tien. Bntler is now the Presidential
eandidate of two parties—the Anti-
Monopoly and the Greenback parties, j
They are n t very parties and will j
not attract very much attention in the i
Presidential campaign. Gen. Butler is a
Grernbacker and an Anti-Monopolist,
.nd it is probable he would avow
himself anything else if he thought any
d-elaration of principles that he might
• ike would help him to get the Demo
ritic PresidentiaJ nomination. He no
: übt feels himself able to straddle any
tsum’-er cf platforms. He is a delegate to
; c Democratic National Convention and
ruav y -e depended upon to do what
h<- can to have himsylf placed before the

In his capacity of candidate of the

he will probably draw about

from the Democrats. He has a certain

Tin- Bnmside Embezzlement.
It is probable that there was no great
ins tint <>f surprise In Washington when
it was discovered that Disbursing Clerk
Burnside, of the Post Office Department,
hail embezzled $45,000 of government
funds. When Levis, the broker who
swindled so many Washington people,
was first missed frcci his place of bnsi
n ss it was freely stated that Burnsid
had lieen very intimate with him. There
wu-, then an unspoken suspicion doubt
less that Burnside was one
of the losers. It seems that
Burnside has been living beyond h:s
means, and it may be that be placed money
with with the hope of making good
a shortage in his cash. Taere is no rea
--n why Burnside should be shown
leniency. He occupied a position of trust
and he abused the confidence reposed in
him. He did not need the money he
emb. /zled to buy bread. His salary was
amply sufficient for all reasonable wants.
L- niency to wrong-doers only encourages
wi.ing-doing. It seems that Burnside’s
accounts have not been fully
-ettled for three years. That shows a
very loose way of doing business in the
departments, to say the least of it. Are
there accounts of other disbursing ofli
rs which have not been carefully scru
tinized in that length of time* Who
knows that there are not embezzlements
in other departments ol the government ♦
It i* a good time to give accounts of all
wh ■ handle government money an over
hauling. There appears to be a mania for
jotting rich without regard to the means
employ 1. and it would not be surprising
if Burnside were not the only one who
has been apply ing government lunds to
his own use.
The Penn Bank Swindle.
The Penn Bank swindle at Pittsburg
was almost as great as that of Grant &
Ward in M all street. The President of
the bank. W. N. Biddle, appears to have
a': -i !.vd not only the deposits but about
all the assets of the bank. It is not l>e
lievil that the creditors will get 5 per
cent, of their claims, and the chances are
that they will not get anything. The
statement i* that President Riddle sunk
a!> ut $4.000,000 of the bank's rnonev
in oil ejaculations. The over-drafts
amounted to $1,300,000.
The creditors of the bank will not do
their duty if they do not insist upon Presi
.i. nt Hi.bile’s punishment to the lull ex
t< nt of the law. The Penn Bank is not a
national bank, and is not amenable,
tb-Tcfore. to She national banking laws.
1 but Riddle undoubtedly can lie punished
as a swindler. There is no reason why
there should le any sympathy with a man
wi. . 1.-.s the money deposited with him
in speculations. A bank gets deposits
on the understanding that the money
nill be used in legitimate business
transactions. When the chief officer of a
bank violates the confidence reposed in
him, and put his depositors’ money up
as margins and loses it. he deserves to
1 , trent'-d as a swindler or a robber.
Hli-s' Bi-take.
r. Bliss, late leading government
attorney in the 'tar route cases, has
cans. 4 the question to be raised whether
be i as shrewd as he has been thought to
bo. Mr. Ker, another of the government
attorneys in the star route cases, In his
testimony before the Springer committee,
sai i that in the beginning ot the star route
pros, ut i :is Bliss proposed to let Dorsey
. . This t slim- ay, of course, put Bliss
in a very bad light, and some of the news
papers were prompt to hold him up to
t s, im and cont nipt .of honest men.
