THE 41ARKKL OF BRUTUS AND
CASSIUS.
IF MBS. JENKS HAD BEEN PACK
ARD.
From the Oil City Derrick. •
Cas. —That you have wronged me doth ap
pear in this:
You have cc ndemned and noted Lucius Pella
For taking bribes here of the Sardians.
Wherein, my letters, praying on his side
Were slighted off.
Bru. You wronged yourself to write in such
a case;
I*ook at John Sherman;
You should have been more fly.
Cas.— In such a time as this it is not meet
That every nice offence should lx*ar this com
ment.
Bru.—Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself
Are much condemned to have an itching palm
To sell and mart your offices
To Ohio people only.
Cas. -I an itching palm?
You know that you are a bigger man than I am.
Or, by the gods that roost on high Olympus,
I would erect a dome of thought upon you
Bigger than a coal scuttle.
Bru.—The name of Cassius honors this
Farming out of offices.
And chastisement doth hide its head.
Cas. -Chastisement! Wha-wha what d’ye
mean?
Bru. Romemher March—the 4th of March,
remember!
Shall we now contaminate ourselves
With base bribes, or promises of support for a
second term.
Notwithstanding our letter of acceptance ?
1 ha<l rather be a dog and wear a muzzle
Than such a Roman.
Cas.—Brutus, muzzle not me.
I’ll not endure it; I am a soldier;
I enlisted for three years or during the war—
1 was not a three months’ man—
I am therefore abler than yourself
To make conditions.
Bru.—Go to ; you are not, Cassius.
C’as. —I am.
Bru.—You’re a liar !
Cjis.—Urge me no more; I shall forget my-
nvlf.
Have mind upon your health, tempt me no
further;
Tliis first means six months in the hospital,
And this one- sudden death!
Bru.- I say you’re a liar, liar, liar,
And J can lick you in two minutes.
('as.—Come and see me.
|They fight. Brutus leads with his right duke
and catches Cassius on the mug; Cassius gets
hack at him, and plants a sockdologer on his
Bread basket. Each one carries himself to
his respective corner, where they continue
the battle at ten paces, as follows:]
Bru.—Away, slight man,
And wash the biood off of your bugle!
Cas.—Away, yourself, and take some pare
goric
For the pain in j'our bowels!
Bru.—You said you were a better soldier;
Wliat do you think of my style now—eh?
Cas. —When Co*sar lived he durst not so have
moved me.
B ru .— 0, shoot it! you durst not so have
tempted him.
Cas.—I durst not ?
Bru.- No, you wall-eyed snoozer.
You durst not and well dost thou know it.
Cas. What? durst not tempt him ?
Bru.—Not if Caesar was at home,
And knew himself 1 He would have roof’d you
in a holy second!
Cas.—Roof’d me?
Bru. —Aye, put a head on you.
The same office which I myself have jiwt now
Performed with such neatness ami despatch.
Cas.—Do not presume too much upon my
love;
If we do come together again, I will let myself
out,
And may do that I shall be sorry for.
Bru.—Lay but a hand on me and you’ll be
sorry for it.
There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats;
They pass me by as the idle wind
Which I respect not. I did send to you
For certain sums of gold, and offered to pay
you
Ten per cent, interest, and give you a mortgage
On my house and lot, which you denied me—
For 1 .cannot raise the wind
By vile means, as you can;
By heaven, 1 had rather coin my heart
And drop iuy blood for drachmas, than to
wring
From the hands of postmasters their vile trash,
iiv uny indirection.
Should 1 have answered Cains Cassius so?
When Marcus Brutus grows so covetous,
Jle ready, gods, dash him to pieces
With your pile drivers I
Cas,-I denied you not,
Bru.—What monumental cheek! You did.
Has.—Don't say it again, else will I
Hop onto you as I did before. He was but a
fool
That brought my answer hack,
And lost it on the way.
Brutus hath broke my heart,
A friend should bear a friend’s infirmities;
But Brutus makes mine greater than they are.
I Weeps.)
Bru.—I did not mean to;
I did not know it was loaded.
[Weeps. 3
Cas.—You love me not.
Bru. I do uot like your faults.
Cas.—Hath Cassius lived
To be but mirth and laughter to lxis Brutus,
When grief, and blood ill-tempered, vexeth
him?
Bru.—I did not mean to.
Cas.—Do you confess so much ? Give me your
hand!
JBru. -And my heart, too!

