ANNETTE KELstE, CHAT. SIE ESSAYS YOLITICS, TM the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Bosconter, Wis, Ded. t—The question “What shall [do to be saved” seems to have been put asia as one of secondary Impor- tance while that of more vital import comes to the front, What more ean the American people do for Gen. Grant? anid the people are battled, And It does scem as tf they had done ag inuch as could bo expected. ‘They sent hin to West Polut, educated hin, had a war with Mexico In which they allowed him tu participate and distinguish himself, and during the Civil War made him Colonel, Brigadier-General, Lieutenant-General, sud conmnander of the armies; they thon pre- sented him with the Prealdency, when lo Imnediately distinguished and endeared hin- self to the people by selecting the membersot dis Cabinet from among his personal friends without any regard to the Influence or welght they hind in the party that clected ‘hlin, Ho was then elected. After his second term of ofltea expired the Amerlean people would undoubtedly have gone crazy in attempting to fd some position sufticiently honorable and Ineratlye, but fortunately at this crists he decided to make a tour of the world, and by calmly and closoly studying the Institutlons aud fundamental laws of Iussin, Turkey, and Chinn, it himself for the Presidentla chair in 1880. ‘Then, with 2 constancy that was wonderful, we read and reread fwevery paper we picked up deseriptions of his recep- tons abrond, Haw the Lord Mayor of Lon- don presented higs with a golden box, aud the Mayor of Edinburg presented lim with 2» box, and the Mayor of Dublin presented him with a box, and King this and Duke that, and Emperor wha’s-his-name, and Prince so-and- so gaye him yachts and canes, costly wines, ink-stands made of the wood of the true Cross, diamond-studded cigur-cases, meer schaumns, Jnger-rings, guns, and prayer books, inst horses, carriages, and 2 goo anany other trinkets, a When he returned we lighted and deco- rated his way and boarded him freo of charge from San Franelsco to Chicago, and when we gothim there we gave bln more “taffy” than any man ever xot since the world be- fol. We have had him photographed and bought his pletures, we have marched i Ms honor ti our feet were sore, held up torches “tl our arins ached, and yelled ull our throats were sore, Wo have served him up in print in Overy concel table shape and styla; we have given hin the high- est honors and places, houses and lands, doubled his salary, aud presented lik gold and allver, trotters, pacers, and runners, Dlooded stock, und button-lole bouquets, and —in short, we hive given hin everything un- der the heavens we think of from a cailut- ship to the Presidency, anda pup to a hun dred thousand dollars, alt of whieh he has revolved in stilling sllence, and his friends ask for more, We seo by the papers that the question of inaking him aud other ex-Prealitonts Senators for life fs belng, agitated. It is urged that after the honors thoy have recelyed no other postition would be suficlently honorable ant > dignified, and after Grant's exelting and Wins trlous career a life of retirement would be monotonous, and ‘wo rend in some of the prominent Enstern journals that “we, as a Break Nation, cannot afford to sea our ox- vresidents go to the country farm or want for nnything to mako than comfortable aud paps Goy. Sinith, of Wisconsin, concurs in tho nbovo notion, and even Brother Swing, of Chicago, thinks that the notion of makliys ex-Presldents Senators for tite witha tu yote und full salary, Is, to use his own words, “one of tho most stitesmanlike ideas that our thoughtful age has sugested?

OF course, If there isno hair thero Is less ob- struction to friction, aud the dust ts engler removed from nsmooth surface than from 7 rough one, We grant all this, aud it might hold good, were thero no other penalty nt- tached to ft, ‘That he don't sweat as much after a hard drive I deny In toto, ag this ig only an op pearance, ‘The molature escapes from the surface Insenstbly by evaporation without contact with the linir, If he does not sweat, he ought to, and he would dlo us ahd not, 8 this Is one of the essential ments for dispos- ing of tho excesslye hent nnd whstes of tho system, greatly multiplied by the violent ex- erelse, Please benr tu mind that of the four exeretary funetions, : the lower intes- tines, the kidneys, the lungs, aut tho skin, tho Inst two are this most netfye at the tnd of and after violent exerelse.
