Oh dear no the idea of an "old soldier" supporting Grant, when there are patriot* in the Democratic party wanting votes, would l»e preposterous, Our esteemed copper-buttoned contemporary of the Hub makes a law estimate of the intelligence of soldiers when it baits "that trap" with Democratic worm*, hoping to get them to bite.

DEAD-

Nearly twenty year* ago the cry of war filled oar broad land with perilous danger. Father and son, husband and brother, rushed to the rescue, that our flag might remain unfurled

Those brave men will always have a hallowed place in the public heart. Vitfo County can never forget with what jojousne*s the boy* of the Eleventh, Fourteenth, Thirty-first, Forty-third, Seventy-first, Eighty fifth and Ninetyseventh regiments rushed forth to say the Union shall be one.

We cannot well spare that picture, •when In the quiet dawn, with faces stained

tears,

Hff

FOR PRESIDENT

they

were torn from the

anns of those they loved. They are gone, and in a few short months a hundred cannon roar on fields where gullies run with blood. Death yawning! swallows old and young alike, and the next breath from the smoky clouds of battle wafts the sad news to broken hearts and shattered homes. The aged father bowed with the weight of yearn is prostrated under the sad, sad fate. The mother moves about the cold hearthstone wrapped In the agony that a mother only feels, and the young wife stricken with grief presses her babe to her bosom and through her tears sobs "God of battles why so sad to me." and for years in her delirium while the cold blasts of adversity whistle through the broken windows of joy she listens for foot steps hushed to death in swamps and prison graves.

Thus for years the dull thud of war made shattered links and desolate homes. But at last, peace spread her mantle over the Union of States, and our flag was left unfurled in the blue field of Heaven without a stain and without a slave.

The children of the silent dead have grown to manhood, and we want them to know that there is a difference between the graves of men who died thaj we might have a country, and those who died trying to destroy it.

The Southern fields are filled with Confederate dead. They died by the ruthless hand of war. Many of them died for what they thought was right, but they were mistaken. They fought for a mis taken idea, but they are dead. Let us not judge them too harshly.

Oiu: own brave boys wrapped them«elvS in the mantle of patriotism and died martyrs to liberty.

The time is coming when the North and South will meet and in the twilight of a better civilization will say, slavery was a curse, arid the war of the great Rebellion was a cruel, cruel wrong.

On next Saturday we will go out to mingle our tears with our buried dead. The warm breath of spring has bathed the grass and tiny vines until in ecstasy they'creep over the little mounds kissing the xllcnt dust.

We will bend over their graves, and .scatter for-get-me-nots moistened with the breath of sadne.^, and let them wither and die in the sunshine of our most holy affect ions. "MEN OF DE8TI1TY."

It is true that there are men in this world that are veritable favorites of fortune, but as a general rule those men achieve their greatness by their own genius. It is tme as stated by our "reduced sixe," that Cwsar was all conquerer until he crosacd the Rubicon, and that Napoleon Bonaparte was almost invincible until the snows of Russia had scattered his army like leaves before a storm. But we know that Ciesar was the greatest soldier of his time, and that Napoleon Bonaparte was the greatest soldier of his time.

Our "reduced size" seems to be trying to make the path of the great soldiers parallel with that of Gen. Grant, nnd infers that perhaps the third-torm campaign will be Grant's Rubicon or his frozen snow of Moscow. \Vhy not make the parallel with Alexander when he fought Danus or of Hannibal when be fought the battle of Canna-?

For keen cut logic there was never known the like of the article entitled "Men of Destiny" in the "reduced size" this morning. After saying that Grant was by luck taken from obscurity. «fcc, &c.. our "reduced size" says:

The country, in gratitude for his inestimable services, elected him to the presidency, and then re-elected him for another term He then retired to private life, and made a tour around the world during which he was the recipient of honors such as have never been given to any other of the world's great men. En* circling the globe be entered the Golden Gate and made a triumphal march acfem the continent, and received everywhere the utmost honor and homage from citizens without distinction of party.

That is just the reason the people want him. He Is the only man t» the United States that can command such honors for America, and yet our "reduced slue" talks of the third term being the Rubicon. Instead of being GranCt rublcoa, it will b« an aati iMrd term Thermopylae, It will be sinking the rock of Salatnis, and he will march oa to victory as safely and surely a# a ?parfan

Ir the action of the Grant men at StwingtSeW insures the defeat of thefy candidate, a* the TrUmm claims, what is It so mad about? Why doesst it gtj around and thank them?

