The present prospect is that Marti n
Farrell will be the Democratic candidate
for Council, in the Ninth Ward. How S
that? The Gazette raved at him, and de-
nounced him for all that was bad.
When he comes round as its party can
didate, what will the Ga=ette do /? Why,
support him, of course, 'as meek as any
lamb That's what all lbs wind amount

Suppose you print what the Gosette
said against Martin Farrell along side
of whatthe Commercial said against H F
Pickels and c. H. Gallagher of the old
Ring, and let your readers determine
whether it would be any worse for the
Gasette to support Farrell. than it will
be for the Commercial to support Pickles
or Gallagher.

Well, it is matter for congratulation
that there is anything left. we freely ad-
mt.
Now, the chief points made by 4. E.,
and of which it tsasts above, was that
M. McMenamin had expended e2s, ,5eo.67
of 100000, and had left in hand only
$40, 1888. On these figures Every Event
ing delighted to comment, and set up a
deorying whine against Mr.. McMena-
min. But not one word does it say against
its Republican and Independent friends
when the facts stare it in the face that
in September, 1875, of the $A4, 200 under
the care of VIM. Candy as chairman Of
the Street Committee and VIM. NJ Can
by, chairman of the Opening Street Com
mittee, only Sc. .603.14 was on hand. Thus
showing that Mr.. McMenamin has man.
aged his committees more economically
/ than the committees were managed last
year by the much lauded friends of z. E.
The case stated is thus:

tions..,... $50 900 90

Thus it will be seen that Mr.. McMen-
amin has conducted his two committees
more economically than his predecessors
did last year by some nine or ten thou
sand dolla~s.

A Man Finds a Farm that Just
Suits Him in All but One Thing.

A Detroit real estate agent was
waited on yesterday by tall man
with weed on his hat. who said
he had the cash to pay for a farm.
provided he could get one to suit.
The agent smiled him to seat and
brought ont his register Of descrip

doubt that he could suit the would

marked What I want is farm

There was important news from Mexico
on the 9th, to the effect that President Ler-
do and his entire Cabinet had been captured
by the Revolutionists near the City of Mexi-
co, and that Gen. Escabedo, Secretary Of
War, together with some others, had been
shot. Monterey and Saltillo have surren-
dered to the insurgents, and the whole
northern frontier, with the exception Of
Matamoras, was in the possession OF the
supporters of Iglesias.
By an explosion in coal mine, ut Wind
berg, Germany, on the 10th, % miners were
killed.
The preliminary meeting Of the Confer
ence at C~onstantinople promises well for a
harmonious settlement of the veXed East
ern problem. Representatives of the dit
ferent powers have had little difficulty in
agreeing upon the terms to be applied to
Servia and Herzegovina. The following
points have been decided upon: Montene-
gro is to be granted q considerable terrific
rial addition, and the boundary of Servia is
to be rectifed, by which that province will
also gain territory. The Turkish army will
be required to withdraw from Servia, and
the armistiee will be prolonged for a term
sufficient to cover the time consumed in the
negotiations.

The Democratic House, on the 9Th, de-
cided to employ couns and proceed against
D. Fl. Chamberlain for treason in usurping
the Government OF the State. The Supreme
Court granted a temporary Injunction, re-
straining the banks where the State funds
are deposited from paying out such funds
upon the orders Of Cardozo, the Republican
Treasurer. The Congressional Investigating
Committee arrived and Immediately organ
zed for business.
In reply to an inquiry from the Demo-
cratic House, Genera Ruger, on the 9th,
stated in writing, that should that body APP
pear at the door Of the House of Represent
atives and demand admittance, and should
they be refused admittance by the door
keepers, his orders were to furnish assist
ance, if called upon, to prevent their en-
trance.
Judge Bond, OF the 18th, delivered a de-

The election of Wade Hampton as Gov
ernor having been declared by the Demo-
cratic House, he was publicly inaugurated
or the 14th, the oath of Office being admin

of a large crowd. His inaugural address
counseled a cordial cooperation of all
branches Of the State Government to secure
a peaceful solution of the difficulties by
which they were surrounded.

There were vigorous inquiries at the
~Post-office, yesterday, for the chief
clerk, and when the Captains face ap-
peared at the window the inquirer ask
ed:
Has a cross-eyed woman been here
asking for letters addressed to me?"
The Captain hadn't seen her.
"Weli she'll be here this forenoon.
She's my wife; and she's a little weak
in the head. She's got the notion that
[ get love letters from woman in Can
ada, and she'll be here to ask for my
mail"
"Wellp"
"Well, I don't get any such letters,
of course, but you mustn't give her my
mail. She might get one with q draft
in it, and not know its value. Just say
to her that you never knew of my re-
ceiving a letter here, and that you have
repeatedly heard me say that I had the
best wife in town."
"But 1 don't know YOU"
"Never mind that. In dealing with
an insane woman it's best to be soft
and slick and smooth. just shake
hands with her, praise her small feet,
and tell her she ought to be proud Of
such a husband as / am."-Detrott Free

An Artful Device.

Three artful young women on Aber-
deem Street have made money enough
to give their little sister a good educa-
ton for the winter, and secure the best
medical attendance for their invalid
mother, by very simple means. They
have a very large circle of male ac-
quaintances, and since last August have
been busily engaged in working the
most gorgeous pairof slippers ever seen,
embroidering a velvet smoking-cap
worth a monarch's ransom, and making
up a brocade dressing-gown. When
any n of their male acquaintance
would question them concerning the
destination of these marvels of art, each
of the young women would reply, with
a blush and a kashful smile: 80, it's
for a very particular friend of mine
can't you guess? But, no; that's a Sc
cret you'll find out on Christmas Day."
Then their male acquaintance went out
and s~quandered their substance in riot
Gus presents for the three sisters. And
on Christmas Eve the three sisters took
the costly presents to the fancy-work
store for which they had been working
them, and received pay therefor, and
yesterday morning they sent each of
their male acquaintance a book-mark
of the costly kind that sell for 20 cents
a dozen, and, on taking stock of the
presents they had received from their
male acquaintance, after deducting the
cost of the book-marks, discovered that
they were $643.2S ahead.-Chtcaqo
Tribune.
