The wife of President Grant loves
her husband, and her husband loves
her. It is not strange, then, that

note from Nellie Grant, in accept

visit Buckingham Pilsen :
" LANOLZY Horm v , May, i 872.
" MY Dna LADY Axe QUEEN': I am
embarrassed at the honor of an offi
cial request, given through a high
officer (your Lord Chamberlain, I
think) to be presented to your Maj
esty. I should dearly love to see
you, that I might tell my mother and
father that I have been thus honor
ed. lam but a simple American
girl ; • that I am the President's
daughter gives me no claim to your
recognition as'a sovereign. If, with
the kind lady who is acting as my
chaperone, I might visit you, I should
be very glad. Our Secretary of Le
gation hints at some political signifi
cance in this opportunity. I cannot
so interpret it, and would not wish
to be so received, because it would
not Gfi right, as I am nothing in
American politics, and I am sure my
father would not desire we to appear
other than as my simple and humble
self. If with this explanation your
Majesty will allow me to visit you,
I shall_ be grwitly honored and 'be
very proud.
"I have written this note of my
own motion, and because I think it
the right thing to do. I am your
Majesty's very obedient servant and
admirer, Niztax Oaarr."
Queen Victoria honored herself as
much as she honored Nellie, by re
turning the following in ,her own

this note, and we shall receive you
as the daughter of your honorable
parents without the intervention of
our high officers of State. I shall
accept your visit as an ,‘ American

Ulysses S. Grant wrote to his parents
the following letter :

MY Dna Morunu : I have .occa
sionally been called to be separated
from you; but never. did I feel the
full force and effect of the separation
as Ido now. I seem alone in the
world - without my mother. There
have been tie many ways in which
you have advised me, when in the
quiet of heme I have been pursuing
my studies, that you cannot tell bow
much I miss you. When I was busy
with father in in the tannery and on
the farm, we were both more less
surrounded by others, who took up
our attention and occupied our time.
But I was so often alone with you,
and you spoke to me so frequently in
private, that the solitude of my
,situ
ation here at the Academy, among
my silent books and in my lonely
room, is all the more striking ; it re.
minds me all the more forcibly of
home, and most of all, my dear
mother, of yon. but in the midst of
all this, your kind instructions: and
admonition are ever present with me.
I trust they may never be absent
from me as long as I live. How oft
en I think of them! and how well do
they strengthen me in every good
word and work !
" My dear mother, should I pro
gress well with my ladies at West
Point, and become a soldier for my
country, I am looking forward with
hope to have you share with me in '
any advancement I may make. I
see now, in looEng over the records
here, how much American soldiers
of the right stamp are indebted to
good American mothers When
they go to the field, what prayers go
with them.! what tender testimony
of maternal affection and counsel are
in their knapsacks ! I am struck, in
looking over the history of the noble
struggle of our fathers for national
indendence, at the evidence of the
good influence exerted upon them by
the women of the Revolution. Ah !
my beloved friend, hew can the pres
ent generation ever repay the debt
it owes the patriots of the past for
the sacrificea , they have so freely. and
richly made for us? We may well .
ask, Would our country be what it is
now, if it had not been for the great
ness of our patriotic ancestors ? Let
me hear from you by letter as often
as convenient, and send me such
books as you think will help me.

A WOMAN IK A TURKISH BATH.—M.
H. 8., the sprightly lady correspon
dent of the 'Missouri Republican, has
been taking ,a Turkish bath in New
York, and don't like it.. Here's what
she says of.it.
We were diiested of every stich of
our clothing, our rings and bracelets
locked up, our back hair taken off,
our own special possession of seventy
ty-five or a hundred hairs made
into a little hirsute pill and impaled
with a hair-pin. That was the,' only
token of civilization we boasted; The
procession formei. At the.dogs we
were handed a miniature sheet and
a little bit of sponge wet with cold
water. Through a passage to a
room, where we dropped our sheets
and entered a vapor illat clothed us
decently. I wonder the Ilintrated
Police Gazetta or the Day's Doings
hasn't hit on this business for Illus
tration. Well, in this steam I
thought I should suffocate.. It
poured up and through holes till it
was dreadful. The use of the wet
sponge,l here ascertained, was to put
on the top of your head to prevent
"coup de strum" or some such dire
complaint. They 'would't let me out,
and the temperature got worse and
worse, and I began to think of my
mother and an obituary notice in
the Republican, when we were pro
nounced choked enough, and - let out
into a room in which was a
_mighty
tank of cold water through which
you must wade or swim as you
could. ~Cl,esar's
through it. My itt
iology were heated to a boiling
point. This water seemed' like ice.
It sent my blood rushing to my hollow
bead (I'm convinced I had no brains)
and my heart came kertlop up, and
went kerchunk down. I made up
my mind this was . the worst of it,
and tried to be resigned. I had
been soaped and scrubbed in the
vapor room till I was scarified.. I
stood on the brink and watched my
companions splashing through the
infernal tank. One of 'em-to expe
dite her own release, caught at my
ankle ; away went my soapy ; slip
pery feet from under me, and in I
went for a second time. How very
near an end was the happy connec
tion between M. H. B. and the St.
Louis Republican !
At the next stage of this itmly
awful experience we received the
"shower. I had now become convin
ced that I should never see home or
friends again. In calm dispair I
walked under a solid column of
water that nearly broke my back,
and just here .I got mad. That fat
attendant hasn't yet recovered: suffi
ciently for her to make a complaint,
and when the thin woman went be
fore Judge Downing, that gentle
man said it was a, conspiracy ; that
no woman of my size could do such
damage. He told the , woman to go
I home and say nothing about' it ; for
she had evidently been dreadfully
drunk, and undertaken to . walk
through a carpet cleaning machine.
And that's the first and hist Turkish
bath I take.

