FRIDAY, June 4, 1875.
Grant and the Puritans—False and
Real Hospitality.
Having invited President Grant to
the Lexington-Concord Centennial, and
rnado him a show for rural visitors,
the managers of the entertainment are
now washing their dirty linen in the
public prints, by discussing how much
their guest drank, and how much he
smoked and how much “benzine” it
takes to get a President mellow. If
Grant wants tojoreak with his party,
this would be a good pretext. Such
contemptible and disgusting meanness
we have seldom come across. New
England hospitality is a fraud, a sham
and an ambush. Old Davy Crockett,
in his rough way, knew what gentility
was when he saw it. Once upon a time,
he visited the North and called upon a
citizen whose name shall be Blank.
Throughout his life Crockett always
spoke of this friend as a perfect gon
tleman. When asked the reason, he
promptly replied: “Why, just so soon as
I had shaken hands with him,he brought
*out a bottle of peach brandy, put it
upon the table before me, and then
looked out of the window till I had
reached the bottom of it /”
Our Massachusetts Centenuialists ev
idently patterned after a different
model. Thoy made money out of the
President, as a first-class show ; then
swindled the city by overcharges ; and
then not only investigated every drop
of liquor that passed the Executive
lips, but even put the ashes of his cigar
through a course of chemical analysis.
More than this, they went so far as
to invade his sanctuary—his personal
rights and liberty—and wagged their
solemn and Pharisaical heads over
the possibility of Presidential hab
its being a matter of prayerful
concern to those who feasted him,
wined him and dined him. Out upon
such paltry baseness, such ineffable
hypocrisy! Tho man who looks out of
the window when you sample his prof
fered bottle has a soul in his body. The
wretch who measures your potation
and curses you afterward for every
drop beyond the average, may have a
jack-o’-lantern for an animating prin
ciple, but nothing more ethereal. Grant
need not seek any farther for a genuine
grievance, but he may well be ashamed
to think what sort of cattle he has been
guided by in executing bad laws. It is
no wonder such saints interfered
with the consciences of Southern
people, before and since the war. The
baser sort of them are a mere set of
Praise-God-Barebones materialists, and
would examine the cracks in a fly’s
feet, with a microscope, to see if the
insect had been stealing any sugar.
Thank heaven thero are thousands in
the North to whom these inquisitorial
fellows are nuisances; and thank heav
en, too, the whole country is begin
ning to find out that such characters
are only powerless for trouble when
put in tho rear rank and watched with
a body-guard! A general relegation
of them to back seats in the conduct
of affairs will help save the country
from the effects of their dispensation.
If Grant wants to accomplish one ex
cellent thing before his retirement, he
can make a master-stroke by exploding
the whole set, politically, while they
are poking their long noses into his
champagne bill and measuring his
cigar account with a yardstick.
The Temperance Candidate—Wilson
vs. Grant.
Vice-President Wilson is the tem
perance candidate for the Presidency
in 1876. He has been talking to the
cold-water folks, in general assembly,
at Chicago, and they have rallied to
him as a standard bearer. We honor
a man who commands his passions and
avoids intoxicating liquors, either be
cause he does not relish them or be
cause of conscientious scruples. But
such a man as Wilson, while eschew
ing brandy and whiskey, not to speak
of champagne cider, can not be called
a temperate man. He has been drunk
for years with fanaticism on the sub
ject of negro equality, and he has
made millions of men frenzied by
intemperate harangues. He mad
dened large numbers of his country
men, drove them to battle, death, rob
bery and demoralization. His wild
theories have helped mutilate the fair
fabric of liberty bequeathed us by the
Fathers. Bad as Grant may be with
his love of ardent spirits, he is, in our
opinion, a better specimen than Henry
Wilson, who carries his supereminent
and transcendant virtues around in his
hat, and while a sober person, so far as
rum is concerned, is a hopeless inebri
ate in his pestilent ideas of the rights
of man.
The Wheat Market.
In another column will be found the
views of the United States Economist on
the turn in the wheat market. It will
be seen, by referring to this authority,
that the European crop prospect is
very foreboding, and if even one-half
the gloomy reports of the damage ex
perienced, by grasshoppers, Winter
blight, etc., be true, the outlook for
cheap bread is rather discouraging.
