AN Alexandria man who had gone home
almighty tight thought TO fool his better
halt by complaining of an awful pain in the
gastric region. About the time he struck
the bed he was fast asleep. The good
vie, taking his vigorous snoring for symp-
toms of pain, soon after perfected mus
tard poultice, which she applied to the
afflicted part, causing real pain in the
morning. The sight of mustard cruet
new will throw him into spasms.

SCRIBNER's, for April, opens with
record of can Hour among the Green
backs" which is as entertaining as story.
The unnamed author certainly writes from
thorough acquaintance with his subject,
and gives, with the aid of pictures, the best
account yet published of the workings Of
the currency department. Miss Proctor's
profusely illustrated description Of " Mos
cow and Southern Russia" will be read
with peculiar interest at this time, as well
as the sketch of " An Emperor's Vacation
at Vichy." Among the illustrated papers
are articles on Americas prima donna,
Clara Louise kellogg, with portrait, and
"An Ancient American Civilization"
with pictures of Peruvian antiquities. Be-
sides DR.. Hollands serial, :" Arthur Bon
nicastle," there is, by way Of fiction, the
beginning Of a very powerful story by
SAKE Holm, 8" The Elders Wife," sequel
to Draxy Miller's Dowry. Other valuable
and interesting papers, in prose and verse,
make up one of the best numbers Of this
deseryedly popular monthly. In " Topics
of the Times" DIR. Holland displays his
happy and versatile talents to fine effect,
and gives us one of the pleasantest repasts
to be found in any of the monthlies.
The May number of Scribner's opens
the sixth volume, and, as the publishers
say, "This is the time to subscribe"
LIPPINCoTT's MAGAZINE for April
contains an interesting article on the i'm
po,tan industries for which the city of
Wilmington, Delaware, is so justly dis
tinguished. The writer has evidently ex-
erted himself to obtain the most trustwor-
thy information, which he presents in a
q style remarkable for its clearness and
easy flow. The article is profusely Illus
trated. The second .instalment of 1.-THE
Roumi in Kabylia," with its vivid descrip-
tons Of life and scenery, its striking and
amusing anecdotes, and its excellent picto-
rial embellishments, constitutes the second
entertaining paper. " Thackeray's Gray
Friars,'" by an old "Gown-boy," is full
of interesting "reminiscences Of the old
4 Charter-House school, and of Thackeray's
connection with it. The article is evidently
from the pen of one familiar with some Of
the best and most curious phases o.
English life. The other contributions tc
the magazine are all interesting and yalua
BILE papers. "Our Monthly Gossip" as
usual, is full of piquant and engaging
anecdotes and timely notes on men ant
things. This is one of the handsomes
) magazines published, and can be found a

sources of true wealth and greatness in
the state. Its platform should pledge the
party to generous and unchallenged sup
port of the national administration, and,
satisfied with this, confiue itself as strictly
as possible to state issues, as such alone
will be involved in the political canvass.
1t should then nominate from
among its number (meaning thereby
all who supported the national admnistra-
ton in the late presidential election) man
for Governor of sufficient strength and
popularity to carry not only the vote given
for General Grant, but at least one-half Of
the stay .at-home vote in that election.
This done, the state is as certainly redeem-
ed from the thraldom Of this loggerhead
party that came out Of political chaos as
that the sun shall rise on the day of our
November election. To find such man as
we have named will be no difficult task.
The sentiment of the convention will spon-
taneously point him out, if left to its own
unbiased judgment. No one who has not
the popularity to command the vote we have
named, should be pushed for the position for
a single moment. 1t is not a time to con-
suit the interests of candidates, but the
true interests of the party and of the state.
The party that sprung from chaos Ito use
the metaphor of Tho Enquirer, can be
hurled back to its place of " confusion
worse COMPOUNDED" next November, with
a thmble-full of Republican brains well
directed in the undertaking.

AN interesting statement of the total OF
the commercial naves of the world shows
that one-third of all the sailing vessels, and
two-thirds of all the steamships Of the civ
iized world, carry the British flag. The
United States comes next, though a long
distance behind. Against 1912 British
sailing vessels engaged in commerce, we
possess but ,092, and against the British
tonnage of 8 1850. 1877, ours is but 2, 272 100.
The steamships of Great Britain number
2,53s, having a tonnage of 2,3S2 .l45; the
steamships Of the United States number only
four hundred and twenty, and represent an
aggregate of 401 ,043 tons. Norway and
Italy rank third and fourth in the posses
sion of sailing vessels, and Germany and
France continue the list at a slight distance
behind. In regard to steamships France
comes third and Germany fourth on the
list. The entire table, which covers nearly
all the states of the civilized world, shows
that the commercial navies Of the present
day number $751; sailing vessels, measur-
ing IA, 563 $3.50 tons, and 4,33S steamships,
measuring $3.50, $40 tons. gq As

The New York constitutional commits
sion has proposed an amendment to the
Constitution making judges in all cities
having 00,000 inhabitants or more appoin-
tive by the Governor with the concurrence
of the Senate, instead Of elective by the
people, as now. This lisa much-needed re-
form for New York city, where it is impos-
sible to have pure judiciary under the
elective system. 1t is also step in the d.
rection of returning good sense on this
subject. An elective judiciary is, in our
judgment, as objectionable among one peo-

PRACTICALLY, the common-school
teachers in the United States are now wo-
men between the ages Of seventeen and thir-
ty-five. In the country schools they are
virtually the sole occupants of the field.
In all the Western cities they are gradually
taking the places Of men. Except in
schools for large and uuruly boys they are
decidedly our best teachers. Let them
have the entire field, we say.

The Cuban committees of New York
and elsewhere, says the Washington
Chronicle, would do well to hold their
horses. TO charge, as they do, that the
republican administration in Spain is not
acting in good faith, because it is not able
to settle the colonial problem with a
dash of the pen, is assuming too much.
The President and Secretary Of State are
doubtless giving the matter thoughtful con-
sideration, and they are not likely to COM
plicatc the difficulty experienced by the
new government Of Spain by precipitately
according belligerent rights to the revolu-
tionists in Cuba while the question of free
dom for the slaves is under discussion in

In has been made question whether
the abolition of the ranking privilege will
apply to the widow Of President Lincoln
who received the right of ranking, on the
death of her husband, for the rest of her
natural life. We should say that this was
vested privilege, somewhat in the nature
OF contract, and that Congress cannot
interfere with it.