DANA ON A GMT NAIL
It is well known that Dana, of the
Sun, was an abject toady andtlatter
er of General Grant until be discov
ered that the ,Preaident would not
appoint him collector ow York.
Dana has been tryiiig To get : that
post for years past--he wrote to Mr.
Raymond about it; he has been 'beg
ging and praying for it at all times
and in all aorta of plum without in
termission. But Gen. Grant knew
that he was an improper man for the
plice, and refused to give it to him.
Upon this, Dana became the. habitu
al slanderer and libeller that he now
is. In Pcumsylvania and New jersey
he dare not show bis face—in New
York he will not be much better oil
when the last of , the corrupt judges
are gone, and justice is once more
accessible to the public.
• The way in which Dana uniformly
spoke of General Grant when he
still hoped to ertort's lucrative office
from him, may be illustrated by' , the
following extracts : ' •

[From Dana's Life of Gen. Grant.)
"It hardly admits of a qUestion
that his education was better adapt:
ed to fit him (Grant) for statesman,
ship than that afforded by, most of
the higher grades of colleges in this
country. The Academy .at West
Point not only thoroughly tests and
trains the intellectual faculties, but
its routine of studies embraces law
in its application to the ruling of
Stites. the history of nations, politi
cal economy, and the general science
of civil government. He passed the
severe ordeal of the Academy with
great credit. • * * * He has had
seven years' discipline in one of the
greatest schools of modern times,
wherein he has been constantly en
gaged in dealing
,with some of the
most intricate concerns, political and
military,'ever intrusted to the care of
a civilian or a soldier.
` "He is certainly entitled to a place
in that class of public men of whom
Franklin, Knox, Jackson, Taylor,
and Lincoln, were illustrious types.
* * * His enlightened counsels—
the actual service he ered in re
gard to civil, social egal, and finan
zit'
cial matters of precedented char
acter and transcendental importance,
affecting the interests of large popu
lations and the destinies of powerful
States—prove that he possesses abil
ities and attainmentst at entitle him
to a place among the wise and pru
dent statesmen of the country.
[From The S'm, May Tr, MI
"Grant's name is doubtless a tow
er of strength to the Pepublicans,
for he has a firm and abiding - hold
upon the confidence of the people,
irrespective of parties. From the
hour when, amid the thickest gloom
of the way, the victory of Douebron '
revived the drooping spirits of those
who were struggling to preserve the
Union, he has had a lodgment in the
popular heart, from which neither
caltimity, nor clamor, nor prejudice,
nor, faction has been able to drive
him. Though calculating political
leaders may have'averted their lam
from him, the unselfish Sentiment ,of
the nation has never hesitated to re
gard him as the soldier, to whose
genius, skill, and firmnesslare due in
large measure the salvation of the
Republic. Since the close of the
war his conduct in the discharge ' s of
difficult and delicate trusts has con
vinced reflecting minds that ho is a
wise 'and prudent counsellor, not
prone to extreme views, but mode
rate and conciliatory in his policy,
and, while clothed with ahnost auto
cratic powers over a - conquered and
prostrate. section of the country, so
exercising his authority that no citi
zen has felt the undue pressure of
his hand. Throughout this turbu
lent and trying period he has been
scrupulously observant of the lairs,
never seeking to evade their require
ments; but always striving to fulfil
their injunctions in the spirit of an
urbane and considerate magistrate.
"In the midst of wide-spread ve
nality and corruption, no man has
ever doubted his honesty, though he
has had almost unlimited control
over millions of the public money.
His administration as General-in-
Chief of the army, and as Secretary
of War ad interim, is 'not only mark
ed with eminent ability, but distin
guished for retrenchment and econo
my. The President—no partial wit,
nesa—in his message of December
last to the Senate, says that ' saints
ry reforms have been introduced by "I
the Secretary ad interim, and
_treat
reductions of expenses have been ef
fected under his administraticin of
the War Department, to , the saving
of millions to the Treasury.'
"Gen. Grant is not a politican,
but a patriot. Ever since the down
fall of the rebellion, be has beep anx
ious for - the earliest possible restora
tion of the insurgent States to _their
former relations to the Union. He
has deprecated the quarrels between
the executive and legislative depart
ments of the Government, which
have tended to retard this work,
while on his part he has labored as
siduously to bring it to a successful
and harmonious close. In this he
has exhibited the sterling qualitiei
of a wise and liberal statesman. 'lf
he should be elected to the Presiden
cy, all impartial and unprejudiced
men, whether Radicals or Conserva
tives, and whether dwelling at the
North or the South, would feel that
the UniOii and the Constitution were
safe in his hands."

