Tho wild geose do not regard D Ayer's wisdom in migrating North such immense numbers of thom as aro flying over us now, while his almanac says: ''Bleak and blustering about tb time, with heavy snow." [Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Times, March 3. We were too fast lust week in our item on the oonflict between Dr. Ayer and the wild geeso. Tbe Dootor's science beat their instinct this time. Not for years have we had Buoh a snow storm as that of last Sunday. Tho snow lies throe feet deep on a level in Minnesota and two feet in Wisconsin, while the storm has swept from the Atlantio to the Rocky Mountains. Snow fell to various depths as far South as Denver, Fort Union and Santa Fe. Learned as we believed Dr. Ayer in tbe arcana of nature, and wonder? ful as we knew his medicines to be, we were not prepared for so signal an instance of his superiority, not only over the wise men, but the wisest of animals whose instinct is considered unfailing. We drive up the peg, more firmly than ever, over our hearth for Ayor's Ameii can Almanac j Cedar Rapids Times, March 10. The Presidential Election. Senator Sumner sailed from Boston on Tuesday for Europe, in the steamship Malta. Before leaving he confided to F. W. Bird, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, a speech which he in? tended to deliver at Fanueil Hall on Tuesday night, but was prevented by ill health. Tbe address is very long, and is entitled "The Presidential Election Greeley or Grant." Mr. Sumner says, while dealing with the issue before us with perfect frank? ness, he can say nothing wbioh is not prompted by a sincere desire to serve the country, and especially promote that era of good will when the assent of all shall be assured to the equal rights of all. By tbe operation of tbe electoral system and tho dictation of the national conventions, tbe choice for President is narrowed ta Grant or Greeley. No prof?re ace for another could be made effective. Pre? ferring Greeley, be states his reasons at length for believing Grant unfit for Pre? sident. His re-election would undoubt? edly be regarded as an endorsement ol abuses and unrepublican pretensions, But his supporters, while admitting bis fuilures, abuses and pretensions, so noto rious in his civil life, commend his re election as necessary to uphold the Re publican party. The Senator's doubti as to the proper course for him to pur I sue were at once removed whou he suv the Democratic party adopt the candi date opposed to President Grant, wh< was an original Republican, and airead; nominated by a Republican Convention und at the same time accept the Republi eau platform on which he was nominated An old party which had long stood ou against the Republican cause now place, itself on a Republican platform, the bes ever adopted, with a Republican candi date who was the most devoted Republi can ever nominated, thus completely ac cepting the results of the war and offei ing the hand of reconciliation. In considering the reasons which fi vor Greeley, he finds two reasons, diffei ing in character, but of chief impo: ta nco: First, Greeley represents the r< formed oivil service, with the one-ten principle, without which this reform a sham; secondly, he rt1 presen ts recono liation, not only between sections, bi between races, which is essential to tl reposo of the country and tbe snfe-guai of equal rights. To these must be addi that be does not represent those person pretensions so utterly inconsistent wil republican government, which are no known as Grantism. Mr. Sumuer thc reiterates and amplifies his previo charges of nepotism against Preside Grant, condemns gift-taking, denouno tbe San Domingo business, advocat the one-term principle and civil servi reform. He then speaks of reooncili tion as follows: "From the practical question of ci' service reform, I pass to reconciliatio being the most important issue ever pi sented to the American people. Re?u oiliation not only between two on warring sections, but also between t' races. This issue, so grand and beau ful, was distinctly presented whon E race Greeley, accepting the Republic nomination at Cincinnati, wrote thi memorable words: " 'In this faith and with tho distil understanding that, if elected, I shall President not of a party, bot of a wh people, I accept your nomination in t confident trust that the masses of < countrymen, North and South, are eai to clasp hands across the blood? cha which has too long divided them, f getting that they have been enemies the joyful consciousness that they and must henceforth remain brethren The issue was again presented, wh after the Democratic party, in Natio Convention, acting under an irreuisti movement of the people, nominated author of those words, the supporter: the administration rejected the proffe band. If not war, they would prese at least the passions of war, and inst of peace would scatter distrust and fiance. For Sumner there was but course. Had he failed to sympatl with this endeavor ho would have b false to tho record of his life, lie viewed his record, devoting much sj to extracts from his speeches, shovi that peace and reconciliation were alv his ultimate ideas. While insisting the abolition of slavery, urging frauchiuement, vindicating equal rij of all, he has constantly declared tl were for no purpose of vengeance punishment, but for tho security of citizen and the establishment of Government on just foundations, able to vote a second time for Gi and confident that the choice of Gre will tend to assuro the triumph of pc knowing something of tho spirit in w tho Democratic party has adopted as u candidate, knowing something of his