What tub Grant Hxx Bar.—The Grant
people say that Grant’s statement, in his in
terview with tho Yioeroyot China, that he
will net again be a candidate for the P-est

toga right ahoad, without consulting his
wishes, and plaoe him in nomination, as they
feel they can do with ease. They say that
Sherman's candidacy only helpa Grant, for
the reason that the more candidates there
are with some positive strength the mare

—The Paris Petit Journal givea an inter
esting aooonnt of the progress of Preach
savings, which shows what a wonderfully
thrifty as well as wealthy country Franoe Is.
The deposits for the seventeen years before
the war showed a very marked Increase in
the material prosperity of the oountry, their
annual progression being abant 33,000,000
franoe, or $0,000,000. After the war the
deposits fell suddenly from 730,000,000
francs to 615,000,000 francs in 1872; then
they began to rise gradually to £35,000,030
francs In 1873, and to 673,000,000 francs in
1871. At this date suooosiful efforts were
mads to propigate the system of savings
banks, and tho deposits rose to GO J.000,003
francs in 1875, to 709,030,003 francs In 1873,
to 863,000,000 francs in 1877, and to 1,010,-
030,000 franca in 1878. Thus, inthsspaoe
of four years, the deposits augmented 437,-
000,000 franos. No deposit Is allowed to
exceed 1,000 francs; when this snm Is ex
ceeded the savings bank purchases rentes,
which it delivers to the depositor.
Economists ix she Sex ate —The Wash

Kentucky, on a salary of $5,000 ayear, saved
over $1,000, and daring sfx years, in the
Senate laid by $25,000. It is related or him
that he sat np all night onoe upon a time
playing poker at a ten-cent limit. In the
morning some friend asked him how he oame

cents quicker than hell oonld aootch a fea

millionaire, is a little close In his personal
expenses. Darien the sitting of the Senate
it is his habit to go to Aunt Mary, the pie-
woman in tho corridor, for his lunch. Lay
ing his hand on a plate of cakes or apples,
ha askc: ‘How much are those?’ Two
cents.’ 'And these?’ laying his band on
another plate. ‘Three cents.’ 'Oh, Mary,
you’re too high.’ Then he will bay a piece
of pie and a glass of milk, and standing at
the counter (he weighs 383 pounds) he eata
his lunch with tranquillity.
—In an article on tho Russian peasantry
tho Molva observes that the chief peaeant in
a village sometimes has more power than
any min in the empire except the Czar. He
has tho power for Instance, of ordering a
culprit to be flogged, a right which is denied
by law to any other public functionary or
cltiaen in the empire. Farther, a majority
of tha peasants In a commune can sentence
one of their number to be beaten with sticks,
and there Is no appeal against tha sentence,
and the commune can still sentence a man
to banishment to Siberia for life. This sen
tence has been passed for anoh petty off an-
css as stealing a handkerollief or a little
honey, or opening a brandy shop without the
permission of the oommune. In the Govern
ment of Samara a man was sentenced to be
banished, togsther with his family. Shortly
after, however, the Senate, to whom the
case was referred, decided that the man
should bo permitted to remila in his village,
on tho ground that his health would not per
mit of his going to Siberia. The one of the
man’s wife, however was not considered; and
the sentence was curled ont, so fsr as she
was concerned, though she wss innocent of
any crime, and had been direo’.ed to go to
Sib3iia merely In order that aho should not
be separated from her husband.
‘How Two Giaia Tnm Faaxixo.’—The
New York Ferall says: ‘How Two Girls

the freshest and pleasantest little books of
the reason, and wo reoommend it to those
girls who aro wearing ont their lives at the
sowing machino, behind counters, or even
at the teaoher’s desk. The two girls who
tried fanning solved a problem by taking
tho hall by the horns, and that is often as
effectual a means asean bo resorted to.
Their experience a are, we believe, founded
on faot. Dorothea Alice Shepherd and
Loulso Burney, as children together, bnilt
many car tile in tho air, which resulted in a
substantial farmhouse In the West. They
had for capital $1,000. With this they
bought thirty-five acres of ‘scraggy’ farm
land. Then they hired ont as ‘lady help’ for
the winter and laid by enough money to bny
clover seed and a horao and a few other
necessities. When in the spring they took
possession of their ‘homo’ (there was a dilapi
dated old bouse on the place), they had very
littlo household furniture, but they didn’t
care. Their only carpet for fonr years was a
rug one of them had braided. Their window
curtains sosllooed newspapers, three chairs,
a bedstead, three plates and aa many caps

and harrow and to make hay, and even to
ont wood. Both girls worked bard, and it is
pleasant to chronicle ibeir success. Now
they have a prosperous farm, and raise cows,
sheep, pigs and chickens, and, aa they do

