Tbo final mcctiniiof President Oar-
field and Ex President (.irantbaslifted
an awful load of anxiety from tbo
mind of tho averago visitor to Long
llranch. Hundreds peoiilo seem to
have como hero for the particular pur
pose of seeing tbo illustrious men moet,
and many of them stood around for
several days with thoir hands in their
pockets wondering what sort ol a scowl
(I runt would give Garfield and what
kind of laces Uarfleld would mnko at
Grant Calculations have been mado
as to whether either of tbo parlies
carried concealed weapons, and tho
court tuilora were appealed to fur in
formation as to wuetlior it has been
customary to build tho Presidential
pantaloons with pistol pockets or oth
erwise; tho weight of tho boots of
each man was oonsidored and the
probablo propelling force calculated,
but on none of tlieso points was any
satisfactory conclusion reached. For
threo days, liowovcr, people weni
around witb buckets, prepared to save
tbe blood of tho great men wbon the
collision came, and thoro wcro the
strongest evidencos of agony and deep
concern among all the cottagors up
and down tho beach for miles.
SCOWLING ACROSS THE STREET.
For threo day Mr. (iarflold had
lived just across tho drivo from Mr.
Grant and Mr. Grant had lived just,
across tba drivo from Mr. Garfield. It
was exactly the eamo distanco from
the cottago where Grant was to tbo
hotel where Garfiold was as from Gar
field's hotel to tbe (rant cottage, but
the dixtanco either way was too great
for either to travol. It was, howevor,
just about the right distance for a man
to see without glasses, ana it was weu
known to every man, woman and child
in this place that Ex President Grant
spent tbo greater part of his daylight
time behind tbe window shutters of
the hmiPM) trying to see what Presidont
Garfield was np to across tho way.
At Ibis identical time Presidont Gar
field occupied an cligiblo position bo
hind the window shutters ot tbe LI
boron Hotel, whoro he closely watcbod
overy Buspicious movement of tho ox
silent man across tbe avenue. Tbo
strain of all this upon imaginative peo
ple here was simply awful. It would
nave been a great relief if one great
man had dared the other groat man
halfway; it would hnvo been still
more gratifying if Garfield bad gone
out into tbo middlo of tho road and
strutted around with a chip on bis
shoulder, or if Grant had dared Gar
field to como insido tbo fenco, or if any
thing in tbe world could havo happen
ed it would have boon very pleasant
to the expectant crowds who daily
hung around to ace fair play.
HOW Tllir FINALLY MET.
Rut the mooting finally occurred.
The great President . and tbe great ex
President got tired glaring at each
other through the window shuttors.
Tho Presidont wont out to rido and
the cx President wont out lo walk,
and they moat unaccountably encoun
tered eaeb other. It was one of thoso
mornings when Grant bad forgntton
to tako his pistol Irom under his pillow
and put it into his pocket, and as be
felt around under his coat tails for it
be turned white and began to wondor
if he bad left bia will and his Mexican
Railroad and the third term in good
order. Ho felt certain that Garfiold
would got the drop on him, and he re
garded complacently, aa a brave man
can, tbe closing moraonts ot an event
ful lilo. lie did not know that Gar
fiold bad mis laid his bowie-knife and
be was not near enough to tho Presi
dent to see that bo turned palo at the
discovery. This was a tilualion fur
two mon whom tho newspapers and
tho gossips had got Into a tamper to
cbow each other in pieces. 1 hoy had
finally mot and neithor had a weapon.
There waa not even a club or a stono
within reach. A soore or more specta
tors, who had assembled to gather up
the fragment of greatness after the
fight should ond, wore brouthlora with
fear. Prosidont Garfield looked at
ex-Prosident Grant and raised his hat ;
ox-PresidcntGrantlookod at President
Garfiold'and raised bis hat; the one
drovo away; tho othor walked on, and
the war waa over.
You mast have noticed the way in
which all this waa done, much as
couple would flirt and finally meet on
a pleasant afternoon in the Park. A
lady who entirely understood these
thing pronounced the affair "just too
sweet and lovely for anything."
THE RELATIONS OF Till MIX,
Tbo olhcr meeting between Garfiold
and (irant took place yesterday, and
lias boon described in lb dispatches
from boro. It was a purely formal
affair, Genoral Grant having gone over,
as a lot of cottagors had, to a reception
of tbe Presidont, There i, nothing in
common between those men, bo t oeit her
is aa tmall aa the average of people
who have been talking about tbem
here for torn day seem o indicate.
Garfiold, at the beginning of bia ad
ministration, asked Grant for somo ad-
vieo, and got somo, but as tbe advico
ho got waa not exactly tbo kind be
asked for bo laid it aside. He may
