ORIGIN OF THE WHITE TRASH.

A negro preacher by the name OF

"My breddren, when Adam and Ebe
was fust made they was bofe niggers.
But de good Lord put dem in de gar

and his winter apples, and tole 'em,
adam, you and Ebe may eat dem sum

A PRoHrBIToRY U. $. SENATOR.

The strongest temperance. man IN the
u. S. Senate is, undoubtedly, Senator
Flanagan of Texas, for he stated recent
ly that if he knew that there was wo-
man within the United States who could
bring influences to bear that would Sc
cure prohibitory law that would save
the men, women and children Of this Ma
ton from the scourge of intemperance,
he would, if he had had the power, va
cate his seat and place her in it. In the
course of the same speech, he said;
There is great question pending
here now, as to the resumption Of specie
payments. L would 60 any day, yea, L
would leave my bed at midnight, in the
deepest snow that we have now on Gods
earth, and 60 to the Capitol and vote to
make the Government pay the debt OF
the nation as it contracted to pay it. l
would resume specie payments by taxa
ton upon alcohol and its various ramlti
cations. would want no better subject
for taxation. Let those who are deter
mined to enjoy it, suicidally and other
wise, enjoy it but let them bleed free
ly in taxes for SO doing. Those taxes
would bless the nation. If you wish to
do it, not in part, but to 60 the whole
length, tax it sufficiently high to enable
you to wipe out the debt of this nation,
and perhaps that might check some of
the defenders of it to some extent. Why

this mighty nation is proud Of, which

The GRAND CENTRAL HOTEL, New
YoRK.-A recent New York letter says
of the Grand Central Hotel:
Although the Grand Centeral has
been daily a scene of busy activity since
it was first opened, Mr.. Powers has found
time this winter, with corps of skilled
artists in each department, to make his
splendid hotel look fresher and more
beautiful than ever Most noticeable,
perhaps, among the recent improvements
are the new and tasteful designs in freseo
work which adorn the halls, parEors,
grand dining room, and exchanges.
In keeping with this, solid and polished
walnut and white and variegated mar
BILE predominant below, while rich pat
terms of Royal Wilton and Administer
carpets cover the floors in every direc-
ton above The Grand Central is also
growing famous for It's table Another
deserving feature, now in great favor. is
the plan Of rates adopted by the Grand
Central, which allows the guests t.
choose the price and location of hi:
room, the prices $3,O0S3,50 and $4,0(
being charged according to the foo
selected.

SENATOR SUMMERS SUCCESSOR.

The contest in Massachusetts, on the
selection Of senator to fill out the term
of Senator Sumner, promises to be We
ry lively one. The press is divided in
opinion, and among the many and wor-
thy men, each of the following has sup
porters. Chas. T. Adams, who is count
ed independent so far as parties are con-
cerned. Banks, Butler, Pierce, Hoar,
Dawes, and perhaps some others. But
Ter is present and controls votes enough
to trouble his enemies if he cannot Sc
cure the election ofhis candidate. Judge
Hoar, Charles T. Adams and Dawes are
at present the most prominently spoken
of, but long contest may result In a
compromise and send some one else. Ma.
ny consider the election of senator fol
the unexpired term of small consequence
compared with the Importance of defeat
ing Butler next fall when he tries to b.
governor again. The Legislature viii
doubtless undertake to make a senator
this week.

There was great demonstration of
1rishmen in Hyde Park, London, March
10th, in favor Of the release of political
prisoners. There really seems to be
nothing to gain by keeping score or
two of misguided Fenians in prison,
and the British Government ought to
have nothing to fear in releasing them.
The exercise of leniency to these people
is the surest way of disarming the Irish
of their grievances, which are their most
effective weapons.
