Now t Police Commissioner Matthews, of this city, is in France with good old Mother Walling, the superintendent of the force, who is to take care of the County Democracy’s in- terests in the Police Board? Mr. Matthews had the questionable honor to represent that sadly demoralized faction of the Democratic party in the board, and duringhis long vaca- tion abroad will those three affable gentle- | men, Stephen B. French, Joel W. Mason, and Sidney P. Nichols, select the inspectors and clerks of election without regard for the ago- nized feelings of Hubert 0. Thompson, who, with the employees of the Department of Pub- lic Works, represents all that is left of the County Democracy? ‘Tue county of Westchester occupies a large space on the map of the State of New York, and it requires a man of large mind, large heart, anda large desire to serve the public to be its sheriff. The Republicans of that county have begun at this early day to sing the praises of Harrison Hunt, of the town of Harrison, and it is believed that he will be the nominee of the convention for that office.

Now that many of the proprietors of dry goods establishments in this city have deter- mined to give the clerks employed by them a much needed half-holiday every Saturday, it is to be hoped that “shoppers ” will have the good sense and kindn of heart not to in- trude into such establishments after twelve so that the employees depart on tim Iy frequent comments upon the Star Route 2 JUDGE has deplored the presence of orge Bliss, of this city, as one of the counsel for the government. ‘The recent proceedings in the Washington courts have verified Tue Jun predictions, that the cases would not be presented and pressed with that positiveness of purpose which all good men hoped would be exhibited. Potice Captatn CHARLES McDONNELL, oth- erwise knownas “ Lightning Charley,” of this city, while a passenger on a train of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad re- cently, was mistaken for the pugilist Sullivan, of Boston, and something like peace and quiet reigned in the usually pugilistic atmos- phere of the smoking car. We suggest to the directors of the company the employment of some of the fraternity of which Mr. Sulli- van is at present the bright, particular star to travel on the trains of that road.

It is somewhat significant, in view of Gov- ernor Cornell's determination to secure a re- nomination, that Ex-Senator Roscoe Conkling has been retaincd as counsel in an important case in which the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company are defend- ants. Perhaps Chauncey M. Depew might shed some light on this matter. We read in a French newspaper that “the Duke D'Amale has left Just like him, the reprobate and di And Nancy isn’t the first person he has ‘ left" under similar circumstances, either.
