ONGRATULATIONS are being showered upon Senator Murphy because he was renominated by his party in the legislature without a dissenting voice: yet it was merely unanimity in behalf of his defeat. The other side were unanimous for Mr. Depew, hat 1s a victory worth talking about. B! SHOP POTT: because the good people do not provide coffee-houses and reading-rooms to take its place. The shoulders of the good people are broad, and it must be gratifying to the saloon-keepers and the drinkers to place this grave re- sponsibility where it belongs. TWO TEMPERANCE VIEWS. JOUN RAINES proposes to ive the people of this state such dry Sun- days that there shall be no liquid consolation from Black Rock tw Coney island. and THE BLAME OF IT.

ROFESSOR SUMNER of Yale university weeps because Spain con- quered the United States. Through her influence, that 1s to say, we slaughtered our moral courage and our leaders truckled to populanity. we ought therefore to sit in sackcloth and ashes instead of making speech- es of triumph and singing songs of joy.
