Lord Harrington joins Mr.. Gladstone
and other Liberals in the British Parlia-
ment, in finding fault with the policy of
Lords Beacons6eld and Salisbury at the
Berlin Congress. 1t is intimated that the
Liberal opposition may result in a disso-
luton of Parliament and an appeal to the
country. In such an event the Premier
would doubtless be sustained.

The Hagerstown Ne1cs says that Mr..
ID. b. Russell, who has been prospecting
for copper on his farm, on the Blue Ridge.
for several years has unearthed specimens
equally as productive as the Lake Superior
copper, yielding an average of 10 per cent.
The shaft which was sunk several years
agn having proven satisfactory the force
are now at work at the base of the hill,
where silver ore of light yield is thrown
out abundantly Mr. Russell is very iu-
bilant over his success, and declares that
the prospecting shall go on. Judging
from the fact that capitalists and mining
men manifest deep interest in this new
ly developed enterprise and the fine speci-
mems shown US, it is clear that immense
mineral wealth lies dormant in the heart
of the Blue Ridge mountains, which sooner
or later, must be aroused and put to use.

If Henry A. Wise were living, and a

Journalistic Wit.

Hon. Henry Watterson, member of
Congress from Kentucky, and editor of the
Louisville C6urier-.Journal, finds fault with
his fellow journalists for their persistent
attempts at wit. His objections are valid
Not only the light and airy among them,
but the grave and digni6ed metropolitan
dailies vie with the Writings in the contin-
uous effort to utter smart things. 1t is
well enough to give play to the spirits, at
times, and TO cultivate to a moderate de-
gree the imaginative faculty, but, to do so
to the neglect of weightier things, is like
sitting down to dessert Of whipsyllabub
without the usually preceding courses of
more solid meat. The appetite clogs un-
der such pabulum, and the mental palate
is soon stated with the effervescence of small
beer. If the repast is to be what it should
be, the solids must not be overlooked
The dessert after the more substantial
courses gives finish to the meal