till July, 1871, receiving as compen
sation $560,824. Among the worthy
and needy provided for by Sta r
weather was William M. Tweed, who
received for nothing 001,978.
But if Grant has done wrong the
crimes 'of others can't help him.
What did all these charges of nepo
tism amount to? Since President
Grant came in but nine persons con
nected in the• remotest degree w ith
hini or his wife have held political
office under the Uniteld States. Of
these two were appoinby Presi
dent; Johnson , five ived local of
fices at the request of 1 represent
atives, and only two were directly
rec c uti l
appointed by the Pre dent himself.
As to the President's appointmenta
being partisan the er cited the
cases of Mr. Adams, apointed arbi
trator at Geneva, an Mr. Everts,
who was not his artisan, and
Messrs. Cushing and urtis, political
1 2
opponents, as counsel. The speaker
then referring to his tions with
Governor Morgan, said they. had
been of the best accord until the ad
vent of Morgan's successor. Mr.
Conkling then spoke of his and his
colleagues early attitude to the Pres
ident, and said it had been intimated
that a Senator addressed the Presi
dent a letter alluding to hiaown as-
pirations for the Presidency and of
fering
to withdraw andlgive the State
of New York to him provided agree
able understandirigsuld be had
io
concerning patronage.
Referring to the ch rie that the
President was surro i t i t - d with a
military ring, Mr. Co ing says this
ring consists of three. ,
persons, with
out any expense to therreasury. As
to the President's seas ide loiterings,
they were only eight honra from
Virashington. and nothrng can occur
demanding his immediate ,attention
without his being within immediate
call. It was the priteles of rulers in
all countries to tarry a distance from
their official residence l a portioh of
the year.
Mr. Conkling then re lerred to the
foreign policy of the ailministration,
and applauded the sacceur of the
Washington Treaty negotiations.
Finances was the next subject ta
lon np, 'which the speaker 'showed
to bo in a satisfactory condition. -
Of civil sonic° reform, the Senator
said the present was Pie best Ad
ministration of civil service thenn.. -
try ever had. 'Delinquents and de
faulters had been ferOted oat with
the utmost vigor, and. When caught,
nothing had protecteil them from
punishment. i
The Senator then look up the
charge of centralism. He said the
cry was a mere fetch. Horace Gree
ley, and othere who most loudly ap
plauded Enklux_litAirs, sire those who
discover Centralizing }.endencies of
Government. The real danger was
from decentration, which \ means
State yights in a _secession sense. All
the centralism we now have, he said;
is a strong and stable government,
under which 'the nation prospers
with safety to property labor, liber
ty and life. - -
Referring to. the lon teen investi
gations ordered by bot Houses, be
said the only result wafavorable to
the Administration. The Senator
proceeded to. ex4pine Mr. .Greeley's
fitness for the Pesideney, and claim
ed that the very talents he had
shown, unfits - him for Pre: ident.
The epubliean partyl4as been blam
ed for not gratifying Greeley's ambi
tion for office; but the ' most of the
party, though appreciatill g his es
'
Centric claim; believed 'him erratic
and notpossessed of practical wis
dom. moderation or business eapm:-
ty to make a useful or safe official. ,
His affiliations with men show him
61 ORBAT
to be a poor judge of human nature.
The wont men have •tuck 'to him
like barnackm.and his management
of every business, except editing a
newsmen-has shown him utterly
wanting in busineits capacity -
As an' 4itor he lacked a balance
wheel to keel; him from inconsisten
cies. His investments of money, his
ventures with Tweed, and lending
his name to men:unworthy of trust
evinced unsound judgment. The epi
thets and libels with which be pur
sues those he hates or envies show a
strangely unchristian and unbridled
nature. Truthful history will never
record that Horace Greeley owed
the Itepublidm party nothing; but
the verdict will be, he spoke lice , a
scheming ingrate when he said I
am perfectly willing to pass receipts
with the &publican party and say
our accounts are now settled and
closed."
Mr. Con'Ming next came to Mr.
Greeley's record, saying all Lis deeds
are to be found in.words. Extracts
from the Tribune after the first . elec-
tion and prior to the inauguration of
Lincoln were read to show how he
incited secession by_ expressing a
willingness to let the South leave
the Union, es were 'also extracts
frem speeches by Gen. Blair in the
Senate in 1871, mailing the same
charge. The On to Richniond"

