THE GRANT PROGRAMME--ITS " FIRST FAILURE, A mostsignificant development of the Radical programme for carrying the Presidential election occured in the House of Representatives the fore part of last week. It was promptly met by.the solid Democratic vote and with theaid of ascore of conservative Republicans a successful battle was fought, and-the tyrranical designs of the Grant party were thwarted. The fight was made on the passage of the Federal Election bill and the extension of the right of the President to suspend the habeas corpus. With these measures in the hands of Mr. Grant, his partisans suppose he will be the absolute master o?the situation, and by _a free _use of the ' dictatorial power wuich they give him he could .carry by force all doubtful States and force himself upon the people for another term if not for life. Gen. Bdtler was ‘ chosen’ to lead the movement and a more seryiceable tool-of a tyrant could not have been foutid outeide of the rotten monarchies of the Old World. The Dem-~ ocrats had a foreknowledge of Butler’s designs, and, after holding a hasty congultation, determined to use every means in their power to defeat the nefarious project, The case was one which might be fraunght with death to the Republic and fatality to the American people, and they at once de--termined to fillibuster against, all attempts at purely political legislation, With this view they agreed to inter-. pose no opposition to the tariff or appropriation bills' and as soon as. Butler took the floor they were] ready to meet him at all points,/ A scene of great confusion followed, but in spite of the arbitrary and unjust rulings of the Speaker the opposition persistently clogged the wheels until the more discreet administration-leaders saw that the contest must be- abandoned in order to save other questions which are necessary to place the administration in a defensible position before the country. To end the fight a notion to adjourn was carried. During the contest President Grant and several members ot his: Cabinet were present and, in constant communiction with the leading members of his party.— His great anxiety for the success of these tyranical measures was _plainly apparent and he did not hesitate to lobby for the adoption of the villainous schemes, with the same force which he uged in his attempt to compel the ratification of his wishes in the San Domingo speculation. President Grant wants the means placed in his hands whereby he can make his re-election a certainty ; if public patronage and the unseruplous use of all civil means bid fair to prove futile, he wants dictatorial and arbitraty powers that he may use them at will. His perzonal acts reveal this feeling, and indeed, he does not hesitate to publicly urge the adoption of measures that will clothe him with such power. The people cannot fail to see the end of all' this, and to avioid the calamity it is necess-~ ary for all elements of opposition to unite for the overthrow of the one man who cherighes such designs.. -

The Chicago Tribune, in its account of the Federal Office-holders’ Conven tion at Philadelphia, which Jconvened in the *City of Brotherly Love”, says that Hon. Thomas Settle, of North Carolina, once Minister to 6 Peru, was made Permanent Chairman, and the usual Committees were appointed.— This done, the Convention resolved itzelf into a debating society, and, after the manner of the boa-constrictor, beslavered the thing it was to swallow. Mr. Oglesby delivered his oration over the body of the martyred Lincoln; Gerritt Smith fought the battles of the war over again ; Mr. Logan slew the glain thrice, and all united in a concerted piece, to the effect that Mr, Grant was, even more than George Washington, first in war, first in peace, and first irf’ the hearts of his Postmasters.

The Bangor Democrat makes its point rather cleverly when it says ; “Our genial neighbor of the Whig is anxious that we should quote some of the hard things that Horace Greeley used tosay about the Democracy.— We prefer the good things he is now saying. The things that Paul said after that remarkable noon day vision are remembered and repeated by the whole Christian world, while the things that Saul did betore the vision of light are forgotton. - e

A very tormidable bolt to Greeley from the Republican party of California has occured in San Francisco. The Chronicle gives along list of promiuent men .engaged in the movement, and Frank M, Pixly declared at a meeting of these Liberals that in three months there would be 20,000 names on the roll. He said: “We have 70,000 voters in the State, and we intend to poll them all for Greeley except the 7,000 who are in office. . :

