" Gen. Grant declared, in his
inaugural, that the proper way to
effect the repeal of an obnoxious
law was to rigidly enforce it. This
was his theory! How he has car
ried it out? Is he for enforcing
the law of 1889, which prohibits
persons interested in paying Gov
ernmenttaxes? Instead of enforc-
ing this law, he first violates itand
then asks Congress to sustain
him in the violation. If he is ex.
cellent in precept, he is certainly
poor in practice.

Rats are not pleasant CON-
panions; but we have to sub
NIT to their presence in every
place where there is a chance
for them to forage with success.
The Chicago people are over
run by the cunning rodents,
owing to the grain storage in
that city. There are IL grain
elevators there, and each one
harbors, it is said, about 10, ZOO
of these vermin. They con-
sumo as much as would SUI
tain the lives of IL, 900 persons,
and if the damage they do in
Touring mills be added, rats
alone cost Chicago about $780,
900 per annum. The Chico &c
folks are therefore loudly call
ing for a genius to arise and
invent ratproof buildings.

A ROMANCE OF THE CUBAN Re-
BELLIoN.-An American citizen
who was in the Theater of Vallan-
ueva on the evening of the ed
ult., and witnessed the riot and
massacre in the streets of Havana
that evening, says that the origin
of the outbursC was the shooting
of young woman. He says:
A very beautiful girl, the daugh-
ter of Albania, one Of the wealth
lest and most noble of all Cubans,
wore upon her left breast the
American flag, with the inserp-
ton, "Long Live the Republic of
Cuba" When that stirring song
was being sung, the whole audi
ence rose and cheered this young
woman, and as she rose to &C
knowledge the salute-all eyes
were now bent upon her--a low,
mean, cowardly Spaniard shot her
with a revolver, killing herinstant-
ly. Two American gentlemen &C.
cupied the box adjoining Senorita
Albania, whose names I do not
know, but one of whom, seeing
the pistol pointed at the young
lady's breast, drew his revolver,
and a second after the Spaniard
had fired, blew off the top of the
head Ofthe cOwardly assassin. In.
stantly the whole theater was the
scene of the greatest confusion,
and the Spanish troops rushed in
and firing upon the masses of
the huddled, nnarmed, innocent
men and women.

Ulysses the Little.

EH E traHf v
l met Fold man BIair,n as they
call him, the father of General
Blair,) to-day, and in the course
a short conversation the subject
of CRAFTS removal of Frank from
the petty office of Pacific Railroad
Commissioner was alluded to-
Mr.. Blair seemed to feel deeply
hurt, not because of the removal,
but because of the manner in
which it was done. He said he
had taken pains to inform Grant,
very soon after his Inauguration,
that Frank did not intend to EN-
harrass him by holding the Office,
hut would resign it within a
month. There was some partic-
ular reason why he wished to
main even that long; but Grant
was told that if he wished to APP
point somebody else Immediately,
Frank would resign forthwith,
rather than he formally removed.
This request from an old gentle
man who has been respected by
every President since the days of
Jackson, in behalfO f bis son, who
was one Of the bravest and hest
Federal officers from the North
west, so far from accomplishing
the desired -5sult, precipita d
what it intended to avoid. Up to
this time Grant did not know that
Frank Blair held any Office under
the Government, nor that there
was any such office as Pacific Rail.
road Commissioner. He imme-
diately ordered Blair's removal
and the appointment of Mr.. Isaac
n. Morris, of Illinois, in his stead.
And, as l said in a former letter,
on the very same day that he re-
moved Blair from one office he
appointed Longstreet to another
and a better one.
Now, l should like somebody
who is versed in history to match
the above as an instance Of petty
malignity on the part of a man
occupying so high a place as that
of President. The act, trifling as
it may appear, shows one of the
strongest characteristics of Grant,
and is a true index from which to
judge the man and the President.
He is, by all odds, the smallest
specimen of the genus homo that
ever emerged from the industrious
obscurity OF q lanyard into the
blazing meridian of craftsmanship.

