A Frenchman engaged in study
ing the English language declares
that, inasmuch as a number of COWS
are called cattle, why a number of
cats are not called cowtle, is thing
he can't understand.
"In this State" says a Georgia
paper, "there are two kinds of bowl
worm" There is but one in this
State-not the one that destroys the
cotton, but the sort that destroys
the whisky.
Capt. Terry, of the regular army
has gone to join Gen. Howard in
Idaho. This is fortunate, as Gen.
Howard is badly IN need of some
thing or somebody to Terryfy the
Indians.
A Radical editor in Ohio says
''he expects TO liye to see the day
when the Democratic party shall
have been swept from the face of
the earth" If there were any as
surance that his years are to be as
long as are his ears, there are those
who might regard his expectations
as not unreasonable.
An exchange tells of ga sweet lit
tie goose of a girl" who has sued
an old fellow in Michigan for breach
of promise of marriage, claiming
$4,000 damages. If the "sweet lit.
tie goose" gets the Michigander's
money, she will have feathered her
nest very handsomely.
They have recently found near
Bellefont, Alabama, some tracks
which they think must have
been made bysa giant. They are
eighteen inches long aud eight
inches wide. The fact Of the bust
ness is, some Chicago woman has
been struggling through that coun
try.
Inasmuch as it has been demon
strated by a citizen of California
that corns can be got rid Of by coat
ing them with gum arabic muci-
lage every night on going to bed,
the wretched practice of digging
them with a grubbing-hoe is likely
OF fall into disuse.
A Louisiana swamp doctor mar
ried a widow sometime ago and
committed suicide six weeks after
ward. They can't account for his
singular conduct, unless it was that,
being morbidly fastidious, he didn't
like the cut of the first husbands
clothes.
Turkey, they say, wants to en-
ploy few first class American sur
geOns for her army, and has autho-
rized DR.. Warren Bey, of Paris, TO
secure them. But she will pay but
500 month in gold and their
travelling expenses to Constantine
pie. The crop of surgeons in this
country is certainly large. but she
oughtn't to expect us TO send her a
first class article al that price. If
she'll take them as they come, well
be glad to spare them a few thous-
ands for their victuals and clothes.
The spirit Of lawless deviltry
which prevails throughout the coun-
try everywhere, especially north of
the Ohio, should be crushed out by
the iron heel of the law at once, or
there will be no end to the trouble
it is going to create. Whenever a
communistic scoundrel is caught
and his guilt proven, he should re
ceive the extreme penalty of the
law. The assassin and the incendi-
airy should find the law for the pun
ishment Of their crimes memorable,
and its ministers swift to execute
its DEGREES. Mercy to scoundrel
ism is death to the public peace.
Since the independence of Mexi-
co was declared, September u, 1921,
by Iturbide, and Spain lost her grip
on the country, the changes in the
Government have been remarkable.
Iturbide was Emperor for about
ole year, when Santa Anna pro
claimed the Republic, which lasted,
with various vicissitudes, until lS4l.
Then came the Dictatorship, lasting
until the second Empire under
Macmillan in 1864, followed in
1867 by the republic established by
Benito Juarez. From the estab
lishment of the first republic to the
present. time there have been about
sixty revolutions and Instructions,
and they are likely ~ continue IN
I'll Mexico has a President or die
tator with a sufficiently largo and
faithful army to keep him in power
until he can thoroughly direct the
attention of the people 10 the indus
tries and the Development Of their
resources.
A brood Of banks under State
laws we're organized in St. Louis
upon the credit pian-that is, upon
the same plan that insurance com
panies used TO he organized in Ohio.
Subscribers 10 stock made cash
payment, and depended upon the
profits to pay the balance. The re