P A DMiodel Boy, = A youngster attending school has ’ written to his mother the following characteristic letter: =~ = - ~ Dear Mother—l got another licking yesterday, but I had on ‘three pair of pants and it didn’t hurt/me much. I was licked because I put eix pins in Mr. ——'s chair. I knew they would not stick him, and made a ‘bet that they ‘would not, Mr.——was 80 mean-and ‘hard that the pins would not go in. I won the bet, which was a dog. Heisa good dog, and I am training him to bite old “Hardsides,” as we call him, some night when he comes home after dark, and if Zack is as good after him as he is after cats I won’t get licked any more. Zack and I killed the cats Sunday. though I'was to Sunday School and ¢hurchall that day, and it wasn’t a good day for killing cats, either, That inakes the third licking I got this week’ One was because I had a bottle of milk in my room, and the other was because [ wrote a compoeition on negroes that old Hardsides didn’t like. I said that a negro was a dark subject to write on. It was like a dark African going down a dark cellar on a dark pnight without a light!to look for a black cat that was not there. Old Hardsides stopped me and licked me for that. Send me some more of them pies. I madea good trade with some of them. If you will send me five dollars I will step all my bad habits, except cursing and swearing and chewing and dringing and oneor tgx‘g others. I think you had better make/ the trade. Give my love to Julia/and tell her to send me my little fiddle I left in the old trunk. Your affectionate son, BILLIE.

'Toaaceo by a Small Boy. : : ‘Tobabco grows something like cabbage, but I never saw any of it boiled, although I have eaten boiled cabbage with vinegar on it, and I have heard -men say that cigars were given them oh election day that were nothing but cabbage leaves. .= Tobacco stores are mostly kept by wooden Injuns who stand at t.hejdoor and try to fool little boys by offering them a bunch :of cigars, which is glued into the Ipjuns® hands, and iz made of wood also. Hogs do not like tobacco ; neither do I. I tried to smoke a cigar once and it made me feel like epsom \ , s . salts. 'Tobacco was invented by a man oamed Walter Raleigh! When the people first saw him smoking they thought he was a steamboat, and as they never saw a steamboat, they were frightened. My sister Nancy is girl, I §on’t. know whether she likes tobacco or -not. There 'is a young man named Leroy who comes to see her.— He was standing on the steps one night, and a cigar in his mouth, and he said he didn’t know as she would like it. . And she said, “Leroy, the perfume is agreeable.” But when my big brother Tom lighted his pipe, Naney said, “Get out of the house, you: horrid creature, the smell of tobacco makes me sick.” :

Few men have uttered grander sentiments than did Horatio Seymour when he gaid : ‘ . ? «] have held the lives and liberties of great numbers in my hande. I have heard many thousand. prayers for pardon. I have had intercourse with those holding the highest places down to those living in the gloomiest cells.— I have seen and felt as much as most men of harshness and bitterness of the strife of this world. All this experience has led me to feel kindly toward my fellow men. The longer I live the more I think of men’s hearts and the less of their heads. I grow more and. more disposed -to charge the evils men do to -their infirmities, and the more deeply am I impressed with the great truth of that religion which teaches the need of a Spirit to guide, and - a merciful God to forgive manifold sins and transgressions.” _

The woods near Mount Holly, Knox county, Ohio, took fire the other day and the inhabitants torned out to fight the flames. Among them was an old lady who got separated from the rest. Not returning home after the fire was subdued, search was made for her, and the poor creature’s remains were diB- - burnt to a crisp, and miost of the bones entirely divested of Hesh.— She had become surrounded by fire and was too weak from age to escape or raise an alarm. . e

Gargling the throat with tepid water will often afford relief from a troublesome cough.

" A Grant Delegate Declares for 5 . Greeley.” Governor P‘ieypont, of West Virginia, while attending. the office-houlder’s convention at Philadelphia, on the Bth of June, seceded from the delegation from that State to ghe Convent_ion,v‘and in his speech to the delegates declaring his pre. ferences for Greeley, said. he had' hoped, “when selected without solicitation to come asa delegate to this convention, that éhere might be still an opportunity to' save-the party by a nomination of an acceptable Presidential ' candidate, one who would nbey the laws and respect the popular will, but it is now evident it was hoping against Lope ; that this was not a meeting for deliberation as to the interests of the republican party or of the demands of an arrogant power, Neither the a Jmonitions of Cincinnati or of Sumner are heeded; and’it ‘s resolved ' to de-: stroy the organization to gratify a’ mere personal government. T, therefore, withdraw from the delegation, and I give you this timely notice to fill my place, Ishall then ve free to give my honest support to Horace Greelev.” G

That to uphold the former and practice the latter, the Democracy of Pennsylvania can find no better platform upon’ which to stand than the great leading principles enunciated in the inaugural of President Jefferson ana-the farewell ad. dress of the immortal Jackson.. Upon these two great State papers we plantourselves and enter the contest of 1872. .