T> rebut the damning testimony of
rv r. Btis- wrote to Mr. Merrick, another
~f the . \eminent counsel in the star
r ut, a- s. and asked him to deny Ker’s
ehar-c. Merrick replied in a very pleas
ant letter that there was no proposition
that Dorsey should be allowed to
osoape. Bliss bad Merrick’s letter pub
lished to \ indicate himself. It will be
seen that Merrick does not deny that
Biiss prop sed to let Dorsey escape, but
sals there was no proposition in form.
The N'st thing Bliss could have done was
to have burned Merrick's letter, because
it certainly admits that Ker’s testimony
i> substantially correct. Mr. Springe*
ought to keep hammering away at this star
route business all summer, if that length
of time is necessary to got at the truth.
Ti.o Macon Telegraph and Mfssenger
sty
Neither free trade nor protection, nor
in i- • and any other governmental measure or
t*diey. can l>e half so important to us as
the ir* nervation of the supremacy of the
whin race in the Southern states, and the
■ j mrn-.U or the politician who willfully en
dangers this supremacy will soon find
himself completely isolated from his
and contemporaries.
This is anew way to shut off discussion
of the tariff issue in the South. It is a
very ak way. however, and will hardly
be successful. Wouldn’t it be better for
our esteemed contemporary to show how
the discussion of the tariff issue will over
throw the supremacy of the w hite race in
the Southern States before threatening
isolation, etc.?
The registration ot voters closes at 2
o’clock next Monday (June 2). There
are, therefore, only two days more in
which the citizens of this county can at
tend to the important duty of registering.
It !>ehooves every citizen to qualify him
self to exercise the important franchise
of citizenship. The best interests of every
community demand that the people should
rule, and that no ring, clique, association
or any other combination should take
charge of public affairs. To prevent this
every citizen should not only quality him
self to vote, but vote for the best men.
Just now the duty of every citizen is to
register.

On the Retired List.
If Gen. Grant reads the newspapers
and is at all sensitive to criticism he
cannot be having a very comfortable time.
Since the publication of his letters to
Fish, the President of the broken Marine
Bank, in which he said that he was will
ing that Ward should make all that could
be made by the use of his name and in
fluence, the newspapers haven't spared
him. It is true the letters do
not show conclusively that Grant
knew that Ward was en
gaged in swindling operations, but
Fish's inquiries were sufficient to arouse
suspicion, and ought to have caused him
to make himself acquainted with his firm's
business belore indorsing ard so em
phatically. In Grant's first letter in an
swer to Fish's inquiries, he avoids saying
anything about the government contracts.
He probably knew nothing about them.
He must have shown Fish's inquiries to
Ward, who satisfied him that every
thing was without telling
him the truth, and then secured from him
the second letter to Fish, which contains
the words which seem to indicate that he
was fully aware of the nature of the busi
ness that Ward was doing. The impres
sion is beginning to grow that the Grant
boys knew that the business w-as not
wholly legitimate, because they talked to
Fish and others glibly about government
contracts. Fred. Grant knows, or ought
to know, that there is no honest money
for speculators in government contracts.
Supplies are purchased by inviting bids,
and the competition is very keen. Fred.
Grant must have learned this during ltis
connection with the army. Whether he
did or not, there are few intelligent busi
ness men in the country who do not know
all about the method in which government
supplies are purchased. It is probable
that this experience will cure Grant of
his itching for great wealth. Whether he
knew of Ward’s operations or not, there
are plenty of people who will believe that
he did. He will never again hold the
place he once held in the estimation of the
public, li- cannot very well now avoid
\ retiring into comparative obscurity. He
| may properly be regarded as on the re
| tired list.
The sensational report has again been
given out from New York that Tilden will
positively decline to tie a candidate for the
Democratic Presidential nomination, and
will throw the weight of his influence iu
favor of Senator-elect Payne, of Ohio.
This is a most improbable story. It is be
lieved, in well informed circles, that the
spontaneous support Tilden is receiving
from many sections of the Union, has bad
the effect to make him waver in his de
termination not to allow his name to be
used at Chicago. It is asserted that
his health is better than it has
been in several months, and that
he has so far relaxed his policy of exclu
siveness as to cordially receive everyone
that has any claim to his attention. It
will be remembered that Payne does not
come up to t-fte ideal pictured by Mr. Til
den in interviews several weeks ago.
