ROVER is an old fisherman, He selects quiet places and keeps still, He doesn’t fish with a brass band, and he doesn’t scream and clap his hands and whistle and cut up when he has a big catch.

There is neither beginning nor end to this family happiness, and where is the British subject that cares for its expense? Souttsox — I've been attending a ‘Siberia” mati blood-hound was chasing me." MB. WHITNEY says it is absurd to mention him for president. That is true enough; but William is so emphatic about it that we suspect he wants to get to the white-house or shiver his tarry top-lights. eielce OVERNOR LOWRY of Mississippi means well, perhaps; but it is a good idea to stop crime before it is committed, particularly if the crime is advertised in advance so as to present the requisite opportunity. The arrest of Slugger Sullivan in this state is generally regarded as a bid for notoriety by Governor Hill as well as Governor Lowry, and it is public opinion that it is humbug. BETSEY AND 1. MA BBIAGE is a good thing, but of course when a man becomes rich he is in such haste that he has no time to look back and wait for the old wife who has got too tired to keep up with him, The duties of wealth and of the influence wealth brings are numerous and ceaseless and cannot be conscientiously avoided. This is not to say that marriage is a By no means. On the contrary, it is to say that there must be more ma riage. The man of years and wealth and political power must have a new wife.

They are noting every movement from Behring sea to India’s coral strand; but they lack the fire that may have been somewhat dangerous in the year mentioned—dangerous to men too timid here and men too bold abroad, Behind them is all the old force, but more of the patience which comes with additional y and it is tolerably certain that this government will suffer from no humiliation such as that which attended the premiership of Mr. Bayard. M*- BLAL THE WISDOM OF COWARDICE. 5 a brave man to face the music, as the term is understood ; but the wise boodler prefers to have his money and his freedom. Poor old Tweed was about the only brave man in the first great “ combine," and the music killed him, first obliging him to submit to a vast amount of humiliation. Jachne was the first man to come to trial in the more recent boodleism, and he and O'Neill are in prison, apparently to stay. Justice was satisfied with their punishment, even Kerr, the chief instrument of the whole guilt, having been acquitted, Now let the wise fugitives from justice come home. They have nothing more to fear. Colonel Fellows says so, himself, and he voices the opinion of the public. And what virtue there the old sug- gest heel thyself. BEHRING SEA. ]™ REQUIRES very litle effort for Canada to raise its wrath. ‘The assumption that as Britain is “mistress of the seas” the Domin- ion is its eldest and belligerent daughter should out-Herod the parent. Canada is very solicitous of the monopoly of the Atlantic fishing-grounds, and is active in excluding and punishing all tres- passers on what it claims as its in domain. Now, regardless of geo- graphical consistency, it claims the right, and takes it, of seal- fishing in waters that were ex- clusively Russian when the United States purchased Alaska and. the collateral Behring sea. It is beyond question that the weak and cringing policy of the late administration, as shown in the proposed Chamberlain treaty (rejected by the senate), stimu- lated Canadian and English bucca- neers to trespass on American The evidence given before the committee of the house of ntatives showed clearly that through the instruction of the Cleveland secretary of the treasury the United States did not propose or purpose to defend its property or the rights of its citizens. English and Canadian cruisers naturally expected, and acted on the supposition, that the same weakness and timidity would be continued, and that there would be a repetition of ‘the bluster, blunder, and backdown. The relations of the two great countries, as well as the most vigorous of the English colonies, are too interlinked and vast to be jeopardized by the abstract value of a few seals. Yet, notwithstanding the kinship of the race and the brotherhood of the two peoples, there is in the biblical narra- tive the warning that Jacob's brotherly blood did not deter him from cheat- ing Esau not only out of his birthright but the cheap superstition of a blessing. It is not likely that anything serious can come of this disturb- ance. ‘The lion, as well as its cubs, is always arrogant toward cowardice and respectful to firmness and strength. If the United States has earned diminished regard of its immediate neighbor and its trans-Atlantic cousin it is the legitimate legacy left by the Cleveland administration to this. It is expected of the present guardians of the national honor and domain that any trespass on one or the other will be resisted with dignity and repelled. There has been enough of the kind of courtesy that degenerated into cringing, and while patience is a virtue poltroonery is an unforgivable crime. joke T got such an awful shock just now ! ‘e and I thought for a moment that a vatel repre comicbooks.com
