Randall is the blear-eyed stumpist of deform. Tue Paper that Miss Cleveland is to edit will undoubtedly, in the vernacular of the stage, be a go—for instance, a Chicago. We NEVER gaze upon the Evening Post without thinking of Paddy’s dreadful remark regarding hash —‘ Let him as chewed it ate it.” Ir 18 THOUGHT that Mrs. Logan is half in- clined to favor the old ticket herself, and John A. is a soldier and believes in obeying orders. Tue ORkaT SPEECH of our Evarts has yet to be delivered, we think. But it may be safely repeated that his views on the silver question, if he has any, are not materially changed. Tuere 1s a prevalent impression that unless Uncle Edmunds speaks out for Blaine he will be repudiated considerably more than he re- pudiated James in 1884, and then, so far as he is concerned, there will be no balm or cocktail in Vermont or Gilead. “ AWAY WITH THE TRAITORS!” shrieks the Louisville Courier-Journal, alluding to the protection Democrats. This is what the chaff proposed with regard to the wheat, and directly thereafter there was nothing in the place it had occupied to show where the order came from. Tue wisdom of the newspaper in its advice to the college graduate is a reproduction of old saws that lost their teeth in cutting the rubber ring two centuries ago.

So speaketh our own Tupper to the blind piper whose home is m the large house at Washington; and he beseecheth in addition that, if those eyes never more may see, there may be two eyes of accurate visual perception, the same to be located behind his enraptured cars. A LOST TOPIC, We shall miss Porter. We shall absently look over the shoulder in the hope of seeing Fitz John, and lo! he will never be there. A great topic has been taken from the newspaper. The lively discussion of the street-corner will not soon be resumed, and the popular street quarrel of the energetic veterans of the late war has gone to grass.