_ Over-worked Woman, The sewing women of Londor are about to form a Union, by which they hope to protéct themselves from overwork. At present, in the busy’ season, they are often obliged to sew fifteen hours a day. This mistresses of the dressmaking establishments, give as their reason for late working, that ladies delay sending in their work until the last moment, and then expect it at-the earliest. If the Uuion is suecessful, of .course, these unfortunate “heads” will be crushed be’ tween the demand of their customersand the. resistance of their employers, for a time. But gradually things will right themselves, and their patrons, through* few disdppointments, will learn mercy for the over worked girls. ;

- Unhappy Spain. Spain is on tke verge of another revolution, because Serrano has insisted on releasing the captured Carlists instead of shooting them. . The brutalities of the Cuban generals evidently fulfill the Spanish ideal of dealing with a revolution, while the generous clemency of an old soldier is'too much in harmony with the ideas of most civilized men, to suit a race on whoin their American conquests conferred greatness.and a certain ineradicable brutality at the same time, Bloodthirstiness#is too intimately associated with priestcraft and ignorance to be at all likely to die out in Spain for some time to come, @ . e

o - Death of Romeéo, = = From the Chicago Times we clip the following - eoncerniog the death of the famous elepbant, Romeo, 'wlip‘_ died on Friday,the Tthimst. v . 2000 . His last hours were ‘mot among the ‘pleasantest of his lite. "He bad been em. inently “fast” in his young days, and' in old age, this early dissipation told on Lim. His body followed his ‘manners, and became corrupt. The doctors were called in, and after consultation they cut - hiw, then gouged him, afterward chisselled him, and closed by cauterizing him with red hot soldering Irons. These operations: ‘were repeated early on Thursday evening. Romeo maintained: bimself . heroically while the numerous spectators. passed. in review ; but when all Wexeg,cnp'%regafed, in the circus tent, laughing at the bon mots of the clown, and little heeding Romeo's miseries, he took a farewell look around, ncdded a tender and affectionate’ “over the river” at his old companions, the lions, tigers, hyenas, et al; and then shook the earth ~with his final fall. = His keepers rushed ¢ quickly to his aid, undid the chaius that bound him, straightened . bis. limbs to ease his position, and then all stood -silently about 'with grave faces, for all felt instinctively that a Titan spirit was erigaged in the last -wrestle with the dross- of this earth. By and by they spoke to him ; kindly, cheeringly, commandingly ; but it: was all the same, only a little groan now and then wasall the indication he gave that Hie was still concerned with the things of this world. He remained in “this condition for twelve hours, receiving every attention tuat kind, brusque cireus men could show him,

- At ten o'clock on Friday morning Chas. Forepaugh, his keeper, stepped up to his prostrate form, bent close to bis ears, and saidsoftly: - oo e “Romeo, don’t you know me 27 . The animal made a slight effort to raise his head, and.then heaved a heavy sigh;a shiver ran throagh the great body, and all was over, : LA e e R “Romeo is déad,” said the keeper, and as he turned away the tears rolled ‘down his cheeks, and all who ‘were present were filled with emotion. -~ | L e It may seem like a stretch of the im—agination to some people, and yet it is dif: ficult to account for the singular conduct of the animals yesterday, except upon the hypothesis that they were aware;, somehow, that something unusual had oceurred. The mere absence of, Romeo, whose body after death was covered with a tarpaulin, could scarcely have produced such remiarkable effects. - All the keepers agree that they bave never seen the animals so restless as they were on yesterday after-: noon and last evening.. Seldom would avy of them lie down, and no sooner did one give expression-to his feelings than all joined the chorus, at times the din and’ wail was truly appalling. Said the keeper of the Jiong:' =i o iiads v “I don’t’know what’s. got into them there beasts. That she one over thar, with the cubs, hesn’t bih still a moment to—day, and the others ain’t very much better.” e e The man in charge of the hyenas was, nearly beside himselt; and vowed he could do nothing with them. ' “They have made me almost sick with their cries; the're 8o human.” STI ~Others joined in the same strain, and the man in charge of the wax.works went 8o far as to say he thought he had noticed -an unusually sad expression about Jose - phine Mansfield. - But this ‘remark did not meet with general acceptation.. Romeo is believed to have Leen about 75 years of age; and was valued at $40,€OO. As his body is said to weigh 10,000 pounds, 'this sum “would be at! the rate of $4OO per pound. Rather expensive flesh. Al R e It is understood to be the intention-of Mr. Forepaugh to present Romeo's carcass to the Chicago ﬁdical College, where it will be’ dissected and preserved.