Emigration From Sheffield.
At Sheffield, England, on Monday
night last, a great meeting of working
men was held to promote emigration; and
it has been stated previously that the ob
ject is favored by the wealthier classes
there. It is founded on the painfnl ad
mission that the labor market is over
stocked, and that employment cannot bo
famished which will enable the skilled
workmen to earn a subsistence. A co
operative movement is, therefore, in
progress, by which these workmen may
be shipped to America or Australia and
remitted to the chances offered by a new
er and lees crowded conntry.
In Sheffield fabrios and trade in steil
and iron predominate, and it is presum
ed that the mass of the proposed emi
grants are workers in these medals.
The trade of Sheffield in these articles
is rapidly diminishing, and is in danger
of rain from various causes, among whioh
the increasing coat of British iron and
fael are important. Bnt perhaps more
important still le the superiority of
American mannfaotures of the same
character.
It is an admitted fact that in the whole
line of agricultural and mechaaical tools,
American implements are far in advance
of those made in Europe. This fact has
been eatabliabed to universal satisfaction
in the international exhibitions of the
last twenty years, and the result has
told disastrously on the business of Shef
field.
It is said to be an outgrowth of tha t
minute division of labor which has here
tofore been considered one of the condi
tions of technical perfection. The man
who labors year after year on a single
part of an implement, and knows nothing
of its n3e and has nothing to do bnt to
follow pattern, neither thinks about nor
suggests any improvements; while he
who builds the whole machine end thinks
and talks about its uses, is fall of schemes
to make it move effective. This is one
great secret of the rapid advance of
American manufactures—30 rapid as to
make a revolution almost in every deo-
ade.
But be the oaasa what it may, to see
the skilled mechrnictl labor of Great
Britain starved out is more ominous of
evil to Great Britain than a halt in her
career of foreign cocqieat—for, in the
last analysis, in her case, it is trade and
the shop that pay and support all.
A few days ago some hundred of these
Sheffield cutlers landed in New York, to
begin a large establishment for the man-
nfactnre of pocket cutlery in New Jer
sey. Sheffield, np to within twenty years
paet, supplied the world with pocket
knives, and few people, even now, have
ever had a good pocket knife which did
not bear the Sheffield stamp. But in a few
years Uncle Samuel will Send ont knives
whioh will I&ngh at Sheffield, and the
tools of the world will emanate from
America. So will all implements of iron
and ateel. So will the more ‘ anbstantial
fabrics in the way of clothing. This
great conntry (remaining at peace, and
nnspoiled by the infamous arts and prac
tices of political partisans) will hold the
trade of the world in its commerce and
manufactures, and achieve a wealth and
influence unexampled in human history.
AGameot Smut.
Evidently a somewhat protracted game
of smut is going on at tha expense of
Hon. Samuel J. Tilden. Daring the last
presidential election the face of the ven
erable Samael was blackened with an in
dictment for perjury and fraud in the
matter of the return of his personal inn
come for taxation, and although the yel
low damp of years is discoloring that
official charge, it cannot be brought to
tbe test of trial. Tilden’s friends say
trial is delayed and postponed as often
as ha comes forward to answer and de
fend himself. He has no ohance to wash
off the smut.
Hia venerable countenance has also been
smooched by allegations tco numerous
to mention in reference to mysterious and
nrknowable railway transactions in the
West.
Moreover,even the unmitigated scamps
who bribed and perjured him onto! his
eleotion in 1876, have smooched him with
charges of operating in the same line t
countermine their villanies. Then come,
a charge from Mr. Cyras W. Field of bad
faith in Mr. Tilden in selling ont elevated
railway stock at an nnproptlioas time,
and without giving Field notice; and
upon the subject matter of this letter,
Field makes a grave insinuation, to whioh
a correspondent of the World calls notice
as follows:
‘Mr. Field, in his statement to your
reporter, a alleged to have said, after
alladtng to the fact that it depended on
the decision of the Coutt of Appeals
whether the stock would be of much or
little value, T then concluded that it
would be well, in oase the decision of the
Court of Appeals was against us, to have
some strong legislative ally in the concern/
And again, *1 told him at tho time that
if I teas sure about the decision of tie Court
of Appeals, I would not want him or any
body else to go in, and Tie understood the
matter. That is the way he came into it,
and now he has got 11,000.000.”
'As a simple question of ethics, it
woald, I take it, be just aa nefariona on
the part of Mr. Tilden to use his great
position to influence legislation from
Bach a motive as is alleged by Mr. Field,
as it would be to influence a court.
So it appears that a unanimous patty
has gathered around him, the said Sam.
uel, for the purpose of smutting the
visago of him, the said Samuel, to the
prejudice of hia reputation a3 an honest
man. Tho times demand a lustration.

