THE first building in the country

THE East River Bridge which is to con-
meet New York and Brooklyn has already
cost nearly six millions of dollars, and
only two piers have been built. The
people of the two cities are very natur
ally inquiring what all this money has
been expended for. Evidently there are
other Tweeds than the "Boss around
New York.
AN irate subscriber to the New York

his request could not be complied with at
present He had paid in advance, and
his name had been entered on the books;
so that there was no way Of taking it off
until his time regularly expires.
SUSAN 3. ANTHONY gives vent to her
wrath at the decision of the highest tri-
bunal in the land denying her the right
of suffrage in the following bit of with
ering sarcasm You will recollect that
was in Missouri last summer at the
bedside of suffering brother. Well,
couldn't go five miles out of town with
out meeting flock of grasshoppers that
would make a better bench of Judges
than the present Supreme Court of the
United States"
PRESIDENT MAKING is a business that
occupies large share of the editorial
mind of the country just now. There
does not seem to be any lack of timber !
either. The Illinois Stats Ze5tataQ |
dominates Minister Washburne the
Cincinnati Commercial indicates pref
erence for Judge Alfonso Taft, and the
Cincinnati Times thinks Gov. Hayes |
would be the proper man to head the
Republican ticket. Several Indiana pa
pers are red-hot for Gov. Morton, and
in Illinois quite number of Republican
Journals are equally earnest in advocat- |
ing the claims of John A. Logan. In
the East multitude of prospective can
didates are named among Republicans
as well as Democrats-Tilden, of course, |
being the most prominent of the latter
party. After all, it is mere conjecture as
to who viii be the winning horse; but
then, you know, the average editorial
mind would go astray if it were not af-
forded vent to its preference In this re-
spect.
THEY had a lively little pistol matinee
down at Sparta, in the mountains Of
East Tennessee, the other day. The ac-
count of the affair proceeds to state that
Constable Hudson arrested a bolster
ously drunken man named Padgett, who
resisted and drew knife on Hudson,
who in turn drew a pistol and shot
Padgett dead. Sewer Ivans, friend of
Padgett, coming to his defense, was also
shot in the abdomen by Hudson and
killed. ID. @. Lowry, another friend of
Padgett, next attacked Hudson and was
aoioaa1 L1saa IJ3f h<s4 f,11skbo1,
stated that the fight was every desper-
ate we should rather think so-and
that the men killed had SO many
relatives in town that the Constable had
to fee;'' from which the inference is
drawn that it is dangerous to kill man
III Tennessee who has relatives. The ac-
count closes with the cheerful statement
that ''a man is killed in the vicinity of
Sparta in personal encounter on an av-
erage once every six months" What
pleasant neighborhood to live in "the
vicinity of Sparta " must be.
A REMARKABLE instance of the verif-
cation of a prophecy of the manner of a
death has just been given in Cincinnati.
Eight years ago Miss Josie Booth,
well-known actress, who was then play
ing at McVicker's Theater, in Chicago,
told Mrs. Emma Tryon, an intimate and
confidential friend, that when she
,(Josie) died it would be in her friends
arms, and that the last glass of water she
would ever take would be from her
hands. Shortly after this the two sep
arated and saw each other no more until
two or three weeks ago, when they met
in Cincinnati, where Miss Booth was
1o1avinn She was livino with Mrs
