Flac OF CERVERA—* Gone to dinner, Back in a week.” see MBE: BRYAN will make a fine figure as a colonel, but he must make no speeches to.the Spaniards from the tail-end of his regiment. 4 ee NLY ONE of the more distinguished pugilists has spoken lately, and he doesn’t want to go to war so much as he wants to go to congress. THE EDITOR of the Buffalo Express wants to send all the members of congress to war ina sin- gle regiment. Well, now, is this a mere pugilistic controversy ? eee THose AMERICANS. who hoist the Spanish flag want to be noticed. They are likely to be grat- ified in every instance, and Presently they may get a funeral apiece. T IS NOT strange that the commander at Ca- vité didn’t know the pur- pose of the white flag. His favorite color is black, and he never recognized the white flag on the vessel of a conquered enemy. eee IF THE MAN LOVE, who wrote a letter of apology to the queen re- gent of Spain, were to be smitten on one of his cheeks he would undress himself and present his entire cuticle to the author of the insult. a woman with Yankee blood in her veins." A PAPER of Porto Rico discusses a sausage-factory, the main material to be composed of the flesh of yankees. This voluntary confession of cannibalism was hardly looked for even in that locality. [A SCIENTIST proposes an attachment, with an emollient in it, to every bullet which shall be fired at an enemy. That is mercy itself, There is only one thing better, and that is to keep the bullet in the gun. ON CARLOS had better think a good many times before trying to capture the Spanish government. If he were successful in the effort he would have trouble enough on his hands to worry him to death. eee MBE DEPEW is probably right in his opinion that we want to acquire more territory merely for temporary purposes; and at the same time those puritans who acquired this continent for all time didn’t act altogether without wisdom, eee MB: WANAMAKER came down with great rapidity from his exalted perch as soon as Mr. Quay's convention had selected Mr. Quay’s man. It isa pity; but what shall a man do when he asks for bread and is given a Stone? PATRIOTIC DIFFERENCES. SeSoR OLROMARGEKINO—"* Maledicto carramba! Curses upon the day that I was joined to > A.

RANCE HAS FORGOTTEN the fact that she burned her fingers Fnearly forty years ago by meddling with-tlie affairs of our side of the water; that sbe did it again in her subsequent war with Germany, and that she nearly wrecked her government once by her impudent enterprise in behalf of the Panama canal. DEWEY'S POLITICS. ADMIRAL DEWEY as a naval officer never considered it his duty to vote, and so he never voted. It is hard to follow the logic; but we suppose this is the reason for his formal adoption by Tammany hall, which: has a habit of adopting various persons and things as to whose immediate ownership there is:no record. They tried to hook Grant at the close of the civil war, but he escaped. BLOOD WILL TELL. 2 [8 CANADA the other day there was a meeting in behalf of an alliance between England and the United States, and the enthusiasm knew no lines of boundary. The British flag and ours were displayed together, and “God save the queen” and “The star-spangled banner” were sung, a verse from each being given alternately, There is a good deal of human nature in the people of both countries, and it may assert itself some day re- gardless of the home poli- tics of either and both. PROPHECY. oot IS BELIEVED here,” says a Wash- ington dispatch, “that the war will last a year."> How should Washington know more about this thing than New York or any other commercial and political centre? The war may last a year, or two years. The work of getting ready for war takes a long time. But Spain cannot last a year under existing con- ditions; and one or two United States victories, « such as are liable to occur any day, would settle the matter so far as actual fighting is concerned. THE IDEAL MAN. HARES ELIOT NORTON in his valedictory to his class of Har- vard college did not repeat the proposition that war is a matter for the lower classes to deal with and the boys of Harvard had better aim higher with their smokeless, noiseless and bulletless guns; but he said his last words were, “ Be good men; this is my last and best wish.” It is excellent advice; but the standard is placed so high by the professor that all of the boys must inevitably get discouraged before they begin, and Must resort to more or less war as a relief to their overcharged ambition. For Professor Norton was originally designed for an angel, and got on earth solely by accident. 4 (pik Wy HISTORY. ALFONSO PLAYS with toy soldiers, some of them representing Amer- icans and some Spaniards, and in every sham battle the former get whipped. On the last day that the prince imperial of France was at the Tuileries he played with toy soldiers, and the German half of them were badly beaten, The next day his, little majesty went with his papa to the front, and presently got his baptism of fire. “He picked up a spent ball,” says the account, “and the soldiers wept at his temerity.” In a few weeks Louis Napoleon was a prisoner and an exile, and the empress and the prince imperial joined him at Chiselhurst. Soon the ex-emperor died, and a few years thereafter the prir/< went to South Africa and was killed by savages. comicbooks.com
