Cincinnati Times and Chronicle al

ludes to Fred Grant as offering an interesting case to the supporters of hereditery characteristics For some reason not throughly explained, Fred was griev ed with one of his classmates, as the story goes, and proceeded to whip him cost him a week in bed, and a false tooth The moment he was convalescent he tried it over, with the same result. The third time he was worse fanged than ever but on the fourth, being used to it, he went through his belligerent comrade in away that was the admiration of the whole academy. Fighting it out on that line seems to run in the family.

The

leading Democratic organ of the

West, the Cincinnati Enquirer, has been engaged in close observation of the shad ows of coming events, and pats itsconclu sions in the form of a brief parable which reads thus: "The Whig party in 1852 made their platform as near like the Democratic as possible. They died that year That was their last appearance in politics." The Chicago Republican says the Enquirer modestly omits the "moral,' but it is "an inference that a horse might draw." The Democratic party in 1S71-2 will make their platform an em bodiment of Republican doctrine, and that will be their last appearance in politics. And the country will manage to bear the result with equanimity.

Two characteristic lies—no other term is applicable—concerning the President are now circulating through the Demo cratic press. First it is charged that he has appointed a son of Brigham Young to a cadetship at West Point, and next that he refused a similar appointment to a son of the brave and gifted Meagher, The facts are that the son of Brigham was appointed by delegate Hooper of Utah and that the President, having been re quested to appoint young Meagher, was on the eve of doing so, when, Tammany becoming alarmed and fearing that the action might redound to his favor with the Irish Americans, secured for the boy an appointment from a Democratic member of Congress of New York city. Thest slanders, started in the first place by some irresponsible paragraphist with no respect for his own or the character of others, have been copied by nearly every Democratic paper in the country. The Philadelphia jFVesssays the President has been accused of sympathy with the peculiar theories and practices of Young and his followers, the Irish incited against and the Democratic soul generally made happy. We venture the assertion that not one-tenth of the journals that ijhave published these twin falsehoods

iwill

have the manliness to make a retraction.

haVe a printer who was educated in the Democratic faith in Berks county, Pennsylvania, and of course he hasn't yet learned that "Ginral" Jackson is defunct. It was this accomplished artist who substituted the name of the hero of New Orleans for that of the ex-Alderman of Greenville in our last issue.

The Destruction of the Column Yendome. [From a Paris Paper.] At fifteen minutes to two the green $urtain comes down ana aisuimses a^ dozen workmen sawing on one side, picking on the other, where there is a great notch cut out, just as a woodman would make in felling a large trea. The men hasten to finish the bed of Band and brushwood and beams and dung on which the column is to fall. Down comes the saw, then nearly all the workmen. A few remain putting on a few last strokes of the

Sownwith

ick a will, then descend and take the scaffolding hurriedly, as though afraid the column might comedown with them. The two cannon guarding the entrance of the Rue de la Paix are wheeled away to the side of the place.

I take my place in the window of Dombrowski's headquarters, almost directly opposite, and have a good view of the great notch, and which shows the hollow cavity inside where was the ciroular stairway leading to the top. A band on the other side of the place, where there is a large crowd, strike up the "Marseillaise," and a man appears upon the top with the tri-color, which he fastens to the foot of the statue amid feeble cheering.

grand dead-head excursion, round the world, for the base ball maniacs? The country would cheer their departure as lustily as Frank Blair promised to cheer the "Finnegans."

xs very unpretty in Theodore to deprive us of his Golden Age, after all the handsome things we have felt constrained to say of it. It seems to us that the patient reading of his full-page criticism of a single picture entitles us to his life-long gratitude. Send the Golden Age along, Theodore, and we will get you a season dead head ticket to the mammoth beer garden just opening opposite our sanctum.

From my point of view I can not see the windlass in the Rue de la Paix nor the men at work there, but the great cables slowly commence to tighten, then to tremble convulsively as if in a death struggle. The sun and the sky are so bright that one's eyes become almost blinded by watching them. A few white clouds go flitting by, making you think by their motion that the column is falling. The great statue looks steadily on over the green trees ot the Tuileries and the Hotel des Invalides beyond, where repose the mortal remains of its great original, as though defying the attempts of the puny beings below to drag it in dust. The flag waves on gaily, as though determined to go down to its death laughing.