The Economist, while relying upon an
advance in prices making a lively stir
in commercial circles, considers that
the leading crops of the United States
will be about the average of last year, j
We do not, in the face of the reports
and facts that reach us, understand
how the wheat supply of this season
can possibly equal that of the past.
Last year’s wheat crop was, we be
lieve, unprecedentedly large. If the
crop of 1875-76 can equal that of 1874 -
75, in spite of all drawbacks, we shall be
very much surprised. From present
appearances, the supply will fall short
and prices will be correspondingly ad
vanced. This, however, is a mere sur
mise, and subject to many contingen
cies, of which, the amount of
the crop, will be definitely ascertained
before very long.

New Books.
Man and Beast, Here and Hereafter.
By ltev. J. G. Wood, M. A., F. R. 8. Pub
lished by Harper & Brothers, Now York.
This work can safely be characteriz
ed as sui generis —a purely original con
ception. The relationship between man
and the brute creation le> illustrated by
the most curious learning and in the
happiest stylo. The anecdotes, which
are numerous, will not fail to delight
every reader. All of them are good
and the majority admirable. They are
told to bear out the author’s views and
in the most appoeito manner. Mr.
Wood, while admitting that beasts are
very much lower orders than man, in
the scale of creation, claims that as
they have shared in the general suffer
ing here they will, share our im
mortality hereafter. He thinks that
much of the cruelty practiced to
ward animals is tho result of con
sidering them mere machines which
perish and make no sjgn. He will
not concede that the faithful dog or
horse will lie and rot in “ cold obstruc
tion;” but that elsewhere, in some su
pernatural sphere, these dumb friends
and useful servants follow, in some
way, the future destiny of their mas
ters. We are not prepared to go to
such lengths; but it does seem that tho
noble qualities so often exhibited by
animals should not utterly expire with
their breath. Be this as it may, Mr.
Wood has produced a charming vol
ume which all men may read profitably,
and he carries out tho seership of
Swedenborg who distinctly states, over
and over again, in his mystic revela
tions, that the spiritual world has a
habitation for the brutes as well as for
those who are supposed to be “ little
lower than the angels.
The Work of God in Great Britain. By
Rufus W. Clark, D. D.: Harper & Bro
ther.
This is a very brilliant and complete
sketch of the labors of Messrs. Moody
and Sankey, the great revivalists, iu
Great Britain. However opinions may
differ as to the quality of the work of
Moody and Sankey, there can be no
question that they have caused a pro
found sensation across the water, and,
from all accounts, achieved remarkable
feats in tho way of directing tho atten
tion of all classes, in England espe
cially, to some of the sublime and es
sential truths of the Christian religion,
the necessity of prayer and tho obliga
(Acm of leading clean lives. To our
friends of the Evangelical Alliance this
book must be peculiarly acceptable, and
will very likely be sought for by them
with eagerness and affection.
Three Feathers A Novel, by Win. Black.
Harper Brothers.
Mr. Black has written several of tho
very best novels of modern times. His
“Princess of Thule” was a genuine sur
prise to the reading world, and elicited
from the British press and magazines
the most exalted praise. We do not
place this novel, now before us, on so
high a plane, but it abounds with the
author’s singular witchery of language
and incident, not to speak of his spark
ling wit. A fair friend of ours objects
to some of Mr. Black’s portraitures of
women as untrue to life, in that they
are so exquisite and almost perfect.
We hardly dare set our nmsculine judg-.
ment against a canon of criticism
which proceeds from the sweet lips of
an intelligent and beautiful woman;
bat we are constrained to say that this
very trait of Mr. Black’s is to us his
strongest claim to favor with mankind,
for when following the fortunes of one
of his heroines we are at least beguiled
with the belief that somewhere on this
planet his ideal has flesh and blood re
alization, and if it has not, the more’s
the pity.
We are indebted to tho courtesy of
Messrs. Quinn & Pendleton for copies
of the above works.
