GRANT'S NOMINATION ASSURED..
The
Ohiaago
Tiines on- the Prospects
Candidates.
of
The Chicago Times, notwithstanding
Sis enmity to grant, is forced to con
cede that his nomination is assured.
The admission of one's opponents be
ing the best of evidence,.we copy below
the bulk of the Times' editorial:
"The Secretary (Sherman) has re
peatedly declared that lie would not be
a candidate for President unless he
could enter the Chicago convention
supported by a solid Ohio delegation,
lie lias got his solid delegation ; and
now: "What will he do with it? Pre
sumptively, he regards himself as now
m the field, a contestant lor tne nomi
nation, at the head of his little squad of
fifty-four faithful adherents. !Mr.
Blaine is also there with ninety-five
faithful followers; Mr. Edmunds with
thirty-six; Mr. "Washburn with three.
These make up a total force of 185 del
egates who, according to the anti
Grant people, are united in opposition
to the candidacy of the ex-President.
It is 'the field' against Grant, by which,
the sanguine souls declare, the Grant
programme is to be beaten by a combi
nation upon one or another of his ri
vals. Mr. Sherman, Mr. Blaine, and
every other man with a delegation
fondly imagines that he is the man who
has been predestinated to combine the
field against the terrible Ulysses. Ap
parently, he does not perceive the dis
couraging fact that that would not pre
vent the nomination of Grant.
"The Chicago convention will be
composed of 7oG delegates. A majority
of them 379 will name the party
standard-bearer.' Of the whole num
ber, 470 have been appointed, leaving
JSG yet to be appointed. Of the 470
delegates already appointed, 2S2 are
labeled 'For Grant.' To get the nomi
nation, Grant requires only 03 addi
tional delegates.
"Of the delegates yet to be appoint
ed, the following may be confidently
added to the Grant column :
Tennessee, May 5 24
Mississippi, May 5 10
New Jersey, May 0 IS
Maryland, May 6 1G
Pelaware, May G G
Florida, Mry 12 .. S
"West Virginia, May 12 10
Illinois, May 10 42
Alabama, May 20 20
Louisiana, May 24 1(5
Total 170
"These results alone will raise the
positive strength with which Grant
will enter the convention to 458 votes,
70 more than are required to elect. He
can spare the delegations from Illinois,
New Jersey, and Maryland, and still
hold a majority of the convention.
That a majority of the convention will
be positively committed to him at the
outset is as certain as anything in the
future can be. The knowledge of this
fact will have a potent effect upon all
the conventions of his party yet to bo
held, in increasing the number of his
recruits; so that, instead of 45S dele
gates, it is not unlikely that the Grant
column will beincreasedto many more
than that before the last State conven
tion (May 24) is held. At any rate,
more than a bare majority of the
delegates will give their voices for the
ex-President. His nomination is a pre
determined fact a certainty, if there
be any certainty of the future. In view
of this certainty, it would not be sur
prising if formal balloting should be
dispensed with, and the party ratifica
tion of the ex-President's candidacy be
proclaimed by a general concerted yell
of the assembled multitude. Mr. Sher
man is powerless to prevent it. So are
Mr. Blaine and Mr. Edmunds. All the
other aspirants and their followers in
the convention all the 'dark horses'
and the whole field of auti-third-term-crs
will be unable to muster strength
enough in the Chicago convention to
prevent the fulfillment of the. Grant
programme. Grant will be nominated
in spite of all it is, or will be, in the
power of 'the field' to do.
""Will he be elected? The opposition,
divided upon every other subject mat
ter under heaven, seem to be united al
most as one man in the most efficient
exercise of both their combined and
their individual strength to effect that
result. Ever since they 'captured the
Capitol' they have been vigorously en
gaged in the noble work of rendering
the restoration of the ex-President in
evitable. Their efforts to that end have
been far more effective than all the ef
forts of all the Grant 'boomers' com
bined. They have left no means with
in their reach unemployed. They have
to do but one thing more to make cer
tain the fulfillment of their grand un
dertaking. That thing is to present,
in opposition to Grant, a man who
stands for political ideas, policies, and
practices, upon which the country has
set the seal of its condemnation. They
are making careful preparation to do
that very thing."
m
Sources of Grant's Strength.
Ifow York Times.
