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 dency, has no effect on them. They propose 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 complicated will the opposition to Grant be- camo, and the result will inevitably be that Grant will have to be taken as a last resort, Jnst aa Hayes had to be taken at Cincinnati.

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 ington Bepnblio rays Senator MoOreery, of Kentucky, on a salary of $5,000 ayear, saved over $1,000, and daring sfx years, in the Senate laid by $25,000.

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 Tried Farming’ (D.

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 acdsauacra. Dolly had learned to plough 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 everything to tho be»t of their ability, their products arein constant demand. Tho bock in nicely illustrated and is altogether well worth reading. We hope that itrusy havo tha effect of iaepiriDg other girls to try farm ing.

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. Lst tho basin of investigation, the pate water of truth and the soap of sincerity be brought to the resoae. .Reports lrom Atlanta.

Investigation calls for more 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 country, and nobody can tell what he is coming to next, or how long it will lake to get through.

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 IYzathee ix Barboub Cowstt.— The Eufaula Times and News of Tuesday says the weather continues to be all that the most fastidious caterpillar oonld do- sire. It began to rain on Sstarday after noon and continued almost without a mo ment’s intermission until twelve, m. on Sunday. It had rained heavily also on Thursday end Friday last, and the few planters wo conversed with yesterday, said tho situation was b ! gi.;.:tug to ae- eumo a reslly alarming aspect so far as cotton is concerned. Already tho crop in this immediate section has been greatly injured. 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 ed the village and songht the shelter of the Squonpigyank House, and the oldest inhabitants of Wassiohoguebunk agree that ao much enthusiasm on the part of the local amall-boys was never before known. 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.