have it snmowhoro around tbe house
yot, but if ao it is covered with dust.
That, of course, rathor hurt the feel
ings of tho late Presidont. Ho had no
further ubc for Garfield, and bia rela
tions are now purely formal.
A prominent friend of Grants said
yesterday that tbe advantages of a
good understanding botwoon Grant
and the Presidont wore appreciated
particularly among Grants menus.
Kx-Colleclor Murphy, who has boon
with the ex President almost constant
ly for a week, has boon working very
sinceroly to bring about an under
standing which should be useful in a
political way, but it boa not yot been
accomplished. Tho scheme back of
it includes the roturn ukdimcoe ConkJ
ling to tbo Senate, which is part of tho
arrangement that tho President will
not likely consent to.
THE FUTURE OF ORANT.
"Grant," said a business friend ot
that eminent citizen, "should take his
mind out ot politics. It is nonsenso
to talk of ovor again making him
tho President of tho United .States,
and I havo reason to know that Grant
himself has givon up the notion. What
ho wants to do now is to lot tbe poll-
tieians, whether Conkling or anyone
else, take careof themsolvcs. It they
can't do it without Grant's help, let
thorn go. Grant's future is all right.
uis children aro all looking alter them
selves. Fled and Vlysses, Jr., aro in
the railroad business with all tho ad
vantages tbut could bo desired, while
Jubho here is already well fixed, having
mado a lot ol money in somo lorlunato
miningspeoulations. Theoldman my
informant was referring in his familiar
way to friend Grant "bns got some
thing laid up and there ia a quarter of
a million to be given him in a abort
time. Ho needn't bother himself about
the future and if bo takes tho advico
of friends ho will find a good place to
live and settle down and not Iota news
paper man como any wbcie in tho same
word."
"Why do you say that 7"
"Well, a man liko Grant can't do
too little talking to tbe newspapers.
lie has some grievances which he
wants to talk about, but overy man's
grievances look mighty small wbon
they got intoprint and it always seems
to mo the bigger a mnn is the smaller
his griovanco looks. Just put it down
as official, young man, that Grunt will
never again bo a candidate for Presi
dent." 1 was willing to bcliovo what
tho man caid, because all of Grant's
friend's hero aro saying much thosatno
thing.
THE ORANT COTTAOR.
Tho Grunt collage looks rusly'and
almost dilapidated, and it appears still
worse because it stands next to 31 r.
Georgo W. Child's cottago, which baa
been put In its hummer attiro, witb
now paint, a closely cropped lawn and
a profusion of flowers on tho balconies
and about tbe windows whicb bido a
largo part of tho cottago from view.
There is not a neater looking placo
along the beach drivo anywhore than
Mr. Cnilds , and there is not a less at
tractive looking ono than General
Grant's. Tbo Grant cottago needs
paint on tho outsido and whitewash on
the insido. Tbo grass needs culling,
tho trocs need irimmingandtho lonces
are demanding repair. It has been
given out that all thoso things would
be dono, but there has so fur bocn no
commencement. Mcuntimo tho ex
President ia comfortably domiciled at
tho modoat cottage of his lucky son,
Josso, whore he smokes and reads and
receives bis friends. Thoro are not a
great many callers, however, and the
ex-President goes and comes in a quite
ordinary way now, taking frequent
walks and attracting little attention.
Ho likos tho illustrated pnpors, which
ot late have had several cartoons of
him, and bo laughs at them in tho tit
most good nature.
Grant likos being in what is called
tbe Klbcron part of tbo town. Tho
toshionubla drill is that way and all
tbe mora elegant cottuges now build
ing aro in that quarter. Why those
struoturea should bo called cotlages ia
beyond tbo understanding of ordinary
people ; many ot thorn are palaces.
Commodore Garrison, for instance, is
finishing one which will cost him
ninety thousand dollars and he will
have lo buy his furniture out ot
another fund.
THE PRESIDENT'S HOLIDAY.
Garfield expects to leave hero to
morrow and roturn to business at
Washington, but ho will come back
again after awhilo. He has enjoyed
this brief holiday very much, and will
go away improved. Thoro waa no one
who needed tbe restoration more.
Garfield doesn't look as ho did a littlo
moro than a year ngo when at tho
Chicago Convention, but bo has soon
a great dcul of trouble since then and
has a groat deal moro to sco before he
gets through with bis experience as
the Chief Magistrate. He told ono of
tho Pennsylvania editors who were
here during the week that ho should
suppose editing country newspaper
would atlord moro Inn and bo lur eas
ier than serving us President. Un
doubtedly Garfield is right, but there
woro some of tbo Pennsylvania editors
wbo would havo tradod places with
him. J. 11. L.

