WHAT TT MEANS.

What seems to he reasonable explana-
ton OF the term "Cleopatra's Needle, y
which has puzzled 50 many scholars On both
sides Of the Atlantic, is given in a work on
The Mediterranean Illustrated, which was
very recently published in London. The
author says that mcssNsL is the Arabic word
for needle and is also the common name for
an obelisk. eve may add" he continues
that many Of the principal monuments OF
Alexandra are attributed by the Arabs to
Cleopatra, Just Is 50 many places and OBJ
jects in England are associated with Oliver
Cromwell, and in Scotland with William
Wallace Mr.. Jennings, the London cor
respondent Of the New York Void, has
pointed out that the term needle" for
obeIisll was used by an English writer as
long ago as the early part tof the seventeenth
century, AMI its figura i've use in this way
might have been anticipated from analogy
of the Greek. 'Cleopatra's Needle" is now
all clear sailing, As we trust the stone fact
itseli will be before long.

\ Paris dispatch explains the Importance
of the French local elections last Sunday
week, As upon the result turns the future
control Of the senate, which, At present, con-
tains small royalist majority. The dis
patch says:
IL may her" be mentioned that o: the seven
ty-fre senatorships 10 beAled up in January,
lS'9, fifty-two of the present holders voted for
the dissolution and eighteen against II, while
three were neutral, and two Conservatives
are dead. This explains the Importance of
the next senatorial elections, and the anxiety

general council and municipal elections

A NATIONAL MUSEUn.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Goze'te says the question OF the
proper disposition of the million and a half
dollars received by the government from the
proceeds of the Centennial il beginning 10
receive attention. One plan is to have
Congress authorize its Use IN the erection OF
building TO contain the nucleus OF a
national museum. The contents of the gov
ernment building at the Centennial, or such
Of them as could be spared permanently,
would OF themselves form fair beginning
Of such coll ction. But the real necessity
Of building arises from the fact that several
foreign governments and great number OF
individuals presented their entire collections
TO our government at the close of the exhi-
bition. This great mass of valuable mate
al,wOrth in the aggregate several millions
is now in Washington, stored in various
buildings which are not fireproof, and whose
capacity does not even allow Of unpacking.
In addition to these there are stores OF ex-
ceedingly valuable articles in the posses
sion Of the various departments which at
present can scarcely be given store room Ii
is deemed altogether appropriate that a
fund thus acquired should be devoted to
such purpose.

That cIeaned-out community, the Ken
lucky division, who went over 10 Baltimore
to see Ten Broecke scoop the Eastern
hcrses, and who subsequently had to pawn
their famous timing watches To get back To
Washington, will perhaps find consolation
in the thought that history has been re-

Phoenix told years ago las related below
how an Oregon community was take. IN

Blue Grass gentlemen, Messrs. Beck, Black

Broecke's COLLAPSE, are amazingly like the
recorded differences OF the Oregon sufferers
over the defeat OF Miliard's Thousand dollar
mare:
Among them that come up TO speculate in
stock and supplies,
Was a man named Stuart, a man Of enter

old which had a white face,
And he bantered all Portland, o., for three

Thar was a man he'd a horse which he thought
her pretty fair;
She was gineralIy know'd as Millard's thou
sand dollar mare:
He hadn't no idea, he said, of doing any
But he took up Mr. stuart for two hundred
dollars cash.
So every soul in Portland, o. T., went straight
down TO the cou Sc,
And every cent We borrowed We bet on MIL
lard's horse.

Certainly it is pleasant To hear a sayer OF
ill-natured things put down by an intended
victim Of his cynical tongue. The great
assembly" as Manningham terms it, must
have greatly enjoyed the discontinue OF a
certain Lord Paget, who, oblivious to his
own mean origin, thought to extol his supe-
riority by asking Sir Thomas White wha,
he thought Of the quality OF the cloak he
wore. Truly" replied the worthy Alder
man, ..it seems to be a very good cloth but
remember when was young beginner,
selling your lordships father a far better
one, to make him gown when he was Ser
geant to the Lord Mayor; and he was a
very honest Sergeant" Nor did those be-
hind the scenes at a certain theatre fail to
appreciate the situation when a prosperous
equestrian's daughter observed to a retired
actress: After all, you were only circus
artist; my father recollects you well :"
and the elder lady retorted: Il dare saw he
does, my dear; he used to chalk my shoes" !"
