AT Oakland, California, last week,
DR.. Carver, with a rifle, broke 895
glass balls out Of 1000 tossed from
a point twenty feet distant. The
time, including MI stoppages, was
three hours and three minutes.
Secretary Sherman says he has no
kaowledge "that anybody over
called him q damned fool" He
must have made this remark before
the returns CAME in from his letter
to Returning Board Anderson
Phitaaelohio Times.
If the administration must send
army officers to New Orleans to see
about the members of the Return
ing Board, it should pick out Gener.
al Phil Sheridan. He knows Wells
and gave his opinion of him ten
years ago. .,.
When man marries wife for the
sake of her fathers money and re-
turns from his honeymoon to find
that the old gentleman has just paid
thirty cents on the dollar he is apt
to feel that Mr.. Beecher and Colo
mel Ingersoll are misleading guides.
The Esquimaux have beautiful
custom. When little child dies
they lay dogs head in the same
grave, under the impre ssion that
when the child wakes up it can't find
it's own way to the habitations of the
just, and that the instincts of the
dog will lead it thither.
The California papers cause it to
be understood that the Republicans
of the fourth district Of the State
will renominate Mr.. Pacheco for
Congress, and show the Democratic
majority Of the House, which has
just voted him out of the scat, what
California indignation is when it is
once invited out. ....
The suggestion of the Washington
Post is that the prosecution of
Returning Board Anderson will
make him Republican candidate
for vice-president in 1880. We fear,
however, that this is somewhat pre-
mature. It does not now look as if
Anderson would be out of Jail dur
ing that interesting campaign.
The matter of preserving the Old
South Church hus hooomo worry
serious to the Bostonians. The
pocketbooks of the new generation
do not appreciate the relics Of the
past, and it is now proposed to kill
two birds with one stone by building
a block Of stores and putting the
Old South OH the roof. This is,
however, only a half~measure. The
better way would be to suspend the
church in the air. with balloon as
cents at regular intervals. One of
the hardest things we have to do
is to pay any respect to the past.
Our fothers had q good time and are
gone. Now let us clear away the
ground and have another good time
all to ourselves, is our motto. t'H
Another question Of Importance
has arisen among the Presbyterians
Of Canada, and one which may end
in q schism. A Clergyman was cons
PEELED to cross q wide river on his
way to church. Instead Of riding,
on a given Sunday, as was the Gus
tom, he put on pair of skates.
He has been arraigned for breaking
the Sabbath. The trouble was that
nnder a severe cross examination
he contested to a certain degree of
pleasure in skating If it had been
painful to him then the Sabbath
would have remained intact, for it, is
perfectly lawful to do disagreeable
things on that day (; but he actually
had the, audacity to enjoy it, and
took off his skates and hid them in
the bushes with something that ap-
preached sigh, and = that was
naughtyto the last degree. There
are some ministers in this vicinity,
who, though they cannot cut figure
on the ice, can cut q terrible figure
in the pulpit, and yet nothing is
said.' = hHot ~ 'a;
