THE Democratic serensde advertised for
last night was postponed on account Of the
weather. 1t is true, the weather was damp,
but no rain fell. It is true, further, that
the real reason of the postponement was
the ''damper" put tupon the respectable and
truly conservative Democracy by the cleo
ton of Mr.. Kerr. If Mr.. Randall had
been elected the slight fog which is now
advertised as inclement weather would
have added to the enthusiasm; but Mr..
Kerr-who desires to celebrate his victory

be Speaker because it doubtless helps the

The political dodger of the Centennial year
who has Presidential aspirationsi is as far away
from the White House as Heaven is from the
camping ground OF his Satanic majesty. In
connection with this fact it might be stated
that Senator Booth, as far as can be ascer-
tanned, has no politics worth mentioning.
This is characteristic of a dodger.

THEREi is some talk of piercing the
Alps by third tunnel, this time under
Mont St. Bernard. At the center Of
theotunnel it is proposed to excavate a
shaft to the SURFACE, through which
visitors could be drawn up to a hotel,
and thus obtain the view without ia
tigue. The project for piercing tun-
mel under the. Straits of Dover seems
to be really approaching definite shape.
It is proposed 70 place it in the lower
chalk, and though the whole underta-
king will probably be the most stupen.
deus of its kind that the present gen.
eration will attempt, it is not expected

was the result Of an odd theory put in
to long practice. lie lived always

q proportionatc share Of entertain.

plays and places were avoided by him
until the time prescribed for them ar.
rived, when he would enjoy them all
the more because of the long anticipa-
ton. His appetite was regulated in
the same cool manner. His object, he
said, was to escape firing Of life, and
to use the worlds pleasures in the
wisest and most rational way. In
the realization Of his plan he only
reached opera short time ago. "The
Hnguenots" was the one selected and
he was in a state Of high excitement
on the night of his first visit to the
Grand Opera House. lie had a whole
box, and being an ardent admirer of
Meyerbees music. he was enthusiast
nc in his admiration Of the entertain
nent. At the end Of the first act he
ell from his chair and instantly died
The undue agitation had induced an
stack Of heart disease. In his desk
vas found a carefully prepared pro.

asted until the sOth year. 1tincluded |