other day that ho was not going to be

he wont homo at noon he stalked in

"Mrs. Topnoody, Mrs. Topnoody I"
Mrs. T. camo out of the kitchen

and a rolling pin in her band.
"Well, air," she said, "wbnl'll you

Fulton ferry some days ago, was made
an unwilling listener to some fem
inine confidences on backache As all
women and tbo grcotor part ot their
mon folks are directly or indirectly in
toroxled in tho subject, tho reporter
visited a man of science who was nam
ed by ono of tho young ladies as hav
ing cured bor trouble
"Oh, yes," said tho doctor ; "back
acho is very common among women ;
moro than two-thirds ol thorn suffer
from it. liut there is ono kind of this
trouble, caused bja provoiling fushion,
which women ouht not to allow them
selves to sutler f "."
"Alo you i. st e'Saiist for fashionable
backache 7"
Tho doctor laughed. "I will tell you
all about it," said be "Throe years ago
a fashionable young lady called upon
me, saying that hor back was very
lamo, and bad been so for a considera
ble tinio. Tho pain had lately so greatly
increased that she had become fright
ened about herself. She had been
obliged to shorten ber promenades, so
she said, was almost incapable of dana
ing, and ber life was gradually becom
ing a burden. She had "tried every
thing, and taken medicine all the lituo,
but and tben she broke down in such
a way that I began to suspect hysteria.
"Sho looked tired, and bor faco boro
an expression of pain and dospondoncy
whicb was not compatible with her
years sho was about twenty three
nor ber evidencos of constitutional
force, which I judged to bo strong. 1
confess 1 was at a loss to account for
her trouble, and closo questioning gave
me no indications for treatment. 1 at
last prescribed a tonic on general
principles and asked ber to call in
about a wock. When sho appeared
again, a glance sufficed to show that she
wus no belter, and 1 was much puzzled
as I saw bor walk up and down tbo
office in nervous excitemont, exclaim
ing that she would never get well, she
knew she wouldn't, etc. As 1 lookod,
a certain peculiarity in ber walk led
mo to think that thcro might bo some
spinal troublo, and I commenced a
cross examination, which sho brought
to a sudden close by saying: "Why,
doctor, sovernl of my friends aro suf
fering just as 1 am, but they aro not
yet ao worn out with tho pain ; wo can
not all have spinal complaints, can wo?"
"I thought it impoBsiblo, of cotirso,"
continued tho doctor, "and tho inter
view ended by mo asking bur to call
again on tho next day and bring ono
of her friends with ber, whon 1 would
mako anothor effort to discover the
real causo ot tho troublo. I bad, in
loot, made np my mind that some
peculiarity in dress was at tbo root of
tho dillloulty. Tho ladies called and
had hardly traversod the ollieo whon 1
observed in patient number two tbo
same idiosyncrasy in walking which I
had soon in the nrst patient, i was
not long in discovering that tbe real
difficulty lay in the high and tapering
hoots of my patients' gailors. Closer
examination revealed tbo fact that
thcro was a difference in tbo height of
the boot heels of tbo ladies, and 1 found
that my first pationt, who was tho
great sufferer, was the one who pos
sessed tho bigbor bools. Thcro was
nothing to do but to proscribe suppers
and woolon stockings for a week, to
bo followed by the wearing ol shoes
having low, broad heels."
"And it was this treatment tnul
cured tho backache?"
'All signs of lamoncsB disappeared
within eleven days, and my first pa
tient of this kind, togothor with many
who havo followed ber, regained their
health and atrongth. There aro many
physiological rcaxons why undue oleva-
Uon ot Hie hoc! must cause Irouiuo. it
will sulllco to say that it serves to
throw forward the contents of the ab
dominal cavity, and the muscles, nerves
and cords more or loss connected with
or surrounding tho back aro subjected
to unusual strain in resisting tho tor
ward impulse. Of courso, in such
cases, lamo back is not of itself a dis
oasc, but only the indication ot deep-
seated trouble, which is sometimes
diflicult to deal witb. Ladies should
be warned that this fashion in beels is
cortaln lo bring them soonor or lator
great troublo. If they must adhere to
tho prevailing style, thoy should lane
caro to woar slippers on overy possiblo
occasion which the tacrcd duties they
owo to fashion may pormit. That a
porson may as well be out ot tbo world
as out of tbo fashion is a law more in
exorable in the minds of many women
than those ol nature or ot health.

