Mr.. AMBROSE CHAPMAN, of Waterbury
Conn, is trying TO break the record of Tom
Ochiltree as the champion liar of America.
Mr.. Chapman says that the reason sheep are
seldom harmed by rattlesnalles il that when
they discover one they all surround il and
breathe upon il, and their breath paralyzes
and finally kills it. MIR. Chapman starts in
well. We do not recall any of Mr.. ochil-
trees most finished productions that equals
this fmt public effort of the Connecticut
amateur.

1T WOULD not be at all surprising if the
deposition Of Prince Alexander of Bulgaria
precipitated European war. The provinces
along the Lower Danube have been fruitful
source of contention among the European
Powers for nearly 200 years, and the quarrel
has never been settled and never will be set
tied until Russia secures Constantinople, Or
is in some effectual way forever debarred
from entertaining hopes of securing it.
Every few years war breaks out and RACES
with moro or less violence, until the danger
of general war intervening frightens those
not engaged in the fight, so that they compel
the patching mp of peace. 1t looks very
hard now for Russia TO get out of the trouble
into which she has thrust herself without
fighting. Collision between her and England
may occur at any day.

sECOuLECTIONS OF GEN. GRANT.
BY His SOn---COl. +. D. Grant.

We take pleasure in announcing 10 our
readers the early appearance of a series Of
articles from the pen of Col. Fred Grant,
who writes his recollecnons of the Viclls-
burg Campaign. He accompanied has father
on that memorable campaign through all it's
weary marches, desperate battles and the
long siege which eliminated July 4, 1868.
IL is wonderfully interesting, full of the
adventures of boy who was thrown into
the midst of wonderful scenes filed with
untold dangers and novel horrors 10 the
mind Of youth just from the quiet circle
of the home ireside.
Col. Grant tells many things interesting
and significant for mature readers, while 20
the boys his narrative viii prove thrilling
beyond description here. While the story
is plain history of what he saw aud heard
at his fathers headquarters and on the bat
tle6eld and bivOuac, il reads like a romance.
more entertaining than anything from the
pen Of Peter Farley OF Capt. Mayne Reade.
The National tribune., 1886-09-02
Ex-PRIsoNERs OF WAR.

We regard it as highly important that
every man who suffered imprisonment at
the hands of the rebels should now make
himself known and be placed on record.
Thanks TO the persistent and well-directed
efforts Of the comrades at the head of the
Ex-Prisoners of War Association, the people
generally are much more in favor of doing
justice TO this most worthy class Of our ex-
soldiers than they have ever been. Congress
has been strongly impressed by the unan-
swerable arguments addressed TO it last
Winter by Comrades Longenecker, Mack.
Gessner and others, and its temper is favor
able TO proper pension legislation.
There is every reason to hope that by ex-
tending the organization so as to embrace
every surviving ex-prisoner, and by continu-
ing the effort with the weight and impetus
of added numbers, the passage OF the Morrill,
bill at the coming session may be secured.
But prompt, active work all over the
country is necessary to accomplish this. 1t
is but three months now until Congress
meets, and this is but q short time, consider
ing what is to be done.
The first step is TO find out who are ex-
prisoners in every community, and to enroll
them into organizations Every County in
the loyal States should have an organization
Of this kind before the end of September,
which will include every ex-prisoner in the
County. As this is q matter in which all
are equally interested, ii ought to be no
trouble in the world 10 make this organi-
cation, and few active comrades in each
County can have all their fellow prisoners
residing in the County enrolled and organ
lied inside of a week or two. A notice read
in the GAR. Posts and published in the
County papers, and little inquiry, will
bring out everybody who is eligible for
membership. When there are State Associ-
atoms, as there are in most OF the States
these organizations should be made under
their auspices, and report directly to them
In States where no Associations exist COM
munications should besent to John McEroy
President of the National Association
Washington, ID. C.
Let us repeat our urgent advice to every
ex-prisoner to 90 TO work at once in this
matter, for it admits of no delay. Hunt up
every other ex-prisoner in the County and
get him into a local association. Get him
where he can be counted, and where he can
be made useful when the time comes for
urging the claims of ex-prisOners upon Con.
gressmen, upon officials, and upon the pub.
lie. Let everybody wake up and 60 tc
work, and the end is certain.
The National tribune., 1886-09-02