eminent cbaraoter, I cannot d that with his olection tbore will be a order of things, and surviving irriti will bo lost in concord. The wi ended; thero must bo an ond also tc ligereut passions, and the freedmei sured in their rights, must enter nj now career of happiness and proBpei Mr. Sn mu or proceeds to givo ext from leading Democrats, aud argu prove tho adhesion of tho Deann party to Greeley's nomination, expi tbe beliof that tho Democracy will tho faith they covenanted at Baltii and demonstrates that their int?r?t in so doing, and that interest is o tho most powerful laws of huma turo. Of former rebels, ho says under tho influence of uncontro passions and for the sake of sic they went into tho rebellion; but that tho passion has abated und si j ceased, they eeo that nothing is g by prolonging tho animosities it e dered. Peace bas become their al ing interest. So obvious is tho a tage from its assured possession, t is unreasonable to suppose them forent when it is within reach, absurd to suppose them professing as a cover for war-war in whicl know they mast fail. And has uot the time arrived when in sincerity we shou'd accept the olive branch? Is it not time f jr the pen to take the place of the sword? Is it not time for the executive mansion to be changed from a barrack cesspool to a life-giviug fountain? Is it not time for a President who will show by example tho importance of reform, and teach the duty of subordinating per? sonal objects to the public service? Is it not time for the head of the Nationul Government to represent the idea of peace and reconoiliatiou rather than that of battle and strife? Is it not time for that new ora, wbeu ancient euemies, for? getting the past, shall "clasp bands" in true unity with tho principles of the Declaration of Independence as tho su? preme law? Deploring tho fate of Po? land and of Ireland, I seize the earliest moment to escape from similar possi? bility here. Mindful that the memories of tho past can only yield to a happy present, something would I do to pro? mote this end. Anxious for tho equal ! rights of all, and knowing well that no text of law or constitution is adequate without a supporting sentiment behind, I cannot miss the opportunity afforded by the present election of obtniuing this strength for our great guarantees. Reconstruction is now complete. Every State is represented in tho ?Senate und every District is represented iu tbe liou.se of Representatives. Every Sena? tor and every Representative is in hit place. There ure no vacant seats ic either chamber, and among the memben are fellow-citizens of tho African race, And amnesty nearly universal has beer udopted. In this condition of things, J lind new reason for change. The pre sent incumbent knows little of our franni of government. By military educatioi and military genius, be represents tin idea of force; nor ie be any exception ti the rule of bis profession, which appre ciates only slightly a government that i not arbitrary. Tbe time for the soldie bas passed, especially when bis lenewe. power would once more remind fellow citizens of their defeat. Victory over fellow-citizens should bo known only ii the rights it assures; nor should it b flaunted in the face of tbe vanquished It should not be inscribed on regiments colors or portrayed iu pictures ut the nc tional capital. But tbe present i neu rr. beut is a regimental color with the foi bidden inscription; be is a picture of th national capital recalling victories ovt fellow-citizens. It is doubtful if such presence can promote true reconcilii tion. Friendship does not grow whet former differences are thrust iu sigh There are wounds of the mind as of tb bodv; these, too, must be healed. Ii steud of irritation aud pressure, let thei bc gentleness and generosity. Men i this world get only what they give-pr judice for prejudico, animosity for an mosity, hate for hate. Likewise, conl dence is returned for confidence, goo? will is returned for good-will, friendsh; is returned for friendship. On this rul which is the samo for the nation as f< the individual, I would now act. i will the republic bo elevated to nt heights of moral grandeur, and our pe pie will manifest that virtue, "greatc of all," which is found in charity. Abo the conquest of others will be the co quest of ourselves. Nor will any fello citizen suffer in rights; but all will fi new safe-guard in tbe comprehensi fellowship. INSANITY IN GREAT MEN.-Beethov was one of the most despairing of hyr oho nd mies; and the gifted poet Colli was at times a sad and moaning luuat The eocentrioities and melancholy Lord Byron were probably the unce trollable manifestations of disease, a during his short and brilliant career gave sufficient evidence of insanity more tbun justify the suspicions of wife at tbe time of their separate Voltaire was precocious, brilliant a original ; but tho generul conduct of lifo eau hardly be mado consistent w perfect soundness of mind. The phrase "mud poet" bas pasi into u proverb, und bas, from time time, been applied to a number of eec trio geniuses. It was applied to Nat niel Lee, who wai for a time coufined Retbelem Hospital, and to McDou Clarke. Lucretius wrote his celebrated 4 lier mu Natura" while Mullering from attack of insanity, and Crudeu compi bis "Concordance" wbilo in tho sn mental condition. Madame de Stael a masculine aud powerful intellect, she was a slave to idle fears and silly centricities, that in ordiuury pore would certainly havo been regarder symptoms of disease of the brain, thing seems clearer than that the in bility, hypochondria und meaunes Alexander Pope were tho results of ganie cerebral