Among other things it was stated that
the sage ol Gramercy excused himself
from being a candidate on account of his
age and feebleness, and that he added,
with a twinkle of the eye, “Payne is lour
ear3 older than I am.” The twaddle
about Payne appears to have been started
bv the New York Sun, which has a well
deserved reputation for killing off every
candidate it attempts to advocate. Mr.
Tilden is surely not so imbecile as to
think Payne, with his known opposition
to both revenue reform and civil service
reform, would be an acceptable candidate
to any considerable portion of the Demo
cratic party. The Tilden boom is not
transferable by gift, devise or purchase.
The Macon Telegraph and Messenger
says:
But conceding to the Morning News
the right to oppose the return of Mr.
Nicholls to Congress, for any or no rea
son at all, still we are at a loss to under
stand how it can support the re-election
of Senator Brown, who occupies the same
position on the Morrison tariff bill.
Has Senator Brown announced himself
as a candidate for re-election, or said that
he would accept a re-election ? Has our es
teemed contemporary seen any statement
in the Morning News that it was or was
not supporting Senator Brown for re
election? Does our esteemed contempo
rary think that it is doing exactly the
right thing to assume that the Morning
News occupies a certain position and
then proceed to say that it is “at a loss to
understand how” the News can occupy
such a position? Would it not be well
for our esteemed contemporary to answer
the above questions, particularly the last,
before discussing the Morning News
further in connection with Senator
Brown ?
CURRENT COMMENT.
A Still Born Document. .
_\>ic York World (.Lem.).
It i* rcallv gratifving to observe that no at
tention is paid to the dreary swash from the
bl'iody-shirt investigators of the Senate. No
body seems to care for either Danville or
I'opjah, the griefs of Sherman or the sorrows
of l.apham. This is a materialistic age.
Warming Up to Tilden
Philadelphia Record (Ind.).‘
There is one thing alsv.it Mr. Tilden that
would lie pleasant to reflect upon if he were
again in the field for President. He is so
thoroughly committed to tariff reform that
any weakening of hi* position, by his own
declaration or in the platform on which he is
placed, would be accounted as a softening of
the brain of candidate and party. If Mr.
Til ien i not for tariff reform he is not for
Tilden. and no man accuses him of unfaithful
ness to himself.

districts as Ashtabula. Ohio, would say out
and out that it would he absurd tomake a run
with Arthur in their district.” The Ohio
man nev. r feels contented unless voting for
somebody who has been the subject of from
one to litilf a dozen Congressional investiga
tions. |f it is necessary to take a man that

Bloody Shirt’s Day Passed.
AVtr York Evening Post (Rep.).
The indifference with which the country
receives the reports of the Senate Outrage
Committee is gratifying evidence that as an
is-uc the “bloody shirt" has had its day. It
is very doubtful" if the reports w ill ever lie
read through by a hundred persons outside or
the newspaper offices. The Republican ma
jority re|>ort gives all the evidence as strong
a Republican interpretation as it can stand,
and the Democratic minority renortgoes just
as far in the opposite direction. Neither of
them is likely to be of much value as a cam
paign document. The contest of this year will
turn on other issues.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
Truth was not quite right in its story about
Bismarck complaining of lieiDg checked for
whistling on the Sabbath in Scotland. What
he said was: "The English and American
mode of Sunday observance it a terrible form
of tyranny. Tiie first time 1 set foot on Kng
lis soil was at Hull, and 1 began whistling iu
the streets, w hen an English fellow traveler
said, -Oh, prav don't.’ ‘Why,’ said I. is it
prohibited*’ ‘So,’ was the reply. ‘lt’s not
aga iist the law, but don’t you know it’s the
Sabbath?" I was so angry that I left the town
at once and took the next steamer for Edin
burgh." Here the Chancellor seems to have
whistled along Princes street with impunity.