The Grillin Xcws is evidently suffering.
It says; “It is very serious weather.' The
crops are drying up, ice is melting, perspi
ration is flowing in floods from fat humani
ty, merchants complain of an unusual
shrinkage, not only in prices, but in indi
vidual weight; fair maidens fret over loss of

great and absorbing question is, what shall

Early County Xews: “Some of the men In
Georgia w ho are aspiring to Congressional
honors ought to emigrate to Texas. It is
estimated that she will be entitled to ten
new members after the census of 1880 is
taken, and there may be room for them.
This advice is intended for the ‘independ

of.”
The Athens Southern Banner is anxious
for the extension of the Northeastern Rail
road. It saj's: “It seems to us that a more
opportune time Cor moving in the matter of
extending the Northeastern Railroad will
never be presented than now. Indeed, from
the energy displayed by other railroad cor
porations, their eagerness to tap the moun
tains of North Georgia aud Tennessee, it
appears essential that immediate plans
should be inaugurated for the extension.
Augusta is pushing the Augusta and Knox
ville Road, the Elbertoii Air-Line will soon
be completed, and capitalists w ill be sure to
recognize the importance and prolit in ex
tending the link beyond the mountains.
Now, if Athens docs not desire to be ‘left
out in the cold’ as Augusta has been by in
activity, she should not miss the golden op
portunity of being first to open the right of
way to Rabun Gap.”
Butjer Herald: “It will be remembered by
many of the people of Taylor county that
about six years ago a negro woman by the
name of Hester Barksdale was stabbed near
Brattsburg, in this county, by another negro
woman by the name of Roxey Nolton, and
who died about three days after the deed
was committed. This negro woman, Roxey
Nolton, was then arrested, and after having
been confined in our jail for nearly two
years was sentenced by Judge Johnson to
the penitentiary for four years. This negro
woman having faithfully served her full
length of time in the coal mines of North
Georgia, with the exception of about four
months, which time she received for good
behavior, returned to Butler on yesterday on
her way back to her old home. She reports
having been well fed, well worked and
well w hipped during her four years of con
vict life.
Counterfeit bill passers are at work about
Macon. The Telegraph says : “On Tuesday
night two young men brought a fifty dollar
greenback bill to Mr. F. A. Schoneman, re
questing him to change it. He did so, giv
ing in change fifty dollars in good greenback
and silver money. Yesterday morning, in
tlie daylight, the bill did not look exactly
right, and Mr. Schoneman had it exam
ined by several bank oilicers. Their
opinions varied as to its genuineness.
The First National Bank pronounced
it a counterfeit, anj. stamped it ac
cordingly. We understand that efforts
had been made to pass the bill at several
places before the holders presented it to
Mr. Schoneman. The occurrence occa
sioned considerable comment about the city
yesterday. It is reported that there is a
good deal of the queer afloat in Macon at
present. This is the only spurious bill
which has been discovered. This is the
first instance of passing counterfeit govern
ment bills in Macon in more than a year.”
The Walton County Vidette treats its read
ers iu tlq-ee snake stories this week. Tlie
tirst is tba* “Ml W. J. Studdard, while
seated on a log to ttv woods near his home,
near Rutledge, tlie other day, had his atten
tion attracted by a movement, in the leaves,
and looking, saw a full grown rabbit sitting
in a few feet of him. While looking at the
rabbit he saw the head of a huge rattlesnake
lifted from the ground eighteen or twenty
inches. The snake had charmed the animal
and was preparing to make a feast of him.
Tile rabbit appeared to be perfectly helpless
until Mi. S. struck the snake with a pole,
when he scampered . 'IT. The snake fought
like a tiger till Mr. "6. S|;.c.?eeded in dis
patching him. He was as large as a man’s
teg, and had seventeen rattlesmid i button.”
The second is that “on Saturday last, on
Mr. J. M. - Trciiham’s plantation, another
large rattlesnake wan hayed by a dog, and
before the hands could reauhthy dog he had
been bitten liy the snake and Was dead.
They succeeded in killing the snake, which
was larger than a man’s arm, and had ten
rattles and a button.” The third Is longer
than either of the foregoing, but it is to the
effect that a gentleman of that county re
cently killed one at night on tlie steps of
his residence, after having pn two occasions
stood close to it, and thus narrowly escaped
being bitten, which was as large as a man’s
Jeg and had sixteen rattles ana a button.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE OCCUPATION OF
BOSNIA.
Yienna, July 25.—Arrangements for the
march of Austrian troops into Bosnia are
now complete down to the last details, and
the forces are ready to cross the frontier at
any hour. The order to march, however,
will not be given before the end of the week,
as the Austrian Government is anxious to
complete arrangements with Turkey in order
to enter the provinces as a friend and not as
an enemy. But with or without the good will
of Turkey, the order to march will not
be delayed much longer. Tlie headquarters
of the Austrian forces are fully established
at Brod. Nobod j' anticipates serious re
sistance from any quarter. The Turkish
authorities in the provinces have certainly
received directions from Constantinople
that under all circumstances, they are to
meet the Austrians in a friendly spirit.
Greater difficulties are feared in repatriating
Bosnian refugees, who do not appear anx