Will He Do It? —“Whatever may be
the President’s reservations, the Re
publicans will gladly relieve themselves
of the dead weight that has been hang
ing upon them for two years by accept
ing his letter as a positive withdrawal
from the canvass as a candidate for re
nomination. This being the case, why
will not President Grant mark the
closing portion of his term by a grand
and noble policy of justice toward the
South ; by rallying around him as his
advisers men of strong minds and honest
hearts; by cleansing the government
of its hideous corruptions, and by a
general patriotic and wise policy ? He
has yet time to do much for the nation
and to hand down his name to pos
terity in connection with those of the
best of tho American Presidents. Will
he be equal to the task ?”— N. F. Herald.
Grant-Blair. —According to Hon.
Montgomery Blair, Gen. Grant in
trigued with him for a Democratic
nomination for the Presidency some
years ago. We publish a fulj account
of this elsewhere. It appears from Mr.
Blair’s story that Grant completely
circumvented him, and it is no easy
job to make a fool of such a wily fox
as Montgomery Blair.
The Lame Ducks.— The Nashville
Union and American calculates that
$1,000,000 were lost in the recent de
cline in grain held at Chicago. It seems
that, with the exception of Comstock &
Cos., all the city men pulled through.—
The principal-sufferers were, as usual,
the Grangers, we beg pardon—the far
mers. It would appear from this state
ment that speculation in grain is to the
Western farmer what gambling in cot
ton is to the Southern planter.
n
Personal.— Mrs. John P. King and
Miss Louise W. King, her accomplish
ed and lovely daughter, whose beauti
ful traits of character have endeared
her to the high-minded of this and
other communities, left Augusta yes
terday afternoon en route for Europe.
We wish them a pleasant trip across
the water, a delightful sojourn abroad,
and a happy return in the Fall.
Settled. —The Republican Conven
tions are taking the President at his
word and unloading him for a third
term. They, of course, do this on the
supposition that he would be a weak
candidate for them in 1876. The clamor
of the Democrats has driven them to
this action. If Grant is really the
weakest man they could put up, the
Democrats may have helped their op
ponents to a better position.
Paul Boyton.— Now that the modern
Leander has accomplished his great
feat of traversing the Straits of Dover,
and thereby proved the value of his
marine suit as a life-preserver, let the
different steamship companies order a
supply of these dresses, and in that
way show some regard for the safety
of their passengers. How many pre
cious lives would have been saved on
the Schiller, for example, if Paul Boy
ton’s india rubber dresses had been
within reach of every passenger.
Blunderers. —The United Stales Econ
omist, referring to the financial and
tariff legislation of Congress, says: “It
is questionable whether Paris suffered
more under the Commune or from the
siege by the Germans, than New York
has suffered during the last twelve or
fifteen years from the blundering legis
lation of the Federal Government.”
It is no question at al l that Paris suf
fered from the Commune a mere noth
ing compared with the injury done the
United Btates by the Reconstruction
Acts of Congress—the fount and origin
of all our woes, financial and other
wise.
JEROME'S DOWNFALL.
His Daughter’s Ducal Fatker-iu-Law a
Pauper.
[St. Louis Times.]
The Duke of Marlborough, fifth in
line from the great Duke, married his
son, Randolph Henry Churchill, to the
daughter of Leonard Jerome, the re
tired New York speculator, in 1874. Be
fore the marriage the Duke’s sou made
Jerome mortgage the Union League
Club, New York, which building he
owned, to secure the bride’s dower.—
Soon afterward the building caught on
fire and was gutted. Now old Duke
Marlborough has become a pauper.
Lady Churchill may therefore come to
want. Her father, Jerome, meantime,
is troubled with his head and can
not attend to business. ne re
tired from the street badly crippled on
a compromise with Pacific Mail stock
bears, several years ago, and sold bis
running horses and big six-in-hand
drag. He had been our Consul to
Sicily, aud affected the nobility and
Paris. His daughter, therefore, mar
ried ambitiously, carrying her dower in
her hand. A few years ago Leonard
Jerome was publishing a little Whig
political newspaper at Rochester, New
York. He and his brother Lawrenco
married slstors at Lyons, N. Y., whose
modest fortunes established their hus
bands in Wall street. For many
years Leonard Jerome represented
the fastest type of life in Amer
ica. It is related that he gave a party
where every lady invited received a
present of a diamond bracelet. He
founded Jerome Park as his partner,
Travers, founded the Saratoga Racing
Association and introduced running
races in the Northern States. Only
negligence, arising from tho pursuit of
pleasure, broke Jerome in tho “street.”
