However, the latter exported a very considerable British army. [TEMS relating to business disaster are printed in the Chicago Dispatch with the line in black letters, “Let the ball go on,” at the end of each. It is supposed to be sarcasm at the expense of persons who predicted a revival of business. It is so funny as to be hilarious, But the collector of these unfortunate facts doesn’t quote himself correctly. What he says in his delight is, “Let the ball go in,” and undoubtedly it does.

CLERGYMAN recently opened a public dinner in this town with a blessing fourteen words long, and the same was received with great applause. If he had pronounced no blessing at all he would doubtless have been overwhelmed with congratulations. LET US ARBITRATE IT. A PICTURE of George Washington in the Arkansas state capitol has been removed to make place for one of Jefferson Davis. That is so sad that we should think the legislators of Arkansas would cry their eyes out and blush themselves to death; but of course there is no use of going to war about it. CAN THIS BE SOPHISTRY? HE PRINCESS CHIMAY is proud of her elopement. She says it shows that she is a frank, open-hearted, loving woman, and not a hypocrite; she gratified her affections without any assumption of secrecy, and doubtless because she thought it right to do so. Dear, charming, innocent little thing! She acted nobly and blushes to find it shame. Is IT DANGEROUS? SoME FOREIGN NATIONS look with jealousy and apprehension upon the arbitration treaty between England and the United States. The fact that it is a compact for peace ought to be a sufficient notification that there is no danger in it; but certainly, as a splendid example, it threatens the military article of glory and may some time take away the royal privilege of putting armies in the field for the purpose of wholesale yarteas wick Tees Retnmw wasn } murder. REY ING NO SNEERS FOR GEORGE. A WRITER says in McClure's Mag- azine that Washington is occa- sionally mentioned by his own people with sneers. We don't believe there is a single case of that kind. A good deal of fun is made of the older his- torians who gave him the attributes of a god and tried to have it understood that he was without imperfections; but that is a reflection on his worshipers and by no means on the man himself. The word used is unfortunate and to- tally untrue. THE BEAUTY OF EXTRAV- AGANCE, RUSSELL SAGE objects to Brad- ley-Martin balls because of their extravagance and the envy they are liable to provoke. Envy is a weak- ness that shows itself in most matters, large and small, and cannot be regu- lated or destroyed; but there are thou- happy because of the Bradley-Martin millions where there is one who gets good out of those of Mr. Sage. In- deed, extravagance is a virtue that in certain cases can hardly be praised too much. THE DANGER OF CONCESSION. T MAY BE WELL to dispense with wine at the inaugural banquet; but it will give the radical temperance people a hold on the adminis- tration which the McKinleys may regret. Those people are suspicious and will watch out for transgressions at the white-house with eager and eagle eyes. Probably there was never a more abstemious white: house family than the Hayeses; but they were more abused by the prohibition spotters than by their partisan opponents. Let the McKinleys supplicate for safety against their friends. ENTERTAINMENT DOWN SOUTH, LOUISIANA LYNCHERS to the number of two hundred recently hanged three negroes. An effort was made to burn one of them, but the wood was wet and he was merely scorched. Just previous to the final hanging two of the doomed men were graciously permitted to fight each other within a ring formed by the lynchers; and at intervals the mob sang “Nearer, my God, to Thee.” Is there anything in history more deliciously funny than the humor of these men, who are gravely men- tioned by the telegraph as respectable citizens ? you of what . i comicbooks.com