There could be no stronger testimo
ny to the massive symmetry of General
Grant's character than the varied and
even contradictory motives by which
those are animated who would gladly
sec him again chosen to the Presidency
of the Eepublic. The remarkable pow
ers which he developed as a military
leader are the solo grounds for the
charge of imperial designs which his
enemies are so fond of bringing against
him, for it is well known that he is in
all his wavs and aspirations the plain
est of Republican citizens and a staunch
believer in the sovereignty of the peo
ple His great achievements m a war
that was forced upon me buui,.u
service in which is regarded as the best
evidence of patriotism in others, altora
the only reason for regarding him as a
man of blood, addicted to military
methods. In point of fact, he loses no
opportunity for expressing his horror
of war and his conviction that unbroken
peace is what this country needs for
the'dcvelopment of its vast capabilities.
Thoisb who charge him with ambition
know full well that every conspicuous
position that he has held came to him
without other effort on his part than
the faithful performance of duty in the
most trying situations. iNo plot for
his own advancement has ever been re
vealed hy his most persistent detrac
tors, and his solid indifference to per
sonal interest has often been vexatious
to some of his zealous friends. "While
he has refused no service to which the
voice of his countrymen called him,
and has never announced that he
would avoid any task or duty which
they might see fit to impose upon him,
he has never raised a finger to induce
them to give the summons, much less
to thrust himself upon them. "While
others plot and strain every nerve to
secure a nomination for the most ex
alted station in the Republic, he keeps
the even tenor of his way, equally con
tent to be called to a service or to be
left to his well-earned repose, and yet
the spontaneous voice of the people
calls louder for him than any other.
The Mound Builders.
In answer to a question regarding
the Mound Builders, the Inter Ocean
says:
The Mound Builders were a race of
people very different in their habits
and modes of life from the Indians
who occupied all the- country at the
time of the advent of the whites. They
are now regarded as a distinct and ex
tinct race. Of their history very little
is known, except what can be gathered
from the mounds and walls which
tliev built; most of these are made of
earth or gravel. They are usually
found over-grown by living and decay
ed trees, from which we have the proof
that they have been abandoned at
least a thousand years. We have proof
also that the Mound Builders worked
the copper mines of Lake Superior,
lead mines near Lexington, Ky., and
oil wells in Canada and Pennsylvania.
The remains of the Mound Builders,
are spread over a vjist extent of coun
trv. They are found-in. the sources of
the Allegheny, in the western part of
the State of New York, and in nearly
all of the western States, including
Michigan and Iowa. They bine the
shores of the Gulf of Mexico from
Texas to Florida, whence they extend
through Alabama and Georgia into
South Carolina.
From all the facts known, little
more can be said than this: That the
valley of the Mississippi- and the At
lantic coast were once densely populat
ed bv a sedentary, agricultural, and
partially civilized race, quite different
from the modem Indians, though pos
sibly the progenitors of some of the
Indian tribes; and that after many
centuries of occupation, they disap
peared from our country at least one
thousand, perhaps many thousands, of
years before the advent of the Euro
peans. A Remarkable Disease A

White Infant
About sixteen months ago a child
was born to John Salter and wife, of
Philadelphia, which promised to devel
op into a robust man. He was a beau
tiful child, with fair complexion, dark
eyes, and silky brown hair, which grew
in profusion. " But in a few days the
parents were alarmed at a remarkable
change that was coming over the child.
He gradually grew dark. At first his
skin became apaleyellow, then it deep
ened into a saffron hue, and then, to t he
terror of the parents, grew darker yet.
The color was uniform all over the
body, except at the joints, palms of the
hands, where it was lighter. The once
brown hair grew stiff and jet black,
and the eyes also-grew darker, so that
the line between the pupils and the iris
could not be distinguished. In spite
of medical treatment the boy became
worse, and grew very weak, all the
lime the color of the skin deepening.
At last he became as black as a full
blooded negro. Then he was attacked
by convulsions, which grew more fre
quent and violent until they threatened
the child's life. It was in one of these
that Dr, Reynolds was called in. He
succeeded in curing the spasms, and
then devoted his attention to the strange
disease which aillicted the child. He
at once recognized it as melanosis or
pigmentation, which is mentioned in
the books in a general way, but there
is no case given where it had devel
oped all through the body. This was
over sixteen months ago, the child be
ing then thirteen months old. Since
then the boy has greatly improved, by
degrees becoming lighter, until now he
is of a light chestnut brown color.
Since Dr. Reynolds has had the case in
charge the child has been visited by
over 200 physicians.