A Bridgeport (Conn.) firm does an exten
sive business in shipping from that section to
Sau Francisco seed oysters, for replanting in
the waters off the Pacific coast. Most of these
oysters are taken from the natural bed off
s'tratford. One of the firm has just returned
from his last trip with oysters to Nan Fran
cisco. having successfully supervised the
transportation of twelve car loads of young
oysters across the continent. He wu twelve
days on the journey, and kept one day ahead
of "the oyster train ’the entire time, in order to
make llic arrangements for renewing the sup
ply of ice necesasry to keep the oysters alive
and in good eondition. In Nan Francisco and
along the coast of California oysters in the
shell are a luxury.
A lady in Danvers, Mass., writes t<s a Bos
ton paper that she can show a lineage cover
ing an unusua'ly long stretch of years with a
few generations, and all living in the same
place. The father of her great-grandfather
was born in 16*>!1 in a house already built by
his father, a portion of which still stands firm
aud sound, but built around ami added to at
several times since. From that child, born
18*19, tiie place came to bis son, born 1707; from
him to son born 174i; from him to son born
17T4: from him to the present owner, born
1814. All of these have successively had the
place as their home, starting about as far
back as lwio, making it now near 2so years.
Tiie laud came into possession of the tamily
1859, or 225 years ago.
AT a dinner given by the late Judah P. Ben
jamin to Mr. Evans. Benjamin mentioned,
apropos of the interruptions of Judgesdhat in
an argument before the House gl Lords, a
very learned member of that body, having
frequentlv interposed, at last met a proposi
tion of his’ with the ejaculation "Monstrous!”
on which Mr. Benjamin tied up his papers,
bowed, and retired. The noble lordsuDse
qoentlv sent a public conciliatory message,
and made every possible reparation. Mr.
Evans capped this story with one from this
side of Jhe water. A lawyer who bad often
been interrupted in a difficult case stopped,
and, facing the bench, said: “I have toldyoar
Honors that this is a puzzling case, and l am
afraid it will be made even more so if your
Honors put questions more puzzling than the
facts themselves.’’
Another crop of scandal is promised in
connection with the left-handed marriage of
the Grand Duke Louis IV. of Hesse. Mine. De
Kalamine, the morganatic spouse whom Louis
wishes to divorce to please liis mother-in-law.
Queen Victoria, now threatens fight and
promises some ugly revelations, hlie says
that the Grand Duke's life since the death of
his wife. Princess Alice, would not bear close
scrutiny, and that she has the best of reasons
for knowing of some of his lapses. She also
say* that if she has committed such ante
nuptial sms as are charged by the Grand
Duke, she did not sin without a partner, and
that if there were any sin and any partner
ship therein the Grand Dute knows who the
partner was. She declares it the height of
ungenerosity to tax her with such offenses to
gratify the spleen of another woman, and she
threatens to “tear the whole Darmstadt Court
to pieces.” morally, if the Grand Duke per
sists in his attempt to secure a divorce on ac
count of any charges to lie alleged against
her.
In 151-6 a party of Zurich men, moved by
some very kindly feeling toward Strasburg.
contrived to reach that city in one day in a
light boat, bringing with them a huge iron
pot, whose contents were smoking on their ar
rival. Addressing the Strasburg authorities,
who came to welcome them, the leader of the
Zurich men said: “You are doubtless aston
ished to see us bring such a shabby gift as a
mess of millet; but it is only a symbol. If
ever, which God forbid, Strasburg should be
in distress, she has friends who will come to
her aid before a dish of millet will have time
to grow cold.” This promise, made in 157 ti,
was fulfilled in lWt, when Zurich hastened to
show all the kindness she could to the unfor
tunate people of Strasburg, and now a memo
rial is atKiut to lie raised in Zurich street at
Strasburg inscribed: “1870. To the descend
ants of the confederates of old time, who. to
keep the promise made by their ancestors,
came with all speed to the aid of Strasburg
when she was overwhelmed with misfortune.”

Says a fashion writer: “It is difficult, nay.
almost impossible, to infuse any picturesque

when he comes back if he hasn’t succeeded in
infusing picturesqueness into those clothes.—

FLORIDA POLITICS.
Afflicted with the Gubernatorial Fever.