THE ITALIAN DEMONSTRATIONS.*
Yienna, July 25.—The Italian demonstra
tions absorb all political interets here, but it
is well understood that the whole affair is
directed against the Cairoli Ministry. The
immediate purpose of the agitation
seems to t>c to force the Ministers to resort
to repressive measures, whieli would be cer
tain to be followed by their downfall.
The open or secret partizaus of a republic
and Democracy are the avowed leaders of
the movement, but the reactionary party
has given it substantial, though sileut, help.
There arc indications that a reaction is al
ready setting in. The masses are beginning
to realize “the harm agitation might do to

THE POTTER INVESTIGATION.
Atlantic City, N. J., July 25.—Secretary
Sherman resumed his testimony before the
Potter Committee. He testified that on
November 17th the visiting Republicans
called on the returning board to pay their
respects. The visiting Democrats had paid
a similar visit the day before. The Re
publicans stated they came to New Orleans
ut the request of President Grant and of the
political organization* to witness the couut
aud not interfere with the dptjes of the
board, and hoped the proceedings would be
conducted openly. The Republicans
thought the Democrats more active than
they were in mingling with the board and
examining papers. In other respects the
conduct of both parties was the same.
Sherman denied that he or any of his as
sociates met priyately with any members of
the returning hoard. He did not remcra-
lier meeting Jas. E, Anderson, except in a
casual way. The witness denied the truth
of Anderson’s statement, alleging a eouver-
sation between Sherman, Weber and Ander
son, In which it was represented that Sher
man said there was no necessity for Weber
going back to bis parish; that be could be
provided for elsewhere. Sherman was
shown the letter alleged to have been writ
ten him by Weber and Anderson, dated
November 20, 1876. He said he never heard
of such a letter until it was published.
Furthermore, he said the letter was as in-
sultingas it was suggestive of falsehood,
as they say “we have carefully considered
the argument advanced In* you in our inter
view,” and asking him to state in writing
who they should look to for the fulfillment
of the promises. Sherman said he never
suggested to these men employment or
pjpiRfee of reward for any service the}*
mighUrericfer in connection wjtjj the return
ing board or any other Wav.. Witness Em
phatically denied he Wrotethe alleged reply
to the letter from Weber and Ander
son. At the same time, however,
there were things in it he would have
TTrP-teu these or any other men who
were engaged 1” the performance of what
he believed to be their duty had be been
asked. Witness said if he had been a citi
zen of Louisiana he wouid probably have
been killed, for he should have resisted the
rifle clubs who, in addition to other crimes,
drove negroes from their homes to the
swamps. He said he could not think of the
scenes of violence anil intimidation in Lou
isiana in 1870 without feelings of resentment
and anger.
Witness never asked Mrs. Jenks to sup
press any letter written bv him; he never
had any conversation with her except in the
preset of others.

TRANSPORTATION OF SILVER TO WASHINGTON.
Washington, July 25.—The Pennsylva

ticipated overloading of cars and additional
responsibility, and the transportation of an
additional number of employes required as

