. Hoyt and Miss
Cleveland. are Republicans. The fact it Is said
was ascertained in this way: The other day q
sympathies called npon MISS Cleveland and Mrs
Hoyt, and was introduced by a lady friend from
Albany. The lady in question proceeded to ex-
press her delight in coming there under such
auspices and raised her hands in exultation as
she exclaimed This is what have been wait
ing for for twenty years-to find the Democrats
in possession of the White House." Whereupon
their Albany friend broke in upon her with an
equally forcicle exclamation and said:
.'Oh. you must not talk that way to Miss
Cleveland and Mrs. Hoyt Don't you know they
are both RepublicansP

New Orleans, 1885.

A queen of Incidence and idle grace
ROBBED in the remnants of costly gown.
She turns the langiior of her lovely face
Upon Progression, with lazy frown.
Her throne is built upon marshy down;
Malarial MOSES wreathe her like old lace.
With thin crossed feet unshod, and bare, and brown
She sits indifferent to the worlds swift race.
Across the seas there stalks an ogre grim.
Too listless she. for even Fears alarms,
While frightened nations rally in defense,
She lifts Der smiling creole eyes to him.
And. reaching out her shapely unwashed arms,
She clasps her rightful lover-Pestilence.

In an interview at Chicago, Steph-
en- B. Elkins commended the position
taken by Senator Sherman in his Ohio
speeches, and said: "The price OF
labor has come to be computed on the
basis Of what it costs the laborer to
live, a situation which cannot endure
with a degree Of education prevailing
in this country. But with education
comes the power of cooperation and
combination, placing capital and labor
as two great antagonistic bodies, whose
constant friction must Of necessity pro-
duce fire. These great interests, so de-
pendent must be made to work in har-
mony for the good Of each. To do
this is the mission Of the Republican
party, whose future, if she takes up
her duty, will be still more grand"

tor Of the Pioehe Record delivers him
self of the following: The dear
brethren of Zion are again supplying

the belief within US that the Mormons
were created for the benefit Of the Gen
tiles, and that the Gentiles were created
for the benefit Of the Mormons. The
Mormons till the soil and raise produce
for the Gentiles, and the Gentiles blast
the rock and dig out silver for the Nor

"A RoMATic love story is at present
going the rounds Of the Italian papers.
In 1881 a young merchant Of Boulogne
fell in love with a beautiful girl, who
reciprocated his feelings. But the
young man was so absurdly jealous that
the girl concluded the only way to make
him more reasonable would be to break
the engagement and keep him at dis.
lance for a while. But this only in
creased his passion, and one day after
being again refused he pulled out re-
volver and shot her. The shot was not
fatal, but the girl was i'll for long
time, while her lover was sentenced to
twelve years imprisonment. Recently
the girl has been visiting the prisoner,
and the other day she informed her
parents that she had made up her mind
to marry her lover, notwithstanding all
that has happened, and in prison. The
ceremony was performed without oppo-
sition, and petition is now in circula-
ton to secure pardon for the young
merchant.

THE GRANT BILL.
What General Slocum Has to Say About
the Bill to Retire General Grant.

What General Slocum Has to Say About
the Bill to Retire General Grant.
WASHINGTON, January 29.-General Slo-
cum, speaking of the prospects of getting
General Grant upon the retired list of the
army, said there were pending two bills
which had that object in view. The first
which mentions General Grant by name
passed the Senate with only one dissenting
vote. The second, which was so framed as
to avoid the difficulty expressed'in the veto
of the Fitz John Porter bill, passed the
Senate while General Slocum, under in
structions from the Military Committee of
the House, was awaiting an opportunity to
bring the first bill before that body. "Some
friends of General Grant," said Representa-
tive Slocum, wanted me to call up the Sec
ond bill instead of the first, which, Of course,
/ could not do, as was acting under in.
structions from my committee. The House
Committee then took up the two bills and
discussed them fully, and the question was
whether the instructions which already had
been given me should be changed, and
should be instructed to bring up the second
bill or not. Every Democrat on the commit
tee, and one-half the Republicans present.
voted not to change the instructions, but
to have me call up the original bill. That
l was prepared to do a week ago to-day,
and should have called it up, and think il
would have passed had it not been for dila,
tory motions which were made and sus-
tanned by both Democrats and Republicans.
am told there is a movement on foot to
call up the second bill by Mf. Randall, if he
can get the floor. The difficulty is in get
ting The floor and the suspension of the
rules, which requires two-thirds vote.
The whole question is simply whether Con-
gress shall deviate from its usual course in
this bill in order to comply with the Presi.
dents views, or whether it shall pass the
bill in the form it has always been in the
habit of doing. The question is whether
the Democrats are going to deviate from the
custom of Congress i'm order to accommo-
date themselves to the Presidents objection
or whether they will pass the bill in the
usual form. My preference is decidedly for
the bill in the usual form. but l will sup
port either bill. The good feeling of the
House Committee toward General Grant is
shown by the fact that it instructed me to
bring up the first bill before the second was
ever introduced or thought of. This shows
the committee to be earnestly in favor of re-
firing General Grant and that the present
muddle is no trick to defeat the measure,
as many people seem to think"