investigation, and, if one may credit ru
mor, it is hard to find a sound spot any
where., The "reliable gentlem ra” brings
new, strange and startling reports every
day, and it may be that for once the sen
sational may have pat on the sober ha
biliments of truth. It may well be feared
that the fast and expensive ways of At
lanta are so entirely unsaitsd to official
responsibility on small salaries, that a
quasi social necessity for larger incomes
has brought about a very general weak
ness in moral and statutory Jaw. We
hope not. But "they say” the track of
investigation lies through a swAmpy

coming to next, or how long it will lake
to get through.

T lie Great Iron Room.
Ths most lively topio In the Northern
and Western press just now is lhe sad
den, rapid and groat revival of the iron
trade in tha United ’States, upon whioh
is predicated something like a correspond
ing revival in all other trade interests.
As to tho iron boom, a Cincinnati dis-
patoh to tha Chicago Tribune reviews’
the situation as follows:
"Furnaces that have lain idle for years
are beiDg put in blast, and in some lo
calities rolling mills are running night
and day. In others they are ran twelve
hoars, and the men are paid for one and
one-fifth cf a days’s wages. Dealers agree
thst the advance of prioes is fully estab
lished. A leading Cincinnati firm report
larger sales for July than for any preced
ing three months in the history of their
business. They say there is a scarcity of
iron in the market. Every manufacturer
of railroad supplies has more orders than
he can fill, and some of the rail mills are
sold ahead for a year. Another encour
aging feature, is that they now have vol
unteer orders, where heretofore they have
had to dram np custom. Still another is
the number of cash buyers. A great many
are discounting their bills instead of giv
ing notes. Swift’s Bolling Mill has been
obliged to refute orders for rails at ad
vanced rates. They are running night
and day, but are behind in orders. All
the mills, they say, have sent oat circu
lars advancing prices. Mitchell, Tranter
k Co/s mill is six weeks behind with or
ders, and running double time. The
Globe Bolling Mills report a similar situ
ation of affairs. They think the advance
in prices permanent, and will soon go
further. The works at Pittsburg have
gold up to their capacity for the rest of
the year at prices that will net them
$500,000 profit for 1879. The steel mills
are wall filled with orders. The recent
advance in railway iron and spikes is
also a promient feature in the situation
Leading manufacturers look for a heavy
increase in the fall trade. The only
quarter from which danger is to be feared,
they say, is that the advance in pig iron
may be overdone, as it was in 1873.”
Southern People at Old Point
Com tort.
(Old Point Comfort Letter to Phila. Times.)
I think it is pretty generally conceded that
there are no girls in tbe world like the girls
that dwell in that paradise of horns stretch
ing all the way down from Baltimore to New
Orleans. .Their soft, cooing, dove like
voices alone are irresistible. You oonld lis
ten to nonsense from their lips witn pleasure
for the mere melody of its intonation; but
Southern girls talk very little nonsense, and
absolutely no elaDg, not even “ Pinafore’"
slang. Try and picture to yourself the com 1
fort of being a whole week ia a place where
you can open your month to say ’’never”
without imminent dagger of having the
“hardly ever” repartee thrnet upon yon.
And the eduoated girls here are of so differ
ent a type from those terrible beings, the
Boston women of "cutchaw.” To be rare,
they don’t keep as well “abreast with the
times ” Yon don’t hear them discussing
James, Jr., or Matlock, or Julian B.nrgis;
they are apt to look upon the Waveriy novels
as current literature, and they still consider
Scott a great writer We of the North, of
coarse, know better; we have been tanght
to reoognize in Scott only a dear, kindly old
■on!, who had a craze for writing nnreadible
fictions Bat. as I have said, the latest lite
rary information has not yet traveled South
ward. On the other hand, the Senthem girl
le likely to have a very familiar acquaintance
with the standard authors, the authors who
are ao much praised and so little read, and
to be generally well grounded in all sorts or
old fogy knowledge. The other night 10761-