Another effort, the cables grow tighter a sharp report and they fall loosely most to the ground. Something lias giv en way and the great column still defies them. It was a pulley in the windlass which has broken and wounded some one. We see him carried off across the place on a stretcher. The band continues play ing, and the workmen commence repair ing damages and praparing for another attempt. In about an hour they are ready to try again. The crowd is cleared away from the middle of the place, where they had congregated about, discussing the event excitedly, and again the great cables slowly tighten. Another convul sive struggle with the monster column as it grows tighter and stretches to its utmost, a moment of intense suspense—will it never come?—then a crash it i$ break ing at the bottom the great statue at the top commences moving backwards the huge mass of stone and bronse is falling, slowly at first—you would have plenty of time to mn from under, then faster, then through the air like a flash, and there a sound like thunder and a shock as of an earthquake, and the huge column of the Place vendome, which might have stood until the day of judgment, disappeared in a cloud of dust and flying pieces of stone and mortar, A shout went up from the crowd in the Rue de la Paix, long and loud but was it joy or grief, exulta tion or sorrow, or terror or dismay, or all combined, it would be hard to tell When the dust cleared away there was nothing to be seen but a shapeless mass of stone and iron and debris, instead of the grand and graceful shaft that but moment before had lifted its head proud ly to the skies. Looking up an awful blank meets the gaze where the mighty figure stood—a blank that will strike the eye of every Parisian painfully when passing the Rue de la Paix or the Place de l'Opera for many a long day. The dust had scarcely cleared away when the debris was covered with an eager crowd searching for pieces and yelling like de mons, trampling over the great statue, spitting upon it, insulting it, as if the senseless ashes in the Hotel Je3 Invalides could feel it as if the dead lion could feel the kick of the living ass.

And snch is the reward of the great man of France—the just reward of the Butcher of Earope—who made more wid ows and orphans than any other ruler of modern times who filled France with sighs and tears who sowed the dragon'i teeth that have just produced such a terrible harvest of death and suffering. The crowd is yelling and hooting and burrowing among the dust and aebris of the work, some climbing over it, some stand ing on the high broken pieces, some on the pedastal hoisting the red flag. Ber geret makes a speech, Rochefort makes a speech, Fortuna makes a speech, but no body stops a moment to listen, bo great is the excitement. The statue of Napol eon is lying on its back as it fell, the back and the head crushed in and one one leg broken off. The little statue of Victory he held in his hand I saw in the possession of a National Guard. The head and one arm were gone, and I tried to buy but he said he dared not sell it, although I would have given him what he might have thought a fabulous price for it One of the engineers who happened to come around saw and took posession of it and I suppose it will appear, sooner or later, if the Versailles people do not come in, in the form of medals to the Commune

John B. Gough in a recent.lecture said "I cannot drink moderately. It is physically and morally impossible. If any man should give me whisky by any means unknown to myself, it would be at the risk of my sinking back to what I was twenty-five years ago. You may call weakness, or what you will, but it is the truth." We do not doubt it, for we once knew a gentleman in Boston, a man of the highest literary character and fame, who occasionally took to extreme drink ing, who once said, when remonstrated with concerning his infirmity: "I love my wife and children dearly, and devo tedly love them but when I have tasted liquor, were they standing on the brink of the bottomless pit, and the condition offered me that I should see them go to eternal destruction if I should drink another glass of brandy, I would take the liquor I could not help the act."—Boston Times.

was long ago commenced in the Secom District Court, to annul the judgment once rendered by the Court, probating the lost will in favor of Mrs. Gaines and recognizing her heirship. It was upon this will the judgments of the Supreme Court of the United States in favor of Mrs. Gaines are based. The suit to set aside a judgment which has produced these results necessarily involves a great deal of technical disputation, which, we presume^ will consume much time and elicit a vast display of hair splitting and legal polemics. It is fortanate that so learned and astute a magistrate as Judge Collins presides over this trial. The indefatigable lady, who, for over forty years, has prosecuted her claims to the property of Daniel Clark, is still on hand, battling for her rights with undiminished vigor and pertinacity. She and her suit have survived several generations of lawyers and Judges.

