RIFLE BALLS.


From the Courier-Journal, June Cd.
The Sunday liquor law seems to go very
hard with the newspaper men of Rochester.
Deprived OF all means of allaying their
raging thirst, they simply lie fiat on their
backs oil day and howl.
An exchange says "Pomeroy's Democrat
once more advocates the reputation of the
national dept" We were under the i'm
preston either that Pomeroy's Democrat
was dead or that it ought to be, we have
forgotten which.
People shouldn't insist upon Secretary
Richardson's resignation. 1t were better
perhaps that he should embarrass the oper-
ations of the United States Treasury than
that he should be turned loose to wreck the
finances of some peanut-stand.
A schooner with cargo of %, 900 bushels
of corn recently sailed from Chicago for
Cork, Ireland. You would naturally sup
pose that she had to make a long and
tedious land journey through Canada, but
this she avoided by taking to the canals of
that country.
The Madrid editors are abusing Caleb
Gushing for dining with Figueras and
CASTELAR,, and they intimate that he IS not
acquainted with the usages of diplomacy.
1t must be very trying to Caleb to wade
through column or more of Spanish de-
nunciation every day at least it would be
to most men who go abroad as American
Ministers.
One Of the poets of Northwestern
paper says:
What becomes Of the editors?
That's what I'd like to know:
They do heap of good on earth
And to heaven ought to 60.
Some of them certainly ought to; but
somehow or other too many of them seem
to regard the other place as better suited to
their business.
owe have our opinion of the man, " says
the Rochester Chronicle, I" who will take
Democracy when he can as easily take the
smallpox. " There are men who probably
would take tho smallpox in preference if
they had any assurance that some fool
wouldn't then advise them to go another
step h-wards by taking the Rochester
Chronicle.

Barbarous Surgery.

A correspondent Of the British Medical
Times mentions a curious and barbarous
remedy for headache and other cerebral af-
fections in vogue among the natives OF the
South Sea Islands They lay open the
scalp with cross or T incision, and then
scrape the skull with u piece of glass until .
hole is ris,.io ssbo,t tl.e tho eiso af "a crown
piece. This hole is made deep enough to
reach the dura mater, though sometimes an
unskillful operator win continue the scrap
ing until the pia mater is touched, when, OF
course. death results. In the best of hands
about one-half Of the patients die from the
effects of the operation. This custom,
from superstition and fashion, has been so
prevalent that there are few of the male
adults without hoe in his craniuTn, or as
the Australians express it +" without shin
GLE" Sometimes rude attempt is made to
cover up the membranes of the brain by
placing piece of cocoanut shell under the
scalp. This bone-scraping remedy is also
employed in cases of rheumatism. The cutl-
Gle is inclsed and the center of the ulna or
thibia laid bare, and the surface ofthe bone
scraped with piece of glass until large
portion of the internal lamina is removed.

POETRY.
IN THE DESERT.

The sands Of the Desert glowed hot and rel,
The sun of the Desert beat down,
Till it bistered the top of the Carmelites head
just the round shaven spot on the crown.
An Arab swept by, bare chested and brown.
MY tent door stands open, he said.
The monk found wine skin under his gown
The Arab brought dates and bread.
Kind Allah, we thank theer' the Arab cried,
When our simple repast was spread.

Nay. Sheick, thank the Lord nstead!"
Then the two argued loud and the two argued long
AS to how their grace should be said;
But before they had got at the right or the wrong
had finished both dates and bread.
When they turned to me, could not declare
On point so exceedingly fine,
But rode away ON the Arabs mare
With my friend the Carmelite's wine.
Just where my thanks are due cannot decide.
But honors easy. think:
So Allah / thank for the mare ride
The Lord for the wine drink.

The New Secretary of the Treasury.
from the N, Y, Evening Post

Mr.. Benjamin H. Bristow, whom the
President has nominated Secretary of the
Treasury, has been somewhat prominent in
science OF finance or with prominent nfrfEri-
ciers. lie was Solicitor-General under At
torney-General Arkman, and was nominat-
ed by the President to Mr.. Williams place
when it was supposed that the latter would
be confirmed as Chief Justice of the Su-
rreme Court. During the last year or two
Mr.. Bristow hos held a business position in
Louisville He has several times been men-
toned for seat ON the Supreme Bench OF
the United States when such candidate
has been sought from the Southern States.
He has a local reputation for much ability
and strict integrity, and opposite papers
like the Courisr-,Joarnat warmly commend
ed his nomination to the Attorney
ship
While it will doubtless be generally re-
grctted that the Presidents choice for this
important position was not some man whose
name andrscognized experience would COM
manl the confidence OF the people, there
| will be general congratulations over any
change from the recent management of the
| Treasury; and in the vast opportunities
| that open up before the new Secretary he
will have The best wishes of the country.s

TOPICS OF THE TIMES.

"That sneak Butler" is an expression
by the Troy Press. We must insist that
this sort of thing be stopped. Mr.. Butler
is the soul of franl1Eess and force; there is
nothing of the sneak in him. We have not
the slightest doubt that rather than go
through house like a sneak he would
murder the entire family and burn the
establishment And then he would show,
beyond question, that he had been doing
merely his legal and moral duty.-Rochestes

Xenia, Ohio, NsDs. In his Traits Of
Journalism he tells the following: One
day we had an advertisement of the ColuHl-

came to me and told me there must be an
editorial notice of it. My time was short.
The forms were waiting and | wrote -

I got up late next day, and the edition had

Remarkable Adventure of Jersey City
Journalist.
From the Albany Argus. May q.

An ex-editor Of a Jersey City paper
arrived at the Delayan House last evening,
and tells the following story: As he ap-
preached the Grand Central Depot, New :g
York, yesterday morning to take the 1890
express, he noticed two very pretty and
elegantly dressed young ladies, who. came
up and treated him as an old acquaintance,
and he thinking it was case of mistaken
identity, thought he would carry the thing
through and hare some fun. They informed
him that they had procured a section in the
drawing-rooin car and invited him to take
scat therein. He did so, and enjoyed a
very pleasant ride of two hours. On the
arrival OF the train at Poughkeepsic both
the ladies put their arms around his neck,
and kissed him good-by. He stepped in the
dining room and ate some lunch and re
turned to the train, when, to his disnlas
eand alarm, he found he was minus hi