heard a small party amusing themselves by
propounding classical questions, and acquitt
ing themselves in a most creditable manner,
oven the gentlemen Joining In and showing
a quite remarkable familiarity with the names
of the nine muses and the threa graces and
the three fates, and any number of heathen
gods and goddesses. I couldn’t help recall
ing to mind a yonnd friend of mine, a rhila-
delphian, who failed to pass the preliminary
elimination exacted of law atndents because
of his inability to give (ho names of the
twelve Cretan and a few other historical
characters, and I remember how pathetically
ha assured me that if they only had aekad
him about the things he knew they would
have been astonished at the extent and variety
of nis information, as h. oonld have given
them the names or the twelve apostles and
of the twelve signs of the zodiao, the latter
either in prose or verse. Well, these young
people didn’t I have to suggest whit inter-
r.gatoxies should be put to them: they an
swered whatevoc «u -abed them, very fully
and easily.
Tho Southern gentlemen have, I think,
less of what we oaii “style” than the young
men of either New York or Philadelphia or
Boston : that is, they do not dress as well
(the majority or them, indeed, dress abomi
nably,) and they have less of that cold ele
gance of manner, the surface veneer, which,
while it gives exterior polish, does not always
guarantee innate kindliness and snavity.
Bnt there is a peculiar warmth and frank
ness about tin m which is very pleasant, and
in their intercourse with strangers, especial
ly, they set an example which I wish their
North, rn brothers would Imitate.
What Is to Become of Liberia ?
Charleston News and Courier.)
The prediction by the News and Courier,
more than a year ago, that tbe experi
ment of negro self-government in Liberia
would be brought to a conclusion before
its results could be fully developed, seems
already to be on the point of fulfillment.
A letter recently reoeived from Clement
Irons, probably the best of all the emi
grants who embarked on the Azor, ehowa
that men of bis class appreciate the weak
ness and inefficiency of the Liberian Gov
ernment, although, perhaps, they have no
defin" plan for remedying the evil. The
Bspu • u is financially bankrupt, English
capii.iists holding its premises to pay
and pojsessing tbe power to enferoe their
claims. Tbe Liberians themselves, oat-
side of tbe offioe-holders and their friends,
are restleBB and discontented tnler the
existing state of things.
The moat powerful tribes of natives
scattered through the country have an-
nonneed their determination to secede,
and called upon the English Government
for protection. With no money, no cred
it, and no army on either side, a civil
war in Lib3ria wonld be merely a series
of gnerilla fights, “bushwh&ckinga” and
raids. Ia a contest of thiB kind it will
require little time for the few thousand
of Liberian fighting men to be run cff.
their property destroyed, and bnsinees
blocked. Tho natives are scattered about
the country very muoh as the negroes
are here, and their uprising will inevita
bly bring ruinous disaster. Liberia has
no friend bat tho United States, and for
the United States to nndertake an Afri
can war wonld be &3 impossible as it
would be ridiculous. There seems,
therefore, nothing to check the progress
of events which is harrying ths Black
Republic into the grasp of that great
power npon whose domain tho sun never
sets.
Jk New Variety of sweet folate,
Mr. Dowso Brsdweli, writing from Su-
wtnuee Springs, in Florida, to his paper,
tbe Hineavilie (Go.) Qazetle : speaks of
the “Providence Pctito,” a new variety,
which bids fair to eclipse them all. He
says: “This variety of the potato, the
ongia o* which is remarkable, deservet
some notice. A missionary among the
Indiana in the Everglades found a potato
vice in sn old field. From this single
vine ho obtainoi potatoes enough to sub
sist upon and Email ones for seed.
These he gave to a friend, and in that
way tho po;ato was Introduced. Mr. M.
assures ns that from five potatoes thirty
bushels were gathered the first eeasou. In
six weeks from the time they are planted,
potatoes large enough for table use oan
be obtained. When new, the tstte is
very similar to the old jam, being very
sweet and destitute of the tar of tho
West India yam.”

