sible assistance In making this feature of
the Centennial complete in all of Its sp-
pointmenis.

Roses covered vita ice were the novelties Of
yesterday In Tennessee.
Weston is poor. He can foot one hundred
miles day, but 1t bothers him sorely to foot
q single bill.
1t costs ten dollars in Maine for each oath
count Of weather. This appears little ty-
rainy.
No sooner does Mr.. Conway tell the coun-
try that there is no devil than Matilda Fletcher
comes hurryirg to the front with lecture on
"The Old Boy" Between the two Satan
won't be able to tell himself from haystack.
st. Louis Fuckers up its aristo cratic mouth,
and, bursting into q roar of laughter, ex-
ofair6s, "We've got double the population of
Rhode Islnad, whoop-ls," and then sinks into
meditative mood over the fact that some
portion of that number is not re-Joycing much
on the subject of whisky.
1t is stated that Brother Shearmau is respon-
sible for the great snow storms which are pre-
yailing in the North. Mrs. Moulton's last
statement froze his tears, and now the merry
jingle of the sleigh bells heard on the streets
of our Northern cities, and beavers are knocked
into cock-hats by stray snow balls, hurled from
hidden recesses known only to the boys.
aAnd 10! Caesar, that mighty phantom
which has partially slumbered for q while, once
more arises in its imperious and awful majesty,
and with mysterious silence shakes the very
foundation of the great Republic ominously."
All of which is specimen Of the emanations
which are now flowing freely from the s'idiot-
oral dapartmint" of the New York Herald.
"Levien: Shake 'em up, Jim."
While man is graphing with the great and
important issues of the hour, racking his
brain over the mysteries of National and
State Government, trying vainly to solve the
great financial problem of the day, woman
will stand for an hour before shop window
gazing upon the varied hues of pair of
striped stockings, and think her time well
spent. We are ready to take this back when
pressed to do so.
The concomitant evils of the great scandal
trial seem to be endless. Just as the people
had settled themselves back in their chairs,
hoping for term of rest from the nauseating
details of scandal, Henry c. Bowen lifts the
curta ain, and once more ushers into the presence
of the public the weary and unfortunate person
ages who are connected with the great immoral
muddle. Bah ! il we must have scandal, let
us, for the sake of variety, have It fresh.
There is a lunatic in Hoboken who in max
ing his will bequeathed his body to the En-
peror of Germany, his soul to the President of
the United States, his dog tp the Governor of
New Jersey, and his old clothes to his wife.
The Emperor, President and Governor cannot,
perhaps, appreciate their respective gifts, but
the wife says If she can get the old clothes
without the soul or body in them she will get
married before Christmas and be perfectly sat-
isfied with the situation.
And now another shadow of disappointment
passes over the countenances of our German
fellow-citizens. The last Reuter- telegram
states that Unzer Fritz Is not coming to our
Centennial If Fritz don't come to help us
celebrate our hundredth birthday, there is 8
grave doubt in our mind whether Germany
will get any munitions of war from us when
she is ready to take slice Of the. Mediter-
ranean on the south and q piece of the German
ocean on the north, just for seaport purposes;
and nothing more.
The young man who is supposed to edit the
New York Tribune, which supposition is 50
well founded as to make 1t very unfortunate
for that paper, has been making It daily
practice since Secretary Delano resigned to
publish the fact of the resignation of Commis-
sioner Smith. Yesterday Secretary Chandler,
on being interrogated respecting the founda-
ton of these rumors, replied, with smile,
"the Commissioners resignation wes accepted
at the same time Assistant Secretary Cowan
was removed" !" and now will young Enlarged
Head tell us when that event took placei
Another child acrobat has been rescued in
New York by the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. His name is Zana Poole,
the Poole Brothers. Various parties have tes :.
titled that the child was treated cruelty; and
yet the little fellow cried when placediin
charge of Mr.. Gatchell, the president of the
society. he probably mistook the nature of
the proceedings Democrat.
Not quite so fast. That he is a Poole Is
fact, but rescuing him in New York is q
mistake. When we last heard of the New
York society, Mr.. Bergh was its president.
Mr.. Gatchell is president of the Washington
society and the how WAS rescued In this eity
A slight error, that's all.
