THEY TELL of a meeting of a social club of ladies of the nobility in England which quarreled so violently that the chairwoman “ dissolved into tears and vacated the chair.” This sort of thing is going to keep on until we have another deluge. A MAN separated from his wife, according to a recent decision, is liable for the cost of the lady's burial, There needn't have been a formal decision of that kind. There are few men who, under such circumstances, wouldn't pay such expenses with the greatest pleasure. OUTSTRIPPED. —" Land sakes alive, Josiah!

HE GRANT HISTORY which ends with the completion and dedica- tion of the Grant monument has two facts which the JUDGE recalls with peculiar satisfaction. One of the proprietors of the paper gave up his cottage at Mount McGregor to the general during the closing weeks of his life, and there was written, during the agony of suffering and the un- avoidable apprehension of approaching death, a large part of the singularly strong, accurate and modest history which completed the life-work of the afflicted man, The book gave affluence to the general's family; and it was peculiarly gratifying after the unfortunate financiering of the author, whose superiority as a soldier was attended with only moderate ability in civil life. The other fact is that the JUDGE started the Grant fund, It was first of all, if not in the proposition, in the practical beginning of the work, Its Grant contest will be recalled by most of its readers, and it turned a large sum of money over to the managers of the fund, It was the JUDGE that laid the foundation of the magoificent structure whose dedication is attended with the sympathy and gratification of both north and south and of the larger portion of the civilized world. The JUDGE has a personal satisfaction in the crowning of the work which it began. It is proud of its association with the great soldier, historian, and statesman, It is gratified in a larger sense, however, since what has been done by the people for Grant has given glory to the country, which is greater than any individual. The people take care of their heroes, and that is a part of the patriotism which makes them great. A BAD PRECE- DENT. THE FIRST and the saddest experiment in retroactive engineering was the law providing for the back salaries of con- gressmen. We have al- ways thought it was a righteous enactment, but it worked on the futures of the gentlemen. who made it far more unhap- pily than on the retroactive period of what was irrev- erently called the grab. WILL IT COME AGAIN? WE PROPOSE no re- flection on the in- telligence of the people, but the first month’s roy- alty of Mr. Bryan on the sale of his book is said to have amcunted to sixteen thousand dollars. It isa suggestive fact in connection with the next national contest; and people who look back to congratulate themselves on the'r escape from an old dan- ger will do well to take on a little apprehension with regard to a new one of the same surprising quality. HONOR TO HIS MEMORY. RANT SAVED THE UNION, Just how he did it is of less impor- tance than the fact that he did it. Other captains had tried it and failed, It was easy to criticise his methods, and it is not easy to tell just where history will place him in the list of soldiers; but he saved the gov- ernment and he was a wise and honest president for eight years after that consummation. It has taken years to complete his monument, but every year has added to the glory of his name. THE MAN WHO GOT AWAY. HCEBE COUZINS formally revokes her opposition to man and advises women to marry. She is over fifty years old, and, while a charming lady, has quarreled with and been beaten by every organization with which she has been connected. In retiring from active life, as a result of rheu- matism and many disappointments, she perhaps thinks she might have had a few successes within the humble sphere of a household with a man in it; but, alas! her change of heart comes too late. comicbooks.com