The Co flailing of the Sexes.
.New York Timex]
There oan be no question thst appear
ances were terribly against the Bev. Mr,
Hopper, and that the public was justified
in believing for a time that he was guilty.
Now that the truth of the matter has
come to light, it it seen that Mr. Hop
per has been a most unfortunate, but en
tirely innocent man. Hie oase is proba
bly without parallel, and he deserves the
warmest sympathy, sinoe he has dearly
been the viotim of a most painful acoi-
dent.
The cofishing of the sexes has all the
objectionable features and none of the ad
vantages of the coeducation o! the sexes.
A young man and young woman can de
rive neither pleasure njr profit from
fishing together, provided they really
fish. Of oourse, many who have gone
forth to a secluded stream, ostensibly to
fish have remained to flirt; but in such
cases fishing was made a dishonest and
indefensible pretext for flirting. To
seriously fish involves the nse of bait,
and bait cannot be combined with sen
timent. A young man may sit on the
bank of a stream in company with the
object of his affections, but if eith-
eror both are intent npsn fish
ing he feels that to use the
language of romanoe and sentiment at a
time when he 1$ constantly liable to be
interrupted with the request, "O, do
please put another worm on my hook,” 13
impossible. There was onee an affec
tionate pair who fished for three consecu
tive hours in the waters of the Hndson,
near West Point, and neither made the
slightest allusion to bait; but they after
wards confessed, one to the other, that
their fishing tackle was so disposed that,
while their lines were in the water, the
hooks were onnningly made to rest, on
dryland. Of coarse this was not genu
ine fishing, and it involved a deplorable
amount of caionlated deceit.
When the Bev. Mr. Hopper was 00m
pelled almost by force to join a bi-sexual
fishing party, made np of the boarders at
the Squonpigyank House, in tbe charm
ing Long Island village boasting the
musical Indian name of Wasslchogus-
bunk, he knew fnll well that he should
not derive the slightest pleasure from the
affair. He did not, however, foresee
that ho wonld be assigned as an instrnc-
tor in fishing and inspector of hooks to a
widsw lady whom he regarded with mnch
dislike on account of her godly ways and
her inordinate tendency to gash. Could
he have foreseen this, he would have
refused to go fishing, no matter how per
sistently the demand might have baen
made npon him. It was not until the
party reached the fishing ground—or
rather water—that ho discovered that his
partner was to be the gashing widow,
and that he was doomed to spend the
next two hours with her alone.
Mr. Hopper always aooepted what \7as
inevitable with a good degree of com
posure, acoordiogly he baited the widow’s
hooks—for two hooks were attaohed to
her line—and nerved himself to endure
her conversation. The rest of the party
had wandered up and down the river, and
the wagon which had brought them had
been sent back, with instructions to re
turn at a fixed hoar. There waB every
reason to suppose that Mr. Hopper would
have to endure the pains of fishing from
2 o’oiook nntil 6, and, dismal as the
prospeot seemed to him, he now knows
that it would have bean far better bad
the fishing lasted till dark, instead of
coming, as it did, to an abrnpt end.
The widow had fished for about half
an hour without success, when she re
marked that she mast really throw her
hooks farther. She therefore held the rod
over her shoulder and prepared to give a
mighty sweep to the line. She was a mus
cular woman, and she wonld have made a
splendid cast had it not been for a trifling
aoaident. The line swept between her
self and the Bev. Mr. Hopper, and as one
of the two hooks caught that
unhappy man by the ear, the other
caught the widow bv the cose.
After the firat abrieks were over, Mr.
Hopper undertook to release himself
and his companion. They were united
by a bond not more than a foot in length,
sni every movement was extremely
painfnl to both of them. The first im
pulse of Mr. Hopper was to cut the line,
bnt he found that he had forgotten his
penknife, and that the line was of tho
strongest cat-gut, and oould not be brok
en. There was nothing to be done but
to return to the village in search of
scissors and a curgs«n. and accordingly
the wretched pair arose ana siattodfnr
Wassichoguebnnk’
They had not gone ten yards when It
beoama evident that they must maintain
the oloseBt promimity under penalty of
losing a nose or an ear. Mr. Hopper
was foroed to either keep his ear within
six inches of tho widow’s nose or under
go, and inflict npon her, the most ex
quisite torment. It was excessively dif j
flonlt to maintain jnst this distance be'
tween nose and ear, and when the widow
finally auggesled that it would be bet
ter were she to keep her head on Mr.
Hopper’s shoulder, he was forced to ad
mit that she was right. This position
involved the placing of Mr. Hopper’s
arm aroand his companion’s waist, for
they both comprehended that if this was
not done, tha position could nob possibly
be maintained. It was, therefore, in
this dess contiguity that the pair enter

