4 Mun of the Court. On May 12th Buffalo will have another hang- ing, and Grover Cleveland hundreds of miles away. fia There are several Richmonds in the field and not a few who are destined to be in the peni- tentiary. Chicago cries out for Dwight L. Moody. Is there not such a thing as being too infernally converted? ee Secretary Lamar wears his hair long—in. deed, now we think of it, he must have worn it at least fifty-five Mr. Garland doesn’t hold on to that stock because he wants it, but because he doesn’t know how to let it drop. There is a report to the effect that some of the girls of Vassar steal. It is the meanest libel of the period, even if it is true. According to Edward Atkinson, a man can live in Boston for $200 a year, whereas the regular price ought to be $200,000 at least. Barnum need not weep over the absence of his treasurer. If he can get the law to capture the gentleman he will have a greater curiosity than any other in his collection. Ex-Senator Tabor of Colorado wants to lead the labor men in 1888, and as he is pretty thor- A SOFT JOB. oughly covered with diamonds there is no doubt that he has the requisite capital. “Now that Iam getting old and can climb the hills no longer,” says Mr. Ruskin, ‘my chief pleasure is to go to the theatre.” It is notstrange. It is merely a change of scenery. A Georgia lady says she paid twenty dollars during the war for a spool of thread; and her husband thinks, owing to the continued ab- sence of several of his buttons, that the war prices still rule. The Albany Argus announces in large let- ters that Postmaster-general Vilas has been vindicated. We don’t remember all the charges against the gentleman, but there must have been some extraordinary evidence. A Connecticut paper expresses great con- tempt for items about the painting of fences. There does seem to have been remarkable progress. Most of the items of that nature now-a-days are devoted to the town. The.Keely motor lone. Soare the gen- tlemen who furnished the money to complete it. P.S.—A dispatch just received says that it is not done, but there remains nothing to complete but the motor. Will S. Hayes of Louisville, who used to write songs, says in a recent note, ‘Tell Cleve- land for the Lord's sake not to appoint me postmaster; and at last accounts Cleveland was heeding the suggestion with all his might and main. Senator Ingalls’s speech on the mugwumps is mentioned by the latter as indecent; and in- deed it has always seemed to us that such slaughter as is necessary to life and good health should be performed at the regular butcheries and outside of the public view. Chaplain Milburn of the house of representa- tives prayed the other day that the country might be rid of all small and large gamblers, including those of the green cloth and those of the bucket-shops. Mr. Milburn means well, but would he like to depopulate the beloved country? On one of the days, a week or so ago, when it didn’t rain, a bewildered man arose early, and as his eyes struck sunshine he involun- tarily put out his hand and said cordially, “Why, how do you do? It is some time since we met, I think the last time was just before the destruction of Pompeii.” Speaking of our aldermen, the post of dis- honor is the public station. We know of a man in the blank ward who, having tried in vain for twelve years to get into the common council, is the tickledest man in the state; but we expect he thinks he has had a narrow es- cape in more respects than one. If Mrs. Logan shows in the faintest way that she has sympathy with the Chinese the labor of the country says it will boycott her husband and sodrive him out of politics. Naturally this makes Mr. Blaine weep; but what a river of tears he would shed if boycotting were to follow sympathy for the Japs Among the relics on sale at a place in this city are exactly eight hairs, well authenti- cated, from the head of Washington. How this teaches us the fearful want of foresight on the part of Martha! Why did she allow the father of his country to be buried with his hair on when for eight of them five dollars isdemanded? Why the whole of them would have brought more than Mount Vernon. The Rev, Philip Krohn of Kansas, a promi- nent prohibitionist, clergyman and editor, was recently found in a room with a young lady, the two having retired together, but he says that upon his honor he was guilty of no wrongful act. Doubtless it was a mere case of absent-mindedness or geographical inexacti- tude; and yet, as the pair have previously been found together under similar circumstances, the complications are of too Krohnic a nature to be altogether pardonable.
