Detroit for hahitnal drunkenness,
and who spent his time between
associatiTitx with a ferry-boat cap
tain and sponino- round a small
social club for treats fell into a
hole in the brick pavement opposite
Chandler's store. The hole was
conspicuous; but the future Presi
dent was then deep in meditations
over the lost house of I Jourbon, and
he fell in, and came out swearintx.
lie had Chandler hauled up before
a Justice for leaving the In 1 j open,
and Chandler attempted to jjfive
him some inipudencen court-room.
Grant walked tip to him as the
Court .adjourned, with the mali
cious spirit which results from
stopping stimulation too suddenly,
and gave him the benefit of a slap
across the chops and a twist of the
ear.
"And it's the general opinion, '
said a leailing merchant of whom
I made itnpiiry, " that G rant never
did a decent thing in Detroit ex
cept just that."
M I I. i; MACK OUANT.
Once, on a wager, lie rode
through the main street with his
head tied to a mule's tail. He and
one other chap in the army, con
temporary with him, were the only
two castaways in the aristocratic
circle of military life at Detroit,
wliei'4' such men as Longstreet,
General King, Joe Johnston got
their wives. His appearance at
that place in ISCO was not calcu
lated to improve the opinion tradi
tionally entertained of him.
THE LONG DKl'NK.
Leaving ashington City with
Andrew Johnson, Y. H. Seward,
Surgeon ( ieneral llarnes, and the
rest, the General of the Army re
turned to his original habits, and
the Du'iialo City Committee found
him at Niagara Falls in a nervous
and "rocky" condition. Next day
the paity look the train for Ibiilalo,
and when it. .arrived at Tonawanda,
Grant said to Joseph Warren, one
of the masters of ceremonies:
G d ! I miisd have a
drink!"
They obtained from Mayor Far
go, of Buffalo, some excellent
brandy, and, in the presence of
witnesses w ith whom I have talked
within one week, Grant poured
out halt a pint and diank it down.
That appeared to revive him, and
nothing else w.is noticed until the
procession began to move up the
main street of Buffalo in carriages,
when Grant's associates noticed
thai he was in the conduct of "dim, "
in thestorv of " Miggics" that is,
drooping and sotting in his boots.
He intimated that he could not
keep up any appearance of consee
ntiveiiess or appositeness, if the
show slnnild be prolonged, and, at
the earliest opportunity, they snak
ed him oil" to the house of Mayor
Faro, and put him to bed under
the roof of refined hospitalitv.
Here the doctor was called, and
the future President's whole civil
service was durged. We came
very near losing a "Safe Presi
dent" at that juncture.
Pesting at Fargo's house, the
time arrived when Grant was to
resume his triumphal ride, and no
lie over at the City of Cleveland.
He seemed to be in good hape
now .after such profligate medica
tion, but abused nature was still
craving for stimulation, and,
amongst the mail-bags of the Lake
Shore Poad, the Macedonian hero
reposed as obscurely as if he were
some franked wearing apparel of a
member of Congress. At Cleve
land the African race were out
to see the man who "conquered
freedom1 for them ; the President
of the United States was being
snubbed and hooted by the inhos
pitable partisanship which waited
to look upon lineaments of ft hero
who could kill; and all this time a
carriage had been driven up in a
stealthy way to the back side of
t he train, and into it was lifted a
dull, besotted face and legs which
would not support anything. This
carriage was driven to
Tilt; IH'TUIOT STF.AMBOAT,
and there the conqueror of Lee was
away in silence and in darkness,
while the President was being
hoote.l before the Wennard Hotel.
To hide the hero's blushes as he
should re-enter Detroit alter his
long absence, Mr. Pice, of the
steamboat and railway company,
telegraphed to his household :
"Distinguished strangers coming
on with me to breakfast.'1
And there entered Detroit, m
the earlv morning, as morally,
physically, ami socially mean as
wIk-u lie-left it nearly eighteen
years before, the Lieutenant who
had pulled the ears of Zaeh Chan
dler. The breakfast table was a
scene oi'earmt and anxious hospi
tality ende-i voting to arouse the