'procured ap-
quoted as the incarnation of conceit
and folly, which drovo the army
headlong to Bull 'Ran. Before that
battle, said Senator COnkling, Gree
ley imputed treason to Gen. Scott,
and After the defeat he coddled up to
Scott, whiim he tried to dishonor.
This Lincoln knew, aid was ever
on his guard. This is noticeable in
the Niagara Falls affair. Greeley
had been for secession when seces-
aion might have "been . avoided; he
had been for battle when the time
was not come; be had been for war
and peace when each in turn was
impossible, and early in 1864; when
the rebellion was about to collapse,
and when everything depended upon
keeping the erect, with a unit
ed and undaunted - front, Greeley fell .
into swoon of 'despair and blamed
Our authorities- for not trying to
make peace.
The details of his negoliations at
Niagara were given, showing, said
Mr. ,Conkling, undeniably that first
Greeley was queted by a shallow
swindle ;, second, that he not only
bit at the. bait, but pressed the mat
ter upon Lincoln in a manner show
ing an intention to carp at him un
less be yielded to his views • third,
that _Lincoln punctured the fraud
at a glance, yet' Greeley.did not see
it •, fourth, that Greeley bungled the
whole affair at Niagara . , or else pur-
posely violated the repeated instruc
tions of the President ; fifth, that he
tamely, submitted to 'the most un- .
blushing effrqntery and Impositions
from rebels ; sixth, that he expressly
admitted and stated that - Lincoln
had been fickle and untruthful when
he knew ho had not, and finally, that
when • Lincoln sought to vindicate
himself by making the, truth public,
Greeley stifled the truth by threat
ening, if it was told, to publish mat
ters having no bearing on 4 -the Case,
'but which would deeply .wound the
public interest. Who, said Mr.
'Conkling, can wonder that Stanton
proposed the arrest of Greeley fOr
holding unauthorized and injurious
interviews with the enemy ?
Greeley% financial policy, first op
posing the legal tenderact,• ,then fa
'goring it, now opposing and then ad.
vocating the - resumption of specie
payments ; next arguing for taxa
tion to pay the debt in ten years ; . •
first favoring and then denouncing
the income tax, was alluded to, and

SOWING AND REAPING.
A Christian gentleman was staying
tr few days with a farmer, who,
though a man of sound sense' . and
many aniiable traits, was a neglector
of religion, and Down to be both
passionate and profane. Ho was an
excellent farmer, priding himself not
a little on the fine -appearance iuid
thorough culture of his larm - , and
evidently was pleased •sithhis guest,
who was
,a man of winning manners
and extensive information..
One day, as the gentleman walked
out where. the fanner was scattering
his seed broadcast in the field, he in
quired: :.
• " What are you sowing; Mr. H—?"
Whit," was the answer.
" • " And what do you expect to . -reap
from - . it?"
• ‘! Why, wheat of course,'.' said the .
farmer. • •
the close of the day, as &were
gathered in , the family circle, some
little thing provoked the farmer, and
at once he dew into a violent passion,
and forgetting in his excitement the
presence of his. guest, Swore most
profanely. - -
*The lattef who was / sitting next
him, at Cale°, qndjn a low and seri
ous tone, said, "And what are you
sowing now
The farmer seemed startled.
newA
meaning at once flashed on him
from the question in the morning,
"What 1-" he said, in a subdued and.
thoughtful tone, "do you take such
serious views of life "as that, such sei
rious views of every mood
-and word
and action? -
"Yes," was the reply ; "for every
mood helps to form the permanent
tether ; and_ for every wordWe must
give account, and every act tut aids•
to form a habit, and habits are to
the soul what the - veins and arteries
are to the blood, the sources iii which -

all these little things we are forming ,