Tallahassee, May 27.—After travel
ing extensively over the State, I landed
here, and, of course, expected to find the
political pot boiling. Nothing of the kind,
however. Except for the work done,
greatly in a quiet way, by Drew's hench
men to secure his nomination, you hear
little of politics. The people are busy,
the State prosperous and all things move
smoothly. Drew’s runners are out and
endeavor, through interviews and other
publications, to show that their par
ticular man must be nominated or the
State will react from the great “boom”
the present administration has given her.
Silly idea. The great obstacle to
Florida’s progress was taken away when
her internal improvement fund was re
lieved three years ago. From that date
the future historian will mark the great
impulse given to her prosperity, and
nothing but absolute folly it} her future
rulers can stop her career on to a grand
and glorious future.
I have met large numbers of influential
citizens in all parts of the State who will
not support Drew. Should I relate por
tions of his record as given to me iii Jack
sonville, Sanford and Middle Florida, it
would seem sheer recklessness to place
his name before the people. Not only has
he his runners and interviewers out, but
he is said to be on the warpath himself. I
learn that he was here a few days ago
looking around; the next thing he stops at
Live Oak, it is said, etc., etc, He has the
Gubernatorial fever badly. Observer.
TILDEN, TAMM ANY AND CLEVE
LAND.
Varying Views in Reference to the Old
Ticket
An Albany correspondent of the New
York Herald of the 28th had the following
conversation with a Democrat whose
close relations with prominent men in his
party gives him superior sources of in
formation:
“How much truth is there in the report
that the Tilden and Tammany forces are*
agreed upon the presentation of Cleve
land as the candidate of this State at
Chicago?”
“Not a word.”
“What, not one?”
“Not half a one. You see, your inquiry
involves several projiositions. First, that
the Tilden and Tammany men are agreed;
next, that they are agreed upon Cleve
land; next, that the Democracy of this
State is ready to go to Chicago as a united
party. Not one of these propositions is
true.”
“But the Tilden and Tamimanv men are
agreed in tbeir demand for the old ticket?”
“Well, who says that the Tilden men
want the old ticket? Tilden wants his
end of the old ticket and Tammany wants
the other end. By ‘the old ticket’ the
Tilden men mean Tilden. They will
‘listen to reason’ as to the name to be put
in the second place. They never rejoiced
much over Hendricks, even in the best
days of the ticket. Tammany, on the
other band, understands the words ‘old
ticket’ to mean Hendricks, and desires
the old ticket only because she gambles
on Tilden’s death. So you see the agree
ment is not so clear.’ ”

CONVENTION NOTES.
Flanigan on Hand—Foraker to Nomi
nate Sherman—TV hat Bogan's Mana
ger* Have to Say.
A cold wind lias whistled across Chi
cago from the lake all day. says a Thurs
day’s dispatch, and early arriving dele
gates who came here suitably clothed for
a hot spell crept up to the fireplaces in
the hotels like flies in November. The
premature Southerners, like the Hon.
Webster Flanigan, of Texas, and Powell
Clayton, of Arkansas, are greeted with
“Shoot the straw hat!’’ and “Spout the
dusters!” whenever they go abroad.
The only explanation of the sud
den dron in the thermometer is
that we are getting the frosty
breath of the Edmunds iceberg, which is
expected to heave in sight to-morrow.
The hotels are filling up tonight with
politicians. They come two or three
at a time, and represent a dozen different
States. The breaking up of the unit rule
makes chaos and confusion. The dele
gations are nearly all split up. and do not
come on together or get together after
their arrival. The result is that head
quarters of the factions are hard to dis
cover.
THE HON. WEBSTER FLANIGAN,
of Flanigan’s Mills, who made the fa
mous speech. “What are we here for but
to get office?” in 1880, takes no stock in
any break to Blaine from the South. He
says that the South is solid for Arthur,
and that he will be nominated.
“Yes. sir,” said Mr. Flanigan, “the
Republican party, with Chester A. Arthur
as their Presidential nominee, will sweep
the country from Maine to California, and
Minnesota" to Texas. Mark my predic
tion! And I think 1 know what I atn
s ving. When the convention begins
balloting the people will be surprised at
the figures which the tally-sheet will
show for Mr. Arthur. Blaine will dis
cover after the first ballot that Mr. Arthur
is away ahead, and that he (Blaine) will
not be able to turn over many votes for
any person but Arthur.”