blunted intellects of such, .-uesfs;
and it is to this day the talk of the
social circles of Detroit. If this
were to be the epic, story of the cel
ebrated spree, I might eoatinuo to
narrate how one of Grant's c tmpan
ions, one of the highest oiheers of
tiie army, saw the headless eingies
of seraphim and terrapin while
in Chicago, and the hotel en
tertained unaware a multitude of
able-bodied "jim-jams." In the
history of the United St tiles no such
shameful caravan of official drunk
enness has moved over our laud ;
and the Silenus of the town was
the man who, with little changed
only more watched is to be
again palmed upon a Christian
generation as a "Sale President."
Had the Grant newspapers shown
no anxiety to open this, phase of
morals in candidates, we should not
have aecommodatecl them upon the
same head. If they want the st v
thrown open and the pig further
produced, only whistk !
Men and S.aidens.
According to the Census returns
of 1 870, there is an excess of males
over females in the United States,
as will be seen by the following
HgUll
Men and bo vs. . . .
Women and girls.
. .10,40:1,00.-;
. . 10,O0d,8Ot
Surolus of males . .
This, is an excess of males.of two
and one-eighth jer cent. The juir
jiose for which we are examining
these figures is (o ascertain the ex
tent in whieh the number of nu n
and maidens vary in the marriage
able ages. We find in the preced
ing censuses that about eleven per
cent, of our population is between
the ages of l." and and be
tween "JO and :;o, it is eighteen and
a half per cent., with a very slight
preponderance of males iu till
ages from j ,") to :;o. Tin; mar
riageable age for females, through
out the L'nioii, commences as car! v
as at 15. At from is to L':, it, is
their harvest time, but after that
age the wine sets in. The mar
riageable age for men commences
at '2 1, but from that until 2 f, the
mint oei
orv ..-i
:. ii t . - e. . - .
s.ntui. ii, is irom ., to
men lncoine settled in
business and have a urosuect of
oelif
able to sum;ort a familv.
that the matrimonial market is
most .active. It will be seen how
disproportionate are the numbers
of the sexes disposed to marry
within the ages to which we have
referred.
The matrimonial asoiraiiop.s of
gills take a start at fifteen, but.
when they reach the age of
thirty, they find a generation of
children have become women
.and will be their rivals everywhere.
It is therefore a contest of two
generations against the marriage
ble men. The number under
y ars will aggregate nearly seven
ty l'i" cent, of the entire popula
tion, but as the marriages of males
are adjourned the disparity of the
sexes iu those ages desiring to form
that, relation is strikingly apparent.
I he entire population over thirty
per cent., of which about t wei ve
and half per cent, are between .0
and -lo ; and between 40, and 50
there is a slight fraction over eight
per cent.
Origin of the "larmoa War.
The incident related below is
said to have given rise to the Mor
mon war :
The people of Hancock and ad
joining counties in Western Illinois
were divided into three classes
.Mormons, Jack Mormons (th-ose
w ho were f riendly to the Mormons),
and the Gentiles (those' who were
bitterly opposed to them). It was
the custom among the leaders at
Xauvoo to send out squads to take
from the Gentiles whatever might
be wanted by the Saints, and to
give no other reason for so doing
except to say, "The Lord hath need
of it. ' Two men were sent very
earlv one morning to an old Gen
tile farmer w ho owned a large herd
of cattle, and just as they were
.about to drive off a Hue fat cow,
the farmer made his appearance,
gun in hand, demanded to know"
what they intended to do with his
cow. "The Lord hath need of
her" was the replv. "When did
the Lord tell von so?1 demanded j
the old Gentile. "Last night, said
one of the Saints. "Well, he told
me, this morning," said the Gen
tile, "that if I saw two vagabonds
meddling with my stock Jo shoot
them instantly, and now look out,"
levelling his gun at them. Where
upon the Saints took to their heels
and troubled the old man no more.
Pad habits arc thistles of the
heart, and every indulgence of them
is a seed from w hich will spring a
new crop of weeds.