His daughter was beautiful, spirited
and accomplished, the fresh blossom
of a youthful race engrafted upon a
mildewed stock. There was but one
Marlborough respected and he had no
heart. The great Duke of Marlborough
sent the news of the victory of Blen
heim to Queen Anne by liis aid-de
camp, Park, who was the grandfather
of Mrs. George Washington’s first hus
band. Thus do the generations of
aristocracy and shoddy, the peculation
of the eighteenth century and the reck
lessness of the nineteenth meet in a
news item.
UNRECORDED HEROES.
Emigrating from Kansas to Georgia.
Madison, Ga., May 30,1875.
A wagon with two horses aud a mule,
an old gentleman with his two sons
and a daughter, has just passed
through here on its way to Dr. Janes’
plantation in Greene county, Ga. I had
a few words with the old man who is, I
learn, a French Swiss. The grass
hopper, from his account, last year in
its destruction to crops :ls truly awful,
and to stay in Kansas simply amounted
to starvation, and he made up his mind
to hunt for another home. Receiving a
letter from Dr. Janes, offeiing him a
situation here, he pulled up and start
ed some two months and a half ago,
using what little means he had to take
him as far on the road as it would, then
stopping and working for more to help
him on his journey. He came to a river
and being without money to pay his
ferriage he gave the ferryman
a pair of hames to put him
across; and so by hard work and
continued travel he has managed to
get this far on his journey.. It is about
twenty miles from here to tho place he
started for, and il! his team will only
hold out two days longer he will reach
his journey’s end. AH hands, the old
man, his children and his stock, are ter
ribly jaded, but one could not help no
ticing the vim the old man possessed.
He was cheerful and determined. He
had said to Dr. Janes, “ I’ll come,”
and lie showed that he’d do it or die
in the attempt. His boys wore ragged
aud barefooted, but lively withal. His
daughter was riding in the wagon. On
asking him if he brought any grass
hoppers, the old man replied, “ No, I
saw enough of them out there last
year; and their eggs, I loft them all
behind.” Judging from what I saw,
there is work in that family yet, and
besides, wo wondered how many men
could be found in these days that
would undergo the sacrifices and hard
ships he has to fulfil his word. Doubt
less he has been able to obtain other
situations before this. D.
Fritz. —ln Germany a sharp dispute
is going od as to the right of the Crown
Prince and his wife to be called the
Crown Prince and Princess of Ger
many. In Bavaria and Saxony the
critics say that their Imperial High
nesses have no claim to the title, inas
much as Prussian William is not Em
peror of Germany but only German
Emperor—that is, he does not rule
Germany; he is only the President of
the Confederation of German States.
The members of his family, whenever
they leave Prussian territory, are only
ordinary princes; so the Ultrarnontanes
are making a point of this.
ii
Father Lake.— Father Lake, assist
ant pastor of St. Ann’s Church, New
York, is nothing if not sensational. He
was suspended last Winter by the
Archbishop for preaching a violent ser
mon against the public schools, and he
has now created another sensation in
Catholic circles by getting married and
going to San Francisco. Of course, in
violating his vows of celibacy he has
lost the orthodox Heaven; but he has
gained another, or probably thinks so,
which amounts to the same thing while
it lasts. — Chicago Tribune.
m i—
“Chacun pour Soi.” —Mamma (stern
ly). “Now, Miriam, say grace.” Miriam
(who, for previous misconduct, has been
deprived of pudding). “For all they
have received, let them be truly thank
ful.”
A man in the Bergen tunnel, the
other morning, hailed a fellow-laborer
with, "So, you’ve got a baby at yer
house. What is it, a boy or a girl ? ”
“Guess. “An’ it’s a boy.” “No.”
“Well, then, it’s a girl.” “Faith,” said
the delighted father, “somebod’s been
telling ye.