The First Congressional District—
“Old <J.V’ Rejoinder to “Wire
grass. “
Editor Morning Xeics: If the fabrications
were true and the personalities were just, in
the last effort of “Wiregrass,” they would
have nothing to do with the fitness of Colo
nel Nicholls for Congress or the right or
wrong of the pledge. All that I desire is
that truth and justice shall prevail. I have
no vindictive feeling towards Colonel Nich
olls. I am influenced by public and not pri
vate motives, and the best people of this
city would testify to the fact that I am far
from being malicious. If Colonel Nicholls
has ever given the least cause why I should
injure him personally, I do not know it. I
treat him as a public office seeker, and noth
ing else, and as to Camden being nearly
unanimous for him, the contrary is the fact
in this end, where most of the votes are
polled.
“Wiregrass” is either misinformed or is
guilty of a fabrication when he says that I
desired Capt. Bachlott, who was the nomi
nee from Charlton alluded to in his letter,
to withdraw, that I might be a candidate on
the Railical platform of no convention.
The truth is 1, under date of April 20, 1S77,
wrote a letter to Capt. Bachlott aud sent it
to Col. Nicholls, who was then at Charlton
court, to deliver to him. I said to the
Captain in that letter:
“Having heard that Jim Blue proposed to
support the Honorable John L. Harris for
the convention, which support would elect
him beyond doubt, and although Judge Har
ris refused to run for the convention, I pro
pose that you and I withdraw from the race
and come out in a card urging the people to
support him. If he is elected he cannot re
fuse to act.”
Colonel Nicholls certainly saw the letter,
and how such a false idea as my wanting to
get Bachlott. down for my personal advan
tage got into the brain of “Wiregrass,” I
caunot conceive. Ilis imagination must be
fertile, or he must be morally deranged.
The attempt was to get Bachlott down in
order to make a sure thing in the election of
Judge Harris, who is considered able.
When “Wiregrass” uses the term Radical
iu relation to me he knows it to be a fabrica
tion as well as when the term lukewarm
Democrat is appropriated, for the whole
city where I reside can testify to the fact
that of all Democrats in this county I have
been, and continue to be, the most zealous
and the hardest worker for the party, and
that the liadicals have had and still have a
mortal hatred to me. If he cannot elevate
his friend on a more certain policy than by
misrepresenting me, he had better throw up
the sponge, for he will fail on that line
wherever I am known.
The idea that because Nicholls possibly
urged Bachlott not to accede to my propo
sition that he thereby deserves credit for
breaking up a programme is simply prepos
terous. That such a thing should or could
array me against him b perfectly ridiculous,
and besides Col. Nicholls knows that for
years and years before the election for dele
gates to a Constitutional Convention I
always opposed his nomination to Congress
because I did not think him qualified for
such an important trust. My opinion is
that “patriotism is worth more than office
seeking,” aud the success of the party is
worth more than the squabbles of ambitious
men who aspire to places that they are unlit
to fill.
As to the speech I made In reply to one
made by Col. Nicholls at this place, if the
Colonel cainc out with any glory it must
have been in his own vain imagination, for
no one else thought so, not even Judge
Harris, who seemed much tickled wheu I
cornered him on the negro jury question.
He told the negroes to vote for the candi
dates and convention, as it was
tlie best chance for them to get on the jury.
This touched our people iu a tender place,
and I showed in my speech that I was op
posed to it. The negroes iu this county are
not sufficiently “upright and intelligent” to
make proper jurymen. But for that speech
of Col. Nicholls’ I think Col. Atkinson would
have been elected for the Legislature, when
really he was defeated at each precinct.
The speech of Col. Nicholls caused the ne
groes to make the jury question their bat
tle-cry, and rallied their forces Under ' it.
He did our county a serious injury.
“Wire Grass” was also guilty of a fabrica
tion when he said that I said that the consti
tution made by plunderers was good enough
for me. I said that the jury clause was,and
that as the fraudulent bond question had
been settled by amendments, it would be
cheaper and better to make all necessary
clianges in that way than to call a conven
tion. As to the private letter that lias been
dragged into tlie controversy, I will
say that there is not one gentleman
iu St. Mary's who would, under
his own sipature, endorse the
aentimeuts in that letter, for they are basely
false, and I defy the author to coine out over
his owu signature and use such language.
People here would consider 6ueh a stab in
the dark aff base and cowardly, and I will
guarantee that the letter was written by a
political gambler without charaeter, or by a
new mau, an interloper. No old citizen,
who has known me from my youth up,
penned such a letter. I should like to know
when and where I opposed most measures
advocated by the party ?
When by day and by night, in rain and in
sunshine, over swamp and over river, and
at great bodily risks, I “bearded the lion ”

in an unjust cause, and used every means
at his command to put the case off from
court to court, when he knew that he was
on the wrong side, and that Hillyer was
a pest that we wanted to get rid
of. True patriotism would have given up a
fee and gone on the side of the people in
those dark and gloomy days. It was not

we wore peilcvpch of him. After that the
negroes forsook bira, be lied, and the people
were saved, I put my purse and my person
in the contest and won. The times de
manded sacrifices, I and others made them.
How about Col. Nicholls, who, with his
special pleadings and delays for the Hill-

Itovenue Collector E. M. Brayton, of
South Carolina, will be the Republican
cauilittoto for Congress ji) tj]e Third dis
trict of that State. He has recently been
attempting to reorganize the Republican
party, and has done it by conniving at
outrages which his deputies have com
mitted on peaceful citizens under tlie
guise of enforcing the revenue laws.
Ilis mulatto deputy, Hugh Cane, now in
jail for murder, was taken to South
Carolina by ex-Governor Moses, who
employed him as a procurer. His other
deputies haVe'bcen of the same character.
Cane is known to have ridden through
the mountainous regions of South Caro
lina, trying to induce the unruly class of
people to evade the revenue laws. Bray
ton has just applied to Gorham of the
National'Committee for assistance in the
campaign, and it is learned that, while he
does not hope to succeed, he expects to
make capital for the close districts of the
North by instigating some disturbances
in South Carolina in which tffiiuiile clubs
are supposed to take part, rhis is the
whole motive of the movement.”

