A Chicago paper, referring to the failure of the Grant-Ward firm, in which Gen. Grant and his sons figure so prominently, indulges in the fol lowing fling : "How much better off Grant would have been had he imitated the exam ple of the frugal Hayes, by carefully saving his Presidential salary and retiring to his quiet home in Galena at the end of his term to serve his ad miring neighborhood as road master, or to find innocent pleasure m the propagation of poultry." In the sarcasm that inspired this paragraph there is much truth. As a successful soldier he had won world wide fame, and with his magnani mous conduct as a soldier, and his generous disposition towards those over whom he triumphed in the field, he had won not only their respect but their admiration. At the end of the war his place on glory's scroll was among the highest. But in an ill-advised hour he went into politics, and became not only a violent parti san, but the ready instrument of par tisans to carry out partisan schemes. He was either careless or unfortunate in the character or the men with whom he surrounded himself, and his administrations as President be came clouded with scandals that jould have ruined any man to whom the public was less partial. For his short comings they blamed not him, but threw the responsibility upon those whom he chose as counsellers and appointed to positions. As in European countries "the King can do no wrong, so here the successlul soldier could do no wrong. No man was ever more favored by public and private generosity. Gifts were show -ered upon him, nouses and lots were given to him, his stables were filled with horses and his farm with fine stock, his salary as President was doubled, from a man of no means he became a man of large wealth, and to add to this, when he retired from his eight years of service in the White House, as a further testimonial of re gard, his admirers raised for him a fund of $250,000, and so invested it that he receives annually in interest the sum of $15,000, and yet he was not satisfied. He wanted to be Presi dent again, locked the convention at Chicago for three days, and was driven from the track only by a compromise that brought Garfield to the front. Since retiring from the Presidency his Dame has been freely used by speculative combinations with which he became connected, not for any particular business capacity he possessed, but for the prestige his name would be supposed to give these combinations before the public. It was his name that gave respecta bility and standing to the Grant Ward wild cat concern, which led off in the train of business disasters which have been coming so numer ously within the past few days. In that disaster it is said that he and his boys went down, but here again, t show how generous the American1 people are still disposed to be towards him, his trouble was scarcely an nounced before a bill was introduced in the United States Senate, passed without dissent and almost unani mously, placing him upon the retired list for life, with full rank and pay of General. Joaquin Miller thinks the South is the land of poetry. He sees in the books that have appeared the first little sweet flowers after the storm and winter, and the Southern Byron, or Keats or Shelly may yet appear and be the American poet that all are looking for. Sidney Lanier died just as he got a place to sit down and rest. Of Ticknor's "Little Giffen," Miller says there is nothing in the land as good and graphic in its way. He thinks Lillian Rozell Messenger will yet be accorded a great recep tion. John Henry Boner is doing refined and perfect work, and Theo- philus H. Hill, another North Caroli na poet, is devout and true The new poets of the South are full of promise. Blaine and Arthur were both born in the same year, 1830. Randall Ed munds and Conkling are two years older, having been born in 1828. Although Edmunds is only fifty-six he looks like a man of seventy. He is baldheaded, his beard and what is left of his hair are white ; he has the dyspepsia, and he is stooped and prematurely old in every way. There are thirty morning journals and sixteen afternoon journals pub lished in Paris. The Petit Journal has a daily circulation of 593,500, three other papers have circulations Of 100,000 to 198,000, three others 53,000 to 80,000, and fifteen others 20,000 to 47,000. The circulation of Figaro is 80,000. The combined issue of the leading morning dailies foot up 1,729,000 copies per day. Tom Nast, the caricaturist, has a life contract for $10,000 a vear with the Harpers, whether they print his pictures or rot. Murat Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette, whose first choice was Sherman, has fallen into the Blaine ranks and will now toot for the gentleman from Maine. The latest statistics published by the Baltimore Record show that $2,188,000 have been invested in man ufactures in North Carolina since the 1st of last January. Wall street can go to thunder if it wants to. The gentleman who comes from b ranee to act as vice consul at Boston carries all this name with him: Earnest Frederic Adolphe Etienne Gabriel Grimand de Caux. Whether he forgot and left any of it behind is not stated. Royalty is an expensive institution. Henry Labouchre, the London jour nalist and member of parliament, figures out that the 1,000,000 which it costs annually to support the royal family of England, would give a meal to 600,000 children 300 days in the year. President Arthur suffers from toothache, and it gets away with him too, or his tooth, to be more precise. If there is anything that is no re specter of persons, and goes about its work with a cold -blooded indiffer ence to circumstances, time and place, it is the toothache. And nobody ever sympathizes with a fellow when it has him down. Judge Tuley, of Chicago, has taken a new departure. He recently re fused to divorce a couple who had lived together for more than thirty years, told them that they acted more like children than grown people and reprimanded the counsel for the sen sational style in which they dished up the case. Judge Cothran of Chicago, an old friend of Mr. Tilden, has just return ed from a visit to that gentleman, and when asked if he would accept the nomination if nominated by ac clamation, said: "That is another thing entirely ; in that case no one except Mr. Tilden knows what will happen. Whatever's been said m regard to that has been mere guess work." Judge Cothran expresses the opinion that Mr. Tilden will be nomi nated by acclamation. The colored citizens of Chattanooga have not been invited to join in the decoration exercises at the Federal cemetery at that place, and make a vigorous kick against being slighted by the managers of the affair. They allege that there are several hundred colored mea among the dead Union soldiers buried there. The Republi cans are beginning to draw the color line so closely that these negro patri ots will be taken in very reluctantly. n at ail. The Norfolk Landmark, a tariff reform paper, warns the Democracy against permitting the tariff question to be introduced as an issue in the State canvass. It helds, and correct ly, that it is a minor matter compared with good government in Virginia, and that the first duty of all Virginia Democrats is to Virginia, to save her first and then look after Federal mat ters. We commend this sentiment to the Democracy of North Carolina, who must not permit tariff dissensions to enter their ranks in the face Of an' enemy battling for possession of the State.

Gentlemen: The undersigned respectfully request you to act as a committee to designate a time and place at which the fellow citizens of President Arthnr may express their approval of his adminis tration and their wish that he may be nominated for President at the Republican national convention. It is believed that this is the wide spread feeling among those who manage and control the great busi ness interests which centre here and involve the prosperity of the whole country. it is fitting that suca sentiments should find means of public expres sion, both for the welfare of the coun try and m justice to a good irresi dent.

The meeting will be held in the Cooper Union on Tuesday, May 20. Frederick S. Winston, president of the New York Mutual Life Insurance Company, has been selected for chairman. All the speakers but two will be business men, and thus carry out the idea of a business men s b-jom. The principal speeches, how ever, will be made by Jienry ward Beeoher and Benjamin K. Bristow. The managers of the meeting declare their intention to make it excel any similar meeting ever held before in the city. Another in this series of meetings will be held in Boston on or about the 23rd instant, and that meeting, the promoters of the move ment hope, will be followed by similar ones a week later in Chicago, Phila delphia.
