THOMAS CARLYLE is a great grumbler an

THOMAS CARLYLE is great grumbler and
quite too surly to be at all times pleasant
companion; but 1t is difficult to refrain from
sympathzing with his impatience on recent
occasion when he was visiting friend.
Among the guests at table was one of the
men of "multitudinous slack-jaw'', Of the
kind too, who not only talk themselves but
are also determined to make their victims
talk. The monologist who is content with an
occasional "ah" or "yes" from his neighbor
is endurable, but the man who insists upon
conversational reciprocity is to be Stunned.
The one in question Interviewer Mr.. Car
lyle on history, on art, on politics, on biogra-
ply, on all the subjects of which men gossip
Mr.. Carlyle was wearied beyond expression.
Finally his endura nee gave out and rising
suddenly he said to his host, 'For God sake
put me in room by myself and give me
pipe" And now the bore goes about over the
earth and says Carlyle has absolutely no con-
versational powers.

FEW men have more substantial reasons
for withdrawing from journalism than Mr..
Carruth, the Vineland editor. His with
drawal has not been so sudden as it promised
at the time of interruption in his editorial la
bors caused by Mr.. Lands and his little pis-
tol. He has taken time to think; and appar-
emily the more he thinks the less ne likes the
profession. A state of affairs where print
ing Office must be iron-clad, and where the
editor must sit at his desk clad in coat of
mail, is not bewlderingly attractive to the
Eastern mind, however much it may be in
consonance with the necessities of Western
or Southern journalism.

IT has not been generally known what bad
fellows the Freemasons are. But somebody
in France has just exposed them. 1t seems
that they are possessed of secret which, is the
secret of the devil, and that they perform
DEVILS mass ION an altar lighted by six can
dies. Every one, after having spit ON the
crucifix, tramples it under FOOT" the diabol-
ical ceremony terminating by every one as
cending the altar and striking the holy sac
rament with poniard.

IT is getting to be common practice in the
west for the agriculturist to saun:er out in
the morning, and kill few bushels of grass
hoppers before breakfast. He calls it taking
an appetizer, and declares it much more effec-
tive than the 'bitters" in common use for
that purpose. The exercise incident to chasing
down the agile insect is inexpressibly invig-
Grating. 1t has become the sole recreation
of the inhabitants, and on Sundays and 9TH
er leisure days they devote themselves TO
the determination of the pest instead of
going to church. One man has dug trench

WHENEVER Latin statesmen of the liber-
al school have little leisure they devote
themselves to the manufacture of constitu-
tions, in which employment they seem to
take great delight. The Spaniards are at it
now, six hundred of them. Little is to be
hoped from their efforts, for Spanish consti-
tutional tai,ors have ever been pronounced
failures. They either fail to accommodate
the cut to the small quantity of cloth, or, if
they succeed in fashioring a constitution,
make very bad fit indeed.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-A Washington
special says that there is still no abso-
lutely certain information as to who
is to be Deiano's successor, but all the
circumstances point to G.. d. Coleman,
of Pennsylvania. There can be but
little doubt but what the position has
been rendered to Coleman, but it is
understood that reply from him has
not yet been received. Several Penn
sylvanians, in this city, who know
Coleman well, say he will certainly
accept. Some additional information

ber of the Pennsylvania State Senate
and is now President of the State
Board of Charity, but has never held
has frequently been suggested as a
candidate for Governor and Treasurer.
His ancestors in 1889 settled in Lam
caster, New Lebanon County, and
gradually became possessed of an i'm
mense landed estate, which is rich in
iron ore Coleman is very rich and is
largely engaged in iron manufacture
ing and other industries. He is a man
of good business capacity and his time
is almost exclusively occupied with
his own personal affairs. He raised
q regiment, at his own expense, dur
ing the war, and maintained the fam
lilies OF all the married during their
absence in the field. He was liberal in
all contributions for such purposes and
was strong supporter of the Sanitary
Commission. Judge Black says that
Coleman has great executive ability,
is man Of integrity and rich beyond
contemplation, and is known in his
own State as generous benefactor and
friend to the poor. . y.

Telegraph Matters i'm New Mexico.

Lieutenant P Reade, superintendent of the government telegraph, is now at
 Santa Fe, from where he will make his
 report on the new New Mexican line, about to be constructed, to the Chief
 Signal office. He met Mir. R. H.
 Howe, whose party went over the new
 North-Star road, at Fort Craig, and MT.
 Howe is reported as having expressed himself very strongly in favor of this route. There is an abundance of good timber for poles, and water. all along this route, very important item. The. Lieutenant met Col. J. c. Van Duzer at SOcorro, who returned with him to Santa Fe The people of Las Cruces and La Mesilla are making every ef- fort to have the line come down the Rio Grande, but as the appropriation made for this line is so extremely mall, viz: S3O,OOO, it is feared that the shortest possible route between Santa Fe and Tucson will have to be selected, which is the NOrth-Star route. Meet ings have been held at both Las Cru ces and La Mesilla, and company in- corporated with a capital Of S22,OO0, 70 build a private line from Las Cruces via Mesilla to Silver City there to con meet with the the government lines, a distance of about one hundred and one miles. The estimate of Lieutenant Theo. Smith for this line is $15,5s0, and should circumstances require tt to be built, the investment will prove an ex- tremely profitable one. Taking the re- ceipt of the TucsoOn office as a basis, the company can safely calculate on receipts of about $500 per month, while the expenses for operating and maintaining the line will not exceed $500 per month, which would be about twenty-two per cent. ne: profit per an mum. Besides, the company will come under the provisions of sections 5265, 5269 of the Revised Statutes Of the United States, which give such com panies most valuable aid. Section 5264 grants such companies the right to take and use from the public lands through which its lines of telegraph may pass, the necessary stone, timber and other materials for its posts, piers, stations. and other needful uses in the construction, maintenance and opera ton of its lines of telegraph and may pre-empt and use such portion of the unocupied public lands, subject 10 pre-emption, through which their lines of telegraph may be located, or may be necessary for ther stations, not exceeding forty 40 acres for each sta ton; but such stations shall not be within fifteen 15) miles miles of each other"
 We congratulate the people ot south ern New Mexico on their enterprising spirit thus evlnced, and hope should they be cut of from the government line, that the best of success may crown their efforts in establishing such an important public work

WHEN Professor Marin, the violinist, was performing here a few weeks ago, we expressed the opinion that in all our experience we had scarcely heard his superior and we are pleased to see our opinion confirmed by the verdict elsewhere as to his performance on the violin. The San Diego Union of the 17th instant says: Last evening a number of ladies and gentlemen of the musical circles of this city assembled by invitation at @ rehearsal" as il may be called, by MT. Marin and the brilliant pianist who accompanies him, MT. Aguilar. Ii was our fortune to be present and we were taken by surprise. Mr. Marln is certainly one of the great violinists of the world. Prot. Black mer, MT. Williams and others who have heard Ole Bull. Weiniswski, and other great artists, place Marin on the same level.
