BADLY AFFLICTED. Beacron Mrs. Beav Bravrorte. & (calmly) gentlemen have about the same ideas as to the raising of turnips and disturbances, and there are indications that unless something of this kind is done there will not be that southern solidity which is indis- pensable to Democratic success, Mr. Davis is the most popular of southern Democrats, and Mr. Cleveland most represents his party at the north, What a hullaballoo of enthusiasm would accompany this grand combination, and to what impenetrable shades of retiracy it would relegate that other eminent exponent of agriculture, the Hon. David B. Hill! THAT isa good idea southern editor that Jeff Davis join Grover nd in the impending swing around the circle ; but Mr. Davis feels delicate about it because it might be taken as evidence that he has finally consented to recognize the American union. IT WAS NOTICED that on his return from Europe Simon Cameron appeared to be twenty years younger than when he went abroad; so we take no stock in his declaration that he didn’t meet Mr. Blaine as he passed by Iris THOUGHT at Newport that if the duke of Marlborough isn't admitted to the celestial man- sions they will be so plebeian that it won't be worth while for anybody else to occupy them. IT 1S REMARKED that when the prince of Wales met Chauncey M. Depew he said, "I expect to king about the time you expect to be president:” and we guess that is so. Mr. RANDALL carries his party in Pennsylva nia for protection. It isas if a convention of un dertakers should declare for a new discovery of Ponce de Leon’s fountain of life.

Shee t* REFORM IN RAILROAD MANAGEMENT. The leading railroad presidents pose before our readers this week ina new role, that of pall-bearers and professional mourners at the obsequies of an old servant, whose expensive and destructive eccen- tricities have been compulsorily endured for a long series of years, not because they were not thoroughly known and feelingly appreciated, but because years of patient experiment and intelligent investigation had failed to reveal any adequate substitute satisfactory to all interests. To write plainly, the deadly link and pin-coupler system, coeval with the establishment of our railroads, and against which during the half century of its service may be legitimately charged more heartrending deaths and more crippling casualties than are chronicled as resulting from our late war, has been doomed with extraordinary unanimity to immediate discontinuance. This event has been anticipated for the past fifteen years, during which the various claims. of rival candidates for the succession have been carefully and impartially considered by railroad managersand their mechanical heads of department. A final conclusion has at last been happily reached, and the general adoption of an uniform type of automatic vertical plane, close hook-coupler, as re. commended by the master car builders’ Minneapolis convention, may be considered certain, PROTECTION 18 nature’s first law; but there most be protection for labor as well as for capital. That 1s a great fact which the great parties had better consider with a great deal of consideration. GENTLEMEN of the grand army, don’t trail the flag in the dirt in order to express even righteous indignation. The flag was made for the breeze and deserves no such treatment. BoULANGER AND Ferry and Dana and Pulitzer have yet to meet and fight. There is a state of extreme uncertainty in consequence; but some day there will be meetings by accident, and then the fur—or perhaps the legs—will fly. Mr. SULLIVAN is repudiating his friends with such assiduity that presently he won't have any: but he has this consolation—he can lick them all back again,
