THE DECLARATION by Jacob Coxey that he is out of politics creates no surprise, So is r Thomas Jefferson. ATTI will have a fare- well husband, and heaven knows how many men of that kind it takes to complete the record. ARS MUST have victims as well as heroes, and General Alger thinks he is a regiment of the former all alone by himself. . Foot: BALL, accord- ing to Miss Anthony, is a silly game; and it must be admitted that a good many of the players are kngcked into that con- dition. THE BOSTON WO- MEN cried so hard over -Hall Caine’s lecture that.there wasta damp at- mosphere and every one in the hall caught a severe cold. o THE WIDOW of Mr. Keely says that gen- tleman left his secret with her. That is obviously untrue. If he had we should all have had it by this time. sleep wid me face covered if | wuz you.’ THE JUDGE anticipates a great deal of opposition in the fact that the debates of a woman's political society are to be published hereafter. A PAPER says that ex-Brother Ingalls has been separated from his voice. If the divorce had occurred several years ago the man might have been happy still. A MAN was recently arrested for dancing on the graves of relatives of a man he disliked. The chap who doesn’t know better than to select such a place as that for a dance is no artist. A KANSAS EDITOR says he recently found a ball of snakes that were fighting and squirming in a horrible way. A case of evolution. The valls he had previously encountered seemed to him quite harmless. Pastor PARKHURST is right in his declaration that the Philippines must not be annexed. His efforts to manage New York have nearly exhausted him, and any further responsibility might result in mental pros- tration, IN THE MUSEUM. THe DOG-FACED Boy—"* I'm afraid Santa Claus ain't ge ‘THE MATHEMATICAL WONDER—** Ob, yes, he will, But. WORK FOR MURPHY. SENATOR MURPHY says he has not quit politics and will not go around the world. It is obvious that he will not go on the lecture platform, for he can’t talk; and if he doesn’t write a book he—let us see— why, he must keep diary: REFORM INDEED. ' SOCIETY in Philadelphia proposes earlier hours for opening and closing dancing entertainments, and Mrs. Julia Grant and other equally con- spicuous ladies give their support to the idea. There is something so sensible in the proposition that it will take twenty years at least to have it generally adopted. A MYSTERIOUS MAN. ESQUIMAUX DECLARE that they have seen a man descend from the clouds. Andrée is the only man thought to have inhabited that alti- tude for a protracted period; and then again that is where many Spanish castles are located. However, the man cannot be a Spaniard, for men of that race never come down. THE CROWNING OUTRAGE. NOBODY. was more disgusted at the recent failure of two pugilists to fight to a finish than the man who growls at descriptions of prize- fighting. While he is firm for his principle, he does think he ought to have a few rights; and this habit of fakers of leaving him in a long state of painful doubt is as cruel as it is malicious. THE DILATORY SEX. THE GIRLS OF VAS- SAR were given the privilege of self-govern- . ment this year, and they so abused it that they will be subjected to the old strict rules hereafter. They did not go to chapel, they were not up at a proper hour in the morning, and they were late at meals. When their sex get the right to vote elections will have to be held a week at a time, with postpone- ments in case of inclement weather, RIGHTS OF THE SICK, [F ENGLISH LAW is to dictate the system wee 5, of medicine, or cure, which in’ to bring me anything Aeera still, Jo-jo, ter make it a cinch I'd Sick persons shall employ, it will find too much oceu- pation for its own health. There are thousands of persons who believe in the faith cure or the Christian-science cure as fervently and honestly as others believe in their religion, and it is easy for these persons to look upon legal authority of the kind proposed as,the most insufferable of all tyranny. KING OR CONSORT? THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT will consider whether Prince William of Wied, who will marry Queen Wilhelmina, will be the king or merely the prince-consort. As he is a Prussiah the decision will doubtless give him the minor position; and again, if the Dutch government takes the time for decision which characterizes its usual rapidity of judgment the decision will not be reached until both of the expectant parties ave dead. A MORMON SNEAK. W HATEVER SPECIOUS PLEADING may be made by Mr. Roberts, congressman-elect from Utab, the fact remains that he is a polyg- amist and that therefore his assumption of a right to hold public office is an insult to the people at large and to the general government. He wants to sneak into places which are forbidden him, after the manner of a Span- iard or a Turk, and there should be no technicality in or out of law for such an affront to decency and fair play.