A ROYAL HOME.
Visit to the Country Palace of Em
peror William Quiet Domestic
Life.
Emma D. Southtcick in Boston Traveller.
Berlin, June 38, 1878.—A day at
Potsdam is the thing to do while at
Berlin, aud we did it, but it ought to be
divided into two or three visits, there is
so much to see. Having seen the other
palaces I was especially pleased to know
that we could get in Badelsburg, the
favorite resort of Emperor Willian, built
iu the English castellated style between
1835 and 1849. and thus not wearing tlie
shabby, forlorn appearance of most of
the palaces we visit. Then. too. we are
there shown the actual living rooms of
the royal family, not a long row of state
apartments, which have lieen occupied
by a generation of Kings, but the simple-
country home of people as plain in their
tastes as ourselves, showing us that
princes really are simply human beings,
loving quiet" home comfort as much as
anybody, wliatever we may have
thought to the contrary-. Let me
tell you a bit atiout it, just by way of
illustration. The palace stands in" the
midst of an immense wild park, lint is
beautifully situated, with glimpses of the
Havel and its pretty bridges, and here
and there the other palaces coming into
view, and all about tasteful garden plats
and pretty fountains meet the ey-c, as one
looks from the windows. At the head of
the first staircase is a stand for canes, aud
we took in onr hands the plain stick
which the Emperor uses all the time
when here—and which he cut from a
tree thirty-five years ago: there arc
plenty of other canes, but this one only-
will he have. The apartments of the
Empress come first in order, her break
fast room, sitting and writing rooms, all
very tasteful, fresh and airy; the first
opening by a glass door on to an arcaded
walk, whose arches are richly hung with
woodbine, aud where there are comforta
ble seats and cool resting places, while
on one side we noticed a small park with
deer, pheasants, peacock and rare birds,
a pleasant river opening on the other:
the breakfast room seems to be a sort of
ante-room to the apartments beyond, and
out of it opens a fanciful boudoir, with
a little table in the centre, a tete-a-tete
set of rare china, and chairs arranged
for a quiet little chat while sipping a
cup of coffee. All these rooms are
rich in beautiful modern paintings
and in bronzes, beautiful furniture,
and in fact everything we should enjoy
in our own homes. The draperies are of
light, richly tinted cretonnes, and most
all of the chairs and sofas are covered in
the same way. On the writjng-dpsk of
the Empress there was a line picture of
her husband and a bunch of his favorite
flowers (what we call bachelors’ buttons,
which grow wild here). In the tea-room,
a beautiful gilt-bronze clock is made in
imitation of the Cathedral at Worms, the
face being on the church front. Passing
along, in the various apartments there
were many odd nooks and corners; a
small octagon room jutting out in one
place, draperied off from the main apart
ment, with an antique lamp hanging
from the centre; two or three chairs
placed just right for a view, and an easel
and pencils on the table while on an op
posite side of the room was an alcove
forming half a circle, with broad divans
against its walls, and an elegant table
just near enough to enjoy the pictures
contained in the albums lying upon it.
The concert-room, finished with a
dome and gallery, seemed to form
a central part of the pale oGj ail (l is
finished like all the rest of the building
with oak and heavy stucco decorations,
the floor beautifully inlaid. There are
stiff, carved chairs against the wall, the
scats covered with leather as are those in
tlie dining room beyond. The dining room
contains many rare specimens of glass,
from 1 WO down, and a massive fireplace,
with the front finished with Gothic brack
ets, on which stand gilt-bronze statues of
the Electors of Brandenburg, who were
the first rulers of Germany. The apart
ments of the Emperor's only daughter,
now Duchess of Be,den, (lifer fro® the
others only in being somewhat richer, the
curtains, a screen and two or throe stools
being of black velvet, embroidered with
blue eyes on bachelors’ buttons aud stalks
of grain in gold thread entwined, pro
dding a very rich and beautiful effect.
The rooms of the Crown Princess, ex
actly- like hers at Windsor Castle, are.
like the others, without carpets anil
simple in the extreme, containing oak
furniture covered with a bright check
ed gingham, with a plain xvash stand
in her sleeping room and 1 e(jst>;au ot 'the
plainest p^ssihip utake! bed cur
tains arid window draperies of light cre
tonne. In-aeveral of the rooms, as well
as in these, are drawings and water col
ors, done by the Princess, and just be
yond, in the Emperor’s sleeping room, a
bust of the Empress modelled by her.
Also a garden chair made by the Crown
Prince, is drawn up to the Emnnyjy’g
table, on which lay » j w ordinary toilet
ertlCies and some books. The i>ed in
this room is simply a low, single iron
beostead, with a hard mattress, with
plain curtains drawn about it. Ordinary
oak chairs with leather covers, and a few
pictures of battle scenes make up tlie
outfit. In his work room, next to this,
the walls are lined with books, papers
are piled up on chairs, his desk is cov-
£fcu with documents, interspaced with
pictures of Ids fafeiy, Anne painting of
the Empress when much younger, a fold
ing case containing the Empress, Crown
Prince and Princess and five children,
ami three children of tlie Duchess of
; also iin engraving of Queen Vic
toria and Prince Albert in 1857, which I
was very glad to see, and a beautiful
portrait of Queen Louisa when quite
young,
Mixed Babies.—Some time ago there
was a dancing party given in a certain
neighborhood in Texas, and most of the
ladies present had little babies, whose
noisy perversity required too much at
tention to permit the mothara to enjoy
the dance. A number of gallant young
men volunteered to mind the young ones
while the parents indulged in an old Vir
ginia break-down. No sooner had the
women left the babies in charge of the
mischievous devils than they stripped
the babies, changed their clothes, giving
the apparel of ope to another. The
dance over, it waa time to go home, and
the mothers hurriedly took each a baby
in the dress of her own, and started,
some to their homes ten or fifteen miles
off. aud were far on their way liefore
daylight. But the day following there
was a tremendous r„w in the settlement;
mothers discovf-red’th.'it a single night
had changed the sex of tiiejr babies, ob
servation disclosed physical phenomena,
and then commenced the tallest female
pedestrianism; living relies apart, it re
quired two or three days to unmix the
babies, and as many months to restore
the women to their natural sweet dispo
sitions. To this day it is unsafe for any
of the baby mixers to venture into the
neighborhood.—Waco (Texan) Regixter.