b. Corset Strings.

yOur0lgnGeen-lncn waist young
lady, although eighteen inches
is a monstrOus waist-it is q
greater waste to throw away
your health to secure a smaller
one. 1sFska8gg.ras FE e.=knqs
Perhaps you think the men
admire a tiny waist, that can
be clasped with two hands. Not.
a bit of it! Men are sensible
enough to know that God never
made a woman without lungs
and heart inside her ribs; and if
the place where these organs
should be is reduced to a quar-
ter part the natural size, they
are also sensible enough to
know that the lungs and the
heart must be somewhere, and
if they are squeezed from their
natural position, the next ques-
ton is, where are they? s
1t isjust like this, girls: thou
sands ofyou are every day lac
ing up a nice little bundle for
the Angel of Death to take
away. 1t is your life that you
are drawing the fatal cords
about! With your own white
hands yOn are straining at the
bands that must hurry you
from earth. Every time you
tighten your corset strings be-
yond the drawing of a free,
natural breath that will expand
your lungs to the utmost. you
are drawing your own life with
in the natural limits. You are
killing yourself to follow a
senseless fashion. You laugh
at the foolish negro woman
who must measure six feet
about the waist to be consider
ed fit for matrimony, but / tell
you that every negro woman
of them is more sensible than
yourself, who tighten the fatal
strings until there is nothing
! left of a natural waist but q
backbone, the tip end of two
ribs, a scrap of cuticle, and
eight strips of whalebone.
just as though God didn't
know what he was about when
he cut out the pattern for his
Eve! Just as if you knew bet
ter than your Maker how many
inches your waist ought to
measure. When you can manu-
facture the lungs, heart and
other organs about which you
draw the corset strings, it will
be time enough to make a
whalebORe basket to hold them
but while God makes the body,
do give Him a chance to suit
Himself about the size Of the
waist. 1t is of little conse-
quence that your father or hus-
band has a thousand dollars to
! pay the doctor, every little
| while.
No matter if your mother
mourns over your failing health
and anxious friends sigh and
whisper that you are falling
into a decline. No matter if
your life is cut short by the
habit of tight lacing, if you
can only show to your fashion
able friends a waist six inches
smaller than the average. Only
think of it! a waist so small that
it can be elasped with two
hands! This is even better
than wearing the smallest bon
net, and having four new ones
a year, isn'tit?-[ Literary Com

LICENSED GAMBLING HOUSES

.y LICENSED GAMBLING HOUSES
IN New ORLEANs.--We copy the
following paragraph from the
New Orleans Republican Of the
23rd: s.e $50 ha4 arar
The question is being tested
whether the morals of commune
ty are more corrupted by open
and licensed gambling houses,
where no one can play in secret,
than by the system or practice of
gambling prevails in all our large
cities. There are those who main
tain that twice to be hated needs
but to be SEEN" There is some
truth in this view of tho matter.
and though men gamble openly
now in licensed houses, it is not
presumed that gambling has a
greater number Of votaries here
than before. IN
There are three or four open
houses on st. Charles street, and
new establishments are thrown
open nearly every day. Build
lgs ineligible for business pur-
poses, like one on Bienville street,
between Royal and Chartres, are
taken up for gambling houses, and
great d9al OF activity is exhibited
III the preparations.s In fact, there
seems 10 be ulaIna for opening
new gambling houses in various
parts OF the town. The State will
probably derive rev lie of near
ly half a million dollars from Ii
ceases to gambling establishments
-bnt somebody must lose. We
are saying nothing of the morality
or immortality of the question, but
are only stating facts as to the in
crease Of gambling houses.
just now their daily matinees
are largely attended, and they
materially interfere with the even
ing attendance at some of the
theatres. But the novelty of open
gambling houses will wear OFF
after a while, and the hundreds
who flock to them only from mo-
tives of curiosity will resume their
accustomed nightly rounds. We
shall report the experiment from
time to time, concealing nothing.
