a., Skinner would have resigned long
oso but he thought Of all the other hearts
that w would ache. He did not care Tor
himself
The donkey that vanquished the lion
ess in Cincinnati. was generally writ
down an ass f; and he has since died from
modification.
"Unclen Daniel Drew is catching it on
all sides in New York. He denies being
mixed up with the gold corner and the
papers say he lies.
The decrease of over three millions aud
a half in the public debt for the month OF
March, speaks well for Secretary Bris-
tow's management of the national finan-
ces.
Minister Gushing committed grave
indiscretion when he foundered into the
pedigree Of young King Alfonso. The
monarch is not that wise child of whom
the proverb speaks.
Prohibition in Massachusetts, appears
not TO be master of the situation. The
Legislature has just passed new law,
winch. forbids The open sale of liquors
over bar, but permits the granting of IL
censes TO hotels and restaurants.
A verdict of guilty upon an Indictment
for polygamy, was returned on Friday
last, in Salt Lake City, in the case of Geo.
Reynolds, a Mormon. The jury was COM
posed of both Mormons and Gentiles, and
they were out about half an hour.
The "patent insides" sold TO the Wis
consin country papers have propagated a
dismal libel on an aged gentleman. The
telegraph announced that "The Pope has
another chill" and the fortY-seven news
papers of Wisconsin remarked that "The
Pope has another child"
A Fond du Lac mother said 10 her
daughter the other night, as the girl was
leaving home for an extended visit TO
friends in Brooklyn, "If tall fgger ever
lifts ye out of bed, jest you larrup him,
Jane" and Jane, trembling with emo
ton, said, "You betI"
The Mexican government should be
compelled to prevent incurslons from
their side of the Rio Grande. That will
be done or there will be frst-class row
between the two countries. The line of
disturbance must be guarded on both
sides by military police.
Plymouth Church, says an exchange
holds morning prayer-meetings TO petit
ton strength and sustenence. for the pas
tor No one prays for TIlton, and he has
10 rely for his strength on Mocha coffee
porterhouse steaks, fricaseed oysters, and
such common things as that.
The postal conference at Berne. repre-
sented by nineteen States, was as we gath
er from Paris dispatch to the London
Times, ratified treaty by only three dis
dissenting States. These include the
q. 8. and exclude France. The uniform
rats agreed upon is six cents for hall
ounce.
Woodruff deposes and says: "In one
of my last interviews with Theodore Til
ton, he came to my house and told me
he had Just come from his house, and
had left Mr. Beecher there. He said Mr.
Beecher had been holding Elizabeth on
one knee and him on the other, with his
arms round both, hugging them.
The senatorial excursion to Mexico has
broken up, several of the party having
decided at New Orleans TO go no further
while few will proceed to Vera Cruz,
by the regular mail steamer and as pri-
vste travellers. The pros pect of encoun-
tering yellow fever on the trip was suf1-
cient to counterbalance the many attrac-
ton of the excursion.
Beecher, on Friday last, denied in the
most explicit and solemn manner the
whole series of Moulton's assertions. He
did not mince words at all, but used the
plainest and most sweeping negatives.
His feelings got the better of him and his
eyes became foun tains of tears. Could
this be taken as recurrence of the ''rag-
ged edge" experience?
The Presidents voice is against war or
annexation as mode of indemniication
for the Mexican outrages. Neither step
is contemplated in Washington, though
tits quite probable that the State Depart
ment has taken official notice of the
greaser incursions. and has signifed to
our neighboring Republic the desirability
ofputting stop to that kind of thing
There is q rumor abroad to the effect
that the Indian title to the Black Hills Re-
servation is defective and illegal; wheth-
er this shall prove to be the case, there is
little doubt that some flaw will be discov-
cred in order to enable the gold-seekers
to satisfy themselves that there is no gold
there in paying quantities. This will be
the result, and untold amounts will be
squandered in ascertainiug it.
What a jocose sort of place Columbus
is, under Democratic swayl The thing
came out in connection with the Wood
county business. Every man about the
legislative halls who was offered a con.
sideration for his vote, or cigar with a
800 bill rolled up in it, took it, incont-
nently. ss joke. Ii was doubtless bet
ter to joke over the matter than after it
The effect will probably be TO defeat the
party with which these jokers are
connected, next fall. and then there will
be little stomach for joking among these
funny fellows,
It is high time a summary end should
be put to outrages in the mining districts
and the lawless disturbers of the public
peace be brought to justice. This open
and defiant Kukluxism in the North is
as deserving of punishment as the mask
ed Kukluxism in the South. When men
are driven from their work because thew
do not put their labor at a figure set f.,
them by mere strangers, the moment has
come 'vvhen the ,,naobiner,, &c L. =,
