RDITORIAL JOTTINGs,

- The Abyssinians are going over into
Egypt to give those tawny people last fare
well.
- Barren IdeaIity Allen Acknowledges at
last that he is "self.made," and naturally
enough heaven feels easier.
- The "pull-ip" necktie is all the style in
Kansas among the vigilants. They hung three
men on one limb recently. r
-'Beecher eats his corn on the cob" If
the poor fellow would only eat it off the cob
he would get enough more cholera morbus to
make It pay.
Prince Mawn Chow Chat Chan On, a
priest in the Temple Wat Somanat Siam, has
been gathered in, and the tears of that people
are a-dripping.
- Governor Hayes uncle died and left him
$3.50, 900. Blessings never come singly. He
will be elected by about thirty-fve thousand
majority in October. ...r
- Beecher's latest is 'calm inwardness."
Taken in large doses every hour, it is said that
it will boost cholera morbus higher than
Henry's biography of our Saviour.
If there is any one thing more laughable
than another just now It is the manner in
which the Democracy cling to the idea that
s. Boil Tlden is possible President.
Gov. Allen owns by Inheritance vslua-
BILE farm. He is by no means poor in this
worlds goods.-Eaquirer. No, but his eter-
nal inheritance would not support two able
bodied goats.
DIR. Dawson says: "Teething sickness is
q bug-bear. never saw a case" The per-
petual tlntinabulations of that infant across
the way moves US to pronounce the Doctor
mistaken Individual.
- Thousands of ex-slaves are weeping over
the thrilling details of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
while their masters sit pensively thinking of
the day of Democratic ascendency when they
will be paid for those slaves. -
-Ex-Guerilla Morgan, one of the leading
Hotspur Bourbons of the South, is seeking
Senatorial honors in Alabama. He is one of
the rebel military ring, and consequently his
chances are considered bright.
- The Raleigh Nescs says: "0ur advice is,
to draw the party line strongly. Those who
have voted the negro ticket, let them stay on
that side. Let them be known as negroes"
An added brain conceiyes morbid thoughts.
1t is thought that If Webb had been so
footed he would have crossed the channel.
OF course, and If Satan hadn't been cloven-
footed he probably would not have deceived
| Eve in the fruit business. eff" Is q strange
word.
Sherman still declares that he loves
Beecher better than his own wife. II Susan
| B. Anthony had been Shearman's wife he
would have been going around now bald-head-
ed and weeping for his children because they
are not.
They have got young man in Balti-
more who never went up in balloon, yet he
is willing to come to this city and turn back
somersault from the summit of the Washing
| ton Monument for twenty dollars and expenses.
| Expenses! Let's see. Sweeping up the
corpse, rs cents; coffin, SIS; digging grave, IS.
Whew! too costly. Can't afford It. Don't

- Eli Perkins, in letter to the New York
Sun, says that Governor Tilden has recently
been afflicted with paralysis, and the literary
pirate, after publishing the fact, turns around
and informs the public that Eli has probably
been soft-soaped by some of Tilden's political
rivals. Tilden is an old bachelor, and old
bachelors are liable to paralysis, and paralysis
is not good thing for Presidential candidate
to have hanging about him like a pail. ..-