No sooner was Mr. Hopper released and
the hook extracted from his ear than
he hurriedly left town, to avoid the
jeers and sneers of the wicked. This was
unwise, fer it gave the scandal time to
grow to enormous proportions. It was
soon said that Mr. Hopper had paraded
through tbe streets with his arm
around an intoxicated widow’s waist,
kissing her at frequent intervals, and
loudly einging “Wfioa! Emma!” The
result wsb the notorious ecclesiastical trial
which haB 3tut closed, and which, contra,
ry to expectation, proved tbe complete
innooence of the accused. JUr. Hopper
will never go fishing with a lady again. In
fact, he has taken a solemn vow of total
abstinence from fishing tackle, widows,
and villages with Indian names, which
every one who knows his character ia cer
tain that he will keep.
CATAWASiru3.—The most remarkable
invention of this or any other ago, eays
the Tribune, is duly chronicled by the
Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. It Ia based
upon tbe electrioal properties of the far
of cats. With a battery of 128 oats the
inventor succeeded in generating a car-
rent 8) strong that it instantly polarized
all the lightning arresters and demagnet
ized all the switch boards on the way to
Omaha. The operators all along the
line were terror stricken, and ruthed
from their offices. Eighteen hundred
and nine glass insulators were broken and
as many poles shattered, as if by light
ning,
A great deal mora damage woull
doubtless have resulted if tho copper rod
over which the battery was suspended
bad not become suddenly red hot and
burned the tails cff the cats and let them
drop. When only a moderately strong
current of electricity is desired, it is ob
tained by densely populating the small
floor of the cage, which is made of sheet
copper, that being the best conductor.
The eleotrioity thus generated charges
tbe copper floor of tha cage, and *3 it
cannot pass off to the ground through the
glass insulators it seeks its exit over the
wires that are connected by eoldering to
cich end of lhe copper plate. For gen
erating a powerful current, the cats are
carefully aad securely tied tail to tail in
psiis, and by the loop thus formed they
are suspended from a heavy insulated
copper rod that pisec3 longitudinally
through the cage, to the ends of wbich
are attached the telegraph or telephone
lines.

and used vary opprobrious and Insalting

A bacon Industry—ifr. C. G. Smith’s
bandy banatactory.
Mr. C. C. Smith, who is well known in
business circles in Macon aa an enter
prising and thorongh-going business man,
bas purchased the entire interest in the
candy manufactory recently conducted by
Major M. B. Rogers. He will continue
the manufacture of candies, not only for
home consumption but for the trade
abroad. We feel sure from what we
know of Mr, Smith that he will give
satisfaction to all his patrons. His prioes
will be reasonable, and unadulterated
goods are guaranteed.
It will now no longer be necessary for
our merchants to depend on the Balti
more, Western and other markets for
their candies, and in a short while it Ib
expected that Smith’s candies, will be as
wall known as Block’s or any other man<
faoturei’s. Major Rogers retires perma,
nently from the business, and thoroughly
endorses Mr. Smith as hia successor.
Mr. Smith has recently made some

Police points.
Those who have no access to the official

arrests mads in the city by the city offi

ally large. Macon ie a quiet, orderly
and peaceable oity, and bas as few dis-
turbances as any other place in the State.
Its police force is small to the propor
tion of her population, bnt they do good
work in preserving order and captur
ing violators of the city ordinances.

Chief of Police, Captain O. F. Adame,
for the following information on the snb-
jeot. During the month there were < ne
