The New York World which ought to be
pretty good authority in such matters reports
that the President is about to remove promi-
nent Republican Office holders with all posi-
BILE dispatch. Whether confidential circu-
lar has been issued addressed to trusty
Democrats in all the states urging them
to hunt up evidence of Offensive PARTISAN
ship and forward it to the White House
forthwith, or not, is not stated. Probably
not, however, for Postmaster General Vilas's
circular was all the stimulus needed in that
direction. The Worlds story if true in
dcates that the administration has either
got tired of wearing the civil service reform
mask or has discovered what everybody else,
but the Mugwumps, saw long ago, that the
mask is too thin to hide its real features.
This is something to be thankful for 1t will

Much to the disgust, no doubt, of our es-
teemed Democratic contemporaries the trip
of the Dolphin on Thursday was a perfect
success. She not only made the requisite
number of miles per hour but more.
There never was any ground for condemna-
ton of the vessel, such as the Democratic
press has INDUCED in on account of the acct
dents her previous trials. The heating of a
journal is an accident of frequent occurrence,
especially in the ease of new machinery, and
no engineer except of the kind that run the
scientific columns of Democratic newspa-
pers, ever considered it serious or as show
ing faulty construction.

1t is pleasing TO know that Mr.. ]. l..
Meade who was chairman of the meeting
that endorsed the murder of Matthews at
Hazelhnrst, Miss, is not to be postmaster of
that town after all. The ground on which
his commission is revoked is variousIy stat
ed. One report says it is because the Ad-
ministration does not want to mix up in the
local political quarrels of the South, fearing,
perhaps, if it does, it may be shot at, while
another ascTibes it to an investigation of the
Matthews tragedy, and the conviction
thereby. on the part of the President,
that Meade is, morally at least, guilty of the
crime of murder. One effect of the revoca-
ton of the commission will be to put the
Belfast Age, which in its last issue published
an elaborate defence of the appointment, in
a very awkward prelicament.

sacrificed their lives to preserve intact the
republic bequeathed to us by our forefathers.
Twenty years have passed away since the

gigantic struggle which closed at Appomat-
tox, but the nations gratitude to the men
who fell upon the battlefield beneath the
deadly hail of leaden bullets or persisted from
disease contracted in their country's service
still remains undated. There are as yet no
signs that the prediction that as the years
rolled by the American people would be-
come Indifferent to their heroic dead and
gradually cease to lay the flowers of spring
time upon their graves, is to be verified, and

A BRETON MARRIAGE.

Atypical Breton (France) wedding is as
curious as it is improvident. So poor
often are the young pair that the only
way they can set up housekeeping is by
presents from their friends of food, flax,
furniture and money. The youth desir-
Gus of matrimony simply offers his

wagon ladened with the trousseau.
This consists of Il press, a bed-stead like
wardrobe Shutting up entirely, with
only fretwork for ventilation), a cask OF
cider, a churn, II porridge-pot, and a
bundle of faGgots. On the top of this
load two maiIens are seated, one spin
ming hemp and the other flax. The bride
shows her fine breeding by making her
friends drag her to church. On either
side of the altar burns wax taper, and
it is expected that whoever of the two is
next to the less brilliant light will die
first. The bride, on leaving the church
is presented with distaff to remind her
of her duties. Triple, butter, buck
wheat, bread and cider form the mar
riage feast, toward which each guest
pays his share. During the meal the
bridegroom disappears to purloin
mattress if he be caught in the act, it
is pulled to pieces. Finally the bell
ringers initiate the bag-pipes, and on
new-mown field dancing is led off by the
bridegroom. At night, according to an
ancient custom, the mother gives her
daughter a handful of nuts. The happy
pair are serenaded as they retire, and
are served with soup containing crusts

GRANT IN MEXICO.

A correspondent says: Some time
since, in speaking with Capt. II. L.
Shields, of Troy, N. "a most gallant
officer of the army in the war with
Mexico-of Gen. Grant, the Captain
narrated ON instance of the great SOL
diers heroism at the capture of the City
of Mexico. The Captain is now OF his
summer home at Bennington, and we
telegraphed him request to write for
us some "reminiscences of the deceased
General This the Captain has done
with characteristic elegance of diction.
but with the brevity of soldier. Capt.
Shields tribute to Grant in the closing
lines is rs pointed as 1t is brief:
81 was n cadet ut West Point during
part of tho time that U. S. Grant was
there-my senior by few years. He
was then u quiet, modest young man,
with no enemies, and but few intimate
personal friends. He was remarkable
only as bold, fearless horseman. He
rode the three quarter bred chestnut
horse York, noted ut the Military Acad-
envy in those days as IN animal of great
courage and style and q remarkable
jumper. 1 have seen Cadet Grant, in
the riding hall, take York flying leap

dragons of ordinary height.

army This brigage took the advance in
the Valley of Mexico ON one of the cause
ways leading to the capital of that
country. When nearing the city we
found the approaches SO well swept by
artillery in intrenchments' as to check
our advancing columns. Night closed
on us after the days fighting. with our,
brigade resting on its arms and some-
what doubtful of our successful entry
into the city the next day. Lieut.. Grant,
(as I understood at the time), without
orders and at great personal peril, took
few soldiers, and with axes and picks
actually chopped his way through tho
walls of the buildings OH the side of this
avenue, until lie reached the rear of the
Mexican batteries which enfiladed the
street, when, by few we'll directed
n,usketry shots from the Lousetops, the
cannoneers were driven from their posts
and abandoned their guns and so opened
the way for our troops. Thus, much
of tho credit of the capture of the
halls of the Montczumas with SO little
loss was due to the reckless bravery
and cool Judgment of the late earnest,
honest, just, and truly great soldier,

Western Editors Opinion.

From the Butte tArizOnal Journal
We were in Al BlOdgett' : saloon this
week giving our views on CleveIand's
cabinet and in other respects minding
our business when GringO Baker came
in and said we were a liar We denied
the charge and told him he was no
gentleman. At this juncture, had we
not quickly lodged, he would have
knocked us down; as it was he only
grazed our nose. Knowing him to be
drunk. and therefore helpless, we dart
ed out OF the saloon and ran to our
office with as much celebrity as our
game leg would allow and locked our
selves in our sanctum. Had we not
thus nObly refrained from combat we
would soon have wiped the floor with
GringO Baker And yet we under
stand that heca.s us red-nosed cow
ard. We are quite content to be mis-
understood by such men, and we reit-
crate IN this public manner our views
on the cabinet, for which Gringo called
us a liar. We believe it should con