THE MANAGERS OF THE LOGAN MOVE
MENT.
are Federal officers. With Logan
out of the way they would naturally go to
Arthur. On the other hand, many of the
Logan delegates in Illinois were chosen in
rural districts where Blaine is strong,
and. with Logan out ot the way, they
would naturally go to Blaine. Managers
and delegates would doubtless be affected
in some degree by the desires of the Sena
tor, if he should reach an agreement with
another candidate. A few weeks ago it was
asserted by men who were working for
Logan that he had an understanding with
Blaine, and it is generally believed here
now that his relations with Blaine are
friendly and intimate. “But why should
we go to Blaine,” said one of Logan’s
trusted lieutenants yesterday, “if the
addition of all our votes would not give
him a majority.”
THERE IS A GROW ING IDEA
that there will lie a long siege of ballot
ing, as both the Blaine and Arthur dele
gates will refrain from trading for com
plimentary votes for fear that the opposi
tion candidate may get too big a .lead.
The supporters of the leading candidates
are expected to stick closely to their
choice as long as there is a chance of
winning. It is said that the Blaine and
Logan forces have agreed to give their
votes to Sherman if it should become ap
parent that there is no longer any hope of
their candidates getting the prize.
A BLAINE MAN WAS ASKED;
“When will the Blaine contingent begin
to arrive?”
“It is coming in now. I expect Jerome
Chaffee very shortly. Some Pennsylva
nians will get in to-morrow.”
“Whom will Blaine's support go to if he
can't be nominated ?”
“To nobody. Blaine nominated the
man in 1880 by withdrawing. He will let
the other fellow withdraw this year. We
shall keep him in the field and let him be
beaten by a combination of all others
against him, if he is beaten at all. He is
going to win, however, and it isn’t worth
while talking about a dark horse.”
JUDGE FORAKER WAS SEEN THURSDAY
in Cincinnati and asked if it was true
that he is to present the name of Senator
Sherman to the Republican National Con
vention. “Yes,” he replied, “I have been
asked by Senator Sherman to present his
name. He wrote to me some time ago
saving that he would regard it as a favor
if i would.”
“In that case he is in the field for a
strong fight?”
“It looks that way, and why not? I
have thought for a year that Shermau
would be the candidate, because of the
way affairs are taking shape in this coun
try". 1 remember that two Presidents in
succession have already been taken from
Ohio, but the country seems to demand
Sherman.”
“Will he win?”
“I think so. "When the business men’s
meeting was held in New York I at once
wrote to Senator Sherman, telling him the
event was the most propitious accident
for his interests and that he would at once
be brought into prominence. Business
men would see that his record and finan
cial ability made him the best candidate
for these times. On the heels of that meet
ing came the panic, and ‘it is an ill wind
that blows nobody good.’ It brought
Sherman out strong before business men
and delegates with consciences.”
GRANT & WARD.
Amount of Their Liabilities.
Gen. E. 15. Smith, Mr. Fish’s lawyer,
was asked Wednesday, says the New
York Sun, what truth there was in the
statement, which Mr. Fish said Ward
made to him, that President Arthur and
Gen. Phil Sheridan had been interested in
the contracts. Mr. Smith said: “That
was one of Ward’s lies, and a part ol the
fiction which he invented to deceive Mr.
Fish. Neither the President nor Gen.
Sheridan had anything to do with any
contracts. Ward simply used their names
to trade on.”
“What do you think are the actual lia
bilities of the firm of Grant & Ward?”
“I think thev would lie a great deal less
than $3,000,000 if the fictitious profits
drawn out were returned. The apparent
liabilities of $14,000,000 are easily ex
plained away. Money obtained by pledg
ing securities was used to buy other se
curities. which were again pledged, and
so on with the repledgine. until the fig
ures had grown to large proportions,
while there was really only a small sum
involved. When these loan’s and pledges
are adjusted it will be found that fully
three-fourths of the liabilities are wiped
out. Of the fttlance of $4,000,000, a great
part was paid out in fictitious profits, for
the recovery of which suits are being
brought.”
