THE DEMOCRATS are claiming Montana and the larger half of the Pacitic ocean. . . ENERAL BUTLER in his book sticks to all his old: quarrels and shows a disposition to inaugurate a few new ones. CONSIDERING the number of times that Mr. Garza has been on the verge of destruction, the only rational conclusion is that he has captured the verge and carried it off with him. eres [N TAKING a pew in a Presbyterian church in Beaver, Pa., Honest M. S. Quay has still further vindicated himself; and we do wish Honest John Bardsley might be permitted to follow his example. [8 THE VIEW of Colonel Shepard our army and navy ought to be used to flog nations and smaller localities into protestantism. A good many Romans have helped them to win victories, but that doesn’t seem to count. THE ACCOMMODATING WEST. Suytue (¢he artist) —"* By Jove, it's a shame! All my vermilion’s given out.” BLaNp Ewnets (the scout)—"* Jest wait a minute an‘ I'll go an’ scrape some off'n that Lo’s face.” T IS NOT enough for M. S. Quay to send a few inland editors to jail.

Why should not the most popular American nest to Mr. Blaine succeed that magnificent man and statesman as secretary of state? HAI! ain a —— NOT AN APPETIZER. Mr. Kortout (who has tackled the toothpick tumbler while waiting for his baked beans) —"*1 ain't no greenhorn, an’ I've seen chopped cab- bage before, but blamed if this ain't th’ toughest I ever struck !" YOUNG MR. EGAN was doubtless engaged in an effort to swindle Chili out of several million dollars, and if old Mr. Egan had no knowledge of or interest in the matter he was amazingly obtuse for so able and covetous a man. M&- INGALLS inquires why Kansas should be taxed for a navy whose sole business would be the protection of the sea-board. Well, some years ago the whole nation was taxed to assuage the sufferings of bleeding Kansas. STATISTICS SHOW that the black race in this country is increasing proportionately less than the white race. An article on this subject in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly {or February twenty- seventh is full of suggestion and information. T 1S HOPED by William Lloyd Garrison that his children will see a woman president of Har- vard college. Very well; let us see her and go her . better.
