T IS FOLLY to talk of taxing husbands. man has attended to that quite sufficiently, The universal married wo- ++ (COMROGUES” is a word invented by the Utica Herald, Its pur- pose is brevity and its meaning explains itself. GREAT ATTRACTION at a local theatre is a dancer who can't dance. She just looks pretty, and her ability in that line makes her great. ose oe A JURY in Cobourg, Canada, gives a girl twenty cents for a stolen kiss which she thought was worth two thousand dol- lars. Girls and mathemat- s seldom go together. TAMMANY was once famous, according to the New York Evening Sun, for having the abili- ty to make up its mind. _ Well, now, perhaps it has lost the requisite material. THE EDITOR of the London Standard having commended corn and the American method of eating it from the cob, the need of the arbitration business has passed away. KING LEOPOLD of Belgium is chiefly useful as a means to advertise the existing ballet-girl. Some of those girls look upon him as an- other advance agent of prosperity. MR.

THE AUDACITY of the proposition to drive the British out of Egypt couldn't be greater if it were one to drive them out of England; and really the sultan and the French mustn't attempt that. CAR OF SWEDEN wears his crown more than any other sover- cign. We should just like to see him go into our stock-exchange with the old-fashioned thing cocked over his right ear, WHEN IT WAS learned that Pingree had been in South America for two weeks, and nobody but himself knew of it, every potato in Michigan opened all its eyes with the most intense surprise. THERE IS MORE of the Vanderbilt than the Churchill blood in the new Marlborough baby ; so that if the youngster grows up as a spend- thrift he is likely to have the financial ability necessary to provide him with a sufficiency of funds. (A CHURCH DISSENSION in a Wisconsin’ town has resulted in the burning of two churches and the blowing up of a public hall used for church purposes. We like to see people have the courage of their convic- tions, but it is frequently very costly and destructive. : AFTER INFORMATION, rely) —"" Tommy, never let me hear you use the word ‘sling’ again. And did David really puta stone in his * throw’ and kill THE CUNNING OF A JUDGE. Jupce PARKER says he voted in ‘ninety-six for the regular national Democratic nominees. It is more than likely that he looked upon Palmer and Buckner in that pleasing light. And is the cheap cunning of his words worthy of his courage or his dignity as a candidate for chief judge? THE KING OF NEW YORK. HE MAN of the Klondike must find things very corfortable in that region, if he has had any experience in climbing tie uprooted and disrupted streets of New York. The contractor owns the town and di stroys its avenues and its business at will. No other king has such pr leges and such immunity of responsibility for the losses and the plagues he causes, NEW KINDS OF SLAVERY. E!cet NEGROES have been held in slavery for five years in Talla- poosa county, Alabama. They have been chained, whipped, and chased by bloodhounds. But this is not the only or the worst case of the kind, as may be learned by investigation of the contract prison labor of Georgia and Tennessee. A convict may be starved and worked to death, but the slave-owner cannot afford to waste his property in that way. A QUEER STATE OF THINGS. THERE IS AN inspector of retreats for inebriates in England, and he reports that drunkenness is rapidly increasing in that country among the workers and the higher classes, and particularly among women. Here, on the contrary, as shown by some statistician, the evil is rapidly decreasing. There is really no accounting for this situation, as England has no pro- hibitory laws and her temperance advocates are not as numerous as ours. THE PRECIOUS WIFE, NE HUSBAND lock- ed his wife in a trunk to keep her safe during his absence, and another finds himself sued for divorce because he gave his wife the larger liberty of a clos- et. There may have been jealousy in both cases: but the average woman will observe the compli- ment involved, for do not husbands given to that manner of thing consider their wives, like their dia- monds, too precious to be left unguarded? Let the safe-deposit companies think of this. CZAR AND JEW. THE NIHILIST pro- poses government by dynamite, he to be the czar through that agency and the existing ruler to die, Yet the existing ruler is amiable, and to begin with he didn’t want the crown and took it because he couldn't help himself. They say he has ameliorated the con- dition of the Russian Jews so that those persecuted persons don’t care to go to Jerusalem or anywhere else. That is such great progress that the destructive ought to go off only to kill the men who resort to it. A MODEL LYNCHER. HE CHIEF OF POLICE of the city of Mexico instigated the lynching of the man who smote President Diaz, and after confessing his crime shot himself in his cell. He was the only one of his kind. However fond of killing a lyncher may be, he has hitherto never been known to kill him- self. He puts no value on human life except when his own is in danger. He is prejudiced and sensitive in that way. The Mexican gentleman has set him a noble example, and let us hope that it will be followed to some extent hereafter. THE WOMEN AND THE GAMBLERS. NEW JERSEY voted the other day against race-track and other gam- bling by a small majority, and against woman-suffrage in connection with the schools by a majority of ten thousand, Here is a very curious case of progress and retrogression. Women and the schools are closely connected, and the states which have ratified the connection are very much pleased with their action, It is consoling to reflect, however, that the gamblers spent money for their liberty, while the women were left, for the most part, to take care of themselves. comicbooks.com