{ A. Smith Discourseth on Late Suppers, - “There is, doubtless,” said I “as the wisest of menhas observed, ‘a time for all /_thi’ngs ;' and comsequently there is a time to eat and drink.” Grim L Thisremark was addressed to Mrs. Smith | one evening after the t%a-&hings had been taken away, the hesrtl swept, and we had “betaken us to our usual evening’s employ“ment, she to her sewing, and I, to.my’ ‘boek. The lady id’:jqnestioq;look'ed‘izg; from the stocking which she was darning, probably in more senees than ome, and said that she believed people in general had arrived at that conclusion years ago; ~and some people she thought, with a significant look "t me, geemed to imagine that there was a great many such times.— ¢‘At any rate,”’ she added, ¢I do not see ‘the drift of your remark.’’ “Woxm'e,n sel.: dom do. see the point (o any sensible remark,” T replied. “Then, -Mr. | Smith,~ .why do you-address such language to me, * /if you do not consider %cafmble of comprehending it ?”’ asked™y wife in an injured tone. ‘Becafife, my dear, I wish _you to become capable of cq‘mﬁr‘ehqndiﬁg : “it,”” I said, “itr other words I wish you to learn to think, and espeggia'.lly upon the subject of eating and drin#ing ;. for women have more influence in Such matters than ‘men, and it is they who mst change sdoial ideas and customs, if they are to be chang--ed. And, now, Mrs. Bmith, I beg that you will follow attentively what I am going to say upon the subject of eating. To return to my original proposition : the fact that there. is a time to eat and drink, im‘plies; necessarily, that there is-also a time whén' eating and drinking are not in or- . der.” “For instance,” 'sail Mrs. Smith, ‘immediately after youhave eaten a hearly ‘supper, as you have to-night ?”” '“Be kind enough mnot to interrupt tng, mny dear,”’ I said with dignity, and resumed. “But - you came’ nearer the t.ru'%h than you intended to in your last remark; -for how many tires have we been invited out after having eaten a hearty supper, and then expeoted to eat another at the-imminent risk of raining our digestive organs for life ¥ 1 oah‘not-»imixgipevwh"y women should consider it necessary to provide ‘‘entertainment for both man and beast” at every — social ‘gathering.” . “Entertainment for man and beast!’” why, what do you mean, Mr. Smith, I never heard of such 4 thing, said’ Ty wife,” indignantly. “Exactly what I say,” I replied, “for it is to the- - part of our nature only that such things as cold chicken and sandwiches, cakes and jellies, mini‘sferff; and the enter= taiyn_mex‘:.t at most evening“i parties I have attended has been limited to such articles as those enumerated ; while for the man | no entertainment was provided.” <«However, I haye usually observed,” said Mrs. Smith, ‘that men sre very fond of such things as cakes. and pies; and geldom refuée to pariake of them’ -and in fact I . think they consume rather more of such , edibles than women.” ¢On ‘the contrary, : my dear, I rejoined complacently, “‘statieties show that the delicate creatures who float like faries in gauze and tulle through the saloon ‘or ball-room; partake ‘much more heartily of the viands usually provided on such occasions than-their male attendants,” ‘‘Statistics, show! I think some one must have had very littlé to do to be watching ladies to see how much they. est !’ cried my wife, cor}temptgg_usly.-— «With all due respect to you, my dear, I thigk he must ‘have, had a great deal to do,” 1 replied. My wife idézr_ted' flames. from her eyes but said nothing. ‘‘But seriously,” I resumed, “why cannot some -one, why will nJot' you, set the gxample of giving an evening entertainment for the ‘higher instead of the lower part of our nature 2 Can not a few intelligent, cultivat= ed people meet and spend an evening together pleasantly with books, pictures, music, or a hundred other things, interesting to-all, without eating? As a writer has recently-remarked : ¢lf fhere is nothing else to do, or if we are incaple of anything else, let us eat, and eat heartily ;* ‘but if, as social, moral, and intellectual beings we are capable of higher enjoyments, let us have those. Ido net wish to disparage hespitali'y, one of the first “duties men owe to each other..- But hospitality consists not in jnviting your friends to your house, in order to make a great display of your culinary skill and ability; - in hesping dishes of rich and unwholegome food upon them; in opening before them long vistas, of tables, upon which cakes on cakes, and fruits on fruits like . | “Alps on Alpe’ arise; and, in short, in do“ing all in your power to make them miser--able.
