A man In Connecticut has invented an "improved head-rest for attachment to to church pews, formed by the combina tion of the stulling, covering-plate, band, base-plate, aud springs with each other. THE GJiyDA 'lM Y OF THE HE' PUBLIC. The whlte-hatted philosopher of the New York 'Tribuno' Is an honest, al though at times, a mu-chievous man. Ho coagltates profoundly and gives tho world his conclusions. Among thoso which the good sense of all national men will Indorse, Is the following: Referring to the Grand Army of the Republic, ho gays: "Wo denounce this secret associ ation as Inimical to tho Constitution and the Union. The country wants peace and rest, aud harmony andjustlce. These men want a distracted couutry, that of fices may bo gained." The career of that organization has not been in the Interest of peace. On tho contrary, It has done more thau every thing oIs-, the present wretched radical congress not excepted, to keep alive tho hate between tho two sections, aud to foment discord, distraction and blood shed. It unquestionably has tho control of the president, aud commands for its members auy olllce within his gift. Fully live sixths of tho ofllces of tho country are filled by Its men. If this were the only purpose of tho organiza tion, however, Its existence would uot be tho source of uuy alarm; but In the South It . bands tho negroes together, pluces arms In their hands, and renders them a standlug menace to the quiet and stability of society. Further, and more alarming still, it Ih the power that Is looked to to erect an empire in the couutry, when radicalism sees that the power Is about to pass from them. It contains many good men men who Joined It, believing Its avowed objects Its only objects. Hut these do not control It, and will bopowerlejs in the work of diverting It from its fell purposes, wheu tho time to strike shall arrive Tho Grand Army of tho Republic, or its chief men, havo desigus upon our republican form of government! Good men, tho country over, are convinced of this. It contains as rank traitors as ever fought in tho armies of tho South, and, it lias been sMd, 'isauarmyof treason." Put it on record, then, that If ever an empire is set up.iu this country, tho G. A R. will bo tho agency that will accom plish that dlalwllcal work! Uulil r Moutlicrn IMllor Iltlo lllJuuU. Tho Southern editors are canvassing the propriety of visiting Illinois, some time durlug the present season, but are vet undecided as to tho time. The Co lumbus (Miss.) 'Iudox,' ono of our best Southern exchanges, urges tho fraternity to "go slow." "Let us," says the editor of that paper, "do all wo can to got har monized and serene. It seems to us wo should wait for something llko au invl. tatlon, or at least until tho Illinois editors have been away from us long enough to bo glud to seo us when wo meet. Going now, without any particular call from them, looks too much llko we wanted to get our monoy back, while the Illinois follows aro still good-humored over our wlnos and tho warm greotlug they every where met with in the South." We aro not authorized to speak for Illinois, but wo can safely assuro tho Southern editors that Cairo has In re serve for thorn a warm, hoarty welcome, como whon they may. Wo aro not, as a community, very wealthy In dollars and cents, but wo think wo cherish a wealth of kind feeling for our Southern newspa per friends that will assuro them a gen erous reception and hospitable enter tainment. Tho Interests of Cairo aro elosqly iden tified with thoso of u largo portlou of tho South, aud wo look forward to tho so cial commingling in anticipation, as a means that will enlarge . and, multiply our business rotations, aud effect au un derstanding that will provo mutually advantageous. Rrovlty being the soul of wit does It follow that there Is a good deal of fun In a man because ho wears a short coat aud has his hair shingled? Wo propouud this interrogatory to Deacon Bross, of tho Chicago 'Tribune,' specially. FLO WEES FOE THE DEAD. EVT A"0 BEE AD FOR THE STARVING WIDOW. Hero Is a nut for tho radicals to crack. Tho Fort Warfo 'Democrat says a poor widow and four children were found In an old, dilapidated hut, In tho suburbs of Springfield, Ohio, entiroly destltuto of tho necessaries of life. Three ofher chil dren were sick, and herself worn out by overexertion, was the mere wreck of what was once a beautiful and loving wife. Her husband fell at the battl6 of Chlcamauga, aud thus bereft of her com panion, the world has dealt roughly and unmercifully with her. Tho very sight of her aud her distressed little ones around her, was enough to awaheem sym pathy in the heart of a stone. In tho midst ofher trials and Bufferings, and In full view ofher starving little darlings, a kind, generous, and truly loll gentle man called to inform her that tho Grand Army of the Republic had Aprinkled flowers on the grave of her husband. This pious and loll radical at tho same time, in contemplating the gaunt and distressed form of the dead soldier's wife, iutlmated that tho rent on her hut was about due. Ho also in formed tho starving woman that ho must hurry to town before the bank closed, as ho had a lot of coupons cut from his bonds, on which he wished to draw a gold Interest. Such are the glory, grandeur, and beauty of radicalism ! THE SEWIXG MA CHIXE. The sewing machine, although a great blessing to woman kind, has proved It self to be not an unmixed good. Con stant work upon it is found to be tho cause of some of the most painful and aggravating diseases to which women are subject. Indeed, thoso who depend upon it for a living, are soon worn out, and become permanently impaired In health. Wo are glad to seo that a recog nition of this drawback to the usefulness of the invention has caused an effort to devise cheap aud simple means for ap plying the needful power; and already several Inventions for this purpo?e'have been patented. One Is an electric at tachment, which has been spoken of very highly, hut in all probability will be lia ble to tho objection of MzU cost, or courso, whert many machines are em ployed, as in a largo factory,- swam may be applied with advantage, but It would hardly auswer for every lady to have a small steam engine In her parlor. It would seem that some combination of springs or clockwork would be the most effectual method of attaining the de sired end, aud we learn from the 'Mining and Scientific Press that a device of this kind has been patented by a California Inventor. Something of the sort is much ueeded, but to be of any practical use It must bo both simple aud cheap. THE TROUULEs'oF RADICALISM. Tho radical party Is rapidly going to pieces all over tho South. Iu Virginia, there are two tickets iu tho field; In Tnnessec, Stokes and Senter divide the party in an Irreconcilable feud; In Ar kansas oue wlug'la led by Gov. Clayton, and tho other by Lleutonant Governor Johnson; iu Georgia, Dr. Sam Bard, of tho 'Now'Ero,' aud his faction make war upon Bullock aud his retainers; iu Texas, the election has been postponed by Grant ,to permit the factious to patch up peace; lij Florida, Govoruor Harrison Read is at sword-points with a majority of his party; and In South Carolina tho augry conten tions which havo arisen In tho Charles ton city council aro exfendltig to the Stale, and ;i negro party, pure ami sim ple, is nroposed by Daddy Cain, the black senator from Charleston. A radical organ says that General Grant, in appointing young men to ca detshlps in the West' Poiut Academy, has discriminated in favor of tho sous of distinguished soldiers living or dead. Now it is a fact, that for every soldier a son seut by Oraut to West Point, tlfty living soldiers aud sons of dead soldiers and widows of dead soldiers have been driven out fniu ofhee to subsist as best they.pould or die. A blind horse wandered Into White river, at Indianapolis,, aud. getting be yond his depth swam round In a circle to tlnd his way out.