THE comrades of the New York and
Brooklyn Bureaus of Employment and
Emergency Fund have hit upon q new
scheme which promises to put much money
into their exchequers. They have made an
arrangement with the firm of s. P. Lillien-
thai, Tobacco Manufacturer, $50 Greenwich
street, New York, by which he agrees to put
on the market superior article of fne-cut,
tin-foil, chewing tobacco, branded "Hayer-
sack" the price to be five cents package,
and they to use their influence to get the to-
baeco-chewing comrades of the country to
use it and to get their friends to do the same.
Mr.. Lillienthal gives them a royalty on
every package that is sold. We trust that
the brand will have an enormous sale.
The National tribune., 1886-09-02

WE earnestly hope that the Republicans
Of the Eighth District of Michigan will
nominate Hon. r G.. Horn by reclamation.
1t is beyond all question the best thing they
can do-nOt only in partisan sense, but for
higher and better reasons. 1t is the best
they can do for the country at large to send
back to Congress man whose natural great
ability has been fortified and strengthened
by the experience in public affairs that Mr..
HOrr has had. He is as honest and jealous
as he is able, and the ex-sOldiers can have no
better or more valuable friend on the floor
of the House than he is. The Republican
veterans of his district should muster in
force at the convention and make sure of his
enthusiastic nomination.

cure better union of some kind, and favored
whatever seemed likely to promote arrival
at satisfactory agreement by the Conven-
tion.
Finally draft was adopted Sept. II, and
with it a resolution asking the Continental
Congress to submit it to Conventions of the
several States for ratification, which was
done.
A sharp canvass followed in all the States,
the people dividing into Federalists," Who
favored the new Constitution, and "Anti-
Federalists," who opposed it. 1t is men
toned as a remarkable fact that all the
friends of the new Constitution resided
within so miles of the sea-coast, and about
all its enemies outside of that boundary.
This was because of the protection to COM
merce which it promised. The farmers felt
that they were likely to be injured by il
and resisted it. Delaware ratified Dec. z,
1857, unanimously. Pennsylvania, Dec. IL,
by majority of two to one. New Jersey,
Dec Is, unanimously. Georgia, Jan. 2, 1873,
unanimously. She was induced to this by
the beliefthat the new Nation would give her
protection against the Southern Indians.
Maryland and Connecticut gave their con-
sent because they expected good terms for a
large amount of territory they claimedin the
West. South Carolina had then most of her
wealth in commerce, and she ratified by q
vote of 149 to 49, The Massachusetts
farmers resisted stubbornly under the lead
of Samuel Adams, and only yielded when a
compromise was agreed upon. In Virginia
the fight was long and bitter, the Federalists
being led by James Madison, John Marshall
and Edmund Randolph, who had again
changed front. The Anti-Federals, who ap-
pealed to State pride, were led by James
Monroe and Patrick Henry. The State
finally ratified by vote of SO to 70. North
Carolina refused to ratify, and Rhode Island,
whose people were wild on a paper currency
that speedily became worthless, rejected
the Constitution by decided vote In New
York the farmer delegates thought the better
policy was to continue in the Confederacy,
whereby the city of New York would con-
tinue to raise all the revenue needed to carry
on the State Government from the export
and import duties, and so save any taxation
on farms. The Anti-Federalists were in a
strong majority, but after New Hampshire
and Virginia came into line New York gave
a qualified ratification, which was rejected,
and finally ratified By vote of 81 to 90
New Hampshire's ratification gave the neces-
sary nine States, which were to make the
Constitution effective, and then the rest saw
that it was their best policy to come into the
Union.
1t is pIoposed to celebrate the centennial
of the Constitution next year in appropriate
style. New Jersey, which was so prompt to
ratify it, leads off in this movement. Last
June her Legislature passed resolution
calling for meeting of the Governors of the
13 States ut Carpenters Hall, Philadelphia,
the 18th of next month, to make arrange
ments for the celebration next year. Already
quite program has been marked out for the
celebration.
