A Michigan paper is authority for the
statement that Dan Rice wanted to fight
q duel with Parson Brownlew because the
parson wouldn't indorse Dams show as
"a great moral exhibition" Forty years
ago you might have wormed fight of
any sort out of the parson, if you went
about it in the right way. but of late years
his appetite has improved so much that
it can no longer be said of him that he
would rather fight than eat.
The practical joker of California now
amuses himself by giving his friend
cigar in which is some nitro-glycerine
and then see him light it aud blow his
nose off, 1t must be very amusing; but
we should think that by the time a fellow
had lost one or two noses he would be-
gin to regard the thing as monotonous
and want to conceal an ounce or so of
lead under the joker's shirt by way Of
change.
They say that Pond, the Worcester
Mass. forger, makes such noise pray
ing that Frost. the murderer, who occu-
pies an adjoining cell, has asked to be re-
moved to other quarters. Pond supposes
the Almighty is deaf. and no doubt He IS
to such prayers as his. He ought to be
told that the louder the prayers of such
rascals as he, the less they are heard.
Boston pays official salaries to the

Pass COMMENTS ON BELKNAP's CASE
The New York Tribune looks npon it
as the natural.resnlto Of that domestic ey-
travagance, which has become n national
disgrace, and rs such touches the Amer
lean people without distinction of poll
tics. The good name of our Government
has been scorched in place where it had
kept its honor clean. Apart from the
direct guilt Of the offense agniust morality
and public virtue, Gen. Belknap must
bear the additional odium of being the
first to break down the personal integrity
of the Presidents official advisors.
The Herald says: 1.-The sudden over
whelning and irretrievable disgrace of
Secretary Belknap is in one sense an oc-
casion for profound regret and sorrow,
but sentiments OF this kind are swallowed
up in indignation at his crime. and an
earnest desire to see it visited by just
retribution."
II claims that Belknap is merely a
sample Of men by whom President Grant
was surrounded, and mentions the cases
of Williams, Delano. Richardson and
Cresswell as instances. 1t contends that
Belknap, being no longer civil officer,
cannot be impeached Belknap's case
will be terribly damaging to the Admin
istration. ~

We MUsr PUT GRANT THRoUGH.-It is
rumored that President Grant proposes
an entire change of Cabinet, with view
to reform his administration in his last
year. Our advice would be to sacrifice
his wife's relations, who have been too
closely identified with his administration
for its good name. Let brother Oryille
and brothers-in-law Casey and Dent slide.
Like the young physician in his first case
OF accouchment, who, having lost the
child and the mother. thought he could
pull the father through by reason of his
strong constitution, so we, friend of the
administration and an admirer of Presi-
dent Grant. are trying hard to save him.
his Cabinet is past redemption his
friends have fallen from grace his rela-
tlves have gone back on him. There is
swlndllng, fraud, stealing, corruption all
around him. But we are in hopes the
PRESIDENT will pull through by reason of
his strong constitutional r. Chronicle.

Mr.. BENNET's S APPROACHING MARRIAGE.
While attending stylish party in Madi-
son avenue, in November last, James
Gordon Bennett of the Herald, met Miss
Ida May, formerly of Baltimore, but then
and now of New York. Miss May is tall,
and of rather slight build. She has bril-
liant black eyes and dark waving hair, as
well as pure complexion, the envy of
half the society bellies of the city. She
is just 10 years of age, and has been out
about year. She is the daughter of
retired New York banker and niece of
DR.. May, Washington physician. She
is also connected by family ties with the
Oelricks, Livingstons, Homes and the de
Peysters. Mr.. Bennett, who has been
engaged twice before. once to the daugh-
ter of an Ex-Governor of this State, and
once to a well-known Cuban society belle,
had not known Miss May many days be-
for he succumbed to her charms of per-
son, manner and mind, and became reg
ularly engaged to her. Mr.. Bennett re-
Gently ordered for his iancee at Tiffany's
an elegant jewel case filed with the most
valuable jewels, from tiara to finger
rings and earrings. The wedding will
take place in the third week iu April, and
it is expected to be the most brilliant seen
in this country for long time. Ne,r

WALES WANTS MORE MONEY,

Wales, as Field Marshal, draws from
the national treasury of Great Britain the
handsome sum of $4,000 per annum.
As Duke of Cornwall he has an income
of over $1,000 600. He also holds two COL
onelcies. which are worth together $1O.-
900 year. When it was concluded to
send him to India to do his country an
inestimable service by his grace and COM
posure, he was voted the sum of 1890.
900 to defray his expenses. Just pre-
vious to that a Prince-loving Parliament
voted him still larger sum to get him
out of debt. And recently official
statement has appeared in the London
Times intimating that the Prince is hard
up, and that Parliament will be asked ut
its present session to give him 800, 900
more to relieve him from financial diff
culties. No doubt the vulgar and un-
mannerly followers of Bradlaugh and
such like unkempt radicals will growl at
this demand. No doubt the great bulk
of British taxpayers will grumble over it..
Possibly some cantankerous malcontents
will be led to the conclusion that royalty
is u luxury, and that Prince of Wales is
an expensive institution. Nevertheless,
we have no doubt at all that Her Maies-
tvs faithful Commons will vote 500 600
with cheerful alacrity, and that the more
influential British press will ponr con-
tempt upon the mean radicals who object.