The Dundreary Hop.
'Then there is that time-honored sto
ry of your tripping your foot in the car
pet when going on the stage as Dun
dreary, and that the applauso which
greeted the false step decided you to
introduce that hop which is now as
distinctive a part of the character as
the whiskers. Is that a story true?'
'No, sir,' replied Mr. Sothern ; 'not
even that story, 'time-honored,' gener
ally accepted and universally published
as it is not even that story has the
slightest foundation of fact.'
'AVhat is the true story, then?' asked
the San Francisco Chronide.
Til tell you just how it really was,'
said Sothern, biting off the end of a
fresh cigar. 'The night when 'Our
American Cousin' was first produced
(I don't care to remember how many
years ago) was a bitterly cold one. I
was hopping about behind the scenes
to keep warm, when Laura Keene ap
proached me. Between the manager
ess and myself there was not any very
great amount of love lost; in fact wo
were always quarreling, but in a quiet,
gentlemanly and lady-like way. No
ticing my extraordinary make-up and
peculiar actions she asked :
'Is that the way you intend to play
the character, sir?'
' 'That is exactly the way I intend to
play it, madam,' I replied. You see I
could afford to hold my ground, for I
knew she would not, could not dis
charge me. She left and I continued
hopping about. I saw that the stage
hands were laughing at my movements
and this set me to thinking. Thought
I, 'Now this fellow has a hesitation of
speech, a hesitation of manners a hesi
tation of ideas ; why not complete the
character and give him a hesitation of
gait?' I decided I would, did so, and
that, sir, is the true history of the
Dundreary hop.
Some time since, two young ladies
near Newmarket fell into company
with a gipsy, who, for a trilling sum,
proposed showing them their future
husbands' faces in a pail of water.
The water being procured, they were
desired to look. They did so ; when,
discovering nothing strange, they ex
claimed: ""We see only our own faces."
""Well," replied the gipsy, "those will
be your husbands' faces, when you're
married."

"We have never tried harder to tan
gle the subject of an interview than we
did Dave Shaw when he was telling
about the ghost he saw at Brook's
bridge. The story of strange signts
having been seen at that gloomy place
had been current -for some time, but
David's statement is so clear and con
clusive that even-body is puzzled.
There is a deep hill on either side of the
bridge, and Shaw's story is that as he
was passing down the south hill, he
saw a man. ridinc a white horse, des
cending the hill on the other side; that
thev came over the bridge and up the
hill he was descending; that when op
posite him they suddenly vanished, and
that he could distinctly hear the gravel
as it ilew from under the Goblins horse.
This latter, however, we think, must
havebeen imagined by David. He says
the night was a clear, bright moon
light; that he could see objects almost
as plain as in the day time. He had no
other ideas but that it was a man on
horseback meeting him, until they got
abreast of him, and then so quickly van
ished. AVe are not to rely on Mr.
Shaw's statement alone, for Mr. Guth
rie had an adventure, and him we in
terviewed also. He saw the same thing,
but it became stationary at the foot of
the hill, and if awaiting for him to pass.
His horse became frightened, snorting
and shaking all over, and would. not
move a step forward, and he was final
ly compelled to let the fence down at
the side of the pike and drive around
the bridge, through the fields. Mr.
Guthrie is also very polite about the
thing; says he don't know what it was,
but does know that he saw something
like a man ou a white horse, and that
he could not get his horse past it. The
place is named for old Billy Brooks, a
colored man who lived near by, and al
ways rode a white horse, but a story
has recently been circulated that in
early days, when the country was
sparsely settled, the main road traveled
by emigrants passed through this hol
low; that a large body of movers en
camped in that vicinity one night,
among whom was a young husband
and his buxom wife and child. A form
er lover of the woman had joined the
party, and was accompanying them to
the far west, riding a large, fine, white
horse; that the husband became jeal
ous of him, and sharp words frequent
ly passed between them, and on the
night they were encamped in the ravine
the husband murdered the young man
while he slept, turning the horse loose
and driving him away in the direction
from whence they came, and their dis
appearance was accounted for in camp
by the supposition that he had sudden
ly determined to return home. AVe
learn that there are others who have
seen the man on horseback .at Brooks'
Bridge, and the place is acquiring con
siderable notoriety from the oft-repeated
story of the-white horse ghost.
AN OLD VIRGINIA GIANT..
