= = The man lives at the Cape,
and came into the city yesterday with
his child, ten years old. The man got
intoxicated, and during the evening his
team stopped on Chestnut street. The
driver thought he was going towards
home. The poor old horses were com
pletely tired out, and could not draw the
wagon and its load. Deputy Bridges
tack the man to the station and placed
him in cell. The child elung to him
and refused to be separated from him.
She said if her father was to pass an un.
comfortable night she would stay with
him, and nothing would induce her to
leave the cell. At midnight they were
both sleeping soundly on the bare
boards.

Paris Letter.
A FreHch journalist met with q
strange pet the other day when paying q
visit. While he was talking he noticed
something moving on the carpet which
was neither dog nor cat. On looking
again he saw that it was fine lobster,
dark gray, spotted with red, and thought
it must have escaped from the kitchen.
The lady smiled, and said, II must tell
you the history Of my pet. Some months
ago | bought lobster, and as it was not
wanted for dinner my cook left it in the
water in the kitchen. was going to a
ball that night, and being ready sat in
An easy chair and fell asleep. Suddenly
! sprang up from the pain Of sharp bite
in my foot and | saw the lobster biting
it. started up and ran to the kitchen.
No one was there, and a cloth in front
Of the fire had caught fire. 1t was soon
extinguished, but have kept the lobster
ever since out Of gratitude " 1t has its
basin Of cold water, and seems to recog-
nize its mistress, and is so fond Of music
that it is always drawn towards the piano
when ever she plays.

The Herald this morning editorially

that in the event Of Spain being forced

Cuba to the United States, 1t is probable
that she might have as allies to assist
her both France and England, The cost
of war In a contest for Cuba would be
infinitely greater than the mercantile
value OF Cuba Besides, Cuba will ultl-
mately come into possession Of the
United States without war. In case
of war our credit In the European
money market would be weakened. 1t
would advance gold, paralyxe the reve-
nue. Of manufactures, and add to the vol
ume currency. The Herald argues Of that
for these reasons in addition to the Gen.
tennial celebration, which would be
blighted by war or the apprehension,
the duty of the administration and the
people is that OF absolute peace. 1t pro-
tests against the administration party
making war for the purpose of advancing
the third term project. 1t urges the
President 10 remember that for him the
highest fame is what is to be found in
peace. He has won laurels enough in
the battlefield to care nothing for mil
itary success over q friendly and sorely
troubled people.

Notes IN The police Court.

had withering effect on their 'phiza-

were as sexpressionless as cake OF soap.
The first man to charge up past the
dead-line was one-armed hero with a
high forehead and military mustache,
answering to the name of A. G. Brown.
Said His Honor, ''Brown, the record