OPINION OF AN EMINENT PENNSYLVANIA
JURIST,
Touching this important subject,
tho venorablo Judge Pearson, of llar
rlsburg, says : "I am well satisfied
that a largo portion of the insurance
companies supported for tho purpose
of insuring lives are public nuisances,
and that those carrying them on,
thoso acting as agents, and thoso act
ing as inspecting physicians for tbem
ought to bo indicted and convicted for
misdemeanor, and that they enter Into
a conspiracy in establishing such insti
tutions and in conducting them in tho
manner they do. Wo know not mere
ly by publio report in tbe newspaper.,
but by what has been tried frequently
in tho courts, that thoae, tho men in
terested in these insurance ofllcoa, are
sometimes porfoctly honest. Generally
speaking, tbey know what is going on.
Anu iney Bomoumea anow mat wdul
ia going on is neither honest nor sale.
The physician who certifies to a man
being a good and suitable subject, a
proper porson to have bis life insured,
know well he ia over eighty-fivoycani
of ago, teeblo and miserable, and at
the same timo hardly expects to live a
year, and yot thoy will insure him for
twenty, thirty or forty thousand dol
lars on his lilo, not in iavoroi relatives,
but in favor of some person or other
who hire him to use bis name to bavo
tho insurance taken. Those thing
unquestionably are a high misdemean
or. They are conspiracy to cheat
It ia an evidence to choat. It ia an
evidence to choat on tbe part of those
who manage tbe company II iney
know what is done. I is a conspiracy
to choat on the part of the physician
tho parly who certltioa to cases of that
kind on those who take insurance
Thcv cannot recovor a penny on thorn
if they only know it, but al the same
time thtry are misleading mar.y. In a
neighboring county it led to a case of
murder, where mon were banged
lor a crime of thi kind. They con
spired to gel la man'a life insured,
whicb they did, in a oonsldorable sum
of money, Tbey font d thai he would
not die quick enough and tbey put
hitn to death. The whole ia a nui
sance, deceiving thoso who onler into
them. A man goes there be imag
ines he can tako insurance on the lile
of a man whom be would not trust
witb $25. Ho tukos an insuaanco on
his life tor 15,000 and pays the insur
ance for a year or two and calls that a
fair business. It is such a transaction
that could not bo recoverable in any
court. Tho man is cheating himself
as well as the community. I have
long intended to call the attontion of
tho grand jury to offenses of this kind
that bavo not been committed here,
but in tho neighboring counties of
Lebanon, Lancaster and Berks thoy
havo become vory common. But they
aro becoming common here and will
lead to great evil unless stopped, and
the effectual way to stop them is to in
dict the insuranco companies and to
indict those wbo act as their agents.
They bavo no interest in tho lives of
tho porson. A man nan elt'ocl insur
ance where thore is an insurablo inter
est, as a relative, but wbon insuranco
is in favor of a total stranger it is
strong evidence of an Intention to do
fraud, and such would disable them
from ovor recovering a penny on tho
policy. Lot it go on for a littlo while
longer and it will lead to murdor.
Thoso person will get tired ol paying
on tbe policy. Hero to a person who
don't own a ponny ono whom no ono
would trust with a ponny and nobody
expects to livo six months. Yet thoy