MIDSUMMER MADNESS.
<trant for a Third Term—How to
Ertlnuuikli all Hope ot Republi
can Sueeen*.
Harper's Weekly.
There is a sort of frantic desperation
in the tone in which Gen. Grant’s nomi
nation is urged. The drift of the article
is a plain confession that upon him hangs
the only chance of the Republican parly;
and that the chance arises, not from the
greater wisdom of the Republican policy,
hut from the dire extremity of the coun
try. A more ridiculous strain cannot be
imagined. One of these papers says that
“the sooner the necessity of nominating
Grant is generally recognized, and the
event is accepted as a foregone conclu
sion,” the lietter for the Republican par
ty. Another says that his call to the
Presidency “is believed to he essential to
the welfare of the country.” Mr. Euiory
Storrs, in the Illinois Convention, in ad
vocating. amid loud cheers, the nomina
tion of Gen. Grant, said:
“The laboring man inquires. Shall I
be permitted to labor without interfer
ence from mobs or mob violence? Shall
the wages of my labor be secure? Is
there in this country any one man whom
the nation can place at the head of its
affairs who will see to it, so far as he is
concerned, that in all these I may be se
cure? All these laboring men are asking
themselves this question, and they have
answered it. Property asks this ques
tion. Capital of all kinds makes the in
quiry. Nay, every good citizen, each for
himself, is revolving in his mind to-day.
and has been for months past, who is
there of all others iu this country who,
placed at its head, will see tlrut the great
essentials of life, liberty, prosperity, the
due execution of all the laws, shall lie
protected and carried out?”
All this is unmistakable. Gen. Grant
is to be renominated, not as the repre
sentative of a policy of administration,
but as a savior of society. He is not to
carry out measures that, have lieen argued
before the people, and which have been
approved by them at the polls, but he is
lo protect us against anarchy and the
impending dissolution of social order.
But if he be the one man indispensable
to our continued peaceful national and
social existence, we must keep him in
the position of savior as long as Heaven
graciously spares hint. We cannot, af
ford to take the risk of the dissolution
of society at the end of four years; and
if we can spare him at the end of four
years, we are not in any danger of Such
dissolution, and his nomination is not
necessary.
The reasons urged for the nomination
of General Grant arc typified in a picture
of a man on horseback withstanding a
host of anarchists. Those who do not
think that this is the situation, who do
uot believe that the American Govern
ment is on the edge of chaos, aud who,
therefore, are not desirous of summon
ing a dictator—those w-lio are por yet
tired of free popular institutions, and
who know that agitation is the atmos
phere of liberty—all naturally oppose the
call for a savior of society. We do not
do General Grant the injustice of sup
posing that he has authorized this non
sense, or that it is especially agreeable to
him. lie lias always shown hini=el« to
lie an officer loyal to the laws, and this
presentation of him as the imperial liojie
of America is exceedingly comical,
There is, however, a serious side to it,
and we lieg these heady Republicans to
remember tliiyj: Tnat the chief and vital
objection to the Republican party in thc-
minds of many most patriotic and intel
ligent citizens is the conviction that
it has cume ta regard itself as the
country and the rightful government,
and to consider opposition to itself as
treason, if not a wrong offered to human
nature, and that consequently it holds all
means of perpetuating its power to he
permissible if uot imperative. This con
viction is immensely strengthened by the
ground taken by Republicans to; the
nomination of Gcs. Grant. Tiiat pound
is that he ife save us from de
struction. Every honest, honorable and
patriotic American rejects with scorn
such an assumption. We have laughed
at Democrats who argue that (ton. Grant
lias the ambition of Louis Mapoleon, and
enjoys royal dinners because he wishes to
he a King. But here is a Republican
paper which says of his nomination;
“We have reached a point where a firm,
steady hand is needed to guide the ife
lion.' That is the tone of Upuis Napo
leon’s toadies. The (ly.’.y ui an American
President is (q e xecute the laws, not to
guide iuc' nation firmly. Those who
vociferously, and upon such grounds,
demand tlie nomination of Gen. Grant,
are doing their utmost to extinguish all
hope of Republican success.