“How much profit was drawu out bv
Gen. Grant?”
“That I cannot tell, as 1 have no means
of knowing.”
Receiver Davies was asked how much
money was drawn as profits from the firm
by Gen. Grant. He said: “I cannot say
how much Gen. Grant has taken, as I do
not vet know, and besides, my position
as receiver would only justify me in tell
ing it before the referee.”
“Is it true* that after adjusting the
loans, and deducting fictitious profits, the
actual liabilities ot the firm would be
small!”
“So far a9 my examination has gone, it
would not justify me in affirming any such
thing.”
Mr. G. C. Holt, the private assignee of
Ward, said that Ward had not yet fin
ished his private schedule of assets. He
added that there were no assets to speak
of.
Lawyers Stillman and Sheppard re
fused "to say anything. They are Ward's
counsel.
Mr. James B. Fish was asked: “Was
it true, as you said Ward told you, that
President Arthur and Gen. Sheridan were
interested in contracts?”
“No, it was not true. That was one of
Ward’s inventions. 1 am sorry their
names were published. I especially
asked that they should not be men
tioned.”
“Do you know ot any civil order of ar
rest against you?”
“No. I do not. and I do not believe that
there is any. No one could have any in
terest in bringing such a suit. It would
be very inconvenient fqr me, as such ex
cessively high hail is required.”
“Do you know how much money Gen.
Grant drew out of the firm ?”
“No. but I know this: The profits were
divided into four parts at the end of each
month, and each partner was supposed to
draw his share. It is probable that Gen.
Grant did not always draw his profits. In
regard to myself, I did not draw out more
than I put in. I paid all the notes in
dorsed by me, and there is really an actual
balance due me from the firm.”
“•Have vou other letters from Gen.
Grant?”
“Yes; but the most important ones have
been published.”
“Are you preparing an inventory of
your assets?”
“Yes. lam busy at it.”
One of the expert accountants employed
on the books of the firm said yesterday:
“I don’t believe we shall ever get to the
Jjottom of matters, as everything appa
rentlv has been purposely complicated.
Unless Mr. Ward can straighten things
out. the statement, at best, will be an ap
proximation. As showing how the con
tract system was worked, I can mention
one as a sample. On the 18th December,
1883, Mr. 8. B. Elkins put in $50,000,
which was to remain until January 8, or
20 davs. At this date he drew out SOO,OOO,
•a profit of SIO,OOO. or at the rate of 1 per
cent, per dav. This, I think, is the high
est rate of interest thus far shown to have
been agreed upon.”

WHAT STRUCK AN OLD SOLDIER.
“It will soon be twenty years since the war
closed.”
Uniter the hot sun of August, 1882, the vil
lage of Dover, N. J., lay still as the sphinx in
Egypt, while Elijah Sharp, of that place,
slowly and softly spoke of the past. “Yes,”
he 6aid. “I was in the anny and saw many of
the sights of those fearful years. I was finally
discharged from disability, resulting from
sunstroke. I came home, miserable in health
and spirits; so enfeebled that I took cold on
the slightest exposure. Life seemed worth
less to me; i lived only in memory.”
“That was sad enough,” I said, dividing my
last two cigars.
“That's so.” responded Mr. Sharp; “but I
got over it. Outgrew it? Not exactly. When
in that condition I began taking Parker's
Toxic, and my health commenced to improve
right away. I was astonished at it. and so
was my wife. I piled on the flesh and could
eat anything. My ambition blazed up. I could
attend to business, and now—excepting that I
have to take care about exi>osing myself to the
hot su 11— I am as well as I was the day I en
listed. What differences there are in things—
gnus and bayonets kill; Parker's Tonic
saves.”
This preparation, which has been known as
Parker's Dinger Tonic, will hereafter he
called simply Parker’s Tonic. As unprinci
pled dealers arc constantly deceiving their
customers by substituting inferior articles
under the name of ginger, and as ginger is
really an unimportant ingredient, we drop
the misleading word.
Thtrt in no change. hotccter. in the prepara