will tako insurance on his life for fifty
or sixty thousand dollars. This is
done by strangers. It is practiced
daily and is in violation of the law. 1
should have no hesitation in convict
ing any agent of a company who took
insuranco of that kind, no hesitation
of convicting for conspiracy. Only a
fow days ago an old man com
plained of tbom having insured his life
for :W,000, and thoy wore lo give
him $25, but only paid him (8. This
is a species of tbe worst kind of gam
bling. If tho Legislature will pass no
laws to put a stop to such buaincss, tbe
courts of justico, who havo tho morals
and interest of tbo community in their
keeping, will endeavor to look nfterit.
1 should never hesitato a momont to
convict any person who should tako
insurance in that way and under those
circumstances.
C0XD1TI0X OF TJIEJEWS.
Tbo Jews have been wandering up
and down the earth over since tho Ro
mans destroyed Jerusalem. Kinco that
timo tbey have bad no permanent
abiding place. Thoy gave the Chris
tian religion to tho world, and to-day
tho Christians in Russia arodostroying
thoir property, and driving them in
many instanco beyond tho boundaries
of Holy Russia. In the Russian town
along the Austrian frontier tho houses
ot tbe Jews have bocn plundered and
burned. The Jews found it necoesary
to flee for thoir lives across tlw border
to Austrian toil.'
At Odessa, on tho Dniester, near the
Black Sea, the plundering continued
tho entice day. The rich Jews fled,
and the poor witb their families were
left to be taunted and buffeted by a
bowling mob of drunken, brutal men.
At Kieff, on tbe Uncipor, tho syna
goguo was broken open and tbe con
gregation grossly maltreated. Tbo
Jewish quartor of the town was sack
ed. In tbo dark ages the Jowa were
mobbed by Christian and thoir prop
erty destroyed. In this enlightened
nineteenth century, howovor, tho per
secution of the Jews ia ontiroly out of
placo. Thoy aro morointolhgent than
tho native of Russia. They educate
thoir childron better. Tbey aro moro
temperate. Thoy save thoir money
and soon bocomo rich and influential.
Tho Russians a a race aro fearfully
givon to drunkonncss. Evon the priests
get beastly drunk, Whon tho shep
herds fail so doplorably in their duty
what can be expected of tbe flock?
Tbe Jew acknowledge tho power
that be. Thoy don't agitato against
absoluto rulo, and henco the Russian
peasants who bavo boon wronged, kept
in ignorance, degraded, cheated, suffer
ed untold hardships under tbo rule of
an absolute sovereign, doubtless feel
that the Jew have basked in tbo sun
shine of the Czar and grown rich in
contequenco.
And again tho Russian is fearfully
bigoted. Ho firmly bcliovoa thatthoie
is only ono road lo heaven, tho one his
fathers traveled, and ho become wild
with rngo if any man asserts there is
any other road lo that blessed abodo.
The Jews for age past havo traveled
anothor road.
Thoy toach thoir children that tho
road Abraham, Isaac and Jacob trav
eled leads to heaven. In consequence
the peasants become aroused against
tho .lows whorevor donso ignorance
and bigotry prevail. A ahhrt time ago
tho Germans were agitated against the
.lows, but not being bigots m religion,
tbo Jew woro not mobbod. Tbe Jew
past timo have suffered fearful in
justice at tho hands of Kuropean na
tions.
Timely Hintb. On tho contrary
vines and croepcrs on tho wall pro
tect thorn, and make a bonne warmer
and dryer, and also mako it look much