The bullets of the pursuing savages were

appalled, however, at the fact that the

dire emergency their coolness did not

The demoniac yeUs of the savages
were now heard clest, to their rear. The

and then began a new phase of the strug

instant for driver and passenger to jump
from thu sta^e and cut loose the leaders.
This they did, aud each man mounting

From an Interview in the Hew Orleans Demo
crat. July 16.
Reporter—So, Mrs. Jenks, you are
back again after your journey, I see ?
Mrs. Jenks—Oh, yes. Not in the least
harmed, however, by the trip.
R-—How did you feel while before the
committee? Did it perturb you?
Mrs. J.—Perturbed? No. Y’ou know
I always keep a cool head. Fortunately
I have that happy quality. Before the
committee I was treated by General But
ler much lietter than I had anticipated.
He didn’t try to bulldoze me in the least.
R.—How about Mr. Potter?
Mrs. J.—Oh! He. from what I saw of
him. is a perfect gentleman. He acted
very nicely. I had imagined him a very
different man.
R.—What is your opinion, Mrs. Jenks,
after what you have seen and heard,
alniut all this?
Mrs. J.—Think about it—(laughter)—
that’s hard to say. Now. don't you re
member liefore I left here I asked you
if you believed a statesman like Sherman
could write such a letter as that ascribed
to him? Don't you remember that?
The reporter answered her that he
did.
Mrs. J.—The idea of Weber going on
the stand and swearing that that letter
he destroyed. (Growing excited). Why,
I wouldn't do such a thing for twenty
million dollars. That's not ine. He has
actually excommunicated himself. The
idea! No, I am not of that kind, 1 tell
you (lapping her fan nervously on the
palm of the right hand), you Democrats
would have had a harder time than you
did in unseating Packard if 1 bad had
my way. Do you think I would have
sat passively arid allowed myself to lx-
driven from my position as he was from
the State House by you? No, never! I
would have poured grape and canister
down those streets on my opponents, and
if they blew the walls of the State House
about my ears I would sick la-uealli
them rathor than give up, aud I wouid
then leave a name that would deserve
immortality. What were we? We w ere
the ship of State when those pirates—
the MaoVeagh-IIarlan statesmen—board
ed us. Y'ou were the foreign port. They
got on board our vessel, put us in irons
aud then sailed our ship of Stale into
yours, the foreign port, ami delivered
us over into bondage; that they did.
R.—The slavery is not unpleasant?
Mrs. J.—No, iVs not that: but to sec
• hose who have claimed to lie men aud
leaders act in so cowardly a manner. I
lielieve I’ll become a Democrat now.
R.—Do so. pH put your prouuuoia-
mento in the morning's paper.
Mr». J.—Oh, no; don't dolhat. I think
I'll go to the West and establish a king
dom. But who will be my Hennerhasscl?
Will you?
*1-—I will. Establish her! But. now,
talking seriously, are you going into the
lecture field?
Mrs J. (laughing)—They made me
offers of that kind in Washington. I re
ceived a number of letters to that effect.
I would accept willingly if they would
get t he members of the Potter Committee
to sit on the platform. You know l
couldn't get up the divine alllatus with
out they were there. You see, without
them 1 d feel lost, and there would be no
stimulus, I couldn’t have anything to
elevate me to my subject.
lb--You returned here much earlier
than I thought.
Mrs. J.—Yes; I came back too soon,
I now regret that I didn't wait until Kel
logg had given his testimony (smiling).
1 wish I hail been there when he testified.
He’s a nice man (patting her little foot
impatiently) I do wish 1 had remained
longer,
•i A ou have liecome quite gener
ally known now, for I noticed your pic
ture in several papers. Did you see
them?
, Mrs, J.—Y’es, and they look like his
Satanic majesty, I think. 1 had some-
pictures taken by Brady, of New Y ork,
that are quite good.
R.—How were you treated by the
members of the press in Washington?
Mrs. J.—Well, at first I read much of
what they wrote, but in a short time I
didn’t, and therefore it was passed idly
by. There is one thing I wan t to tell
you, however, quite a youth, some re
porter, came to see me to interview me,
and qf'.er blushing a good deal and :i_,k
jqg a number of questions—without, gam
ing much knowledge, I assure you—he
bowed himself out. 1 afterwards heard lie
Inul got quite soft nfe spooney about
me, anil tlie next fey wrote to me for rev
photograph to order to gratify (he lit
tle fey 1 sent it (laughing). Tlie Hun
lms also become poetical over me, and l
receive almost daily it sonnet or poem
about myself. It’s quite refreshing. 1
am going now, excuse me.

