VASSAR FOREVER! R. TAYLOR says the attractions at Brown do not outweigh those at Vassar, and therefore he shall remain at Vassar. The doctor must be more particular in his selection of words. Doubtless the attractions at Brown outweigh those of the other institution, but they are not of the right sex. THE DIVIDING LINE. LORD BER FORD says frankly that the proposed alliance between England and this country is not intended to include differences between England and any other for- eign country which. might lead to war; in fact it would be well to call it a com- mercial alliance. It will inevitably be more than that, but the gentleman draws the line at exactly the right : ‘i place. POLITICAL COMEDY. = FRENCH REPUBLIC is safe enough. It loses a president to-day ind has a new one to-morrow, and beyond a good deal of talk and a little excitement thé¥e is no fuss or danger. No people talk eftener or more rabidly of revolution, but that is their way. It isn’t intended-for pleasantry and is in fact dreadfully in earnest, but it is comedy and they never could get along without it. A GROWING EVIL, in Harlow, England, had a woman arrested for assault ssed him. Let an example be made of this woman. ‘The habit of kissing men by force and without their consent has gone so far that no man can consider himself safe. The late James Crow, as re- lated in the song, had to take the dogs along to keep the girls away, and that is whither we are drifting. THE LATE MR. TYLER. A CONTEMPORARY places John Tyler in the list of distinguished departed Democrats, along with Jefferson, Jackson, Marcy and: oth- ers. John was elected to the vice-presidency as a Whig, and though he afterward changed to some extent he was nothing more than a black sheep even if he ranked that high. He is chiefly recalled as a traitor to his party, though we believe he was never Democratic enough to repudiate the coun- try and the flag. comicbooks.com