The host oil for making boot and
harness leather soft and pliable is ca

Glycerino is excellent to. rub on

Wbito lead ground in oil is an ox
celled application for saddle chafes

Keep your boot well oiled in winter
and they will lust longer, while your
feet will be dryer and warmer.
A few drops of diluted carbolio acid

TOADS AMONG PLANTS.
A writer in the London Journal
give somo interesting statements re
specting the toad. In the matter of
feeding he say tbe toad is not vory
particular, oilhor as to quality or quan
tity. Anything that creeps or crawls
ill do tor him wood lice, booties,
spiders, slugs, worms, oven snail with
their shells, aro pnt out ot sight aa il
by magic, tor bo lias a peculiar way of
catching hi proy. lie watches the
moving insect lor a second or two;
tben suddenly darting out his tongue
while at a distanco ol ono or two incbos,
tho insect is snatched np and swallow
ed instantly. Ono evening ho gavo
one a wasp and a bumble boo. Both
wcro snatched up directly and they
commoncod to move, apparently with
out causing tho toad tbe slightest din
comfort, though thoymust havo roachod
his stomach in a tolerably active con
dition. In plant bouses, espocially
forcing houses, where insect increaso
their numbers so rapidly at all seasons,
the toad's services are espocially valu
able; and ii a suitable ladder, madeol
narrow board with bit oi lath tackod
on it two inchoa apart, bo set in a cor
nor, slanting from tbe door to tho stage,
bo will climb It, and thus bo enablod to
make himself still moro useful. But
porhaps tho most romarkablo fact con
corning the toad is, that though bo
can, and does, eat a groat deal, be can
exist a long time without eating any
thing, lcara ago bo buried one lor a
month in the earth, a an experiment,
and when dug up it waa apparently aa
well as evor. Moro recently, having
boon bothered with myriads of wood
lico in an early cucumber house, and
not being able to nnd toads In febru-
ary, he lator on, when thoy bocame
plentiful, buried three in a nine-inch
pot, with a elate on top, eighteen
inches under Iho ground, that bo might
have them handy lor the next early
forcing season. Rut that season be
did not require them, so thoy romain
ed buried until tbe following one, and
were then, on being taken up, appar
ently not much tho worBe for thoH
eighteen months' fast, though thoy did
not bavo any ico water or alcoholic
bath.

From the Gold Hill (NaT.) Newl.)
A .AVife reporter has been shown a
queer species of worm found in the
lace of the Lord of Oorno Mino, near
Lower Gold Hill. They are found in
a solid stratum of atifty clay, 700
foct from tho mouth of the tunnel,
and 300 feet below the surface of tbe
earth, amid the voin matter of that
portion of Comostock. Superintendent
Mi: Don gal lound quite a number of
them by soaking and washing the clay,
and they are no defunct relic of ante
diluvian times, but aro all alivo and
kicking, incredible as it may appear.
These quoer littlo subterranean worms
are about throe quarter ot an inch
long by about an eighth of an inch in
diametor, short and thick, resembling
somo species of grub. Kach ia incased
In a very neat littlo shell of siliceous
material, corrugatod and firm, of a
blgish cast, liko a silver ore, with
small round spots, having a molallio
lustre. At his forward end appear a
vicious-looking little head and six leg
or feeder capable of being easily folded

On top ot his bead is a small helmet
or cover, of the same material as the
shell, ao thai when he haul in for a

Why thi hard shell covering or pro

very peculiar worm are found alive
in such a depth ol ground, i not easy
ot explanation. Their presence can
bo aooountod for on the score of some
deep crack or disturbance of the earth