ON THE BEACH AT LONG BRANCH.

The WiJ4 Waves Talking to Themselves—The President at Home.

From the Ne» York World, June 3.] LobgBbahch,

June

2,1871.

Of course the only thing vmch has so suddenly raised this place from a long, straggling village to a central point of interest and attraction is the advent of the party from the White House at Washington. General Grant as he sits on his piaza in front of his cottage, or takep a. jaunt down the avenue,must feel{like a cob standing up in the. centre of a bushel measure, or, perhaps, like a guest who has arrived an hour ot two in advance of the hour fixed upon for the banquet, when there is no one around but the steward and waiters to criticise his cravat and white kids. Long Branch is almost as dull as in mid-winter. Surely, there are signs of coming life and activity. Ocean avenue is being laid as smooth as your drawing room floor, in anticipation of the throng of gay equipages painters and frescoers are busily engaged on the cottages landlords look merrier and chat as lively as a goose gobbles before the approaching rain negro waiters are to be seen everywhere Bridgets sit on the window sills polishing the glass or are scrubbing down the staircases and last, but not least, restaurateurs are stocking theircellars with wines and cigars. All the principal hotel-keepers have agreed upon the 15th of June as the. time to inaugurate the season, and those who come before that time will have to be content without the gay fascinations of real city life on its annual bender.

who must necessarily

The President, be my chief topic at present, remain* in quiet seclusion at his cottage at the west end. This morning General Portei* was dispatched to New York to do some executive shopping, and Collector Murphy left at the same time. Mr. Murphy will return with his family to-morrow or next day and occupy his elegant cottage, almost directly opposite the temporary residence of the President. He has spent about $3,000 in putting his house- in repair, for the season, and he is proud of the result. The President sent his mounted courier to the railroad depot this morning for the morning papers, and for nearly two. hours after he sat on the piazza in front of his cottage perusing them. Father-in-law Dent walked out over the grounds with a cane, and Nellie Jessie Grant played croquet with little Johnny Porter in the-rear of the cottage. Miss Nellie has grown to be a sweet young lady of sixteen summers, and Jesse is a bright youn^ lad. Miss Nellie had cause to rebuke him quite often dur ing the game for Ms roughness in knock ing the balls clear out of bounds. Litle Master Porter had all he could do short-stopior Jessie's flying ballB.

The President's cottage has already been described- in the World. It stands on the east side of Ocean avenue, just before you reach the curve where bears off to the west, leaving the shore and making space for the park. The President's chateau is much criticised here but Hike it for the same reason that mades everybody else dislike it— that is its oddity. It stands on & plot depressed ground with the roaring ocean just over the ridge, and the elegant drive out in front. Most of the cottages about here look bare and naked. The President' is just enough shaded to make it stand out in bold relief, and give it a kind substantial look. The spacious grounds in front of the cottage are partly covered with natural shrubs, and there are two meandering carriage-tracks leading to the porch. The residence is spacious enough to accommodate all of the Presi dent's household, but General Porter has his own cottage, which stands on the oth er side of the avenue, next to Collector Murphy's residence.

I passed a few words with the Presi dent this morning as he sat on his cool porch reading the news and puffing a cigar. Our carriage stopped in front of the door, and, remembering some of our party, he greeted us without an introduction. He was in very good spirits, and conversed freely as loug as we remained. While we were there the President's courier came riding up, bearing several large en velopes containing dispatches from Wash ington. We were forced to laugh at Long Branch tradesman who came in with a parcel for the President. The tradesman meta man away out at the road gate and took off his hat holding at arm's length while he bowed and reverently asked if His Excellency was in Being told that he was -he walked down the gravel road until he came within couple of rods of the porch, where the President was sitting. He then stopped until the President, annoyed at his actions, bid him advance and explain his business. The tradesman then ascended the steps and stated his mission. Mr. Grant told him to see the Stewart, and went on chatting and smoking. The vis itor backed down the long steps, bowing at every descent, and holding his arms in the position for making a salaam.

We left the President, and he dove in to the inside pages of one of the blanket sheets. He goes to West Point on Tuesday next to attend the commencement exercises, and will return on the follow ing Monday to enjoy the drive at Long Branch. M. B. N,

A New York Democratic Paper ''Moved" by Jeff. Davis' Speech From the New York Citisen.]