A Man with Thumbs as Large as an. Ordina
ry Person's Wrist,
The allusion in a recent letter- of
your Louisa correspondent to. the old
Revolutionary giant hero, Peter Fran
cisco, revives many traditions and: rem
iniscences of the wonderful perform
ances and daring deeds of that extraor
dinary man. My father, recently de
ceased at the advanced age of 90, well
remembered him, having frequently
seen him in his native county of Buck
ingham, and related many anecdotes of
his stirring and perilous adventures
and hair-breadth escapes, as he heard
the recital fall from the lips of the
giant himself. He described him as
six feet one inch in height, his weight
2G0 pounds, his complexion dark and
swarthy, features bold and manly, and
his hands and feet uncommonly large,
his thumbs being as large as an ordina
ry man's wrists.
Such was his personal strength that
he could shoulder a cannon that
weighed 1,100 pounds, and he had seen
him take a man in his right hand, pass
over the lloor and dance his head
against the ceiling with as much ease
as if he had been a doll-baby. The
man's weight was 105 pounds. Par
taking of the patriotic enthusiasm of
the times he entered the American
Revolutionary army at the age of 1G.
He was present at the storming of
Stony Point, and was the first soldier,
after Major Gibbon, who entered the
fortress, on which occasion he received
a bayonet wound in the thigh. He was
at Brandywine, Monmouth, and other
battles at the north, and was transfer
red to the South under General Green,
where he was engaged in the actions of
Cowpens, Camden, Guilford Court
house, etc. He was so brave and pos
sessed such confidence in his prowess
that he was positively fearless. He
used a sword with a blade five feet
long, which he could wield like a feath
er, and every swordsman who came
within reach of him paid the forfeit of
his life.
Victoria as a Wife.
Theodore Martin has omitted some
of the minor episodes of domestic life
of the queen and Prince Albert, which
would, perhaps, have cost him his
spurs, had he related them in his "Life
of the Late Prince Consort." AVhen
the august pair were first married, al
though the match was one of love, at
least on the queen's part, her majesty
could not always control her temper,
and ou the occasion of one of those
trifling quarrels which occur even in
the best regulated families, she threw
a teacup at the prince's head. He, ex
cessively indignant, retired to his apart
ments and locked the door.
The queen's anger having somewhat
abated she thought him sulhciently
punished, and knocked at his door. To
the question, ""Who's there?" she re
plied in imperious tones, "The Queen."
Prince Albert did not answer, and she
went away. By and by she thought
she would try again, and to the "Who's
there?" she answered, "Victoria."
Again there was complete silence, and
she again retired. AVith the persever
ance characteristic of a woman alarmed
at the trouble to come, she determined
to try a third time, and in response to
the ""Who's there?" replied, sobbingly,
"Your own loving wife." Tliis brought
Prince Albert to terms, and peace was
re-established. It is said there was no
more teacup throwing in the happy
family.
Yet "Victoria always remained an ex
acting wife and never allowed her
spouse what is bourgeoisement known
as a latch-key. As the prince presided
at many public dinners, it was often
close to midnight before he could pos
sible reach. "Windsor, and he had ac
cording always a storm to face for
"keeping late hours." Finally, the
queen ordered the castle gates to be
closedatlOOp. m., and the now much
monumented husband was locked out,
if he happened to bo behind time.

A Bad Girl to Marry.
Troy Press.
A bad danghter, says an exchange,
seldom makes a good wife. If a girl is
ill-tempered at home, snarls at her par
ents, snaps at her brothers and sisters,
and 'shirks' her ordinary duties, the
chances are ten to one that AVben she
gets a home of her own she will make
it wretched. There are girls who fancy
themselves so far superior to their par
ents that the mere privilege of enjoy
ing their society in the house ought to
be all the old people snoum nave tne
assurance to ask. While their mothers
are busv with domestic duties, they sit
in the easiest chair or lie on the softest
sofas, feeding on the cheap and trashy
novels, and cherish the notion that they
are very literary individuals. The
household drudgery is too coarse for
such ladies as they. Girls of this sort
are generally very anxious to be mar
ried that they may escape the disagree
ableness of a home where they are held
more or less under subjection. A cal
ler, who doesn't have a chance to see
how they behave as daughters, may be
excused for fancying them lovely and
loveable beings; but one who does see
it is foolish if he commits himself by
offering marriage to a girl of this sort.
