- The London Star says; "Charles
Dickens is said to be Indebted to the
Postofllce Directory for most of those
extraordinary names Of ladies and gem

little character to his creations.
A Connecticut Democratic paper
stated that Gen. L. p. Blairisa graduate

less than a yearto "go through College.
- The Portland Star says during the
present season at least 500 new houses
and stores will be built or completed in
that city. According to its estimates,

= George w. Childs, the well-known
Philadelphia publisher, gladdened the
hearts Of one hundred and forty newsboys

where the thermometer stood at 1902

Of hot day, singular as it may appear,

= An innocent Ohio delegate to the
New York convention wants to know how
it was, if Seymour's nomination was en-
tirely unexpected. that finely executed
portrait of the unwilling candidate was

- The Louisville journal says of the
democratic platform, a soundcr, wiser.
juster, ADLER, grander platform has GER