it is admitted, Henry Wilson did

a Jesuitical abomination which he
detests and we h.fe a right to

no solemn and public recantation

simple change of resolution in his
own mind and conscience. He
cannot be purged of this responsi

promptly he might have lost some

thirty years ago, when .fudge Da

debtor lived, and found him to lie

landed possesions, but
without a spare dollar in money.
He finally settled the bill by giving
a deed for a tract of hand a flat,
moist and undesirable piece of
laud lying by a sheet of water, and
containing perhaps about sixty
acres. Davis subsequently met
with lus Connecticut client m St.

Senator Iran's CollarThe Is.t
Interview IJetween Iougla
a n d I. r a n.
O
The St Louis Republican, comU
meutitig upon the bitterness with
which Senator Logan is opposing
the Liberal ticket in the West, tell
the following bit cf unwritten'anis-
tory. It says ;
"At the beginning tf the war; 1
as our readers will remember, Lo
gan ranked among the fiercest and G
most ultra of Democrats, and bin
opposition to the policy of the new
Administration was characterized
by ;bore"" zeal thai, discretion;
When Douglas took a decided,
stand for the Lnion and the Con
st i tut ion, Logan assailed his action
and his motives even more bitterly,
if possible, than he now docs Sum- o
ner, Trunibuil, and Shurz. Being
then the most influential Democrat
perhaps in Southern Illinois, the
more conservative members of the
patty were naturally anxious .to
bring about a reconciliation be-
tween the Chief and the Lieuten
ant, and for that purpose persuad
ed Logan to meet Douglas a4 .
Springfield we believe at the time
the hitter made his last speech in
that city. At the conclusion of
the speech the Senator and a lium
her of his personal and political
friends adjourned to the Amer
ican Hote for an informal consul
tation. Douglas, exhausted by (ho
labor of speaking, and suffering
from the premonitory symptoms of
the disease which ended his life :i
few weeks after, took off coat ami
vest and laid down on the bed.
The company Were scattered about
the room, some sitting and onui
standing, conversing with each
other, and .listening to the urgent
appeals which Douglas knew so
well how to make. Most of these
appeals were apparently addreed
especially to Logan, who remained
near the door, evidently anxious
to get aw ay as soon as he could
conveniently. He was violent and
implacable, and finally in' response
to a strong argument from Doug
la, expressed himself like this
we cannot give the exact Words,
only the main idea "Yon have
sold out the Democratic party, but
by you can't deliver it. Tho
Lincoln collar shall never go round
my neck I" Douglas at that mo
ment had risen lrom the bed and
walked across the room to take a
glass of water from a pitcher
wdiich - .stood on the window-sill.
He put down the glass without
tasting the contents, went fdowly
over to w here Log.-fn was stand
ing, laid his hand on his shoulder',-
and
aid
"I do not deserve such
language from you. My r.ge, if
nothing else should haveproteetet
me from it ; if not that, then my
position is at least entitled to some
respect; if neither of these, then'
th? friendship I have felt and
snown ior you ever since you nrsr,
entered into public life. Now,
ToL is let me say a single word, b
careful how von talk and wdiat vou
iv ; it won't be three months be
fore you will have what you call
the Lincoln collar around your
neck, my boy !" That night
Douglas and Logan had i private
interview ; what transpired thero
was never known, but it is known,
that in considerably less than nine
ty days Logan was raising a regi
mcnt for the Federal army. G
Among the spoils of war which'
fell into the hands of the Prussians 0
in 1870 were the Chassepot rifles
with which the . French soldiers
had been a' med. These powerful
weapons had been constructed
after the success of the needle-guns
in the Prusso-Austrian war of 1800,
but, not being considered equal
to the German arms, were under
stood to be in the market. In due
time, a the Parisian journal, L
Potrif. informs us, a customer was
found in a personage, military or o
diplomatic, w ho was understood to
represent one of the South Ameri
can Republics. The story run
that the bargain was completed,
the money ready, and the weapons
actually boxed up for transport ac
tion, when Prince Bismarck sudden
ly broke off the negotiation, having
discovered, it is affirmed, that im
this affair tho South American
agent really had been acting for
the Emperor of Russia, wdio w'antsr
arms, good ami cheap, for his new
military levies.
This
is the way0 Tilton talks
about his sister Susan l. Anthony:
"She alighted, dove-hke, ir. tm
midst of tlie Cincinnati convention,
and found no resting place for her
pretty little feet in that surging
Hood. She came down upon Hai
ti more, like an eagle' descending
from her mountain eyrie to snatcu
a kill from the f"rock, but was scared.
away without as much as a little
lamb to flesh her beak upon. At
Philadelphia, however, it was
otherwise; there she and her sisters
found recognition, and upon Phila
delphia she drops her benediction,
and over its doings flaps her wings.