Ml*

ADVICE to Blaine men from the Boston Adrcrtiter: "During the last month the champions of the Blaine movement have not been willing to allow a respectable motive to those who regarded Grant as the stronger candidate, or who might In & crisis accept him as the wiser choice. The t'me has now come when it will he expedient for them to lay aside their war-paint and prepare to support a candidate who has behind him as much statesmanship, intelligence, and honest patriotism as it is the fortune of any candidate to represent,"

THE Archbishop of the Syrians telegraphs to the United States legation at Constantinople from Moscal, that a terrible famine is raging. There is absolutely nothing to eat, and the inhabitants are dying by wholesale. Mr. Heck, charge d'affairs at Constantinople, says that the sufferings of these people are indescribably greater than anything of the kind in Ireland.

It would be a good Idea for the missionary bureau to stop sending Bibles to the heathen. There would be more of them saved if the Bibles were exchanged for corn meal and potatoes.

THE Inter Ocean is literally beside itself in its vociferations in attempts to save the "Grant boom" from absolute decadence. —Jiaeenport Gatdte.

Yes, and it is "beside" millions of the best and truest men in the Republican party. Just wait until the 2d of June,\ and see about the "absolute decadence." The editor of the Qautu had better stuff cotton in his ears, and fill his pockets with pig-iron for ballast—r Omin.

Yes, and we would recommend the same treatment to our "reduced size" of the Exprt*».

WE call attention to the new advertisement of George Stinson & Co., Portland, Maine, Art Publishers. They publish every description of fine pictures, and the prices range from ten cents to $20. They publish however, only the better class of pictures, and it is well known that anything coming from this reliable house is of standard merit. We have just received copies of four very fine steel engravings which they have just brought out. The plates were engraved in London at an expense of four thousand pounds sterling or $20,000, to which the great sum of 25 per cent, is added as custom duty for importation into the United States.

George Stiuson & Co. may, we feel sure, fairly claim to stand at the head of the Art Publishing business in America.

COMMUNISM doesn't thrive will in France under the Republic. A cjegionstration near the Place de la Bastille, famous as a rendezvous of malcontents, was put down the other day by the police. No troops were needed. Under the Empire, fear of ementes and insurrections in that quarter of Paris led to the demolition of many rows of buildings, and to the widening of streets, that they might be swept with artillery. Not a musket is now needed to put down the discontented and the fanatic. The policeman's club is sufficient. It is as true of France as of our own country, that the largest freedom compatible with order and public tranquility takes from insurrection its fangs, and from discontent its revolutionary appe tite.'

Sunday evening a severe cyclone struck the town of Mitchell, Dakota, killing several persons and tearing the village to pieces. These cyclones are terri ble agents of destruction and at last wc arc likely to have a settlement made of the disputes between meteorologists as to what they arc, and their origin. Some of the late "windstorms" in the West are ascribed by Prof. Tice to electricity, pure and simple, and a property owner in Wis consin, whose house was insured against lightning, has brought suit to recover for Its destruction in the great storm of 1878. The Courts will thus be called upon to decide whether what we have heretofore thought was wind is in reality an electri cal disturbance. Prof. Tice, who has been making observations along the path of the recent Marshfield tornado, says there was no wind, and that the damage done was all due to electricity. Some of his alleged observations are certainly very curious, such, for instance, as these that while houses with metal roofs were damaged or destroyed, equally exposed house* with shingle roofs were left uninjured that the damage on their houses was directly proportioned to the amount of exposed metal used in their construction that the hark front trees was stripped all around them and the ends of branches were torn into ribbons, and most curious of all. that dead and dry limbs were left uninjured* while green hraacbes in their immediate vicinity were shattered. It would really be entertaining to have Prof. Tice and oilier meteorologists called as expert* in the Wisconsin insurance cases.

Grant and the Press,

General Grant is the only lit candidate for the Presidency.—Jf««e York Herald. The election of General Grant to the Presidency seems now to be conceded by his bitterest enemies.— TWO.

The Grant men of Illinois have great powers of endurance. We admire their Forty two-d.—Burlington Uawkeye

No political event can be much more certain than that General Grant will be the nominee of the Republican party for President of the United States.—Net York Time*.

Mr. Blaine was, years ago, a teacher of the blind in Philadelphia, and now he is a leader of the blind all over the country. There are more blind men in the literary bureaus than in any blind asylum, and the worst is they can't be taught anything. —St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The spirit of the Illinois convention was indicated by the graded applause with which certain names were greeted in General Raum's speech. Sherman was applauded with some warmth Blaine with greater heartiness but when Grant's name was mentioned there was a perfect storm of enthusiasm, long and loud, and again and again repeated.—iWw York Herald.

While the Blaine men at Springfield made a great fuss about taking their medicine, after it was fairly swallowed they seemed to think, on the whole, that it was a good thing for the country. Seriously, the Blaine men who got beat at Springfield were in a good deal better humor in the end than the Blaine people appear to IK? who were uot at the capital to witness the proceedings of the convention.— Quitiey Whig.