conditions which ho ct no moro control than ho could rem bis physical doformity. Lady StuuL and Balzac, Hood und Chatterton, displayed eocentricities that are har be reconciled with porfect sanity, tho latter, as is woll known, died hy own baud. Tbe public would be astonished were known bow much that is inter?s and valuable both in our ephemeral permanent literature is the worl minds partially insane. A few j i since, considerable oxeitement was c sioned in New York by the report many of the editorials of ono of ? daily journals were written by tho in; of an asylum. Tho story itself ma} have been literally true, in the inst there adduced, but it was based on liability-nay, on actual fact, time since, one of the most promi magazines published an essay of ( inter< ot and value that was prepare ono of the inmates of au insano ret Says Dr. Winslow: "Some of tho a artioles in 'Aiken's Biography' wero ten by a pationt in a lunatic asylum Instances are recorded where at j of insanity havo been acoompauie extraordinary and marvelous mani] lions of intellectual power. A UNITED STATES COURT HOUSE, POST OFFICE AND JAIL REQUIRED AT GREEN? VILLE.-Tho grand jury of the United States District Court, now sitting at Greenville, have just made a present? ment to the court, in which, after repre? senting tho preaeut wretched oondition of the Uuited States prisoners in the County jail, they make the following timely aud sensible suggestions: The grand jory respectfully present, that there is no jail or penitentiary witb iu tbe limits of this State at all proper for the confinement of prisoners of the United States, sentenced to long terms of imprisonment. Such prisousrs have now to be transported, at great expense, 1,000 miles to the Albany penitentiary, without tho limits of the State, aud be? yond tho reach of their friends, thereby greatly increasing tho privations of their imprisonment. The grand jury would respectfully request that this matter be brought to the attention of the Congress of the United States, together with the advantages possessed by Greenville for such an institution, on account of its central situation, healthfulness of cli? mate aud cbenpness cf living. The grand jury would further recom? mend that the application heretofore mude to Congress for an appropriation for tho erection of a building for a Uuited States court house and post office bo renewed. The court being without a suitable building for its ac? commodation, and the po.st oQice, from its nature and surrounding, beiHg at uny time liable to be destroyed by tire and tbe mails entirely lost. Tho Oity Coun? cil of Greenville still hold themselves ready to furnish the site. It was ordered by Judge Bryan that copies of the above portion of the pre? sentment be furnished by the clerk to the Senators in Congress from this State, and to the Representatives in Congress from tbe Fourth Congressional District of this State, and also to the Secretury of the Interior. A LADY VISITS HEAVEN AND RETURNS TO EARTH.-On the 7th, Mrs. Gardner, wife of a farmer living near Eastman ville, Ottawa County, died underoirenm stanceB tho most extraordinary. Two of ber sisters wero dead, one recently, only a few weeks ago. The cause of Mrs. Gardner's death was a congestive chill, and after she bad been considered dead for six boars, and wus beiug prepared for the grave, she returned to conscious? ness and talked freely with her attend? ants. She stated to tbo.se around her that she bad been to the better land and had seen both of her departed sisters and other friends; that it was a most beautiful land-beyond all description. She said that she bad permission to re? turn to tell the living friends of what sbe had seen, bat she wus anxious to again return. Sbe passed away soon after making her statement, and seemingly overflowed with joy and happiness. Thora oan be no question as to the cir? cumstances above related. [Detroit Tribune. A letter published in the Cinoinnati Enquirer gives some of the reasons why the President's friends expect to oarry Maine: "They are using the navy-yard at Portsmouth, hiring men all over the country to come there to work, to do nothing at large wages. They have hired since the 1st of August 1,000 men. They keep them until after the election, the understanding being that they are i to vote for Grant. They probably ave I rage $3 a day for ninety days-8270,000! It is perfectly notorious, and everybody takes it as a matter of course." A Savannah paper gives the following as a speoimen of Sontheru enterprise: "A bale of cotton was picked last Mon? day, Tuesday and Wednesday, ginned and manufactured into yarn ou Thurs? day, and tbs yarn shipped to New York on Friday." Senator Steadman, of New? ton County, Ga., is tho gentleman who hus shown this example of Southern spirit. New Haven was yesterday the scene of a fearful domestic tragedy. A drunkard named Shenauer brained his infant child with an axe, then fractured the skull of bis wife with it, and finally cut bis own throat and wrists with tbe axe and a carving-knife. None of the parties ure yet dead, but tho physician says they cauuot live. Tho Orangtburg JVeirs, a straight-out Radical paper wants to know "did Gen.

Tho cheetah, or hunting-leopnrd, ono of the most interesting uuimuls in tbe Now York Coutral Park collection, was killed by an Asiatic tigor a few days ago, I the lutter having extended bis claws und drugged it threw tho bars of tb? cage be? fore the keepers had time to interfere. It is said of Shafer, the great German travoler, tbot he ia so reduced in circum? stances that he has to sell second-hand jewelry in tho streets of Sandhurst, Aus? tralia.