Why did not the Republican hang Jeff. Davis? Why must Mr. Uree ley go his bail and get him off? Oh, for a sour apple tree, for a stout cord and slip-noose. Let the philosophical editor of the Tribune surrender his enemy. Would that the'Republicans had been less magnanimous would that they had given us a little less of peace. The Citizen always wanted Jeff, hung, and the Citizen is always right but we want him hung twice as much now as at any time since the rebellion was crushed He is a murderer more than Cole, more cruel than Miss Harris, meaner than McFarland, more cowardly than Foster, more deceitful than Mrs. Fair he murdering the Democratic party. Hang him! hang him! hang him! Set the Ku Klux or the Loyal League at him, Stop his mouth or his breath. Shut him up by all means, by any means. Put him in prison or out of his misery that forces such insane and old-timed loquacity on him. Not satisfied with the harm he has already done, his weak and vengeful and selfish nature demands more victims. As he is damned in history forever, he would spread the curse as far as possible. If he is too small, too contemptible to punish with the fate of a Ruloff or a Foster, at least dip his head in cold water and hold it there-till he becomes sane. Is there no friend left him to do him this timely service? And if his head never gets out of the water, or sense only comes with expiring nature, so much the better Choke him off. '*•. ,* A

We wish to call particular attention to a few items

which we know we are selling cheaper than any one else:

1st. 600 LAWN DRESSES (11 yards in a pattern) at

$1.00 each. -J*---

2d. CORD EDGED RIBBON for hats. We have a^

full line of colors in No. 9. which is now so scarce and ,•.

3d. Extra heavy GROS GRAIN SILK at $1.20 per

4th. One case (2,500 yards) of good style FAST COL

ORED PRINTS at 8^ cents per yard.

finch "a rattling among the dry bones" of the old High-priced Dry Goods Stores, as whea upon Wednesday, April 25, we broke the pric of the best yard-wide

Hills and Lonsdale Muslins to 12 1-2 cts per Yard.

The members of "THE RTUG" were struck dumb with amazement. For twenty-four hoars they hardly had courage enough to say their souls were their own. For awhile they .1 i. 1 t• a. L._. L..1 mm /amm1 afi/te i« v/iat. TVI AT A.n

one customer, which rule has enabled us to place these goods in the hands of our customers, for whom they were intended.- The news of this,

The Boldest of all our Attacks on the Cotton Market!

Has spread far and wide, and New York, Philadelphia and Chicago Merchants have all acknowledged themselves out-done and undersold* Not even *'the Poll Parrot* of the Terre Haute Dry Qood* Trade" have attempted to follow us in this new onslaught of ours upon high prices. They have thus, one and all of them, acknowledged before all the people of Terre Haute and of the surrounding country, they give over the contest, and admit that

THEY CANNOT COMPETE WITH OUR PRICES

We invite the people to note that fact- Heretofore certain of the old stores have always pretended to follow us in whatever reductions we have made in the prices of goods. It is true they have never been first to make any of these reductions, and that they have never even professed to sell cheaper than we, still they have always claimed to follow us whenever we have put down the prices on any portion of our stock. Sometimes they nave really done so, when the articles reduced were such as their customers were acquainted with and would be apt to detect them should they charge more for these goods than our advertised prices. However, upon Dress Goods, Shawls, Cassimeres, Carpets, Parasols, kc.„tney argue tnat their customers will not find them out even if they do charge moro than we and so upon these goods they months ago gmve up all attempts at competing unth us. but now it seems that even upon goods so well known as Hills and Lonsdale Muslins, they persist in charging their customers 17c and 18c a yard, while we have for weeks been selling them for 12}^c, having sold many thousands of yards at that price. They even tell their customers that they cannot buy these goods for what we sell them for, thus thoughtlessly proving true what we have long asserted and they have long denied, namely: That hamng five stores all doing an immense business, tee buy so largely as often to enable us to sell goods at lower prtces than other stores can buy them. Thus as the months go by, our enemies themselves are reluctantly forced to bear testimony to our fidelity to the people who have ever stood by us through evil and through good report. A year ago we said in one of our advertisements,

h,-i- :'.i
