THE JOURNALISTIC EVIL EYE: cone Some people—there are very few of them, and they mostly died before credited with touching nothin do not adorn. Other people—and thi are fortunately not numerous—appe: look at nothing which they do not blight. In this latter category we find a very promi- nent example at the present day in the per- son of Charles A. Dana. Mr. Dana is de- cidedly possessed of the gift of the evil eye ina very marked degree. Mis has a very witherin those upon whom its beams are poured.

Per- haps. ollowers of Mr. Darwin could draw a moral very unflattering to Mr. D: the present position of Grover Cleveland, Carlisle, even Butler. But if these men are to continue to prosper, Tuk JUDGE strongly advises them to purchase Sunshade the Sun shines for all, and the mischief is in it if Mr. Dana will not have their scalps too, sooner or later, to add to his collection.
