BARNUM’S HARLEQ! th’ dukes an’ dukesesses IC’S SPEECH to the parliament was wise; that is to say, it was as empty as a ring with the circlet absent. see E DO NOT hear from Oklahoma now, It is not because all the adventurers are dead, because some of them had the money neces- sary to get home. xe LEON ABBETT is mentioned as a Democratic dark horse, and New Jersey may be something of a state when Cleveland and Hill succeed in their efforts to kill each other off. ry N THE OPINION of the Troy Times, “the vealy young duke of Orleans has made a donkey of himself.” Presto! there must be something in the veal that can do that, ATEANTA has been called the Chicago of the south. At this time, when it ought to be our main duty to unite the north and the south, an epithet of that kind is as reprehen- sible as it is exasperating. sae F MR. COLUMBUS had discov ered this country several times we should be in a perpetual state of war, and the main question would always be whether Michael Hooligan ought to be alderman of de sixt’ warrud, see HE WHIRLIGIG of time, etc. It is odd to see the Republicans of the house get their precedents from David B. Hill and the legislature of Tennessee, and the Democrats theirs from Blaine, Garfield, and the present speaker. ‘© BRETHREN, let us pray, and then vote the same way,” says the Proneer, prohibition paper. It is a little poem to the Almighty to the ef- fect that the brethren want his help provided he won't meddle with their fanaticism. eee BILL is before the Wyoming leg- islature to tax bachelors two dol- lars and a half a year. A bachelor is generally such a mean man that this tax will break his heart more than a woman might, whether it breaks his pocket or not.

Miss FeTHERWATE—"' Did you enjoy your Florida trip?” We took in the whole St. John’s Miss FETHERWATE—"“ Aren't they running the boats this year?” IN (who has been requested to remember himself at Lord Hoodood's dinner, but for whom the excitement proved too much)—" Here's ter EX-SENATOR BRUCE, who has been made register of deeds at Washington, is worthy of the honor on account of his honesty, his ability, and his color; though we do notice a disposition among the blacks down south to discriminate against men who are mere mulattoes. see THE GOVERNOR of Rhode Island has a salary of one thousand dol- lars a year, and there is a bill before the Rhode Island legislature to give his private secretary fifteen hundred dollars a year. The dignity of labor is vindicated by this proposition, but the glory of position is shorn of half its halo, BIBLE AND CREED. I IS THOUGHT by the Elmira Advertiser that as the bible has been revised it ought not to be dreadful to revise a creed. It would so seem; but the bible was mere inspiration, while the creed-makers were very large men. Then, too, there is that back-bone which would sacrifice mil- lions of men and women, and espe- cially children, rather than give up a moiety of its marrow. Firmness must not be allowed to deteriorate, and who. does not admire back-bone? Then again, all the sufferers are to be any- body but ourselves. What material for a hymn of praise there is in that! THE SPADE COUCHANT. O SENSIBLE society man is ashamed of the hard work and the shrewdness of his ancestors. In- deed, his inherited shrewdness enables him to keep and multiply the wealth principally won by their hard work. If he loses it his place in society is gone, for, and very properly, society is terraced according to the bank account necessary to the expense. It is the boast of a titled foreigner that his an- cestors did nothing more useful than kill men; but the originators of our society opened avenues to the com- merce of the world, originated busi- ness and trades that have given em- ployment and comfort to millions, made discoveries that have put dollars in all hands as well as in those of their descendants, and in brief have made five potatoes grow where one grew be- fore. Is it any better.to be a murderer than a shop-keeper, or a farmer, or a peddler? comicbooks.com