If she will not assist her mother in the
domestic labors, is she not likely to be
equallv slothful and ill-tempered when
she marries? If she now thinks her
self too fine to work, is it safe to ex
pect that her views as to that matter
would radically change if she became
a wife?
.
Important to the Deaf.
Dr. C. II. Thomas, of Philadelphia,
has been making a study of the various
new devices for helping the deaf to
hear. All of them, he says, depend for
their action upon the principle of
acoustics that solids vibrate in unison
with the sound wave produced in the
air near them. In these instruments
the vibrations are of sufficient force to
be audible when conveyed to the inter
nal ear through the medium of the
teeth and cranial bones, independently
of the ordinary channel of hearing. He
says that a simple and excellent in
strument for the purpose "consists of a
rod of hard wood about two feet long
and a quarter of an inch thick, one end
of which is placed against the teeth of
rlhe person hard of hearing. If the
speaker articulates in a natural tone of
voice, the vocal vibrations will be trans
mitted in great volume through the
teeth and thence to the ears of a deaf
person. It will also convey the voice
distinctly when placed against the
forehead or other portions of the skull
of the hearer. It will also convey per
fectly audible speech from the skull of
one to thatof the other, or such sounds
may be conveyed by simply bringing
the heads themselves in contact. Again
instead of the speaker holding it
against his teeth, he may place it
against the upper part of his chest,
when, upon using his voice, the sounds
will be conveyed as before, of course,
independently of the teeth of either
person. iV. Y. Sun. ,
A journalist has the same right to as
sail the private character of the citizen
that a highwayman has to attack and
cudgel the unarmed man that walks the
streets, and no more. Of the two, the
malignant and unscrupulous journalist
and the man with a slii-shot, the for
mer is the worse, from the fact that the
wounds given bv him have m them a
virus that does not heal. This does not
mean that honest journalism should
cease to antagonize every crime of indi
viduals agains't the public ; for as long
as newspaper articles are backed up by
facts they are safe protectors of socie-
tv. AVhen thev leave this honored,
path, nosing around for possible scan
dal, catching up the barest threads of
truth and winding them around their
victim, they are simply "busy-bodies,
described in the Sacred AVord as having
"tongues set on fires of nell." A gossip
in any neighborhood can keep the
whole community in an uproar and by
the ears, and a newspaper, with the
ears of its editor ever eager for a whis
per of slander, will' keep a community
anxious, Avhile a thousand good things
will be passed unnoticed. The tongue
has always been an unruly member,
and protection from its venom is more
difficult than from the bludgeon of the
highwayman. In ter Oeea n
The lamp-shade fever rages almost
as fiercely in Boston as it did in Vien
na and London, but ladies seem slow
to learn how the pretty things are
made. Everybody learns to fold the
square twice into a little square and to
cut out a small central square, and
then to press the paper through the
hands again and again until it is limp
and looks like crape, but comparative
ly few know that a little wringing is
what is needed to produce the best ef
fect. The prettiest way to make the
double shades is to use cranberry and
rose-sublime or light and dark purple
paper, and cut the lightest colored pa
per large enough to fall below the top
of the lamp-shade, .and to make the
dark-colored paper fit tight about its
upper rim, and only fall a short dis
tance below the top of the light-colored.
The upper squares can be made
from the strip left on each sheet of pa
per after cutting off the large squares,
and if the corners be cut from the
lighter square used for the shade, the
whole, AVhen the gas is lighted, will
look like a large morning glory.
In his speech at the Grant meeting
in Chicago Leonard Sweet said:
Aristides, the Athenian, for the hon
esty of his public services, acquired the
appellation of "Aristides the Just." He
brought not a part but all the spoils of
war into the public treasury, and served
the State with singular fidelity. By and
by he was banished from the country he
had so faithfully served. As some Athen
ian bummer was about to vote for his
banishment he was asked why, and he
replied, in substance, that he was sick
and tired of hearing him called "Aris
tides the Just." If souls as some be
lieve, rehabitate the globe and live
again in human form, I have no doubt
that man is now writing and publishing
lies on Grant, and that the real cause
of his action is envy for or hatred on ac
count of the splendid services he has
rendered.
The New York Tribune thinks that
the cheapness of human life was again
illustrated on Sunday, when a Brook
lyn liquor seller shot a customer who
disputed the payment of ten cents.
The victim is not expected to recover,
and the liquor seller mav lose his own
life in the hands of the law. Two
lives for ten cents would seem to bring
the market rate in the slums down
very low indeed.