Jewish society here, whieli was much
exercised recently over the elopement
and clandestine marriage of Miss Helen
Wise to Mr. J. II. Malony, an Irishman
and an Episcopalian, is now equally in
terested in the return of the newly mar
ried couple ami their reconciliation with
the young lady's family. Mr. Malony,
about two years ago, was introduced at
the rabbi’s house by young Leo Wise, the
rabbi's son, and at once tell in kwe with
Miss Helen. Dr. Wise forbade the match
on account of the difference of religion,
and requested Mr. Malony to discontlnuc-
his visits to the house. Mr. Malony did
so, but kept up an uninterrupted corse
spondence with the young lady in the
meanwhile, a correspondence w'hiclt re
sulted four weeks ago in her leaving her
father's residence and accompanying her
lover to the house of a Unitarian minis
ter, where they were uuly imtrrietl
0a hearing the news Dr, Wise dis
owned lyis daughter and forbade her ever
to see him again. It was the opinion of
friends o| ilw family, however, Midi Hip
and tlie
Mitt M Itli't,

tion. On Friday evening W, the eve of
the Jewish Sabbath* Dr. Wise sent for
Mrs. Malony, »nd, after a very pathetic
scene, torgavc her for the step she tout
taken and sent for her husband. .Mr.
Malony obeyed the summons and he and
his wife passed the evening at the rabbi’s
house, tho reconciliation being made
complete with the example set by her
own family. Mrs. Malony is now, of
course, welcome again into Jewish socic
ty, the nine days' wonder is at an end,
and the awkward possibilities of tke
future are left to take care of themselves .
A recently returned South African
traveler, Sig. Scarpaueri, writes that one
of the most striking things connected
with the lion is his extremely grand voice.
It consists at times of a low, deep moan
ing, repeated five or six times, ending in
faintly audible sighs; at other rimes he
startles the forest with loud, deep limed
solemn roam, each increasing in loud
ness until liis voice dies away in several
low, muffled intonations, resembling dis-
tant thunder Not unfrequently a trisirt
may he heard roaring in concert, one
assuming the lead, and two, three or
four more regularly taking up their parts,
luce persons singing a catch. Like Sot
tish stags at the rutting season, they
roi\r loudest on cold, frosty nights, but
on no occasion are their voices to tie
heard in such perfection, or so intensely
powerful, as when two or three strange
troops of lions approach a fountain to
drink at the same time. When this oc
curs, every member of each troop sounds
a held roar of defiance at the enenvy;
and when one roars srii roar together
The grandeur of these noeturnai forest
concerts is inconceivably pleasing to Vhe
hunter's ear, and the effect is largely en
hanced when the hearer is in tbe denlhs
of the forest, at midnight, unaccompa
nied by any attendant, ar.d ensconced

which the troop of lions are approach-
mg. Such, 8;g. Scarpaneri says, has
oeen his situation scores of times, and
though he has a tolerably good taste for
music, he considered the 'catchet with
which he was then regaled as the sweet
est and most natural he had ever heard.
Several notorious criminals were among
the special constables sworn in to keep
the peace in Montreal on the 13th. One
of them, wfiq had beea sent to jail on
the 1st for assault, hail his fine paid by
his friends to secure his release for that
purpose. Some of the special constables
have not called for their pay, being afraid
of being arrested by detectives who
“want” them.
