AS MAUD OF WALES, who is to marry her cousin, Karl of Denmark, has tried to educate her- self in cookery, we are likely to have another melancholy Dane. WE DON'T believe that Mr. Carlisle will find a nomination in his stocking, but if he does his next year will be stuffed with trouble and raveled with grief. Oi'd twisht yer nick.” THE MONROE DOCTRINE, according to Punch, is that “everything everywhere belongs to us.” Pshaw! that has been the English doc- trine every time John Bull hasn’t been licked out of it. IF THOMAS B.

It reminds one of the gentleman who marched into the open. between the two armies at Gettysburg and called out suavely, “Gentlemen, gentlemen! cannot this matter be compromised somehow?” EMARK BY GLAND in connection with the Turkish trouble and the menace of the Russians in China— On the whole, what do I care for Venezuela, or Alaska either?

They ought to save their powder for their for- eign enemies, and there is little doubt that presently they will need a good deal of it. Let them recall the congress under the auspices of Mr. Blaine and see if they can’t behave themselves. CHRISTMAS FINANCE. OVERNOR FLOWER sets an excellent example. Take your gold out of the stocking and make a Christmas present of it to the United States treasury, taking Uncle Sam's paper in return, and the question of bonds will be settled to the honor and glory of a country that ought to be ashamed to go abroad for a dollar or a dime. VALUE IN NOBILITY. A BREWER of St. Louis, whose daughter has married a German noble- man, proposes to use his son-in-law for advertising purposes. A coat-of-arms is generally a token of poverty. Let it be an evidence of beer and it immediately becomes of such value that the owner of it will doubtless claim his papa-in-law’s entire fortune. THE GUILTIEST PERSON. D®: PARKHURS r thinks the dime-novel boys who wrecked a train ought to be hanged. Undoubted- ly; but there is a morbid liking among their kind for the notoriety of the gallows, as the doctor will see if he wil recall his morbid re- gret for the forcible departure of the late Jack Sheppard. The boys are bad enough, but the publisher of the dime novel is the man to punish. Kill him. THE SPIRIT OF THIS CHRISTMAS. CHRISTMAS is a good day on which to pray for and give aid and comfort to the struggling Cu- bans. On that day there should be sympathy for the suffering Arme- nians, and both astonishment and regret that so many of them have been butchered. Prayer that the powers may agree on the Turkish question before the Armenians are all dead is eminently wise; and if that will bring justice prayer that the sultan may go into the Bos- phorus to join his victims who are anchored there. That is the Christ- mas spirit; outside of thanks that this country has been blessed many years. THE RIGHTS OF A YOUNG MAN. A JUDGE in this ety charges a jury against a young mian who is not shown by evidence to be guilty of an atrocious crime. Afterward the woman charging the crime confesses to perjury and to the young man’s innocence; and then this judge, on the strength of evidence of his own getting and which has nothing to do with the alleged crime, abuses the young man like a pickpocket and tells him he is discharged. The punishment of the youth might have been twenty years in prison; but this judge says Ae is of no consequence in view of the injury done to the law. Now if that is law is there any such thing as justice? A SHINING UNBELIEF, WE DOUBT if there are many Christians who lead a purer life than Colonel Ingersoll, or whose principles involve more of justice and humanity. His doubt as to the existence of a God is therefore a curious reflection on his own dignity and his own heart, though it is characteristic of his thorough honesty. He won't say he knows what he cannot posi- tively know. The praying that has been done for him may be looked upon either as a kindness or an impertinence; but surely there is no man who enters more fully into the joyousness and thoughtfulness and gener- osity of the Christmas season, and that of itself partakes of the essence of Christianity. He professes nothing. but despite his melancholy doubt he acts magnificently. comicbooks.com
